When the bicycle, now much improved,
first made its appearance, developing The
carly stage Of tho bicycle craze, tho medi;
cal profession uttered some noteso warn
ing. Tho bicycle Of fifteen years ago,
with its saddle thrown forward, requiring
a very laborious sort OF pushing move
mont to work the treadles, was thoughLto
be a very undesirable machine for boys
and young men Physician, suggested
that the machine. il extensively and fro
quently used, might provo a contributing
cause to the degeneracy Of the race. This
professional warning produced something
like n "scare," and the bicycle oil. that day
was laid. aside; business at tho Kinks
languishod and soon died.
The revival OF tina bicycle and its
dash into popularity is owing to the
greater ease with which tho later machine
can DO worked and the belief that tho OBJ
j~ections urged by medical men have been
removed. Ii those objections inlero in
tho machine, and ii tho dangers aro as
great as have been suggested, then there is
Il difficult problem TO deal with for The
pleasing cxhileration oithe sport andthe
fashionable hold it has secured will make
it II difficult thing 10 abolish.
We bclicyo that physicians have notre.
solved that the bicycle "must 3d. nor do
we know that the doctors are agreed that
1t ought to be cast adriit. But now and
then some one, speaking with tho voice OF
authority, raises the danger signal and
submits some striking suggestions. This
time it is Dr.. S. A. Strahan, OF Northamp-
ton, England, writing in the London Ian
ee.. DR.. Strahan raises his voice mainly
against excessive riding, and particularly
against riding over Il rough or hilly road,
though from his description OF the physi.
cial effects We infer that he sees 4 danger
in all bicycling, lie says there is pro-
duced ali irritation and congestion which
is very bad for growing boys particularly.
A free discussion Of this question by
medical men is greatly to be desired. The
bicycle advances in popularity and use.
II this means physical descncracy OF tho
race, that fact ought to be made very clear
10 the public.

WHEAT FIELDS OF TILE WORLD,

WuEATFlELDS OF TILE WORLD.
The United ssatc. Heads til. List with

london GloJs.
In tho information now supplied by the
Agricultural Department Of tho Priyy
Council there is contained for tho first
time IN account Of two on the greatest
wheat growing districts. Russia is now
second on the international roll, and it is,
therefore, q great accession to our knowl-
edge to have n clear statement OF the
acreage cultivated with this crop in Rus.
sin, and a near estimate Of its productive
capabilities. Still more valuable arc the
returns relating to British India, which
sends us SO vastly increasing n proportion
OF our imported wheat. The tables now
Published by authority give with toler-
able accuracythe extent Of land in those
great countries and others which is de-
voted to the growing Of wheat and other
crops. But to tho consumer, or, in other
words, to the general public, it is more in
tcrcsting to know the actual quantity Of
wheat produced in each territory. This
varies much more c%apriciously than any
could suppose who had not before iii the
official figures. In many cases the small
out-turn Of wheat is accounted for by the
fact that rye, oats and barley are more
largely grown by the farmers OF the coun.
try. But, ovcn making allowance for this,
it is difficult 10 explain the extreme differ
cnccs shown between one part OF the
world and another. It will, OF course, be
supposed that the United States now
stands highest on the list. 1t shows, in
fact, a total production for 1883 OF 42l, O0O,-
900 bushels. France has a total produc-
ton, calculated also in millions Of bush
els, Of 2s5, in which is included besides
wheat n small out-turn OF spelt. Next we
have India, with about PA, 100000, grown
upon $4,000, 900 acres. Then, returning
to Europe, Italy, with $50, DOC, 900, Russia
with l01 ,000. 00Oi Germany with about &c.
000, 900, and Hungary with 81, 900, 900.
The next place is taken in Europe by Aus
tria, which in m average year produces
about 100000 bushels. Canada, in an
average year, grows about 3 1000, 900, and
Australasia about 30, 000,0 900 bushels.

At least ono result OF tho recent election
has beon quick to show itselfih we'll

tho world aud notes tho drift OF discus
sion can fail to sec that the cause OF pro-
hibition has suffered a serious reverse.

