THURSDAY. AUGUST 1. 1895.

AccorplNG to .the London Times’ crop report, this has been a disastrous year in England. Great Britain imports every year about one-half of her food supply, but this year she will require more. Fortunately for us we will bave plenty to sell. :

TuE fact that the Pennsylvania railroad has ordered ,one hundred new locomotives and will spend $5,000.000 this year in improving its property indicates the pressufe of traflic in the near future. As the business of railways measures the yolume of trade better than anything else. the coming of most prosperous times is foregshadowed in these large orders of one of the greatest railway lines in the country.

ITls REPORTED that William C. Whitney, Calyin S. Brice, John Wanamaker, C. S. Sorg and other wealthy friends of the late Secretary Chase, have subscribed $50,000 to a fund for the relief of his daughter, Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague. Some say it is to make provision for her maintenance, but others say it is to redeem her Washington real estate (her father’s suburban residence, Edgewood) from foreclosure. Either way is a kindly and generous act. !

THE enyelope machine at the cotto“n states and international exposition at Atlanta will be one of the most interesting operatiye exhibits in machinery hall, A roll of paperis started in one end of the machine and' at the other end the complete envelope made, gummed and packed in hoxes comes out. The paper is cut into shape and gummed, the envelopes folded, sealed -and counted and packed all by machinery., The gum is dried on the envelopes by a series of rapidly reyolving fans so that there 18 no sticking together. .

THE brutality of English mobs on election day is not confined to any one party, It was strikingly shown by pelting Rider Haggard, the conseryative candidate in the East Norfolk district, with mud and stones, and by similar treatment of Lady Harcourt, the wife of the liberal candidate, in Derby. But Lady Mountmorres fared even worse at Mile End. As she was stepping into her carriage after the declaration of the poll, an unknown rough in the crowd shouted, ‘‘She’s the one that done it!"’ and struck her in the face with his fist, knocking her senseless. ey

Toe Indianapolis News correctly defines an American as 8 man who believes in making the laws through the legally constituted means; who believes in ablding by the laws when they are made under and over all and through all, believes in the equality of of man; believes in his neighbor hav--Ing the same rights as himself; believes in those rights being determined by a common rule.- Such. a man is -an American no matter whether he 1s born in Germany Russia or Italy and Las not been in this country a month, and a man who does not believe in such things is not anp American though his ancestors landed at Plymouth Rock.

IN THE face of the fact that stock of the Lake Shore railroad sold last week for 154 per share much the higest point in the history of the road which was valued for taxation at $40,000 a mile, the representative of the company, Godfrey Joeger, was before the state board of equalization Friday. He denied the statement of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton people that his road was the best paying railroad in Indiana and said “that the business of the road came from Chicago, Cleyeland, Buffalo, and that the 231 miles in Indiana is the poorest paying section of the road. He said that'the earnings of the road fell off 20 per cent. last year. o 0 »

EXTBENSIVE arrangements are being made for the comfort of the great crowd of visitors who will attend the Cotton States and International Exposition, in Atlanta, in the fall. The department of public comfort has been fully organized and is hard at work. Many new hotels have been socured, and the work of construction on both permanent and temporary buildings, is making Atlanta resound with the music of the bammar and saw. Mr, Alex W. Swith, the chief of the department of pablic comfort, announces ‘that when his plans ar: carried out, - there will be ample and comfortable .accommodation for any crowd that ~ may attend the exposition. = 2t e s o St e g Y. 4 It 18 sTATED that Ex-Congressman Conn, of Elkbart has made a marked impression in Washington journalism by his new morning daily, the Times, “the success of which i 8 now_so evident that it is a subject of congratalation to the Indiana capitalist, who has triomphed over so many adyerse circamstances in a field in which he was comparatively untried. Mr Conn has slready secured a press franchise and ~organized his® editorial staff for an afternoon. paper, which will go as an _ evening edition of the Times. Theex- - congressman giyes his newspaper his personal attention and dominates the émfi. A e RL, %

MRs. LELAND STANFORD is quoted as saying that the crop of grapes on her California estate this year will be from twelve to fifteen thousand tons that about eight thousand tons can be sold as grapes and the rest must be made into wine and brandy or be ‘thrown away. She does not believe in making brandy as a beverage, but will manufacture 1t simply as a medicine, although the quantity will be at Jeast one million gallons which will be a good deal for medicine. It will be sold for the support of the Leland Stanford jr., university—a sacrifice on the part of Mrs. Stanford that stands very largely to her credit. Mrs. Stanford is a woman of positive temperance conyictions, but she understands business.

