EX-SENATOR CoNKLING is a man

From all sections of the wheat
bait come glowing reports of the
promising condition of the crop, and
unless some disaster intervenes be-
tween now and harvesttime the yield
will undoubtedly be a very large one.
A few isolated cases, according to
reports, show failures but such short
age will be more than counterbalan-
ced by the increased acreage sown.
In Dakota alone the yield Of spring
wheat will be enormous, as hundreds
of thousands of virgin acres are be-
ing cultivated by the thousands of
settlers who have gone into that Ter
ritory in the early spring. From
railroad sources it is estimated that
in Southern Dakota $1,000 acres of
new ground will be added to the
wheat acrege; in Central Dakota,
$4,000, and in the James River
Valley, 10000 acres. The Northern
Pacific officials state that along its
lines in the Territory the increase of
wheat acreage will be 100 per cent.
The Manitoba Road estimate that
that the increase along their lines
will be 100000 bushels. The av-
erage cost of wheat raised in this
rich Territory is about forty cents
per bushel. From California come
glowing accounts of the outlook for
all vegetable growth, the prospects
or a fruitful harvest being greatly
augmented by the prolonged spring
rain, which the farmers consider
worth thirty millions of dollars.
These facts are q serious obstacle in
the way of the croakers who predict
shortage in this cereal, with . view
to influencing prices. There does
not seem to be any reason to fear Q
scarcity OF wheat next fall.

There are lust enough Republican

There are just enough Republican
voters in Pennsylvania to form one
victorious Republican party, and no
more. Ninety-fve per cent. of those
who call themselves Republicans
vote for the candidates of their par
ty. Five per cent. vote for the DEM
ocratic candidates because Republic
can leaders insist on organizing the
party to keep the ninety-five per
cent. together, and threaten to re-
main boilers if the determination to
organize is kept up. This means
placing Pennsylvania in the list OF
Democratic Statess in 1884. 1t means
picking the tariff to pieces until pro-
lection is destroyed. 1t means the
destruction of our now perfect sys-
TEN of currency and a return to the
old wildcat banking system. And
it means paralysis of our national

Mr.. Talmage is about right when
he says the great want of the day lis
practical religion-a religion that
will correctly label goods that will
prevent a man telling you a watch
was made in Geneva when it was
made in Massachusetts, that will
keep the ground glass and the sand
out of sugar; that will sift out the
Prussian blue from the tea leaves ;
that will separate the one quart of
water from the one honest drop of
cows milk" He thinks practical
religion will remedy all this, cast
out hypocrisy, upset shoddy, and
make decency, honesty, and truth
dominant. He is certain it will
come down with a heavy hand on
fashionable society, and correct the
iniquities that now exist in it.
Among these iniquities, Mr.. Tai
mage asserts, is the not uncom-
mon intoxication fashionable wo-
men. Society says she was taken
suddenly i'll ofthe german. The fact
is she took too much champagne and
mixed liquors and got drunk" In
teresting pictures these Mr.. Talmage

Worth, of the Lebanon Courier,
has discovered the political Dude,
and thus describes him.
In many respects we live in a Gu
rious age. Change is going on very
rapidly-whether always for .he best
in questionable. The silly dude"
in societo is an offspring of a spirit
of the age. Too effeminate to have
an earnest thought or a manly inspi-
ration, his nilsson is to be meat,
trinity dressed" and pass through
life as perfectly WORTHLESS as it is pos
sible for a living object to be. This
is the spirit that in politics is too
nice to be manly, too goody-good to
be true to convictions, too ready to
get into the popular current to main
tain sharply-drawn principles of
government deemed to be essential to
the public welfare. 1t is not the
spirit that threw off the British yoke
and made us On independent nation;
it is not the spirit that inspired the
mastery eloquence of Henry Clay
when he stirred up the manli-
less of the nation in the war of 1872
against England; it is not the spirit
that made the fiery old Commoner,
Thaddeus, Stevens the leader of the
house during the trying years of the
rebellion when his earnest leadership
was one of the instrumentalities that
saved the nation.
Let all true sons of our great Re-
public pray that this manly old spir-
it of earnestness and fidelity to con-
viction may not die out, but that it
may live and carry US through the
ages to true progress and greatness

Bacteria in Mountain Air.

