Chicago, Sept 5.-All previous high

corn crop production of the u. S. in
1899. The canvass Of the eight states
which raise the bulk of the corn in the
u. S. warrants the estimate above that
of 1896, which was heretofore the rec
ord. There is much in the advices re-
ceived to justify the prediction that the
production will approximate 100000

THE PRESIDENTS SPEECH.
His Utterances Now and Two Years
Ago.

At the Home Market Clubs BAN
quet in Boston last night President
Mckinley made a remarkable speech.
1t was in response to a remarkable
toast: Our Mid-Pacific Territory"
1t was queer spectacle to see a
president who less than two years
ago on assuming the solemn obliga-
tons of the office he now holds in i'm
pressive words warned the people Of
the United States against the greed
of territorial aggression; president
who, less than one year ago, declared
to the word that the suggestion that
our war with Spain was urged for
the purpose Of territorial extension
was a reflection upon the honor OF
the United States, glorifying in our
mid Pacific territory, ten thousand
miles away from our capital.
What the President thought was
all wrong two years-one year ago
he now considers not only all right,
but actually conducive to the honor
and interests of the country.
The President has the right of any
other individual to change his oPin-
ion, but it cannot be said to be a
fortunate thing for a country to have
as the chief director of it's policy a
man who changes his opinion sud
denly and radically on questions
which affect very deeply the theory
and the condition of Government
over which he has been called to
preside-Atlanta Journal.

VIRTUE ITS OWN REWARD.

The Charlotte News submits the
following reflections upon the claims
OF the press for recognition in the
distribution of patronage:
In the last campaign the newspapers
did more than any other agency to re-
deem North Carolina. They fought long
and hard. worked early and late and
gave everything in their power for the
success of the ticket They do this
willingly as a matter of principle and
without the hope of reward. They are
thanked profusely by the candidates
during the campaign, but when it is
over they are soon forgotten. What
newspaper man (and serveral of ability
were candidates) has been appointed to
II responsible position by the Legislature?
There are several editors candidates for
the position OF State Librarian. Some
OF them worked as hard as anybody in
the State did for white supremacy and
the success of the Democratic ticket.
And yet Il number OF the Legislators
who were elected largely by the news
papers will probably vote for some man
for the position who never did lick of
work Tor the party or the State. We
hav" no particular candidate, and are
not iog-roIilnG for anybody. But we
believe with Senator Vance that "the
horse that pulls the pillow should eat the
fodder
All that the Nc,rs SAYS of the work
of the newspapers is true, but we
believe that the editor who wants to
make his paper power for good
makes a serious mistake in seeking
favors at the hands of the politicians.
He cannot be an independent man
and do his full duty if he feels he is
eating somebody else's bread. The
office of editor is better than any
position within the gift of the
Legislature, and the less newspaper
depends upon anything but its own
merits for success the greater is its
influence.
We would like to see the work of
the good women and preachers of
the State in the last campaign rec
ognzedi, and think an admirable OPP
portunity is afforded in the can
didacv Of Miss Page, daughter of
Rev. j. II. Page, for the office of
State Librarian. The party GER
t.
thing for the brave stand he took in
the early part of the campaign
when there was so much doubt in
the West as to the stories of negro
domination in the Eastern counties.
The people believed what he said,
for they knew his word could be
relied on.-Reidsville Weekly.
Since the article above was written
a librarian has been elected, and
neither a newspaper man nor Miss
Page was the choice. We agree with
what the ReidSville Weekly says about
editors and office holding and believe
1t Is mighty sorry newspaper whose
editorial chair is not more honorable,
and certainly more independent, il
not more profitable than the average
position within the gift of the

ROWELL TRIES 1T AGAIN.

