a Typical Republican Legislature.
From the Baltimore Sun CDem)

The practice of legislative bodies making
appropriations to newspaper reporters
and public employees who are paid regu-
lar wages was carried to extremes by the
ed recently. Besides gratuities of over
5000 to reporters, the members voted
money to messengers. doorkeepers, CLOAK
room attendants and employees in general
Not only this, but they made an appropria-
ton of $50 TO each of two bootblacks, who
have q stand in the capitol at Hartford
and $25 each to three news boys who sell
newspapers there. This reckless gener-
osfty on the part Of the Connecticut legis-
lature cost the state $4,000 in the aggre-
gate.

enough to have won a prize Of 5000 in open

Third Term Talk.

The only persons in all this broad land
who have discovered evidence that
Cleveland is ambitious, and schein-
ing for third term are his
enemies, and they proclaim their pre-
tended discovery only TO arouse a preju-
dice against him aud make him unpopu-
lar. This is the truth and the whole truth
about the third term talk, for not par

Treasury department officials report that
the demand for one-cent pieces Is unprece-
dented. The odd-cent prices at the big
stores and the drop-a-penny machines
have increased the field of usefulness Of
the copper coins greatly. And the copper
currency is not elastic enough to meet
the increased want. 1t seems, therefore,
that there should spring up a demand
for the free, unlimited and Independent
coinage Of copper. 1t might be worth the
while of the populist statesmen to cor
respond with the Lake Superior copper
mine owners.

According to the information and esti-
mates of the department Of agriculture, the
corn crop Of the country viii be this year
:. Do, POS, 900 bushels. The average mind can
not well grasp the meaning of that i'm
mense sum when expressed In figures; sup
pose we try it in words-two billions, two
hundred and twenty-five millions. two hun
bred and eight thousand bushels! Expert
ments lately conducted by the department
of agriculture demonstrated that corn is
worth fifty cents a bushel. If the market
price is below that figure it may be made
to bring fifty cents a bushel by turning it
into pork. Therefore. the corn crop of the
United States this year will be worth ST.
1l.l0IO00. Again let's put the figures into
words-one billion. one hundred and eleven
millions, one hundred and four Thousand
dollars! What a great crop corn is, to be
sure! And the price of corn, like the price
of cotton and wheat, is not affected by the
price of silver.
