The Providence R. I. Press says the
Democracy might easily select a worse

Hewitt and is likely to do so. This may
be true, but it is singular that Republican

that they are suspicious that the Republi

The agitation in favor ot enforcing the
Sunday law in St. Louis is attracting a
great deal of attention in that city. The
church people insist that the saloons
shall be closed on Sunday, and the bar
tenders given a rest. The saloon men de

to keep their bartenders at work on >uii
days as the good deacons have to force
their coachmen to drive them to church.
Thus far neither party seems to have
much advantage in the argument.
The latest reports of the com crop in
Georgia are unfavorable. The drought
has been general up to this date, and in
some si-etions. notably in Southwestern
Georgia, the damage serious. A few lo
calities have had tardv showers, improv
ing matters somewhat, but in others, and
by far the most numerous, the damage
has been so great as to induce the belief
that the crop has been cut off at least one
half. The reports probably exaggerate
the situation to some extent, hut there is
no doubt that a large majority of the
farms in the Sate are suffering consider
able damage from drought at this time.
The prediction is made that Glad
stone will he the last party leader who
can hold the Whigs and Radicals together
in the English Liberal party. The growth
of Radicalism has been checked by skill
ful management. but the pro
gress from the conservatism
of half a century ago to the liberalism of
to-day has been marked. There is no
doubt that the reign of the next British
sovereign will witness changes far greater
than any that have occurred since the
accession of W illiam IV. It is not probable
that the revolution will l>e marked
by violence. The forms of parliamentary
procedure are sufficient to jiermit of the
growth of Republican ideas and dispense
with the throne and its adjuncts. The
era of agitation is not far off. and the fore
most advocates of reform wouid gladly
hasten its approach.
There are heroes and heroines the world

