Circulation This Week, 2,
CONGRESS is not likely to put iron and coal on the free list since the government revenues are running about §10,000,000 a month behind now.
THIS year Florida raised 3,000,000,000 fe oranges and with California not far behind, the United States leads the world in the beautiful golden fruit.
CLEVELAND HAS fallen from his high estate even in New York. Last week a plaster bust of Grover Cleveland was discovered in ex-Boss Hugh McLaughlin's ash barrel. The ex-boss is earnestly explaining that he doesn't know how.it came there.
SENATOR DAX YOIUIEES has made another flop. He is now as violently in iavor of silver as he was against it last rear. He is also opposed to the President's policy on iron and coal, which he favored last summer. The pie has disappeared from the Presidential pie plate and Demagogue Daniel is now howling against trusts, combines, etc.
JOIIX K. GOAVDY, of Rushviile, is being mentioned as tlie Republican -candidate for Governor in 1896. He has a good record as chairman of the State Central Committee in b©th 1892 and 1894. He is a successful business man, a polished Christian gentleman and has a fine war record. Jack Gowdy is one of the common people, and yet equal to all emergencies. He would make a good candidate and a fine governor.
THE young lady who drew $10,5Q0 out of a bank in Cincinnati yesterday and was shortly thereafter robbed of it by having her valise snatched from her on the street, acted very unwisely in taking the currency. She should have taken a draft or drawn on the bank for the money. As it is, she has perhaps lost every dollar she had. Her fate should teach the lesson that the safest way to do business is through banks by checks and drafts.
THE country's circulating medium already consists of seven sorts of money— gold, gold certificates, silver dollars, silver certificates, greenbacks, Sherman notes and national bank bills—of the denomination of a dollar or over. Secretary Carlisle's proposition would add two r^ore sorts of money—another kind of national bank currency and State bank notes—to this number. Carlisle's plan is not in good working order yet, however.
THE agitation of the removal of the State University from Bloomington to Indianapolis is now being seriously convsidered and a bill will be introduced into the Legislature to that effect. The removal should be made. There are very many reasons why this should be done.
Let the State University be located at or near Indianapolis and then an Indiana University be built up that would redound to the honor, glory and benefit of all Hoosierdom. All the alumni with whom we have talked favor the Indianapolis location.
ON account of the recent hostile Legislation toward Germany by the Democratic Congress American trade will be still 1 further injured. Oar reciprocity treaty was wiped out by said legislation and then Germany shut out our beef and pork, then dried apples and now German g: legislation will shut out cotton seed oil by raising the duty from §1.00 to $2.50 per gallon. From 1885 under Republican legislation its use increased from 142,0^0 pounds to 600,000 pounds in 1893.
The United States should pursue s6ch a i"'.legislative and commercial course as would hold our home market and extend our trade in many foreign countries.
ALABAMA in order to encourage the 1 building of cotton factories and other industries that State is trying to put a iFV-«bill through the legislature, exempting ^jtliem from taxation for a few years. ^They have seen that home markets and home industries are the best. Light is ^'breaking in the South politically. There
W
were
several openings made in November
Pf viz,-North and South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri and even fSvTexas elected one Republican congressjp^man, the first in her history.
M. W. Howard, Congressman elect from the Seventh Alabama district was elected on a protection platform for home industries and labor. He says the Bourboa Democracy if the South is shattered.
IN the Kansas election, E. N. Morrill, Republican, for Governor received 148,697 votes L. D. Labelling, Populist, 118329 David Overmyer, Democrat, 26,709 votes. That shows that the Democrats are the third party in Kansas and not a very good third either. It does men who believe in party principles good to see such men as Overmyer, overwhelmingly beaten. As young men, he and his brother, John Overmyer, now of North Yernon were members of the Knights of the Golden Circle in the hills of Southern Indiana. Later they cast their lot with 1 and worked for the Republioan party until that party quit giving'John good offices. Now both are Democrats and out for the spoils of otfice, but such men who are continually flopping for the sake of '.office, justly have tUe contempt of men of all parties.

HICARAGOAH CANAL.
Its Construction Advocated by Senator Morgan.
HIS BILL BEFORE THE SENATE.
