TUB Illinois corn crop for 1891 is
worth $ . ' 52,102,150 , while that for 1890
was worth but $18o90,8lO. This proba
bly explains why alliance politics in
1892 nro so unpromising in the SucUor
sUite !
CoitN oil is the latest corn pi-oduot ,
nnd Chicago boasts tliat it is made only
In that city. The Peoria people are not
disturbed over the new corn liquid , how
ever , as it in no way interferes with the
popularity of the old fashioned ccrn

TWKNTY-FOUU days wore consumed
by the Fifty-first congress in the per
functory duty of eulogizing deceased
members. Some duy-n congress will bo
olcctod with stamina enough to say that
Jfunornl orations shall not tdlco up so
much valuable time.
TUB Now York assembly has passed
an anti-Pinlcerton bill. Congress maybe
bo precluded by the constitution from
enacting laws covering the case of these
Hosslnn thugs , but the states have a
clear right to legislate upon the subject ,
and every state in the union should dose
so without delay.
GKNEKAL BUTLEU will discover that
hla fighting days nro not over as soon ns
the newspapers of the south got around
to reviews of his book. Ho will bo on
the defensive , too. If lie attempts to
reply to all the ndvorso criticism ho has
nrousod he may as well abandon the
practice of law entirely.
TUB people's party in Michigan has
made terms with the prohibition party
nnd the two organizations will attempt
"tOTdivido the oflleos between them. If
the people's party is strong enough to
carry this load in Miohigan , it is useless
for republicans to mourn over the dome
cratio electoral gerrymander.
SricAiciNO of democratic candidates
for the presidency in n reminiscent way
naturally brings to mind one Thomas A.
Bayard of Delaware. Mr. Bayard has
boon on the shnlf about throe years , but
ho has one point of merit which neither
mil , Russell , Paulson nor Boies pos-
, Bosses he can carry his own stato.
Loni ) BACON was fond of ofllco , nnd
especially the emoluments nnd per

plains why Icrnatius Donnelly , Bacon's
most modern champion , Is so persistent
In his olTorts to secure a political front
scat among other cranks. In his
study of Bacon's lifo ho hna absorbed
tome of Ills characteristics.
UNDKlt the democratic code of rules
the power which was last year lodged in
the speaker Is now very largely givou to
the committee on rules. The chance o |
tllibuatoring against the individual who
: nnnot induce the committee on rules
to tuko slues with him , however , is loft
open nnd the authority to count n
quorum IB denied. Before this congress
suds the dumoarntlo majority may linil

