HOG AS I) HOMlKI.

The Manufacturers' Journal of Baltimore is congratulating tbe South on its corn erop of 53S.000.000 bushels. Whenever the. day shall come that will find the Southern States raising all the corn ther consume without de creasing tbe sugar, cotton and rice crops which are always cash products, it will usher in a period of pecnlisr progress. Corn is a staple food for man and beast in the South, and strange to say the Southern people hare for a long period pursued the policy of buying from the North to a large extent the corn they consume when they possessed erery requisite of soil, climate and labor to produce it themselves. A wiser practice in the premises is beginning to obtain.

The people are eoming to see the importance of making their own prorisions, but they hare not reached that position of independence which is demanded by erery consideration of thrift and eoonomy. We will still be forced to buy from the North and West a large portion of the hog product we consume, because tbe climate in tbe Gulf States is not farorableto the packing of pork. Nevertheless that can be done in the northern part of the Gulf belt and should be done much more than it is. Let ns produce as much hog meat as we can, and all tbe hominy we need. That will mean the thrift and economy which will lead to independence and wealth.

The Southern corn crop now being harvested or in the fields ia some 40,000,000 bushels more than last year, bat the increase, while it is flattering, does not meet all tbe demands. When we produce our own food crops the cotton, cane and rice will be the planter's profit. THE CHICAGO WUKAT DK1L. When the June corner in wheat last year collapsed, with the result of large and disastrous failures, thoroughly shaken confidence and the sending of some of the prime movers to the penitentiary, it was thought that no one would again hare the hardihood to at tempt corner. But some one has bad the hardihood, howerer.

and whether he had more money or more nerre than his he has sucoeeded where they failed. September wheat at $2 per bushel and all other months higher than $1 was the report from Chicago yesterday, and just what will be the actual result when the flurry is orer is hard to say. If these gigantio speculatire mores hurt only those engaged in thera no one would possibly be found to ob- jeot, but it is generally the incautious public that is fleeced, and the prices of the necessaries of life are artificially inflated or depressed beyond all reason. In this instance the raising of the cost of wheat beyond what the exigen cies of supply and demand warrant has stepped exports, and restricted home eoasumption to the detriment of the farmer, who 'is thereby deprired of a market for his goods. The advance in wheat has been based upon heary snortages in crops, promising a much hearier de mand for export than usual.

While these shortages undoubtedly do exist and high prices are to be expected, nothing like the figures now demanded are likely to be paid by the exporters. These repeated corners in wheat hare been the principal cause of the decline in. the foreign demand for American grain, and hare given an impetus to the growing of wheat in India and Bussia, where cheap labor has so lessened the ralue of the article that, barring years of scarcity, the cost of the world's principal breadstuff has been permanently lowered. Ill COmOYERST OVER TEE LATE GEESAI ESPEEOE'S DIAEY. The excitement in Germany orer the recent publication of extracts from the diary of the late Emperor Frederick continues unabated.

The matter is discussed in angry tone by the press and is debated with riolenee in places of pub-lio resort. But no one has been more distnrbed by. tbo publication than Prince Bismarck, who has at least two good and sufficient reasons for bis evident annoyance. In the first place, Frederick, in the extracts imputed to him, claims to hare taken the initiatire in the formation of the present German Empire against Bismarck's opposition to that arrangement, and if that claim obtains credit the old Chancellor will be deprired of his brightest laurel. He would prefer to be regarded as the author of a consistent and continuous polioy of German aggrandizement and national unity which began with the war with Denmark snd was consummated by the war with France but if it is made to appear that he has not been playing a carefully calculated game with erery more in riew from the outset he must lose a great part of his reputation for farsighted and comprehensive statesmanship.

It is easy to understand then that he must have been greatly startled by the publication of Frederick's claim. Whether he has displayed his usual sagacity in denying the genuineness of the extracts is very questionable. At any rate his denial has not had the desired effect for we are informed that "the comments of the press concurrent with the tenor of private disoussion do not question the authenticity of the diary." It is possible that Frederick may have overrated the importance of his own advocacy of the national consolidation of Germany, and it may be that he was mistaken in regard to Bismarck's attitude towards that measure. Bismarck affirms that he was not at liberty to confer with Frederick upon affairs of state, and it may be, that his reticence may hare misled he then- Crown Prince. The problem to be solred was one of great intricacy and difficulty, and its solution might hare been rendered impossible by premature and indiscreet revelations.