Argument Produced Why the United States ^Government Should Build the Canal* Shall Cuba Become an Independent Island -Nothing Important Transacted in the House—Senate and House.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.—Mr. Harris (Dem., Tenn.), president pro tem, called tlie senate to order yesterday in tlxe absence of Vice President Stevenson, who has not yet returned from Asheville, N. C.t where he is with his family. Senators Hill, Blackburn and Carey were in their seats for the first time this session.
Mr. Call (Dem., Fla.) presented a resolution setting forth that the independence of the Island of Cuba is an object of great importance to the United States and requesting the president to commence negotiations with Spain for the recognition of the independence of tho island and for the guarantee by the United States of the payment, of such a sum of money as shall be agreed on between the United States and Spain. The resolution went over.
Mr. Call also presented a resolution declaring that tho further prosecution of the war between China and Japan will not be advantageous to the peace of civilization and that the intei'ests of the world require that all governments shall unite in negotiating with Japan and China for the termination of the war. Without discussion the resolution was referred to the committee on foreign relations.
Mr. Allen (Rep., Neb.) called tip his resolution intended to expunge a portion of The Congressional Record and send a resolution introduced by him last July to the attorney general. The latter resolution called for information concerning the Pullman strike. This resolution has passed but was reconsidered on motion of Mr. Pugh of Alabama. Mr. Allen bitterly assailed this action and also attacked the attorney general, to whom he attributed the action of the Alabama senator. Mr. Allen also criticised the action of the attorney general during the strike.
Mr. Pugh (Dem., Ala.) vigorously defended the attitude taken by Mr. Olney, and pointed out what he regarded would be the impropriety of demanding the information asked for in the resolution. He declared that the position of the senator from Nebraska was unreasonable and untenable.
At 2 o'clock the whole matter went over and the senate, on motion of Mr. Morgan, took up the Nicaraguan canal bill. The bill was read at length. Mr. Morgan began his remarks by making a general statement of the national and international aspect of the subject, upon which the senate and house bills agreed. Careful calculations, he insisted, showed that the canal can be constructed at a cost that would yield a remunerative profit that it was a necessary improvement that it would be of the greatest importance to the United States that it could be operated, and there was nothing to render impossible concessions made by fci^e Central American government to the citizens of the United States.
Finishing this general statement the senator devoted some time to the discussion of the characteristics of the country through which it is proposed to build "the canal and its advantageous route as compared with that of the Panama canal route, and asserted that no such improvement could be given to commerce as the construction of this necessary completement to the Suez canal. The route is feasible, the engineering work easy, and there will be no extraordinary work required on any place on the whole route.
Mr. Morgan quoted from the report of Chief Engineer Menocal, who estimated that tho canal could be built for $65,000,000, and said he thought that the expenditure of the $4,000,000 already spent had demonstrated that the actual cost would be even lower than that estimated by Mr. Menocal. The two houses of congress practically agreed that the cost of the canal would be about $70,000,000, and the guards and restrictions to be thrown around the expenditures were matters of easy adjustment. The manner of raising the money was a question of expediency that should not be allowed to affect its construction.
He argued in support of the proposition that contemplated government ownership in the canal. England owned stock in the Suez canal, and why should not the United States own stock in the Nicaraguan canal. Government ownership was the only means by which the government could exert its influence over the canal for the protection of its citizens except by force. The canal must be built under the fostering care of some government. We must act now, or abandon the canal to its fate. To abandon it now was a responsibility he was unwilling to assume and a dereliction to the people would not forget.
At the conclusion of Mr. Morgan's speech, Mr. Mitchell of Oregon briefly expressed hie hearty approval of the scheme to build the canal, and said hs thought there was no great difference among the people regarding the propriety of the work of construction.
The senate then, at 4:15 p. in., weiit into executive session, and at 4:30 p. m. adjourned. 111
the House.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.—The house devoted yesterday under the rules to the business reported from the District of Columbia committee. Several bills of purely local importance were passed and a resolution was adopted setting aside the third Saturday in January for eulogies on the life and character of Marcus D. Lisle, late a representative from the Tenth Kentucky district.
A joint resolution was also passed to pay the officers and employes of the house and senate their salaries for the present month on Dec. 20.
The featuro of the day was a speech of about 40 minutes by Champ Clark (Dem., Mo ). He had his time extended several times and made a rambling talk on tariff, his late deleat and many other matters, being frequently interrupted by Republicans, who gibed and laughed at his statements. The latter part of his remarks had no bearing on the subject under discussion.
