FRIDAY, AUGUST 9. 1895.
INDIANAPOLIS has r. bicycle tax and derives a revenue of 8S,000 a year therefrom.
OREGON horse-meat canners say an equine which is worth only S3 or §4 on foot is worth $35 to S10 when canned. If this be true, the industry will spread rapidly.
H. CLAY MEKRITT, of Illinois, has recently been fined in sums amounting1 to $110,000 for selling quail and other game out of season. If the game laws of Indiana were thus rigidly enforced the exchequers of several counties would be materially improved.
IN* common fairness to a man who has many other burdens of sin to bear the Lafayette Courier wishes to go on record as expressing'the unprejudiced opinion that H. H. Holmes is in no way accountable for the mysterious disappearance of Daniel W. Voorliees.
EVERY citizen of Indiana who can possibly do so should attend the dedication of the battle monuments, commemorating the valor of the State's brave sons, on the field of Chickamauga, on September 18, the anniversary of the sanguinary struggle on that historic spot.
THE Louisiana Senators are said to have declared, in a conference with Secretary Carlisle, that Louisiana will be carried by the Republicans if the sugar bounty now withheld is not paid io the planters. Louisiana has had her fill of free trade foolishness and should enroll herself permanently in the Republican column.
GEORGE YVESTINGHPUSE has confirmed the report that his establishment has consolidated with othe great Baldwin Locomotive works, and that hereafter the two concerns will work towards developing apparatus for moving trains by electric power. Motors for electric engines intended to take the place of steam engines will be constructed on improved patterns. Mr. Westinghouse says that there is an increasing demand for electric locomotives, and he thinks they will become the chief motive power of the future.
THE Democratic editors who at Lake Maxinkuckee resolved to remain on this side of the silver river are still in camp under the shade o. the olive groves waiting for the repair of the ramshacklin bridge. Those who mutinied and refused to remain under the umbrageous shade marched oft' down to the water's edge, where they stand yet in the hot broiling sun, hesitating, and who seem unwilling to risk their precious necks on the tottering structure which spans the stream. What the Democratic party of Indiana now needs more than anything else is •a gang of good bridge carpenters.
U. S. (JOIXAGE LAAVS.
The Reform Club has just issued, as No. 17 of its "Sound Currency" series, a careful compendium of the coinage and currency legislation of the United States from 1792 down to the present time. The work covers three distinct fields—laws relating to coinage, government currency, and bank currency respectively—and in this pamphlet of 4b pages is contained the full text of all important federal legislation upon these subjects. The whole is carefully annotated and provided with a comprehensive summary of the coinage provisions and an index. The pamphlet can be obtained by sending five cents to the Reform Club office, 52
Williams street, New York City. Every reader of THE JOURNAL interested in the financial discussion should send for
CORN' IS KING.
Corn is king this year in the United States. The estimate of the railways is a total crop of 2,400,000.000 bushels, while those who figure on the basis of the government reports put it 25,000,000 less. It is at least a quarter of a billion bushels ahead of the largest crop of the golden cereal ever harvested before in this country. .Though the crop is not yet harvested, the possibilities of damage that would altar the above figures are small. Nearly two and a half billion bushels of corn, and almost all of it will be consumed in the United States in feeding live stock and as human food! Our exports of corn are but trivial when compared with the enormous quantity produced.
In 1800, with a crop of 2.112,000,000 bushels, we exported a littie over 103.000,000 bushels, which was but 4.S5 per cent, of the total crop. The per cent, of the crop exported was 1.15 in 1891, and 3.72 in 1S92. The larger the yield the larger the export, as a rule— which goes to show that we carefully keepjwhat we need, and the surplus only is sent abroad. The Chicago Ctiwniclc, in discussing the volume and price of past crops, takes a very sanguine view as to the price of the corning crop, despite the enormous production. it says:
The larger the crop the lower the price as a general thing, though the average price for the great crop of 1SU2 was nearly as high as for the minimum crop of 188S. It is true that the total value of the maximum crop of 1890 was nearly $100,000,000 less than that of the far smaller crop of 1891, but on the other hand, the total value of the great crop of 1892 was $82,000,000 greater than that of any other year. Experience, therefore, does not necessarily discourage the expectation that the growing crop will bring more than any former crop brought, while the fact that last year's yield was the smallest since 1874 goes directly to encourage such an expectation. It is not impossible that the value will average 35 cents even if the crop reaches the 2,400.000,000 bushels estimated by the railroad men, and in that case the total value will be no less than $840,000.000.

Last Tuesday morning was all that uncle Thomas llerrel could ask or wish for, as it was the ilay for the old soldiers' reunion at his place. The ground had been cleared of all underbrush and old lofjs in the grove in front of his house. Arrangements had been made to accommodate all that might come. A string of tables had been made a hundred and fifty feet long, which at noon "fairly groaned" under its weight of all the good tningsof the land that the ladies could think of to cook and make the table look tempting to a hungry man. The day was given entirely to the old soldiers and it was well taken up with telling of the hardships and trials of soldier life. Uncle Tommy Herrel was presented with a fine gold headed cane, which token of esteem so filled his heart that all the reply he could make was: "Old comrades, I thank you all." There was plenty of ice water on the ground to quench everybody's thirst. This makes the fourth dinner of this kind the soldiers have had. The number has increased from a mere handful of soldiers till on last Tuesday there was 107 soldiers present, and there must have been 2,000 people altogether and everybody had a grand time without any exceptions.
