SPEAKING OF the wheat situation,
a dispatch says that "the rich har-
vests of the present season In Russia,
as well rs the masses Of wheat stored
In various parts Of that country, es-
pecially in Odessa, and the reduction
Of through freight tariff, leave little
doubt that Russian wheat will su-
percede American wheat in Switzer-
land and southern Germany. Rus
sian wheat dealers strain every nerve
to supply the markets Of central and
southern Europe with this article,
and they are supported in their en-
deavors by the low cost Of transport
alton, both by railroad ahd sea and
river steamers, In consequence Of
which Russian wheat Is offered at a
very low price. All these clreum-
stances cause a constant increase in
the export Of wheat from Russia into
Italy, south Germany and Swift
zerland, byway Of Genoa, Marseilles,
Antwerp and Rotterdam, 50 that this
country is almost entirely supplied
with Russian wheat. Statistics show
that the export Of American wheat
has decreased, while its production
has been increased. There must,
therefore be a necessary fall In its
price. What is to be done in order
to furnish an outlet for this surplus
age? Both its price and the cost Of
its transportation must be reduced.
Let our American wheat export
ers send a competent person to Eu-
rope, whose duty It shall be to study
carefully tine wheat markets Of Eng
land, Germany, Switzerland, etc,
as well as the question Of transporta-
tion OF wheat from the ports Of
Genoa, Havre, Marseilles, Antwerp,
and Rotterdam to wheat centers In
the interior, and from commercial
connections with such centers, by
offering a good quality Of wheat at
least at the same price as the Rus
sian can be purchased for. Ameri-
can wheat might be cheaply trans
ported from New York, Philadelphia
and Baltimore 10 any Of the above
mentioned ports, either In freight
steamers or in sailing vessels, or in
both, and by Judicious management
1t may regain command OF the mar
kets Of England, south Germany
and Switzerland"

THE Cheney Tribune and the Spo-

It will be remembered that few
days since we republished an article
from the OTegOnian which purported
to be a chance interview between
Miss Rose Eytinge, the famous
actress, and Fred'k Post, Esq, dur
ing that lady's visit to this city. We
regret to say that Mr.. Post feels very
much annoyed over the item, as II
was Overdrawn and in many respects
false. He showed that delicate cour-
tesy to the lady in a meeting, in no
wise his own seeking, characteristic
Of the gentleman. No doubt Miss
Eytinge holds in kindly remember
ance the treatment she received
through the hands OF Mr.. Post and
family, who were entirely ignorant
Of the name Of their guest, and we
do not believe that she gave the re-
porter the substance OF the articleas
written. In this community, where
Mr.. Post has been known for years
and respected for his truthfulness
and sturdy integrity, the item was
looked upon as a pleasantly, and no
one for a moment believed that he
had made use Of the language as re-
ported.

The carnival on rollers last evening
as the Inauguration Of the opera
house rink for the winter season was
a grand affair in point Of numbers at
tending, and the managers are to be
congratulated upon the success that
rewared their efforts. The number
that attended TO see aud enjoy the
carnival was far in excess Of those
who appeared in fancy costume, yet
there was a sufficient humber Of
masqueraders to make the event ex-
eeedingly interesting. A couple Of
hours were spent in skating when
the floor was cleared and the balance
OF the evening given up. to the
dancers. A young daughter of Mr..
Joy was awarded the first prize, she
representing Chinese boy, and act

prize was awarded to a pretty young
lady who was dressed as a gypsy,

DURING last week there was CON
siderable travel to the Chewolah
mining district and it is evident
from what we hear that there will
be rush to the camp in the early
spring. We would caution people
against being too precipitous in their
desire to get into these mines. The
winter is the wrong season for pros
pecting, and for a man depending
upen his labor for a living there Is
absolutely nothing for him to do In
that country at the present, time,
and there can be no hopes Of work or
a chance to make locations till May.
Most OF those men now at the mines
have means to bridge them over the
winter, and they do not expect to do
much work until spring. What Is
wanted Is capital TO develop the
claims, and men without money will
find It a very unwelcome place 10
visit just now. So far the value OF
the mines Is unknown. Old expert
enced prospectors arc entirely salts
fed with the outlook, and II their
judgment is anything to rely upon,
1t is safe to say that Chewelah Is tho
coming mining district OF the Pacific
coast. We strongly object to a repe-
tition of the Occur PAlene craze, as
that rush was nonsensical at the sea-
son of the year when 1t occurred;
neither do we believe that such a
result is to follow the discovery Of
the present mines. Next spring we
look for a healthy immigration Of
miners into the upper country and
expect wonderful results from their
investigations. Until that time home
is the best place for every man who
is subject to attacks of mining fever.