After passing a few local bills the house adjourned.
BIG FIRE IN CHATTANOOGA. ffbe Southern Hotel Kntlrely Destroyed, Entailing a Loss of $130,000.
CHATTANOOGA, Dec. 11.—While the guests of the Southern hotel were seated at dinner yesterday a heavy explosion shook the building from basement to roof, followed by a deadly silence, and then the cry of fire rang through the corridors like a trumpet call. Instantly a panic reigned, men and women rusned through the halls completely bereft of presence of mind, for the smoke and flames came up the elevator with such incredi table rapidity that everyone recognized not only their personal effects but their lives to be in peril.
Aside from a large number of transient guests there were permanently in the hotel between 40 and 50 people, including among them several newly married couples who had recently taken suites for the winter. Among the latter was Mr. and Mrs. John Pitner who had only yesterday morning returned from their bridal trip. Mrs. Pitner, nee Carter, of Athens, had just finished spreading her wedding presents about the room, valued at several thousand dollars and had gone down to dinner when the fire started. The presents and her handsome trosseau were destroyed. Two other newly married couples who had at tlieir own expense furnished apartments in the house, lost all their furniture and many wedding gilts. Elegant gowns were possessed by the majority of the ladies in the hotel and the value of such articles destroyed is placed away up in the thousands.
C. S. Todd, ticket agent of the Southern railway, opened his door to bo confronted by a sheet of fianie. In frantic fright he leaped through the glass window, being badly cut by the glass and injured in the fall.
Many ladies were rescued at the last moment by firemen. Among these was Miss Mary Robinson of Chickamauga. She was rescued by H. B. Childress, manager of the postal telegraph.
Business men who had valuable papers and personal effects in their rooms offered large sums to any one who would make an effort to get their things but only two men dared volunteer.
Within an hoar the building was gutted and a wreck. It was erected in 1887, and was formerly known as the Palace, being opened first by Voight Brothers of Cincinnati. The ground was leased for 99 years from the Nashville and Chattanooga railway by the Peoples' estate, who estimate their loss on the building and furniture at $130,000. Insurance, $75,000.
FIRE IN A CLOTHING STORE.
Several Inmates Have a Narrow Escape From Death. LOUISVILLE, Dec. 11.—Fire broke out
at 4:45 o'clock yesterday afternoon in the large clothing store of Levy Brothers, on the corner of Third and Market streets, and for a time promised to be a disastrous one. The building is a largo 5-story brick, and was wTell stocked. The flames, which started in one of the large front windows that was being dressed for the holidays, spread rapidly and soon communicated to the elevator shaft in the front of the store. Three alarms were turned in, and in a short time the entire fire department was on the ground. The store was crowded with customers, and a panic ensued. The store filled rapidly with smoke, and it was with great difficulty that it was cleared. A number of women fainted and had to be carried out of the building.
On the fifth floor were eight employes including one woman, Miss Kate Fogarty. Seeing that every avenue of escape had been cut off from below, they made their way to the roof. A shout went up from the crowd below when they were discovered and a ladder was quickly run up by the firemen, but it was found to be too short. The little group on the roof was beginning to despair when James Lee, a boy, secured a ladder near the flagstaff and fastened it to the roof, but it also was too short to reach the roof of the Turf Exchange adjoining. Lee still kept a cool head, and at the risk of his own life, he ran to a wire and cut it in half. Then he pulled enough of it in to suit his purpose. Attaching one end of the wire to the ladder, he caught hold of it and slid in safety to the roof of the Turf Exchange.
Encouraged by this daring deed, the others, with the exception of Miss Fogarty, who was too weak to move, followed the boy and reached the roof in safety.
Miss Fogarty was later rescued by firemen. She was badly burned about the face and her hands were cut by falling £lass. Her condition is not regarded as serious.
Louis Brown, the window dresser, was injured internally. The loss by fire and water to stock and building will probably reach $50,000 fully covered by insurance.
