Isn't q Granger.

The Pittsburg Chronicle Tele
graphs base ball correspondent in a
column article on base ball sent in
from Chicago has the following
about "our own" Jakey Hewitt:
"Jakey Hewitt isn't a granger by
any means, even if he was raised wav
down upon the farm. When Jakey
got on the train the other night the
boys began to talk about billiard
games on the cars, etc. Jakey didn't
get interested 1t was then suggest
ed that the net alongside the window
was to rest his arm on all night.
Still the Vaudeville, w. Va, boy
didn't get interested. The iokers
gave up this line of practice and re
sorted to other methods. Hewitt
made the gang laugh when fish sto-
ries were started. He told of "a man
living about two miles from Maids
vile who caught such big fish that
when it was taken out of the water
the stream fell two feet. did you
ever see one of those ponds where
there we're more fish than water?'
inquired Donovan. YES" said
Jakey. THE extra ones sit on the
fence" Hewitt may say "goldarned
and to hum" but he is learning rap
idly and isn't tenderfoot by any
means. Mack says he is sure to put
the young man against the Chica-
goes, and Jakey declares that he is
ready any time. Hewitt once played
snare drum in a Vaudeville band
and Jake Reckley asked him if "the
band played or"

with the assurance Of industrial

all, with an oyermastering indisposi-

Third Term TwaddIe.

In some quarters there is much
concern for fear Mr.. Cleveland will
be candidate for third term. His
enemies are intent upon making it
appear that he is a candidate In
regard to this third term spook, Mr..
O'Brien Moore, the Washington cor
respondent of the St. Louis "Repub-
lic," makes several interesting but
not surprising statements, and he
usually knows what he is talking
about. He writes over his own sig
nature:
1t might as well be understood now
as later on that Mr.. Cleveland has
no idea whatsoever of running for
third term. / have the authority of
a member of the cabinet, whose rela-
tions with the President are very
close, that Mr. Cleveland is irrevo-
cably opposed to third term, not
only for himself, but for anybody
else. Mr.. Cleveland has had enough
of the presidency He is familiar
with the prejudice of the people
against third term. The risk of
being defeated at the polls on the
third term issue in the event of his
being nominated would be very great
1t would be hnmiliating ending to
the great public career of Mr.. Cleve-
land. He has taken all this into
consideration. He is convinced that
if he desired a third term ever so
much the people would not elect him.
He is satisfied the people will never
elect President for the third term.
He heartily approves of this feeling
on the part of the people. He admits
that it would be dangerous tenden-
cy to endow any man with the pow
ers of the Presidency for three terms.
He has talked of the matter freely
with his cabinet advisers, and has
invariably secuted as absurd the
supposition that he was candidate
for another term. He has remarked
that it is bis enemies who are most
determined to get up third term
agitation, and once laughingly said
that they were evidently trying to
compel him to write a letter declin-
ing in advance fourth nomination
or third term.

eral points in Central america, were
recently divided among the leading
mines of the Fairmont region of W est
Virginia. The order came from a
Baltimore concern which is irving to
introduce West Virginia and Mary
land coal into Central and South
America. The Davis Coal Il Coke
Company, which is almost identical
with the West Virginia Central &
Pittsburg railroad, has been doing a
good business in this line in both
coal and coke for some time. This
has induced tue promoters of freight
traffic of the Baltimore d Ohio to
move in that detection and secure a
part of the business. all the Davis
coal going to Baltimore and other
cities. 1t is believed that the Fair
mont coal and coke will prove entire
ly satisfactory as it is from an ex-
tension of the Connelsville field, and
has a splendid reputation among
smelters in this country. The first
shipment was made by way of Balti-
more. These orders have greatly
stimulated operations in all themines
of the Fairmont region.

The Reynolds Show.

Reynolds show gave two exhibit
tions here Monday to good houses.
There was not big crowd here from
the country, but the show was well
patronized and it was one of the
best that has been in this place.
The black bear and goat riding a
horse and jumping through hoops
was something new to our people and
the contortionist and acrobatic feat
ures were well worth the price of
admission. The riding and chariot
races were above the average and the
show was, in fact. first class in every
particular. There was not fakir
in town and the men connected with
the aggregation conducted them
selves in a gentlemanly manner that
won the respect of all who visited
the grounds. Reynolds is sure of a
big crowd on its return to Morgan
town.

