THE government has issued it's final
estimate of the corn crop of the coun-
try for tine year 1908. The total pro-
duction is 2,642, 6S7, 900 bushels being
IN average yield of 26 2-10 bushels per
acre. This is three-tenths of bushel
more than the yield of 1907, while the
quality of the corn is also far better.
1t is also three-tifths of a bushel more
than the average of the past ten years
The quality is 2 6-10 per cent. better
than the ten-year average. The total
yield Of Pennsylvania was 55,Sl4,0O
bushels, or an average of 499 bushels
to the acre. Our state yield is the
largest per acre of any Of the corn
growing states, and the quality ha
rarely been better. The crop for Tia,
entire country is the third largest il
our history.

If ever man had reason to pray to
be delivered from his friends that man
is the Rev. Mr.. Horsman Who has just
resigned from the Baptist church.
While some of his most liberal sup
porters and active workers in the
church have differed with him in mat
tiers OF Judgment they have neverthe-
less had the kindest feelings toward
him and there is no one in the church
and congregation but who was ready
to give him hearty God speed to a
new and larger field. Had the matter
of the resignation been taken up in
the regular way through the official
board of the church he would have
gone without any unpleasantness of
any character. Unfortunately, he was
ill-advised in the matter, and to cap
the climax a man whose profession
should have prevented the action fur
nishes an article for the press that
cannot but have the effect of injuring
the man whose praises it sets forth
and also cause bitterness and dissen-
tion in a religious body.

at once and we have arranged for a

State Comptroller West accompanied
the Governor and the State Treasurer

Governor Fort remained the greater

needs of the work could be thoroughly
understood. He expressed himself as
surprised at the magnitude of the in

effect upon the mind. Set down in

clear conception; seen, for the first
time, the impression produced by it
cannot be put into language. The

THERE is a clash between the Gov
ernor and the Civil Service Commits
sion over the appointment Of Super
intendent of the Railway Reformatory
to succeed Captain Martin, deceased.
The Commission holds that the Office
comes under the civil service rules,
while the Governor maintains that
the superintendent is the head of a
department and not subject to rules.
Tie Governor is a member of the
Board of Managers of the Reforma-
tory, and declares that the board will
name the superintendent without in
reference from the Civil Service Com
mission. But Mr. Colby, of the Com
mission, is not satisfied, and wants
the opinion of the Attorney-G General.
The selection of a superintendent
should be trusted to the Board OF
Managers, whose Judgment of qualif-
cations ought not be confined to set
rules of an examining body not re-
lated to the institution. -Camder

Curing RaIkx Horse.

There are many guaranteed" recipes
for curing balky horse, but it is this
writer's experience that it requires
more than one recipe very often to eff
feet the cure So it is well that many
cures are at hand. Here is one from
the Breeders Gazette: Withhold water
from the horse the first day, hitch him
up and if he refuses to pull keep him
thirsty to the second day. In most
cases the horse is then willing to work,
yet in bad cases the water has to be
withheld for three days. Care should
be taken not to let the horse have too
much water when he starts to work.
1t is better to give him it several times
and only little each time. Never wa
ter the horse until after the work for
the first two weeks. After that he will
pull willingly at any time.

TEMPORARY HOUSE RoLLCALL
OUT.

The temporary rollcall of the House
of Representatives for the sixty-frst
Congress has been completed and pub
lished. 1t presents complete list oi
members of the new House as shown
by unofficial returns, and gives the
politics OF all of them.
According to this publication. the
next House will consist of 219 Republi.
cans and 172 Democrats, total of 391,
as against total OF 3S9 in the House
during the last session. of whom 22G
were Republicans and 166 Democrats.
The result is a net loss of four from
the Republican side and net gain of
six on the Democratic side, the dis
crepancy being due to present vacan-
cies.
ALI told, the Democrats gained
seventeen districts and the Republi
cans twelve.

The farmer is through with practi-
cally all of the farm machinery for this
season. Have the plows been thor
oughly cleaned and creased and
housed? Have the cultivator shovels
and drill hoes been cleaned, polished
and placed in the dry? The moving
machine, hayrake and binder should
all be placed under cover and kept
there in good condition for next years
use. This practice not only makes the
machinery last longer, but 1t will save
the temper next spring. If there is
ever any cause for show of bad tenn
per let it be laid to rusty tools and ma
chimes which have stood without prop
er cleaning since they were used the
previous season.