Last Saturday, in the Charity Hospital,
of New Orleans, as grand an institution
of its kind as there is in the w orld. Sister
Benigna calmly and peacefully breathed
her life away in prayer, kissing the cruci
fix with her last breath. She was eighty
five years of age. For fifty-one years in
the hospital she ministered to the wants
of the sick and suffering. During the
years of the tearful epidemics, when
the fever daily counted its ’victims
by the hundreds, she was at her post. She
was faithful always, whether soothing
the pains of the living or offering consola
tion to the dying. No maible shaft, per
haps. will mark her grave, but her life of
self-sacrifice is a monument grander than
can be built of marble.
In our dispatches this morning it is
stated that the informer. Carey, has been
shot to death. The killing took place as
he was leaving the ship at Port Elizabeth,
South Atriea. His slayer, O'Donnell,
who is now in custody, was a passenger
on the same vessel. The probabilities are
that he took passage on the vessel for the
purpose of killing Carey. It was
stated when Carey left Ireland
that the government alone
knew his destination, and that
the secret would be well kept. It
seems, however, that the government
was not the sole depository of the secret.
Carey was forced to leave Ireland by the
government. He expected a reward for
becoming a government wit- j
ness, but no reward was
tendered him. His wife and children
were placed on shipboard, his prison doors
were throwu open, and he was told that a
ticket had been purchased for him and
that he could join his family or not, just
as he pleased. He knew that there was
no salety for him in Ireland. His only
hope of safety was in joining his family.
It appears, however, that there was no
safety for him anywhere.
The Horror in Ischia.
Eighteen hundred and eighty-three
has already fairly earned the title
of the year of horrors. It opened with
holocausts and shipwrecks, and each
succeeding month has almost uniformly
added to the roll of disasters. The last
catastrophe, briefly reported yesterday
morning, fuller details of which are given
to-day, is the terrific earthqnake in the
•island of Ischia, near Naples. Tin
towns of Casamicciola, Forio ami
Lacco are reported to have
been completely destroyed. The
shock in its intensity and destructive
effects exceeded that which shook the
island of Chio in 1881.
Earthquakes, the most disastrous of ca
tastrophes. are quite common. It is esti
mated that fully a dozen of them, more or
less destructive to life and property,
occur every year, and that the surface of
tTie globe is never free from their con
tinued operations. When serious,
whole cities have l>een de
stroyed and fertile districts laid
waste. It is estimated that recorded
earthquakes have cost the lives of tully
13,000,0**0 human 1 icings. 60,000 person*
perished by the famed Lisbon shock, and
in the Calabrian earthquake, near theelose
of the last century. 40,000 lives were lost.
Earthquakes often change the whole
topography ofloealities. Egypt has been
singularly free from their effects, but was
visited in 1740 by a destructive one. The
effects of the Lisbon earthquake extended
on one side as far as the Southern Shores
of Finland. as far west as the
*t. Lawrence, and were felt in some of the
islands of the West Indies, an area of
over 7.300,000 square miles. Assuming
that the earth's crust affected was but
twenty miles in thickness, 150,0*10.000
cubic miles of solid 'matter were moved.
When the shock is near the shore or the
lied of the ocean, the earth wave is com
municated to the sea—the ocean swells,
retires from the beach, and a giant wave
rolls in upon the land. At the Lisbon
earthquake the sea rose sixty feet at
Cadiz. The most satisfactory theory of
these disasters attributes them to pulsa
tions in the fluid matter below the earth's
.-ru*t propagated in waves of translation,
caused by tension of elastic matter, and
floating forward on its surface the super
imposed rocky crust of the earth.
The island of Ischia, the scene of the
iast disaster, is aliout eight miles south
west of the Neapolitan coast. It is seven
miles long and four broad, and contains
about twenty-six square miles, being
about two and a half times as large as
the District of Columbia. Near its
centre Mount Eiiomeo, an extinct
volcano, rises to the height
of 2,600 feet. The soil is very fertile,
yielding superior wine, tigs, corn and
other products, sulphur abounds, and the
mineral springs are sought by many sum
mt-rj \ isitors. Casamicciola was situated
at the foot of Mt. Epomeo, and had a
imputation of 3,053 souls. Forio was
beautifully situated, had a tine harbor
and mineral baths, and a population of
6,704. Lacco was situated in the north
western part of the island, and had a
imputation of 1.503. The government has
taken prompt action in the premises, but
it will l>e several days ere the full
extent of the catastrophe can be learned.
Three thousand lives are reported to hav e
been lost. and the number of the wounded
must have been large. Relief movements
have been organized throughout Italy.
A few days ago, when it w as announced
in our dispatches that several -hip* with
cargoes of Egyptian rags were on their
way to imrts in this country, we stated
that the cargoes ought to lie burned as soon
as they arrived. From special Washington
dispatches it appears that the secretary
i.fthe Treasury ha* authorized the sur
geon General of the Marine Hospital Ser
vice to burn, if in his opinion it is neees
-ary for the preservation of the public
health, the cargo of Egyptian rags of
the steamship Bavaria, which left Liver
i*ool f<*r Boston last Wednesday.
The Secretary has decided that the con
tagious disease act. which created the
National Board of Health, expired on the
Ist of last June. In consequence of this
expiration the contagious and infectious
disease act of April 2'th, I*7*, is revived
and is now in force. Of course it was
known, that the National Board of
Health act has ceased to exist
anil that the act giving the Marine Hos
pital Service jurisdiction relative to con
tagious and infectious diseases was re
vived. but there had been no official an
nouncement of the fact Ik.* fore the an
nouncement of the Secretary last Friday.
In March, I*7!. a circular setting forth the
precautions that were to t*e used by the
Marine Hospital Service to prevent the
introduction of the plague, which at that
time was raging in Southern Russia, was
