600, ooo, 900 bushels less than the crop of

200, 600, 900 bushels less than the crop OF
1895.
The one bright spot today in the grow
ing world of 1890 is the phenomenally good
prospects for the corn crop, which extend
all over the entire corn belt of the country.
What has worked SO disnstrously to the
wheat and cat crops has been the very life
and making Of tho corn crop, and that Is
plenty of rain.
Corn today Is well advanced and In
growth and condition far In advance of an
average season. With ordinary weather,
which the month Of August would natu-
rally give us, by tho lst of September n
very large percentage of the corn crop OF
the country ought to be out of the way OF
frost
Tho prospects are now that the yield Of
corn this season will be probably as largo
II not In excess of the crop Of 1895.
Conclusion: Crops of both spring and
winter wheat are below an averags In
quantity and quality. There Ia a shortage
In the oat crop as compared with 1895.
The quality is poorer. Everything points
to full crop OF corn. Large reserves are
still on hand of old corn and oats, particu-
larly the former Good milling wheat
promises TO be scarce, at higher prices. The
movement of new crop will be light, being
largely absorbed by the home demand
Fair movement Of old corn at present cut
rates No grain will be held for higher
prices, but sold as consumption demands

UNIQUE REVENGE.
Method Adopted by Kentuckian-Lec'
lures on His Enemy.

Method Adopted by Kentuckian-Lec-
lures on His Enemy.
No more strange method for gaining re-
ycnge was ever known than that pursued
by William HORNE of Nicholasyillei ny.
He protests against the judgment OF a
court of law and denounces fellow man,
although the courts, backed up 10y the law
say he il innocent. He claims that Charles
Hudson, a prosperous farmer, owes him
the sum of $500 Hudson boCrowed $500
fros Mrs. Nancy Horine. AT her death
william, her son, became her heir, and he,
believing that Hudson had never repaid his
mother, brought suit for the amount. The
courts decided that the debt had been paid,
and the suit was carried up.
The Judgment of the court, However, did
not change Horine's delusion, and he has
begun his revenge under the guise, as he
terms il, of furnishing dishonesty. lie has
written a lecture in the style of a dialogue,
which portrays the dealings between Bud-
son and his mother, and then tries To show
that Hudson never repaid the oebt OF SOU.
He concludes with TRADE against Hudson
for not paying his debts and quotes nuner-
Gus passages of Scripture 10 show how tho
Lord condemns such men az Hudson. The
article is very we'll written from literary
standpoint, and certainly is unique. HORNE
carries it with him and reads 1t to every
one who will listen.
In the courthouse yard, just In front of
the main entrance, Nc placed IA small table
the other day, and on 1t "A glass OF water.
Then he took his position behind 10 ana
began reading his lecture He acted the
parts of the dialogue. Soon "A large crowd
was congregated about him, and this seem
ed to I'll him with enthusiasm. When he
finished the reading OF his lecture, he was
much excited and continued talking on,
and said that he would kill Hudson on
sight. He announced that from now on he
would deliver this same lecture in front oi
the courthouse door every Friday afternoon
between and 3 o'clock.
Although Horine is well balanced on ev-
cry other subject many people believe that
he has become insane from brooding over
this one particular matter.-Cincinnati

THE SOUND MONEY DEMOCRATS.
The resolutions adopted by representa-
tives OF the sound money Democrats OF
Rhode Island are good stuff.
They express with equal honesty the
sound money sentiment of the great
majority OF Rhode Islanders, and the
tariff for r.revenue-only sentiment OF the
Democracy which has been discredited
and repudiated time and again by the
great majority OF Rhode Islanders.
The resolutions are addressed to "the
Democratic and Independent voters" as
was expected because Of the personality
OF the endorsers. The Hon. AMAsA NJ.
EATON, who is about as independent as
anybody else on earth, and the Hon.
CHARLES III. PAGE, who Is Democrat
of the old school kind from Scituate, and
the Hon. AUGUSTUS s. MILLER, who IS an
Independent when he doesn't really care
for an office, ana a Democrat when he
does, and the Hon. SAM II. BULLOCK,
who is ever a Democratic-IndependeD
when he 10 not an Independent-Demo
whose political am bition seems to be lead
ing him to run for cbairmanships of one
kind and another, and the Hon. VIII
LIAM q. BAKER, the Hon. JESSE IL. Met
CALF, the Hon. CHARLES Z. MUNFoRD.
who conspicuously represent the young
Democracy, and whose exeriions are ever
devoted to bewitching Republicans with
the idea that the only true independence
Is in Democracy, and the Hon. CHARLES
CorToNsEED NICHOLS, who, having
given up saving tho city OF Providence
from misrule and bankruptcy, has time
at his disposal TO rescue the country,
all these are cuddled up together as they
should he in favor OF sound money and
bohpNihNys
And II is a hopeful sign that they all
appear to be for sound money first and
Democracy last, according to the present
evidence. For when Mr.. EATON rose to
recommend the enunciation OF Demo-
cratic principles by those who believe
in them, but the voting for MCKINLEY
rather than the frittering away of good
sound money effort on third ticket, we
are informed that bis remarks met with
general approval.
A crisis may we'll be believed to nave
been reached in affairs political IL the
Hon. JAMES TIFFANY or the Hon. J. NJ.
| STUDLEY, or the Hon. FRANK II. JACK
SON ever nerve themselves up to the
sticking point Of going into wardroom
and making an X Alongside tho names
of the Republican electors on Nov. 3,
next.
And yet why shouldn't they?

in our day and generationf

THE silverites ought not to foel with
figures OF speech. They can be twisted
more readily than any other kind OF
figures to mean almost anything. For in
stance, the BRYAN "cross Of gold" could
be used With equal effect by the gold
bugs by simply substituting tho word
"silver" for "gold." And, plainly, II
there Is anything in metaphor, "oross
of silver" would be Immensely more
wolghty and bur, en- Somo to lug around
than "cross OF gold," even at the re-
ducsd ratio In weight from 81 to to l6