Tur destruction of the magnificent hard wood forests that formerly covered Indiana bas been reckless and inexcusable from eyery standpoint. And this destruction has been equally general all over the western and central states, “The hard woods of In: diana are about all gone.”’ said alarge buyer of hard wood the other day, ‘‘except oak and that is becoming scarce. I used to scour the state ten or hfteen years ago for black walnut lumber, but that is all gone in commercial quantities. We have to go now to Kentucky, Kansas, Nebraska, and to Indian Territory for walnut. We used to ship Indiana oak to California around the cape, but that business has fallen off to nothing There are no hard woods in California.”

. THe many personal and political friends of Hon. J. W. French, late warden of the northern prison at Michigan City, will be glad to note the appointment of that most excellent and worthy prison official and staunch Democrat to the wardenship of the national prison at Leavenworth Kan, The appointment was made by Attorney General Harmon last week and Mr. French is e){pected to take charge of the institution about September 1. The appointment will certainly reflect great credit upon the administration and was made only after a thorough inquiry into the fitness of the various and numerous applicants for the place, Mr, French’s splendid record while in control of the prison at Michigan City was a strong factor in the selection. -

"Tae New York Tribune, high protection journal though it Is, does not take kindly to the plan of restoring the McKinley duty on wool, Sucn restoration would, it insists, lower the price of the American product by lessening the demand of the manufacturers for it, unless the woolen goods tariff be also restored, the prospects of which it does not consider bright. Republican farmers who have been educated to believe that a high tarifl is esential to the preservation of the sheep industry are apt to be astonished that the chief oracle of protection should assume such an attitude. The lesser lights have been preaching high protection of wool se long and go per sistently that the ray of light shed upon that question by the New York I'ribune partakes of the character of a revelation.

Tee woORrRK at the grounds of thke Cotton States and International expogition at Atlanta is being rapidly pushed to completion. Nearly all of the company’s buildings are completed, and those still untinished will be ready for the installation of exhitits in a short time. It is now less than two months before the gates will be thrown open and work is being rapidly pushed. The force of laborers has been lincreased, and there is no longer any doubt that, by the 18th of September, the exposition will be ready for the-rush of visitors-on the opening day. Exhibits are beginning to come in and the work of installation will be pushed from now on to the opening day, Arrangements have been made with the telegraph companies, by which a wire will be run to Gray Gables and President Cleveland will touch the button at his summer home on Buzzard’s Bay which will' start the great fair in motion.

Tnr ingratitude of politicians is proverbial and an instance of it comes from Huntington county, says the Elkhart Truth. A coterie of democratic politicians in that county, whose po itical fortunes were championed for years by the Huntington Democrat, have purchased a controlling interast in the Sunday Morning News, of that city, and incorporated a company, ostensibly for the purpose of publishing a free silyer paper, but it 153 more probable for the purpose of publishing another democratic paper to sdyocate their personal ambitions irrespective of party welfare. ‘l'hese gentlemen have the right, as business men. to enter the newspaper business if they so derire, but as Democrats and politicians they are making a mistake and one which, in all probability. will lead to factional fights, defeat their ambitions, and result in permanent repunblican control of that county. Such has been the history, elsewhere, of all such movements and there is no reason to think that the result will be different in this case. |

An Indiana Day at Chickamauga. At the late meeting of the Indiana Chickamaunga C’onimission st Indianapolis on motion of Commissioner Johnson, of Elkhart. it was unanimously resolved that - lnfiiana citizens and soldiers have an ‘/lndiana Day” on one day of the dedicator{ ceremonies to be held by the njational commission for the dedication of the Chickamanga and Chattanooga National Mihtary park in September next and that Gov. Matthews, Gen. Harrison and Gen. Lew Wallace be invited to attend and act as orators on that occasion. e :

Divorce and Drunkenness.

Much commer;‘r is being made throughout the state over a ruling of the supreme conrt“;n effect that a- wife cannot secure a diyorce for drunkenness if she knew that her husband was intemperate before marriage. The Vincennes Commercial quotes the language of the supreme court to this effect: ‘“You voluntarily chose a drunkard for a| husband and you should discharge the duties of a drunkard’s wife. | His failure to keep a pledge of reformation does not justify you 1n deserting him, Having knowingly married a drunkard you must make yourself content with the sacred relationship.”’

Examine Yourf Insurance Policy. ~ Holders of fire insurance policies will find it to their mttrest to carefully examine same and |if they contain the >bnoxious eightyufer cent. clause ademand should be njade on the agent for a reissue, The lat'ft legislature wisely provided against the further perpetuation of the eighty per cent. clause in fire insurance policies and holders of such should not neglect to avail themselves of the benefits thereby aceruing. Some companies haye heretofore insisted on the eigrlty per cent. rule while others have not, but every policy will bear investigation on the part of those who|are chiefly concerned in being protected in case of loss by fire. : |

Deserve Punishment.

