THE CORN CROP.

The outlook now is that the corn crop
of 1897 will be from four to five million
bushels less than the yield of 1896, which
was round 1900, 100000 bushels If the
falling off shall be as much as expert sta
tisticians are estimating it will send the
price up considerably probably to 40 cents
Il bushel in the grain market, and say 81
to the producer, The short crop prospect
has already caused an advance Corn al
ways sympathizes in price with wheat,
and the price of the latter is now higher
than for several wears, and going still
higher Europeans, being short of wheat,
will eat more corn and rye, the scarcity of
wheat making its price so high that peo-
pie of small means cannot afford to buy it,
Our corn exports that have been growing
at Il very gratifying rate, for several years,
may be expected to bound upward this
year, smartly, by reason of the condition
here mentioned. And the shorter corn
crop will be, on the whole, beneficial to
the farmers and The country at large. The
shorter quantity will be more than made
good by the higher price, and everything
that grain enters into-Vork, beef, ETC.

PREP FORTHEF FIGHT

Numerous conferences were held Satur-
day and Sunday by republican organiza-
ton leaders in Baltimore, who were be
ginning to recover from their soreness
over the action of the Ocean City convrn-
ton. They discussed the situation from
every point of view, in an endeavor to ar
range the best plan of action, and were
busy asccrtaining the sentiment of voters.
Activity was especially noticeable among
those who had been nominated for Office
upon the organization ticket. They and
their friends Sunday were hurrying to and
fro, holding conferences and string up
interest among the precinct and ward lead
crs. They believe that Il Master victory
will mean the death of their political asp-
rations this year, and for that reason will
make determined fight in the primaries.
Some of the Master leaders, confident of
success, are urging concessions to the 9th
er side in :he interest of harmony. One
of the plans advocated is to place Mr..
Daniel l. Brinton on the Master ticket
foradditional Judge of the Supreme Bench,
and Mr.. f. II. Fowler for register of wills,
with here and there candidate for the
House of Delegates. Organization people
believe, however, that in case of a Master
victory none but straightout Master men
will be placed on the ticket
4 prominent organization leader said
Sunday night: ''Our PEG. !c are coming to-
gcther again, and we are pre-. airing for 4
gallant fight Interest in the work of
making up ticket, which was dashed
rather flat by the action of the Ocean City
convention, is rcviving. While we con
slider that the odds are now against us, we
feel there is al excellent fighting chance.
and beside, the tide may come our way be-
fore two weeks have gone.
Il view the situation and the probable
tiles in this way: We ought to carry the
second, third, fourth, sixth, seventh, clev-
enth, twelfth, sixteenth and eighteenth
wards without much trouble 7 concede
to Mr.. Master the fifth, thirteenth, sew
enteenth, nineteenth, twentieth, twenty
first and twenty second wards, leaving the
first, eighth, ninth, tenth, fourteenth and
fifteenth to be fought for. We should car
~ the eighth and the ninth, if the indie
pcndcnts who expect to vote with us in
November will go to the primaries. We
have, think, good chance in the two
doubtful South Baltimore wards. To my
mind the outlook is not discnurayin~ and
that is the conclusion reached to-day BY
nearly all the ward leaders. The organi-
zation forces are preparing for the fight

a great male market, and thousands are
yearly shipped from there to cities in the

mules, putting them in condition for mar

within a few miles of great seaportS: and
the farmers do all their own selling. The

PRIMARY ELECTION RE.
FORM.
X l.,

An article under the above caption
in the Rcricn eff Revic,rs for September
suggests food for thought. 1t treats
of a subject that is of vital importalc,.
to every citizen, and certainly appeals
strongly to us here in Maryland and
particularly i'll this county where we
have recently had illustration of how
Republican politicians will trample
upon the rights of the minority when
they think they can do so with impu-
nifty.
We quote the following from tie az
ticle referred to above:
''If the universal corruption of pri-
maries or caucuses were aot well
known, illustrations from all our large
cities mi ght be given. But however
bad the primary now is, it is no worse
than the elections once were. And
when we consider the great advance
made in ten years with the Australian
ballot and in the civil service, it in
spires the hope that the reform Of the
primary can be brought about ii the
people intelligently organize to obtain
it. In fact, great advance has already
been made. 1t was only few years
ago that the caucus and primary were
regarded as purely voluntary organ
izations with which the law should not
in any way interfere. Now there is a
general recognition of the right Of the
State to provide for the government
of primaries.
Mayor Quincy, of Boston, in let
ter referring to the successful efforts of
the friends of caucus reform last winter
In that city, says:
az am very strong and convinced be
Hever in the idea that the law should reg
ulate political parties and their caususes
and conventions, giving the member of
party the same protection in the enjoy
ment of his rights which is given to the
voter at the polls. We have been moving
quite rapidly in this direction in Massa-
chusetts in recent years. The beneficial
results of caucus reform in stimulating
the interest of the voters and calling out
ready been amply demonstrated in this
city, and public opinion here is unques-
tionably in favor of carrying the rcgula-
tlon of caucuses to the full extent
There is also gratifying growth OF
sentiment among leaders of men from
all walks Of life in the direction of the
idec. that the primary is as the late
David Dudley Field has said, the
pivot Of reform 1t is surprising to
find that church organizations like the
Christian Endeavor and Epworth
League have advanced much farther
along the line OF practical politics than
the average municipal reformcr. The
labor leaders have stood for Years Oh
the practical platform. Within Il week
letters have been received from such
men as John Willis Baer, National
Secretary Of the Christian Endravor
Society; +. \. Schell, Natl onal Organ
izer OF the Epworth League; W. Is.
Prescott President international Typo
graphical Union: NJ VI. Garland, Presi-
dent Amalgamated Association Of Iron
and Steel Workers, and F. j. McGuirc
National President ofthe United Broth
erhoOd Of Carpenters and Joiners, all
expressing themselves strongly on the
Importance and necessity Of primary
