JEALOUS sQUABBLE OVER PUBLIC BUILDING
AT sEDALIA.
WASHINGTON, March lSpeciaD There was
another exhibition of Democratic harmony" of
Ne monkey and parrot sort in the House to-day
A bill for public building at Sedaa, Mo-, was
under consideration, and Mr.. Bland, of that State
spoke against il. AS usual, he inveighed against
The disgraceful extravaganza" Of the House in
voting money lavishly for such purposes The
,ytrayapance he ascribes TO " RObber Tariff"
which had wrung money from the poor taxpay-
ers and locked it up in the Treasury to be a
temutation TO legislators less unselishly honest
than himself Bland is always loaded and prmed
with statistics which he fires away with supreme
Indifference as to their accuracy or the effect
which his volleys may sproduce Some OF the
figures which he gave to-day were sharply ques-
toned by Western men, who declared that they
were false and some of whom intimated that the
Missouri statesman knew it. Jefferson City Is
in BANDS district, and has public building, SO
that he is out OF the woods so to speak, and
can afford TO attack everybody eses bill
Sedalia is in Mr. Heard's district and when he
rose 70 reply TO Bland he began by saying that
fhe atter's opposition was inspired by mean
Jealousy Of Sedalia, which hal within few
years greatly outstdpped the Missouri capital u

Plentiful Crops.-rhe returns Of yield of
corn made to the Department OF Agriculture
indicate q yield per acre quite as large as
that Of 1885, and larger than any other crop
since that Of 1880. The aggregate, grown
in larger area, will exceed that of any
previous American product, being close To
1900, 0O0 900 bushels, or about 80 bushels
per capita. There is Il good supply in near
ly all parts of the South, so that compare
lively little will be required from the West.
The yields from the Atlantic States are mod
crate, seriously reduced by frosts ON the
Northern border. After three years OF low
yields potatoes give an average Of about 80
bushels per acre, or nearly the rate Of yield
OF 1879. The yield has been increased In
the South. The total potato product is es.
timated at 100. 100000 bushels, or 81 100000
more than the estimated product of 1887
The average yield Of buckwheat is IL bush
els per acre, and the crop nearly 100000
bushels. The hay crop is slightly above
the average in yield, or 1872 tons per acre
There is a strong tendency to increase the
area in the South, and yields upon cult.
waited areas rather than natural meadows
are relatively large.
