the noon figures were about the same as those of
the opening.' In the afternoon, however,
better feeling prevailed, principally due

agreement on more important issues is meeting
with tine approval of the street The principal

Mexican Pananoa.

The Mexican towns are full of
churches; hence the continuous ring
ing of bells is deafening. Priests are
so numerous, and at one time so
were monks, though it might be well
to receive with great caution the stories
Re garding these people which every
now and again used to find place in
the Mexican newspapers. Some of
them might not be all that could be
desired. But the church and the con-
ventional establishment "got into poll
tics" and then such tales served their
passing turn in discrediting the insti-
buttons attacked. BY all accounts, the
discipline of the old converts was
something tyranical, so far as punish
ment for offences against the "order'
was concerned.
They were nests OF intrigue, envy
and heartburnings; and though the
monk who might be brought by the
police to his cloister In state OF
drunkenness would receive only q
severe admonition, should the same
individual have in his cups been i'm
prudent enough to have told funny
story about the superior, and the way
he passed his time, the ingenuity OF
the convent would have been exhaust
ed in devising punishment for the I'M
happy ecclesiastic. Sartorius, for
whose accuracy do not vouch, tells
us that one of their punishments con-
sisted in the offender being compelled
to lie dinnerless outside the rectory

The Raymond g. Whitcomb Excursions
to the Pacific Coast.


Messrs. Ray mond & Whitcomb. the
we'll known excursion managers, Lave
issued their prospectus of spring trans
continental trips. The excursions differ
in pan from the winter trips, inasmuch
as they provide for n more extended
sight seeing round. There will be two
grand tours, the dates of departure
being April 20 and May 8. Both par
ties will visit Colorado, New Mexico,
Arizona, and Southern California on
the outward trip, and later sojourn at
both San Francisco and Monterey.
There will alto be ample time in each
case for visiting the Yosemite Valley
aud Big Trees. One party will return
from San francisco through Nevada,
Utah, Colorado and Nebraska by the
most picturesque routes, and the other
~iIl make further round through the
Pacific Northwest, visiting Astoria,
r. rtlsnd, Tacoma. Seattle, and Victo-
ria, B. c., before journey ing eastward
on the Northern Pacific Railroad
through Oregon, Washing ton Territory,
Idaho, Montana, the newly created
Territory Of Lincoln formerly North
ern Dakota), Minnesota, etc. In con.
Dection with the last mentioned excur-
sion, side trips may be made to Alaska
and the Yellowstone National Park.
Circulars giving full details Of these
trips may be had by addressing II. T.
Shields, Agent for the Raymond Excur
sions, Ill South Ninth street, under the

Tho Goat of a Bushe, q. Corn.

There is statistieian about the Pal
mer House, Chicago, who desires to
impress everybody with economic
facts. Said he: do you see that
man over there? Well, he's farmer
down near Elgin. There he goes with
a friend; they're going to get a drink.
The farmer will pay for it. Now let
me see. That man will sweat two
mortal hours next spring to plew
enough ground to raise one bushel Of
corn. That bushel of corn he will
sell for 80 cents. He is going in there
now to spend the 80 cents for two
drinks. Therefore the farmer and the
corn have parted. Now. let me tell
you what becomes of the corn. A
bushel OF corn makes seventeen quarts
of whisky-four-and s-quarter gall
Ions. The distillery gets its first
prolific cents gallon. There
you are; 81 for that bushel of
corn. Now the government comes in
for 80 cent? gallon-$3. 95 added to So
makes $5.8 That brings the product
of the bushcl of corn down TO the Job
Der and the wholesaler and, finally, by
several stages, to the retailer. BY the
time ii reaches the latter the bushel of
corn or its product of four and quarter
gallons has been reduced one half,
which means eight and half gallons.
There are sixty drinks to the gallon
that is the average-eight and half
gallons means 270 drinks at Is cents
each-there we have SAC 80 as the con-
sumers's price for a bushel of corn
which the farmer raises and sells for
80 cents. Who says there is not in.
dustry in this countryP But the farmer
we saw just now spent his " hole bushel
of corn In the price of two drinks, and
