The unprecedently heavy crops of
of this year are bound to send rail
road earnings in the next few months
up to the highest point ever touched.
This is one Of the cheerful indica-
tions of business. Large crops,
even though prices for the producer
be necessarily lowered, always bene-
fit the country. The producer, not
withstanding the price shrinkage,
makes more than he does on a short
yield, the railroads secure more
traffic, and the consumers get cheap
food.

Uncle Sans postal receipts may
be regarded as one of the best baron

and it is very gratifying, therefore,
to learn that in the first quarter of
the present fiscal year these receipts
exceeded by six hundred thousand
dollars the receipts of the busy sea.

The conviction of the notorious
Holmes in Philadelphia last Satur-
day, and Of Durant in San Francisco,
each of murder in the first decree.
brings to close the trials of two
cases which will 90 into history as
causes celebre. Their crimes were
remarkable not only in their atrocity,
but in the deftness which the perpe-
traitors employed to conceal the evil
dence of their crimes. Each of these
criminals was actuated by different
motives to accomplish the same end,
the death Of his victims. Their
conviction is great triumph, and
their execution will relieve the world
OF two of the most Indifferent, hard
cned criminals in the history of
crime in this country.

There is great deal said in the
public press nowadays about the
Monroe doctrine, and its enforcement
by the United States. The Monroe
doctrine is an indefinite quantity, so
far as the details are concerned, but
in a general way it means that no
European nation should be allowed
to COLOMBO any of the Western hem
isphere, or monopolize any Of its
commercial advantages.

tereStinQ Relics,

The corner stone of the present Nj. l..
church, which was laid twenty-threo
years ago the coming summer, was
removed few days ago, and will form
part of the new church edificc. In
some unaccountable way the cover of
the box had been broken. and in conse-
quence the contents are almost destroyed.
The box contained. besides the Bible
and hymn book, copy of the North
western Christian Advocate, dated Jan
uary ID, 1913, on which was the name
Rev. y. j. Stark, pastor Of the church
al that time. \ copy of the Gratiot
County Journal, Robert Smith publisher,
a copy Of the ST. Louis Herald. dated
Wednesday, May 2S 1873, and published
by William W. Cook. About the only
items in this paper that can be read is
an account Of the attempted suicide Of Il
man in this county who is today alive
and well, and the proceedings of the
village board, i'll which trustees Foster.
Tucker, McHenry, Crossman and Sperry
are reported present. There is in the
box, also, list Of contributors to the
church building fund but the only
names legible are scarborough, Thomas

and W. E. Endicott, secretary of

Many rumors have been afoat for

nothing of this kind is liable to occur.
Hon. Daniel Jones, Sterling r. Cockrell

mentioned as dark horses, all declare
they are not aspirants to senatorial
honors.
Last year it was proposed that the peo-

in the contest, Berry and Fishback-and
the name of none will be presented by
