The record Of the last days Of the
reign of Victoria is not easy to tell
The representative of The Associated
Press was the only correspondent al
mitted to Osborne house and his inter-
view with Sir Arthur John Bigge. pri-
Vate secretary to the late Queen was
the only official statement that had
been given out. For several weeks the
Queen had been failing.
ON Monday, week. she summoned
Lord Roberts ana asked him some very
searching questions regarding the war
in South Africa. on Tuesday, she went
for a drive. but was visibly affected.
on Wednesday, she suffered paralytjc

BIG MONTH FOR WHEAT.

At the close Of business on Saturday at
the Baltimore Customhouse Collector Will
liam F. Stone announced that during Au-
gust there had been exported from the
port of Baltimore G,669,9S1 bushels of
wheat This is unprecedented and estab-
fishes the high-water mark. August, 1897,
held the previous record. In August of
last year 321 ,O31 bushels were exported
and the total expectation for the entire
year was 1851, 75s bushels, only 1,OS7,1S
bushels more than was exported during
the month just closed.
Collector Stone said that the majority
of the wheat went to Belgium and the
Netherlands. The foreign demand is pro-
badly caused by failure of crops abroad
and the low freights for which steamers
could be chartered, the rates being from
2 shillings 6 pence down to 1 shilling 9
pence quarter, taking Rotterdam as a
basis. Collector Stone was very much
pleased at the amount of business done in
this line, which shows that Baltimore is
one of the most active points in the
country on grain.

REPUBLICAN RING RULE.

"The Republican organs throughout
the State" says the Wicomico Neus
''are making a great howl about Dem
ocratic rings and bosses. They made
the same howl IN 1895 and many dem
ocrats were foolish enough to listen to
it and vote for Lowndes and his gang
from Western Maryland. After a
trial Of four years they were glad
enough to turn the rascais out and
elect Democratic Governor and Leg,
is.ature. The Republicans are trying
the same trick this year, but we do
not think it will work. A fair exam.
pie of what the Republicans of West
ern Maryland think of the cx Governor
and his gang can be gained by read
ing the article from the Baltimore
Sun" of Tuesday last, in which Gen
cral Sprigg, one of the most widely
known citizens in the State, has to Coy
on the ljcct. The General says:
"Alleghany county finances are in a
most deplorabe state No honest man
will pretend to deny the fact for a mo-
ment. The present Republican machine
or ring produced this condition of af-
fairs, and under it we cannot hope for
any change for the better"
We have no doubt that the same
story covld he told in reference to
every County in the State now under
Republican control We certainly
know the ones closest to us, and where
we have an opportunity to see some Of
the workings, are in about the same
condition as Alleghanv.'

A GOOD YEAR FOR MARY.
LAND FARMERS.

The present year has been a good one
so far to the Maryland farmer It is true
that the wheat crop was perhaps below
the average, but that deficiency, if any,
is amply made up hy the excellence of
other crops. The copious rains since
of the State have made the best corn crop
In many years. The wet season has also
made splendid pastures, which have
promoted dairy products and the growth
and good condition Of live stock. There
has been a fine growth of tobacco, but the
present damp weather is unfavorable to
that crop, and much of it may rot i'll the
houses There is also good fruit crop
of Importance, because the peaches and
apples of Maryland are important crops
and sell annually for a great sum. The
use of refrigerating warehouses in recent
years has added enormously to the mar
ket value Of apples, and now that fruit is
one of the most profitable of crops. The
trees bloom late in the spring and the
young fruit is not often destroyed by
produce abundantly for 40 or 80 yeals,
the only drawback in the crop being the
long time which must elapse after an APP
pie tree is ;lanted before it will bear
fruit
The large corn crop in the State comes
at most fortunate time for our people.
1t is estimated that the corn crop of the
United States will fall short of that of
last year by nearly one-tnird, or anywhere
from seven hundred to thousand million
bushels. Not only this, but the supply
present time than it was year ago. This
does not indicate proportionate loss to
the farmers, for in many cases what is
lost in quantity is made up by the increas
ed price. The price of wheat in Balti-
more at this time is nearly the same as it
was year ago, while the price of corn is
from 10 to 10 cents a bushel higher. This
means that farmers will get better price

