The Forthcoming Wheat Crop.

An estimate has been made of the
wheat crop for this harvest in twenty one
States, viz, the six New England States,
New York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee,
Kentucky, Arkansas, Texas, Ohio, In
diana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa and Minnesota.
The total is the enormous sum of 3O1, 600, =
600 bushels. This is 5000, 900 tons; to
move it would require 9O3, 600 cars, each
carrying ten tons; to drag these cars, in
trains of twenty each, would require
As, $50 locomotives; if these trains were
spread along the railways at distance
of quarter of mile from each other
they would cover IL, 2S7 miles of track;
they would form four lines extending
clear across the continent from New
York to San Francisco. At 81 a bushel
this wheat crop would represent S3O1,-
000, 900, and it would require very nearly
all the legal-tender notes in the country
to buy it. Here is the estimate of the
crop in the twenty-one States named:

Mississippi, Louisiana, Missouri, Coli
orado, Utah, Nevada, Oregon and Idaho.
Each OF these States and Territories pro-
duces some wheat. The forthcoming
crop in these sixteen States and Terri
tories may be safely set down at 150.-
600, 900 bushels; so that the whole wheat
crop of the country for the harvest of
1873 will not be less than $50, 900, 900
bushels, or ID, 500, 600 tons. The figures
are stupendous and unexampled. The
railways, taxed to their utmost capacity,
cannot move this immense crop. We
shall certainly have cheap bread for the
next two years.
So, also, we shall have cheap meat
not 80 cheap as it might be were it not
for the cattle ring, but still cheap; cheap
coal and cheap clothing. All this means
additional comfort, and it is also one Of
the conditions of permanent prosperity

A Venezuela Episode.

A letter from Caracas, Venezuela,
South America, says Jose Miguel Bar
cellon, President of the House of Rep
resentatives of Venezuela, was shot dead
by Eduardo Scanlon, editor of the Trib-
anal liberal. A dispute arose between
the two men in consequence of politi-
cal difference. Shortly after the dispute
Barcellon met Scanlon in the street and
fred at him several times without effect.
Having emptied his own revolver, he
borrowed that of his friend, Gen. Juan
De Marta Gusman, and fired again.
Scanlon then fired two shots, both of
which took effect, and Barcellon died
that evening.

influence OF Climate on Race.

Attention has been called to curious
instance of climatic influence ON race.
In 1916, several hundred Wurtemberg
families emigrated to Trans Caucasia,
and took up their abode in the neigh
borhood of Tifis. They were remarka-
BILE for a broad, square build, fair or
red hair and blue eyes. The next gen.
Grafton changed somewhat, and brown
hair and black eyes were seen. In the
third generation the type of the original
colonists was hardly recognizable. Black
eyes and hair were the rule, the round
face heightened, the form gained slen-
derness and elegance. lnasmuch as
they never intermarried with another
race, it is contended that climate alone
must have effected the change.

Passenger Agent of the Michigan Central
Railroad at Omaha. They are both gen

visit in our State is in the interest Of the
roads they represent. These roads constr
tute one of the main lines from the West to
the East, and, as nearly every business man
in Kansas has been patron OF this line, ii
is needless to say that no finer road-bed or
more elegant passenger cars are to be found
in the world. Every old Kansan remem-
bers the iberality and kindness of these
corporations during the stormy days OF our
earlier history and consequently this has
always been a favorite line.

The aBusiness situation.


The business situation remains in pretty
much the same condition as noted last weel,
with no new features TO report. The
spring trade is about over, and has not been
as satisfactory a. Was expected, though
some branches of trade have Averaged 4
fair amount OF business, One thing can be
said in its favor, it has been conducted on
nearer a cash basis than any
previous season. Some departments OF the
export trade continue TO he held in check
by the uncertainty OF the position OF affairs
on the other side, though the movement
thus rar this year may be considered very
gratifying in view of the general dulness
An encouraging sign of the business situa-
ton is the increasing traffic reported by the
various trunk lines, which continue to show
large gains over the corresponding period
of las, year. This is certainly To be looked
upon as an indication of improvement, and
when in connection with this the cheering
accounts OF the crop prospects are taken IN
TO consideration, the outlook cannot be CON
sidered doubtful or discouraging. Ii il
perhaps unnecessary To say that what is
grown out of the earth is SD much added to
the wealth of the country. II there is war
between England and Russia, there will
probably be a demand for all the bread

PREVAILING OPINION
Proposed Rn,Irond To Mexico.
y. Y. American Exchanged

4 strong appeal is being made to Con-
grcs- in behalf OF railroad from Calves
ton, Texas, to Camarso, Mexico, the dis
lance living 352 miles. The committee 10
which the bill was referred, have amended
it so as to require the Company to issue It's
first mortgage bonds TO the Secretary of the
Treasury at the rate of s., 800 per mile.
These bonds are to bear an annual interest
of six per cent. for twenty five-years, and
are 10 be exchanged for the four per cent.
bonds of the United States. The two per
cent difference in interest is to be used for
the purpose of creating sinking fund in
the hands OF the United States
Treasurer, for the purpose of retiring
the principal Of the company's bonds.
The chief argument urged for the con-
struction of this road is the development of
trade that, it is alleged, would
be caused thereby, consequently les
SEEMING the probabilities Of war
with Mexico. II is stated that the most de-
sIrable portion OF Mexico for trade is that
region south and west of Camargo. 1t is
the most easy Of access, the most thickly
populated, aud will require the largest
quantity OF american goods and wares.
Monterey, lew miles southwest OF Ca
MARCO, is the initial point for trade and
Commerce with Mexico. The export OF all
the products of the industry and skill Of
the United States to that section OF the
country has reached only an average Of
fiity-two cents per capita Of It's population.
The proposed railroad, its advocates claim,
will greatly increase this ratio, and create a
large trade for our industries.
