The Big Corn Crop.

The farmers who have planted and
will harvest the abundant corn crop
of the season are not political farm
ers. They are the kind who work
early and late, who plant in season,
cultivate industriously, watch their
crop carefully, and push it to the
point of sound ripeness before the
season of frost. To reward them for
their care and industry, the pros
pective crop of 2,500000,000 bushels
which is nearly twice the crop OF
last year, and 500,000,000 bushels
greater than the crop of any former
year, will be very profitable one at
even the lowest possible prices.
Part of this phenomenal increase
in the corn crop IS doubtless due to
an excellent corn season. More is
due, however, to the fact that the
farmers of the country have learned
the folly of over producing wheat
until 1t has to be sold for less thar
corn prices. They planted more corr
and sowed less wheat this year, with
the result that they will get more
money for the wheat they have tc
sell than last year, and will have al
unprecedented corn crop to sell tt
the extent of the market demand
with an enormous balance to bt
turned into beef and pork.
1t is too early to estimate the valu,
of the new corn crop accurately, bu
at the low rate of % cents a bushe
it will net $625,O00,000, with the
stalks worth from a third to half al
much more as fodder. The chances
are good that the market price will
be enough above rs cents a bushe
to make the crop, fodder and all
worth round thousand million o
dollars. When to this is added tn,
market value of the cotton, whea
and vegetable crops, as well as tn
dairy and meat products, it will b
seen that the total value of the pro
ducts of American agriculture i
something enormous. Corn leads
however, and this year, at least, corr
and not cotton, is king.
The billion dollar corn crop of tn
year furnishes food for several ref1ec
tions. First, it is guarantee tina
food will be plenty. There can b
no famine, for there is more food i
the country than can possibly b
eaten. Next, it emphasizes the ad
vantage Of diversified farming. De
, pendence upon one or two stapl
crops must of necessity result in a
overstocked market and low prices
besides tending to an unnecessar
impoverishment of the soil. Diver
sified farming is more profitable fo
the farmer, better for the farms, anC
best of all, for the great consumin
public. The farmers of the countr
! are to be congratulated on the bi
corn crop this year, and the publ
at large upon the assurance that
is to be year of plenty.-Times.

Caught at Last.

John Dome, Of st, Adams, who
has been badly wanted for long
time because of having been accused
of being connected with divers
green goods transactions in yari-
Gus sections Of the country, is now
safely lodged in the Jail at Hamlin.
On Monday night an effort was
made to get him released, $1,000
bail being offered for his release, but
Judge Harvey refused to let him
from behind the bars 1t is presum
ed that a lucky catch has been made
and it is commendable on the part
of the Judge that he retains the
game. 1t is said that he is accused
of having figured in the green
goods transaction in Putnam, Lin
coin, Cabell and Marion counties.

THREE NIPS
He Takes Three Each Day,
And He's Three Years Past the
Century Mark,
An Old Man Who Remembers Aaron
Burr and Blennerhassett, and He's
still Clipper.

PARKERsBURG, W. VA, Aug "a
A most remarkable old man, one
who was contemporary with the
times Of Aaron Burr and Hartman
Blennerhassett, with the days Of fat
and keel boating, whose first recol-
lections were those of days and years
spent in a blockhouse, or on the
scout for Indian foes, is old Charles
Boso, or "Gncle Charlie as he is
Familiarity known throughout this
section Mr. Bose, who lives on
Pond Creek, eight miles below this
city, with his youngest son, Isaiah,
who himself is 81 years old, is now
in his l03d year. He was born on a
fiathnat near what is now Harris
Ferry, while his parents and a com
pany of settlers were coming down
the Ohio to settle at what is now
called Belleville. His earliest years
were spent in the blockhouse at
Belleyille, and at time when the
settlers were in almost a condition
of daily siege by the red men.
At very early age Mr.. Bose be
came hunter and trapper, under
the tutelage of the noted Indian
scout and hunter, John Coleman,
whose life and adventures among
the Indians are matters of local his
tory. Coleman met his death, as he
always predicted, at the hands of
tue Indians, out his memory and the
stories Of his deeds live in tradition.
Mr.. Boso built the first water mill
ever erected in that section. The old
mill still stands en- the creek, but is
idle and mossgrown from inactivity
He married at an early age, as WAS
customary in those days, and lived
/ happily with his wife half century,
when his helpmest was taken away
by death. Nine children were born
to the union. six Of whom are living
to day, the youngest being 81 years
old
Among Nj Boso's earliest and
most impressive reeallections are
Aaron Burr and Hartman Blenner-
hassett, whose tragic history, to-
gether with the looting and burning
Of Blennerhassetts beautiful and
magnificent house on the island of
that name, are incidents of but as
yesterday. As Il business man Boso
first became a hat or keel boat man.
and among his contemporaries were
many Of the indumilable spirits
who made the Ohio Valley safe from
the eneroaehments and attacks of
the renegades and Indians.
He recollects the FIRST steamboat
which piled on the Ohio, and tells
Of the hatred and bitterness felt by
the hatboatmen toward the iupnYa-
tion, which they early saw would
soon put an end to their business
He says that he never smoked u
pipe, but has been a constant chew
er Of tobacco since a boy He has
been a moderate drinker ever since
he was a child, and takes his "three
nips" to day with the regularity of
clock work, but says he never was
intoxicated in his life. The whisky
made nowadays, he says, is impure,
and not fit to drink.
Politically Mr.. Bose is rock
ribbed, Old Hickory Democrat He
voted for Jackson, and has never
voted for Wing, Republican or any
other party than the Democratic,
and expresses the hope that he may
live to vote another straight out"
Democratic ticket before he is called
to pass over the river"

