Acoopn1Ne 10 the reports issued by

ACCORDING to the reports issued by
the government and estimates of 9TH
er experts, the crops in the United
States this year will be the most boun-
tiful in the history ofthe nation. Re-
ports from the grain-growing States
indicate vast yields of wheat, corn,
oats and other agricultural products.
The wheat crop will be 646,6ll 900
bushels if the governments figures are
right. Although the corn is not yet
gathered, it is estimated that the yield
will be 1851 100000, bushels, great
er crop than has ever before been
known in this country. Kansas alone
expects to raise 5OO.OOO,000 bushels
of corn, Indiana 17O,OOO,OOO, Illinois
los, 100000, and even Oklahoma will
turn out 3S,0OO,O00 bushels. The
oats crop is placed at 75o,ooo,oOo
bushels, barley III 100000 bushels,
and rye 100000.
The only drawback to the abundant
harvests that have come to the farm
ers is the low prices that must pre-
vail. Wheat will scarcely bring 70
cents busbel, and when the new
corn begins to pour into market the
price is bound to drop to a low figure.

Our Pious Governor.

There is no branch of the work of
the state government so important
to the people as the charitable insti
tutions. The care of the afflicted is
the highest duty the state govern
ment has before it. This duty should
be done in such manner as to rem
der the best possible service to the
unfortunate ones who are unable to
care for themselves.
Yet the state of Illinois has a gov
ernor who, while making strong pro-
fessions of virtue and piety, wilIfully
and persistently sacrifices the char
liable institutions for the benefit of
his personal political interests, and
to the personal profit of the fellows
who will serve his political ends. The
charitable institutions of Illinois are,
under Yates, merely n personal as
set of the governor. No man can
have n place in one of these institu-
tons who does not have some politi-
cal influence which he eXerts for the
success of the governors machine.
And if an official or an employe has
such influence, it matters not how
grossly incapable he may be or how
fiagrantly he violates even the rules
of common decency, he will keep his
place and have the approval of the
governor, unless his acts are such
as to injure -his political influence.
This system has been carried so far
and the abuses have gone to such
extreme that in the Kankakee asy-
lum the virtue of female patients is
not safe from the advances of re-
spOnsibIe employees of the institution.
And Gov. Yates looks calmly on and
asks only if his political power and
prestige is safe in the hands of these
same employes.-Central Democrat.

morse to fee. And the art of being
cheerful is quite an accomplishment.
Cheerful men and cheerful women, if
wisely cheerful. are always bless
ing. They prolong their own lives
and the lives of those about them.
Jonathan Pencil, writing on this
theme, says:
1.-The grace to face disaster with
smile of hope and front of deter
mination is what makes the man. No
life need be blighted by misfortune.
Blight comes because we let affection
serve as an axis on which we whirl
ourselves into bewildered helpless
ness of woe. If we appreciate fully
that loss of money, health, station,
ambition unfulfilled-all are super
fetal ills, and that the self within is
unimpaired; that trial must pass
away as all else passes away, then
may we cultivate the inward calm
that manifests in outward cheer.
''Cheerfulness is matter of con-
scientious culture. 1t is a branch of
the great root Self-Control, from
which springs all that makes for
true happiness or success. The first
To restrain the impulse toward
gloom and despair is to produce the
averse tendency. The man without
with him. He suggests incompetent
cy to whom he may approach. If he
tries to sell anything his bargain is
sicklied DER with the self-suspicion
that shows in lack of cheer"
Cheerfulness is matter of self
control, he says. 1t is. 1t is easy
then to realize why there are not
more cheerful people in the world
few people can control themselves.
Now this is an epoch when self-con-
troll is more essential than usual.
Life is not the free and blessed eN-
istence it used to be. Business and
political conditions have changed to
such a degree that the battle for
cheerfulness is harder battle.
When the battle for wages and food
becomes more desperate, the battle
for cheerfulness becomes more des-
perate in proportion. With the few
grasping all the wealth of this world
and all of this worlds goods, and
with the many in want, the cultiva-
| IlOn OF tneeTIulutSS DtCOllcS al IlIOD-
lem indeed difficult.
| So we must learn to know that
these are but superficial ills. These
things should not prevent cheerful
ness. Let us away with the iaundice-
eyed. gloomy person who lacks an
index of attraction and who broOds
his life away. He grOwls at his food
and talks dispairingly about his APP
petite; then eats the cucumbers and
ignores the prunes. He then Grams
his interior with all the dainty dish
es on the table and frowns because
he can't make button-hole bouquet
of the flowers which are painted on
the surface of the dessert dishes. He
blows the foul smoke of n bad cigar
about the parlor and condemns the
weather. He gets on the street car
to go to work and makes everybody
near him uncomfortable with his
growing or his scowls. This is the
only individual who condemns cheer
fulness and who enjoys remOrse
Away with him! Let us remember
that though a grin may make as
many wrinkles as a frown they are
not as deep and ugly"

The paper trust is preparing TO
take another twist upon the publish
ers of newspapers and will advance
the price of white paper sufficiently
to enable it to pay dividends upon a
few more millions of watered stock.
Yet most of the republican newspa-

sanctity of the tariff laws under
which this sort of extortion is made
possible. They are making heroic
sacrifice for the sake of politics.