CORN CROP RECORD BROKEN.
The Yield of 1895 Estimated to Be
Worth S1,193, 200, 900.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Is. = From
present appearances the corn crop
of 1895 will be the largest in the his
tory of this country. 1t is estimated
by the Agricultural Department
that the yield will be in the neigh
borhood of 2,500,000,000 bushels,
which at the present market price of
December corn means that the farm
ers will receive $76S,000,000 This
sum represents the value of corn
alone, not including the great value
of the stalks used for fodder and for
other purposes. The fodder sells at
from $3.50 to SIS per ton. Taking
the former figure, it would make the
fodder worth $250,000,000. This,
added to the value of the grain,
makes the total money value of the
corn crop for this year 81, 1913, 200,-
600

A Billion Dollar Crop.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-The corn
crop of the United States means a
great deal to the country at large
1t is one of the hardest things to
figure it's money value, owing to the
fluctuations of the market price and
the farm price. While the yield of
corn is very large, it does not accur-
ately show the enormity of its value
to the farmer, as no estimate is Civ
en- of the fodder.
A few years ago the English Gov
eminent sent a man over here to
learn something regarding our corn
crop. This gentlemen paid me a
visit, and was much surprised when
l told him that the corn stalks of
the country were of more value, or
at least as much value. as hay. He
did not seem to realize the value of
the stalks for food purposes, and the
fact that the farmer, by it's use, is
enabled to fatten his stock and pre-
pare them for market. In many
places the stalk is made more nutri-
tious and more valuable by steam
ing.
Enfield, the great authority on
corn, estimated ton of stover to
every twenty five bushels of grain.
At this rate there will be in round
figures, in addition to the grain,
100, 1000 tons of stalk, which, ac-
cording to the estimate of average
value at SIS per ton, by the same
authority, would make an. aggregate
of $500,000,000 If, however, the
slower should only be worth half
this sum, or $250,000000, the pros
pective of the 100000 acres in
grain and stover will be worth to
the country $I,200,000. Assuming
that 1913 cents per bushel or the av-
erage for six years, to be nearer the
true value than the present Chicago
market price, it will be seen that
the present crop of grain is worth
$943.200.000, Surely corn is king.

Get Together.

Democrats should get together in
all portions OF The United States"
says the Washington News. This
is no time for quarreling. There al
ways will be family rows inside the
party, but it is the duty of all men
who believe in the essential princi-
Piles Of Democracy to stand shoulder
to shoulder in one earnest effort TO
defeat the common enemy. Repub-
licanism has been the curse Of the
country. For quarter of a century
the Republicans kept the people
bound virtually in chains by main
tanning an iniquitous tariff, framed
in the interest Of be protected man
ufacturers, from whom the leaders
filehed annually enormous sums Of
money with which elections were car
ried and the ballot corrupted. There
had to be change. Public senti-
ment not only demanded reductions
in tariff duties, but even the manu-
facturers finally became tired of pay
ing tribute money to the Republican
party. Protection was, indeed, pur-
chased at dear price as long as the
system Of assessing the manufactur-
ers was continued.
Democratic prospects are bright,
and the success of the party at the
polls in November will depend large
ly OF the management of the cam
paigh in the various States. 1t is no
tiYe for quibbling over minor issues.
What matters it to the rank and file
of the voters in the party if some of
Tthe leaders are jealous of each other?
What harm can come of honest diff
ferences among Democrats on the
money question: But suppose the
high tariff advocates had deserted
and gone off to the Republican party,
where would the Democrats have
been2 They never would have pass
ed tariff law. 1t is the same with
regard to the financial issue. That
question can and will be settled by
the Democratic party, and inside the
party. Could Georgia Democrats
afford to divide and permit their
State to be captured by the Repub-
licans simply because one faction
led by Secretary Smith, fayors the
gold standard, aud the other, equally
as pronounced for the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver, regardless
of international agreement? Not q
bit of it. Missouri and New York
do not look at such matters in the
same light any more than Missouri
Democrats ever agreed TO the Ran
dali idea of tariff in the long ago;
but Missouri met Pennsylvania hall
way early in the contest, and grad
ually the people were educated on
this subject until in 1892 Democrats
in all sections were able to agree or
a tariff plank which met the approx
al of the country and resulted in the
election of the Democratic standard
bearers. So it will be next year wher
the ablest Democrats meet to declare
the policy of the party on the silver
question. There must be liberality
and no matter which side carries it,
point the thought should be upper
most in the minds of the Democrats
that success is the thing to be de
sired. 1t Is no time for divisions
Soreheads and disruptionists will
have to take back seats. There i
victory in the air, and a strong pull
all together, with no quarter to tn
Republicans, will pave the way for
grander triumph in 1896"
