THE probable yield of the wheat
crop has been the subject Of much
newspaper comment. From week to
week estimates have been given. that
of the Agricultural Department for
June estimating it at $4,000 900 less
than last year. Ohio reioices in a
Department Of Agriculture which
telegraphs that the wheat crop is going
to be only 27O,OOOOOO bushels. The
Bureau at Washington estimates it at
36O,OOO,OOO, Mr.. Talmadge, of Milwau-
kee, at 366,OOO,OOO, and the Cincinnati
Price Current at 368,OOO,OOO. But the
Ohio official sends mis- good news to
the National Millers' Association. which
may have flour to sell. The latest
news from spring wheat regions is ex-
ceediDgly favorable, but the partial
failure of winter wheat will sensibly
affect the traffic of a greater number of
railroads and the purchases Of Il great
er number of farmers.

gave much pleasure to the visitors was
an exercise in rote singing. This snr-

OF its novelty, but for the success tbe

represented by the fingers of the left

THERE seems to be real genuine
anti-bribery movement on the Eastern
Shore of M0ryland. In Caroline cOun-
ty, where the movement seems to have
taken the deepest root, call has been
issued for a Mass Convention in the
Court House at Denton, on Tuesday,
July 2lst. The call invites every one
who loves free speech and free bal
lot, and a freely chosen representation
of a free people to be present, and
states that the object of the conven-
ton is to devise ways and means to do
away with bribery hereafter at cleo
tiOns in Caroline county. The follow
ing are among the signers: J. w.
Bryant, Thomas Melvin, J. H. Emer-
son, Uric Townsend, DIR. William H.
Downs, J. E. Hignut, James J. Lednum
and Charles w. Byrne. This action of
our neighbOrs over the line should be
an inspiration to Delaware politicians
to do something to purify the ballot,
and Wilmington, if the united confess
siOns in regard to the corruption there
be anything like correct, should take
the lead. For the extent Of this evil
politicians of both parties are equally
responsible, and the buying of ma
jOrity in a given district is regarded as
a DrODer and legitimate transaction
The eshamelessness with which immense
corruption funds are raised is an evil
dence of the apathy of the public.
Laws without number have been pas
sed providing for the punishment of
bribery at elections, but it has been
found practically impossible to enforce
them, partly because of the difficulty
of proving the crime, but more largely
because each of the great political par
ties Is interested in the maintenance of
the corrupt and damnable practice.
The remedy for the evil does not rest
with the lawmakers, but with the peo-
pie. When they have awak to
the perils and the disgrace which
attach to the habit of giving and tax
ing bribes at elections we may expect a
reform. So long rs the bribe-giver can
hold public Office and the bribe-taker
can associate on terms of equality with
decent men we may expect no change.

THE Liberals of England, says the
New York Tribune, have won another
victory over their opponents, the Con-
servatives, by forcing them to take
office without any pledges that the
Opposition will not attack their mea-
sures. Mr.. Gladstone has promised
that he will use his influence to pre-
vent factious " opposition. This is
no guarantee of an easy path for Lord
Salisbury. What he would call fac
tiOus" Mr.. Gladstone and the other
Liberals might think was perfectly
proper. Probably the Queens anxiety
to see the Conservatives in power has
had as much to do with Lord Sails
bury's agreement to accept Office as this
meaningless promise from Mr. Glad
stone.

About l5 feet of wire weigh a pound

The great and about the only obiec-

The cholera scare in Spain, as per
the dispatches from there this week.
shows it to be panic of the widest
order. The towns are almost empty.
so great is the exodus to the country.
While the authorities are carrying on
the disinfecting process of sulphur bon
fires and using picnic acid in the
houses, they are attacked by mobs of
the lower classes who oppose all pre-
cautionary measures, and rely solely
on prayers to keep off the dreaded
scOurge.
The cholera has good material to
work on in Spain. Ignorance and pre-
judice are the best allies an epidemic
can have, and these favoring condi-
tiOns cover Spaniards of all ranks as
with a mantle.
The difficulties Of the situation in
Madrid are aggravated by the attitude
of the upper classes, who are bent on
shutting their eyes to the fact that
cholera is in the city. The opposition
in the Courts has severely rebuked the
Government for telling the truth about
the matter, and the principal club of
Madrid has resolved to drape its club
house in mourning to show its disap-
proval of the powers that are trying to
iniure the commerce of the capitaln
by giving the people of the capital a
chance TO save their lives.
In the spirit that the Spanish people
are showing in this time of danger
there is peril for others beside Them.
selves. II they cannot control the dis
ease in their own country, it is not TO
be expected that they will present anv
but the most triAing obstacles to its
passage beyond the Spanish bounda-
rles. AT this junctuFe it looks as if the
United States would import its cholera
from Spain.
