tisement now it ever had. 1t notes the
singular fact that the consumption of rice
per capita in this country has decreased in
the past century, and that the American
people use. to the family, only half as much
rice as in the earlier half of the century
reasonably supplanted by wheat and, to
some extent by potatoes. The TimesDem-
ocrat, speaking from knowledge, says the
merits Of rice as a food have not been over
stated. and thinks it is now only a question
of letting the people Of the country know
to bring it into the favor it enjoyed a CEN
tury ago.

CLEvELAND'S SALARY DEMAND
Treasury Warrant the Ex-President
Has Never Collected.
New York Times.

New York Times.
Ex-President Cleveland possibly has in
his possession demand upon the treasury
Of the United States, and perhaps may at
some time hereafter decide to present it
for liquidation. 1t is a warrant made out
by the treasury, for a balance of salary
earned but not drawn by him. This does
not intend to be a paragraph complaining
of the indifference Of the United States TO
it's creditors, but something entirely differ
ent. The President gets his salary once
month In order that he shall not get more
than the $4,000 each year to which he is
entitled, the checks or warrants are so
made out, according to table in the treas
ury, that in quarter he shall get two
checks of $4,l66.66 and for one month a
check for 81, 1861 That arrangement would
bring him out all right if adhered to-
When Mr.. Cleveland was President one
of the clerks in the department of book
keeping and warrants forgot that he had
sent two checks for q quarter for 81, 166. Go
and made out the third for the same
amount. When the discovery was made it
was too late to withdraw the wrong check
and substitute a new one. In order that
the President should be fully paid a new
check or warrant for l cent was made out
and duly sent to the White House. Nobody
in the treasury knows what become Of
that check after it reached the President.
1t has never come to the treasury. 1t may
have been destroyed, or it may have been
framed as a curiosity. Such small evil
dences of debt are not entirely unknown
in the treasury, for the assistant secre-
taries are still getting large salaries for
devoting a part of their time to signing
checks for amounts as small.
When one has established his right to
take money from the treasury, it is not
hard to get it. In order that the books
shall be right every cent and fraction of a
cent must be represented by papers signed
and countersigned by many officers. Mr..
Cleveland's cent has remained in the gen.
eral fund, TO be used for purposes as the
government needs cash to eXpend. 1t will
accumulate no interest while in the treas

A NATIONAL DISGRACE.

The Chicago Tribune has compiled some
statistics Of lynchings which in their mag
nitude and suggesuveness are appalling.
When it is remembered that a.lynching is
a cold-blooded murder and that every one
is participated in by a large number Of
persons, the statistics almost justify the
inquiry. are we a nation of murderers? The
statistics cover a period of sixteen years,
from 1885 TO 1900. inclusive, and they show
that during that period there were 2,5l6
lynchings in forty States. The only States
that have not had a case Of lynching since
1855 are Delaware. Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, Rhode Island and Utah. 1t
would be interesting to inquire whether the
immunity of these States from the disgrace
the better control of their passions by the
people, or whether it is merely accidental.
The lowest number of lynchings in any one
year since 1885 was 107 in 1899, and the high
est was 236 in 1892. The year 1901 has still
four months to run. yet the total number
of lynchings and burnings at the stake has
already reached lis. The completed year
Der of 2,516 lynchings, in sixteen years,
1850 were perpetrated in the Southern
States and 4S6 in the Northern. OF the
victims, 1878 were negroes, sol were whites,
q were Indians, were Chinese and were
Mexicans. Among Southern States Missis-
sppi leads with 253, and among Northern
States, it must be said to her discredit, is
Indiana, with Sc. New York had 2, Penn
sylvania 8, Ohio Is, Illinois IA. The crime
seems to be mainly confined to the Southern
and Western States, though no other West
ern or Central Western State shows as
many as Indiana Discreditable as the fact
is, it may as well be admitted and faced.
The mitigating feature is that there has
been a decrease in the number of lynch
ings in the State in recent years, though
there were five in 1897 and three in 1900.
These statistics and the general condition
of lawlessness which they disclose are cal
culated to make law-abiding citizens blush
with shame. More than that, they are an
alarming indication as to whittier we are
drifting. In the hands of foreign critics OF
our institutions they would be unanswer-
able. With what consistency can We talk
about magma charta, habeas corpus and
trial by jury when we are hanging and
burning men without trial at the rate of
from 125 to 200 year? With what show of
reason can we maintain the superiority
of republican institutions when both the
national and state governments are power
less to suppress lynchings?

Germany has become the land of syndi-
Gates" says the report Of the British consul
general at Frankfurt. Though some of
the giant trusts of the United States may
enjoy greater power than single trusts in
Germany. there can be no doubt that syndi-
Gates in Germany are more numerous than
elsewhere. and that here the idea OF syndi-
Gates has been carried TO very considerable
length. There hardly remains a branch of
trade the members of which have not COM
bined for the regulation of prices or even
for the regulation of the quantity of out

A well-known man in this city whose
business makes it necessary for him to un-
derstand the condition of the corn crop,
has just returned from an extended trip
in this State and Illinois. His judgment
after going through many corn fields and
examining the growth is that Indiana will
have over half an average crop. and that
Illinois will have three-fourths of a crop.
A Chicago jobbing house which made a
canvass Of 500 counties in the States suffer
ing the greatest damage to the corn crop
found that only 215 counties reported the
outlook for business poor. while the others
reported that business would be fair to
good during the fall and winter. A gen.
orally better feeling has prevailed through
out agricultural sections the last two
weeks
