The estimated value of the proving corn crop in Nebraska is J-"0,OX),000. The calamity howlers rf that State are " f-ing- ing ema Louisiana ba the riromis' of a largely increased supar crop, and the planters who voted for Cleveland and free trade would like to lie "counted out" when the "tariff smashing" lie-ins. Tiie demand for hay to siiip to Europe is unprecedented. It ie selling therefor i J a ton. Fortunately the hay crop of this country is excellent and will bring rich returns to the farmers of the United States. The fear of free trade is shutting up hundreds of shops and mills, and throw ing thousands of men out of employ ment. What will be the future etiect when the fear of the present are turned into eu-rn rea'i'v? While the country is shivering on the brink of a panic the President spends dy after day fishing, and the public is kept apprised of h;s luck by daily dis patches. It is but a repetition of the old old story of Nero fiddling while Home burned. r; ' f: coaxing the Pupii'.ists into be' ingtheiu lake several Western States out of the lU'pu'ilinii column, the Deaio cratsnow turn around and denounce them as anarchists. The gratitude of the Iernocratie party is about equal to its consistency. This country raises annually 4' 'A?.,'t,i tons of hay on an acreage of USt'liOo acres, valued at f 4'J,4:!,"0". Ho ma ny of our readers have given thought to these enormous figures, or to the value of a crop which every farmer can raise more easily than any other cmp ? Thkiie is an unusual desire for the meeting of Congress and tail hustling among Democratic members to stand well with the Administration. There is a large distribution of odices to be made in the near future, and those who dance as trover fiddles will be remembered w hen the pie is cut Ox Friday last the Chicago wheat mar ket was sent to the bow-wows, and that commodity tumbled to a lower price than was ever reached in the history of that market. The demorilition of prices was fearful. It w as simply a question of money wherew ith to protect prices. The price ran down to "(i, rallying afterwards to ol' at the close. One short year ago this country w as enjoying the greatest prosperity it had ever known. A brief experience of live months under (irover Cleveland has par alyzed business closed up hundreds of manufacturing industries and thrown many thousands of workmen out of em ployment. People wanted a change, and they have got it with a vengeance. Tub thousands of workmen w ho voted for Cleveland and are now being throw n out of employment by reason of hard times and the stoppage of mills and fac tories, are beginning to inquire w hat has become of the "cheap breakfast table" t hey were promised ; how it is to be cheapened by the proposed tax on tea, co flee and sugar ; and how without em ployment they are to procure the cheap est of cheap breakfasts. As the girls would say, that was a "real cute'' idea of a Brooklyn pastor, w ho en listed a bevy of handsome young ladies of his liock as ushers, in order to induce the attendance of yoang men at his c hurch. A church fair or festival with out a corps of alluring damsels behind its tables and booths would be a flat failure, and doubtless the good pastor's experi ence at such functions taught him the w isd om of the serpent. Since the beginning of this year more than three hundred banks have succumb ed to the financial flurry that has swept over the country, of this number one hundred and five National banks were conijlled to close their doors. A num ber of these have already resumed busi ness, and but U7 have gone into the handsof receivers. The soundness, con servative management and integrity of the National bauks in Pennsylvania is shown by the fact that although there is U'.'T of them, there has not been a single failure. This is a recard for the State to 1 proud of. The Pittsburgh speaking of the so-called revision of the pension rolls," ei-ks : " If a man stands charged with re ceiving money by false pretense, is it not a privilege to him to bhow that the charge is false V No, emphatically no! The law holds the poorest wretch in the community in nocent until he is proven guilty. He that makes the charge must prove it. If the I'vM was to charge iu neighbor with obtaining money by fUee pretense it would mighty soon find itself accorded the privilege of proving its charge in a criminal court. The House of Representatives which will be convened on Monday next (7ia inst ) will consist of .IV. members, which is an increase of thirty-one members over the last House of the Fifty-second Congress, the admission of new States during the last Congress having increas ed that body to Stl. The present Hocse w ill be politically divided as follows: Democrats, 2! ; Re publicans, 127, end Populists, 5. Two metuliers-elett have died since the elec tion Mutch'.er, ( Dem lof 111 is State, and Fnochs, Hep ) of Ohio. On Tuesday laat Howard Mutchler was elected to suc ceed his father, and General Enochs will doubtless be succeeded by a Republican liini?r.artv divisions undisturbed. As - r i v there