tensively in the interests OF the

horsewoman, whom he met in
Bombay. During the Franco
Prussian war Herr Won Kessler, as

the wounded Of both armies, and

Report on Foreign Missions Shows
a Deficit for the Year.

PITTsBURG, May 23.-After de-
votional exercises, the Presbyter-
ian assembly proceeded to business
yesterday. Before taking up the
subject OF foreign missions, the an
nouncement was made that the
moderator had appointed addi-
tional members Of the committee
to confer with the theological SEM
inaries. In the brief interval be-
fore the order Of the day was taken
up, Judge Hinckly, who was ap.
pointed to the committee
conference with the seminaries,
rose and presented resolution
stating as he did so, that there was
strong feeling that the Union
theological seminary in New York
had done wrong to the church in
the taking out Of its property,
which really belonged to the
church. His resolution embodied
a request to the committee to In
quire into the right Of the Presby-
terrain church in the property Of
the Union seminary and they to
report what steps were to be taken
to enforce their rights. The resolu-
ton was referred to the committee.
DIR. George W. Chalfant, Of Pitts
burg, presented a report on tn
work of the board OF foreign M
sion. He reported receipts to
amount of $S65.709, and a defict
$212.991. Expenditures amou
1887 .S02, of which the exper
the administration amount
little over 100000.

CROP BULLETIN.

The Weather-C Crop Bulletin issu-
ed by the Missouri Weather Ser
vice for the week ending August
24th, says:
Accross the central portion of
the state the mean temperature of
the past week was slightly below
the normal but in the northern and
southern sections it was about the
seasonal average.
The precipitation was decidedly
IN excess of the normal over the
northern and portions of the cen
tral and southwest sections, but in
the southern counties the rainfall
was generally very light.
The rains in the western and
northern counties have been of
grea benefit to late corn and also
to pastures, and many correspon-
dents report that the entire corn
crop is now assured, but in num-
Der of the central and most of the
southern counties they were too
light to be of any material help.
and late corn has been injured by
drouth in some localities.
Early corn is ripening rapidly
and cutting has commenced in a
number of counties.
In many of the southern coun-
ties plowing for fall seeding is
still delayed ON account of the dry
weather, but in those sections
where rain has fallen it has pro-
gressed favorably.

vent respectable Sandwich Is

to say Grover Cleveland is still at
Washington, and if anybody cares

ton of the patriotic sort, just let
little Hayti make few faces at
Uncle Sam.
Some of the farmers voted
for free trade in 1892, because they
wanted to get foreign money for
their wheat. The experiment has
been a disastrous failure, how
ever, because it has not gone far
enough. Before the farm,r can
get European cash for his wheat,
he will have to keep on voting the
cheap ticket until land and labor
cost no more in this country than
they do in India, Argentina and
elsewhere. He may well doubt
this being a prudential measure,
but the situation is before him
precisely in this aspect.
There are national issues
which will live as long as time
may last. Grounded in theory and
encompassed by huctuating con-
ditions, they are beyond the realm
If practical demonstration. They
pass through industrial uprisings
and financial crises unaltered. each
lemagogue still fluent in his story
md each voter unshaken in his
faith. National economy is the
elimination of profit and loss, the
tangible result of the right thing
1t the right time, and it is after all
more or less an honest difference
in our mathematics. But the Re
publicans have this advantage, es-
pecially when it comes to the tariff
they are perfectly willing to
submit their work to the cool un-
erring candor of figures.