THE Court of Errors and Appeals on
Monday handed down several deci-
sions of Importance. One decision
wiped out the claims of the Lehigh
Valley Railroad Company and the
Morris Canal and Banking Company
for tax exemptions under their chart
ers. 1t was generally expected that
the companies would lose this suit,
but the fact that they did is none the
less satisfactory. The Glass Blowers
Union lost their long fight against the
injunction in the Minetola case. The
Court sustained the injunction against
picketing and violence. Another de-
cision exempts the property of non
residents from the collateral inheri-
lance tax. The property affected was
shares in a New Jersey corporation.
This is good public policy for the en-
forcement of the tax would be a bar to
outside Investors who might want to
buy shares in local companies.

retained by him during his term as
Sheriff in excess of his salary of $40, 900
a year, under a decision of the Court

Tells Large Audience In ST. Peter's
Church ofEmanueI Movement.
In an address on "Religion and
Medicine" by the Rev. Elwood Wor-
cester, rector of Emmanuel church in
Boston, to a large audience in ST.
Peters church on Wednesday evening,
he told of thu" Emanuel Movement
and made the assertion that if there
was any portion of the Bible that
should be accepted as true and anthem
tic it was the first three gospels, tell
ing Of Christ's healing of the sick.
The speaker asserted that Christ
handed this power of healing over to
his disciples but the church had al
lowed that power slip to away.
DIR. Worcester said that men are be-
ginning to believe there is more in re-
ligion that they have been getting out.
The more religion does for a man,
the more he gets out of it, the more
he thinks of that religion. The speak
er told of his work with drunkards
how eighty or more out of ninety had
been restored to their families and
friends.
We must get back nearer to the
life of Christ" said DR.. Worcester,
we must be sincere and accept the
kind of life He led"
There is only one thing that will sat
isfy and content people-the living fol
Others and serving others. The only
part Of mans life he can look bach
upon without regret is that spent il
the service of God and man. We art
not making sufficiently personal ant
practical application of our religion.

Greatest Vote Ever Given Presiden-
tial Candidate.
A tabulation of the vote of New JeT.
sey for presidential electors at the last
election, made by a reporter of the
State Gazette" from returns in the
office of the secretary OF state, with
the missing returns of the state gotten
over the telephone by the Estate Ga
zette " shows that William Howard
Taft received at the election plural
ity over William Jennings Bryan Of
S2,3S9, or the greatest plurality the
state ever gave presidential candi-
date.
This Taft plurality even beats the
former high-water mark for Roosevelt
OF four years ago, when the Roosevelt
plurality ran up to the unheard-of
figures Of S0,598. The Taft plurality
beats the Roosevelt plurality by 1,791.
The vote for presidential electors at
the last election will be found to be as
follows Republican, 265, 1879; Demo-
cratic, 182,800; Socialist, 1929; Ma
tional Prohibitionist, 1890; Socialist
Labor, 1,l96, and Independence party,
2,911.
The returns show that the Socialist
vote gained 662 votes in four years.
The Prohibitionist vote fell off 1,915,
or nearly 30 per cent, and the Socialist
Labor vote lost 1854 in five years, or
about 60 per cent.

ago and carried on to the erection Of
the Sunday school part of the structs
ure, where the church has since held
it's services.
From "The Record " we quote:
The Record is in receipt of the fol-
flowing testimonial to Rev. Mr. Hors-
man from Rev. Issac M. B. Thomp-
son, moderator Of the meeting:
Mr.. Horsman is held in the highest
esteem by the great body Of the mem
bership and congregation of the.
church. He is one of Gods noblemen,
richly endowed, devoted in spirit,
fearless in utterance of what he be-
lieves to be the truth, and about three
years ahead of his age in some of his
views of social and political condi-
lions, and the relation of the church
| thereto. Time will prove that his
| light in regard to the mind of Christ
concerning oppression and the liberty
whereby Christ will set all free in His
Kingdom, is greater than that of some
who are in variance with him in these
matters. His fundamental principles
are correct, although some of his
staunch friends may differ as to the
application of principles, matter in
to which he has not largely entered in
public discourse He has tried to
show that "a man is better than a
! Sheep" that manhood is more than
property; that industrial conditions
today are blight upon the manhood,
womanhood and childhood of millions,
and that there is such thing as the
spirituality of the ballot" He is
right. The church must face these
! inquiries, and throw off the yoke of
men and women who would control
action and speech in the pulpit by
dollars in the pew.
! Mr.. Horsman has accepted call to
the First Baptist Church of Williams
port, Pa, church of $50 members,
and the leading church in the North
cumberland Association. He has an
increase of salary, and a noble body
of intelligent Christians to lead, as he
has had in the passionate in Toronto
and here in less numerical degree.
Wherever he has been he has had the
support of the majority of the church,
In the course of two or three years
those who have differed from him will
see a great light.
