The Grain They VIII Want.

French statistics put down the follow
ing as fair estimate of the amount of
grain the countries named will be COM
PEELED to purchase this year: France,
1900, 900 bushels; England, 10000
600 bushels; Italy, l8,60O,0OO bushels I;
Spain, "a, ,OOO, 900 bushels; Holland and
Belgium, I2,OOO,OOO bushels; Switzer-
land, 5000, 900 bushels; total, 294, ,OOO,-
900 bushels. On canVassing the wheat
exporting countries of the world, the
same authorities estimate che quantity
available to purchase as follows United
States. l57, 100000 bushels; Hungary,
:, 100000 bushels; India, $4,000, 900
bushels; Australia, 2l.OOO,OOO bushels

Gold Coinage.

A Washington dispatch says: The
average coinage of the last fifteen years
of eagles has been less than 5000, 900 an
nually, and of half eagles about $500
annually, and of quarter eagles less than
SlOO, 600 annually. For the five years
prior to the suspension of specie pay
ments in 1861, the average annual COIN
age of eagles was less than $400, 900, of
half eagles about $500, 600 and ofquarter
eagles about 100000.
During the last fiscal year the coinage
of the United State was: Double eagles,
1897 ,234, $40 eagles, 8 ,O3l, ,440 halfeagles
81 ,442. 1870; quarter eagles, 81, l66, 800,
showing that the average annual coinage
of eagles has been increased over 500 per
cent. the coinage of half eagles has been
increased nearly 900 per cent, and OF
quarter eagles more than 1000 per cent,
so that the demand for gold coin of small
denominations has been more than anti
cipated.
OF the gold coin now in the treasury
vaults, there is of these smaller denomi-
nations an amount exceeding the coin
age of the last year, which is stated
above. The actual figures are as follows: !:

heaven, based on the statement in
Revelation that the angels measured
the city with the reed 1900 furlongs.
The length, the breadth and the height
of it are equal" Taking eight fur
longs to equal mile, he comes to the
following conclusions: "The heavenly
city will be 1900 miles in each dimen-
sions, which will accommodate all the
people of the world with separate
apartments. There will be precisely
80 quintillion, 54l quadrillion, lG6 trii-

APTER ALL tue "Gazette" has come out
strongly i'll favor Of duels. After con
siderable hair splitting to show that
fighting duels was not the most pleas
ant and agreeable way Of settling diff
culties, it seems as if nothing would
have given it more pleasure that for
Mr.. Logan to have accepted loves cha'
lenge and have gone cut and got per
foratel with loves pepper box. 1t
does seem to Us though that the "Ga.

questioning the bravery of Mr.. Logan, %
he had already shown that he was
any hing else than coward In a hun

to have backed ou. from the perform
ance of any duty however hazardous.
lie did not however see proper to bother
himself with such low fellow as Lowe
and in this he showed his good sense.
Our enlarged neighbor however says it
would Object decidedly to any one of
the Delaware Sen tors becoming a par
ty to a duel, but it had no objection to
men like Logan fighting duel if only
he would le the man who got shot.
This is opposing duelling With ven

THE "Gaz 4tte'' Is very murn opposed
to duelling if such men as Senators
Bayard and Salisbury, had to 90 out to
be shot a, hut in favor of it if there
was any expectation that Senator Logan
might be shot at and killed. This very
impartial feeling on the palt Of the

self in the election of its own officers.
President Hayes very clearly puts the
disputed point when he says, "The
States may employ both military and
civil power to keep the peace and en-
force the laws at State elections" 1t
is only the federal government that the
Democrats propose to divest of even the
civil authority that is necessary to in
sure order and peace at national elec
tions. The Democrats propose that the
States shall have the whole control Of
elections which effect the national
government. They, in fact, propose to
make the national government a mere
machine to be run in the interests OF
their own selfish purposes. The States
can surround every election poll with a
civil and military force, to control cleo
tions, but the national governments
hands are to be tied, and it is to be
contented with whoever is sent to
Congress, no matter how elected, if he
only has in his possession the requisite
certificates properly attested. If this
is to be the Interpretation of the law,
the states will have all the power and
the government none whatever
Take away this power of supervision
by the national government and the
elections for President and Congress-
men become mere mOckery; the gov.
ernment would only have to accept and
register the vii! Of the States i'll an
election in which it is deeply interested
but deprived of taking any part. |.
this principle is carried out, Congress
sional elections hy the people might as
well be abolished and the Legislatures
of the States be empowered to elect
the Cougrt sHnen as they now do Sen
atols, and as they could elect presiden-
tial electors if they saw proper to
exercise that power. Had the army
bill with its political rider been allowed
to bt come law, the only guarantees
afforded fer the main tenance of order,
the enforcement of equality as between
different cl: sses Of citizens, and fer the
prevention Of fraud would have been
destroyed. That this is the point
aimed at by the tx rebels and their
dough- faced allies no man can doubt.
The whole demonstration was a bold
stroke for States rights, and the Old
notification doctrine that has already
plunged this government into one long
and bloody war, and though We do not
want to be an alarlniat, but if this
principle is carried out it will most as
suredly do so again, ami to the lovers
Of freedom and equality before tho
law We would say to be torewarned is
to be torearmed.
