FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1895.
THE Supreme Court has decided the fee and salary law valid. In the case taken up from Vigo county last Spring the court has refused an application for a rehearing. This is the end of the case.
A FARMER in Eastern Pennsylvania has harvested 8,001) bushels of potatoes on thirty-two acres of land, and his brother's crop on twenty acres is 4,800 bushels. The United States this year will omit its usual large importation of potatoes, as the crop throughout the country is enormous.
THE St. Louis Olobe Democrat writes at length editorially to show that the county fair is in its decadence, and that it is being supplanted by the expostion. Whether this is true or not, yet there can be no question that there is a change of taste constantly going on in the matter of public amusements, as well as a developmens of new conditions of life. There was a time when the county fair met a definite want and was a pronounced success. Is it so now? This is a serious question and one which fair managers must recognize and solve. It seems that the time has come when the displays usually seen at county fairs fall short of meeting the popular demand. The people in their advanced state of progress, education and change of tastes call for something more elabor,orate, picturesque and interesting. It may be that the World's Fair spoiled the people. No matter wfiat you call it. The public mind is no longer satisfied, and new ways and methods must be devised to please and keep the crowds in good humor. If this is not done the days of the county fair is about numbered.
IN the two years, seven months and thirteen days of the Cleveland administration the expenditures of the government have exceeded the receipts by $132,640,912.64. The expenditures were 8969,851,153.03, and the receipts $836,210,240.59. The October deficit has reached $10,477,442.89, and the deficit for the present fiscal year now aggregates $20,362,101. The President and Secretary Carlisle: have decided that it is necessary to recommend additional taxation and will propose to add a tax of $1 per barrel on beer, and to revive the war tax on bank checks. Whatever may be 6aid of such a plan to meet an exigency brought about by Democratic folly and incompetence. It would certainly furnish one more demonstration of the unhappy condition to which the country has been reduced by the assault on a tariff policy which encouraged and stimulated home industry. There is nothing in this proposition which will tend to make more popular the Democratic scheme of taking off the taxes which foreigners have paid for the privilege of selling in this market, and then imposing increased taxes on American production, trade and cohsumption to make up the deficit.
IT is announced that ex-President Benjamin Harrison is engaged in writing a series of magazine articles for the Ladies' Hovie Journal, in which periodical they will begin in the December number. The series will be called "This Country of Ours," and will consist of iten articles and probably more. The papers are being written by General Harrison especially for women, to meet a growing, widespread desire on itheir part to intelligently understand the workings of our Government and the great National questions. It will be the aim of the articles to explain in the clear and concise 6tyle for which the ex-President is famous, just what the United States Government means the origin and meaning of the Constitution how laws are enacted and enforced what the powers of the President and other oifi-cials-are what 'the judiciary system means how our ^foreign relations are brought about and their meaning how Congresstand the Senate legislate,—in fact, a [complete explanation of the Government told in a popular way. General Harrison writes the articles from the standpoint of a citizen who understands hisgsubject. They have no bearing on politics whatever. While directly intended for women, the articles will naturally have a much broader scope and likewise interest men, and especially young men.
TOM COItWIX'S FAMOUS SPEECH.
A correspondent of the New Yoi Sim ventures a correction of the quotation from Tom Corwin's fatuous speech to which that paper had recently alluded. The correspondent says:
In the several references to the expression which have been printed of late in the '-Sun" there has occurred a false quotation, and as I have before me now, in a rare collection of Mexican war documents, the entire "speech of Mr. Corwin, of Ohio, on the Mexican war, delivered in the Senate of the United States, February 11, 1817," I quote verbatim that part of the speecli which contains theiexpression. "Sir—Had one come and demanded Bunker Hill of the people of Massachusetts, had England's lion ever showed himself there, is there a man over,13 and under 90 who would not have been ready to meet him? Is there a river on this continent that would not have run red with blood? Is there a field but would have been piled high with the unburned bones of slaughtered 'Americans before these consecrated battlefields of liberty should have been wrested from us? But this same American goes into a sister republic and says to poor, weak Mexico. "Give up your territory, you are unworthy to 'possess it. I have got one half already all I ask of you is to give up the other. "England might as well, in the circumstances I have described, have come and demanded of us, 'Give up the Atlantic slope give up this trifling territory from the Alleghany Mountains to the sea it is only from Maine to St. Mary's, only about one-third of your republic, and the least interesting portion of it.' "What would be the response? "They would say, we must give this up to John Bull. Why? 'He wants room.' '•'Tho Senator from Michigan (Mr. Cass) says he must have this. "Why my worthy Christian brother, on what principle of justice. "I want room. "Sir, look at'this pretense of want room. With 20,000 000 of people you have about 1,000,000,000 acres of land, inviting settlement by every conceivable argument, bringing them down to a quarter of a dollar an acre, and allowing every man t® squat where he pleases. "But the Senator from Michigan says we will be 200,000,000 in a few years, and we want room. If I were a Mexican I would teU you: "Have you not room in your own country to bury your dead men?. If you come into mine we will greet you with bloody hands and welcome you to. hospitable graves.'
THE Newaygo News, printed somewhere in Minnesota, asks and answers a very important question: "Do you know what your mouth is? It is the front door of your face. It is the aperature to the cold-storage room of your anatomy. Some mouths look like peaches and cream, and some like a hole chopped in a brick wall to admit a new door or window. The moutli is a hot bed of toothaches, the bunghole of oratory and the baby's crowning giory. It is the crimson aisle to your liver. It is patriotism's fountain head and a tool chest for pie. Without it the politician would be a wanderer on the face of toe earth, and the cornetist would go down to an unhonored grave. It is the grocer's friend, the orator's pride, the dentist's hope and the poor man's drawback. It puts some men on the rostrum and some men in jail. It is temptation's lunch counter when attached to a maiden, a tobacconist's fiiend when attached to a man.
IOWA heads the list in corn production in 1895 with Illinois second, Missouri, third, Nebraska fourth, Kansas fifth, and Indiana sixth. The yield of these States is put at 258,890,000 bushels for Iowa, 238,410,000 for Illinois, 229,849,000 for Missouri, 168,926,000 for Nebraska, 167,909,000 for Kansas, and 125,761,000 for Indiana. These are the only States with production up to the 100,000,000 mark. Last year the yield was 81,344,000 bushels in Iowa, 169,121,000 in Illinois, 116,000,000 in Missouri, 14,000,000 in Nebraska,
42.000,-
000 in Kansas, and 97,000,000 in Indiano. A comparison of these figures with those of 1895 will show the great gain made this year. In the whole country the yield of corn in 1894 was 1,213,000,000 bushels, or only a little more than half of this year's product
JOHN SHERMAN has written a book, his recollections of forty years in public life. Extracts from the advance sheets indicate that it will be readable, but at the same time they show a tinge of disappointment. His attacks on some of the public men who were contemporaneous with him during thife eventful and stirring period will rather detract from, rather than add to his fame. However, it has already produced one surprising'result. Because of these attacks the Democratic papers have all changed their tunes in regard to the integrity of the great financier. They ning in chorus that John Sherman is an honest man. To force a Democratic paper to admit this is something gained.
CHAIRMAN GOWDY struck the nail on the head when he said in an interview: "The real issue in the minds of the people will be the comparison of Gen. Harrison's able administration with the blunders of the present Democratic administration and it is my opinion the people of the party throughout the country are likely to choose as their standard-bearer the man who gave to the people the most prosperous administration the country has ever known."

