A VERY interesting game OF ten
pins took place last evening in the
bowling alley Of the Young Men :
Republican Club. The game was
between members Of the y, NJ. {.
A and the Y. NJ, Il. c., IN which
the latter won. Since the bowling
alley has been put in the club house
it has made affairs llyeler. 1t Is
astonishing how much interest is
taken in bowling by the youLg men
Of this city. Bowling contests are
almost nightly occurrences in sew
eral clubs. The highest score held
in our city is by Edward NJ. Hopes

THE Powers that have China
within their grasp are going to eX-
act an indemnity from that country
that will take forty years to raise.
1t is proposed TO levy an annual
house tax, equal to one hall Il
month S rent, which, it's calculated
will provide 20, 900, OUO taels yearly,
sufficient TO pay per cent interest
on 25,O0O, 900 taels and clear the
whole principal IN less than 40
years, Some OF the Powers are
greatly averse to compelling China
to contract loan Tor the payment
OF the indemnity.

The Nations Slain.

President Mckinley is in his tomb. lie
whom the people loved and hOnored,a nd
who were honored and loved by him, has
passed from earth amid the angulshed
tears of the nation No purer, kindlier
man, in high place or low, could have
been chosen as mark for the poisoned
bullets of a vile and cOwardly assassin.
He died as bravely as he had lived,
submissive to the will of Coda soldier,
patriot, statesman, Christian, lover hus-
band.
The nation is bereaved; the people
mourn, grief deep and inconsolable is
theirs for president wise and good kind
and gentle, loyal and true, brave and
resolute.
The bonds of friendship, of confidence,
of comradeship, between William Mckin-
ley and the people were closer than with
any other chief executive, except the
martyred Lincoln. He had no personal
enemies among those entitled to the
CIJIZeUsulD, anu uChChtc vi
the great republic assailed by anarchy.
From the common people he rose; he
never forgot, but loved and trusted
them to the end, even AS they loved and
trusted him. Whatever may have been
the opposition to his political policies,
this opposition did not extend to the
personality of William Mckinley. All
classes knew him as pure and upright in
public or private life, an American of
Americans.
In his home life the murdered pres-
dent was the tender and loving husband,
the shield and support of fragile flower
through many years.
The sympathy OF the world, so freely
given to the bereaved nation and heart
broken widow, is as sincere as it is de-
served. Their loss is great, their sorrow
deep and lasting.

The Corn Crop Shortag e.

The New York Herald has been max
Ing a thorough and remarkably COM
plete investigation of the conditions of
the corn belt, which includes the states
of Ohio, Indiana. Illinois, Missouri. Kan
Sas, Nebraska and Iowa, and finds
that according to present indications
the yield of these states will not exceed
40 per cent of the average crop. The
Heralds reports are later and supple
ment the governments August crop
report, which estimates the yield at 81
per cent, $50 per cent lower than the
corresponding date last year. Accord
ing to the governments August report
the lowest yield was in Kansas, where
the condition of the crop was repre-
scented by the figure 10, though there
appears to have been some improve
ment since Aug. l. In Missouri it was
%, in Nebraska SO, in Illinois 81 and in
Indiana and Iowa 81 These percent
ages indicate crop for the whole cOun-
try of about 1,300,000,OOO bushels, as
against more than 2, 100, 100000 bushels
last year.
The Herald concludes from its adj
vices that except in Kansas there have
been serious losses particularly east of
the Mississippi since the governments
report was issued. 1t concludes that
the yield for the whole country will
not go beyond 1,1C0,OOO000 bushels.
The following table shows the prob
able yield in the various states of the
corn belt which have been affected by
the drought, as compared to the actual
yield of last year and also the total
corn product of the United States:

Professor Triggs Again In Eruption.

Professor Triggs Again In Eruption.
Professor Triggs has broken out
again. This distinguished parsonage, 1t
viii be remembered is the professor of
literature in the University of Chicago
who a few months ago declared that
Mr.. Rockefeller was a bigger man than
old Shakespeare or words to that eff
feet. This. however, was not regarded
as a particularly serious break, as the
professor was probably a candidate for
higher salary in the excellent institu-
chief benefactOr.
But in his recent Outgiving, in which
he declared before a class Of summer
school students that the poetry Of
Longfellow and Holmes is trivial and
unworthy of consideration, he has not
the excuse of self interest How can he
hope to gain anything by robbing these
dead and gone poets of the laurels
which have been bestowed upon them
by the world?
1t is rather strange that it should
have taken so many years to discover
that neither Longfellow nor Holmes
was worthy the name of poet and that
only this Chicago professor should
have made this discovery. According
to this distinguished literary critic.
''The Psalm of Life" and Excelsior
are stuff anG @drivel" and all that
LOngfellOw wrote was "the outgrowth
Of the old New England Primer and
the Bay State Song Book, which latter
is mere dOggerel. From a further analy-
Sis we are informed that LOngfellow
could not be a great poet because of
this environment of PuritaniSm. "Pu-
| ritanism is inimical to art" But we are
also informed that LOngfellow "was
too cultured and refined to be truly
American" 1t was certainly a stroke
Of genius to bring culture and refine
ment and Puritan doggerel into such
close conjunction.
Great is Professor Triggs as a liter
airy authority! Let US hope that he
may continue steadfast in the work of
enlightenment to the end that the pub
lie understanding on these matters may
| become clear and sound

