much smaller than that of 1882, which weighed

by the crop of / $50 which weighed 3.201 546, $50

which weighed 2,772, 44S4S0 pounds. These are
the only largercrops ever produced in this country
and of these only two considerably exceeded that of

Seventy-two years ago yesterday the battle
of Lake Erie was fought. Rhode Island most
appropriately celebrated the occasion by dedi-
eating monument to her illustrious son, Com
modore Perry, who was the hero OF that famous
engagement. The monumental bronze is set
up at Newport, the home of his manhood and
his burial place. Perry was an ardent patriot
and one of the bravest Of the brave men who
fought for cur country il the war OF 1912. His
native State has unduly plocrastinatcd the com
memorative honors TO which ne was prc-eini-
nently entitled. But better late than never.

There seem, to be excellent ground for the
structures made by the Commissioners OF Ac-
counts upon the methods of conducting busl-
ness in the civil district courts The cases adj
Indicated in these courts are usually OF niue
importance to the general public and rarely
are noticed in the press. This fact may have a
tendency to encourage looseness OF practice.
Certainly there is no good reason why case
should be dismissed simply because the com
planning policeman is not on hand hit this is
a frequent cause of dismissal The police are
bound to do their duty, to be sure, but the
civil justice shOald not be governed by strict
technicaIites. Merely calling attention TO this
matter ought to remedy it.
If the Cincinnati Conference of the Methodist
Church is a truly representative boGy-and OF
course we are to assume that it is-then Dr.
Leonard, the Prohibition candidate for Cover
nor of Ohio. is going to encounter good deal
of opposition where he least expected it. A
telegram from Cincinnati shows that no less
than forty-two members of the conference were
in favor of adopting clause in the report OF
the committee on the state of the Church, con-
demning the participation in politics of any of
our ministers by becoming candidates or public
adso coates of any political party" The clause
was indeed stricken out, but the large vote to re-
tain il must be regarded as standing for large
volume of pablo sentiment in the denomina-
ton to which the doctor is credited and it
furnishes him food for solemn reflection.
The Carolnes affair has rapidly assumed a