wiil be no contest for Speaker in the Democratic ranks, Mr. Crisp, Speak er of the last House, w ill be elected, and cneedv organization effect'!, lue ex- i j perieuce of the last House demonstrated the absolute necessity of emending the rules if busine is to be controlled and accomplished by the majority, and it w ill be entertaining to the old members to see gentlemen rising and advocating the proposed changes, who two yeers since were denouncing the Czarisra and '-tyranny" oi Speaker Reed. The ses sion bids fair to be protracted np till the rm!ar term commences, and there is n much for good or evil for the country to be exiected from its actions. Tub repeal of the Bilver purchasing clause in the Sherman bill is the harp of a thousand strings on which our Demo cratic contemporaries daily entertain the eountrr. The law has survived its use fulness and the Republicans as a party otindreidv to assist in iU repeal. The Democrats, however, are divided into two fierce factions on this subject, and hence the clamor of the Administration press, with the object of whipping in the mal.-ontei.tx. According to them, the sole cause of the present financial, mer cantile and manufacturing troubles, w hich have brought the country to the verge of a panic, is to be found in the purchase, monthly, of $4,VJ,000 ounces of silver, and they unite m declaring that the repeal of this clause of the law w ill instantly operate as a panacea for ail our present ills. Well, we have no doubt that the repeal will be accomplish ed at the coming extra session of Con gress, by Republican aid, and then we shall see what we shall see. But we are vastly mistaken if this will entirely re store confidence to the country, start np the suspended, mills and factories, return wages to their former scale and give em ployment to the thousands of now idle workingmen. The cause of our present troubles he far beyond tins. II is le threat of the dominant party to wipe out ail protective duties and "reform the tar iff" on a free trade basis that Las given pause to our manufacturing industries, lias compelled the stoppage of mills and factories, and reduced the w ages of labor. Men w ith their all invested in mining and manufacturing plants know not what L before them, and they wiil not blindly rush into the darkness of the future. The veriest tyro in business, the most stolid of workingmen, must know that it is the dread and uncertainty of com ing tariff legislation that has palsied the business of the entire country and that until definite action is taken by Con gress, then and only then will business adjust itself to the si'uation, be that for good or evil, for pr .pperity or otherwise. More Democratic Confessions. Fr.oi le Sc V.rk rr.. Jteni'K-ra'.ic cunfe.-aioi:s that the Cleveland canvass was based on fraud and falsehood are coming ihiik and fast. The other day Vie Vi.'. caili-1 atten:ion to the statement of the Nw York 7iW that the overthrow of tiie protective lanlT meant "necessarily pro tracted and i'mful surgery" for American industries- The free trade mung ft! as serts that reductions io the high wai:s of American labor "can hardly he avoided." Ex secretary of the Navy Whitney, in an interview published in a prominent Demo cratic onrau yeilerday, declares that "men and industries which have thrived on gov ernmental favor are bound io sutler when tba'.fnvor is withdrawn.'" ilark the contrast between these ominous confessions and the ante election pledges of the Democratic party. Not a line is to be found in any Democratic campaign editorial or speech about "painful and protracted sur gery," wa,je redactions or loss to "men and industries" as the result of Democratic vic tory. From the othcial declaration of the Chicago convention to the election ofOrover Cleveland every Democratic utterance prom ised immediate benefit to tha American people as the consequence of Democratic re turn to power. The wae earner and the farmer were assured from every Ixniocratic piatform that the eitc'.ioa of a Democratic President and Congress meant special pros perity fur them. Ttey were told that Mr. Cleveland's triumph wauldat once remove the "burdens" from their shoulders, that it wjuld increase wajes, raise the price of farm products and make money plentiful every where. Misled by tbe lying promise of "dollar wheat" and "belter times," multi tudes of farmers and workingmen voted tbe Dciiiocialic ticket. Kvery factory tbai closes, every mill tire that is hanked, every loom tliat lapses into idleness, every drop in the price of wtiea' and of wool bears witness to the folly of the voters who put their faith iu the gigantic Ieniocrat:c conspiracy of falsehood and deceit. Where are the men who, ex-Secretary Whitney cooly declares, are "bound to suf fer," when the shield of protection against foreign labor is snatched away ? They are the silk weavers of l'atrs'jn, confronted with the threat of idleness and poverty ; they are the ten thousand plate eiass work ers who have been turued into the streets oy the shutting down of every plale glass facto ry in America: they are the twenty thousand idle Michigan miners , they are the scores of thousand of factory operatives in the New Kn.