Advance of Corn PRICES.

A most remarkable event in the his
tory of industrials occurred this week
when the price of corn suddenly rose
above the price Of wheat on the New
York market. The action of corn
caused panic in Chicago speculative
circles and fortunes were made and
lost in the pit in few hours. An ex-
change remarks that the significance
of this event becomes more striking,
and its economic meaning palmer,
when it is recalled that throughout our
entire industrial history, until the re-
cent vast extension of wheat culture,
the price Of wheat averaged double that
of corn. Moreover, while wheat sells
now for barely half the price 1t reached
as recently as 1891, corn is ruling well
above the level Of such years as 1878
and 1879, when the paper imitation
premium on prices for the first time
vanished. Nor is this difference due
alone to possible damage to this sea-
sons crop; for at least oCO,OOO,OOO bush
els could be deducted from the govern
ment's latest estimate, and still leave o
yield Of corn as large as that of 1878.
1t scarcely needs demonstration to

Will Campbell Sneak 4?

That post Office robbery may lead to
interesting complications. The Times
charges that the combination of the
safe in which the stamps were kept
was known to every person employed
about the position, even including the
charwoman. Postmaster Vandllng,
backed by Inspector Owing, has made
demand on Proprietor Campbell of
the Times to name one person aside
from the postmaster and his assistant
who knew the talisman that would
cause the iron doors of the safe to swing
open.
If Mr.. Campbell refuses, and he SAYS
he will, the postoffice department at
Washington will be appealed to, and
if warrant can be found in law a
rigorous effort made to compel the
proprietor Of the Times to give freely
Of the information he is believed to
have at his command.
But dismissing this side issue it
would appear that if Inspector Owing
possesses anything like the analyti tical
mind and keen perception Of his proto-
type, Sherlock Holmes he should
have no very great difficulty in un-
raveling what at first glance seems q
most mysterious crime.

National Guardsmen,

Our citizen soldiers have been active
during the past few days making pre-
parations for the annual encampment
of the national guard, which will be
held ut the historic battle ground of
Gettysburg next week. Advance de-
tails are already enroute for the famous
battle ground and upon Saturday the
reveille will arouse fifteen regiments
of the best equipped, best drilled and
bravest militiamen in the country.
According to Adjutant General Green
lands latestreport, there will be drawn
up for week of army life in the field
the First brigade, with 2,754 men; the
Second brigade, with 3,l70 men, and
the Third brigade, with 2,644 men.
Pennsylvania has reason to be proud
of the fact that when it was thought
that militia might be necessary to
quell the riots at Chicago the members
OF the national guard Of this state
were the soldiers selected upon account
of their excellent discipline and re-
markable efficiency. As Captain
Rodgers remarked in his report to the
war department, the members of the
Pennsylvania national guard "are no
longer regarded as play soldiers by
anyone, but as well-organized, we'll
instructed and well-disciplined body
of volunteer soldiers, who can be de-
pended upon to carry out the orders
given them to preserve the peace"
The annual encampments whether
brigade or regimental, are looked for
ward to with pleasurable anticipations
by members Of the guard who take in
terest in soldier life, and the outings
are source of great enjoyment, giving
as they do glimpses of actual service
in camp existence and opportunities
for greater perfection in battalion and
other drills. The brave boys of the
Thirteenth who will leave for Gettys.
burg tomorrow evening are to be con-
graduated upon their high standing in
the National Guard of Pennsylvania,
and THE TRIBUNE joins with their
hosts of friends in this section of the
state in the hope that the Gettysburg
gathering will be among the most ell.
joyable of encampments.

Who Receives Benefit?

