WASHINGTON, January 1.-THE
December report Of the Department
of Agriculture, which publishes in
detail estimates OF some Of the more
important crops, makes the product
of corn 1887. $50, 900 bushels, grown
on 1872, 763 acres, valued Oh the
farm at $677, 56l, $50, or BAL cents
per bushel, or against 44.4 for the
crop of 1887, decrease of % per
cent, the product of 1887 being 81
per cent. less in volume than that of
1883.
The average yield of the CONNER
cial belt, or seven corn surplus
States, averages 1872 bushels per
acres. The Atlantic coast, south of
the Potomac, averages liz bushels
of comparatively poor quality.
The wheat aggregate is 4l4,S6S,-
900 bushels, grown on 37,336,l 1873
acres. valued at 1884, 247, $50. The
average yield is, therefore, ILL per
acre; winter wheat 116 bushels, and
spring wheat 1913 bushels per acre.
The average farm value is 92.6 cents
per bushel against 6S.l cents for the
previous crop, a difference due more
to foreign than domestic scarcity.
The aggregate for oats is TOT, 1885,
600 bushels, grown on 99S,2S2 acres,
and valued at 1896, 424, 240. This is
27S cents per bushel, against 80
cents for the crop of 1887.
A comparison of aggregate values
shows that the present corn crop is
worth $31 900, 900 more than the pre-
vious one; wheat, STA, 100000; oats,
Is 600 less.

What the People DOn't Want
Philadelphia Times.

The people of the Union desire a
judicious protective policy. They
want the labor of our general pro-
ductive industries protected to the
full extent OF the difference between
the wages of foreign and American
workingmen; but they do not want,
and they will not long tolerate, the
prostitution of a beneficent protec-
tive policy for labor to the creation
and protection of exacting monopoly.
And they will be quickened to dis
elimination between the protection
Of labor and the protection OF mo-
nopoly by the ostentatious contribu-
tions to political corruption funds,
which come from those who are
amassing wealth by restrictive tar
if policy that gives only high taxes
and low wages to labor. If it shall
be assumed that the~late national
verdict means immunity to central
lied wealth and the surrender of the
power of the government to the few
who Cypress the many, it will be
only repetition of the madness OF
the slave victors OF 1855, whose
browning triumph, as they then
boosted, was but the opening Of their
sepulchre.

Are we to Have Another War?

Some political prophets aver that
we shall. Be that as it may, the
battle waged by medical science
against disease will never cease I'M
til we arrive at that utopian epoch
when the human family shall cease
to be afflicted with bodily ailments.
One of the most potent weapons
which the armory Of medicine fur
nishes, is Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers, which is of special utility as a
family remedy, as it is adapted to
the immediate relief and ultimate
cure of those disorders of the stom
ach, liver and bowels which are OF
the commonest occurrence. Indi-
gestion, biliousness and constipation
are inseparable companions, and
these ailments are completely eradi-
Gated by the Bltters. But the rene.
dial scope of this superlatiyely whole
some and genial medicine takes in
also nervous ailment, rheumatism
and kidney troubles; its action in
these, as in the other complaints, be-
ing characterized BY unequaled
thoroughness.

NO ORGANIZATION.
The Republican Filibusters Still Refuse
to Organize-ScOtt's Pledge.
Special to the Register.

Special to the Register.
CHARLESTON, w. VA, Jan. 1.-THE
Republican Senators wasted another
day in useless filibustering o-day.7
AS predicted in the Register, they
were unable to agree upon candi-
date for President who stood any
chance of being elected, and so kept
up the hypocritical pretense OF vot-
ing for Minear.
The Senate met at 2:30 p. M, and
after the usual routine business, the
forty sixth ballot for President was
taken. 1t resulted as all previous
ones had except that the scattering
vote was larger. Carr received nine
votes, and Minear seven.
A communication from the House
was then announced, and Hon. W.
E. Lively, Chairman of the Commit
tee appointed for that purpose, adj
dressed the chair, stating that all
the returns of the election, including
the Kanawha county returns, were
in the hands of the Speaker
Senator Oxley asked to introduce
resolution relative to the election
Of President, and after considera-
Bile wrangling it was declared in or
der. The resolution was read by
the Clerk. 1t set forth that there
were seven candidates for President
of the Senate on the Republican side
Of the House, and that the business
of the people was delayed on this ac-
count. 1t was therefore proposed
that the Senate elect seven presidents,
and the Republican caucus should
indicate the seven men and order in
which they serve. The resolution
provoked considerable laughter but
was objected to by Senator Max
we'll
Senator Scott moved to adjourn
until tomorrow at 10 a. m. The
motion was defeated, as were several
other dilatory motions.
Another vote for President was
then taken. Senator Oxley explain
ed his vote, and scathingly arraign-
ed the Republicans for delaying the
work of the Senate and refusing to
form an organization.
Scott replied, stating that he
would give his personal pledge that
he would do all in his power to aid
in electing President tomorrow.
The fourth ballot resulted in no
election, and on motion the Senate
adjourned until tomorrow at 10 am.

