Apres Dreyfus lie De1uge.

The Worlds Wheat Yield.
tLa D;Stc,,1rcy pnsf


This is an interesting question, as we
we are nearing the winter wheat harV-
est in the United States, and specuia-
tors in grain are arranging their plans
of operations. In counting fractions,
according to the compilation OF the ag-
ricultural burea, the grand aggregate
wheat yield last year was2,sso, 600 bush
els, which was $50, 900 bushels larger
than that of 1897, and 1892, 600 bush
els in excess Of the annual average
product during the seven years for
which the United States statistlcian has
prepared comlete dates. There were
| few countries Qike Sweden, Turkey in
Asia. and Cape Colony the production
of which showed a slight decrease; but
| their output was an inconsiderable per-
centage of the total, and the fact re-
| mains that every continent on the globe
| produced more wheat in 1898 than in
| 1897.
| These statistics have an extreme
| practical bearing on the present posi-
ton of the worlds wheat market, and
may be studied with interest by speeu-
| lators. 1t is very likely the American
wheat crop this year will fall far short
of the unprecedented yield of last year,
| but the deficiency may not be greater
| than the excess production of 1888,
which will be carried over into the 1899
| crop year. The latest reports concern
| ing crop conditions abroad are extreme
| ly favorable. and, in view of last sea-
| sons immense production, and its prob
| able contribution to the worlds reserve
stocks, the situation does not suggest
the likelihood of a continuance of such
| activity in the European demand for
| American wheat as that which has
| given this country a commanding po-
| siton in the markets during the past
| two years.
1t is not likely luck or good fortune,
favorable weather and big crops Will
run in our direction always. We have
| to take the chances. This year does
not promise the Astounding agricultural
prosperity of the last two years.

PUBLIC MEN CATECHISED.
Religious Paper Asks Them If They Are
Friends of Christianity.

From the Boston Transcript.
A new campaign has begun in Wash
ington which is giving a good deal
of trouble to some of the men of note
there. The editor of the Christian Her
aid has sent to them a circular letter
in which he says that he wishes to re-
flute the claim of Colonel Ingersoll that
Christianity has lost it's hold upon the
more intelligent or governing class of
the community and to that end he
would be glad to have them answer a
series of questions which he propounds,
such as: Are you a friend of Chris
tianity?' do you regard Christianity
as the most potent influence for the
civilization of mankind?" etc. His
idea is to gather the. answers of our
foremost public men in favor of the
Christian religion and thus face In
gersoll down with an array of witness
es whose testimony will be accepted
by the public as conclusive. The re-
plies of the some of the persons ad-
dressed will be awaited with interest.
Professor Norton used to tell the sto-
ry of a man, who, when asked what his
religion was, replied: That of any
gentleman" But what is that?" mo
gentleman ever tells"
This idea may strike some of those
| questioned as a good way to avoid CIV
| ing publicity to so purely personal a
| matter

brothers, and of female servants, the
police We're called in and searched the
house, finding arsenic in quantities
sufficient to poison fifty men," but all
in his and none in her apartments or
belongings. 1t was afterward proved
by the affidavit of Valentine Blake,
expert for manufacturing chemists,
that about three months before Mr..
Maybrick's death he had sold to Mr..
Maybrick $50 grains of white and two
kinds of black arsenic, of which Mr..
Maybrick, who was known to be a con-
firmed arsenic eater, said: 81 take it
when 1 can get it." On the 14th Mrs.
Maybrick, still unconscious and alone,
without friend in the house, was ar
rested in her bed for murder.
The jury found Mrs. Maybrick guilty
of murder and sentenced her to death.
The sentence was committed to life i'm
prisonment. 1t has always been
claimed by Mrs. Maybrick's friends
that the late Justice Stephen was un-
fair to the accused in his charge, and
that Mrs. Maybrick was convicted Of
murder because of her alleged infidel-
ity to her husband and not upon any
conclusive evidence that she poisoned
him.

A SUGGESTION FROM KENTUCKY.

