POPLAR BLUFF, Mo, May 10, 1889.
Ed. ReJister-This city, like all ether
flouriShing towns, has its schools, churches,
lodges, and its literary society, of which the
latter was in session last Wednesday night;
and, to the surprise of everybody, a Northern
Light appeared. Ii was one that You have
often seen and heard with pleasure, but
do not think it had ever shone brighter than
it did on Wednesday night. 1t was no other
than Judge j. w. Emerson, of IrontOn, Mo.
lie gave us one OF the deepest and most
scientific lectures that | have ever heard: in
fact, could no more comprehend its depth
and height than | could space or eternity
Some of our brightest Young men said it was
good, bat they could not understand it.
The subject was "Mind and Natter" which
was never better Illustrated. It was called
u fine lecture, and it could be termed a the
illogical sermon: for it treated on everything
good or evil and everything pertaining to mind
and matter.
Judge Emerson-wall, | will not put the
Judge to his name. It's only honorary, and
the plain name of John W. Emerson is honor
enough Of itself. And do hope that in an
early future, the people of Southeast Mis-
souri, Will put him in position where his
talent can he appreciated and his country
men benefited. And / know of no better
place to send him than to Congress. He has
been with us twentrfOur wears. and his
moral, mental and political qualities cannot
lie doubted.

in which Judge Emerson speaks of the collr-
tcsy shown him OH the occasion OF his lee

city, last week. lie says the place contains

Judge j. w. EmcrsOn's lecture in Fcrgu-

course, and an intellectual feast to those
present. The subject of his lecture was
Forces" in the rendition of which he went
far into the sciences, making many things
plain to his hearers that We're mysterious to
them before. Judge Emerson, aside from
being deep thinker and Il classic and
scientific scholar, Is a nice, smooth and
pleasant talker, and capable of imparting to
others with the utmost simplicity bis kn0wl-
edge of things: and the raDt attention paid
to his address by the audience was sufficient
proof that every word he uttered was apprr-
clatcd. The world moves on, and people
grow wiser day by day; but if the people of
Poplar Bluff could have the privilege OF
listening to such lectures as was delivered
at the hall last evening oftcneT, the progress
of knowledge would be much more rapid i'll

THE MINE CANVASS.

All reports from Maine point TO a Republican
victory there on Monday The only danger
is the inevitable light vote of an oil year
There are undoubtedly enough Republicans
in the State to elect their party's ticket by a
handsome majority, if they will all go to the
polls and vote. The issue is certainly sufii-
GENTLY grave to make them do this. We are
unable to understand how any Republican in
the State can fail to perform his duty after the
developments of the campaign. Powerful
as Mr. Bane's speeches have been, those
of Governor Plaisted and the curious
people he has called into the State to speak
for him must have done more to arouse Re
publcans than all Republican efforts combined.
Tie Governor stands before the people and
declares himself superior both to the Constl-
tuition and the Courts. That ought to be
enough to defeat him. He stands also as the
representative of n cong lomrrate party which Is
totally devoid of principles, and which Is openly
seeking success at any price. Surely the people
of Maine have the intelligence and pubic
spirit to do their duty in situation like this.
While the Republicans have conducted their
campaign with great energy and wisdom, the
Fusionists have managed theirs in desultory
ana foolish manner. They imported General
:. +. Cary to pour out his communistic and fall
lacious financial theories in support of their
ticket, and did not discover until he had been
speaking for several weeks that he was doing
them more harm than good. They sent him
away then, but the influence of his speeches
could not be excluded with his presence. Gov
ernor Plaisted's speeches can scarcely have had
any better effect. They have simply shown
that all that the Republicans say against him Is
true. lie is an incompetent and unscrupulOus
Executive, and out of his own mouth Is he
condemned. The Republicans, on the other
hand, have demonstrated by their canvass that
they are seeking to place over the State gov
eminent of law and order They have confined
the campaign to the simple issue, Shall the
Constitution aud the laws be supreme or shall
the Governor be allowed to override both
On this issue the Republicans have taken their
position in favor OF the supremacy OF the laws
and the Constitution. Governor Plalstcd has
taken the opposite stand. We do not believe
the people of the State are going to sustain the
Governor.

The military convention between Turkey and
Great Britain has been splintered and whitfield
down until there Is very little OF it left Originally
the Porte proposed that its army should pacify
Egypt without aid the British garrison remaining
In Alexandria but not taking part in the campaign.
Lord Duierin raised one objection after another,
requiring that Alexandria should not be used as
Turkish base Of operations, that the Porte should
garrison certain points the coast and do nothing
else. and that the British commander should be
represented at the Turkish headquarters by stan
officers and be entitled to control the movements
of the force. These and many other Illuminating
conditions were discussed, and finally the Porte
offered to send troops TO points on the coast be-
tween Alexandria and Port Said and TO place
them entirely at the disposal of the British com
mander Even this proposal was rejected probably
because General WolselcY was unwilling to give
Arab the chance Of marching nOrthward, surren-
dering his army to tho Turks and escaping to
Tripoi with his officers. Now it is announced that
n final arrangement has been made. LORD Du1erin
has informed the Sultan that he can send from
1000 to 5000 men TO Port Said This point is
selected for two obvious first. tho Tn <lsh
troops will be covered by the guns Of the British
fleet; secondly, the Egyptian army cannot be
Transported by rail nor led across Lake Menzaleh
to Port Said. if Arab is anxious 70 abandon the
contest, but prefers to surrender to the Turks.
Newport should cultivate more the tawnv, leo
nine sunfower if it would have unmixed joy in
the approval of Mr.. Oscar Wilde For now there
comes a cruel anti-climax TO the widely published
announcement that he adOres" that place. =" re-
greet to discover" he says, that Newport is under
the tyranny Of the Red Geranium." Alas! poor
Newport!

WaE1T SUPPLY AND DRNAND.

Much of the future depends upon the demand
for wheat. That the yield is to be large Is not
now disputed, though there Is wide difference
between the statistician of the Produce Ex-
change, who estimates the crop at OO,OOO,OOO
bushels, and some journalists, here and ut
the West, who argue that it will be nearly or
quite 600 600 600 bushels. Either yield will
be large enough to make it n serious question,
What shall we.do with it Though not many
things are as good as old wheat there is a
sheer waste of resources in locking up capital
unnecessarily, and carrying over more than
reasonable reserve OF grain. The home de-
mand can be quite closely computed. BY this
time some idea of the probable foreign de-
mand can be formed
The official statement of exports and I'M
ports for the fiscal year has now been made.
OF wheat, the exports of domestic production
were 95,271, S02 bushels, against 15O, 30, Az
in the previous year, 153,252,705 IN 80,
and 122,353,9 1886 in 1878 70. Excepting in
these three years, the quantity was never as
large rs in the fiscal year 1SSl-s2. NOtwlth-
standing the high price in speculative markets
during most of the year, the average export
price was only 81 Isle per bushel, against
IL 11l3 in 1881 and 81 Ole in 1880. The
shipments OF flour declined quite as much az
OF wheat, and were 5.915,GSG barrels, against
7,9lj,7sG in 1851 and 6,Ol1,419 in 1850.
Excepting in these two years, the quantity
shipped last year had never been exceeded.
Reducing flour to wheat at four and One-half
bushels, we have the following aggregate
quantities and values for the past ten years,
with the average eXpOrt-prce Of Uheat alone
for each fiscal year:
