In his anoual report Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson gives a vivid pio.
ture of one of the great causes of our
prosperity, the abundant crops. Of
corn alone he says the yield is the
greatest In our history, and that its
value Is sufficient to pay the National
debt. The statistics he gives as to
other crops are equally Interesting.
His report nowhere claims that the
great crops were due to the Republican
policy of putting a high tariff on many
things that the farmers need, because
he probably realizes that If the duties
on these articles were lowered to a pros
per figure there would probably have
been an even better showing. It is
theso great crops ales which, along
with wr many other uatural resour-
ces, are the canes of such prosperity
Be we are now enjoying, and not the
Republican party, as some of its bh
bound advocates would claim,

The advisability of ensotiog a law
that will take suit of the hands of
county judges the leensegranting
power aud investing it in 8 commis
sion composed of three persons in
each cvuoty, who shall be appointed
by the governor, is being considerably
agitated. There is no question but
that the average judge would like to
be relieved of the respousibility, but
there are grave doubts whether the
public interests would be subserved
by the change. If the license-granting
powerwas iu the bands of a commission
appointed by the governor, it would
mean another string for the county
boss to pull to maintain his corrupt
and disgraceful domination of county
politics. I'he passage of such a law
would not be in the interest of the
public of a purer judiciary but to give
the political machine another grip, It
would make every license subservient
to its demande,