issued by Surgeon General Woodworth.
That circular, or the leading features of
it. has been revived by the Secretary. It
allows the Surgeon General to
do pretty much what he
pleases with ships and cargoes which are
regarded as dangerous to the public
health. It is pretty certain that Surgeon
General Hamilton will exercise his au
thority to the fullest extent in his efforts
to keep cholera and yellow fever from
getting a foothold in any of our
ports this season. He is on trial,
and is anxious to make a
record that will give his branch of the
public service such a standing before
Congress that the National Board of
Health will have no chance of lieing re
instated in [ower. The *urgeon General
does not think the country has much to
fear from yellow fever this summer. The
danger, he thinks, is from cholera.
The melon growers of South Georgia are
indignant because they think they have
not been treated fairly by the Boston line
of steamers. They are under the impres
sion that melons brought by the Central
Railway from other sections of Georgia
have been given a preference with respect
to time in shipping. South Georgia mel
ons which were on the wharf several days
liefore the melons which arrived by the
Central Railway were left to rot while the
Central Railway melons were forwarded.
This is what the indignant South
Georgia melon growers believe. If their
statement of the ease is in accordance
w ith the facts, they certainly have a right
to complain. We feel considerable in
terest in the matter, because we want to
see justice done to all parties interested.
The statement of the agents of the steam
ship company will be found in another
column. They are emphatic in denying
that they show preference to melons
coming from any section or reaching them
by any line of railway. In presenting
both sides of the controversy we have
done our duty, if any duty devolves upon
us in the premises.
The New York Herald's London cor
respondent sat s that tne syndicate headed
by Lord Penzance and two members of
Parliament, which is operating the
deal in Confederate bonds, actually
believes that the several lately
confederated States may in time
be induced to honor their obligations.
The plan is to cry down Southern credit
abroad. This last statement may be an
invention on the part of the talented cor
respondent. for the South can probably |et
all the foreign capital she may
need for her development. The
wonted dense ignorance of the English of
American affairs, however, encourages
us to credit the statement as to the san
guine expectations of the syndicate. The
Fourteenth amendment to the Constitu
tion. though, should dispel their dream,
even if the payment of the bonds could be
made at the time when they would be
due; that is, within so many years after
the conclusion of ieace between the Con
federacy and the United States. As the
peace specified has not been concluded up
to date it is not likely to be ever
announced.
Mr. Robert Garrett, First Vice Presi
dent of the Baltimore and Ohio Railway
Company, has issued an order giving all
the clerks and employes of the road two
weeks' vacation. Of course, their salaries
are paid while they are away. This is an
exhibition of liberality unusual among
railway managers. Air. Garrett, however,
will not lose anything by his generosity.
His employes will serve him all the more
faithfully, and will watch his interests in
a hundred ways now that they know he
feels an interest in them.
The President and the Southern
Exposition.
Unless something occurs to prevent
him. the President will be present at the
opening of the Southern Exposition at
Louisville to-morrow. There is no hint
that his visit has any political signifi
cance. He was invited by a committee
of distinguished Kentuckians who fairly
represented the people of the State,
and he accepted. He will, no
doubt, bear hiiaselt well. as he
always does on pubiic occasions,
and will ereate a favorable impression.
The newspapers will say some kind things
about him, which will tend to increase his
popularity. If he is a candidate for the
Presidential nomination of his party, he
undoubtedly fully appreciates the ad
vantages which will accrue to him from
the Louisville visit. The impression is
getting to be very general that he is a
candidate, and that he stands a better
chance of getting the nomina
tion than any other member ot
bis party that can now be named.
The replies received by the New \ork
Times , in answer to inquiries sent to all
parts of the country, showed that he was
second only to Blaine in popular esti
mation. It is admitted that popular as
Blaine is he cannot get the nomination.
Those of his friends who are authorized to
sfieak for him say that he recognizes this
fact, and that lie is making no effort to
secure the nomination. Ever since
Mr. Arthur became President he has
been trying to make himself popular in
the South. Among the first of hi* most
important acts was to send an extra mes
sage to Congress recommending a lilieral
appropriation for the improvement of the
Mississippi river. He put him self squarely
on record in favor of that great work, and
thus strengthened his administration
throughout the Mississippi valley. Some
of his closest friends are Southern Demo
cratic Senators and Representatives. He
does not. of course, expect any help from
Southern Democrats, in netting the nomi
nation, but be knows that popularity
w ith them will help him in various ways.
In the North it will lie said that he is
strong in the south, and may be able to
carry some of the Southern States. In the
South the prevailing sentiment will have
something to do with the selection of dele
nates to the National Convention, al
though the office holders will, as a rule,
make up the delegations. In several of
the Southern States, particularly where
there are interests which demand pro
tection, there are a great many in
dependent voters. A popular Re
publican candidate may catch these
voters and there may be enough
of them to give him one or two Southern
States. There is nothing to be gained in
the North now by exhibiting hostility or
bitterness to the South. The President is,
therefore, showing himself to be a shrewd
I>olitieian by endeavoring to strengthen
himself in the South in every possible way.
It is not improbable that in accepting the
invitation to be present at the opening of
the Southern Exposition he took into con
sideration the advantages the visit would
be to him from a political standpoint.

