If the (irand Jury's ttprt. on the
condition of UrunKwiek County's Court
ifoujH, an anahsis of which appeared
)u last week's 1ka;kh, was one of ex
ceptions, how shall tlie report of tin;
jail Ikj judged? It, is certainly to be
)MitKtl that the next (irand Jurv will
. . .
pifike such a rcoit as to mean some
thing, that the examinations may Ik
thorough, that a temporary cleaning,
a little sawdust and whitewash will not
blind it to the real conditions which
exist, and then a rejMirt wilf be maIe
which will Mot ' dodge or contradict,
hilt one which will Mate Iositivkia
and iioxksti.y the conditions of the
County "-buildings, and not only recom
mend the necessary improvements,
but see to it that a (irand Jury's report
pieans business.
The Inst report on the jail reads
contnulidorily. whatever '.may have

The rejort says, "We found the build
ing neat aud clean," but in a few sen
tences further ahng coiuvs this state
ineiit, "We find that the appearance
of the jail both exterior and interior is
,S()T very neat," recommending'cveu'!
that 'money Ikj spent, 41y which it
could be niaije' tnrat. "
vCg'aih tlie' retwrf savs of the jail,
fU is fairly strong," but in another
rentenco- reebmmouds that monev be
spent on it "By which it could be made
strong." . .
That the jail t neither ''neat" nor
strong" is notorious, and theexpendi.

A (iH)l) CORN CHOP.
Dispatches from the various market
centers from day to day speak of
prices of corn as affected in large
measure, by the weather prevailing at
the time.
lo many teoplc this seems to be
i i i i r S
rather foolish, because any phase of
. ' 'i e i ' ,, I
can make little difference with the
i crop.-y To a certain extent this is true,
but closer invest.gation of the subject

The shrewd spvculaior in grain has

days longer, to assure a large. crop of

see a very large increase in exports of
maize for feeding the middle and Jower
classes of Europe. ATt hough kurope
can find wheat supplies in'many coun
tries, the United 'States does and must
always furnish its entire supply of
maize." A prominent Xew York com
mercial authority advises "grain-buyers
to be careful, as although Kurope must
have bread it does - not follow that
more wheat than u&ual will be talcen.
"And when," he says, "it conies to a
