C1A,JiN OF WHEAT.

The time is about arrived, we think.
when the question of wheat inspec.
tion shall be shortly settled. There
does not exist a more arbitrary OF
capricious system of classification Oh
the face of the earth than this, to
which the wheat raisers of the north
west have become the victims. As
at present practised-relying either
on the densest ignorance or the wild
est flight of good nature-there ap-
pears to be no placing of responsible.
ity, no assurance to the farmers of
anything but uncertainty. 1t is but
natural to demand. for the preserva-
tion of the confidence requisite for
stability, that the inspection at the
country elevator should hold absolute
ly at the central market to which the
grain is shipped. If the elevator
man is working all the time with the
idea that he stands chance of hav-
ing grain graded back on him. the
farmers may rest assured that his
grain will be taxed sufficiently heavily
to reduce this chance to the minimum.
The ludicrousness of the the thing is
that the farmer knows it. and the
elevator man knows he knows it.
Railroad commissioner Baker, in his
recently published report. cites an in
stance in point. The wheat Of a
certain locality was being graded so
very low-the agent had made up his
mind that he would not lose anything
at all events that the farmers began
to think they were being bamboozeled
and sent some of their number to
follow the cars to market. In no one
car did they find a depreciation. hut
in large majority Of the cars. they
found, on the contrary, startling ap-
probation of grades.
Now we are not arraigning the
elevator men as class of rOgues, but
we do wish to secure system of in.
spection which will make bushel of
wheat of as much value to the farmer
in his granary or in his country town,
as it is to the miller about to grind it.
Let the law be so strict that it will
permit of no phenomenal appreciation
or depreciation while the grain is in
transit to the mills.
While we confess ignoian as to its
details, the Illinois system of inspec-
tion seems to present basis for the
solution of the question. The stan.
dard is fixed by law at Chicago. and to
this the standard all over the state
must conform. The great point in
favor of the system is that it's practi.
cal application has given general sat
lsfaction. In case of any exception
to the inspection-and these have been
few-there is committee of appeals
appointed by the board of trade of
Chicago, whose decision is final.
The warehouses are licensed, ,and the
proprietors are under bonds for a
faithful performance of their duties
under the law. We believe, too. that
the warehouseman cannot be pur
chaser of the wheat he stores at all
events we would incorporate such a
prohibition in the law.
The contrast between this system,
which has been In use long enough to
demonstrate not only its practicability
but it's ameliorative effect on the
farming class. and our own loose.
unjust and wasteful way of how.not-
to.do-it, is something tremendous.
The remedy is in the hands Of the
victims themselves. Let them see to
it that they apply it.

April. the most pleasant and beautiful
month of the spring in this, our balmy
Southern climate, is upon us. IT'S at
this season, as the poet informs us, that
'the minds of youth lightly turn to
thoughts of love-" All nature has
donned its vernal robe, the fragrant
flowers and beautiful blossoms abound,
and the birds sing their merry songs.
This is also a season for practical mat
tiers when the minds of practical people
are seriously turned to thoughts Of light
apparel and good clothes. The heavy
garments of winter are to be cast aside
and seasonable clothing put on. In
casting about our city Astounding in well
stocked establishments, one desires to
select a place where he can find q varie-
ty, and ut the same time the finest quail
ity of goods. Nowhere in the city can
this be more readily done than at the
grand, palatial establishment OF j. Joske
Il Sons, who are eminently the leaders in
their lines. Their Immense and popular
establishment occupying Nos. IL and 10,
Alamo street, and extending clear back
to Losoya street, is filled with one of the
largest, finest and best assorted sto cks
to be found in any city. Clothing and

light the gas in daylight here. The
stock is exoellently and conveniently ar
ranged, and attendants polite, courteous
and accommodating, always ready to
show it. Each department is arranged

which it is universally conceded no
other man could have successfully en-
countered. With the main line COM

stimulants are not in any sense neces-

this fact Is thoroughly realized by the
public at large it will do more to spread
temperance principles among the masses
than all the lectures that could be