-'and States who must submit to loss of wages and of indejien Jence ; they are the ! farmers who see the prices of their products j steadi'y falling ; they are the multitudes of unemployed ia New York and every great industrial center of the natiou. These are the chief victims of Democratic policy, whether that policy consists of a genera! ad valorem tanil of Ss per cent, on all irrpurts or whether it comprehends some other de vice for wrecking American industry and beggaring American la'xir. Mr. Whitney did not state the particular scheme of de struction which the Democracy will adopt; but be told the truth when he declare! that under Iemocratic rule the workers of Amer. ica were "bound to suffer." It is a pity that neither he nor his political associates had the niai-liness to tell tbe truth in the last! Presidential campaign. I A Modern Rhadamanthus. If Harroosburg, Ky., iu unknown before let it be celebrated henceforth as the dwell ing place of a modern Ithadamanthus. This wise and upright judge is named Caldwell, and we much regret that we have not his Christian name to further distinguish him. Hut fame will take care of him, and he shall have his place with that choice array of subtly wise judges who from Solomon down to Caldwell have proved that common sense is the older tain of justice and sometimes serves the purpose of law better than the infliction of prescribed penalties. Lsst week in HarroJsburg ever to b? remembered eight negro boys, ranging in age from 8 to H years, were arrested in the very act of burglarizing a bouse the owners of which were absent fur the summer. They were promptly arrtigned in tbe police court over which presided tbe Kentucky F.hada manthus. Now here was a chance to rid society of an octet of conscienceless young soouaarels by heading some of them toward the reform school and '.he older ones toward the penitentiary. The opportunity was a great one. How did Judge Caldwell meet it? By glaring savagely at the boys, roaring a homily at them, and packing them off to jail Not a bit of it. He did what Solomon would have done. He summoned into court the mothers of the boys aud told tbem if they, in the open court, would give the young rascals a first class whipping tbe court would hoid that to be a euttlcicnt punishment in lieu of jailing. The proposition was eagerly accepted, and next morning tbe women came to court armed wilh rawhide whips. Tbe boys were brought in, a spate was cleared, and the castleation becaa. The biowi were laid on 1 in good earnest and there were yells and howls intolerable to hear. Now and then too great severity caused the judge to in terpose a humane admonition, and when his Honor thought enough punishment had been inflicted he bad the women desist and the ululating mob of truly repentant boys wa led away down the afreet. There was a crowd of witnesses to this most novel disposition of youthful burglars, and many of the specatort no doubt were of the opi nion that public whippings under legal direction hare a very great punitive value. Anyway, Judtfe Caldwell, of Harrodaburg, deserves immortalily. later "fin. Th New Roaa Law. Tbe road law passed by tbe hist legislature and signed by Governor Pattison is regarded as a practical measure, one, it is thought, which will result in a reform in tbe matter of road making, in some of tbe districts at least, throughout the country. By this act tbe taxpayers of any township or road dis trict are enabled to contract for making the roads at their own expense and paying sala ries of township or road district officers and thereby prevent tbe levy and collection of a road tax in such township or road district. Tbe process by which this right ia to be acquired is as follows : Any one or more tax payers desirous of acquiring the said right shall, before tbe beginning of any township fiscarrear, present to the court of quarter sessions of the county in which said right is desired, Belling out that he, she, it or they are the owners of property assessed for road purposes in said township, or roed district, the number of miles of public road in said township or road dis'rict and tbe desire and ability of the petitioner or petitioners to lay out, open, make amend and repair the pub lic highways and bridges of said township or road district wholly at his, her, its, or their own expense for the ensuing township fiscal year, ar.d to pay the other expenses of said towuship without any right against or claim upon said township or road district for or by reason of the materials, labor or money fur bished. The work is to be done under the direction of the supervisor, who is required to view and inspect the making and repairing of the roads in his distrh-t at least once every month and I fully satisfied that the peti tioners have fully complied with their con tract, and for this service the supervisors shall each receive the sum of f M per year. It likewise will be the duty of the super visor to notify the contractors, if at any time he sees the roads need repair, and if they j fail to repair the road as required, be is em powered to purchase such materials and em ploy such men as may be necessary to re pair said roa Is and charge the same to the contrsctors. Iu addition to the salary provided fjr to be )id to the supervisors for supervising the work the petitioners or contractors will be required to pay to the township clerk to each of the towuship auditors to the township attorney J.Xiand to each supervis or t-V.'