February 11 is the dnto fixed for the
mass meeting of Now York democrats
vho nro opposed to the Hill scheme of n
midwinter convention. This movement
ias the countenance nnd support of some
of Iho most prominent men in the party
and Is reported to bo gaining in force.
The call for the meeting has been very
numerously signed nnd the projectors
mvo received oncourngomont from all
inrts of the state , so that the promise is
hat the meeting will be formidable in
lumbers nnd representative of an Influ
ential nnd important element of the
iiirtv. The published names of those
who arc heading the movement , however -
over , do not show many of the nctlvo
witticisms who do the real nnd effective
nbor of campaigns by which success is
achieved. Men like ox-Sovrotnry ot the
Treasury Fnlrchlld , for example , while
> oed enough partisans , art ) not in the
iiabit of taking tholr coats olT nnd going
into the thick of the fight. They hnvo
n vnluo In the counsels of the party mid
nro useful on special occasions in expounding -
pounding democratic doctrines , exerting
In both rolntlons n measure of influence ,
but they nro not nvnilnblo for the rough-
and-tumble work which counts most
largely in politics. Ono shrewd and in
defatigable wirepuller , who Is not
scrupulous about methods , is worth half
n dozen such men in n campaign , and
particularly in n Now York democratic
lamp.tign.
The lighting politicians of the democ
racy of the Empire state nro with Hill.
The men who are following his leadership -
ship nnd obeying his mitnunto make a
business of politics and are prolluioiit in
Its tricks nnd nrtlficos. They have no
elevated notions about honor or honesty
in the game of politics. No scruplus ro-
jnrding moans or methods trouble their
consciences or handicap their olTorts.
Whatever appears to bo necessary to
success they ilo not hosltato to adopt.
They are united fo'1 ' the spoils and hold
together by the "cohesive power of
public plunder. " The men of this class
constitute , together xvith those whogivo
ready obedience to their wishes , a very
.argo majority of the democratic party
of Now York They compose the Turn-
many otgani/ation , which is in complete
iccord with the designs of Senator Hill ,
and is by far the most powerful inllu-
once in the democratic politics of the
state. They are potential tit Albany ,
nnd it would bo hard to llnd any part of
the state whore they are not in control.
From all appearances the political ma
chine that Hill lins constructed la com
plete and perfect nt every point. Every
uioco Is properly and firmly adjusted ,
thoroJs no screw loose anywhere , and
everything is arranged to move along
smoothly nnd without friction as the
master mind may direct. It has taken
Imrd nnd persistent work to accomplish
this , and it is hardly possible that the
men who have brought to such perfec
tion of organization the fighting nnd
working element of the party will make
any concession to those who can olTor in
justification of their demand for con
sideration only the fact that they htivo
voted with the party , not all of thorn ,
indeed , being able toshowaclcan.record
in this respect. It is not at all probable ,
therefore , that the revolt against Hill
will induce the least change in his de
signs as now disclosed. Ho is playing n
game , deliberately planned , in which ho
cannot afford to lose a single trick.
IX FAltM I'ltODl'CTS.
The memorial submitted by the Chicago
cage Board of Trade to the house com
mittee on agriculture , which is hearing
arguments for and against an anti-
Option law , charges the entire blame
for the evils incident to gambling in
agricultural products upon the bucket
shops. The memorial vigorously de
nounces those institutions , characteriz
ing them as n national curse well de
serving the attention of congress. It
frankly ndmits that gambling in farm
products is an unmitigated evil and n
fruitful source of agricultural depression ,
and suggests that a rigorous federal
bucket shop law , vigorously enforced ,
might go far toward accomplishing the
end that i& sought by the proposed anti-
option legislation. "Tho laying of
wagers , " says the memorial , "in these
thousands of bucket shops on the quota
tions of produce ns they are nuido in the
great marts of trade creates a powerful
concentrated interest for the depression
of values , " and it Is suggested that the
extent to which this inlluonco is respons
ible lor the agricultural depression that
is complained of is not fully appreciated.
There is nothing whatever to bo said
in defense of the bucket shops. They nro
gambling institutions absolutely , and
there is no bettor reason to be given fpr
tolerating tlioir oxintonco than may bo
olTorcrt for allowing nuy kind of gnm
bling to bo earned on. But the misfor
tune is that boards of trade , which it is
rightly said nro n necessity of modern
commerce , nro very largely responsible
for the existence of the bucket shops.
Those insiitutlons nro the oxcreaoncosof
Board of Trade speculation , nnd it ia
doubtful if they could exist without the
( support and countenance * which men
connected with JLio ) boards of trade in
the principal commercial centers glvo
them. Sumo time ago the Chicago
board carried on n vigorous but unavail
ing fight against the bucket shops , but ,
while a majority of the members \voro
doubtless in sympathy with the move
ment , it was well known that other members
bors wore helping the bucket shops ,
Another unfortunate fact Is that there
is moro or loss gambling on the hoards
of tnido of the kind that is carried on In
the bucket shops. This is admitted in
the memorial , with the extenuating
statement , however , tlmt it is inalgniil
