Outlook as 70 Price Of wheat.

The wheat crop of the whole country
is much the largest in its history, and ft
is beginning to be suspected that the
same Is true OF the corn crop. All the
newspapers IN the east with a taste for
crop statistics. are revising their esti-
mates, and it Is significant that the bulls
and bears are approaching each other.
The journals that exaggerated the crop
earlier in the season are now cutting
down their figures, and those that took q
conservative view are raising them. The
Commercial BuLletin has come down from
over SOC, 600. 900 bushels to 500. 600, 600;
the Public has risen from 400, 900. 600 to
$50, ,000, 600, and the agricultural bureau,
whose estimates have been low, has risen
from 500, 900, 600. It is not unlikely the
aggregate product may be pearer $780,
100000 than 800, 900, 900. Either total
raises an interesting question concerning
the disposition of the surplus. The st.
Paul (Minn.) Pioneer Press thinks there
is absolutely no reason in the condition
of agriculture, business or politics in Efl-
rope to anticipate large export demand
for American wheat At the most, the
amount needed for home consumption
will be 300, 100000. This will leave 200,-
600, 600 to 250,000,000 for export. The
high water mark of export has, never
reached 200, 600, 900 bushels, even after a
succession of poor harvests in Europe,
and with low prices ruling here, it is not
safe to count upon the export of more
than 100, 100000 to 150. ZOO, 900, which
leaves surplus of 100000, 600. It is NOT
easy to see any promise and potency OF
high prices in this condition Of things.
OF course the demand for food products
is elastic. and thereis no such things af
an over-supply, but other things remain.
ing equal, the demand can only be in
creased by decrease of price. German
peasants will eat white bread made out
of American flour instead of the inferior
habitual article, only in the event that
they can get it at about the same price
The export demand for American wheat
can be largely increased only, by lower
ing the price. and if the large surplus re
mains at home it will lower the pric,
here. Either way the prospects is th'

ATLANTA. GA, Oct. 4-Constitntion
specials Indicate that Stephens has car.
ried nearly every county, ard his majori-
jority in the state. The regularly NOM
mated Democratic ticket for state House
officers will be elected.
AUGUSTA. GA. October 4.-The vote
throughout the State was not as large as
expected. The falling off in the vote of
both parties is considerable. There was
general apathy among the colored peo-
pie, who were expected to vote solidly
for Gaitrell. The majority for Stephens
will not be far from forty thousand.
The Chronicles reports indicate that
every county in the district has gone
Democratic. Stephens majority will be
about 9, 900 in this District. His MAORI.
ty in the State is estimated at 10000.
Burke county, in the First District, gives
Gaitrell from 600 to 700 majority.
COLUMBUS. GA, October 4-1he elec.
ton to day for Governor and State House
officers passed off quietly throughout

is the largest majority ever given by the
party. In Muscogee County the Demo
cratic ticket received over ninety pei
cent. of the votes cast. State Senator an(
members of the Lower House wer,

First Temperance Law.

The following extract from Hon. Chas.
B. Floods correspondence to the Cincin-
natl Enquirer, under the head OF "Old
Times Politics. shows how Ohio's first
temperance legislation under the present
Constitution was adopted:
"The passage OF the first temperance
law afforded an illustration of the want
of good faith which not unfrequently
shows itself in Legislative doings. 1t re-
quires majority of the votes OF the
members elected to each branch OF the
Legislature to pass a bill. and in all cases
the yeas and nays are required. The
Temperance laws was being passed the
yeas and nays were being, called when
the Clerk discovered member, pencil in
hand, keeping count of the vote. The
member had evidently been drinking. and,
although the call was made slowly and
distinctively to give the member chance
to keep correct account, vet he missed
it by one vote. When his name was
called he did not vote; when called q
second time, after all the other members
had voted he did vote. and his vote
passed the bill. He thought it required,
as it did by his count, two votes to pass
it; but, too far gone in his cuds to count
correctly, it required but one, and when
he voted IN to favor that one vote was
supplied, and the temperance bill was
passed. Some of his indignant friends
rushed to his seat and rudely demanded
that he move reconsideration, but the
demand was made in sucfra manner as to
excite the anger of the member, and he
refused. Thus was the first temperance
| law under the present Constitution
passed by the vote of a, member In sit.
uation too far gone to count the number
of Senators voting"

George Scoville, the never-let.up young
man who has the misfortune to be mar
ried to member of the Guitesu family,
is to the front again. This time he filed
a petition for the trial of his wife for IN
sanity. In Chicago it takes SO to file a
petition for insanity proceedings, but in
Scoyille's case upon presenting the petit
tion to be filed the necessary SO was not
file it without the money. Scoville then
appealed to Judge Loomis. but the Judge
remarked that Scoville must either pay
the fees like any other suitor, or make an
affidavit that he and his wife were pau.
pers. To this Scoville replied that while
he could not raise So, still he and his
wife Were the possessors Of property
which was so encumbered that they
could not avail themselves of it. Mr..
Scoville was very excited in his manner,
and said that he had been blamed for the
death of President Garfield because he
did not have Guiteau shut up in a lunatic
asylum before he was able to carry out
the assassination. at may be necessary, =,
said Mr.. Scoville, Ito bring that woman
into court and try her in two hours
time" Judge Loomis, however, could
not be moved by the appeal Subse-
quently Scoviile presented an affidavit to
the effect that he had no money to pay
the costs of the petition, and that he
could not at present pay the $6idemanded
by the clerk, that he had no control over
his said wife, and believed it important
to her safety and the safety of others that
she should be restrained under the stat
ute as an insane person without delay.
This affidavit was favorably received,
and the petition was put on file.