In the temple of Hanoi,*the citadel of

would depose him. They would give
him, however, another chance, and if he
even yet distinguished himself properly
they would retain him.
Among the many blundering dispatches

sage: “Will send vour bread, the coffee
is on the way.” The dispatch as sent
read: “Your brother is dead. The coffin
is on the way.” A hearse waited at the
Long Branch railway depot that night,
and the inn-keeper's family were there in
two carriages in half-mourning.

CEREALS.
Official Facts and Figures Concerning
Tlieir Growth—Special Census Report
on the Products of the United States.
Washington Special to Missouri Republican.
The Superintendent of the Census has
ju6t "received proof sheets of the special
report of Professor W. H. Brewer on the
cereal products of the United States. It
is regarded by the Census Office as one of
the most important and valuable docu
ments ever issued by the government. It
will make a book of over 165 folio pages.
Besides the elaborate statistical informa
tion contained in the report there are
chapters devoted to a history of cereals,
the varieties, physical and chemic&l char
acter of cereals, the relations of grain to
moisture, the cost and method of produc
tion. There are special chapters devoted
to wheat, corn, oats, barley, rye and buck
wheat. and containing discussions of the
varieties of these cereals, the diseases and
insects injurious to them, the time of cut
ting. etc. The volume will also contain a
HISTORY OF AMERICAN AGRICULTURE,
and a discussion of mixed farming land, im
plements and machinery, the relations of
cereal productions to live-stock growing,
and the movement and handling ol grain.
The following facts and information have
to-day lieen compiled from the report:
The total production of the six principal
cereal grains in the United States for the
census rear amounts in round numbers to
2,698,000,0*10 bushels, an average of 63.8
bushels ]>er head of the population, and
an increase of over 84 per cent, since 1870.
This increase is in part due to the culti
vation of new lands in the West and
Northwest, but more largely due to gain*
in fanning regions already occupied in
1870. The popular belief that the chief
increase in production and the rapid
growth of grain exports is due to the
cropping on new and cheap lands is not
sustained by the census ennumeration.
THE TABLES
of production show that the most of the
gain is in regions for some time in culti
vation and on lands ranging •from thirty
dollars per acre upward. The grain con
sumption per of population in the
United States is a fraction over forty
bushels, but in Europe it is less than
eighteen bushels. It is thirteen bushels
in Austria, thirty in Denmark, twenty
tour in France, twenty-three in Germany,
and twenty in Great’ Britain, sixteen in
Holland, nine m Italy, seventeen in Rus
sia and seventeen in" Spain. In isso Illi
nois stood first in cereal production, lowa
second and Missouri third. Illinois pro
duced sixteen and forty-eight hundredths
of the total, lowa thirteen and forty-four
hundredthsand Missouri nincaml twenty
two hundredths. The crop of live con
tiguous States—Ohio, Indiana, Illinois.
slissouri and lowa—amounts to over 52
per cent, of all our grain Most of the
grain of the United states is grown in re
gions where
MIXED FARMING
is practiced, and on farms ot moderate
size. By mixed farming is meant the
growiug of both green anil grain crops
and the production ot animals on the
same farm. The tables of distributioiv-by
topographical features show that the
“prairie region” produces over 37 per
cent., or about three-eighths of the whole,
the “Central region” following. These
two produce nearly as much as all the
other nineteen topographical divisions into
which the country is divided lor this in
vestigation. Considered by drainage
basins, the great Mississippi basin, of
course, leads all the rest. The tables of
distribution according to elevation show
that each of the grains has the largest
production at an elevation of between
live hundred and one thousand feet above
the level of the sea, where over 52 per _
cent, of the whole product is grown. Not ’
only is the
TOTAL PRODUCT GREAT AST,
but the proportion of each grain is also
greatest. The next highest proportion of
each grain is between one thousand and
fifteen hundred feet elevation, where
twenty-seven per cent, of the total is pro
duced. The next rank reached also by
each of the six grains is between one hun
dred aad five hundred feet, where eleven
per cent, is found. Thus over ninety per
cent, of the grain of the country is grown
between the elevation of one hundred and
fifteen hundred feet. The production of
bread grains belongs chiefly ~to the tem
perate climate, to the belt where, owing
to the winter's cold, comforts are secured
only by labor. Although the grains
grow only during the warm weather,
their production is chiefly in a climate of
cold winters, much of it where the
WINTERS ARK VERY COLD.
Over 4o per cent, is produced where the
annual temperature is between 45 and 50
degrees, 74 per cent, where it is between
45 and 55 degrees, *4 per cent, where it is
between 45 and GO degrees, and over 91
per cent, where it is between 40 and CO
degrees. The distribution, according to
annual rainfall, shows that 30 per cent, is
produced where this is between 40 and 45
inches, 00 per cent, where it is between
30 and 50 inches, and 83 percent, where it
is between 25 and 55 inches.' The tables
of distribution according to
MEAN JULY TEMPERATURE
{ average mid-summer temperature) show
that 47 per cent, is produced where this is
between 75 and 80 degrees and no per
cent, where it is between 70 and 80 de
grees. Considered according to the rain
fall of spring and summer, or the six
growing months, the tables show that 61
percent, is produced where this is )>e
tween 2*) and 25 inches and 97 per cent,
where it is l>etween 15 aud 30 inches. The
profitable cultivation Mf cereals on a
large scale is more dependent upon cli
mate than upon soil, and in the
United States the relative fertility
of the soil is but a secondary
factor in the matter of production.
In all the greater grain growing States,
except Pennsylvania, more than four
fifths of the grain farms are farmed by
their owners, It is very probable, in the
light ofall|our present knowledge, that not
less than 80 anil probably not more than
85 per cent, of the total grain produced
in the United States, one year with
another, is grown upon farms which are
occupied and managed by their owners.
The greater portion of the grain is grown
on farms of over one hundred acres; over
82 per cent, of the corn crop is produced
in the Mississippi basin.
ANOTHER SCANDAL
In the War Department—This Time a
Dost Chaplain Goes Wrong.
Washington Special , Xth.
The sVar Department has another in
teresting scandal on hand, the victim who
has tallen from grace this time being Post
Chaplain Toussant Alesplie. This oflicer
is a native of France and was commis
sioned from Idaho in August, 1882. Be
fore entering the army it is said he was a
volunteer missionary among "the Idaho
Indians, and now that he is under a cloud
some very unsavory stories are circulated
about his"carryings on between his In
dian flock and "certain post traders. The
I storv of his present difficulties, however,
is of a more recent date. About' a year
ago Chaplain Alesplie was granted sick
leave of absence. He went
West and overstaid his time,
and on being notified or that fact last
January he begged a further extension on
account of impaired health. Since then,
however, he has not been heard from until
several weeks ago, when word reached
the War Department that he had dupli
cated his pay accounts, but to what
amount is not made public. An inquiry
! into the matter further developed the fact
I that the Chaplain was last heard of in
London. England. It is not believed that
he will return, and in the meantime it has
been practically decided at the W ar De
partment that if he does not report within
a reasonable period he will be dropped
from the army rolls as a deserter. Ales
plie is well "known among the bankers
here, he having visited them frequently
while in this city to negotiate his pay
certificates.
The Star Route Civil Suits.
Washington Special Xetc York Sun.
The attorneys for the government are
confident of recovering large sums from
the star route contractors. Second Assist
ant Postmaster Elmer says that the proofs
will insure judgment amounting to be
tween one and two million dollars. Post
master General Gresham not only takes
a special interest in these proceedings, but
expresses confidence that the result will
be favorable to the government.
These civil suits, as well as the crimi
nal proceedings, have one important
feature for Mr. Gresham. If there have
been frauds they were committed with the
present machinery of inspection. Brady’s
machinery has never ceased to operate.
It is operating now. There has been no
change in the corps of inspectors since
the alleged star route frauds were dis
covered. 9 .
It is the special duty of the forty inspec
tors of the department to see that neither
useless nor dishonest contracts are made.
They are required to rei>ort regularly and
from personal knowledge to the depart
ment. If these inspectors, all of whom
are now in the service, were performing
their duty the department knew perfectly
well what frauds were being perpetrated.
If they failed of their duty, or were in
complicity with the defrauding contrac
tors, they ought at least to have gone out
•of office when the frauds were discovered.
The civil suits possess an especial in
terest for Postmaster General Gresham.
That officer is credited with the intention
of making certain and sundry changes in
the interest of reform in the administra
sion of the Post Office Department. His
acute, logical mind has not failed to per
ceive that the corps of inspectors has not
faithfully performed its duty.
It looks as though the star route ring
still existed and dominates the depart
ment. The corps of forty inspectors seem
to be so strongly intrenched as to be able
to defy any attempt to disturb them.

