English Comment on the Results.

The Englishmen who attended the a. y.
U games at Manhattan Field on Saturday
had an excellent opportunity of judging
the abilities of the men against whom they
will compete on September 81. Mr.. Mon
tague Sherman, vice president of the Lon
don A. C. and manager of the English
team. was one of the spectators. In the
evening. after the games, Mr.. Sherman
spoke concerning the events of the day.
He was greatly taken with the running of
Fitzpatrick, the half-miler; regarded Wefers
favorably and was much impressed by the
strength exhibited by big Jim Mitchell
Mr.. Sherman did not think very much Of
that of Capt. Godfrey Shaw of the London
team.

SUNDAY PRESS AND PULPIT.

Il has long been freely admitted by
the clearest and best minds in the pull
pit that. however It may have been IN
the primitive days of Sunday journal
ism. there IS no longer any incompati-
bility between the Sunday newspaper
and the church, and that the two may
become harmonious factors in the ele-
walton Of the community.
In line with this idea. union has
been organized in Boston for the pur-
pose of furnishing every week to the
sunday press of the country a column
article Of non-sectarian character from
the pen of some noted religious writer
There are possibilities Of usefulness in
this project. How far they shall be
realized will. of course, depend largely
on the degree Of skill displayed in the
development Of the idea; but the fact
that IL is put forward hopefully is IN
itself an indication that the press and
the pulpit are approaching conditions
which will render past misunderstand-
ings less possible in the future.

LIE NEXT CONGRESS

Although elected last November, the
Fifty-fourth Congress viii not con-
vene until next December, or over a
year after its election. It is pointed
out that it will be confronted at the
very outset by the fact that, born OF
popular misapprehension, and Degot-
ten of extraordinary circumstances, it
is a waif whose parents no longer exist.
For nothing is more certain than that
the majority Of accidental congressman
elected in the full-cry of all the pack OF
Observation-Disclosures would. were the
election to be held this fall, be elected
to remain at home
Ii is not possible to expect a credit
able record Of a Congress chosen under
these remarkable and accidental con-
ditions. Tidal wave bodies rarely
leave a creditable record behind them.
Too many Of the members know that
their first term will be their last, that
the sort Of accident that called them in
TO political being viii not repeat itself
and these are reckless and indiffer-
ent. and in many cases venal and cor
yupt. The Fifty-fourth Congress has
apparently, in larger measure, all the
elements that served to discredit some
features Of the Fifty-third Congress.
It is an anomaly OF our institutions,
that Congresses do not convene until
after the election at which their record
should be in evidence for judgment
The Fify-fowth Congress ought TO
have convened last January and been
on trial at this falls election. But its
record will undoubtedly be a powerful
factor in determining the greater inter-
ests of 1896.

AN onlrcr 1rssoN IN CoPrER.

The recent announcement that the
copper mining industry of Michigan
was never in a more prosperous con-
dition. i'm confirmation of which came
the further announcement that the
great Calumet and Hecla Copper MINI
ing Company had added 10 per cent. TO
the wages Of their $500 employees, is in
cheerful contrast with the bowls Of
calamity organs over the baleful in
fuence the new tqriff would exert upon
the copper mining industry.
When the Wilson bill put copper in
gots and bars on the free list terrific
shrieks arose from the copper mine
owners. and the tariff organs printed
a chart in which the copper region Of
Michigan was darkly shaded as a sign
Of the ruin that threatened its inhabi-
ants. and this exhibition Of Free Trade
malignity toward an American indus
try was denounced by the tariff organs
as without the least prOvOcauon. But
the results have again disgraced the
predictions Of the false prophets II
McKinleyism. Their croakings of cal
amity have not died upon the air until,
within nine months from the removal
of copper TO the free list, the announce
ment comes from Michigan that the
copper industry was never in a more
fiourishiug condition,
The copper miners, who export enor-
nous quantities Of their product, had
not the least need Of protection" and
the duties were maintained by the Re
publican leaders TO enable the mine
owners and smelling companies the
more easily to rob American consum-

