The above is interesting chiefly for the
statement that VIM. A Wheeler, once
acting vice president, is still among the
living. Is the Journal positive that its
statement is correct? The subject wa:
discussed in the New York Sun SOME
time ago, but no definite conclusion wa:
reached. Oue class of correspondent:
asserted that the man was dead, while the
other side maintained with equal positive
ness that he was still alive. The general
opinion was that he was dead, as no one
was able to tell where his home was, oil
when he had appeared in public within
recent years. However, the matter was
dropped before definite conclusion wa:
reached. most people being apparently
indifferent as to whether he was num-
bered among the living or the dead.
As regards his partner in crime there
is no such doubt. Hayes seizes every
opportunity to drag himself forth for {
moment from the cave of obscurity il
which he has dwelt for many a long year
The last occasion was the death of Han
cock, when he presided over a gathering
which passed resolutions in memory o
the Iamented dead. What a spectacle

SMUrTY wheat is said to be getting a
serious matter with the farmers of the
northwest, as well as the millers and
grain dealers who are obliged to handle
it. The loss resulting from it to the
farmers in the spring wheat region
amounts TO millions of dollars annually.
So far il has been confined mainly TO the
soft varieties Of spring wheat, but it is
now making its appearance in the hard

circular containing prescription for
the prevention of smut which, it is
claimed, will efectually accomplish the
object with very little expense to the in
