A Proper Change.

The Baltimore NewS on Wednesday re-
duced its price from two cents to one. This
is in keeping with the general drop in prices
under the single gold standard. If the Ne'e'
would omit editorial matter, under the changed
price it would attain great circulation. 1t
is good newspaper, and gives usually about
one-half of the important news that appears
the next day in the morning papers. The
SIM will soon follow or 60 to the wall on

Further Proof of Hypocrisy.

The Baltimore SIN and Ners, which prated
so long and loud about purity in politics, have
MOI made any protest against the avowed Pur-
pose of Lowndes and Wellington to purchase
seat in the United States Senate for the
Governor with state and federal patronage.
They saw the Governor prostitute the patron
age Of his Office in 1896 TO make Wellington
Senator, without as much as calling attention

A TRANSFORMED EMPIRE.
Austria of the Present and It's Emperor
Francis Joseph.

Nothing is more wonderful than
the difference between the Austrian
empire that was and the Austrian en-
pire that is. | knew it above 40 years
ago, says correspondent of London
Truth. Then it was one Of the cheap
est countries in Europe, now there
is no country dearer. In this it has
kept pace with Germany. Bohemia
is probably the wealthiest state Of the
Austrian empire. The people there
have always been comfortably off, and
now they are well off. | never came
across a village where the houses are
not far better built than the English
farmhouses and cottages. If there is
no great luxury, there seems to be no
want But agriculture is not the sole
industry. Factories are springing up
everywhere. In all parts one sees tall
chimneys. They are not picturesque,
but they mean energy and the crea-
ton of wealth. The emperor is really
a remarkable man. Practically not
only the foreign affairs Of his empire
are in his hands, but SO thorough is
the belief in his honesty and good
sense that he may be saidto keep the
empire together, He is no longer
young man, and whether the empire
will fall to pieces after him is pos
sible contingency. Nrhe heir is a
young man, whose health is so bad
that he is not likely TO live to inherit
the crown. His brother has only one
specially. He is, by the way, one Of
the best horsemen in the empire, but
this is hardly a gift calculated to keep
the various component and antag
onistic parts of il i'm harmony.

Smaller Than New York State, Its Prod
ucts Are important Abroad.

Roumania is not large country.
Its entire population is materially less
than that of the state of New York,
and its area is 10000 square miles, a
thousand less than this state. Yet it
has become one of the principal grain
exporting countries of Europe.
Since the country was turned into
one of peasant proprietors by the di-
vision of the crown estates, the cult
walton of cereals, and especially of
wheat, has increased largely, and
with it the exports, Last year Rou-
mania shipped from her Danubian
ports 25 per cent. more grain for ex-
port than she did in 1895. and of this
total wheat was the chief item. Last
years wheat crop in Roumania was
20, 100000 bushels, which, in view Of
the size of the country, is enormous.
Nor is wheat the only product of the
Danubian kingdom, for corn or
maize, as it is called there, is raised
to the value of $20,O00,000 a year,
and the product of barley is 100000
tons year, and of rye 100000. The
Importance of these figures will be
seen when it is stated that there is
so per cent. more rye raised in Rou-
mania than in the entire United King
dom, and that the corn or maize crop
in Roumania is larger than in any
European country with the exception
of Austria and Italy. The total grain
crop of Roumania amounts in year
to more than 200,000,000 bushels,
and the average yield to the acre Of
cultivated land is 25 bushels, whereas
it is only 20 bushels in France and
Germany, and only ten in Italy and
Russia. A table appeared some time
ago in one of the European scientific
journals showing the average yield
in bushels of grain to the inhabitant
in various countries. In this com
putation the United States stood at
the head with an average of 40, Den
marx S average was nearly as large,
and three other countries had an av-
erage of % bushels each, Russia Swe-
den and Roumania. The average in
France was 20, in Germany 16, and in
the United Kingdom eight. The low
est of European countries was Swift
erland. The shortage of grain crops
in many European countries has led
to an unusually large demand, of
which the United States, as the chief
grain-producing country of the world,
is getting the largest benefit, but other
countries which have surplus for ex-
port are gaining some advantages, too,
and Roumania is one of the countries
so favored. Unlike the other Danu-
bian political divisions, it has a rail
road system of 1900 miles, and it
has better roads than most of its
neighbors.-N. Y. Sun.
