WHY PORK is HIGH IN PRICE.

Under this caption the New York Sun
discusses at considerable length the
present condition of the pork market
and the causes which, In Its opinion,
have brought it about. The fact that
only twice in twenty years have hog
products reached present prices indi-
Gates the operation of some unusual
cause. The common theory In the West
is that q short corn crop makes high
priced pork, and obviously there is a
connection between the two. Hogs are
mainly corn in another shape, and the
price of the animated article must de-
pend largely on the supply of the IMAM
innate. 1t is plain. though, that other
things might cause hiRh-priced pork,
as, for example. the general prevalence
of hog cholera, q great dlminution in
he number of breeding animals, or a
general disposition on the part of farm
ers to ngage in some other industry.
The Sun thinks that the present high
price of pork is owing to the fact that
for some years past hog raising has not
kept pace with the increase of popula-
stiSn. In other words, pig~eaters have
increased in lumber far -,ore rapidly
than pigs. But, if this is so. there must
bel Accuse for it, and the Sun thinks it
lies i'll the fact that the production of
corn has not kept pace with the increase
OF population, which is another way of
saying that hogs are corn. The follow
ing table is given. showing at different
periods the relation of acres of corn to
the number of hogs. and how the price
advances or declines as the number to
each 100 people diminishes or increases:

THE FIRST AMERICAN POEM.

The present year has been prolific of
Columbian literature. Lives of Column
bus, sketches of his character and ac-
counts of his voyages and travels have
been published in surprising numbers.
The subject has been done, redone and
almost overdone in prose and verse.
The poets. at least the versifers and
rhymesters. have contributed their full
share. and the great mariner has been
exploited in all forms of poetry from the
brief sonnet to bulky epic. and in every
varying grade of good. bad and indif-
ferent.
Amid this deluge of Columbian poetry
nothing has been written equal to a
Columbian poem first published more
than q hundred years ago. We refer to
the once celebrated but now rare and
almost forgotten poem entitled "The

but. like Tennyson's quarrelsome cou-

Frivolous and short-sighted editors
comment fippantly on this episode
and argue that the display of emo
ton proves that women are unsuited
to public work and to participation in
public meetings.. Their argument is not
good, and shows merely that the writer's

adapted themselves to new conditions.
The lady managers quarreled. to be
sure, but the gentlemen" managers
have done the same time and again
since the fair was under way, else re-
ports are slanderous. The men did not
weep; they swOre openly or under their
breath; theiy raised their voices and
talked rudely; they called each other
names; they Resticulated wildly, and.
unless they behaved very differently
from other men, the more emotional
among them invited each other, by con-
duct, if not by word. to a round of fisti-
cuffs. Moreover, though peace, appar-
emily, conquered, it was but an armed
neutrality. They shed no tears nor did
they kiss each other, and it is not certain
that they love each other in the least.
Because women's methods OF conducting
business are not the masculine methods,
why gibe at them7 If tears are effect
ual in accomplishing a point, n they
seem to be so, why not encourage tears2
Tears may not be parliamentary, possi-
bly, because the men who made parlia-
mentary laws did not know enough to
take them into ccount. The rules of
the future, revised by women. will un-
doubtedly consider them as an i'm
portant element.

This shows that the hog crop keeps
side by side with the corn crop, and it
shows, further, that the corn acreage in
proportion to population is no greater
now than it was in 1870. The Sun argnes
that as the corn-growing area has
reached its maximum there Is not likely
to be any material increase in the corn
crop hereafter, and consequently no
material increase in the hog crop, or at
least that the increase annot keep pace
with the increase ~ofpopulation. 1t says:
BY the middle of the ninth decade the