cant in comparison with the transact
lions of ingitimato commerce and spoon
lation. This may bo granted , and still
the question aritws , why permit any
gambling on boards of trade ? It Is no
less nn evil when done there than it is
when practiced in the bucket shops , and
it is likely tn have a worse effect.
The opposition to the proposed anti-
option legislation cot-tainly presents
some cogent reasons why such legisla
tion might result to the dlbadvnntngp ol
the producer , but at the sumo time it
given testimony to the necessity foi
eliminating from the commercial system
of the country the gambling and the
illegitimate speculation which are pro-
lillu sources of evil.
TllK flllvur quodtlon will probably
come before congress within the next
wcok. It is understood that the finance
committee of the sennto will soon
report back the bill of Scnntor Slownrt-
.vlth nn unfavorable recommendation ,
nnd ns the measure will go to the cnl-
ondnr it ran bo taken tip at nny tlmo for
notion. The Novndn sointor will take
the very first opportunity to do this nnd
n discussion may bo started in the senate
) oforo another wcok has expired. It is
expected thnt the house committee on
coinage will present n free silver bill
some tlmo during the ensuing week. A
caucus wn ? to hnvo boon hold to deter
mine what policy should bo ndoptod by
the majority In the liouso regard
ing silver , but this was abandoned * nnd
although the nntt-froo coinage men
clnlm to bo paining in strontrth they nro
evidently not strong enough to prevent
the introduction of n bill for free coin-
ago. It la believed thnt such n moa ° uro
will pass the house , but Its fnto in the
scnato is problematical. In any event
there is no danger of n frco silver bill
becoming n law.
THE house of representatives having
finally ndoptcd rules for its government
should now go on with the work of log-
islntlon without interruption nnd make
up for some of the time that has been
lost. While in framing the now rules n
studied effort wns madu to got as fur
away ns possible from those "t the lire-
ceding congress , in order that the demo
crats who so persistently protested
ag.iinst the "Hood regime" should not
bo stullilled , it Isjntorestlng to note that
the power which has been given to the
committee on rules is quite ns extreme
as any authority that was l"dgcd in the
hands of the speaker of the last house of
representative : * . In fnnt , it irf , as said by
ox-Speaker Rood , a more i-uthlcs- . recog
nition of the principle of responsible gov
ernment in the house than was over
dreamed of in the Fifty-first congress.
The extraordinary powi'r given the com
mittee on rules , of which the speaker is
chairman , was strongly opposed by n
number of democrats , but the faction
that oloL'tod the speaker was strong
enough to carry this rule to strengthen
bis hands. It may prove to be n fruitful
source of party dissension.
A MlhMXG-lS-TUANSlT rate for grain
is essential to the grain mirkot of
Omaha. The State Board of Transpor
tation rncognixes this fact and has there
fore ntruin requested the Nebraska rail
way managers to make the concession.
What the request will accomplish re
mains to bo scon. Had the btato board
been n trillo moro vigorous in its demand
wo fancy the communication would have
a moro salutary eflect. The Nebraska
companies nro p-imnrily responsible for
the delay. Any attempt to lay the
blatrie upon lines east of the river is
merely n dilatory proceeding. Wo are
entitled to the milling-in-transit rate
and the lines centering hero can secure
it for us by making the proper effort ,
GiXBUAT < DYUKXPORTH , Melbourne ,
Linden , Borden and all the ho-.t of rain-
mnkors have well-nigh had their day.
They hnvo inflated their balloons and
public expectation and they have ex
ploded vast quantities of combustibles
in mid air. The result has been disas
trous to their theories , but the good
people have recovered their incredulity
and things move on under the supervis
ion of Uncle Jerry Rusk just as they did
before. The rain comes In season and
out of season. The rninmaicord M-O
caught in showers just like other people ,
but coincidences are so unreliable that
the rainmaker's occupation is less cer
tain than thnt of tho. witch bazel wizard.
Tiir. Minneapolis JbicrnriZ says : "Gov
ernor Boyd of Nebraska , since his tri
umph over 3'hnycr , is freely classed by
the democrats as a proper candidate for
the presidency. Even Governor Boies
is getting overshadowed as a possibility
by the vindicated Boyd. " Tin : BBK
asks permission to call a halt upon this
item early in its career. Inasmuch a-j
Governor Boyd llrst saw the light in the
north of Ireland , and his parents wore
Irish , too , a presidential boom cannot
bo worked up for the distinguished Ne
braska democrat.
COUNCIL Bu'rrs was selected as the
place of holding the democratic state
convention , and May 11 is the date. Opr
Iowa sister will accept , congratulations ,
not alone because she was honored
by the Iowa democrats , but because of
the dnto selected for the meeting. Coun
cil Bluffs in May and Juno is one of the
most charming cities in the -west , and
her visitors cannot fail to cro away from
the convention with good impiossions.
IT is said that Hitchcock will , at n
banquet to bo tendered Governor Boyd ,
road his double-loaded editorial pub
lished a low months ago In which the
declaration wns mndo that Boyd had
dug his political grave. When the rjr-
dent young convert thus turned Boyd's
picture to the wall , it will bo remem
bered , the Boyd train was going down
grade. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Tin ; railways of Nebraska are insuf

