The following communication from a
London publisher to The Antheneum de-
scibes substantially the overdone condi
ton of cheap novel publishing in this
country also: Shilling story books are
appearing something like three or four a
day. When a good story does happen to
make a stir. it is now promptly choked
out OF existence by another treading TOO
closely upon 1t heels, and that In turn dies
before well born. Because a story Is
startling in situation. is told in a certain
number OF pages, and is sold for a shil-
ing, the belief Is widespread that a gigan-
tic fortune follows. MSS. from un-
trained hands keep pouring In, but proba-
bly, not one shilling story In every dozen
that sees the light pays its expenses. The
bookstalls will not hold them. the reputa-
ton of the publisher is being ruined by
them, and the public is sick of them.-Ex-

ONE day last week the Altoona 1ri-
bune said: THE simple truth about
the nine Democrats who we're SO sum-
msrily kicked out of the Ohio Legisla-
ture is that they were not elected. y
And again: "The addition of two
hundred votes to the number actually
cast for them appeared to elect the nine
Democrats, but they knew they had not
been elected and never pretended to
deny the facts" 1t is the easiest thing
in the world TO write and print such
wholesale and mendacious declarations
as the foregoing, Soth of which are false
and unfouuded, but eminently charac-
teristic of the methods of the Tribune
when Democrats are the victims Of an
infamous outrage. These nine Demo-
cratic members from Hamilton county
(Cincinnati) were kicked OUT of the
House, not after full and thorough in
vestigstion of the alleged frauds con-
nected with the election, but actually
without any investigation at all, and
upon the mere naked and unsupported
allegation OF fraud made by the Repub-
Iicau leaders, who were determined to
put John Sherman's election to the L.
S. Senate. which was conceded by the
Democrats, beyond all possible doubt or
contingency. For this reason alone
nine Democrats we're kicked outs Of
the House and nine Republicans pitch
forked into it. This high-handed,
Revolutionary and indefensible proceed
ing is only a little less in its infamy
than the action Of Gen. Sheridan when
he was Military Governor Of Louisiana
under Grants administration, and when
he ordered one of his subordinate officers
to march a squadron Of infantry into
tho House o9 Representatives of that
State, then in session, and drive out the
Speaker and six or eight Democratic
members, whose names were furnished
the officer, and install the same number
of carpetbaggers in their seats thus va
Gated at the point of the bayonet.-
There was a motive for this method of
''purging" the Louisiana House, just
as there was a motive, as we have sta
ted, for the performance of the Ohio
Republicans. whose sole defence rests
upon the old maxim that might makes
| right or on the robber theory, Let
| him take who can and let him keep
/ who's able.'

A Chinese Funeral in Allegheny.

Yee Chung, the Chinaman found
dead in his laundry at No. "a Washing
ton street, on Wednesday morning, WAS
buried at UDlondale cemetery, AIle-
ebeny. on Friday afternoon. The Pa
gan rites were rigldly observed. The
peculiar conduct of the Ceiestials be-
fore the corpse left the laundry, while
en- route to the burial ground, and at
the grave, was witnessed by a large
number of curious people. When UE-
dertaker SAMSON arrived at the washing
establishment with heaTse, fully thir-
ty Cinnamon had congregsted in little
dingy room adjoining that in which the
corpse lay. When the underta ker en-
tered, the heather who seemed to be IN
charge of the house greeted him pleas
antly. a short conversation followed.
after which the undertaken was invited
to take a seat. Then the funeral ser

Cinnamon walked from the ante-rOom.
His head was bowed, and in his hand
he held lighted taper. He passed sew
en- times around the coffin and retired
and was followed by another. Then
they all kneeled beside the coffin and
one chartered, presumably in prayer,
after which the coffin was placed in the
heaIse. Four Cinnamon acted as pail

the coffin was lowered by the undertaken
assisted by the pail bearers. Then {
chattsring began which continued fol
several minutes. The clothes of the
deceased were then burned at the b eaC
of the grave. A number of small wal
tapers were then lighted and stuck into

SOME BIG CROPS.

Most Americans have faint idea
that the limited States beat all the coun-
tries in the known world in the raising
of big crops, but very few probably
could tell the aggregate amount and
value of any given crop. The Depart
ment of Agriculture has sent out It's
crop report for the year just closed, and
the fieures are worth studying. The
cotton crop. it is claimed, will aggre-
gate six and one half million bales,
worth in the hands of the planters about
three hundred millions OF dollars. Ihe
wheat crop for the year reaches sol liz, =
600 bushels, worth at the farmers gFa-
narIes $275, 800, 800. The crop OF oats
reached 629, 400, 600 bushels, worth
Sl79.631, $50. The great American crop,
however, is corn, the production OF
which for 1885 reached the enormous
total of .q36. 1T. 900 bushels, worth
$685.. 6T4. $50, OF a round fifty millions
more than the combined cotton and
wheat CROPS. The combined value Of
the four crops above mentioned aggre-~
gates about fourteen hundred millions
of dollars.
OF the States that grow the big crops
of corn Illinois stands first, with crop
of 26S. 99S, ,0O0 bushels Iowa second
with 242. ace, ,O0e bushels; Missouri third
with 1S6. .S61, ,OOo; Kansas fourth, With
15Ss39O 600 Indiana fifth, with 49,
oo4 600: Nebraska sixth, with l29, 426, =
coo. and Ohio seventh, with III, ,S65, 200.
The big wheat states are Minnesota,
with "a, 285, 600 bushels; Michigan, with
81, 261, 900, and Iowa, with 3O,SO2,oOO.
Dakota, which is not State, but would
like to be two States, comes fourth in
the list of wheat growing districts, with
T.
26. $4,000 Californ5a sixth, with 26,-
692. .OOe. and Ohio seventh, with 20, 593, :
600 bushels. The above order of pro-
duetion is based upon the crops of 1885,
and cannot be relied upon as the stan
dard of production for a term OF years.
These figures show that in general
1885 was an exceedingly good crop year.
Wheat fell below the average for the
last five years, but the coT2 crop surely
and the cotton and oats crops probably
were the biggest ever gathered. The
reports in regard to the other crops,
such as rye, barley, buckwbest and po-
tatoes, while not given in detail, show
an excellent average and indicate that
we have enough for home use and good
surplus to spare to our foreign neigh
bors if they want it. Unfortunately our
foreign nefghbors seem to be a little
slow about offering to take our surplus
corn, wheat and cotton this year. This
is owing chiefly to the competition of
India, Russia, Egypt and even Australia
and South America. The agricultural
development Of these countries is max
ing rapid strides and we must open our
eyes to the fact that they are destined
to become much more formidable in the
matter of furnishing Europe with agTi-
! cultural products than they have ever
been in the past.-PhiLadelphaa Times.

IT is no longer q secret that John
Kelly, the veteran Tammany Hall lead
er, is slowly but surely approaching his
end. A few weeks ago his condition
was regarded as quite favorable, but q
recent relapse took place and all that
his physicians will now say about him
Is that ''while there is life there is
hope" Whatever else John Kelly may
have been as a politician and as the
head and front of the most powerful and
influential political organization in the
country, his personal integrity has new
er been doubted. No man ever charged
him with personal or official corruption.
