Upprecedented Crops in Kansas.

The year 1895 is now sure to be big
crop year, which fact will make our cup
of blessings full to running over. With
out this big crop the revival of business
would be checked and bad crop would
undoubtedly bring reaction. So the
news of the big harvest field comes just
at the time for the biggest results meas
ured in prosperity. Word from Kansas
is to the effect that during the first week
in June, there was more corn planted in
that state than at any time since the state
was settled. A correspondent In the New
York Sun says
Every acre that was in wheat is now
growing q crop of some kind. Where the
wheat plan,i was gone corn was planted
and where o crop of wheat was harvested
the lister followed after the header, and
in less than six days from the time the
wheat was cut the broom corn was spring
ing through the ground, and has been
making fine growth every moment
since. II there are no very early killing
frosts, which come about October 90 in
that region, this will make half to three
quarters of ton of good broom corn to
the acre. In all the varied history of that
country there was never such forage
crop at this time of the season, and with
their buffalo grass, all kinds of young
stock can winter in that country without
grain and come through into the spring
in fine condition. During the past two
years there have been innumerable small
fields of alfalfa planted out there where
the water can be used for irrigation, and
which will this wear Weld four CROPS of
fine clover hay With this the natives In
that region can fatten few hogs and cat
tie, as animals fattened ON this hay can
be turned into the best and sweetest
meat.
In some portions of Ohio the outlook is
not quite so bright, owing to the drought
this summer, but he recent rains will
enliven things considerably. With such a
large area the country can never have a
continuously big crop. But looking to
the main result, we should thank our
stars this autumn and be thankful.

Tammany's Reorganization.

Tammany has been reorganized in New
York with ex-Mayor Hugh j. Grant as
Richard Croker's successor. John Kelley
brought Tammany Hall to the highest
point of effectiveness as a political organ
ization Crocker proved pretty good
successor, except that he deserted his post
and ran away to enjoy his wealth when
the clouds became pretty thick. Now,
after long deliberation and several false
starts, we have q reorganization based on
an advisory committee of seventy, which
is to be sort of cabinet for the chief.
There is but little question as to the
bad effect on the fortunes of the demo
cratic party at large of such an organiza-
tion as Tammany Hall. 1t is banding
together of men for the purpose of secur-
ing the spoils of office rather than the
popularization Of the principles of IT, q
democratic party. This fact is generally
recognized throughout the country, as was
disclosed at Chicago when Senator Dave
Hill, of New York, with Tammany's sew
enty-two votes sold for him, failed to
make an impression on the convention,
for the reason that he was recognized as a
Tammany candidate.
The opposition, or Cleveland wing of the
party, in New York, is headed by ex-Sec-
retary of the Treasury Fairchild, and can
be counted on to oppose Tammany Hall
in any selfish designs for the advance
ment of private interests at the expense of
the public treasury Great efforts have
been made of late to unite the two wings
of the party, but the men who are demo-
Gratis from principle have steadily refused
amalgamation except on the basis of good
men for office, an honest administration
of public trust, and the steady mainte-
nance of real democratic principles.

The Philadelphia and Canton Loans.

The Philadelphia and Canton Loans.
Only about one-third of Philadelphia s
new loan of 81, 900, 600 was taken at per
cent. To be exact, 1886, 900 out of the
81, 200, 900 was subscribed. All of which
plainly indicates that per cent loans
on the present rising market are oonsid-
cred undesirable by investors. The same
fact Is made manifest in Brooklyns' re-
cent loan, which went at price that
made the interest about 103% per cent
1t is argued by eminent flnanoiers that
the trouble with these municipal loans Is
that the denominations Of the bonds are
too large, and that the people are not al
lowed to subscribe. In France, IL is
pointed out, the railroads issue $50 bonds
and put them on sale at every ticket
Office A 25-franc, or So bond, is not an
unusual issue for large French corpora
tions 1t will be remembered that the
big Panama canal loan was largely noated
among the French middle classes, who
used their savings with which to purchase
shares. 1t was this fact that made that
monumental failure SO disastrous to the
French people.
Why should not this same plan be
adopted for our Canton loans2 We should
like to see trial made of a moderate
sized per cent local loan. If the bonds
were issued in denominations of $40, we
believe their sale within the community
would be reasonably active. People with
little savings would buy as many bonds
as they could afford and would have the
satisfaction of absolute security and an
immediate starting Of interest In addi-
tion to these fine advantages, they would
have their money in good collateral to be
used If needs be, for loans, and for which
in case ralization should be desired, they
could always find good market. Then,
too, what an inducement the floating Of
local loans among our own people would
offer in the matter of making people eco
nomical and frugal Such municipal
financial policy would have direct ten
dency to build up thrifty and prosperous
citizens and would he the means of lay
ing the foundation of many home.
Why should we be always influenced
by preoedentP If Mayor Pingree, of De-
troit had stood in awe of precedent, he
would never have formulated his novel
but very successful plan for the employ
ment of the city poor in small farming
on vacant city lots. If Philadelphia had
stood on precedent, she would not now be
operating her own gas works, lighting the
city free of cost and selling gas to con-
sumers at 81 per thousand. If the innova-
tion we suggest as to Canton loans should
prove successful, the plan would be
adopted by other American cities and the
resulting good of our large national popu-
lation would simply be incalculable.

