A Few Remarks on the Rotund Pro-

st. Louis Republic.
The tendency Of the Agricultural depart
ment has been to underestimate the country's
crop yield This is probably due to a. deIire
to be conservative. Private estimates are
generally on the other side Of the line.
Absolute correctness is OF course, out OF
tho question. The crop on which estimates
differ mostly is that of corn. According to
most Of our grain authorities, this years corn
crop will be the largest in the history Of the
country. But that is not the report of the
Agricultural department The condition Of the
crop is rated at 96.4 in the report for Sep
tember. issued last week. The yield per
acre for the entire country at standard of
100 Is ESQ bushels of shelled corn. II the
condition at harvest is the same as reported
by the government for the beginning of Sep
tember-96.4-the average yield per acre will
be 27.5I bushels. The total acreage is placed
at 1918 as compared with last years which
we find to have been 62 $50, ,269 acres. This
would make the total yield for the entire
country not quite $50 100000 bushels.
our greatest corn crop was grown In 1889
and amounted to 112 S92, 900 bushels. That
of 1888 was 1887. 100, 900 and the one in 1891
was 1850 l54 900 bushels These are the larg-
est corn crops in the history OF the country.
we have had one other, however, which ex
ceeded the governments estimate of this
years crop. In 1885 the yield was 1886, 49,
600 bushels. To beat all previous records this
year we shall have to produce about IA por
cent more than the governments latest esti-
mate 1t appears from the Agricultural de-
partments report that this years acreage is
several million acres below the average. The
total for the whole country is 81 463, 4S6 acres,
n;arly 100000 less than in 1891.
But notwithstanding the short acreage, the
crop Is going to be an enormous one, even
as conservatively estimated by the govern
meat. 1t will beat the annual average for the
last five years nearly 300 900 900 bushels.
There is scarcely a doubt now that Mis-
souri, Will take first place among the states
as corn producer this year. 1t certainly
VIII II the government reports for Septem-
Der are reliable. The condition of this
states crop is rated 111-considerably higher
than that Of any other crop. This means
1929 bushels per acre. or 244 ,26O 900 bushels

mates, both as to acreage and condition of
crop, are taken in figuring out this result.
corn than Missouri, but in condition Of crop
each ranks below the latter, one IA

Merton himself is authority for the state

THEY ARE FOR MORTON.

The New York republican convention
unanimously adopted resolution de-
claring Governor Morton to be the
choice of the republican representatives
of the Empire state for the first place
on the presidential ticket In 1896. This
action was expected, the utterances
Of prominent New York republicans for
some time past having foreshadowed
1t, though there was some doubt
whether in every case the professed
preference for Morton was sincere.
Even now there Is reason to question
whether Mr.. Platt and some of his fol-
lowers really desire that Governor Nor
ton shall be the republican candidate
for president next year. having sup
ported the resolution fayoring him be-
cause 1t was polite to do so. Unques-
tionably Mr.. Morton is a very strong
man In New York and he fully merits
the high respect and confidence he en-
joys, which Is not confined to republi-
cans. In every public sation he has oc-
cupied he has shown a high order of
ability and In none more so than In
that of chief executive of the Empire
state. He has held himself aloof from
Omaha daily bee., 1895-09-18

the factious, he has not put partisan
ship above every other consideration.
and his course has so manifestly been
prompted by high and worthy motives
that his political opponents have been
compelled to acknowledge this. Per
haps as n candidate for the presidency
Levi +. Morton could carry New York
but what would be his availability in
other states which must be relied upon
to elect Il republican president?
That Mr.. Morton is well thought of
by republicans generally is unquestion-
able They regard him as being
sound, safe man, who would undoubt-
edly make q good president and who
would certainly maintain the dignity
of that high office. But all the quail
fications possessed by Mr.. Morton are
possessed by other republicans who
have the additional advantage of
being much younger than he, and how
much of an advantage this is in a popu-
lar election every experienced politician
understands. Mr.. Morton is an old
man, though still vigorous for one of
his age, and would not stir the interest
and enthusiasm of the younger class
Of voters as would Reed or Mckinley.
1t Is impossible to say how far the
action of the New York republican con-
vention in declaring its preference for
Mr.. Morton will be regarded as binding
upon the convention of next year that
will choose delegates to the national
convention. Probably he will get the
Empire state delegation, in which case
his name will of course be presented
to the national convention, but it is not
likely he will have much support be-
yond this or that it will be particularly
aggressive in urging his nomination.

CONVICT-MADE FOREIGN GOODS.

