COMING To SAN ANTONIO.
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 5.-This city
was favored today with the pres
ence of one of the most exalted
dignitaries of the great Catholic
church, in the presence of His
Grace, Archbishop Corrigan, Of
New York, who arrived this morn
ing via the Louisville & Nashville
railroad, from New York. He was
accompanied by Monsignor Farley,
vicar general Of the diocese
Of New York, Very Rev. Dean Nc
Kenna, 3. F., and Father j. Con-
nelly, secretary to His Grace. To-
morrow morning another batch Of
distinguished clergy will arrive,

Elder, of Cincinnati, and Bishop
Heslin, of Natchez.
ARMENIA's FRIEND.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, Oct. 5.-The
appointment of Kiamil Pasha as
Grand Vizier, successor to Said
Pasha is conceded a wise choice.
1t is considered triumph for the
Powers which have taken the re-
sponsibility of obtaining reforms
in the administration methods in
Armenia. His appointment is
likely to have benign influence,
but it would be idle to build any
permanent hopes upon his occu-
pancy OF the position, as he can
only retain office so long as he will
submit to guidance from the pal
ace. One thing is certain, how
ever: Kiamil Pasha has the con-
fidence of the representatives Of the
Powers. This fact will enable
him, under the present condition,
to WELD far wider influence than
otherwise he would have been
a BILE to do.
General excitement in Armenia
has disappeared. and further
trouble is not feared. Police have
been withdrawn from the Patri-
archaic and other churches in
which Armenians took refuge.

UNDERTAKER 'Grosjean has added
to his collection of relics map and
census of Ohio bearing the date Of
1880. The map shows but seventy
three counties in the State and the
census enumerated shows the entire
population at 937,9O3. There are
no railroads shown on the map, and
what is now Auglaze county was then
embodied in Allen county, with a pop.
ulation Of 57S persons in the entire
territory. Neither hamlet or city
named Lima was known of at that
time, and Hog Creek Reserve is the
only place marked out IN this part OF
the county. The census gives Van
Vert county population of 49 per-
sons, Hardin county 2l0, Henry 262,
and Hamilton, then the largest of any
county in the State, population of

Shrinkage in Farm Values.

The printed official statistics show
that on million acres of land which
changed hauds last year in sixty-two
Ohio counties there was a shrinkage
of $3,Oo9,OO0as compared with the
values of the year before, while the
new mortgage Indebtedness for the
year was 65 per cent greater than the
old debt cancelled.
The correspondent of the Post says
with truth that though the decrease
in Ohio land values has been going
on for years nothing like this was
ever known before.
What is true of Ohio is more or
less true of the agricultural land In
the entire country. 1t has been fore
ed lower from year to year until now
the causes of its decline are growing
cumulative in their effects.
1t would require much space to
enumerate these causes In detail, but
they may be summed up in the state
ment that the government policies of
the United States and of Europe are
being dictated to an increasing extent
by the cities, and in the cities by men
who are ignorant of nearly every
thing outside Of their special line of
business. The extent of this ignorance
in the ruling class is often alarming
in the extreme to those who are suf-
fciently Will informed to understand
its effects.
Whether it is true or not that en-
lightened selfshness is the basis of the
best possible government, it ascertain.
ly true that unenlightened sel6shness
Esuch as charaoterizes the plutocracy
of modern cities, is certain to result
in the worst possible.
In America the governmental
policy of thirty years has built up
monopoly and sustained capitallstic
combination at the expense of the
producer on and off the farm. This
has forced farm values steadily down
until within the last year Ignorant
and laundering folly In shaping the
financial and ether policies of the
government has greatly exaggerated
what was already bad enough.
The subject is not pleasant one,
certainly and it ought to be avoided
if that were possible. But tits not
1t will soon force itself and its mean
| ing even on the most ignorant. New

1t Makes a Difference.


The conviction and sentence to the
penitentiary of Ex.Deputy Auditor
Gerdeman, Treasurer Crawis, and
Ex-Auditor Place, of Putnam county,
and Sauer, OF Defiance, is suggestive
of the final end of men who enter up
on dishonest practices. And it is none
the less suggestive of the partiality of
party politics. These prosecutions and
convictions were in overwhelming
Democratic counties. Within ten
years the writer of this has uncover
ed public robberies 100 per cent.
greater in the counties of Gallia,
Athens, Madison, Fayette, Clinton
and Green and others and produced
the proof of which Republican judges
and prosecuting attorneys took no
notice, except in Gallia county, where
eleven men confessed to having
stolen $4,000 Of the public funds,
upon which they we're indicted. And
yet the indictments against them were
nollied. There have been three or
four enormous robberies of the public
funds in eastern Ohio within the past
year, but as the counties are Republi-
can, no prosecution has been insti.ut-
ed, nor will there be any. 1t is only
in Democratic counties that dishonest
officials are brought to Judgment
Columbus call.
