The Chicago Tribune discusses at
length the cost of raising a bushel of
wheat in the various wheat sections.
The question is one it believes to be
Of very great practical Importance it
as generally conceded, the production
OF the great staple has outgrown the
demand. The process of readjusting
the conditions 5 to tile new phase is nat
urally q slow one and entered upon re.
luctantly by farmers. In England the
cost of production Is put st s35 an
acre, while the products at the prices
this year was worth but 625. This in.
VOWED the loss of $40 an acre and Of
course will compel the growth Of sub.
stitutes for wheat, unless there is an
early advance that would seem to be
permanent. The information received
by The Tribune from the wheat dis.
trict in the states is that the cost of
an acre in wheat is from SO to $40.
At a yield of fifteen bushels per acre
the returns is below tie cost. The.
farmer cannot afford to continue the
process. He must reduce the wheat
acreage and find something toll take
the place. The same authority quotes
2 BONANZA farmer in Dakota as placing
his averge yield at twenty bushels an
acre. at cost Of about forty cent a
bushel. This is believed to be the
minimum. and rather under the cost
of the small farmer who cannot buy
his supplies and conduct the operation
at Wholesale figures. The conclusion
is that in Dakota wheat can be grown
more cleaply than in any other part
of the country. but still the present
figures as 9 permanency would not be
encouraging: In the southern coun.
ties stock raising and flax are receiv.
ing rapidly growing attention. They
will take the place Of wheat to great
extent evidently. That wheat will
appreciate in price seems an inevitable
conclusion of reduced acreage. The
farmer who il able to produce the
finest quality Of grain at the lowest
cost has the foreground for tie future.

WASHINGTON, Feb. N.--In the Dan.
willie investigation to-day, j. D. Black.
we'll (white), an attorney ut law and
Judge Of the Corporation Court OF the
town of Danville, testified that he wit
messed the entire riot from . window
opposite 10 the position Of the whites
and described 1t logically and clearly.
He was called TO the window Of the
room by cries of murder, and he saw q
white man beating q negro over the
head with . stick. The negro was cry
ing " murder "at the top Of HE voice.
The word murder" was the articula.
ted word he heard from beginning to
end OF the riot, being very deaf at that
time, rs . result Of taking large
doses of quinine.
He saw two other white men, with
drawn pistols, standing by the comba-
tsnts. A powerful negro crossed the
street and attempted to take Lea's pis.
tol from him. The two fell, and the ne.
gro, for some reason, Immediately jump.
ed up and ran. Lea arose, took deliber.
ate aim at the negro and fired, but did
not hit him.
Whites and colored collected from al
quarters-the negroes in the street, the
whites on the sidewalk. Several white,
were gesticulating excitedly and an
grily toward the negroes, apparently
trying to disperse them, and three o,
four of the negroes were gesticulatinl
a. excitedly in return. Two or three o.
the whites were then seen in close con
sulation, and, shortly afterwards, the
whites formed In an orderly line, one
end being curved slightly, owing tt
distractions and to the shape of tht
crowd of negroes. Pistols were drawn
and levelled. The negroes turned tt

when the volley was fired.
The discharge was like that of drill

heard q more orderly discharge in bat.
tie. The succeeding discharges were

had aimed deliberately at the crowd o.
negroes with a purpose, 10 far as wit
nesses could Judge, to do execution.
Senator Sherman handed to witness
copy of the Danville circular, and
asked II the statements we're true. Wit
ness replied that some of them were
but, In his opinion, the great majority
of them were false. Taking the state
ments one by one he pointed out th'
true and false. The negroes were in 8
large majority in every ward in Dan
Vile. There had never been a tim,
when they could not have elected ne
gro to fill every position in the towr
Council. As a matter of fact, tn,
whites had always had q majority il

the evils complained of in the circular
1t was in the power of any man wht
sigued the circular to learn that certain
Of its statements were false.
