VALUABLE PR1zrs.-Eothing is
more remarkable than the unusual
interest which has bsen taken in az
Economical matters by the American
public during the rast two years.
To such an extent has this been true

The Cynic


One of the most dissgresabls hu-
man beings is the oynic who does not
bslieve in good or disinterestsd
motives. He distrusts every one.
He is skep'ical as to the aimee rity Of
all men, and he believer that self
Interest prompts all their actions.
Whenever you see one of these
men you see one who is 80 filied with
sel6shness that there is not room
enough inside him for it and for all
the egolism he trios to carry, and you
will see it oczng out OF him at every
pore. These two attributes crowd
his soul into small compass, press
on his heart until there is not room
for it to develop q generous impulse
and take possession Of his mind until
liberal or noble thoughts cease to ex.
ist there.
Hs is liberal enough in one way
liberal in unbeliefs-but q narrow
minded bigot in his b'liefs. When
he hears Of some u SO FISH act, hs be.
gins hunting for selfish motive, and
should he fail to find it, he s,ys:
well, l cannot understand what
1t is for, Tut he must expect benefit
by it somehow"
Certainly, he cannot understand q
disintersstsd act of kindness, because
all his own m,tives are prompted by
self-intsrsst. He knows of no higher
motives.
The cynic is simply what he be-
lisves all other msn-who are not
fcols-to be. His heart is not large
enough to conceive chivalrous act;
his brain 10 not of suffi ,ient dimen-
sions to bsgst or be delivered of .
noble or generous thought, and his
little soul so shrivsled that if it we're
possible that it could ever get to
FL aven, and if Peter should .nils
a ", leone rs he let it in, it would
Immediately suspect the sanity gate
man of having Som. interested motive
in being so friendly.
Whenever you meet man cf this
kind, who suspects that everybody in
the world is trying 20 take advantage
of him, you may be sure that the
mau would beat everybody in the
world if he csuld. Wnsn .vsr you
see a man attribute mean or sordid
motives to Others, you have found q
man who himself is moan at heart,
and you have dis covered man Who
may hsve many acqusintances, but
very few friends.
Snakes, even the most vsnomous,
arc snrl o.sd to have bsen created
for soIne useful purpose, aud so the

SPECIAL dispatches from the prin-
ciral points Of the entire winter wheat
growing section are not encouraging
i,rar abundant harvest. 1t is claim
Cd that the severe and continuous
cold has tsen fatal to this crop.
Wheat has not been favored with
considerable snow, Large areas
where the snow was light have been
winter killed. A few localities which
might have escaped the winter have
been Injured by the fly. In Ohio
the outlook is declared Encouraging.
Good judges estimate the crop at 70
per cent. Of last years while others
think it will not exceed so per cent.
In llliueis the prospect varies. The
localities inspected had been generally
damaged by frost. In some sections
the injury was slight. The loss is
variously estimated at from 10 to 80
per cent. In Wisconsin q consider a.
portion of the crop has been winter
killed. Favorable weather is neces-
sarv to insure the remainder. Ths
returns from Iowa Kansas and Mis-
souri, are more favorable, especially y
those from Missouri. Reports from
the Pacific coast are now very encou-
raging. The fairest estimate gives
the total for the wheat belt at rs per
cent. of an average crop.

WAsuiSGroS, D. G., November 12.-The
Danyills Times has an editorial entitled
Provoked the DanYille Riot" Ac-
corlipg 10 the Times, w. E. Sims, a Coali-
tion speaker, did it twenty.iours hours
before The shooting began. He "rose
amidst the shouts OF at least five hundred
negroes" moreover, "be stood on the steps
Of the court house with large torch-
light before him." The Danville editor
was there and saw the "horrid spectacle;
one lone white man standing
amidst vast crowd Of Africans, who were
whoopipg and yelling at the top Of their
voices-and at night. But that was not all.
nSims rose with the famous DAnville cir
cular in his hand, and the first thing he
did was to read the names oi all the sign
ers, twenty. sight in number, men Of the
highest standibgand universally respected.
He denounced the statements in the circu.
| lar as false and their authors as liars.
His object seems to be to iDiame the
minds oil the negroes against those gentle
men, anu 10 EUR UP Uau leeitn6 uSthcou
the rich and poor"
AS though this was not bad enough, he
"ridiculed some OF the signers OF the circu.
lar" and when "hs finished reading aud
commenting on the document, he read the
uames OF the tweDty.eight signers second
time, saying they were sset Of liars, towards
and scouudrels."
The editor continues: Just think oil 1t.
A speaker denonncing in that styletwenty-
eight Of our mest respected citizens, and
the negroes yelling their applause with
hell;sh delight. Can anything be imagined
better calculated to bring on row, and
yet those white Democrats who heard the
diabolical harangue and heard the shouts
Of the negroes, stood it, and they did it for
the cake Of peace"
The editor said that mot hair Of Sims
head was touched" aud that, thanks to
| to the high sense Of duty Of our law.abid-
| ing citizens and their love Of peace" they
even "p4rmitted him to get in buggy with
James Verser and drive out Of town next
day unmoIested." And after he was gone,
the "law-abiding" and "peace.ioying" cii-
zens Of DAnville turned In and began shoot
