THE TRAVEL-LOVING PROPENSI-

The tide Of travel still continues unaba-

pleasure travellers is unusually large. In
creased receipts on railway lines and steam
boats. is unmistakeable evidence of the ac-
tiviiy of our population.
1t has been frequently remarked, tina,
Americans are inappeaseable in their pass

the young and middle-aged. The passion
pervades all classes and all ages, as we per-

Still they will GO. These aspirations 10

THE WHEAT CROP OF 1916.

The wheat cop ofthe United States fog
this year, is estimated at 125 100000 Of

was the largest ever previously raised in this
country was I03, 900, 900. The increase OF
%. OF, 900 shows moi less the large adi,.on-

The crop Of Michigan is comparatively
larger thin that OF any other Stale in the t.
mon. With population of no, over 4O0,-
900, she raises this year at least 1000 600
bushels of wheat. The quail ,y is also Of The
very best. The Wolverines ave sloryiny
in their abundance, and they say they can
furnish Europe with all the bread she may
need. The Central railroad now brings
down 10 Detroit 10000 bushels of wheat

The editor of the Madison Argus a
week or two since, made assertions TO the
effect, that at Madison last winter, he had
been personally approached by Mr. Brown
editor ofthe Courier, and member'of the
Council (Mr. Kneeland, we suppose) with
promises and threats TO induce him 10 sus-
tain the project of resnsitatmg Bank a,
Milwaukee. I'm the last Courier, Mr.. Brown
and Mr.. kneeland, positively deny these
assertions, proclaiming them false. The
Democracy of the territory feel some little
interest in the matter, as it is important for
them TO know Wlo are their friends and who
their enemies. We must thick that in The
question of vcraci,y between them that.,he
general opinion must side in favor of Smith.
We all know that Mr.. Brown both person.
ally and in his paper id advocate the re-
suscitation of the defunct Bank; we know
also that Mr.. Kneclahd, il not the father,
was al least the nurse OF the project III the
Legislature; TO believe then that they might
have, or did approach Suiih as stated, re-
quircs no great stretch of creduliiy. We
say. in view Of the facts with which all are
acquainted, the popular opinion, will nalu-
ially side with the Argus. We should not
speak of these things, were they not matters
which coaceru us at large; il being impor-
tant TO the party, Tor permanent success,
that they censure not where it is not dcserv-
cd, nor take 10 their confidence those who
have manifesteda DETECTION from principle.
We have no doubt that at present both Mr..
Brown and Mr.. knedland are fully satisfied
OF their an,-democraiic conduct last win
ter and much desire TO get rid Of the odium
but ihey,woud do vastly better TO make an
honest confession, with honest repentance,
than 10 strive TO pull down others, in clam
herring back themselves. but still, although
abe Courier did err last winter we have a
confidence that there is j basis Of honest
democracy in itsseditos, which whilst il leads
to keen regret, rs good guarantee that
such errors will be avoided in future. With
regard 10 the Argus,we haveliked its course
ia the main, from its establishment, and
consider it faithful sentinel on the watch
tower, deserving and worthy of the conf
dence and support of the party.

New YoRK ELECT oN.--The election n

our latest dates it was uncertain which party
had the ascendancyin the House of Repre-.
sentatives; the vote being close. In The Sen.
ate the Democrats are in the ascendant. So
far as we have looked at the vote, il seems TO
be largely in favor of Convention to re-mod
el the Constitution. The vote appears to
have been very light throughout the state,
which with the divisions that existed among
the Democrats in many Of the counties, ac'
counts for result comparatively unfavorable
TO the Democrats. 1t is not we'll that wings
should ever be IN the ascendant, but ifsuccess
full now, we doubt not il will be productive OF
