The official report by the Agricultural Bureau
of the prices and products on farms dcscr yes
especial attention, ~ being widely ut variance
with reports which have recently been circu-
lated Whether the statements of the Bureau
he regarded as absolutely accurate or not, they
are at any rate more trustworthy, and are based
upon n LARGER range of information than any of
the reports put in circulation by spectators on
the one hanl, or by agitatOrs for change in
legislation or in transportation on the other.
Recently committee visited Chicago to repre-
sent that the average price of wheat in Kansas
on the farm was not more than 30 cents. The
Agricultural Bureau reports that it is 40 cents
in that State, 40 in Nebraska, 46 in Dakota, 90
in Minnesota, So in Iowa, 81 in Missouri and
is higher in the other States rs the sea-board
is approached. This statement corresponds
more closely than any of the current reports
with the solid fact that whcat-gr0wlng con-
tinucs to increase, even in the far western
States, where the price received is the lowest.
Notwithstanding the reports that the farmers
get less than the actual cost of production, the
number of farms and the number of acres put
into wheat steadily increase. The estimated
cost of production in the far western States has
been about 40 cents. or even less on some farms
and at this rate il will be seen that some margin
of profit though in many cases very small
one, remains for tho farmer even at the cx-
lremrly low prices now prevailing.
The difficulty is greater with corn, which the
Bureau reports rs averaging only Is cents in
Nebraska - cents in Kansas and 23 in Iowa.
In many of the Western States, corn raising Is
after all only one step in the process OF hog
raising, the farmer realizing better prices by
feeding his corn to hogs than he could realize
by selling his corn in the markets. The price
of oats, averaging % cents for the whole
country, j.. said to be the lowest ever reported
by the department; in Nebraska it Is only 10

THE HdU4IThN TREATY..

The treaty with the Hawaiian Islands has
been renewed by the President. and will come
before tho Senate for confirmation. This treaty
was originally urged by tho people of the Pacific
States with great earnestncss. They believed,
with much appearance Of reason. that il would
secure them cheaper sugar and other products,
and greatly increase their traffic with the
islands. 1t is ono Of the striking facts of COM
mercial history that under tho operation of this
treaty, instead Of getting cheaper sugar, the
people of the Pacific Coast have been compelled
TO pay about 2 cents n pound for tho article
moro than the people of tho Atlantic States.
A monopoly secured control of the production
In tho islands, and the rates by rail from the
East being so high as practically to exclude
Eastern sugar. tho people of the Pacific Coast
have been compelled to pay whatever price the
Hawaiian monopoly saw 6t TO demand. u

IN nosscssion of the details OF the Spanish
treaty. together with the opinions OF the
President and of the Secretary OF State
about it, Mr.. Arthur and MIR. Frcllng-
buvscn both favor its ratification. The
President is brief; but the Secretary en-
ora more infinitely into discussion OF
the convention. He points out what he con-
sders the advantages to be reaped by inc
United States from the reduction III dunes ana
the removal of tonnage dues on vessels. Inc
population on the islands, he thinks, should
not be counted against the document, ior al

In his lecture before the Military Service IN
stitution yesterday, Captain Edward flcld out
lined a formation tor line of battle in the face
of the fire from modern brecch-loading arms
of precision which has many strong points.
But it is doubtful if any fixed rule for forma
ton in battle can be laid down. As rapldity
and accuracy of fire increase. so will the proper
fighting formation be governed more and more
by circumstances. The character OF the men
whom he commands, the character of the en-
envy, the nature of the ground, the state OF the
battle-all these things have to be taken INTO
consideration by a commanding officer, ana the
great General will be the one who can instantly
see not only the proper movement to make, bnt
the most effective fighting formation III when
to make it. We may yet sec the old Napoleonic
column charge on modern battlefield, or cav
airy sweep in among infantry as did the squad
rons of the younger Kellerman at Marengo.
