Few people if asked to name the
leading crop in the United States
would be able to answer correctly
even after lengthy cogitation. One
would say wheat, another Ecorn and
third cotton. As a matter Of fact,
however, hay leads in point Of mon
ey value, over $4,000, 900 acres be-
ing devoted to its production, and
the annual crop amount to nearly
100000 tons and the value is
placed at S40S, 499,505. This is far
in excess Of the value Of any other
crop. The heavy shortage in Eu-
rope this year will lead to brisk
export demand, and the gen eral
adoption of cable and electric pow,
ers for street railways has much to
with the increase in the surplus to
be spared to meet it. Fortunately
the hay crop has been very large
this season, so that farmers will reap
good income from its sale and ex-
port.-Ex.

Circumstances, aided by the toad
les who constantly surrounded him,
have this week greatly aggravated
the big head with which Mr..
Cleveland has for long time been
afflicted. He thinks that it was
him self alone who caused the sud
den collapse of the opposition to un-
conditional repeal in the Senate,
and he is in consequence disposed
to be more autocratic than ever.
The sudden change in the tactics Of
the Senators opposed to the Voor-
hees bill, while seemingly almost a
miracle, is in reality easily account
for on common sense grounds. 1t
must be remembered to start with
that no Senator has been at any
time opposed to the repeal of the
purchasing clause OF the silver law.
1t was the unconditional repeal Of
that clause that the silver Senators
opposed, because they thought they
could thereby secure a compromise
in the shape OF an amendment tina,
would provide in some way for the
continued coinage of silver money.
After Senator Sherman served
notice on the Democrats in his great
speech that the Republican Sena-
tors who were committed to uncon.
ditional repeal would not aid the
Democrats IN arriving at any COM
promise the Democrats tried to
patch up a compromise among them
selves, but Mr.. Cleveland succeeded
in preventing it. 1t being then
plain that no compromised could be
reached there was no longer any
reason Tor prolonging the fight,
hence the present situation.

honor Of preserving the credit Of the
nation:should be given by the PEG,
pie to the Republicans. They wish
to pass the bill hout.amendment,
and, in the usual Democratic style,
to allow the question Of preserving
our nation drift along as long as
possible. The government is already,
taking Secretary Carlisle's own fig
ures, practically carrying floating
debt Of SIS, 100000 a month. This
is an injustice to the creditors of the
government that is absolutely inde-
feasible from an honorable business
point of view.

REPORT says little opposition will
come from any quarter to an imme-
diate adjournment of Congress as
soon as the silver question shall
have been disposed of. There is a
general disposition on the part of
Senator's and Representatives to go
home and talk it all over with their
constituents before the beginning Of
the regular session. And it is more
than probable that some of them
will hear some unpleasant things
shen they get back home.

THERE are proposed amendments
to the Voorhees, bill that may make
trouble before they are disposed Of,
and every one Of them will have to
be voted on before the vote upon the
original bill can be taken. Should
the Voorhees, bill get through the
Senate all right, according to the
present indications it will then have
some trouble in the House. But
the trouble in the House will be
principally that Of securing quo
rum Of repealers, the silver men
having served notice that they will
not help make it. An attempt il
now being made to &c: the numer
GUS absentees in their seats this
week. Should it succeed the bill
can be put through the House ir
short order, owing to the existence

10 all appearances at this writing
the passage of the Voorhees, bill by
the Senate is only a question of a
few days, although there is still
possibility that another deadlock
may be brought about before the
final vote is taken. There are sew
eral things which may bring about
another deadlock, chief of which is
the belief on the part of many of the
Senators that the Voorhees, bill
should be amended so as to provide
for the issue of bonds; not only for
the purpose of strengthening of the
gold reserve, but to provide the
money to pay the current expenses
OF the government, the policy, or
lack of policy, of the Democratic
administration and Congress having
resulted in reducing the receipts of
the government from all sources to
an extent which is alarming. Sena-
tor Sherman has informed the Dem
ocrats that the Republicans consider
such an amendment to the bill nee
essary. The Democratic leaders are
in quandary. They know that it
will have to come to an issue of
bonds sooner or later, but because
of the almost solid opposition of the
Southern Senators they fear to pro-
pose sue an amendment themselves

DEFENDING The VETERANS.