Financial Crisis in Newfoundland. ST. JOHNS, N. F., Dec. 11.—A finan
cial crisis prevails here. The Commercial bank of Newfoundland has closed its doors, and several Newfoundland commercial firms have failed, including Edwin Duder and John Street. The Union «ank suspended payment for a few hours for the purpose of arranging to meet the expected run. The immediate cause is the suspension of Prowse, Hall & Morris of London, financial agents of Euwin Duder and other firms.
Result of a Drunken Quarrel. ASHLAND, Ky., Dec. 11.—Andrew
Hackworth, shot by Hiley Rosenbaugh in Lawrence county, O., opposite this city, Sunday, is dead. Rosenbaugh was arrested here and is jailed at Ironton. The Bhooting was the result of a drunken quarrel, Hackworth refusing to apologize for striking Rosenbaugh with a stone.
Damage Covered By Insurance OMAHA, Dec. 1J.—The building ot the
Consolidated Coffee company, 22 Harney street, was gutted yesterday evening by fire, entailing a loss of about $100,000 on stock and structure. The guests of several large hotels in the same block were frightened from their quarters. The damage was covered by insurance.

STATISTICS OP CROPS
Returns Made to the Agricultural Department.
FARM PRODUCTS AT HOME.
Comparison of Prices and Conditions With Previous Years—Corn Higher Than Last Tear While Wheat Is Lower Than It
Has Been For Twenty-Five Years—Prices and Condition of Other Cereals.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.—The returns to the statistical division of the department of agriculture for the month of December relate principally to the average farm price of the various agricultural products on the first day of the month. By farm prices is meant the price of product on the farm or in the nearest local or railway market. In comparisons of these prices with commercial quotations allowance must be made for cost of handling, transportation, profits of dealers, etc.
The farm price of corn averaged 45. cents per bushel, wliioli is 9.1 cents higher than the corresponding price of last year which was 36.5 cents per bushel. The price 0.3 cents per bushel higher than the average price for the decade 1S80 to 1SS9, and is just 4 cents higher than the average fur tho tour years 1890 to 1893.
The average price of wheat is 49.8 cents per bushol, the lowest price in the past 25 years. The price is 33.9 cents less than the average for the years 1880 to 1889, and is 22.1 cents less than the average for the four years 1890 to 1893.
The returns make the general prico per bushel of rye 50.5 cents, which is 1.3 cents lower than the price at tho same date last year.
The average farm price of oats as returned for Dec. 1, this year, is 4.1 cents higher than for the corresponding date last year, being 32.9 cents per bushel against 28.8 cents Dec. 1, 1893.
The average farm price of barley is 44.3 cents per bushel, against 40. cents for the year 1893, or again of 3.7 cents. The price for 1892 was 47.2.
The average price of buckwheat is 56.2 cents per bushel, against 59 cents for the year 1893, or a decline of 2.8 cents.
The returns show the average price of hay to be $8.35 per ton, while that of last year on the farms was $9.18.
The average price of tobacco is returned at 6.7 cents per pound, against 7.8 cents last year, a difference of 1.1 cents. The average farm price in Kentucky, which is the state of tlie largest production, is 5.5 cents per pound, or 1.2 below the average for the country.
The selling price of potatoes on the farm on Dec. 1 is reported at an average of 55.5 cents per bushel, or 4.5 cents less at the same date last year.
The average plantation price of cotton, as shown by the department's report on Dec. 1, was 4.9 cents per pound, against 6.99 cents for the same date last year and 8.4 cents in the year 1892, a decline from the prices of these year.respectively of 2.09 and 3.5 cents per pound. Tne lowness of these prices is without precedent.
The condition of winter wheat on Dec. 1 averaged 89, against 91.5 in the year 1893 and 87.4 in the year 1893. In the principal winter wheat states the percentages are as follows: Ohio, 93 Michigan, 92 Indiana, 86 Illinois, 91 Missouri, 92 Kansas, 73 Nebraska, 7G California, 92.
The return of the correspondents of the department make the acreage of winter wheat sown last fall 103 per cent of the final estimate of the area harvested in 1894, which wras 23,518,796 acres. A figure larger than the preliminary estimate given out in June last, which, upon further investigation was found to be too low. This preliminary estimate therefore makes the area sown for the harvest of 1895, 24,224,000 acres.
SEVEN PEOPLE DROWNED.
Five of the Victims Were on a ^Mission of Mercy. OELWEIN, la., Deo. 11.—Littleton, a