> ritlncr of the foreign policy of England ,
Sir Charles Ullko , one of the best informed
ot English politicians , Assumes thnt the
liberal party will certainly bo In n mnjorlty
in the next t'nrllament , although ho thinks
there Is still n doubt whether the majority
will bo large enough to omiblo the now gov
ernment to carry out n foreign policy of Its
own , or to bring nbaut nny material clmnpo
m Unglnnd's ' relations with the continental
powers. And yet , observes Sir Charles , a
hand-to-mouth treatment would hardly suf
fice to meet the dangers cro.itod by l ord
Salisbury. In rognnl to possible changes in
iMiglniul's foi-clgn policy , Sir Chnrlos argues
against nn alllnnco with Franco nnd Hussln ,
nnd builds high hopes upon detaching Itnly
from the nlllnnco of the central powers nnd
bringing her Into a neutral maritime loaguo.
It Is significant , 1io\vovcr , of the fear
of foreign Invasion which sooins to
bo creeping over Englishmen tlmt ho
should counsel the British public to dismiss
from Vhclr minds the possibility of nnv re
duction of nnvnl pxpondlturo , oven thuugh
strict noutrnllty should bo maintained. "The

The Belgian socialists sooin to bo deter
mined to Insist upon the fullllmuiit of the
promises which were m.ido to them In May ,
li'.U. It will bo romomborcd that , on Labor
Day of that jvar , demonstrations , parades
ami meetings took place in inanv cities of
Helglutu ns well -is throughout Europe.
These demonstrations not having succeodou
In arousing in the Brnssi-ls Chambers and
government sunidont interest In thu nil
vnnccimmtof the worklngmori , nn immense
stilko began a fortnight latnr in the coal re
gions of the country. It ceiKcd only on the
promise that tbo constitution would bo revised
vised and that the electoral franchise would
bo extended. The socialists nre apparently
tired of waiting , or , ruthar , they fear that
the projected constitutional revision -will
be n sham nnd much b2low their expecta
tions. What they claim , in fact , Is the es
tablishment of universal suffrage , which will
DO to them not so much a polltlcil ns an
economic weapon with whioh to impraro
their miserable social condition. The
coal minor. * , mora tbnn UOO.OOJ in num
ber , uco only one portion of the socialist
army , wuich Includes in its ranks the
workmen of the iron fonnilrla * nnd arm fac
tories around Llogo , the weavers of Uhont
nnd Miiliuos , ns vvoll as the peasants. The
program of the < , o people as advocated by An-
secle. Volpors , Hortrand and other leaden is
not so swooping and ravUutionary ns Is that
of the German and French socialists. The
Belirinns urge mainly the superseding of in
dividual Industries by co-operative societies ,
aim the superseding of the iirovsut limited
auflr.igo by universal suftrage. Out of n
population ol ,030oaj in Belgium , there are
only IHSOO'.I ' political electors , and 400,000
communal or municipal elector * . Ff the
socialists intend to put prossura upon the
Chambers , Ihrougb ' 'daily domonbtr&iions"
outside the parliamentary building , it is "bo-
cause they icnow thnt tlis leaders of the
political parties ar llttlo dlsnoiod to go as
far as to gr.int universal suffrage. M. Bor-
naort , th prime minister , would like to ex
tend the sulTrng-o only to the 400,030 munici
pal electors ; M. Woesta , the conservative
loader , wishes to retain the present state of
affairs , nnd M. Froro-Orban , the libonil
lender , would glvo the right of suffrage only
to the raiduo classes.

The German emperor has tried the public
patience n good deal already by his claims to
nlmo-t superhuman knowledge and sagacity ,
but none of his Io0'isla"llve undertakings have
been quite snsorious us his oJuoatlomvl bill
now baforo the Kcichstog , providing for the ,
religious education of the children in the
public schools in such creeds as tha govern
mentaporovus of : or , iu other words , the
transferor the children ofTews , Turks and
Inlldcls to the euro of the Christian clergy.
The object of this legislation ia , according to
tbo otnporor , to abolish "atheism" among his
subjects , and bring them into a rolli/ioiis fold
specially constructed by himself or undur
his approval. The number of atheists
ists in Germany is very large.
The number of skeptics that is , of
persons who have a private religion of tholr
own , the nature of which ttuv consider no
body else's busmoab Is slill larger. IJut
larger than all is the class who dislike and
despise the clergy , aacl will on no nccoant
permit them to educate their children. All
these classes togothnr include a vorv largo
proportion of the German culture and intulll
gonco. To atfjtnpl to force nn ofllclal re
ligious creed on the n , after the fashion of
Queen Kll/aboth or King Charles I. , is ono of
these fantastic ventures which shako thrones
to tholr foundation. Tlicro Is probably no
country in Europe in which it would bo more
preposterous than in Germany , for In none
hnvo the commercial and professional men
got so faraway from the churo'.i.

The Spanish governrnont declines to become
como a commercial parasite of the triple til-

illct of opinion at Madrid , may bo juagod
from the lact that It was not reached until
the last moment. U vnu not until February
1 , when the Fionch protective tariff wont

at Paris , acting under Instructions from
Senor CnnovHi ael Castillo , visited the
French minister of fornlgn affairs nnd ox-
piossed Iho strong desire of Spain to bring
about nn understanding with Franco oltner
through n definite commercial uouty or ny
u temporary agreement. The overture will ,
of course , bo promptly nnd cordially nc-
coptod , France having strong political as
well as commercial reasons for wishing to

tral powers , How wulcomo tno prospect of