Every friend Of the Union soldier,
every citizen who appreciates that
heritage for which our veterans
fought and which their valor pre-
served from destruction, will cor
daily indorse the report Of the
National Committee on Pensions at
the indianapolis Encampment. The
report fttingly opens with quota
ton from President Lincoln's Sec
ond inaugural address, at the time
the Confederacy was in the final
throes, when he described the peo-
pies duty "to bind up the nations
wounds, to care for him who shall
have borne the battle and for his
widow and orphan" The "bearers
of the battle" at the close of the
war, it is pointed out, were mostly
men in their prime, who cared little
for material aid from the country,
except where loss of life or limb or
impaired constitution was then visi-
BILE. As years passed on these men
became old. Time and effect of SUI
fering and exposure began to tell on
the survivors, and many were in
want or in the poorhouses. Under
these circumstances the pension
laws Of 1890 were enacted-laws
which an administration composed
chiefly of sympathizers with the
Confederate cause has done its best
to nulify.
The resolutions denying the i'm
putations cast upon the veterans OF
the war by Hoke Smith and his as
sociates, and demanding justice for
the soldier, will have an echo in the
heart of every loyal citizen. The
people Of the North are heart and
hand with the men who defeated Sc.
cession. Hoke Smiths libels on
the Union soldiers are libels on the
states which sent those soldiers tc
the front, and on the communities
where the regiments were raised
and which take a pride in thu
achievements, the sacrifices and thu
giories Of their defenders.
The Union soldier asks nothing
more than justice. He expects TIN
nation to dc nothing more than keel
its promises. made when he enlisted
that it would never forsake thos,
who came to its assistance and res
cue in time of danger. And thos
promises will be kept, whatever an
noyance and vexation may be tenn
porarily caused by the ex-Confeder
ate regime at Washington. Tn
nation will stand by the nation
defenders and will yet repudiate tn
men and measures responsible 70

abodes of thousands of aged and di'
sbled her oes, who risked their live

herself would have said, with the
ever-recurring shock it never failed
to bring with it. She thought of
how seldom again should she do
these dear and familiar household
tasks under the old brown roof that
had been so long her happy home.
Soon strange hands would be busy
in the low rooms she had known
and loved so well, and unfamiliar
steps would sound upon the wooden
floors where the FOOTBALLS had echoed
that were like the sweetest Of music
to her listening ears. Next week it
would be all gone-the threshold she
had crossed a radiant bride, the old
cradle where she had rocked her
babies to sleep, the very grave
yard on the little hill, where rested
those she had loved most on earth.
The slow tears splashed upon her
purple calico apron, and her chest
heaved with stifled sobs.

DRAFT FOR $500 MISSING.
Mrs. DR.. McNabb's Strange Dream and Its
Realization Police Called In.

At 7o'clock last night a wlldly-excited
young man appeared at the police station
and invoked the aid of the police to help
find New York draft for $500. He said his
name was McNsbb. and that he was a son
of DR.. McNabb. residing at No. l Fort
Wayne avenue. He said that yesterday
afternoon his mother had received from a
man named Fisher q New York draft for
500, which he intended sending to sister
In New York in payment of debt. Mrs.
McNabb put the draft in drawer
of her husbands desk. and short time
thereafter laid down upon q sofa and in
duIged In a short nap. During her sleep
she dreamed that the draft was gone and
was SO impressed by the vision that che
went 10 the desk To get the draft When
she opened the drawer in W bich she had q
short time before placed It. it was not
there. She at once became greatly ex-
cited and searched in every conceivable
place for the missing paper. As soon as
her son came home she hurried him TO the
police station To report the loss. She could
not remember on what bank or by what
bank the draft was drawn. The police
were of the opinion that il had simply been
misplaced.