The Rise of Herbert Asquith.

There is new Moses within the badly
defeated Liberal party in England Her.
bert Asquith comes out Of the wreck with
flying colors. Note this entertaining
statement from Harold Frederick, Lon
don correspondent of the New York
Times:
ExHome Secretary H. H. Asquith' s
turning up with notably increased ma
jority Is in its way quite as dramatic an
episode on the electoral battlefield as Har-
courts phenomenal tumble at the very
outset of the fight Naturally the amaze
ment at his victory, which is wholly q
personal triumph over immense odds, is
promptly followed by the excited conclu-
sion that he is Heaven-sent Moses who
Is to lead the Liberals out of the wilder
ness. This is not the case. No voice will
be raised when the forlorn remnants of
the party get together in opposition to
Harcourt's reelection as it's chief in the
House of Commons. But undoubtedly
events have thrust Asquith forward n
long way to the front of everybody. else as
heir apparent to that post. Asquith is
younger still than Rosebery, and will
have in the new House of Commons not
only the prestige of his splendid electoral
success, but the authority based on the
best administrative work done in any de-
partment of the last Liberal government.
His great fault is certain steeliness of
mind and manner which is apt to chill
human contact. But the Liberals no
longer attach the Importance they for
merly did to genial mien and funny
after. dinner speeches. Unless all signs
fall Herbert Asquith will be Prime Min
lister before Roseberry is The discussion
as to the causes of this overwhelming
rout of Liberalism has long since grown
wearisome. If you adopt the theory that
the defeated candidates are the best
judges of what struck them, there is
practically the unanimous explanation
of beer.
The last reference Is to the "Local
Veto Bill, i" q measure introduced by the
late government that smacl1ed very close
ly to what is known as local option on
this side of the ocean. The fact that
such mild dose of temperance legisla-
tlon as this would carry down great
political party is a very interesting fact.
No wonder Lady Henry Somerset recently
made. the remark that the United States
is far ahead of England in the matter of
temperance and temperance legislation.
Dram drinking, even among women, is a
very widespread vice in England, and
the dram shop.is a national institution.
And yet the present prime minister, the
Marquis of Salisbury, recently in public
speech, uttered the statement: GAS re-
gar DIS temperance legislation, we are very
we'll off !''

Twenty. Five story Buildings.

The new Havemyer building that is
to be erected by the boss of the sugar
trust, on the site of the old Herald build
York, is to be 307 feet high. 1t will have
twenty-five complete stories This is 1877
feet higher than is allowed by the new
Chicago building regulations. In 1890,
when the new Masonic temple was de-
signed in Chicago as a sixteen-story
structure, 1t was widely believed that the
limit to high buildings had been reached,
as the new building was three stories
higher than any OF the sky ky-scrapers then
In the city. Now in five years we have
grown from sixteen to twenty-flv stories.
Naturally, the question is asked "What
will be the limit to the tall building
crazeP Will the price of real estate cut
any figure Qt is up now in New York to
about 81, 200 square foot), the strength
of iron in resisting the force of the wind,
or the possibility of earthquakes.
The only influence affecting the situa-
tion among those mentioned is the price
of real estate, and the higher that goes
the taller the buildings will grow. But
two influences will mark the limit be-
yond which buildings intended for rental
purposes cannot go. The first and most
important Of these is that the best mod
ern elevator cannot serve more than about
fifty offices Another almost as impor-
tant has been found in the fact that tall
building is likely to be irretrieyably dam
aSed by having other tall buildings
erected near enough to shut out the light
for all except the upper stories.
The great pity Is that such ordinances
as that now in force in Chicago were not
adopted in all the cities in time to keep
all buildings to lower and more pictur-
esque level, SO that the denizens who are

gave her permission to go to the lake in
the evening, and when he returned for
supper told her she could not go. She
visited the lake anyway, as she had made
all arrangements. When she returned
home about 10 o'clock in the evening, she
found the doors locked, and was Obliged
to pass the night with friend. Accord
ing to her story, she went to the house
this afternoon, when she was assaulted by
her husband. Mrs. Ryman tried to talk
with her husband, at police headquarters
this afternoon, but he would have moth
ing to do with her, and then she filed the
affidavit. Mr.. Ryman is said to be a hard
working man.