“Dot Wasburn, Walter Prickett, Harry Lamb and Carl Rider have been indicted by the griand jury at Columbia City for alleged| assault on a half witted girl. All but Rider have been arrested. Theindictment was founded upon a complaint that the girl had been enticed into the room by the young men where she was made drunk and then joutraged in a most shocking manner. Other indignities too revolting to relate are also charged. It is hinted that other young men are mixed up 1n the affair but no names are 'giyen, The indications are that the wealth and respectability of the parents of the yoing men will hardly saye them from sqvere punishment, .._.___._!_____————__— , Hicks's' August Predictions. : From August Ist to Bth will be a storm period, he says, of great or less yiolence with hot and increasing temperature till the neactionary period of the 9th. The following days to the 'l3th, will be much cooler, changing to the next regular |storm period, It is promised at this fime that there will be diminishing Jrainfall. although a cloud-burst tendency of the season may develop in gpots. There wiu‘ be a moon eclipse of the sun the 80th, and besides the moon will be at Its perigee thus producing very dangerous storm conditions accompanied by earthquakes in various parts of the globe. The month closes with another storm period with violant downpouring of rain about the 26th. :

Il:diana'é Wheat Crop. Fred P. Rush, one of the best authorities on wheat statistics, after correspondence covering nearly every county in Indiana. estimates that the total yield was from 18,000,000 to 20,000,000 bushels. He says: ‘Eighteen million bushels is 40 pern cent. of an average crop, the average crop in Indiana being 45.000,000 bushels. Last year the government croq report gaye us 52,000,000 bushels, but I am inclined to think that 60,000,000 bushels would be nearer the mark.| Of the wheat that is now coming intcp'market about half grades No. 2 and the remainder grades No. 8. The best comes first, and wheat that'comes in after this will be worse. The outlook is that about 20 per cent. of it will grade No. 2, 50 per cent. No. 3, and 30 per cent. rejected.”’ ;

No Betteér‘ Anywhere, x Last Saturday|J. N. Harman and family returned from a twelve days outing in the eastern part of the state. They drove in a carriage to Waterloo, DeKalb county, 'where a brother of Mrs. Harman i 3 pastor of the M. E. church. The journey was.in LaPorte, St. Joseph, Elkhart, Noble, DeKalb and LaGrange counties. The drouth has not been as severe in St. Joseph and LaPorte counties as in the other counties mentioned. However, the rain of last Friday was general in that region and this will very much change the outlook for corn and potatoes. The fruit crop [in these six counties will be much the same. However, Mr. Harman thinks that he has never seen 8o many good orchards m any county in the state as n the thirty miles trayel in Noble county,—LaPorte Argus.

Not a Very Good Showing, At a late examjination of teachers in this county only seven out of fifty-seven candidates secured licenses. . There is something radically wrong here. Either the schobls of the county are scandalously deficient in their methods and instruction, or there was an unnecessary degree of techicality in the questions, or those who examined the papers were tooimuch biased by theignorance of the ?andidate upon topics that had little bearing upon school work. There is sbme explanation of the failure of fifty out of fifty-seven candidates that it would be well for the public to know. If 1t is the fault of the schools the public certainly ought to know it. If%t is the .fault of the state committee in selecting questions that try the studeuts’ knowledge of foolish technica}ities it ought to bé knowan. If it 18 [the fault of the applicants themselves 1t is particularly deplorable.—Elkhart Review, Reméval Notice. : I have moved the Ladies Bazaar to my old location iin the Schloss building lately occuriedr by Mrs. M.

Making Newspapers Effective. : There 18 a wonderful amount of truth crowded into the following from the Press and Printer: : The efforts of any newspaper to build up a town is practically nullified unless it i 8 backed up by business men. A stranger turns from the news columns of & paper to its advertising pages and if he fails to find there the business card of the merchants and professional firms, he comes to the conclusion that the publisher is not appreciated, in which case it is a good place for him to keep clear of. No town eyer grew without the active assistance of its newspaper. Nor can papers grow and build up their localities without the assistance of the town. Business men should realize this and remember in giying support to the newspaper they are not only building up their own ‘business, but helping to support that which 18 steadily working for the benefit of the whole community. . e A Bridge Combine. The Indianapolis Journal iets a little light on the methods of the bridge com panies which it seems have organized to systematically rob the people of Indiapa. 1t says: ‘‘The plan of operation involves the states into sections, one of which 1s apportioned to each company, with the understanding that 1t is to have all the contracts for bridge building 1n the country within that section. An appearance of competition is made by 'other companies filing bids which are purposely and knowingly higher than those of the favored company which are still high enough to afford a big profit. By thus dividing the field and practically stifling competition each company gets a good slice of business at his own prices. No doubt in some cases county commissioners are in the deal, but it can be made successful even without their co-operation. It is really a trust to preyent competition, to keep up the cost of bridge building and to fleece the people.” (o