EVER since the REVIEW started in
this city the papers in Cheney have
perslstently attacked 1t and Spokane
Falls. In not a single instance dur.
ing that eighteen months have we
taken the aggressive, and, while we
have said many things that were not
at all complimentary, we have never
singled out private individual, nor
have we used disgustingly vile Ian
guage. In overy instance we have
been on the defensive, and we chal-
lenge the production Of single arti-
Gle that was not called out by open
abuse or mean innuendo. During all
this time, presuming that the editor
Of the Sentinel possessed some Of the
attributes Of gentleman, we have
treated him with courtesy, but an
article that, appeared in the last issue
Of that sheet, in which he attacks
the editor Of this paper without just
cause, shows US our mis- lake, and
whoever was the author Of the item
in question, it bears the earmarks Of
a low bred blackguard.

TO the Editor Of the Globe:

Talk has the temerity to add that Mr.

quence.
II isn't pleasant TO have the Father Of his

IN EXCITING ENGLISH LIBEL SUIT.

Some me ntion has already been made in
the GLOBE of libel suit in England COM
menced by Mr.. F. NJ. Adams, a respectable
London barrister, against Bernard Coleridge,
a son Of Chief Justice Coleridge, for libel.
Adams had been sutton for the hand Of
Miss Mildred Coleridge, daughter of the
Chief Justice, who was violently opposed TO
his daughters marrying Adams. The libel
suit was based upon a calumnious letter
written by Bernard to his sister, against Ad-
ans to dissuade her from marrying him.
The letter it is alleged was written at the in
stance of the Chief Justice himself. I>he
daughter refused to be influenced by her
brother or father, and the baffled Chief JUS
tice, ignobly disinherited her. On the trial
of the libel suit, Mr.. Adams conducted his
own case. In his opening remarks he said
he had much affection for Miss Coleridge but
he had not thought of marrying her. Now,
however, he said they were resolved to get
married. Attorney General Jones moved a
nonsuit on the ground that the plaintiff had
no case. The judge decided to let the case
60 to the jury, ruling however, that the letter
was privileged letter, and that Adams to
maintain his case must prove express mall
ice, or dishonesty, reserving his right to de-
eide the case, If the verdict of the jury was
not in accordance with his ruling. The jury
were out fifty minutes and brought in YER
dict for the plaintiff of 5000. The Judge
arbitrarily overruled the verdict and gave a
verdict with costs to Coleridge. A crowded
audience witnessed the trial, among whom
we're many eminent lawyers. The sympa-
thies of the people were with Mr.. Adams,
who made a favorable impression on all his
hearers by his eloquence, his manliness, and
his patience under the frequent sneering in
terruptions If the presiding Judge, Mr. JUS
tie Manisty. The Attorn ey General rely
ing upon the bias of the judge conducted the
case carelessly. called no witnesses, and even
declined to cross examine the plaintiff
Adams.
Mr.. Adams consented at the last moment,
not to call Chief Justice Coleridge and Miss
Mildred Coleridge, as witnesses, though both
had been sub-penaed, and were present In
summing up and submitting the case to the
jury, Mr.. Justice Manisty, was openly and
decidedly against the plaintiff and instructed
the jury that it was wholly unnecessary for
the defendant to prove the truth of the
charges against Adams, made in the letter TO
his sister. When the jury returned their
verdict for the plaintiff, there was burst of
! applause which the court officers were una bic
TO suppress.
When the judge reversed the verdict Of the
jury there was a tremendous sensation in
the courtroom Mr.. Adams was thoroughly
satisfied that the jury was with him when he
closed the case, and bnt for this belief be
would have prolonged the case to another

TIE RoBERT STREEr BeTDGE.