\ ceaseless worker for trade is
Printers Ink, and yet it displays
neither good sense nor intelligence,
much less courtesy, in its attempts
to get business out of the newspapers
of North Carolina.
The Journal judges this from its
own experience and from the knowl-
edge of other newspapers which have
been subjected to the same methods
of cajolery and intimidation, as
pursued by Printers Ink, in order to
get their advertisements for it's
American Newspaper Directory.
In recent issue of Printers Ink
the following appears:
commenting upon information con-
tanned in Printers Ink and the American
Newspaper Directory about circulation
of newspapers in North Carolina, Mr.. H.
NJ. Holleman, advertising agent, No. 81
Pembroke street, Boston, Mass, says:
"The papers of North Carolina, with
the exception of the Charlotte Ne,rs, are
extremely reticent about giving any in
formation concerning their issues,
neither do they care for foreign adver-
Using. They lack the push and energy,
and the only way any one can ascertain
facts concerning them is to associate
with them. That is how know what ]
do about them"
Advertisers who want to learn ia cts
about North Carolina circulation find
Mr.. HolIeman's method rather slow and
decidedly expensive. Surprising Mr..
HOlleman to be correct, the better
scheme would be for the advertiser to
spend all his money in the Charlotte
Neus
Now the actual reason why the
facts" about the circulation of North
Carolina newspapers cannot be
learned by Rowell or Holleman, is
not due to any desire to hide circula-
ton. which these '.worthies" seem to
think. but because of the aforesaid
cajolerv and intimidation.
The journal furnishes reliable
foreign advertisers nearly every week
with information regarding its cir
culation, and its columns throughout
the year will bear witness whether it
cares for such advertising.
The advertiser who seeks the Char
lotte News will undoubtedly find an
excellent medium, but not simply be-
cause Printers Ink, says so.
The foreign advertiser can do
business with North Carolina news
papers and is doing it, in spite of
Printers I'M; and its constant slurs of
mo circulation" for this or that
newspaper, or the entire State Press.
Printers Ink ought to recognize the
fact. and the sooner it does the bet
ter for its business in North Carolina,
that the newspapers are not to be
bulldozed into accepting its dictates,
and forced into advertising in the
American Newspaper Directory, by
its methods of slurring on all possible
occasions. Bern Journal.

A JUST JUDGE INDICATED.

As already stated in the Sun, the
charge contained in the resolution re-
Gently introduced in the lower House
of the North Carolina Legislature re-
fecting upon Judge George H. Brown,
of the Su perior Court of that State,
was fully investigated by the COM
mittee to which it was referred and
shown to be without the slightest
foundation. The resolution, which
was introduced by Representative
White, Republican. claimed that
Judge Brown had been intoxicated at
reception given the Legislature at
Raleigh by the Capitol Club, and de-
manded his impeachment. 1t was
alleged that it was inspired by a
partisan desire to secure the impeach-
ment of Democratic judge in re-
venge for the action taken by the
Legislature in regard to Judge Nor
wood. about to be tried on the same
charge. The committee examined all
the witnesses named by Mr.. White,
and the charge was so completely dis
proved by their testimony that at the
conclusion Of the evidence Mr.. White
said he was convinced there was moth
ing in the charge, and requested the
committee to report the resolution
unfavorably and to recommend to the
House of Representative that all
record of the matter be expunged
from the journal and that he have
leave to withdraw his resolution.
This action was accordingly taken,
leading Republicans of the House
uniting in expressing regret that the
resolution should have been intro
duced. The Raleigh News aud Oh
serrer, in commenting upon Judge
Browns swift and complete exonera-
ton, says: "Judge Brown is one of
the ablest and best judges in North
Carolina. He is the oldest Superior
Court Judge in point of service on
the bench, and stands high as a man
of character as well as of learning.
This incident will do him no injury,
for the people know him too we'll to
believe that he would do any act to
bring discredit to the bench or dis
honor on the name he Bears The
vindication of this upright Judge from
the foolish charge brought against
him is source of qualification, not
only in North Carolina, but in Balti-
more also, where Judge Browns repu-
tation as a gentleman and jurist is
cherished by numerous friends.-Bal-
