pense and heavy loss TO holders. European markets
having been supplied with wheat from India ana
elsewhere, are not in condition to demand as much
wheat from this country as they did In former
years. Thus we have TO enter upon the labor OF q
new crop year with the prospect chat the
pressure of an enormous surplus carried over will
prevent farmers from getting q fair return. And
meanwhile consumers abroad have been educated to
rely upon other sources for cheaper wheat than we
can send them.
The Syracuse Courier although dyed-in-the- wool
Democratic newspaper. brings serious charge
against the Flower boom. 1t asserts that Liter
airy bureau Is constantly working for Roswell +.
Flower for President" We look to see Dir. Flower
hur back this charge and demonstrate by aftdaylts
that his boom ia due TO spontaneous and irresist-
Ible uprising of the intelligent Democratic masses.
At all events. Mr.. Flower has the floor.
This Is queer world. A Mr.. Buck came to this
city from Canada few days ago. put up atthe
Fifth Avenue Hotel and had the city placarded
with posters announcing himself as tho Messenger
of God. day or two ago he sent for reporter
and forcibly caused himself to be inter-

an end yesterday Friday.) Mr.. Buck is evidently
crazy, and some should take An interest IN him.
Methodist Episcopal Conference, which will meet
in this city next week. dscoses the fact that one Of
its members was cursed at christening with the
name OF Ananias. Now this would be highly APP
propriate baptsmal appellation for good many
Democratic statesmen we have heard OF. but
that member In good standing Of one of our great
Methodist Conferences should be willing to carry
such stamp through life is entirely extraordinary
Whoever named him must have been in similar
frame of mind to that of the worthy but somewhat
unenlightened mother who selected Beelzebab as
Christian name for her offspring. because, as she said
it was in the Bible, and must be all right.
The official statement that last year there were
over 400 cases of trchinosis. with SO deaths, In
Ermsleben, in Prussian Saxony, all caused by the
flesh Of q single hog, eaten raw, is pretty COM
mentary on the German fears of American pork.
TrichInosis has been especially common In SaxOny'
1t is strange that it should occur anywhere when
the one sure precautiOn is to cook the pork thor

our Government Commission found in American
pork is an exceedingly poor excuse for excluding
our meats. When the system Of inspection pro-
posed in the Senate is once in working order, even
that poor protext will be taken away.
The miners in the Pittsburg region appear hard to
please They were said to have agreed unanimously
TO settlement as to wages. in mass meeting near
West Elizabeth on Wednesday. But half of all the
miners in the first pool and part of the dggers in the
third pool went on strike yesterday. Some refuse
to work for 3Ii cents and of the operators on
the other hand refuse to pay that rate. 1t is ntl-
mated, probably with truth, that there is a general
disposition to have strike anyway. if for no other
reason, in order to diminish the production. This
seems the natural sequence of the combination to
raise the cost of coke TO consumers. If the people
who make coal into coke can enjoy monopoly, the
other people who take the coal out of the ground
have at least the rights But the effect or all
these performances on tho manufacturing interests
in the Pttsburg district win be visible little later