Last year the area planted in corn
was 76. OOO. 900 acres. although the acre
age from which the harvest was finally
computed was only 62,5S2. 269 acyes, the
difference representing the area aban-
doned or turned over to other crops.
The average yield per acre last season
was only 1914 bushels; but in the big
crop years 1889 and 1891 it was q
bushels per acre. There is little doubt
that the acreage this year Will be fully
as large as in 1891. when it was over
100000 acres, and produced a crop
Of 2,O6O,154,OOO bushels; and in view
of the increased corn planting in the
South, and the probable addition TO
the acreage by the utilization Of area
abandoned by other crops, it may equal
or surpass that of 1889, when from an
area Of 7S,S19,657 acres a harvest of
2,112,S92.OOO bushels, the largest on
record. was secured.
AS an exchange says, the country
would have cause to rejoice in the
event Of a duplication Of that banner
year yield. Plentifulness Of corn would
be an experience that the consumers
Of the United States have not enjoyed
since 1891 II would mean cheaper
beef and hog products, and corse-
Quent expansion of the export trade
In meats and lard; and it would afford
an opportunity which has been lacking
during the last year to make a prac-
teal test Of the effect of the missionary
work that has been done in educating
European consumers in the use Of corn
for human food, as it is extensively
used nowhere else than in the United
States. Fortunately, ali the condi-
tions are now favorable for the realiza-
tion of the hope of a big yield OF corn,
although the critical period in the de-
yelopment and maturing Of the plant
has yet to come.

Sistersville W. Va, June 24.-The
famous Dye-Brooks well, on Middle ISL
and creek. near Shiloh. has increased
in production steadily ever since it was
drilled in. and is now doing something
over 500 barrels per day. The excite
ment in that section is waxing warmer
and prices for territory are getting
higher and higher.
Reports reach here to-day by letter
that the Browse we'll is a paying pro-
ducer, rs was reported yesterday.
The Oxford Oil Co. have their rig on
the Grimm farm, across the creek from
the Dye-BrOoks, but cannot proceed for
lack OF a boiler and engine.
Last evening those who have stock
in the COlerain oil well, which was re-
ported to be making such an excellent
show Tor 4 producer, we're not feeling
so good as they were on Monday even
ing. A well known and experienced
oil man of this city went out there yes>
terday morning 20 see the well drilled
in. In speaking of the matter last
night he said the well was one of the
most peculiar he had ever seen. On
Monday the we'll was flowing an inn
menSe volume of gas and was spraying
little oil. Yesterday when he went
out, and he was on the ground by 6
a. m. there was very little gas flowing
and the signs of oil had not increased
any The drill was kept going steadily
all day and last night it was almost at
the bottom OF the Berea with no better
showing than that already reported.
The general opinion is that a large
pocket of gas was struck and naturally
there a little oil there, but the pocket
was small and soon blew itself out.

Mrs O'Keefe has not seen her husband

only child, has grown up and married
Each year since his departure he has
written, sending money for the support
OF his wife and daughter. and promising
70 return as soon as he could leave his
business affairs in a satisfactory condi-
ton.
The history Of King O'Keefe and the
fortune he has made in the Caroline Is
lands is wei known TO his former fellow
citizens iu Savannah accounts Of his sue
cess having been published from time 10
time in the Morning News. O'keefe is

In his letter received by Mrs. O'Keefe
yesterday Capt. O'Keefe states that he

to savannah this year on account of the
unsatisfactory state of business. which
makes il necessary for him to remain In

written from Hong Kong and Capt.
O'keefe inclosed a clipping from a Hong
Kong paper giving an account Of the
storm which swept over the Caroline Is
lands last January The paper mentions
Capt. O'keefe as being one of the heaviest
losers by the damage done to his station
at Terang on one of his islands. Capt.