Depending on Corn Tonnage, 2 Railroads will be about last of the important industries to feel the fuil effect of restored prosperity. While western crops ' promise the largest tonnage in history it will be of such a nature as not to be available before January, Outside of the northwest there is little more than enough wheat to supply the local demand. Railroad officials have carefully computed that there will be a little if any more than half a crop of wheat in the middle and western states. In the northwest if reports are to be relied on there was never anything approaching the present crop. Much of that crop will go by lake, however. The one reliance of railroads is the western corn crop, which promises more than enough tonnage to equal the phenomenal crop tonnage of 1892, With exceptionally favorable weather this crop may begin moving in December but usually it does not begin moying until January. Until then the road must content themselyes with such shipments as may be necessary to supply the wants of increasing business.—-Wall Street Daily News, :

- King Corn, . Corn is our great staple. It is distinctively, almost excluslvely, American product, and in value our corn crop is worth more than any other crop we raise. : e This is apparently to be the greatest corn year ever known and the season is now 8o far advanced as to reduce chances of disaster to a minimum.

In 1891 we raised the greatest corn crop ever grown, but we are going to render it insignificant this year. In 1891 corn covered 76,104,000 acres and yielded an ayerage of 27 bushels to the acre. This year the corn fields amount to 82 304.000 acres or 6,000,000 mole than in 1891 and reports indicate a larger yield per acre than in that year. But at the same ayerage yield the crop will amount to 2,222,208,000—tw0 billion two hundred and twenty-two million two hundred and eight thousand bushels! =

Corn is worth about fifty cents a bushel not only in the feeding of hogs. This crop will therefore add $1,111,104,000 to the country’s wealth. Think of it! More than a billion dollars of actual wealth produced in a single year 1 the shape of a single crop.. Who doubts the prosperity of the great republic? | County Scholars and Readers, | A writer in a recent number of the Chicago Inter Ocean pays the following tribute to country scolars: and readers: “The city in its arrogance and pride is generally ready to patronize or disparage the country. Itseldom stops to consider the debt it owes to what are termed the ‘‘rural districts.’’ Yet nine-tenthg of its distinguished men and women are country born and country bred. The physician who attains celebrity, the preacher who be-| comes an oracle of religion and ethics, | the editor who aids in molding public; opinion—the most of all these have developed brain and character in the comparative quiet and leisure of the! country. There men and women haye time to think and to read; there today, and not in the cities liye nine-tenths off‘ the readers of books; those to whom the old classics are literary authority; those who still know the old dramatists and essayists and to whom the ‘‘spectator’’ has not lost its charm. Take the country press, for example, | The city press with all of its boasting| and display of influence has drawn: from this source’ much of its virility; and its originality, When men live| ‘packed together in hotels and apart-| ment houses, when they are only units of the multitudes that throng the streets and battle for foothold in the streets they are bpound to feel sooner or later the loss of their indiivduality.: They are simply one of thousands and they realize it. In Chicago today it Is| probable that not more than one ‘writer of ability in fifty was born in the city. The other forty-nine had their training in country newspaper offices and very thorough training it was—that which made and disciplined the ‘‘all around” writer who could never have so mastered his calling in the restricted department to which he would be assigned on a metropolitan journal. : ' o

’ Obituary. ; ' Elsedana Foltz was born in Stark county, Ohio, December 22, 1834, and died at her homs in Ligonier July 21, 1895, at the age of 60 years, 7 months and 29 days, She was married in Stark county, Ohio, to John B, Foliz, May 24, 1855. Thus God has permitted them to live together a little over forty years. In 1862 Mrs. Follz with her 3usbz_md ‘moved from Stark counuy, hio, to Indian Village and in 1863 they came to Ligoner where she has lived ever since, except about two years that she was on the Pacific coast. She was the mother of five children, three! fiirls and two boys. Two of the girls lied very young in life and her two gons are in Nevada. Her remaining daughter was with her the last few months of her sickness. A i Mrs. Foltz was converted young in life and united with the U. B. church of this city soon after its organization and always labored for its upbuilding whenever opportunity 'afforded. She was much deyoted to the interest of her family and surely her children can rise up and call her blessed. During her late sickness which continned over three years she was very patient and fully resigned to the will of God. She had a cheerful disposition and was disposed to look upon the bright side of everything. Her end was that of a christian, calm and peaceful. The funeral seryices were conduected at the residence July 24, by Rev. J. A. Cummings and Rev F. Thomas. e