GINS.

When we get to using the natural
gas as fuel, we will begin to yearn
for gas as an illumination.
1t is generally agreed that natur-
al gas is not well adapted to light
ing except for the streets. 1t may
be used by the aid of "burner''
constructed for that purpose, but it
is not much more convenient than
oil, where the burner must be en-
ployed.
We will want coal gas for our
houses, and we do not know any
reason why the owners of the coal
mines on the Ridge" should not
erect gas works out there at a point
convenient to all the mines; manu-
facture gas for the town, and pipe it
to us.
Their occupation will be more or
less gone for time by reason of the
substitution of gas for coal as fuel,
and the only thing they can fall back
on, is to furnish light instead of heat
for the town.
They will make more money out
of the gas, if properly managed, than
they have done in selling coal; and
if they can manage to market the
coke that remains after the gas, they
will get one-third more money out of
their coal than they are getting now,
with much less labor.

Special Excursion to Washington via

In order that the residents of this
section may enjoy the opportunity of
visiting Washington, the Pennsylva-
mia Railroad Company will run a
special excursion TO that city on
Thursday, January oath. The Ma
tional Capital is one of the most in
teresting cities in the Union. Il is
esteemed by many the beautiful city
in America, and the fact that it is
the seat of government and the loca
tion of the handsomest public build
ings in the land, makes it interesting
to every citizen.
Both branches of Congress are now
in daily session, and in fact every
branch of the public service may be
seen in the actual work of conduct
ing the government. The public
buildings, embracing the Capitol,
White House, Treasury, State, War,
and Navy Departments, the great
Smithsonian Institution, the Nation
al Museum, are open to the public
every day, and offer a field for inter
est and study that cannot be excel
ed anywhere. The great Washing
ton Monument, the highest memora-
BILE shaft in the world, is in itself
worth trip to see
The rates are unusually low, and
the limitation of the tickets ample
for most pleasurable visit.
Excursion tickets good for ten
days, admitting Of stop-over in
Baltimore within the limit, either GO
ing or returning, will be sold from
Pittsburg at $500, and correspond
ingly low rates from other stations
in Western Pennsylvania. The
tickets will be good for use on any
regular train of the date above nam
ed, except limited express trains;
and in addition to the regular ser
vice special train of parlor cars
and day coaches will leave Pittshurg
at 500 a. m. and run through to
Washington, stopping at principal
stations. The return coupons will
be valid for passage on any regular
train. except the New York and Chi

w hat to DO With Golf.


We think it matter of public
concern that something of a perma-
nent character should be done for or
with General Golf. We say this
more particularly in the interest of
our friends the enemy, for whom we
entertain a high order of generous
and humane feelings. 1t is too ever
lastingly bad that Geff should stand
a perpetual stumbling block in the
way of every Republican Statesman
in Westkan Virginiawha. Whenever
the vision of a good, big, fat, round
office rises above the horizon, i'm
mediately the fair moon like visage
of General Golf appears before it
and throws all other republicans
into the very center of a total eclipse.
And now that grand old Sunday
school morality party is trying to
solve the problem of how to place
Golf into the Governors chair, the
United States Senate and Harrison s
cabinet at one and the same time.
1t would be the height of impiety for
any other Republican to aspire to
the Senatorship until Golf has made
up his mind whether he wants every
thing in sight and means to take it..
The blooming idiocy of the repub-
licans of this State in this regard
presents an unfavorable contrast
with the skillful manner in which
they imported coke ovens and Vir-
ginia negroes to vote at the late
Block Five election. But until Golf
is made
Gas broad and general as the casing air."
other Republicans may content
themselves with being confined in
cribs and log cabins.
To the Democrats, it has become
species of intolerable monotony,
this whacking away at Golf upon all
occasions. 1t begins to look like a
persecution, an attempt to prevent
him, like spoiled child, from riding
all the hobby horses and swinging
on all the gates and sliding down all
the stairways of modern politics.
Something therefore must be done
with Golf: he must be removed-not
as Guiteau removed Presidents-by
no means; but he must be placed on
some mount of glory where the Re
publicans can always behold and
adore him, and from which he will
never descend to modest Democrats
or try to make them afraid.
