The ManufaI turers Record has compiled
from the report of the Agric cultural De-
partment, just issued, statistics showing
the production of corn by states for 1874
which fully confirm the statements that
have been made regard ding the great de-
struc ton OF the corn crop in Nebraska and
several other western states. The yield
of corn in Nebraska for 1894 was only
Il. 600 900 bushels against 15I,vooV00 bushels
for lSDt; South Dakota, 1,o0J,u0O bushels
against e0,50U, 600; Kansas, 41,ooo,OoO bush
els. a falling off of nearly 600 bush
els. while in Iowa the decrease was from
25u, 0Uo,GG bushels to Sl,0od,oo0 bushels.

only 1870 O00, otb bushels against 6ael0,Goo
bushels, showing a decline of i3o00O,0Jo

The Sunday Newspaper.

Apropos of the Sunday newspaper, con-
corning which Mr.. Dana said that there
had been extensive discussion, he supposed
that as long as people will buy these pa
pers they will be made, and he quoted
figures to show that This form of publica-
ton is greatly profitable. But he did not
see anything wrong, either in making or
reading a Sunday newspaper; If so, he
would be ready to denounce it. The Sun
day paper. he said, is picture of the
world as il is, of the good men and OF the
bad men, the virtues and the crimes, ard
as the crimes of half a dozen are more
startling and tend more to arrest atten-
ton than the virtues of thousand good
men, it is to the crimes that a great deal
of attention is necessarily paid The news
papers could not suppress these things
if they would, and if any one paper resu-
larly omitted to give an account of inter-
esting swindes, forgeries or murders the
people would stop reading that paper and
go off and get one where they could find
all the news. Besides continued Mr..
Dana, II have been led to conclude that if
the Divine Providence permits such things
to happen we, who are merely the Witness
eS of it's operation, may certainly stop a
moment and report the fact to each
other.
Mr. Dana came close probably to de-
scription of his own paper when he said:
"a newspaper is naturally the organ CT a
party, political or other. Its editors hold
certain IDEAS certain principles, certain
social, POLITICAL, religious principles and in
discussing the events of the times they will
discuss those principles. Now, ought a
newspaper to stick to its party always?'
He Illustrated his suggestion by presu.ning
the case of an editor, an advocate of free
trade, in the habit of presenting the good
effect of the adoption of that doctrine. He
goes therefore, with the party most favora-
BILE to free trade. But by and by the party
protesting free trade does not do it. Shall
he stand by his party or shall he express
his own sincere, honest sentiment, and say
the party is wrong, and he is against it in
that thing?
The Personnel of IN Office.
Coming to the question Of the personnel
of a newspaper office, Mr.. Dana said that
the young journalist should learn every

OF the 1s5,4S5 yards of pavement laid in
the suburbs, $500 yards only were paid for
by the District, the remaining 9I,lI6 yards
. being charged to property owners.
Thus the county, which pays II per cent
OF the entire revenue of the District, has
less than 10000 yards of pavement, while
sections of the city which pay but little
more than half as much in taxes have
three or four times that number of yards.
And il should be remembered in this con-
necton that the city and county pay the
same rate of taxation, viz, S1.5O on the
hundred dollars, except about one-fourth
the county property, which Is taxed as
agricultural land, at 81 on the hundred
dollars.
In the county outside the city are the
homes OF some $1,000 people, and within
this territory, during the year 1893, were
erected Sl3 houses. at a cost OF 81 ,6S1, S21,

come the property in a day or so of Andrew
Freedman, if present negotiations are car
iried out, as now expected. Mr.. Freedman
became known to the athletic world as the
receiver of the defunct Manhattan Athletic

The deal is hanging fire over a matter
which is likely TO be settled very soon,
and when the negotiations are closed Mr.
Freedman will possess about $ll9,lOO worth
of stock. or 1,l9l shares. This Will give
him a controlling interest in the clubs az
fairs.

The County Disseminated Against.

10 the Editor Of The Evening start
The editorial criticisms in recent issues OF
your valuable paper upon the shortcom-
fngs of the District appropriation bill for
the ensuing year, as passed by the House
Of Representatives, were just and merited,
Is far as they went. but they might have
covered moro ground. The cause of the
public schools, which was so ably cham
pioned in the article in question, Ia one
that Is dear and near to every good citi-
Zen, but there are other interests that have
been entirely ignored by the House, which
are also Of paramount interest to the COM
nnunity at large, as well as to residents OF
certain sections Of the city and District.
No bill ever passed by any Congress was
30 iIHberal toward the suburbs as this one
Is. 1t does not contain dollar for i'm
provements in that large area outside OF
the city limits, extending from the Ana
costa river on the east to 10th street
extended on the west. The Commissioners
estimates for this section, which were not
at all extravaganza, were entirely 1gnored'
and that, too, in the face Of most pressing
public wants in the matter OF street i'm
provements.
IL is about time that this unfair treat
rnant of the suburbs ceased. We have been
Disseminated against long enough. We
want n fair proportion of our taxes ex-
and not diverted to the benefit of other
sections.
That the county does not receive its share
OF improvements Is conclusively shown by
the report of the engineer department CT