An exchange remarks that Ameri-
can wool was selling at 60 cents per
pound when Benjamin Harrison went
out of Office. Now, under the agita-
tion for free wool by the Democrats,
the same can be purchased for 80 cents.
The sheep raiser probably knows this
and is making plans to 90 out of busi-
ness, after losing more that so per cent.
of his investment, but there is not n
sign of benefit in the reduction to be
seen by anybody--consumer or dealer.
1t would be quite an able argument on
the tariff whiting side of the house if
some good follower of the Cleveland
banner could give an illustration of
marked reduction in woOlen goods to
the consumer, or demonstrate where
the benefit comes in. In this particular
instance the article In question fails to
"adjust" itself in accordance with the
ideas of the enthusiastic tariff reformer.

There is an observing librarian In New
York who thinks he can tell the season Of

record. Hs said to a World writer the

the fiction read IN summer ID al
most altogether OF the light sort,
Standard authors and serious wrters of
modern fiction arc rarely called for. In
the fall the, standard authors and essays
and religion have graat run. The rea-
son? 1t ia simple enough, After reading
light stuff all summer, when people come
back to town, the copsciences jump up
an d tell them that they are getting alto
gether too shallow and tlippant, and they
go in for something serious. Then, too
naturally ono can appreciate Thsckergy

they seem to feel that they have atoned

make clear that If silver demonetiza-
ton had broken the price of wheat,
the present advance In corn, even with
the undoubted speculative exaggera-
tions, would have been wholly impos-
sible.
Decline in wheat Is undoubtedly due
to extensive cultivation during the
past few years and the failure to
work OFF the surplus in European
markets. Many of the European buy
ers who few years ago drew largely
upon the United States for food sup
plies now secure wheat from Brazil
and other South American territories
that are gradually entering into COM
petition with this country.
Since the decline in wheat q year
ago many hopeful speCulators, especi-
ally in the margin fields have ventured
frequently into wheat chances, positive
that the present prices could not long
prevail. Shareholders have INDUCED
in many vain dreams Of luxuries that
would follow the lucky morning that
has never dawned-when wheat would
suddenly leap to its old figure of one
dollar per bushel. This recent eXhibi-
ton of market vagares in the unex-
pected fluctuation of prices of corn
ought for time to dispel the hopeless
dreams of wheat spectators, having
so fully demonstrated that wheat can
never under existing circumstances re-
gain its former status on solid basis.

Postmaster Vandling announces that
the department at Washington has al
lowed five additional mail carriers for
this city. The increased force will en-
able Mr.. Vandliug to redistrict the city
and have mail delivered by the carriers
at more frequent intervals during the
day.
There have been some complaints
heard in the past because of an INSULT
cient number Of deliveries in certain
parts of the city, but when the work Of
redistricting the city is completed and
the new carriers are at work, it is be-
lieved that Scranton will have a mail
service commensurate with its COM
mercial importance.
A force Of thirty-two men is none
too large TO give an adequate mail de-
livery to all sections of this widely
scattered city, but with such force at
his disposal Mr., Vandling believes he
will be able to give entire satisfaction.

THE SLING GLENNAN AFFAIR
There were further developments in the
Slling-Glennan case yesterday which
indicate that Mrs. Glennan is seeking 10
cover up some of the most damaging
evidence that exists against her in tie
pending suit for divorce. Detective
McDevitt, in his search for evidence,
has discovered the fact that Silling and
Mrs. Glennan registered at the White
Cottage, Harper's Ferry, several weeks
ago as A. 5. Glenning and family. 1t is
said that the hotel register at that time
contained this signature in full, and that
opposite the name was the figure 4,
indicating that that number of persons
composed the family. Mrs. Glennan,
it is alleged, had been seen in Harper's
Ferry on Thursday, and that the hotel
register, when examined yesterday,
showed signs of having been tempered
with. The figure has, it is charged,
been obliterated by blot of ink about
the size of a Scent piece. and at the
bottom of the page, in fresh writing
very much resembling that of Mrs.
Glennan, there appears the name of A.
l.. Silling. Arthur Silling has not been
seen since ne paid his board bill at the
Twelfth street boarding house, stating
that he was going to leave Washing