That alcoholic liquors are destructive
TO mind and body, that the water we
drink is never free from contamination,
and that much of our food is danger
Dusly aduiterated, are truths with which
we have all become familiar. 1t was a
consolation in the midst of so much i'm
purity to reflect that in the mountains, if
we could only get to them, we could at
east breathe pure air. But this also is
vanity. Bacilli bacteria meet us at every
turn; and there are microbes even in
mountain air. Children, after seeing at
a scientific lecture, the monsters con-
.ained in drop from the filter, have
been known for some time afterwards to
nOln water in adherence, and to refuse
nnder all circumstances to drink it, and
after reading the report of Prof. Freu-
1erreich, Of Berne, and DR.. MIGUEL,
chief of the Montsouris Observatory, on
atmospheric air, the timid may almost
be afraid to breathe. The air of large
towns is simply unfit for human con-
sumption, and though reluctant assent
is given to Prof. Tyndall's general con-
.lusion that the air at great heights is
ior the most part of a high degree of
purity, this does not alter the fact that
bacteria are always present in noun
Jain air. Nevertheless there are de-
grees in atmospheric purity. Very good
air. indeed. can be found at from two
thousand to four thousand metres above
The level of the sea; and the air on the
surface of Swiss lake contains bacteria
only in the proportion of .S5 to 500
cubic metres. The air of the land near
a lake is three times more impure than
that of the lake itself; the air of a room
in the same locality thirty times more
impure; the air of Montsouris, near
Paris, $50 times more impure, and the
air of the Rue Rivoli 400 more impure
Although not pure in an absolute scien-
life sense, the atmosphere of the Swiss
mountains is after all little better than
that of Paris st. James Gazette,

The &rs.t Canal.

IN regard to the work on the gres,
canal across the isthmus of Panama, anc
the progress that Is being made there
the New Orleans Times Democrat ha.
the following: The total length of The
canal is seventy-foure Kilometres from
the Atlantic to its mouth in the Pacific
at the islands Naos and Flamenco. Il
is divided into twelve sections, the mos,
important of which are those of Colon,
Gorgona, Obispo. Emperador, Culebra
and Paraiso. These united sections
employ daily thirty steam excavators,
forty locomotives and eight hundred tip
wagons. There are 9O.OO0.00O cubic
metres to be excavated. The grand
cutting, about .two-thirds Of which has
already been excavatad, is the cutting
between Obispo and Paraiso. The force
employed upon the work is upward OF
10000 men. and the excavation up tc
the 18th of October amounted to more
than 100000 cubic metres. During
these latter months of the bad season
the excavations have amounted to about
35O, 600 metres per month. This figure
will be quintupled during the fine sea
son. which commences in December,
and the next year mostly all the neces-
sary machinery will be at work, and the
excavations will amount to 4,0OO,0 OO
metres per month. The working force
will be augmented, and will form total
of $4,000 men. AtColon the port works
are nearly complete. The terre plein,
with the breakwater, destined to lessen
the effect of the heavy seas at the en-
trance of the canal, is finished. An
entire town has appeared there, with a
collection of workshops, warehouses and
connecting railways for the reception
and distribution of the material. The
earth for the terre plein was taken from
Monkey hill, where great cutting has
been specially opened with the object of
hlling up the lagOons at the bottom of
the bay of Colon to improve the sanitary
condition. The first of the 12O-horse
power machines between Colon and
Eatan, distance of niue kilometres, is
In full blast and is able to excavate the
enormous quantity of G,OO0 metres per
diem, to be paid at the rate of one franc
per fifty cubic metres. The Pacific
opening between the mouth of the Rio
Grande and ParaisO is contracted for by
the Franco-American Trading Com
pany. The first machine of the Ameri-
can system will commence work in a
few days. and will be supplemented by
others, which will be necessary to finish
this part of the canal in two years as a
maximum from Gatan to Bahia Soldado.
On the Atlantic side, the company are
working two machines, furnishing a
minimum of 1000 cubic metres per diem.