France, which seems to be getting
excited over the prolonged delay Of
Turkey in settling certain indemnity
claims, has given Abdul uamid a good
sharp nudge. 1t is declared that NJ
DelcasSe, the French minister Of for
eign affairs, has given formal notice to
the Turkish ambassador at Paris that
the sublime porte must make immedi-
ate and satisfactory reply to the French
demand. Doubtless the authorities of
tie republic Of France have noted the
recent compliance with American de-
mands for indemnity for damages in
f1icted upon the interests of certain of
our citizens in the Karput riots and
therefore have decided to follow Uncle
Sans lead in the business of collect

The New President.

President Roosevelt becomes the ex-
ecutive head of the government young
and unexpectedly; but he comes as a
man of experience. The country is safe
under his guiding hand. Impusive
though he is, be realizes in all it's fullness
the responsibilities OF government de-
volving upon him. He will do his best,
and the best with Roosevelt is a great
deal.
The new president caught the conf
dence OF the people at once in his an
nouncement that he would succeed the
murdered Mckinley not only in name,
but in deed, and carry out his policies.
He testified to his sincerity when he in
vited every member of Mckinley's cabi-
net to remain with him.
To follow a president so universally
beloved as was William Mckinley is a
trying situation for any man, but it is
believed that Theodore Roosevelt will
meet it and conquer, as he always has.
His unbOunded courage and exalted
patriotism; his keen intellectual ability
and sturdy common sense; his activity
and capacity for hard labor, and his I'M
doubted honesty and uprightness will
stand him in good stead in the trying
times before him.
There is no weakling at the head of
the American republic.

China Affair Still Unsettled.

Dispatches from European capitals
and from Picking make it evident that
the powers are still a good way off
from a thorough settlement in China.
Great Britain withhOlds her signature
to the agreement ostensibly because
the international commission for revis-
ing the Chinese tariff is unsatisfactory
to her, and at the same time she is
moving for an opening up of some of
the subjects which the powers had
practically agreed to let alone for the
very reason that no agreement was
possible. 1t is quite evident that our
government and Great Britain have no
understanding with regard to this mat
ter, as other powers have assumed,
since Mr.. Rockhill is ignorant of the ma
ture of the British objections to the
tariff commission.
1t is year since Picking was reliev-
ed. The powers find that it was easier
to relieve the embassies than it has
been to agree as to what should be done
with the country. If difficulties are to
be made now, however, it is not at all
strange to see them emanating from
Great Britain. Her position with re-
gard to territorial prospects is bad,
whereas that Of Russia is decidedly
good. AS the United States government
has no territorial aspirations it is in a
of China.

Grand total ,1O3 223, 900 2,1O5, 1O2, SIG
While none of these estimates can be
regarded as wholly accurate they are
sufficiently near the truth to show that
we will have considerably less than
half a corn crop this year, which is a
serious loss to the whole country. Corn
will be so high and scarce that it is
doubtful if any can be exported. The
lack of food will lead to. reduction in
the drOyeS of hogs, and we shall eX
port a smaller amount of packing house
products. The losses entailed by the
drought in the great corn belt, while
they may not be regarded in the nature
of a national disaster, will naturally
result in a marked decrease in volume
of the country's trade.
Happily in most if not all of the
states where there is a shortage of
corn there is diversity of crops, most
of which are abundant, so that the
losses will not fall with great severity
upon any section Of the country.

The Chicago Tribune says that the

agreed to report to the commissioners
Of their association all cut rate con-
tracts with shippers of freight to and
from Colorado and Utah But one rail-
way official is quoted as saying that

for this is that, while it is true that
these contracts are illegal, being made
in violation of the interstate commerce
law, the railroads have assumed a
moral obligation which they will not
disoWn." This moral obligation"
grows out of the fact that in many
cases the shippers have made contracts
