A SURPRISE.

Everybody knew that the corn
crop of last year was small be-
cause of the drought in several
of the greatest corn producing
States, but statistics just issued
by the Federal department of ag-
riculture contain some interest
ing statements concerning the
corn crop of 1894 that will cause
surprise.
The entire yield of the country
was 1912, no, 900 bushels,
against 1919, 4O4, 900 bushels in
1898, a decrease of 400, 724, 900
bushels.
The South was spared the Gala
nifty that befell the corn crop in
the west, and the fourteen
Southern States produced 483,-
423, 900 bushels Of corn. The
average yield per acre in this
section was good and large guam
titles of corn have been shipped
from the South to the West.
Though the South last year
produced a larger proportion OF
the total corn crop Of the country
than ever before, the idea that
the South beat its record in corn
raising is erroneous. Last years
corn crop in thefourteen southern
states fell below the crop 1881,
51.519, 900 bushels.
These figures ought to put the
farmers of the South to think
ing. They cannot afford to re
duce their food crops. 1t would
be the Dheight of folly for
them to depend on cotton as a
means of obtaining their sup
plies, and the nearer they can
come to making cotton a surplus
crop the carer will they APP,
proach the assurance of prosper
ity. Less cotton and more corn
this year than last would be q
good motto for every Southern
farmer. Unless this policy is
adopted our farmers will have to
pay heavily for their blunder.
They did better with hogs
than with corn last year. While
there was a decrease during
1894 Of 1,O4O, 782 in the number
of hogs in the country, the mum
Der in the South increased 606,
693, and it is probable that its
pork product of last year was
the best on record for the South.
It would be a misfortune fol
our food crops to fall off this
year and if they were made
much greater and the cotton
acreage much less, the Soutl
would be vastly benefited.

to Nicaragua, giving that Re
public seven weeks in which to
pay an indemnity Of S75, 900 for
the alleged wrong done to the
British Consul Hatch at the time
of his deportation by Nicaraguan
troops from Bluefelds. England
has other claims against the
Central American state, which
she says may be submitted to an
arbitration committee, on which
no United States or other Amerl-
a representative shall be al
lowed to serve. Pending the
consideration of these latter,
she makes her imperative de-
mand for S75.OOO, and backs itup
with threat to occuy Nicaraguan
territory as security for its pay
ment. Admiral Jouett, q. 5. n,
cites as a precedent for England's
action that of ourown government
1853, when Captain Hollings, of
the Cyane, bombarded Greytown,
to avenge an insult offered to
United States Minister Borland;
but he overlooks the fact that
England protested against that
act and even offered a show Of
forcible opposition until the guns
of the Cyane, trained across the
decks of H. B M. ship Express,
persuaded the British captain to
consider discretion the better
part Of valor, and get out Of the
line of fire. Will England now
attempt to lombard Greytown or
occupy Bluefelds? Not if Ad-
miral Meade be on the spot with
n of our new vessels not built
for backing down or out.
Germany and France also are
reported to be contemplating a
demonstration against Venezuela;
and Spain is debating whether
or not to comply with Secretary
Gresham's peremptory demand
for apology and reparation on
account Of the firing, by one Of
her cruisers, on the United States
Mail steamer Alliance on the 8tG
inst.
Hence arises the newspaper
rumor that an European alliance
is being formed against the
United States; followed by the
other rumor that the Latin re
publics of Mexico, Central and
South America, offer to join Us
in an offensive and defensive al
lance against the old world.
Both rumors may be dismissed
as doubtful or worse We have
only one enemy in Europe or II
the world, and she will not dare
occupy Nicaraguan territory OF
pursue her robbery of Venezuela
once our government says
Hands off, France is our tradi
tional friend, so is Russia. Ger
many has no ground of quarre
with US, outside of a Commercial
question adjustable on a business
basis. No European power car
afford to challenge the United
States to fight; and even were {
new ''Holy Alliance" to be form
ed against US, North and South
America could defy the world il
arms.
The Doctrine" of President
Monroe was respected when We
were a handful Of people, and i
should be enforced now that We

WHAT THE STATE YIELDS,
A Banquet That VIII Have on the
Menu Hundred Products of
California Only.

Everything is progressing to make the
California banquet on the 10th success.
There viii be 100 small tables served by
100 walters, and the menu cards will con-
tain list of 100 things produced in Cali
fornia. The latest addition to the bill of
fare is some BEARS meat, now on its wav
from Nevada City, near which place the
bear was shot.
The banquet, which is to be given at the
California Hotel. will begin at o'clock,
with music and speeches. At 10 O'Clock
the banquet-room will be thrown open for
the general feast.
The preliminary musical programme
will be under the management OF Miss
Marie Withrow.
General w. H. i. Barnes will be toast
master and Horace Platt will assist him.
Among those who will speak are Senator
Perkins, Samuel NJ. Shortridge, James
Phelan, Congressman Mcguire, W. H.
Holcomb and William II. Bunker.
The decorations will be composed almost
entirely of the fruit and flowers of Califor-
mia. Great branches of fruit trees and of
grapevines, with punches of grapes, will
form conspicuous feature of the display.

to the City Hall in sections and there put
together, to see that all the Joints and con-

time, beginning with the pedestal, will
be bolsted up on the working elevator to
its place.

then be that Of finished tower with a

the base of the dome-the first order of
| columns Ionic, the second Corinthian
with the attic above-the spectator does
not comprehend the full magnifcence of
| the whole because of the unfinished con-
dition of the dome. But it is none the less
magnificent in fact and worthy of more
than the casual glance given it by the
thousands of people who pass along
Market street, impressed with the idea
| that until the tower dome shall be finished
it will remain undeserving of a careful
| view.
Away up there in the top floor of the
attic story, just completed, will be located
the fire signal station, nearly 800 feet
above the level of the City Hall floor, but
beyond that the curious may go when the
structure shall be finished, for on top oil
the dome, extending around the collar of
the great ball. there will be gallery, from
whose floor one may see over the City and
many miles away, provided the fog is not
upon the land.
The plans for the interior finishing of the
structure are not yet completed, but will
be ready for the contractors by the time
the exterior has been completed. The gen.
eral plan, however, contemplates an ele-
vator through the center from the ground
floor to the feet of the angel, and several
| stories of rooms whose windows are ready
to give light and air to the occupants.

streetcar lines will appear with free notices
OF the. banquet. Wells, Fargo & Co. have
offered to give free expressage on all
things sent to the banquet.
1t is not the purpose of the California
banquet in any way to depreciate the prod
ucts of other States. The idea is simply
to emphasize the extent and excellence of
the home products.
