OUR CORN DROP.

At the present time the agrcuil-
tural department has an agent in
Europe, "Cornmeal Murphy" en-
deavoring to introduce American
corn. At present he Is at st.
Petersburg and a few days since
was interviewed by an American
newspaper correspondent. After
talking a few moments the colonel
put the question TO the scribe;
"Young man, do you know any.
thing about Indian corn7" With.
out waiting Tor an answer, the
gentleman went on:
"Whateyer you know, l can
probably tell you something more.
Our foreign crop is the biggest
grain crop OF the world, end we
turn out something like 1000. .000.-
600 bushels Of corn every year,
and we have six states which pro-
duce over 900, 900, 600, bushels

crop upon wagons, putting the
noses OF the horses heads to the
tailboards of the wagons in front
OF them, the line of wagons would
reach away in a straight line for
more than 10000 miles If il
could cross the oceans, is would
60 six times around the earth and
have nearly 5000 miles of wagons
yet to.spare. A single years crop
Of American corn would make a
road of wagons forty.four abreast
from New York to San Francisco,
and il this amount we're loaded in
500. .bushel lots in freight cars the
train would reach from the West
to New York, across the Atlantic
Ocean, across Europe and nearly
to the Pacific shores of Asia before
the last ca. was on the track.
These cars would form four contin-
uous freight trains from New
York to San Francisco and they
would block up all the trunk lines
of the country. And the most of
this corn comes from only six
states, though corn can be raised in
nearly every State of the Union.
Out Df every 1000 acres of arabic
land in the country only forty-one
are devoted to corn, and if the
price is raised by this European
demand we will have millions
upon millions of acres of new corn
fields. Suppose we increase our
area only one-tenth, this will add
$50, 5000 to our corn receipts,
and the money received from corn
now by us is enormous. We get
more out Of our corn fields every
year than out of our gold, silver
and lead mines. Our corn re-
ceipts are greater than all the divi.
dends Of our railroad stocks, and
they are more than all the divi-
dends of our national banks. As
it is now, if we can get an increase
of &c a bushel on corn we will add
500, 900, 900 to our receipts this
year, and if you could divide this
increase up among the families OF
the United States it would give
more than So to each family. Our
corn crop in 1889 was worth more
than 500, 900, 900, and l expect il
to run into the billions when these
people here are eating corn
bread"

THE LAND OF SUNSHINE.

As an anomalous southern re-
sort, by reason of the fact that
that there one may escape sum-
mer heat no less than winter cold,
New Mexico is rapidly becoming
famous. Averaging throughout
the entire territory 5000 feet in
altitude above the sea level, and
characterized by dry air which,
unlike a humid atmosphere, is in
capable of communicating heat,
the temperature in midsummer
remains at a delightfully."- com
Portable degree through the day,
and at night becomes invariably
brisk and bracing. The sunshine
is almost constant, yet the most
violent out-of-door exertion may
be undertaken without fear
OF distressful consequences. Sun
strokes or prostration are abso-
lutely unknown there. II is an
ideal land for a summer outing.
It's climate is prescribed by repu-
table physicians as a specific for
pulmonary complaints and the
medicinal hot Springs at Las
Vegas are noted for their curative
virtues. The most sumptuous
hotel in the west, the Montezuma,
is located al these springs. Write

The new permit law continues
to be the leading topic of discus
sion. Like almost everything else
it has its advocates and opponents.
One Of the strong points being
urged against it now is that
it makes no provision for orphans
and minors. Under the constitu-
tion the land is common property
and the young child has as great
an interest in it as the adult.
Many parents have felt it a duty
as well as privilege to make
places for their children and have
done so with no view whatever of
monopolizing land. But under
the amended law the children are
not allowed the same rights as
adults.

The annual pension expendi-
ture a dozen years ago was in the
nelghborhood of $50, 100000. Fiji
teen years ago nobody ever dream
ed that it would go above that fig
ure. Last year, however, $780,
600, 900 was expended for pensions.
The appropriation for the year
which ends on June 30 next is
s145, 100000, and Commits sioner
Raum says that this is at least
s10,000,000 too small for the de-
mands. For the year which ends
with June, 1894, as he estimates,
s165, 100000 will be necessary.
An expenditure of $500, 100000 a
year for this object is in sight.
This pension business has been
carried entirely too far. a halt
must be called at once.-Globe-

ACTION PROBABLE.

