cept by due process of law shall be
carried out with the utmost good faith.

THE Hungarian authority who has
made, in the past, very close estimates
of wheat crops, makes the worlds
yield for 1895 72, 400 900 bushels less
than the crop of 1894. This is not a
great falling off in the total crop of
2,402, 1901 900 bushels. The rye crop,
upon which Europe quite generally
depends, is reputed to be 15e, ZOO, 900
bushels short, so that the aggregate
falling off from 1894 of these two bread
cereals is about 5000, 900 bushels
not large guam tity, but enough to af.
feet prices unless large amount is
stored away in Europe.

representative alike of those who wore the
blue and of those who wore the gray in
that great sectional combat, which, what
ever else it did or did not, left no shadow
upon American soldiership, stain upon
American manhood But, in Kentucky, the
war ended 80 years ago Familiar inter-
communication between those who fought
in it upon opposing sides; marriage
and giving in marriage; the rearing of a
common progeny; the ministratons of
private friendship; the all-subduing infiu-
ence of home and church and school, of
wife and child. have eliminated in such
closely-knit web of interests and affections
that none of US care to disentangle the
threads that compose it, and few of US could
do so if we would,
