A LARGE Cleveland banner, which had

THE people of New York, and, through
them, of the whole country, have been
treated recently to specimen of Demo-
cratic methods of carrying out any precon-
ceived deviltry, that should be warning to
them not to trust the vast interests of this
great Government in the hands of any such
party.
For some time several companies have
been trying to get from the city Govern
ment n franchise for building surface rail
road on Broadway. Two or thee offered to
pay the city 100000 for such grant, but
the Board of Aldermen gaze the franchise to
certain parties for nothing. Their action
was vetoed by Mayor Edison, and a tempo
rary injunction restraining them from giu
ing away such valuable franchise was
sued out.
This suit was discontinued, and before
another could be procured, eighteen men,
bers Of the Board-being over two-thirds-
met IN special session at 8 a. m, on Sltur-
day morning last, passed the grant over the
Mayors veto, and then adjourned, thus
giving their favorites cool million of dol
lars for nothing-a most corrupt aud damna-
bic trausaction-whicb will, in the end, no
doubt, make every man who voted for it
rich for life. All New York is of the opin-
ion that these meu were bribed to take the
action they did, and the city is red-hot over
the rascally business. Now, If these things
are done in the green-tree, what will be
| done in the dry?
lit they will do such rascally deed as
this in New York city, what would they
not do If they got their hands into Uncle
Sans big box ? IF the leading men of the
party in New York will steal million in
broad daylight, what safety would there bo
for the hundreds of millions in Uncle Sam s
| strong box? Why, they'd walk OFF with
| the money and box both, and sneeringly
ask the people: "What are you going to do
about it ?" THE CRITIC believes the rank
and file of the Democratic party are just rs
honest and trustworthy as the rank aud
file of any other party, but the men who
have got control of the party machinery
| arc not to be trusted.

THE people out in Montana picture tho
Piegan Indians as slowly starving. The
officers Of the Indian Bureau, in this city,
represent them as living on tho fat of the

They have not been heard from.

THE CRITIC notices with Indignation
that tho scurrilous and mendacious organs
Of Indiana Democracy arc charging that
Major Calllins, Republican candidate for
Governor of Indiana, is n common sot, and
that hc is frequently seen beastly drunk on
the streets of Washington, when Congress
is in session. moro mendacious, cruel,
cowardly, dastardly lie was never uttered
by human lips or penned by human
bands. Every citizen ofWashington knows
il to bo foul, dirty, brazen-browed politi-
cal lie. The writer of this paragraph has
been in Washington every winter that
Major Calkins has spent here has met
him on the streets, in the halls Of Congress,
at private parties and in public gatherings
in the glare Of day and under the shades o
night, and has yet to SEQ Major Calkins
take his first drink OF intoxicants or enter
place where they are sold. Ho has met
with and talked with Major G. at all
hours of the day and night, almost, and ho
has never yet seen tho least indication -
either in voice, tongue, or bearing
that he had been drinking. He was
once accused of being "full' during tho
closing hours of a session, but such Demo-

charge as dirty, malicious and willful
falsehood. Those who follow up the pro-
ceedngs of the House know by the record
that Major Calkins is too busy aud too
prominent to permit himself to dissipate
much or littlo in any way without its
being known to every member and
every reporter. The friends of Major G. at

Future OF Hard Wheat.

The Chicago Times has very interesting ar
tlcle Oh wheat and its outlook, from which we
take the following: The world is alwavs with-
IN less than one year of starvation, and within
less than two or three years Of being naked.
The surplus wheat which we had on hand tls
year Oh the eve of sending our reapers into the
harvest fields was not sufficient to feed tbe
people OF this country four months, to say
nothing about seed for the next crop, or the
supply of the needs Of St Giles or the Quarter
Latin. years are succeeded by lean years.
1t may be that the opening of new wheat areas.
the concentration Of the surplus of all ths
wheat areas on every point of demand, the
cheapening by inventions of the cost of pro-
ductlon, and-a cause that is not to be slight
ed-the steadying effect Of speculation enlare-
ell by the worldwide facilities offered by tLe
great exchanges-may. all taken together, re-
duce the average quotations of wheat few
cents bushel permanently. The average
quotation in Chicago for twenty-four years has
been In specie ~ cents per busbel. That NAV
have to he reduced to an average of 40 cents
But present values are not normal. They rep
resent the panic Of settlers, real and specua-
tive. The bent bow will surely spring back.
Looking ahead by generations we can see that
with the westward wheat line of this country
pushed up against the sand beaches of the Pa
cific ocean, and with wheat growing soft Oh
the older farms, 1t Is impossible that there
should be ''too much wheat"
