THERE seems 10 oe no 1905 rea-
son for the present high price of
wheat. 1t is stated in the columns
OF the St. Louis Republican, by high
authority, that shortage in the wheat
crop in the United States, this year.
as compared with the crop of
1881, is 183, ,309, 800 bushels. 1t Is
also stated that there were carried
forward from the crop of 1880 into
the crop of 1881, 75,669,949 bushels,
and that there is an available bal
ance for export, after deducting the
estimated consumption for the pres
ent year, of IA, 4,794,406 bushels. The
question arises what will become of
this surplus? From the present
outlook, foreign counties will not
need much, if any, Of our wheat, aud
if there be no export demand, how
can the present price be sustained ?
The writer, who makes these state
ments, goes on to say:
The one hundred and forty-four
million bushels surplus is nearly
enough to supply the United States
with wheat in 1882. Should we
have no export demand (Which we
have not now, what will be the re-
suit? Stock will accumulate in
store uutil there will be no place to
put it; wheat will become drug
Oh the market, and will eventually
rule as low, or lower, than last year,
when the situation is once fully re-
allied. Instead of having seventy
five million bushels to carry over.
as we did last year, we will have
one hundred and forty odd. We
think this is certainly viewing the
situation from clear standpoint.
We admit that the present crop
is short of the crop of 1880, but we
know that foreign crops are much
better, and we see from the figures
we have used we have surplus be-
yoDd enough to supply the consump-
tion of the United States for the
next year to come by one hundred
forty-four million and some hundred
thousand bushels. Taking all these
things into consideration, what de-
ductions can be made other than we
have made-that is, wheat must be
lower

THE VETERAN CERTIFICATES.

Colonel Swisher's plan for getting
the most possible for the veterans
out of their land certificates meets
with general favor, and the press
especially seems anxious to give en-
couragement to the movement. 1t
is endorsed by that noble old sol
dier, Colonel Frank johnson, and
by such men as ex- Governor Pease,
Hon. John Hancock, and all old
Texans. Unfortunately for these
old soldiers, who made Texas, this
bounty has been postponed until
there is but. little public land left
OF any value, except in the reserva-
tlons, and in consequence there
should be unity of action among the
holders of these certificates. Colonel
Swenson. of New York, who is an
old Texan, says that he will
advance $3.50 on 1880 acre
certificates, giving the holder the
right of sale at this price, or half
interest in locations, he supplying
all the money, and looking, it may
be understood, after such legislation
as may favor the veteran class OF
paper. Where The lands are TO be
located is not yet fixed, but it is be.
iieved the state will do all in its
power 10 make the veteran locations
as good as may be gotten at this late
day. The STATESMAN thought
Greer comfy would be a good point
for location, and we have seen but
one objection to this proposition.
The Neaos regards the plan
to locate there as "myste-
rious." Colonel Swisher says
no point has been fixed upon, and
will not be until Mr.. Swenson con-
fers with the veterans. Then plan
win be fixed upon, and, whatever it
may be, the STATESMAN hopes it
may succeed. We are willing to see
these veterans, and those who help
them, get something cut of their
claims, and would not throw suspi-
cion upon the proposed plan. We
would be willing to see them own
the whole of Greer county, were it
possible, for men who gave us
Texas deserve something besides
suspicion. The STATEsMAN's advice
to these old men is to go right along
with Mr.. Swenson's aid, in securing
what they may. The STATESMAN
and almost every other paper in the
state will lend all the aid possible to
their scheme. and in the end shouId
Greer county be desired, we are
satisfied the Texas legislatureand the
congress ofthe United States would
both agree to end a dispute by
letting the old men have slice off
that little patch of land. The mys-.
terry would be in their not being
given such right.

THE manner i'm which Mexico has

THE manner in which Mexico has
granted subventions to railroad
companies is wonderful, and the
republic, because of this liberal;ty,
is soon to be checked with rail-
ways. Four trunk lines, having
their southern termini at tho City
of Mexico, will cross the American
frontier at different points, while
their numerous branches will con-
meet the principal cities of the re-
public with the various seaports on
either coast. Between seventy and
eighty lines have been surveyed and
traced out, and at least twenty-five
are under construction. The gov
ernment will this year be called
upon to pay about $5,000,000 in sub
sides, and has already issued new
tax DEGREES to cover this sum.
Among these new taxes may be
mentioned one that has created a
great deal of dissatisfaction. 1t is
the tax ON sales of goods. Each
merchant is compelled to keep an
account of his daily sales, and this
book is open to inspection by gov
ernment officers, who, at the end of
the month, demand ! per cent on all
gross sales. Thus the merchant is
expected to pay 6 per cent. on his
business sales annually. A few
years ago such q tax would have
caused a rebellion, but now the'mer-
chants merely grumble, while the
railroads begin to achieve the mas
terry.

lively corpse. How dead he is a
correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press tells. He saws:
1t is a strange state of things,
perhaps, but tits the truth neverthe-
less, that the better elements of the
Republican party in this section OF
the state are friends of ex-senator
Conkling. Syracuse and Onondaga
county have not been among Mr..
Conkiing's strongholds. In 1872
most of the present Republican
leaders were liberals, and there
has always been q certain de-
gree of ofishness among the
local politicians. Mr.. Conkling
can not bear that kind of disloyalty,
therefore the disloyal can not bear
him. 1t must be confessed that it is
very natural for decent people here
to stand by Mr.. Conkling. The
local opposition to him is peculiarly
disreputable, and a clean man can
not be blamed if he prefers some as
sociation in opposition to Alvin,
who is inst now spending his time
on the streets, boasting that Collec-
tor Robertson has given him con-
troll of the custom-house patronage
for his part of the state. The
prominence of this kind of half
breed has made the best Republi-
cans of Syracuse pretty generally
stalwart. Iimagine that there are
not many scratchers here. It is
true that he has said that he thinks
that his retirement from public
life is for the best, and that
he can now do what he ought
to have done ten years ago, devote
himself to his profession and make

THE fiercest of campaigns has
opened in Mississippi. General
Lowry, the Democratic nominee for
governor, eloquently portrays the
benefits which have accrued to the
state under Democratic admlnistra-
ton, and Indignantly denies that
his party has ever resorted to bull
doing or tissue ballots to
destroy the right of suf-
frage. Colonel King, the candidate
of all other parties, takes pride in
the fact that he seldom wears clean
shirt, and his oratory is of slouchy
order. The two met in joint dis
cussion, and good judges say Gen.

THE death of President Garfield

THE death of President Garfield
would make Gen. Arthur president.
This would leave the senate without
head, and the first duty of the body,
when it meets in December, would
be to effect an organization. The
recovery of Mr.. Garfield would
leave the body organized, and hence
it would be in shape, when it
meets, to at once enter upon its du-
ties. In the event there is no pre-
siding officer, and since no president
pro TEN. was elected, the first duty
of the body would be to supply the
vacancy, and this would have to be
done with the senate in its present
shape, without the newly elected
and appointed senators taking part
in the election. This point can not
be mooted one, and the senate can
not proceed in any other way. 1t
must first have ahead. Weak back
bones, or the death or absence of
Democratic senator's, can be the only
hindrance to a Democrat becoming
vice-president; and such result
arises alone from the follies and
crimes of Republicans.