The second objection of Bismarck to the publication in question is that the liberal movement in German politics has thereby been much encouraged. Badioals as well as Conserrstire Liberals are delighted by the discovery that Royalty itself has been dissatisfied with the status quo in Germany snd has cherished a project for the liberalization of the government of the empire. Snch ft disclosure could but dis gust so obstinate ft supporter of tbe imperial prerogative as Prince and there is reason to believe that the present Emperor is equally annoyed. We must rentember that it is the Emperor William's father whom the Conservative press is permitted to attack with partisan virulence. Ordinarily comments of that nature would be promptly suppressed; but the interests involved transcend all considerations of family pride and filial devotion.

The political convictions and personal aspirations of the Emperor differ totally from those of his father. The indications are that he will attempt to conduct a strictly personal government, and that he would be glad of an opportunity to achieve renown by repeating the military triumphs of his grandfather's reign. It was reported during Frederick's last illness that there was a lack of sympathy between him and his heir, and it is now understood that the tatter's relations with his English mother are by no means so eordial as they should be. The history of the controversy between Dr. Mackenzie and tbe German medieal men over the treatment of the Emperor Frederick's ease serves to confirm these rumors.

The matter is unpleasant and unsavory in all its phases, and its discussion has served to demonstrate the existence of the most unfortunate divisions in the royal house of Prussia but it is not probable that its immediate consequences will disturb the peace of Europe or materially change the relative strength of the several political parties in Germany. Astrology for October. Zadkiel, tbe London astrologer, makes up the eelestlal prog oscioatione The planetary positions at the new moon are very similar to those at the autumnal equinox ana are favorable to the expansion or trade and commerce and tbe bnoyaner of the funded interest tue shipping trade will beta gtxXL ease.

The amount of damage la about 10 per cent. While there are fields which do not show the effects of the frost in the least, there are others which are ruined and will never be harvested. Samples taken from the sheds of the early harvested show that the orop Is curing out nicely and the quality superior.

Probably one-fourth of those assessed yesterday and today were Catholics, and this ia spite of tbe advice of Archbishop Williams, expressed through the that Oatbollo women should refrain from rotiag. It Is reported in Protestant circles that the Catholics bare been urged to rote by the priests to counteract the movement against their church that Is now attaining somewhat threatening proportions, but tills is doubtless bora of the fear that euea a result msy follow.

It Is a noteworthy fact that the largest registration ef women so far has come from one of the strongest Bepublican wards of, the city.

Mrs. Smith from the home farm likes her tea, eake. tartine, quite as well as Lady Hautly from tbe ball, bat wnile her ladyship likes a dainty 111 tie cup of tea just freshly made, will only eat bread and batter of the thinnest, and with the neatest of earls, and yields only to the fascination ot the rery moat dainty sandwioh ot some Impossible Mrs. Smith likes her tea 'well requires- a of bread snd batter (my lady's delicate tartine would 'taste of the knif e' to her), and by no means despises a good, solid. hunch of cake.

All these tastes mast be studied and entered for, and, moreover, require wary offering, or Mrs. Smith of the farm will declare 'those girls in their flyaway dresses think anything good enough for as' while Lady H. will shrug her shoulders and wonder 'when those poor creatures think she is going to dine 1' It Is wonderful how touchy people are orer their food." Could the difference between the two countries be shown more plainly by pages from an international norel The waitress who "discriminates" In this country is lost. Bbe must treat everybody precisely alike, with an air of being mentally far away and eoming baok now and then for a brief Interval, during whioh nothing warmer than toleration animates her soul, and she must always give Its exact opposite to everybody who specifies any preference. In this way she will not only seem like a real waitress but will keep her customers in proper subjection to ber real self.

DRAINAGE IN LAFOURCHE. Thibodaux Sentinel: A subscription is being made in the third drainage district for the purpose ot buying a dredge-boat to do the work required in that part of the parish.

We understand tbat Messrs. Gay and Price, of the Acadia plantation, have beaded tbe subscription with a contribution of $1000, and there is every prospect that the remainder of the cost of the dredeeboat say $5000 will be easily raised among the property holders of the district. The intention is that the subscribers to tbe fund to bny tbe boat will be its owners in proportion to tbe amount subscribed. The money needed to ran the boat will be raised by a special tax, which will be submitted to the proo-erty taxpayers in accordance with the provisions of an act of the general assembly, passed in 1888. This is a most importaut more, and when the work of dredging the third drainage district shall be completed, a raet quantity of most raluaole land will be reclaimed and put into cultivation.
