IF the government crop report is to be ^ f trusted the peach crop this year is about 1 as near a failure as it is ever likely to j be in this country.

These States use corn for bread to a great extent, and this great increase in acreage shows they have learned the wisdom of producing at home instead of buying from other States. Of the corn-selling States Kansas has increased her crops by 880,000 acres, Nebraska by 680,000 and Illinois by 200, 000 acres. There is no occasion for the corn-growers to take alarm. He can always make his own market by keep­ ing hogs, sheep or cattle, The market for meat, like that for wheat, is never so fully satisfied that prices fall to ruin­ ous depths. Corn fed to live stock never fails to bring the grower 80 cents and usually he gets 85 cents or even 40 cents or more. In every case the best possible disposition to make of Hie corn is to feed it on the farm. f , LABOR IN URGENT DEMA5W?. , f The broom corn raisers of Illinois ^ have appealed to the governor to send •tV -them convict labor to help save the -i ' crops in the field from rotting, basing , their request upon the ground that it vis impossible for them to secure men to perform the work.

Never •ir. a: before in the history of this nation have the opportunities of the working-man bee* greater or his prospects brighter. & wax ASK FOR ADMISSION. \ The population of Oklahoma is now j something over four hundred thousand and is growing rapidly. This entitle? her to admission to the sisterhood of states. It is the intention of the terri­ tory to ask for such place at the opening of congress in December. It is a great territory and quite pros- , perous. It is purely a farming and : gracing country. It has neither forest nor mountain range. Its surface con­ sists of a broad stretch of prairie and a broader belt of the buffalo grass plain. The staple products are wheat, corn, and cotton. The settlers are thrifty, law abiding, prosperous and intelligent. : They are ambitious and proud of then- prospective state. Its area of 89,000 square miles is a little less than that of Ohio. 1.1: RECORD BREAKING CORN CROP Judging from the results of a careful canvass of eight states which raise the bulk of the corn produced in the United States, made by The Chicago Tribune, all previous high records probably will be broken by the corn crop of . 1899. This canvass warrants an estimate of the total yield above that of 1896, which hereto-fore has been the record, and the advices received appear to justify the prediction that the crop will approxi­ mate 2,000,000,000 bushels. These figures were first reached by ijhft Wrtp (yf tftftn, QTirJ /vrvly tuna ^ 2,000,000,000 bushels or over have been produced, including that of the present year. This year the conditions were unfavorable at the time of planting but during the late spring and early sum­ mer they were particularly favorable and the crop made up for the early de­ lay. During the summer the weather has been almost ideal and the usual corn crop scares have not been in evidence. There is now little chance of disaster to the late corn, and the prospect for a re­ cord breaking crop is reasonably well assured, This bumper crop will bring to the farmers of the corn-growing states a substantial slice of the univer­ sal prosperity that has come to the in- dnstrialaiid commercial world. DREYFUS AGAIN A VICTIM. Although not unexpected the second conviction of Captain Dreyfus by court martial is resented by the civilized world. It is possible that there may be some question as to bis entire innocence of the crime of treason, but it is much more certain that his guilt has not been clearly proven. His trial was a traves­ ty upon justice, and the proceedings have justified the presumption that his fate rested wholly in the hands of his prejudiced enemies. They seem to have considered his conviction essential to the maintenance of the honor of the French army, but in fact its effect will be exactly the reverse. That army has been damaged irreparably in the estimation of other nations by the far­ cical proceedings of the Dreyfus trial, which have been a disgrace to the country claiming to be a republic. France likewise suffers with its army from the prevalent belief that an in­ nocent man, after undergoing the tor­ tures of the damned for years, again has been made the victim of religious and clasp prejudice and doomed to make atonement for the sins of others. It's impossible to foresee the end of this celebrated case, which presents a trying problem to the administration now in power. It may be that the stability of the republic itself will depend upon the courage and firmness with which Presi­ dent Loubet and his cabinet deal with this serious problem. They exhibited un­ expected nerve and determination re­ cently in dealing with the royalist dis­ turbances, and may prove equal to the present grave emergency. If the ad­ ministration possesses sufficient stamina to promptly relieve the republic of the stigma of permitting a. prejudiced court to convict a man at least presumably in­ nocent, and to rebuke and punish as they deserve the army officers of high rank who have brought about this con­ viction, the permanency of the French republic will be assured. If, on the other hand, it is irresolute and post­ pones decisive action, it is possible that revolution may result. It were better a thousand times for the reputation of France that even a traitor should escape punishment for his crime than that an innocent man should be convicted under the circum­ stances that have attended the Dreyfus trial Each nation owes it to itself and to the world to so conduct its judicial proceedings as to inculc ate respect for law and justice, instead of creating the impression that justice is a myth and trial - by court martial or is a civil tribunal a mockery and a farce. From this standpoint France is now on trial before the civilized world, and it will require vigorous measures on the part of its government to efface the rec­ ollection of the disgrace which the pro­ ceedings in the Dreyfus case bave heaped upon that country. A Word to Mothers. 1 Mothers of children affected With croup or a severe cold need not hesitate to administer Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It contains no opiate or nar­ cotic in any form and may be given as confidently to the babe as to an adult.

The government crop circular for <!tdy contains statistics of the corn crop of '99 that show an amazing increase in the acreage devoted to that cereal. These figures are such as to cause the corn grower to consider very seriously what he shall do in order to make a market for his corn. There is an in­ crease of 3,885,000 acres in the crop as compared with last year. If the ave­ rage crop is only twenty bushels to the acre the crop of this year will be in- «mnd by 6,700,000 bushels.