MISS PAULINE HAM.
Pauline Hall, the empress of soDg, is celebrated the world over as the Representative American Beauty, who has in the presentation of her new operatic comedy, "Dorcas," achieved the success of her eventful life. In a conversation with the representative of this paper she stated: _: ~j 1 "I have in my professional experience essayedfa number of roles that have been more or less trying upon the physical and nervous system, but in none that I have attempted have I ever experienced the terrific strain that the various characters which I assume in my operatic company, 'Dorcas,' have subjected me to. The assumption of one character in a presentation is generally conceded to be a sufficient undertaking for any one person, but in 'Dorcas' I assume three, all different and I might say diametrically opposite to each other. "The terrific strain naturally resulting from such difficult work, which is a new and direct departure from anything that I have ever presented to the public before, naturally had a very distressing effect upon me, and I was

constrained to seek some relief from the mental and physical exhaustion from my labors. After trying several remedies that were commended to me as beiug exceptionally good for the nervous exhaustion which I was subjected to, I was eventually induced to make a trial of Dr. Greene's celebrated Nervura, and the great relief which it afforded me was almost instantaneous in its effect, and I have no hesitation in unqualifiedly endorsing Dr. Greene's Nervura as the best tonic and restorer of a nervous and debilitated system of any remedy that I have ever tested. It is remarkable for the rapidity with which its restorative qualities assert themselves. It is absolutely harmless, and the instantaneous relief which it affords to the nervous and tired sys tem is grateful in the extreme. I can readily understand why it is that many hearty recommendations are given by people of prominence especially those in our profession, for Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and my experience justifies me in recommending it as absolutely the best remedy which I have ever used."

It is not Paradise,
But—
If you have some cash to spare and are willing to work, financial independence cannot be more surely secured than by buying a few acres of irrigated land in Salt Eiver Valley.
This valley is in Southern Arizona, and is noted for its fine semi-tropical fruits and superior climate. Horticulturists say that greater profits can be realized here from oranges and grapes than in Florida or California. Physicians assert that the warm, dry, bracing climate excels in healing qualities Italy's balmiest airs. The great blizzard of 1895 did not blight the tenderest leaf in this protected spot.
To get there, take Santa lfe Route to Phoenix, A. T., via Preseott and the new line, S. F„ P. & P. R. Address G. T. Nicholson, G. P. A., Monadnock Bld'g, Chicago, for illustrated folders.