A BLOW at Prison Reform.

The new constitution of New York pro-
hibits the employment of prisoners in any
of the several state prisons on any work
other than the manufacture of articles for
the use of the state. AS 100 to $50 men
can do all this kind of work there is to
do and as there are over 5000 such priso-
ners who should be given employment it
is easy to understand the statement given
out at Albany that the prison officials are
in very serious dilemma over the situ-
alton. AS things are the state has large
Investments in expensive machinery that
yield, under the present system, an esti-
mate yearly income of S750,000 In fact,
although New York has six penitentiar
les and one refOrmatory, 1t is thought that
the inmates can be so employed as not to
compete with state labor to any extent
worth mentioning and at the same time
maintain this enormous prison system
free of expense to the state. Under the
new constitutional provision, the taxpay-
ers must go down in their pockets for at
least 5000, 900 year, with which to main
tain over 5000 men in idleness
The object of giving employment to
prisoners to keep down insanity and sick
ness, which always increases in proper
tion to the amount of idle time during
working hours; to furnish prisoners with
a trade wherewith they can earn an hon
est living; to furnish them with little
money of their own earning, wherewith
to start in life again at the end of their
terms; and to keep down the expense to
taxpayers of maintaining the prison sys-
tenn. DR.. Barber, the prison physician at
Sing Sing, said from his personal obser
walton, speaking of the great death rate
and alarming increase of insanity:
"Of the causes which produced the in
creased death rate during the year. there
can be no question. Under the labor sys-
tenn of the previous year, with larger
daily average in prison, the mortality was
considerably less. The abolition of all
forms of productive industry was crime
against humanity, an outrage upon the
physical, mental, and moral we'll being of
the convicts, without even shadow of
propriety, and utterly devoid of excuse as
a matter of public policy. In this insti-
tuition 1t has resulted In un1uestioned
general physical and mental deterioration,
an increased hospital record, a death rate
swelled by more than 90 per cent, and a
deplorably increased insane list over the
previous year
Warden Stout, Of Auburn, says:
"a good evidence Of the deteriorating
effect of idieness in the prisons is that
nearly all the trouble we have with the
men is on Monday morning OF after
holiday. On Sundays The men are con-
fined in their cells. Monday morning
they come out unhappy and inclined to
ugliness The fights that occur happen
then. This is after just one day of idle
ness
With such presentation Of the facts
there is little wonder that movement is

The Philadelphia Municipal Gas
wnrIxa.

Our readers will remember that several
months ago we called attention to the
manifest Misrepresentation of the result
of Philadelphia's experiment with muni-
cipal gas works, put forth by President
Hickenlooper, H of the Cincinnati gas works.
He cited Philadelphia as an awful exam
pie of what municipal control of city
gas plant would lead to in the way of un-
realed antioipations. When we realize
how rotten the old gas management of
Philadelphia was, the fact that much Of
the city's large gas works equipment is
not modern, and the additional fact that
the present political management of the
city is as bad as anything ever known in
this country, we will be in position to
weigh the Significance of the last annual
report of the gas works, which is before
us. 1t shows that in spite of the reduo-
tion in the price of gas from S1.50 a
thousand to 81 thousand the net profits
of the works were approximately $780, 900.
Besides this sum paid into the city treas.
ury the gas works saved the treasury
5000, 900 by furnishing the city free, for
street lighting, ETC., six hundred million
cubic feet of gas. Furthermore, the de-
partment lowing to certain provisions in
q new paving law) laid forty seven miles
of new mains-in other words added to
its equipment plant sufficient to supply
an ordinary city of from fifty to one hun
dred thousand people. When this extern
sion of the plant is added to the profit of
$500, 900, either paid into the city treasury
or saved to 1t in the matter Of public
lighting, the interest obtained by the city
on the capital invested is magnificent. 1t
is, Furthermore, no inconsiderable gain to
the people Of Philadelphia that they get
their gas for dollar thousand instead
of dollar and quarter as is paid in
New York and Chicago. A reduction of
one-flfth in gas bills would be noticea-
