TILDEN,s PREDICTION.
FOresaw the Vast Increase in Corn
~ Production.
rnn-ai -A..n-L. L Llcno.a

Philadelphia Ledger.
About week after the return from Eu-
rope OF Samuel j. Tilden in September,
1877, he delivered an address from the steps
of his house at Gramercy park An i'm
promptu, spontaneous gathering of many
of those who hadS voted for hun for pres
ident the year before was the OCCASION
Governor TiTden did not refer to politics:
HIS theme was c.the opportunity OF the
United Statesi for increasing It's. foreign
markets He had discovered in Europe, he
said, that 1t would be possible to make
a great market for Indian corn, provided
the American farmers would only cultivate
that market He excepted Ireland, stating
that In Ireland it would be impossible for
many years, probably, to overcome the pre-
judice against American corn, because the
people of ireland attribute the scourge OF
cholera in 1S4S 20 the use of corpmeal sent
from the United states to relieve those who
were suffering from famine. Governor TIL
den said that he would not live to see the
day when the American farmers would be
found to have raised as many as ,OOo,OOO'OOO
bushels of corn, but he thought that Amer
lean farming should be so developed in the
course of a generation that from 3,0oO,OOO.-
900 to 1000, 100000 bushels OF corn would be
harvested in a single year.
Some of those who heard Governor I'll
denis impromptu speech were disappointed,
because they hoped that he would make pol
itics his theme, abiding to the disappoint-
ment OF his party that it had been unable
to seat in the White House the president
the party was convinced 1t had elected.
Others thought that the governor was talk
ing wildly, not having given due consider
alton to what he was saying. But II 1t
should prove to be the fact that the Amer
lean farmers this year have harvested aOOO'-
OO0, 900 bushels OF Indian corn, then the pre-
djction made by Governor Tilden that this
would be done in generation's time Will
have been almost exactly fulfilled.
In the offices of some Of the railway
companies, particularly those In the vicinity
of Forty second street, much qualification
is expressed over; the probability OF the
corn harvest SO far as the railroads are
concerned, that will go far TO make good
any falling off in the harvest OF wheat.
Preparations are now we'll under way for
securing and placing at convenient points
all the cars that may be needed for the
transportation of the harvests, particularly
in corn, Some of the railway officers are
confident that no matter how large the
demand for transportation may be 1t will
be we'll met by the railway managers so
that there will be no congestion OF traffic.

Warming on Car shortage.
Gr,anuflald nanuhiican

IPIEIItHININI 1N0P ~137IN0-I1'
Fears of a car shortage this fall exist
here and there in railroad circles. The
American Railway association, a sort Of
joint statistical bureau Of the railroads
of the country, Is sending out warnings
not only to the roads. but to the public.
Shippers are urged to make all possible
shipments as early as possible lest they
be overwhelmed in a traffic congestion
when the crops come into full movement.
This reads rather curlously in the light OF
all that is being said of business depres-
sion and railroad traffic decline.

Hilliker had lent his hammer to Dea-

woman's an adventures, but how am
to find out, and Cyril getting every

claimed some civilized country-but
Poland, where / haven't friend-or
even an enemy!"
John Nichols and Cyril Thornton
were close friends. Nichols, much
the elder. and Cyril's sister were to
have been married, but she died.
Nichols was lawyer from New
York, and in the interest of client
was now in Los Angeles. Cyril, re-
covering from typhoid, had come
with him for quicker convalescence.
Everything had been going on
smoothly when their train met with
an accident.
They had escaped injury and saved
the life of a beautiful woman. The
woman, whom Cyril thought the
very grateful apparently very frank.
Her name. she said, was Marie
Laska; she had been a widow two
years. Her fatherAand she said this
with lowered voice-was deep in
Polish politics. He had sent her
away fearing she might come under
suspicion. She never would have left
him, but illness had made another
northern winter dangerous, and she
had taken a small house near Pasa-
dena. She intended to live in retire
ment and have complete rest be-
fore returning to Poland. But these
two friends, they must come to see
her whenever they could spare the
time.
1t was surprising how much time
had been spared by both, for Nichols,
unwilling that Cyril should spend
days and evenings alone with the
charming foreigner; found himself in
