There has been many amendments suggested
to our present school Lag by the press Of the
state, and there is SO much room for i'm.
provement that some of them will doubtless be
acted upon by the nex; legislature. We have
recently read communication on this cub
ject written by Professor j. Q. Rogan, Of
Montague to one Of the GAINESVILLE papers,
which we think embraces some important
suggestions, The writer is evidently an old
teacher, and we'll versea in the science of
education. He deploros as unjust the laws
requiring 50 many examinations of teachers.
II amounts to a considerable tax on men who
make but little, and is discrimns-
ton against the profession of teachers as
compared with lawyers and doctors. In those
professions, when man gets his hcence to
practice, such licence is good for all time
at least until by mal-practice' or gross mis-
behavior he may be debarrel from further
practice. The learned professor most peril
nently asks "why not have law authorizing
the county judge to appoint committees Of
examination for applicants, and report as is
done in licensing attorneys?" We think the
idea suggested is u good one. Under such a
law an applicant need only be subjected to
one examination, which having passed favor
ably, would entitls him to certificate author
izing him to teach anywhere withiA the limits
of the district.

Crop. Exported. Remaining

The large increase in consumption Is readily
explained; increasing prosperity always
prompts more free use of wheat for food
the population of the country has been in
creasing about 6,S00,000 in the last five
wears; and the acreage sown, and conse-
oueptly the amount needed for seed, have
largely increased Apparently. the reserve i'll
the country Is smaller now than it has been
near the close of any other year of tile five,
hut the consumption during the past year
must have been over 27O,OOO.OOO bushels.
An increase of 100000 in population
during the year would render probable an in
crease of 100000 bushels in cOnsump-
ton. and the cultivation of new lands in the
Northwest is likely to cause further increase
of acreage, unless tho price obtained during
the Fall and Winter should be decidedly dis
appointing to producers. But IN that case the
low price would prompt larger consumption
for food. and this may be expected also be-
cause OF the great prosperity of the country.
Ii may be inferred, therefore, that from
29O, 900 900 to 3OO.OO0,000 bushels will be
required for seed and home consumption,
leaving from 17O,O00,000 to 100000
bushels for export.
Certainly the prospect now Is not strong
that the foreign demand will be sufficient to
clear away so large surplus. Late news
from England gives promise of crop of
wheat nearly or quite as large as the average
Belgium Holland and Denmark are expected
to have a fair crop; in Austria Hungary the
injury from the weather seems to be less than
was reported recently; and the crops In
France, if favorable wea her continues, are
now expected to be sufficient to reduce the
quantity to be supplied by Importation to
&C. 900, 900 bushels. If these anticipations
are sustained, the demand for wheat from
this country can hardly be expected to bs as
great as during the past year. even if the
iuiury to crops in Russia should prove as
serious as many suppose. On the other hand.
it is evident that the crops in Europe may
proye good enough to reduce by 10000 900
to 100, OOO 900 bushels the quantity required
from this country.
There are some other considerations, how
ever, which should not be overlooked in esti-
mating the probable foreign demand for
American wheat The stocks held abroad
have been remarkably reduced. TO bring mp
the stock to the quantity ordinarily carried
over from year TO year as reserve, Europe
will require many million bushels in addition
to the quantity needed for consumption. But
the experience of the past year has probably
prepared dealers and mllers abroad TO take
greater precautions hereafter against possible
failure of crops 80 that, If the yield should
! be- largo and the price low in TINS country,
during the coming season, there may be a dis
position to increase quite largely the stock
held in reserve abroad Again. the recurrence
of another enormous yield in this country

TERRITORY WITHOUT GOVERNMENT

a
The purchase Of Alaska was the only terri.
torial acquisition made by the United States
which has not proved thoroughly satlsiae-
tory investment. Louisiana gave us the
mouths of the Mississippi; Florida completed
the southern coast line at an important
point; Texas made part Of what an English
statesman has taught us to call scientific
frontier; and California, for which, with the
vast area ceded at the same time, we paid only
twice as much as for Alaska, brought vast
mineral wealth, to say nothing OF Its Other
great resources. But in the acquisition Of
Alaska little was gained beyond the expan.
sion of our territory by more than one-sixtl
it's present size, and the development Of the
doctrine. perhaps more romantic than prac-
tical that the whole bOundess continent
must and shall be ours. But the territory
having become our property, it Is the duty
of the American people to fuihl all treaty
obligations with respect to Its inhabitants,
and otherwise to see that they enjoy that
protection to which their relation 10 the Gov
eminent entities them.
The interesting paper by Mr. Walker Blaine,
which appears on another page, IL designed to
suggest remedies for the present unsatisfactory
state of afflirs in Alaska. In doing so it pre-.
sents much curious information respecting q
country of which the average well-read amer.
lean knows far less than he does OF the newly.
explored portions Of Africa. The facts Mr.
Blaine gives are, many of them, strange, and
he has occasion to show that Ignorance OF
them is much too prevalent in this country
He does not attempt to elevate that region in
the general estimation, but urges that the
Government, which receives "a considerable
revenue from the seal fisheries, might at least
in return provide the inhabitants with some
protection against Indian savagery, ana with
machinery for the administration OF law. Mr..
Blaine's suggestions as to methods by which
this eould 0e done at small expense seem
thoroughly practical, and deserve attention.