The Republican spoils hunters of
Kentucky seem to be only half
satisfied with their share of the
5000 offices which the President
lately removed from the protection
of Civil Service regulations, for in
their convention resolutions adopted
yesterday they say:
1--WE commend the present amend
ment of the Civil Service rules by
the President and declare our belief
that further notifications of existing
civil service may be made with
advantage to the public service
In other words, the letting down of
the bars which hitherto have pro-
tected places of public trust from the
raids of greedy and incompetent
spoilsmen, is an act to be commended
by the latter solely in proportion to
benefits derived. The Kentucky
spoilsmen are thankful for small
favors but are clamorous for more.
1.-The Civil Service law was placed
on the statute book by the Republi-
can party, which has always sus-
tanned it, and we renew our repeated
declarations that it shall be thor
oughly and honestly enforced and
extended wherever practicable.
Thus declared the st. Louis plat
form of the Republican party, and in
his letter of acceptance and inau-
gural address the President approved
of the same. But little pledge like
that must not be permitted to stand
in the way when Hanna needs offices
with which TO drive necessary politi-
cal bargains in behalf of his patrons,
the trusts, and their subservient BEN
eficiary at the White House.

"A HINT TO THE WISE" ETC.

Summit county's quartet of ambl-
tious but disappointed statesmen,
Col. H. C. Sanford, DIE Conn, the
Hon. J. Park Alexander, and the
Hon. F. w. Myers of Mogadore, are
either receptive or avowed candi-
dates for the Republican nomination
for Representative.
This is Just what the politicians
who control the local Republican
Machine have been hoping and pray
ing for. Combined on one man, the
big four above named-Alexander,
Sanford, Conn and Myers-would be
invincible at the approaching pri-
maries, but with their forces divided
they will not have enough votes
parcelled out among them to make a
respectable defeat.

The sentiments expressed by the
German-Americanc citizens of Canton
agree with the resolutions adopted
by their countrymen in nearly all
the important cities of the country.
These men know better than most
native Americans what is meant by
imperialism and ill-advised military
alliances, and what they have to say
is entitled to much consideration for
it is prompted solely by sincere
and unselfish regard for the welfare
of their adopted country. They
would have America spared the
ruinous burdens that militarism has
entailed upon the people of Europe.

GERMAN AMERICAN PROTEST.

At a well-attended meeting OF
prominent German-American citi-
zens of Canton, Monday night, reso-
lutions were adopted protesting
against 1.-the unjust attacks of the
so-called yellow press against Ger
many and against the German
Americans"
The resolutions continue as fol-
lows:
1--WE protest decidedly against the
attempts to make our people as
Anglo-SaXon to cooperate with Eng

the motherland of all white inhabi-
tants in the United States.
1--WE adhere to the wise council of
Washington not to form alliances
with England, or any other nation,
the result of which would entangle
this country in useless wars.
1--WE condemn the Philippine wal
of conquest and declare it disgrace
for our adopted country to meddle
with the rights of nations in Other
parts of the world under the cover oil
humanity, instead of rendering an
oppressed people all possible assist
ance for self-government.

Have a Plan to Increase
Membership.
Only Two Meetings Yearly: Those to
be Attractive,

The local camp of Sons of Veterans
is to be reorganized upon a plan that
will greatly extend the membership
and influence of the order. Fewer
meetings are to be held, perhaps not
more than two each year. Attend
ance at these meetings will be made
compulsory. Each meeting will be
the occasion of banquet and every
member will be expected to attend.
D. w. Holloway who has just re-
turned from the State Camp at CO.
lumbus, announces that this plan of
having fewer stated meetings and
making them more attractive has
been very successful at Columbus
and elsewhere. Interest is not per-
mitted to drag. Mr.. Holloway esti-
mates that the Akron camps men,
bership, now about 5S, could be in
creased to at least 200 under such a
plan. Under the new system the S.
of V. Rifles would hold frequent
meetings as heretofore.
Akron camp is now out of debt,
with reserve fund-the first time in
its history.
The officers are: John r. Foster,
captain; w. G. Crawford, first lieu
tenant; b. w. Bruner, second lieu
tenant; M. III. Whitney, chaplain;

was part of the job. The judges
seemed to think so as they changed

Although she was away behind the

the money given to Driver Richards,
who was put behind her. A strong
kick was registered against the driv-
ing of the News Lady. No effort
was made to land her better than
third. She would rush into that po-
sition and then hold it. The judges
were asked to change drivers behind
her but they ignored the request.
After the fourth heat the owner of
the mare wanted to draw her, claim
ing she had the thumps. The judges
did not believe the statement and
she was brought out for the fifth
time. S. M. Burrows, owner of
