A SLIP OF HISTORY.

The announcement made by a st. Paul
newspaper that Germany had appropriated
Austrian territory as the spoils of war when
Nassau, Frankfort, Hesse-Cassel and Ham
over were annexed to Prussia in 1866, will
be news to the Austrian government. If
the old man FRANCIS JOSEPH had been
aware of this fact while ON late visit to
the venerable WILHELM, there would prob
ably have not been so much kissing in the
meeting of the emperors. Hanover had
been an independent kingdom since 1914.
Hesse- Cassel and Nassau were independent
German states, or duchies, and Frankfort
was one of the four free cities of Germany
up to 1866, when by the treaty Of Prague
they were all annexed to Prussia. In 1866
HeSse-Cassel joined Austria in the war
against Prussia, as there was also a party
in the court of Hanover which was favor
able to Austria. But in no sense were these
states the territory of Austria. They MAIN
tanned their independence until formally all
neXed TO Prussia.

SOMEBODY TOLD 1T.

. The New York Tribune is positive that
there has been some pretty tall lying about
the wheat crop for this year, and without
being specific it intimates strongly enough
that the lying has been done in the interest
of spectators. 1t says that in spite of all
the efforts to hoist up the price of wheat
the price obstinately refuses to rise. The
spectators who bought up large quantities
months ago. when there were reports that
winter wheat had been seriously damaged.
are suspected of originating the falsehoods
which are circulated in regard to the crop.
The Tribune says the farmers have any
quantity to sell, and they sell freely when
ever any spectators are foolish enough to
buy. The mistake which the speculative
world made at the outset was in accepting
speculative falsehoods, and discrediting
truthful statements in regard to the
quantity of wheat remaining from last year.
The Tribune says: 1.-The result has been an
eruption of false reports regarding the in
jury TO the crops, which have been more
numerous, and more persistent, and alto
gether more Indifferent to known facts,
within the past three months than ever be-
fore. Mr.. TALMADGE, the statistician of
Milwaukee, who is employed by the specu-
lators of that city TO send out reports from
time to time as secretary of the board of
trade, issues long bulletin in which he de-
clares that the statistics gathered by the
United States department Of agriculture are
both false and full of blunders, and that they
represent the yield Of wheat to be nearly
40, 600, 900 bushels larger than It actually is
This difference of opinion, particularly as
to some of the states, is much too
great to be attributed to accident or honest
mistakes in Judgment or information. The
plain truth about it is that either the agri-
cultural department is living. or Mr.. TAI

HE DOESN'T GET 1T.

The supreme court of Pennsylvania has
recently rendered decision which is likely
TO be laid away and preserved by married
men as a gem of judicial wisdom. The de-
cisiOn of the court is to the effect that
man is not legally liable to support his
mother-in-law. because. as it says, there is
no consanguinity between them. The case
in which the decision was rendered arose
from an effort made by son-m-law TO re-
cover an interest in the life insurance of his
wife's mother. The court held that the
son-in-law had no insurable interest in the
life of the mother-in-law because neither
can inherit from the other. In the Ian
guage of the court, 1.-THE mere fact that he
married her daughter gives him no such pc
cuniary interest in the preservation of her
life as to permit him to effect valid insur-
ance thereon for his benefit" The court
also hints that such policy would be
against public morals, and so far as the
son-in-law is concerned it was denOminated
"a purely gambling act"

Is n Short Wheat Crop N Blessing or
CurSel
Ap,ari.ap Affllar


We look upon the short wheat crop Of
1855 in some sense as blessing. We could
almost wish it were a calamity-to the
farmer. And for this reason: A few repe-
titions Of this experience might teach him
TO put his fertile fields into something else
besides wheat. What this country needs is
a more diversified agriculture. That means
more corn. rye. oats; more cattle, hogs,
sheep, poultry, in a word more meat, more
vegetables, more tobacco, more fibrous
plants-and less of wheat and cotton. Agri-
culture is not changing with the changes
going on in every other direction Of the
worlds progress. And we regret to say
millers do not rotate as much as they might
with profit to themselves, either. We need
more diversified milling; more, and better
corn milling, rye milling, cat milling that
the taste of the people may be educated TO
the value Of such food products. And here
is another consideration, viewing the hope
of such things, in this light: We cannot
expect in the future TO get rid Of as much
wheat and wheat -four through an export
demand. Hence a gradual contraction in
the margins on wheat raising and wheat
milling. So it were wen TO look after the
rotation" in agriculture and milling as
soon as possible. It's hardly fair thing in
a land like this that bread should be so
cheap and meat so dear.

MADGE and his associates are lying. It is
fortunate for the country, perhaps, that the
issue has been made so distinctly, since one
or the other of those sources of information
will hereafter be irretrievably discredited.
If the result proves that Mr.. TALMADeE
has no truth on his side, only the cheapest
and shallowest of the spectators will here
after take the trouble to read or be foolish
enough to believe reports which come from
him. If, on the other hand, the statements
hitherto issued By the department of agri-
culture prove to be in error to the extent of
40, ZOO, 900 bushels, or anything like it, there
will be little objection to the movement
which is likely TO be made for a
change in that department. Thus far
there has been no reason TO be-
lieve that the reports of the department
were Intentionally misleading or false. All
the circumstances have pointed to the con-
cluSion that the agents of spectators. who
had known interest in misrepreSenting
facts, have been less truthful than the
agents of the government"

but finally he succeeded in getting the child
from under the rubbish. He laid it on the
grass outside, as he then supposed. dead.
lie next went 10 the room occupied by the
hired man and found him unconscious,
with the clothing OF his bed on fire. Mr..
Clement extinguiShed the fire and pulled
the man through the window, and laid him
on the grass by
THE SIDE OF THE CHILD.
In returning to the room where his wife
lay he fell into the cellar through a hole in
the noor made by the current. rendering him
almost helpless. After he found he could
do nothing 10 get his wife out of the build

Greenbacl1ers into the fusion it would look
like ingratitude for the Democrats to kick
him out. 1t is pretty well understood that
the administration is reconciled to the pro-
posed fusion, and as an evidence of it Gen.
WEAVER has been permitted to have his
own way in the matter of appointments in
his own district. But independent of these
considerations there are reasons why all the
opponents of the present state administra-
ton should stand together and secure the
overthrow of the party in power. Iowa is
logically Democratic state. and the friends
of Democracy should not suffer factional
divisions to come in the way of Democratic
success.
