Horace F. Page on being interviewed re
cently in New York said: "The silver ques
tion will come up in Washington this winter
but no bill will be passed. The west is al
most a unit iu favor of keeping silver just
where it is. The south and the west are for
silver, while the east are opposed to it. Peo
ple of the east are money lenders, and wish
to make it scarce. Western people are bor
rowers ami wish to see plenty of money in
the market. That's all there is to it."
On the civil service Mr. Horace W. Page
sail: I am not iu favor of civil service re
form in its present form. Cleveland's great
est mistake has been in removing officials
because they were offensive partisans. If
he would come out and say frankly when
m iking removals, 'There, 1 want your pjace
because you are not in harmony with theid
miiiistration,' he would have made no
trouble."

The corn crep of the United States having
passed the critical stage, and whatever of
.langer menanced the cereal from frosts being
now ended, owing to maturity ;.f the grain,
the Farmer's Review of Chicago has called
in reports from its 1400 correspondents, giv
ing the area and probable yield hi the ten
leading corn producing states, and has com
; iled from these a close estimate of the ap
proximate yield of the crop of 1885. The
estimates have been based ou a comparison
with the yield of 18S4, taking the figures of
agricultural bureau at Washington for the
yield of last year. Comparisons by states
of the probable yield in the ten states
named shows an -excess over the year of
IS4,640,000 bushels. On the basis that
states and territories outside of the ten
named will pro. luce is much corn as they
did lest year, or 543,400,000 bushels, and
this would seem to lie assured from a study
of the reports, it will give a total crop of
1,979,639,000 bushels, from which total it
is safe to estimate that the yield will not
vary in any appreciable degree either way.
The announcement that Hoswell P. Flow
er had refused to be a candidate for lieutenant-governor
of New York was received

effect of his refusal to run has been disas

Wall street party, who would have beeu
willing to support one of their own men.
The leaders have nothing to say. Fiowcr
himself talks about a majority of 40,000 for
the republican ticket, and he neKer once
wavered iu his refusal.
She Star.ts Zeituug, the leoding German
d mocratic paper in New York bolts
Hill. Its editor says: "'The democratic con
vention has seen fit to nominate, yes nomi
nate, a candidate whose election must from
the beginning appear to be more than doubt
ful, and the leaders who brought about this
result must be held responsible for the de
feat of their party, which seems to be almost
inevitable."
A series of explosions Saturday afternoon
felt at and near Pitsburg, Pa., supposed to
have been caused by a shock of earthquake,
are now thought to have been the explosion
of a meteor. Inquiries have been sent to
ihe cit y from points thirty to forty miles dis
tant asking the cause of the explosion. There
were five or six detonations in rapid succes
sion and the course of the sonod was from
northwest to southwest. At Mansfield about
five miles distant, the greatest consternation
prevailed, particularly among miners at
work iu coal pits iu that district. Thus far
the place where the meteor fell has not been
discovered.
