A letter just in from a prairie farmer,
exhibits great fear on the part of him
self and neighbors as to the future Of
the wheat market, and he asks elf
the wheat crop as source of profit for
American farmers, has not gone to
the bow-wows.n There are multi
tudes of others in the same anxious
state of mind, brought on by the
present very low prices as compared
with few past years, and reports OF
future strong competition from India,
Australia, Southeastern Europe, etc.
It is true that we are in part realiz-
ing what this pen predicted two and
three years past, viz, that if the spec
ulators were not choked off, the
natural export would be checke d, and
the unnatural high prices maintained
would stimulate the development OF
supplies from distant Regions. CAS-
we write this, the telegraph brings
word of the financial failure of one of

HOW sutIer likes the Nomination.

HOW Butler LIKES the Nomination.
WASHINGTON CITY, May 49, Gen Butler
was on the floor of the house when he re-
ceived the information that he had been
nominated for president by the Anti Monop-
oily convention at Chicago. He did not con-
ceal the fact that he was pleased upon re-
ceiving the information. He had talk with
number of leading Democrats, in which he
discussed political matters. He admitted
that he hoped to receive the Democratic
nomination at Chicago.
There are many Democrats here who think
that, after Tilden, Butler has the best chance
to be the Democratic nominee 1t is quite
surprising to notice the number Of admirers
he has. The Michigan men are red-hot for
him. Lee Crandall, The National View edi-
tor and a Greenbacker, says Butler will be
nominated by acclamation; that the size of
that convention will astonish the country,
and that the platform adopted by it will be
drawn by Gen. Buffers own hand, and will
be liberal, progressive and popular, designed
to start such boom as will result in the gen.
erals Endorsement by the Democrats.
BOSTON, May 17.-Gen. Butler has written
as follows to Mr.. Shively, of South Bend,
Ind, the secretary Of the national Anti
Monopoly committees:
"If there is any portion of the people in
this country who desire to vote for me for
president, shall not oppose their doing so,
and they may do it in any way they
may see fit; for it is their business to vote as
they believe, and not mine to direct them.
Therefore, while l do not deem it proper
for me to take any part in putting my name
before any body of men as candidate for
any office, shall greatly appreciate any
action OF the people or any portion Of the
people of the country who think l am fit to
serve them in any officen

Start ling Facts.

Permit me Mr.. Editor to give your
readers some ia cts from good authority.
The statistics of the Treasury Dept.
at Washington declare the annual
cost of alcoholic beverages in the U. S.
to be not far from $7OO,O00,OOO. Our
schools cost US $S5 100000 annually.
Our libraries are worth $4,000, 900
Our gifts to missions are less than
S. 100000 annually. How do these
figures look to patriotic citizens?
Are they not some what alarming?
To me it is q st artling fact that while
from $12, 600 to 10000 has annually
been finding it's way into the pockets
of our saloon keepers, we are unable
to sustain preaching in our churches.
We are unable to have necessary work
done to our streets and we are too poor
to have much needed school house
built. And it is also an astounding
fact that our good christian business
men," for whose success the prayers of
the saints are weekly offered up, are
SO fearful of injuring the saloon in
terests and "driving away trade
that they not only oppose the "no-
| license" idea but refuse to run the
present very low license to reason
able sum. Gentlemen, you are seek
ing prosperity from q villanious source
You are building your business hopes
on very rotten and entirely unscript
ural foundation.

The Inter-Ocean describes move
invention as follows:
An INGENIOUS fellow in Ohio has
constructed sheet iron hen that
promises to lay him d golden egg.
1t is finished up to life, full size, cakles
clucks, and looks with one eye at u
time so naturally that it will deceive
the oldest hen hawk in the country
1t is so arranged that when q hawk
mink, or polecat pounces on to it, the
back springs open and the wings fly
up and the assailant drops on to a raw
enous buzz saw that makes. 700 revo-
tions per minute. After moving half a
minute the saw stops, the hen closes
up, folds it's wings, and begins to
cackle as though it had just laid all
egg. One winding up will answer for
three massacres, provided the rather
delicate machinery does not get
clogged up too much with the blood,
bones, and feathers. He set freshly
painted one out in the sun to dry the
other day, which attracted the atten-
ton of u fine old cat belonging to a
doctor who had been poking great
deal of fun at the fool thing. The hen
is there but the cat is hence.