. They will also be required to exe cute a bond in a sum equal to i-Vi for each and every mile of public road in said town ship, with sureties conditioned for the faith ful performance of their trust. The practical eilect of the bill will be felt more particularly in the township in which he greater amount of the taxable property is held by one or more jiersons or corpora tions and subsequently pay the most of the tax assessed, which in too many instances goes to other purp jses than that of the re pair of the streets. It ia believed that the corporations will willingly embrace the op portunity of freeing themselves from the heavy road tax generally levied, by under taking to keep the streets in projr repair, and it will be the mission of the supervisor to sec that it is done properl y. A wealthy Farmer Buncoed. On Monday last two strangers called on Hubert Elliott, a wealthy farmer of Jeffer son township, Fayette county, and repre sented that they were opliouing coal lands. They exhibited a number of options they had taken in the neighborhood and said they warned to option his. They offered him a good round price for his coal, which he readily agreed to accept. In the course or the conversation tLcy told Elliott there was big money in options that they held, and they aould like to take them all up at once, but they hadn't money enough. They exhibited i-V'A and said they needed $.!.tKJ more. If he would go in with them and get tbe money at once tbey agreed to let him have a half interest in the whole fs.iao of coal for for j3X. Tbe offer was a liberal one and the $5,000 in cash was there to back it up. They agreed to leave the options and the money with him as a guaranty. Elliott was won by their plausible taik and the promise of big profits and agreed to furnish the J-'!,0i, He went at once to Fayette City and drew i,'""' from tbe bank. The three counted out the money at Elliott's house. $s,tjo in ail, and placed it along with the leases in a box, which tbey left with Elliott. the strangers then left to lock U;i some more options that night. ' After they had gone Mrs. Elliott grew sus picious and imparted her suspicions to her husband. Tbey pried open tbe box, but the i.Goo wasn't there. The box was filled with brown paper. Reunited After 21 Years , After a sep iration lasting 21 years, John H. Morrison and his wife, of Lincastsr, Pa., have been reunited. In H13 'Squire Mor rison wedded Miss Fry, in York county, and five years later came here to reside. He remained here for two years; and, meeting business reverse, went west, leaving his wife and four daughters here, and nothing was heard of bini ualil last March, when an advertisement for a wife appeared in a Har- risburg paper signed John H. Morrison. It was seen by one of his daughters. She an swered it. Morrison received 'il7 answers to his advertisement, but replied only to the one written by his daughter. Ia the corres pondent that followed their relationship was disclose i, and when he learned his wife was still living he made arrangements to take her io his western home, A letter re ceived yesterday states that they recognized each other on sight at tbe railway station in Oklahoma. Robber's Daring Raid, Lascastir, Fa., July 2). As the result of a tight itobert Ilea had with a burglar early yesterday morning, Calvin Miller, a neero, is in jail. A colored man went to Eea's bouse near Georgetown, called tbe owner to a window and knocked him sense less. The burglar then broke open the door, rushed upstairs and drove tbe other mem bers of the U -a family out of the house. The ferlc robber ransacked the place and got away wilh a watch aud other articles. Mr. Ia is suffering from a drep wound on the Lead where be was struck wilh a stone. When officers tried to arrest Miller be fought so desperately that he was only sub dued by a threat to shoot him. Mill Closed. Nw Yoek, July S!. For tbe first time in A' years tbe carpet mills of Alexander Smith & Sons, cf Yonkerr, closed ht night. This is tbe largest carpet manufacturing house in tbe United States. It employs up wards of 4 .000 persons, and turns out on an average SJ5 rolls, or about 4,400 yards of carpet daily. For the employee the blow is tempered to some extent for the present, as the company has decided to run the mill 1 three cays each week. Highwaymen Abroad. Wahikoto. Pa , July 30. An evenirg or two ago Robert Frazse, who resides near Venceville, this county, was returning to bis home from this plae, when on a lonely piece of road he was held op and robbed I y three men.

