WHEAT.

The cause of the continued high
prices of wheat in San Francisco,
over any other point in the United
States. is thus accounted for: The
farmers in California, in anticipa-
ton of drouth IN that State, have
been holding back their wheat. An
expected demand from China and
Europe, and a direct competition
between shippers and millers, as well
as the looked-for demand for seed
wheat from farmers, are given as
the leading causes. Whether these
high prices will continue, depends
on contingencies not very safe to
trust. Those who sell their wheat
now are thought by wheat critics
70 be pursuing the best course On
account Of the prices r,,lina now :
many farmers are preparn,y ii z nlant
wheat On larger scale dan ever
before: 1t is Thought that nex1
years crop viii be twice as larse as
this years. 8

The Reason.

The Democratic party may arrive
at the correct solution of the recent
Republican problem in Calitwnis,
by looking at the otE years Of
Delnocratic rule in that State, aid
especially by analyzing the deeds eff

the platform pn which they rode
into power They promised en- tie

duced, and also-aEd here their
earnestness was most CONSPICUOUS
the claims of the working 1aas,
should be especially attended TO.
None of these promises were kept
The intelligent voteHs among the
working men, and the party gener-
ally, saw, in the iniquitous MANNER

New York, just at this time, is
more concerned with its thieves and
aburtiolist, than anything else.
The latter crime seems to be OH the
Increase, not oisly il, New Ycrk, but
throughout the land. There are
places where there is a perceptible
diminution OF the population from
this cause. because of the incon-
veiielce, PAIN ard anxiety COLI
nected with maternity, a,id tie rear
ing OF children, wives in respectable
. families are resorting to tie abor-
tionists, or nostrums gotten up by
them, to tlIwart the operations of
nature and be rid Of the burdens OF
honorable wcdlock. They seem to
be unaware of the crimii.ality of the
act. Either this is the case, or else
| their consc:elces have become so
! scared, and their moral perceptions
SO bluitel, as to he utterly callous

man. Is there anything that can
be done to stop this increasing tide
of iniq,,ity and sin? Is not public
sentiment too n.d,ilgeIit Do we
not give encouragement by our 81
lencc? We may increase the pen
alties of the laws against seduction,
but so long as the abortiolist is per
mitted to practice his crimes, torni-
cation will not diminish. Laws,
however, are unavailing, unless
backed by public sentiment. The
medical fraternity can do much
here; and our ministers should lift
their voices in Burning coIldemna-
ton against this crying evil, until
public sentiment rises III emphatic

The people of England are evil
IDENTITY growing tired of royalty.
The luxury is becoming too expen-
sive to suit the growing republican
sentiment of that people. People
that live without work, and have
to be supported in very extravagant
habits by the State, though ti'ey
may be the SONS and daughters of
royalty, are nothing bat royal pau
eers; and SO they are now being
esteemed. by many of the English
people. We noticed not long ago
that Atr. Dixon, member Of the
House of Commons from Iiirinnig-
ham, opposed the granting Of All
allowance of fifteen thousand pounds
ayeae to Prince Arthur, desiring to
reduce It TO ten thousand pounds.
And while this opposition, ard that
of Others, was transpirllIg in the
House of Commons, a very cuthu-
siastic meeting was being held in
Trafalgar Square, by the Democrats,
for the purpose of protesting against
the granting of any allowance what
ever to Prince Arthur. The people
know that Queen Victoria has
amassed large amount of money
by savings from her salary, largely
increased by the legacy of one mill-
ION pounds received few years ago,
and they think, and very properly,
too, that she ought to support and
grant allowances to her children out
of her abundant means, and not eN-
pect it of the people of Great Brit
ain, wle are already too heavily
taxed. They can not see how it is
possible for them to diminish their

The complications among the
Tammany thieves seem to be grow
ing Ho better fast. In our last issue,
Mayor Hall had addressed a com
mpunication to Connolly, Controller,
requesting him to resign. An in
junction was under adviscmeat by
Judge i'ar:.arl. since then, the
Judge grated an injunction re-
>tra;l,;isg the city authorities from
paying any further bills against the
city, except regular salaries, water
and gas bills, and educational bills,
IN excess of' the amount set apart by
the l'oarl OF apportiolment; and
that 10 further money should be
paid from the city treasury until
that Board wasreorganizcd. 4Atter
this, stronger pressure than ever
was brought to bear on TIE Cor
trolIer by the Mayor to persuade
him to resign. Instead OF doing SO,
Connolly appointed a Mr.. Green
deputy and turned the Office over to
him. He refused entirely to resign,
OF yacate his office, citing the May
or's answer in court, that he had 10
power il 50 disposed to remove tie
Controller. Mayor Hall then wrote
a letter to tie heads of the various
Departments, repudiatnlg all Off
cial knowledge of Connolly or Greei
as duputy. In consequence Of this
the city paymaster refused to pay
any more warrants issued or signed
by either OF them. All public work.