Ing ambition o'erlcaping itself.
Among tho thousands In every State
who believe that prohibition Of the liquor
traffic ought to be written In the Constitu-
ton Of every State, there were some who
felt that something was to be gained bya
showing Of strength in q presidential con
test. These ms well as others knew thatif
prohibition came It was to come through
the State, not the National, government.
But here VA a great Occasion when par
ties were to muster In full strength on the
National field, and there were prohibi.
t~ionists unwisc enough 10 risk their cause
in that purely political rivalry-setting
themselves up rs u separate and distinct
party, with presidential nominees, coln.
mittces, and all OF tho regulation party
appurtenances. T,
1t was now the Prohibition party, spell.
ing it with u big =. Nobody denies TINT
tho Prohibition party drew its strength
chiefly from the Republican party. The
Democratic campaign managers did not
doubt that this would be SO, or they would
not have taken Mr.. St. John under their
wing and used him to their " party
advantage. Its absolutely true that il
there had been no Prohibition ticket in
tho field the Republican party would not
have suffered defeat. The gain to the
Democratic party 10 obvious. What does
the Prohibition party gain? Republicans
know what their loss is and how it was
visited upon them.
Republicans may feel themselves a lit.
tie better than other people, but they
don't claim 10 be angels. They don't pro-
fess u longing to kiss tho hand that slnites
them. III fact they arc expressing them
selves with much freedom and some bit
terness about the National Prohibition
party. That party having opposed them
in the field Of National politics, they ARE
not strongly disposed TO give it help in
State affairs. This feeling fills the breasts
Of very many Republicans who have here
tofore looked with favor on the prohibi.
ton OF tho liquor traffic, who signed peti,
lions, sought to send to the Legislature
men who would submit tho proposed
amendment, and generally gave to the
movement tho weight OF their moral III
lluencc.
Some OF the best friends OF constitutions
al prohibition think tho cause has been
set back twenty years. Tho clemcn. oil
time need not be critically considered.
The patent fact is that the friends OF pro.
hibition have in that one days work at
tho polls done their causemorc harm than
it, enemies could have done it ina genera
ton. All this was iorescen by many stur'
dy advocates OF the cause, who haverc
refused to have any part in a risk tina,
might provo its utter wreck. The Demo
cratic party has great reason to be thank
full that the counsel Of these cool and levcl
heads did not prevail.

The Next Administration.

The South will be.well represented in
the Cabinet.
A good place for Payne is to remain in
the Senate.
Pendleton may succeed Lowell as Min.
lister to England.
For II position in tho new cabinet it is
said no Ohio man need apply.
Thurman cannot be left out Of the nd.
yisers OF the President, but his position
has not yet been designated.
John Mclean wants no cabinet position,
but asks to be lot alone and given the
privilege to run his paper to suit himself.
Randall may not accept a cabinet posi-.
ton because OF differences of opinion on
tho tariff. But Projectors do not infallibly
predict.
George William Curtis and Carl Schurz,
it is thought, on account of their services,
should have an opportunity to insert their
noses in tho Presidents private carin cabi-
not consultation.
A Vermont paper suggests Bayard for
Secretary Of State, Hewitt iof tho Treasury,
Mcclellan for the Navy, Rcagan rs Post
master General, David A. Wells for tho
Interior, and Senator Garland rs Attorney
General.
Representative Money, instead Of being
at tho head Of the Treasury Department,
us tho solidand sound jingle OF his name
would indicate as being n fit position for
him, will DO made Postmaster General,
where he can sec that soft money is sent
to its destination.
Cabinet.making being in order, ono is
suggested consisting Of Pendleton as Sec.
rotary OF State, Dorsheimer, Secretary OF
tho Treasury; Mcclellan, Secretary OF.
War; Randall, Secretary OF the Navy;
Villas, Secretary OF tho Interior; Jonas,
General, and Mcdonald, At

INCREASE IN SPECULATION.

Tho Number Of brokers That Has Multi.
piled IN u Few rcars.
Nee York Tribune. r5i fH III
"Within n few years the number Of
brokers in this city has increased i'm
mensely," said an old time street. opera
tor a Tribune reporter. There are with.
out the least exaegeration three or four
times as many brokers nov as there were
ten or twelve years ago. There arc about
II, 900 brokers in the city, and they must
average S5,0ooa year each, or they could
not pay clerk hire, Office rent and other
necessary expenses. Hereyou have about
Sj50,000,000 taken from the producing
classes to support these non-producers,
who chiefly net rs middtemcn, for Others
WHO want to gamble. The number OF spec.
%ulators, is multiplying. Twenty years ago
speculation outside OF stocks and gold, was
scanty. Now look at the array Of articles,
such MS cotton, wheat, corn and other
cereal products, lard, pork, baco7, butter,
cheese oil, iron, steel, copper, etc., etc,
that have been added to the list of things
bought and sold on margins. There are
5000 members OF tho Produce Exchange.
II each article sold on that floor was nc.
tually delivered, it would require many
times the amount Of cereals now shipped
to this market. Forty-nine out Of fifty
sales are simply bets. nothing more. The
loser pays the difference in price anddoes
not deliverth goods. l allude to the re.
ported sales only. The unrcported sales
arc no doubt very large. Three hun
bred members could actually do the
legitimate business Of this E~xchange-the
actual buying and selling OF cereals in this
market. Bit business mtist be made for
the extra large number OF members, and
each article Of produce shipped to this
market is bought and sold forty or fifty
timcs-but it is only delivered once. Tho
Petroleum Exchange, finding there is not
enough oil ! n the country, isnow gambling
in railroad shares, perlMpsit will nexttakc
pools in horse races. The lowest limit OF
shares in the pctrolem Exchange has been
reduced to ten, so tina, even tho compare
lively poor can enjoy the luxury OF put
ting up u margin OIL railroad stocks. This
shows .hIt the passion for gambling is in
creasins year by. year.
"Dut the increase OF this large non-pro-
ducing element OF brokers, who merely act
us Stockholders ior those who gamble, adds
nothing to the industry or development OF
tile country. Not one bushel Of grain or
pound OF metal is added TO the
OF the country"