their corn, and perhaps that the unfortu-
nate jewellers in cities will have to pay
more for their meat during the coming
winter. But while people who work for
wages and salaries will suffer to some ex-
tent on this account, it is general rule
that when the farmers are prosperous
their prosperity is communicated to every
branch of business. When the farmer
has money to buy goods the city stores
are busy selling to him and the factories
must employ more labor to keep up the
supply.
Not in many years have the farms and
the country generally in Maryland looked
so verdant and beautiful at this season of
the year as they do at present. Instead Of
dry and parched pastures, there is lux
uriant crop of clover and all kinds of grass
on the fields. Foliage of every kind, OK
eept where destroyed by caterpillars, is as
luxuriant as in the spring The corn fields
are still Of a dark green color, promisin g
an abundant crop of fodder for the winter
use. The landscape is rendered still more
beautiful by the bright autumn flowers
around the homes, the goldenrod in the
fields and by apple and peach trees loaded
with bright colored fruit Baltimore Sun

GOOD ROADS.

The National Good Roads Associa-
ton will hold an international congress
at Buffalo, Sept. l6 81. This associa-
lion, in cooperation with the Illinois
Central Railroad and the Z. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, has just complet-
ed a very successful campaign IN
Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee,
Kentucky, and Illinois. Over twenty
miles of earth, gravel and stone roads
were built and several conventions
held. Thousands of people flocked to
see the practical work of the "Good-
Roads Train and to participate in the
deliberations There is need enough
of such work. TIE report of the in
dustrial commission on the distribu-
ton of products points ont the fact
that the cost of hauling farm pro-
ducts over country roads is estimated
at s90O,0O0,O 600 year, or more than
the entire cost of operating all the
railways of the United States, which
is placed at 1913 100000. 1t has been
shown by careful inquiry that the
average haul of the American farmer
in getting his produce to market or to
the nearest shipping station is II
miles. The average cost per ton for
hauling over the ordinary country
roads is % cents per ton per mile. or
SO per ton for l2-miIe haul Careful
estimates place the total number OF
tons hauled at 100000 per annum,
and the average haul, at II miles,
making the total figures s900,0OO,OOO
per annum.

pose of getting into politics. and seems

pose of getting into politics, and seems TO
have succeeded.
The Treasury Bureau of Statistics and
the other departments of the government
service continue to receive proofs of the
growing foreign trade of this country.
and of the increase of cordial relations
between this and other nations. This
regard to the adjacent islands of the West
Indies Information from the Treasury
Department shows a growing disposition
on the part of the island of Jamaica to
trade with the United States, until now
we have the bulk of the islands commerce.
The facts and figures given out have an
added interest because Jamaica is a British
colony, and the data comes from the
British colonial report The value of eN-
ports shows constant increase from the
island to the United States, and where
Great Britain has almost a third of the
Jamaican exports in 1896 she gets now
less than one-fifth, Americans taking the
rest. Her imports to the island are also
decreasing steadily in proportion to the
volume of trade while the United States
gain.
Another trade gain for this country is
shown in the latest advance sheets Of
Consular Reports, obtained from the State
Department. One of them shows the
largest single item Of trade between our
country and Korea is kerosene, which for
the past year amounted to almost million
dollars. The Americans have lately been
annoyed by the importation of inferior
oil into Korea in the tins and cases in
which their own product had been i'm
ported into Japan. Orientals have no re-
spect for unregistered trademarks or laws
against deliberations, so the only redress
is to employ reliable agents and to main
tain strict surveillance over them. The
imports of kerosene other than American
amounted to about 100000. or a little
more than one-tenth of the American
trade.