Hair Balsam the favorite for restoring the
youthful color to gray hair.

“REX MAGNUS.”
Unfailing Success of
The Humiston Food Preservative.
Report of Prof. Samuel W. Johnson, of
Yale College.
"My testa of 35 days in daily mean tempera
ture of 70 degress, on meats, etc., bought in
open market have certainly been severe and I
am satisfied that the different brands of Rex
Magnus, the Humiston Food Preservative,
with which I have experimented.
Have Accomplished all Claimed for Them
••So far as I have yet learned they are the
only prejxtrations that are effect ire. and at the
name time practicable, fbr domestic use. At
the banquet on -treated' meats at the Sew
Haven House I could not distinguish between
those which had been 16 days in my laboratory
and those neul-y taken from the refrigerator of
the hotel. The oysters were perfectly palatable
• and fresh to mv taste, and better, as it hap
pened, than those served at the same time,
which were recentlv taken from the shell. The
roast beef, steak, chicken, turkey and quail
were all as good as 1 have ever eaten.-’
Safe. Tasteless, Pure.
Rex Magnus is safe, tasteless, pure, and Prof.
Johnson a ids in his report: “I should antici
pate no ill results from its use and consider it
less harmful than common salt."
It is a perfect substitute for ice,heat, sugar,
salt or alcohol, in preserving food, and re
taining its natural flavor and sweetness—re
gardless of climates and seasons.
