NOTE AND COMMENT.

The San Francisco cases OF the mon
charged with criminally assaulting in
fantlle girls and of corrupting females
who are mere children are too horrible
in rhe charges made for calm contempla-
ton. While the presumption OF inno-
cence must prevail until the men are con-
victed, the outburst OF public indignation
against the crimes Is to the credit of the
community. Every lover OF child.
every friend Of humanity, everyone havr
ing a spark of manly feelingin his breast,
must pray for the speedy determination
of the guilt OF these men, if guilty, and
then such punishment of them as will be
effectual warning and deterrent iniiu-
ence for all brutes masking as men.
Wonders never cease. There Is one
criminal case on the boards in San Fran
cisco that is too vile for even the metro
politan press to report. What nasty
case it must DE indeed when the bay
press touches it with tougs.
Just before the nominations in Ohio
were made last summer We were told OF
the important part Coxey was to play in

be. Why not try 1t in Sacramento, say
for the month of February? We have
ample hall room. it will cost little and
will largely repay exhibitors. and will be
pleasant entertainment besides. 1t is
probably true that not one per cent. OF
our own people know what all the pro-
ducts and lines of manufacture and sale
in Sacramento are. 1t was related TO US

Louise Michel, the French anarchist
though the designation is too mild for her
lis to be in the United States next
month. She is brought over for the pur-
pose of blowing the subsiding embers of
anarchy into glowing flame. and as she
is woman of ideas, courage and fearless
ness, we may expect that she will infnse
some new vitality into the ranks OF the
dynamiters. But her influence can be
greatly negatived If the press will ignore
her and her following. The newspapers
should come to agreement TO leave this
petroleuse absolutely alone. to lend no
column to what she says, to give no word
of print TO any report concerning her. In
that case she will preach only to the few
eer-cellar. long-haired anarchists we
now have. Toignore her is to render her
comparatively harmless in this country.
To print what she says and does is TO
give her audiences of millions.

when friend suggested that the class OF
goods he was examining was manufact-
ured In his own city. fact that excited
his surprise, and secured his order for
the home house. In still another case
Sacrsmentan went abroad at considerable
expense to procure a peculiar order OF
tools that are sold in at least two houses
in Sacramento, fact of which he was
wholly unaware. Still later an order
was sent for certain kind of prepared
fruit 10 an upper county, and the buyer
was astonished when informed that
better quality was procurable at home.
There are small manufactures in this
city that have practically no home mar
ket because of the ignorance-no oftense
intended-ot our own people concerning
home production. To non-advertising
the trouble is due in large part, but not
entirely. We believe three-days' home
exposition of home products would prove
delightful surprise to our people, and
be source of great profit to producers
and consumers alike.

FoHEIGN ritAoI: co.'s,

HE HIRG1S1AN yesterday alluded to
the fact that the reports Judi
Gated that the country this year
will have the largest corn crop
in its history. Commenting upon
the fact, the Chicago Record states
that this gratifying Information comes
at a most oprortuue time. The foreign
demand for both oats and wheat is
declining, while that for corn seems
to be steadily increasing. For some
years the National Government has
maintained in Europe an agent whose
business has been the Introduction of
corn as food product, and the policy
has been productive OF good results.
IL has been hard to teach the Euro.
pean that corn was as good for man as
for animals, but this fact has become
to be understood and the lower
price OF corn az compared with wheat
has been powerful INCENTIVE for the
poorer classes TO use it. This years
crop is estimated at 2,4Oi, O01, 600
bushels, which is more than 200, 600, coo
In excess OF the largest production of
corn ever known.
With no foreign demand such crop
would be almost calamity TO the pro.
dueers of the country, but as
aae Record remarks, the indica.
The Norfolk Virginian. [volume] (Norfolk, Va.) 186?-189?, 1895-07-27

tions are that tho exports OF corn
this year will be more than quadruplsd .
The fact is. there has never been so
active demand for corn for export as
now, and this demand is moro likely to
increase than to decline.
IL corn instead OF wheat could be
made the leading export crop it would
b. fur better for the American farmer.
Corn is more easily raised aud is not 10
eShaustlng crop for tho soil ns wheat
or barley. Besides there is less foreign
competition for the producer OF corn
than for auy other grain. The wheat
area lie constantly diminishing in
America while tie corn aren is iucreas
ing. and the time mny come whom the
United States will import instead of
export wheat Tor domestic consumI :
ton. The growth OF tho foreign corn
trade is one OF tho most hopeful things
about the coun,ry's foreign trade.