A gold watch and $I(.'5, everything of value Mr. F razee carried, changed hands, and tbe three men disappeared, without leaving any das. Coming In Droves. Can too. July 31. tine thousand unem ployed men reached Chicago yesterday n freight trains over the various western rail roa Is running into the city. Tbcy scattered as soon as they reached the suburbs for fear they might be arrcxted. On- man gave the name of G. K. Jensen, and said : "We came from Colorado. I aus a machinist. Tbe mints shut down there and factories began to close. Governor Waite made bis memor able speecb about the coming revolution, in which be was going to 'ride in blood to his horse's bridle,' Then capital became timid. banks failed, factories closed and labor be came as frightened as capital, and now every werk man who can get out of that State is going. The men in this crowd are not tramps. They are mechanics and workers iu mines, and Colorado will see the day that it would like to have them back in its lim its." The number of men out of work in Chi cago is larger now than probably ever be fore. Only 12.000 OnTh Fair Grounds. CuiCA.iO, 111., July Opened to-day by compulsion and tbe fear of legal com plications, the World's Fair attracted only liOCiO visitors, and this handful were lost on the Park, Around the buildings an occasional visitor could be seen, but aside from the guards leisurely parading op and down the valks there was little signs of life. Most of the visitors started at once for the Midway Plaisance and remained there, but at ttat plaoe only the beer gardens and music pavilions had fair patronage. It was very plain that people refused to be forced to go to the Fair. The Exposition managers did not want it open and neither did the public but it was a case o necessity. and it cost the Fair a big sum of money. All the buildings were accessible aud all the concessionaires who cater to public comfort were doing business, such as it waa. Thus passed what was probably the last open Sunday of the Exposition. Failure Since May. Baltimore, Md.. July 27. A summary of the hank failures in the United States from May 1 to July 22 inclusive, shows that U"l banking institutions with a capital of .'JS.Uol.iCS suspended.

Tried to Kill His Keeper. Pirr.-BiEii, July 2S. William Lancaster, a negro convict in the Western penitentiary, made a desperate attempt to murder John McVeigh and Albert Ilese, overseers in the mat department yesterday afternoon. He cut McVeigh's throat but the wound is not deep enough to be fatal. The two overseers were talking near a stone where the pris oners were employed in the mat shop sharp ening their knives. Lancaster came to sharpen his and when McVeigh's back was turned he made the assault. McVeigh shook him off and retreated. Lancaster turned on lUse, hut missed him. Ilese drew a revolver. Lama-ter threw a brick at Itese. whereupon llee C.-ed but missed the negro. Hearing the shot Warden Wright cimr to the overseers' assistance aud Lancaster was put in a dungeon. The negro would have been liberate! to day had he not made an attempt to break jail at Washington, for which six mouths were added to his first sentence. Collector at New York. New York, July 2s. A sensation was created this evening when the announce ment came from Secretary Thurber, at Washii gton, that President Cleveland had appointed ex-Justice Jamee T. Kiibreth, of this city, to be Collector of this city, to be Collector of Customs for the district of New Aork, and Walter II. Bunn, of Cooperitown, N. Y., to be Appraiser of Merchandise, both places having been made vacant by resigna tion. The Tammany pe-jple assert that these ap pointments prove the President's purpose to ignore the loyalty of Tammany to tbe ticket Dst November ; though they profess to feel no disappointment. A Father of Forty-Five. IIaleicu, N.C.July 2. The fecundity of the negro race has been the subject of much comment and discussion. A case come to light in this Stale that is one of the most re markable on record. Moses Williams, a negro farmer, lives iu the Eslem section cf this Slate. Heiso5 years old (as nearly as he can make out), but does not appear to be over oJ. He has been married twice, and by the two wives has had born to him 45 children. By the first wife be had 23 children, 20 of whom were girls and three were boys. By the second wife he had 22 children, 21) girls and two boys. He ais3 has about 50 grand children. The case is well authenticated. Lizzie Borden's Visit to Jail. Tacstox, Mass., July 27. A simple friendiy visit on the part of Mi;s Lizzie Borden, of Fad Itiver, to Sheritr Wright's family, at the jail here to-day, led to the sending ol sensational teiegrams all over the country.