Jvpg0TED BUSINESS PROSPECTS.

The prospect of prosperous business TINS
year has materially improved during the past
week. The great army OF haryesters now
steadily marching nOrthward, has saved many
million bushels of wheat during the past week,
while the weather has been peculiarly favor
able for the maturity of that part of the crop
which is not yet ready for the harvester. Reap
ing will begin this week in Central Mn
nesOta, and it is now believed by well-lnformed
persons that the yield in that State will reach
80, 900, 900 bushels, if no extended injury
should be sustained within the next SIX days.
One week ago, with over GO,0OO,OOO bushels
of the crop still in doubt, it was thought
improbable that the aggregate yield would be
reduced below 100000, 900 bushels The
probability now seems to be against yield OF
less than 40, 900, 600 bushels, and competent
statisticians maintain that, unless the weather
during the next week causes serious injury,
the Weld will exceed 100000 600 bushels.
The adyices from California and Oregon are
even more favorable than before, and it is
thought that Oregon will have from 100000
TO 15O. 600 tons more for export than in 1879.
The official statement of exports OF wheat
and flour from sixteen principal ports has by
many been errOncOuSly udkeH dS Ill OlhSlai
statement of the exports from the whole
country for the last fiscal year. The amount
so reported was las, 139, 1913 bushels, besides
57S7. 967 barrels of -four, equivalent in all to
1875, IA bushels. But in 187S-79 about
$500, 600 bushels and 100000 barrels were
exported from other ports than those included
in the advance statement; if the amount has
been as large during the last fiscal year. the
aggregate exports from the whole country
will amount to 179, 745, l. Al bushels. Accord
ing to the Agricultural Bureau, the crop OF
last year was AS, 755, 118 bushels, so that
there would remain for use as seed and for
home consumption 269, OO9,974 bushels. In
mere comparison of exports, the barrel OF
-four is often computed as equivalent to five
bushels of wheat, but in estimates of con-
sumption this is not sufficiently accurate.
Reducing -four to wheat at 4l2 bushels
to the barrel, and accepting the estimates of
the Agricultural Bureau as to the yield, the
amount remaining for consumption and seed
during the past five years appears as follows

Authentic information as to the condition of
the Ponca Indians is now at hand. The Re
lief Committee, of which Bishop ClarksOn, of
Nebraska, is chairman, and the pastors of the
Presbyterian and Congregational churches,
and some of the most influential men of the
State are members, have issued circular IN
which they state that there are about 115
Poncas back on their old reservation, strug-
Cling to support themselves. About 400 are
still in the Indian Territory, kept there against
their will. More than 200 have died since
their removal there of maarlous fever. SO
far from being cOntented, happy, and anx-
lions to remain as stated by their agent,
Whiting, they are utterly brOken-spirlted and
hopeless, many of them declaring that so
long as they are robbed of their own farms
and homes they will not work elsewhere for
which resolve we can hardly blame them.
The 115 who are back on their own territory
have put more land under cultivation this
Summer than the 400 in the Indian Terri
tory. Agent Writings anxiety TO prove that
they are contented, and his zeal In arresting
the messengers of the committee, can proba-
bly, be explained by the fact that considerable
amount of Government money has been ex-
pended on the RESERVATION III "hich the onOdS
now are 1t has gone to build large and
handsome residence for Agent Whiting, eight
or fen substantial dwellings, for other white
employees, and mis- rabe log huts for the
Poncas. About three times as much OF the
money has been spent to build the houses fol
the dozen white men rs for the 400 Indians
One of the chiefs who disobcyed some command
of Agent Writings, WAS ordered by HIM to be
taken to Fort Reno for imprisonment for life
and when the chief protested was shot through
the head in Writings Office by his order. The
white employees are constantly armed and form
a military guard, and the Poncas, s1ce this
murder. beng unarmed, are completely cowet
| and dsheartened.
Such is the real condition OF affairs at Whit
ing's agency. Great public sympathy. as w
