THE SISTERS CONDEMN IT.

There are times when ladies say to-
bacco smoke is not offensive to them
in fact; they rather like it. TAis, how
ever. is not when they gather by them
selves. At the session of the woman's
board of missions in one of the
denominations held in Missouri this
week there was ret-hot time over the
question whether any appropriations
for the coming year should be made for
the missionaries who use tobacco. The
queer part of the matter is that this
board has on its list only female mis-
SiOnarieS, and an indignant sister want
ed to know if it meant to be inSinuated
that any OF them are addicted to the
weed. Another would have snuff and
chewing gum included. The discus
sion waxed So WARM that if any of the
participants had been addicted TO the
weed there Wouit have been offensive
suggestion. But the majority voted that
no money should 90 to the tobacco mis-
sienarieS. 1t would be Interesting to
know the practical effect of this policy.

The GLOBE does not think that Con-
gresham HALL will find any difficulty
in satisfying his constituents that his
vote against the river and harbOr bill
was wise, honest and patriotic. Ii his
constituents understand the nature Of
that measure, they will be proud of his
course without the help of explanations
from him. Under the guise Of apprO-
priating public moneys for internal im-
provements. there has grown up IN con
greSs most shameful system of waste
and prodigatity to which it is high time
to call a halt. The primary object
sought for by promoters Of these
schemes is to get a slice of the gen.
eral revenue for expenditure in
their own districts. Some of the
works provided for are valuable
and important, but the authorize
ton of these is secured only by conees-
sions to the friends of impossible and
useless projects. Congress, without re-
gard to party, resolves itself annually
into a marauding body. in which each
member overloo&s the misdoingS OF his
colleagues, on condition that his own
peculiar device for booty is not inter
fered with. So enormous and resistiess
have these raids become that nearly
S59,000.6 have been set apart. at the

THE EFFECr- on CROPS.

Even if the atmospheric elements
should now let up for a time in their
extravaganza efforts to soak the earth
and avert any premature growth of
crops, there must be a very consider
able effect upon the aggregate produc-
ton of breadstuffS. The unfavorable
weather has extended to all the prinei-
pal grain producing districts of the
world. The opinion is expressed, and
seems warranted, that the wheat and
corn production of the United States
this year viii not exceed ene-hatf that
of 1891. That may be low estimate
for this state and those Immediately
west, but the Des Moines Register, with
its eyes specially on the fields of
Iowa, says the prospect for crops is the
poorest for third of a century. Fore
bodings in the midst of storms and mud
are likely to be largely diSsipated when
the sun gets in full work. But it is Ger
tain that the acreage of wheat and corn
will be cut down by large per cent.
This is especially the fact in the dis
tricts of the Northwest that had the
largest crops last year. The latest Of
fetal reports put the prospects below
the average of a good crop in all the
states. The portion of the last crop
on hand is not large, except in lin
tied regions. The corn cribs are
about empty. Those who have held
their crop for better prices and seen
them going lower and lower may yet
have the laugh on their side. The grea t
markets have been low because the
products have been pushed forward in
excess of daily demands. 1t seems now
inevitable that prices shall advance
sharply in the next few months. But
there were those who thought that way
last year. They knew it was policy to
hold the wheat. Those who have wheat
or corn still Oh hand will not, however,
be in any haste to part with it. They
will act upon their own conclusions.

WHY THEY LIKE 1T.

About the only visible evidence that
there Is any discountenance in South
Dakota of the growing divorce indus
try is in the constitutional amendment
proposed by Senator KYLE. That IS in
the direction of uniformity in the d.
vorce laws. or rather congressional &C.
ton in the matter. The senator has not
exhibited auy special sOlicitude as to
the fate of his measure, and 1t is not
quite certain that he had much other
purpose in view than to advertise the
peculiar advantages of his state to those
in quest of divorces. Some of the
Eastern papers, among them the
New York Post, that have a tender
solicitude for Western interests and are
especially strong on the ethical lines.
are unhappy at the quietude and resig-
natiou of the religious and moral ele-
ments in the state over the development
OF the divorce industry. 1t is noted that
at the two or three larger towns where
1t chiefly centers, such as Sioux Falls
and Deadwood. the local sentiment in
dictates no rirtuouS frowB, but sayors of
enthusiasm for the promotion of the
business. They are charged with smiL
ing at the criticisms of the moralists in
other parts of the country, and forget
ting that their cOnSeiences ought to have
some relation sto the subject. 1t is