II there is any man in the Repub-
lican party who hates Grover CleYe.
land, or one who would refuse him a
just criticism, 1t is Hon. William E.
Chandler. Senator from New Hamp-
shire. Yet, in the Granite Monthly
for August, he pays the President q
tribute more hattering than any he
has received in a long while He
says
"In view of MIR. Cleveland's phe-
nomenal political successes, it is i'm
possible not to attribute to him in
tellectual greatness. During his first
term as President his message of De
cember, 1887, demanding tariff re
duction, undoubtedly caused his own
and his party's defeat in the canvass
of 1888 Yet he retained his polit
ical supremacy during four years il
private life, was renominated in 1899
and again entered the Presidential
office, renewed his demand for tariff
legislation, and secured the passage
of the dubious act of August, 1894
n Whatever else may be
said of him, he will never be calleG
weak. Whether dealing with the
tariff, with financial problems, witt
foreign relations, or with appoint
ments to office, he has always form
ed and expressed his own opinions
and enforced his views and decisions
in the conduct of the executiv,
branch of the government. Indus
trious, self-confident, persistent an(
courageous, whatever judgment his
tory may pass upon the principa
acts of the eight years of his iroi
rule, he will certainly stand as tn,
President of greater power of vii
than any of his predecessors, excep
one"

SPRINGFIELD, O., August 2l.-At 3
o'clock this afternoon Senator Calvin
S. Briee, who has been on the anx
ious seat for month, was all smiles,
and he left town to night for New
York city as happy as boy with
his first pair of long pants. The
Democratic state convention proved
to be his by majority Of over 200
delegates out Of total of sos, and
his wishes were carried out in every
detail. Hence his pardonable joy,
as everything was settled at the hour
named and an adjournment effected.
Brice's strength in the convention is
best shown in the vote taken on the
motion to adopt the minority report
Of the committee on resolutions. 1t
was 270 anti Briee to 525 Brice.
Then came the adoption of the ma
jority report, which reafflrmed the
platform of 1892 on the money ques-
ton
Another cause for rejoicing on the
part of Brice was the really enthnsias
tic nomination by reclamation of ex
Governor j. L Campbell for COVER
nor. MI Campbell did not consent
to become a candidate until this
morning, and then only because Briee
is to pay his campaign expenses
Campbel's principal objection right
along was that his poverty was in
the way. The Brice people reasoned
that they had little hope of success
unless Campbell was nominated, as
he, and he alone, could get the Dem
oeratic vote, inasmueh as he has not
been, and is not now, mixed up in
any Of the factional disputes of the
party in the state on the money
question

Sound Money.

Nath aniel French, president OK the
Democratic State convention Of Iowa,
gave utterance to the following sound
logic on the money question
Our national platform calls for the
joint use of gold and silver, as mon
ey. "but the dollar unit Of coinage of
both metals must be of equal intrin-
sic and excbangeable value, or adj
justed through international agree
ment," or maintained at a parity by
the Safeguards Of legislation. " 1t
means bimetallism 1t does not
mean gold mono metallism.
If we want to know how many
ounces Of silver an ounce of gold is
worth, we must 90 to the bullion
markets instead Of the Revised Stat
utes. Thomas jefferson could not
have won undying fame as a states
man and lender Of the common peo-
pie if he had not been endowed with
an abundance of common sense, and
over hundred years ago, when Con.
gress sought his advice as to the
ratio to adopt for the coinage of gold
and silver, he said: Disregard le-
gal proportion altogether; inquire
into the market price"
To so coin gold and silver that
both shall circulate together by rea-
son of parity of value, we must fol
low Jeferson's advice and inquire
the price of gold and silver in the
markets of the world If we find
one ounce Of gold will buy 80 ounces
of silver, that is the ratio to adopt.
To put in the silver dollar more than
80 grains of silver for each grain OF
gold in the gold dollar, would at
once drive out silver money from
circulation, and to put in less would
Danish our gold.
Woe to the country which dare
endanger the prosperity Of its people
by debasing its money which dare
degrade itself from its high rank
among nations to the level Of Mex.
leo or Chinal Woe to the nation
which takes from the creditor halt
his due, from the laborer half his
wages, from the old soldier half his
pension. If that calamity is to be
visited upon this country, let it be
done by the party whose clubs, in
convention at Cleveland, passed over
the money question in cowardly 81
lenee; by that party which passed
the infamous Sherman law to buy
the votes of silver mine owners for
the no less Infamous Mckinley law.

Is the circus doomed to die a nat
ural death2 Are the white tented
cities of the spangled Nomads, the
sawdust rings and red lemonade to
be remembered as relics of the happy
past? That is the fear expressed by
George F. Bailey, the veteran mana
ger, few days ago. Father Time
has seen all the famous Snowman
pass on into the great beyond. Bar
mum was the first to 60. Uncle John
Robinson and Adam Forepaugh fol
lowed. For the first time since the
'40's the Robinson show is off the
road The trouble is that the circus
grew too unwieldy. 1t took a mint
to carry one along with its army OF
performers. To properly enjoy a
latter day circus, with it's three rings,
one needed several pairs of eyes
Perhaps out of the present slump
will come a revival of the old-time
circus, with a single ring and CON
stellation of stars.