Are foreign goods made by convict
labor competing in the American
market with goods made by the free
labor Of this country? This question is
suggested by the report from Washing
ton that the State department has re-
ceived through its consular agents in
formation obtained from chambers of
commerce and trade guilds in Germany
showing that the employment of con-
vict labor is growing in that country
and that large amounts of goods made
by this labor are exported. 1t is not
stated that any of these goods are reg
ularly sent to the United States, but
there is very little reason to doubt that
some of them find their way here. In
deed, 1t was asserted a short time ago
by one of our cOnsuls to Germany that
such Is the case and he suggested an
investigation and also that some action
be taken to prevent if possible the i'm
portation of convict-made goods, desig-
mating a variety of articles which are
thus produced abroad. 1t would man
ifestly be impossible for customs of
ficials to distinguish convict goods
from others and it is not easy to con-
ceive how the importation of such
goods can be prevented. In view of the
fact that adulterated wines and other
articles represented to be pure are
freely exported to the United States
from Europe there is reason to believe
that the German manufacturers who
employ convict labor send goods here.
though possibly not so extensively as
to England and some other countries.
But In any event the matter is certainly
one which should receive the serious
attention of the government and the
labor organizations especially will
find in it subject worthy of their con-
sideratiOn. We want no convict made
foreign goods Of any kind imported
into this country. 1t is quite enough
that American manufacturers are com
PEELED under the democratic tariff to
meet the severer competition of foreign
manufacturers employing free labor,
which is fully testing their ability to
hold their share of the home market.

An ASSURED SUCCESS.

The Nebraska State fair at Omaha
this year is now an assured success
Not that at any time was there any
imminent danger that it would be u
failure nor that the men who have
spent so much time, energy and money
at any moment faltered in their work
for fear the results would not be what
they hoped and expected. But the
preparatory period is always liable to
bring delays, mishaps, and misunder-
standings that might have imperiled
the success of the huge undertaking.
The preparatory period has been safely
passed. The first two days of the great
exposition have been more than the
most sanguine have anticipated, and it
Is unnecessary to await the remaining
days to characterize the fair as an UNI
qualified success.

THE POLICE BoARp DECISION.


The supreme court of Nebraska has
affirmed the constitutionallty of the
new police commission act and upheld
the validity OF the Churchill-Russell APP
pointments. While this decision is at
variance with the opinions of many
lawyers equally learned in :he law and
no less eminent than the judges of the
the highest judicial tribunal of this
state and binding upon every law
abiding citizen.
1t is to be deplored that the decision
will be regarded as political rather
than as strictly judicial. 1t is very un-
court involved incidentally contro-
versy between n populist governor and
two republican state officers whose dis
courteous action and discreditable ap-
pointments n republican court has thus
felt itself compelled to endorse. In
this instance, as in the case of the i'm
peached state officials two years ago,
republican court has, unwittingly
perhaps, struck a damaging blow at re-
publican self-purgation and republican
supremacy in the state. The acquittal
on mere technical grounds of the
state officials whom four-ffths of
republican legislature had charged
with corrupt practices and gross
neglect of duty, whereby the treas
ury was looted and the state was
robbed, was pernicious example which
soon bore it's deadsea fruit. Stimu-
lated by the courts action, the vindi-
Gated jobbers and boodlers Joined hands
to dominate republican conventions and
to foist upon the party as their sue
cessors in office men who were more un-
principled and more INSCRIPTIONS than
they. Had these men been held rigidly
accountable and deposed from power
as they should have, been, n man of
the record and caliber of Thomas J.
Majors would never have dared aspire
to the governorship of this common
wealth and men of Russell's and
Churchilfs stamp would have no place
on any ticket Instead of weakening
public confidence in its unbiased judg-
mentS, the supreme court cOu!u nave
raised itself in popular estimation and
strengthened the republican party.
The police commission decision will
also naturally recall the fact that the
enactment of the police bill was or
dered by the general manager of the
Burlington railroad with the avowed
design to convert the Omaha police and
fire departments into machines for
bringing the city of Omaha under the
political dominion of the Burlington
czar. 1t now remains to be seen
whether the people Of this city can be
bulldozed into corporate bondage by
pOlicemen's clubs swung over their
heads by such reprobates as Paul Van
dervoort and such political desperadoes
as w. j. Broatch.
A review of the history of this case
or Of the legal points involved in this
decision is superfluous. Suffice it to
say that the law was conceived in
fraud by set Of political mounte-
banks, and will now be executed by
just the kind of men that, like Cassius,
are fit for treason, stratagems and
