Dunn's Review, Of September 3, says /:
There is no room to doubt that the wheat
crop, even though it may fall shade be-
low some estimates, viii prove the largest
ever harvested, and though Beerbohm esti-
mates Europe crop at 232, 900, 600 bush
els more than the last, that would be only
about an average yield, while other evil
dence is less favorable. Foreign buying
has been strong, SO that Atlantic exports
for the week have been 3, 326, s78 bush
els, against 5, 534, 1853 last year, and Pa
ci6c exports 458, S81, against 258, 651
last year. But receipts at the West are
increasing, and the price has dropped 5
cents for spot, though the September OPP
ton is even-eighths lower for the week.
Corn has fallen a fraction, later reports
indicating less satisfactory yield, and
probably not more than should be con-
sumed at home in enlarging the stock of
animals

Our friend and fellow pilgrim, Mar
Gus Alonzo Hanna, never has been

elcqus.lce is of the cloakroom and dark
cabinet variety, and il has been suffi-
GENTLY effective for such valuable uses
as he has cared la PUT it t.. Since his
latest expensive victory Tor sound

retiring and reticent than usual AT
first we were inclined TO asCribe this

have fancied the man OF coal and iron
plaeidly amusing himself alone. listen
irg to the cabling gursle of an ap-
proving conscience; because We have
reason To believe that he has the east
est one on the Senate floor. But We
were mistaken, Ii is that Marcus has
gone into the pension business. and is
trying TO take care Of his Southern Re
publican Convention creditors in that
way when he cannot give them offices.
Perhaps he likes the business. and pos
sibly he secs in il only one of those
burdens which come with true great
ness. Probably IL is 4 little hard FOR
him IL times To live Up 10 the exalted
level Of his reputation. In remote dis
tricts, he il regarded as the boss of
Congress. as well as ofthe Administra-
ton. His admirers believe that he has

THE INCREASE OF DEGENERACY
Science Charged by Scientist With
Being the Cause.

Chicago. Feb. 3.-Dr. j. II. Kellogg,
a scientist Of Battle Creek, Mich, in
an address delivered here Tuesday
night. under the auspices of the Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union,
asserted that degeneracy is increasing
| and that in 1000 years une-third Of
the race will be insane. Vegetable
diet and exercise are the only hope Of
the people. DR.. Kellogg said in part:
Diseases have become more viru-
| lent than ever before. Crime is in
creasing at a frightful rate. These
facts are proved by statistics The
number Of insane and the number Of
feeble minded per 1000 is nearly three
times as great as fifty years ago"
Dr. Kellogg here gave table show
ing that in a little more than 1000
years one-rhird Of the population will
be insane. All classes OF detectives. he
declared are on the increase. one

which might be termed the sedentary

The doctor said that an example OF
the increase Of crime is 70 be noted in
the failure Of the government of cities.
Almost the entire power is now vested
in the mayor he said. because the
people cannot trust the aldermen.
In former times cholera. the black
plague and other dreaded visitations
acted a q stay to degencracy. These
diseases spent their forces upon the
weak. the coasumptives. those with i'm

great advantage of the rest Of the peO-
pie. Now We are protected by a sani-

When the doctor reached the ques-
ion of foods he made a strong plea for
strictly vegetable diet. He gave an
instructive table. showing the total
values of various articles of
