The Corn Crops.

CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-The corn season 50
far, according to comprehensive report
in the Chicago Times, has been very Pc
culiar one, starting out as it did under the
most favorable circumstances-the month
of June dry and cool, with just enough
moisture to keep the corn growing and put
the fields in condition for uninterrupted
cultivation until the 1st of July; but ever
since that date the corn crop has been sub
jected, with the exception of some limited
areas in Ohio and Indiana, to such ex-
tremes of dry weather and heat that the
general prospects to-day point to a crop
reduced in quantity and quality.

principal grounds in the country, but
never witnessed such disgracelul pro-
ceedings, and it should be stamped out
without the least delay.
The matter of umpires should also be
looked into more carefully. The public
demands that only thoroughly expert and
reliable men be selected, even 1t should
