WHEAT prospects in Holt county
arc not very promising. The absence
of seasonable rains at the time it was
sown in the fall, and the severity OF
the winter, it is said. have damaged IT
to such all extent as to approach an en-
fire failure. There is but an OCCASION
al field where the wheat presents any
sign OF life. Mr.. I. Mccoy of Benton
township, who sowed a considerable
belt Of fall wheat, thinks hc won
save two acres out Of a hundred. All
examination of the roots showed thai
most of them were dead. In view OF
this state of things the farmers there
are bctaking themselves to sowing con
siderable quantity of spring wheat.

OUR JUMPING PROGRESS.

The Cincinnati Gazette, Grant organ,
has this to say Of the manner in which We
are making history under the rule Of the
party to which it owes fealty:
"Tbe air is full of projects for changes Of
the constitution and for shuffiing, changing,
and expanding governmental things gener-
ally. The New York World contributes
its mite in this fashion:
"'1. Abolishing the machinery Of pr, 81
Dental electors, and letting the people vote
directly for President and Vice President.
so. Limiting the President to q single
term of (say) six years.
"'3. Giving all the appointed Federal
officers term equal to that of the Presi-
dent, but commencing and ending at the
middle of the presidential terms.
"'4. Requiring all the State elections to
be held on the same day when the people
vote for President
"Mr. Banks want&Six year terms and
$4,000 salary for the President. Mr. Cress-
well, having perfected the management OF
the mail business, is looking round for
more worlds to conquer, and wants 10 as
sumo the telegraphing. The Cincinnati
Times and Chronicle proposes that the
kOVGTuUlSHJ S0all aIStaSSuu15 IDo DuSiuSSS
of the Associated Press, and gather the
news for the telegraph and newspapers. A
New York ring wants . charter for 100
million exchequer bank with most wonder
fol powers. Secretary Robson wants ten
naval ships built right away, looking
to Cuban intervention, which of course
means annexation. San Domingo is
being instructed TO apply for admission as
State, being competent to govern herself and
to help govern US, and being fine field for
carpet bsggers and the strong practice Of
Judge Durrell. The G. Commercial pro-
poses soon to deal with the small States
and reduce them to prop0rtionate represen-
tation in the Senate. These are but few
of the promising schemes. To some cid
fogies this may be slarrning, but to us the
concise rule Of constitutional powers and
limitations lately laid down by the C. Com
nlerciGl seems to cover andsecure all things:
"The nation must not attempt more than
it can do we'll" And the best government
the sun shines on can do ell thiOgs better
than anybody else"
If the brakes are not speedily put down
there is no telling where We shall land.
