thousands Of railroad ties to this city
from up the Ohio river and its trib-
utaries, and taking them from barges
loads them onto cars and transports
them to Carbonate, where they are
processed or picked" to ward off de-
cay and keep destructive insects from
attacking them when they are put to
use. II certainly occurs to people OF
practical minds that it would be a
first rate idea to have a picking plant
right here in Mound City. Such
plant, constructed directly on the rfv-
er bank, would save vast amount of
work and expense in the way of load
ing the ties onto cars and unloading
them therefrom. 1t is to be hoped
the Illinois Central people will take
such project under advisement at
an early day.

POLITICAL DOuBL,E,DEALiNG-

Political conditions and happenings
OF recent date in New Ya'k help to
give special point and Significance to
tie remark made by Senator Depew at
a Uible class dinner the other evening,
that practical politics is. permeated
with the idea that success is largely
dependent upon pretending that you
do not want what you are seeking.
and that you are friendly to the aspr-
ant you are knitting. Leslie's Weekly
is of the opinion that for the sake OF
manliness and deceney in public life
il is t, be hoped that We shall soon
hear the last of the false and vicious
notion that intrigue, trickery and dou-
ble-dealing are necessary fetures in
any sphere of political activity II
was formerly thought that such meth
DDS We're an essential part OF interna
tional diplomacy. but the conduct of
our own state department at Washing
ton has gone far ,lisabuae the world
of that idea. No honest cause has
ever gained by the use of deceit and
falsehood. and practical politics is
no exception to the ule. The politi-
cial organizations Of parties in NeW
York city have been cursed to- often
by the leadership Of men whose ideas
and conceptions Of POLITICAL conduct
and duty have never risen above the
plane of their own immediate and self
ish interests. and who have ever been
ready to adopt any method, however
treacherous and disadnorable that
would compass their personal ends

According to the estimate of H. V.
Jones the corn crop of the United
States will be in the vicinity of !, 900,-
900, 900 bushels this year, the smallest
crop save one in seven years. MIR.
Jones says: "There will be a shrinkage
of the yield, due to imperfect filing,
to lack Of fertilization and to consid-
cradle damage by worm. The seven
states of the Mississippi valley are
estimated to produce 254, 600, 900 bush
els under a year ago. Kansas and
Missouri have l70,000,00O less corn
than last year. Nebraska being the
only important corn state which ex.
ceeds the production of last year, the
increase being about $4,000, 900 bush.

duction will be about $4,000, 900 bush.
els under last year, without further
frost damage. Missouri. on this ba-
sis, will raise less than 10000, 1000
bushels of corn; Kansas has. light
cruop and the shortage is apparent :;