From present indications it looks
as though the Strip agreement
would be ratified in its entirety,
before the adjournment Of the con-
gress that is now in session.
Should this be done its effects will
be more reaching, and its results
Of far greater moment to us than
is generally conceded. In the first
place, its ratification means the
removal Of that very numerous
and troublesome class here known
as intruders-those who cannot
establish the fact To the satisfac-
tion of the Cherokee nation that
they are entitled to citizenship in
this nation. Getting rid of seven
thousand of this class of people by
their removal from the country at
one time would be an epoch in our
history as a people. The citizen.
ship association believes they are
reaching a crisis and so state il in
their resolutions passed last week
at Wagner. The ratification Of
this agreement also involves the
payment OF over eight million dol
lars TO the citizens of this nation.
This, without doubt, will be the
last big payment that will ever be
made to the Cherokees, and the
manner in which this money is to
be used is already being discussed
extensively by both the public and
the press Of the country.

HOME INDUSTRIES.

These are times when progressive citi-
zens aud mea of wealth should DO some
vigorous thinking and should oct as well.
"What is to become of ali these peoplei
Where will they find worka" were ques-
tions propounded by leading employer of
the city day or two ago.
Within the borders of this territory there
are to-day fully quarter OF a million peo-
pie. How they are to live is the matter to
which our economists should turn their
thoughts. It cannot be told Just what
proportion Of the community are engaged
in productive operations, as mining and
agriculture, but we apprehend that if the
figures were shown the percentage would
be small indeed. The farmers are all right.
Their living is secure so far as food is con-
| cerued, The miners are all right, for they
can buy what they require. But how about
the others-the great majority, comprising
the mechanics and the lsborers or those
who might be lsborers if there were some
thing for them to 90? The agriculturists
and the few hundreds of men who dig
for mineral cannot support this great
community. The multitude cannot saddle
itself upon the producing classes, and in
sist upon being taken care of in idleness.
Two or three years ago there was such an
influx of capital from the outside that the
miners were provided for in the matter OF
employment. But that stream no longe,
flows with the volume which once charsc.
terized it. That resource has been largely
cut of, and provision must be made fol
supplying its place. In short, Utah musi
do something TO provide her people with
labor outside the two fields of mining and
agriculture. There must be employment
for those who cannot mine and cannot
work on the farms, or distress will follow
and instead of the population increasing il
will decrease.
It has always been claimed that Utah
was rich in material resources, literally

LET HER Col

Two Of Wyoming's female citizens are
candidates for the delegateship to the Min
neapolis convention. They both propose
that one or the other shall be chosen, or
not only they, but all the women of Wyo-
ming shall know the reason why. A con-
temporary who claims to be acquainted
with the ladies, says they are very bright,
that they understand politics thoroughly,
that they are ''far ahead of the average
male citizen" in intelligence, and that they
are good Republicans" Just how they
can be bright and Intelligent" and Re-
publicans at the same time, is not under
stood this lar west; however, if our Wyo-
ming friends are content, nobody else
should find fault
But if one of these women wants to go to
Minneapolis as delegate, and participate
in the nomination of man to be turned
down next November, we cannot see how
the people over there caa refuse their as
sent. Indeed, the situation would
seem to demand that she be
sent. The claim is different from
one which might be presented by
CADT STANTON, SUSAN ANTHONY, Mrs.
LIYERMoRE or any OF the suftTagists out
side of Wyoming. In Wyoming women
vote. They are citizens in the fullest sense
of the term, with all the political rights
and privileges enjoyed by the bifurcated
creature called man. In November the
Wyoming women will express their prefer
ences as between the Presidential nomi-
nees, and do it at the same polls and in the
| L
and their votes will be counted.
Whatever one may think of woman suf-
frage, and whatever ones opinion may be
as TO the propriety of woman going into
crowd Of bowling politicians, where she
will be expected to throw up her hat and
mounting a chair when her faYorite has
been nominated, yell herself hoarse, one
must conclude that the Wyoming women
have the right to demand recognition in
the delegation.
