The shrinkage estimated on this basis foots up nearly s25,ooo,O 900, as compared with last years cotton crop returns, and over s45, ,OO0, 900 when com pared with the yield of 1892, although the planters have had all the expense of cutivating and picking the largest crop on record.
 The final deduction which the Bank. CTS Magazine makes is that on the three great export crops of this coun- try (wheat, cotton and corn) there has been net loss, compared with the ex- port values of the same crops in 1892, of $1O0, 100000.
 Whenever we talk of hundreds of millions we are talking of totalitfes that are meaningless by reason of their very vastness. The human mind grasps the extent of losses reckoned by tens, by hundreds or by thousands, but when it is confronted with rows of figures that mean thousands multiplied by thousands its sense of proportion is con fused and overwhelmed.
 Counting the cost of Cleveland's twin destroyers of American prosperity tariff reduction and currency contrac- tion--is difficult thing for that req son. The total footings of the losses are too vast to be actually appreciated by the popular mind. They are repre- sented in figures by rows upon rows of punctuated eiphers, marching three abreast and three deep, that simply suggest to the average reader whirl- ing maelstrom of lost millions into whose vortex the products of Ameri- can industry are being sucked and sunk in wreckage that is wholesale and measureless.
 But there is fact that stands out clearly by itself and can be grasped by veryhody-one hundred millions a year less goes into the pockets of the American farmers because Cleveland prices for cotton, wheat and corn yield just that much less for them in ''the markets of the world" than Harrison | prices did.-Chicapo Tribune.

BEATEN BY THEIR OWN STICK. =
An Act of the Fusion Legislature Gusts Re-
 publican Aldermen.

- Raleigh, N. C., May 24.-The board of aldermen of this city tonight busted two republican members of the board, be- cause they had not complied with the law requiring them to return an item ized statement of their campaign ex- 'penses within ten days after election This new law, which was passed by the recent fusion legislature, provides that failure to make such returns works a forfeiture of the office.
 @ There are four other republican mem bers of the board, all of whom failed to comply with the law. The reason only two, and not all of them, were busted was that it was desired to make a test case and have it decided before further action should be taken.

 The boss liked last weeks Cyclone very we'll only he said I ought not to put in all the letters that come to the office, especially letters from women,- when I don't know sihat they mean.
 The boss didn't say a word about Sim pie Johns poetry last week. I was afraid there would be trouble about it.
 I hope MT. Whiskers will live through the women's edition all right and get the Cyclone back to it's old standard of excellence once more. Last week and this week and next week have been full of stirring events and trouble.
 My friends in Bungtown are congrat- ulating me on getting out last weeks. Cyclone. Me and Simple John get in- vited to everything now, and we recte pieces from the Cyclone and have a good time. Simple John has recited Baby Land" every night this week, somewhere. He is proud of it, but don't know why.
 MT. Whiskers raised my salary this week to S5 per month. He is a mighty good man to work for but if continue to prosper like this l am going to start a paper of my own.

A Bad Horse Market.

According to the Chambersburg
Spirit, Philadelphia is a bad horse
market at present. One dealer from
Franklin county took car load Of
horses down last week and one of the
horses that he paid $40 for and freight,
sold for $50. Other dealers who
were in the market did not fare any
better than did Mr.. Zullinger. He
saw fine pair Of driving horses, well
matched, five years old and sound all
over, sold for $6a, for the pair. A
bay horse five years old, sound and
hne appearing, guaranteed to go in
less than three minutes, to be returned
after months trial if not satisfactory,
went for SIS. Prices for heavy work
horses were very little better 1t is
safe to say that no horses will be
shipped to Philadelphia from this
section for some time.
