The report of the United States' stat
istician J..R. Dodge, dated December 10,
estimates that the corn crop for the
present year exceeds 2,000,000,000
bushels and "closely approaches the
largest crop ever grown in this or any
other country." The average price is
42.2 cents against 50.6 a year ago. On
the basis of December prices the present
corn crop is worth to farmers nearly
$100,000,000 more than that of last year.
The wheat crop Ls estimated as having
been 50 per cent, larger than that of
last year. The average price is placed
at 85.3 cents per bushel. This years
crop in the aggregate is wortli to growers
in the neighborhood of $175,000,000
more than that of last year.
It can hardly be doubted that there is
trouble in tho camp of the majority in
the house of representatives. The elec
tion of Crisp to the speakership, accepted
at first as a shrewd stroke of conserva
tive policy may prove in the long run to
have been a mistake. The followers of
Mills are unwilling to accept defeat with
good grace and a split seems imminent
that may work considerable mischief to
the country as well as the party to which
it belongs. If after all the cry that bus
been made against the McKinley bill
the democratic majority cannot agree
among themselves to at least attempt to
give' the people something better, the
people may survive the affliction but
the party will suffer.
In view of the fact that this country
has yet several millions of vacant lands
suitable for agricultural purposes the
Oregonian suggests that the followers of
Henry George, who hold that the land
belongs to the people because of the
eimple fact that they were born upon it,
should go to work and possess Jtheui selves
of a few acres before it has all become
-occupied. The suggestion is a good one
"- bnt it won't be adopted. The followers
- of Henry George don't want that kind
.-'of land. They are after nice, improved
farms or handsome corner lots, that
other men's labor and energy have
made valuable. They have no use for
lands that require years of patient toil
rto make valuable.
Let no .one say that muddy streets
.bave not their uses. A fire occurred in
. two story building in Seattle the other
day and a man hamed Maxwell jumped
from a second story window into the
muddy street and came off without a
scratch. Then a Mrs. O'Brien threw
her baby out' after him and it was
saved. Then Mrs. O'Brien herself
jumped into the mnd unhurt. Thus a
jnuddy street saved three precious lives.

One night about three . weeks ago
George Ceon, Frederick Shepp and Fred
erick Gott, fanners residing near North
Manliua, had their harnesses and robes
stolen. Of .course they were annoyed
and anxious to catch the thief, and,
somewhat inclined to believe in the mys
terious, Shepp and Gott went to a Syra
cuse fortune teller for information. She
took their money and informed them
that they would rind the harnesses on the
premises of some one whose first name
was James, secreted in a barrel. They
thought of the Jameses in their vicinity.
There was neighbor James Rich and
neighbor James , Wright, the latter a
well to do farmer, and they got a war
rant from a Collamer justice to search
the house of the first James and one of
the barns of the second James.
The officer who had the warrant did
so, accompanied by Mr. Gott and Mr.
Shepp. But the harnesses were not found,
and now James Rich promises to make
it interesting for Gott and Shepp. He
claims they dug up his cellar, scattered
his potatoes around and did other mis
chief of this character, and. made no
effort to put things in as good shape as
they found them. He wants damages
from the two gentlemen, and says he
will ask the court to grant his request
unless Gott and Shepp walk up and pay.

A Sewed Fish.
A peculiar fish was brought into this
port Monday by the schooner Mildred
V. Lee. The fish is nearly oval in shape,
with a very short tail; is Si feet in
length, 2 feet in width and weighed
113 pounds. When taken from the water
it was of a bright red color, and the meat
is about the color of salmon. The body
except the head is covered by small
scales, and the back is covered with light
spots. On either side of his back is a
peculiar line, resembling a scar, as if he
had been cut and stitches, taken, in the
wound. The fish, was taken on La Have
bank in a trawl in 800 fathoms of water,
but nothing like it has ever been landed
here before, neither can a fish answering
its description be found in the publica
tions of the fish commission. Gloucester