The city council relieved the chamber Of
commerce Of good deal Of trouble last night
by directing the city clerk TO advertise for
proposals for the Robert street bridge, based
upon the estimate Of the city engineer that
the cost of said structure viii be S376, OOO
This was a very proper action and whatever
diversity Of opinion there may be at the pres
ent time, the ultimate verdict will be unani-
mously in favor OF the construction of the
second bridge at this time.
In the judgment Of the GLOBE the travel
already demands a second structure, the
Wabashaw street bridge, at certain hours OF
the day, being overcroWded. There are l2,-
600 or $1,000 people living upon the West
side, and several thousand have their work
or business on this side Of the river. No
matter what part of the city their employ
ment may be they must reach it by Waba-
shaw street. If the people residing on
Dayton and Nelson avenues, and on
Iglehart and Carroll street were compelled to
reach their homes by the Ramsey street bill,
it would not only be hardship, but those
streets would be unoccupied. 1t is the loca-
ton and accessibility Of property which
gives ~ us value, dnu II Is the increased
value Of property which gives a city its rev
enue from taxation, without increasing the
burdens Of the taxpayers.
The interest on the bonds necessary to con-
struct the bridge win be less than twenty-five
thousand dollars per annum and long before
the bridge is completed the increased assess
mention property increased in value BY the
location of the bridge, win pay the interest on
the bonds without increasing the general
taxation a single mill.
Even If the present bridge was not over
taxed, and II was not precarious to rely on a
single structure, it would pay, as business
investment, TO erect a second bridge for the
purpose of more rapidly developing the city
st. Paul has grown to her present pro-
portions because men of sagaeity
and capital pushed railroads out over
our prairies and brought people and business
after them. Where and what would ST. Paul
be to-day If no more railroads had been built
then were demanded by the population prior
TO their construction With this experience
before them, there ought TO be sagacity
enough among those who mistakenly assume
that the Wabashaw street bridge is nos over
crowded, to favor this second structure as a
business enterprise.

Justice Mitchell gave an opinion yesterday
in the supreme court on the appeal Of the
Minneapolis & Northwestern Railway com
pany against the City Council of Minueapo-
lis, for writ Of mandamus to compel the
city council to pay sos, 900 in bonds voted
by the city on certain conditions.
The suprems court refuses the writ Of
msndamus in a syllabus which is published
in the court records OF the
GLOBE this morning. In short
the opinion of the court states that Minneap-
oils voted 1000 bonds to the Minneapolis q
Northwestern company for every ten miles
OF road completed to open the country to toe
north and northwest Of that city, with a pro-
visO that the general Offices should be located
in that city, but the Minnesota & Northwest
ern Railroad company proved 10 be a cOrpOr-
alton only on paper and has never built
single mile OF railroad. The Manitoba COM
pany, under the charter Of the Northwestern,
has built sixiy-thTee miles Of this road
TO s.. Cloud, but instead of obtaining the
general Offices Minneapolis secures thereby
only ''loop'' line which is merged at St.
Paul. The supreme court rules that though
this Sixtv-thTee miles Of road com pleted to
s.. Cloud and there connecting with the St.
Vincent branch OF the Manitoba road, is
more OF less advantageous TO Minneapolis,
that that city is nevertheless entitled in the
premises to what it bargained for before It
pays its 81 900 bonds per mile. The North
western company claims that the contract is
not a condition precedent to the issue
Of the bonds and that it is entitled to a writ
Of mandamus to compel the issue OF the
bonds and the city to perform its part Of the
contract No court could issue the writ to
compel specific performance Of contract
when the party seeking had himself broken
his part of the contract, even although the
thing omitted had not been expressly made
4 condition precedent 10 the performance of
the other party. Therefore the court rules
that the headquarters and general offices rep
reseRting these sixty-three miles Of road
must be located in Minneapolis before these
bonds are issued and must be maintained
there afterwards, though not in express terms
declared TO be n condition precedent, ret at
tached as prOviso n the very section which
authorizes the issu. OF the bonds, which in
cludes IL In its conditions before the council
should direct execution and issue of the
bonds.
The result of this decision is that the Mani
toba road must operate these sixty-three miles
of road, from Minneapolis moving up there
from St Paul, or lose $63, 900.
