the risk of conflict that we would prefer to
avoid. We can not but regard the sugges-
tions here noted as leading at least to an
easy and practicable solution of our present
difficulties. In fact as plan of action, it Is
the easiest and most practicable of any we
have yet seen submitted, and the present
Congress and administration can not do bet
ter than to act upon it, as it would avoid
both internal dissensions and commercial
gangrene. Wherever it might ultimately
carry US is not to be foreseen, and therefore
need not be a matter of concern.

A.CHANCF FOR wHEAT.

Wheat is going to go up. The result of
the calculations from the Bureau of Statis-
tics shows that but So 100000 of bushels
were produced last season. This is almost
exactly equal to home requirements. With
the normal consumption on a basis of CO.,
100000 of population, it equals 270, ,000, 900;
for seed, 59,000,0 900, and for general pur-
poses, 10000, 900. At the rate of export that
has obtained since September 1 our export
would amount to 81 600 900, which would
require 50 000,0 900 more than we produced.
We carried ever from previous years nearly
100,000,0O0 of bushels, and should carry
over into next year not less that 10000 900,
which would leave the extremely narrow
margin of only II, 100000 of bushels to trade
on over the 81, ,OO0, 900 above quoted as for
export. But although our exports of wheat
are largely fallen off and falling our export
of flour is large and increasing. Our exports
OF flour for the year ended July /, 1885,
were lO,6O3, 600 barrels, equivalent in round
numbers to As, ,OOo,O 900 of bushels of wheat.
Applying the same export to the present
year, it would make the total export of
wheat equal to $4,000, 600 bushels, which
would absorb the entire 10OOOO,OO0 carried
over ana 10000 600 besides. Making due al
lowance for chance conditions and probable
errors, there is not sufficient wheat in the
country to rieet ordinary requirements,
without leaving a bushel to be carried over.
This must become apparent early i'll the year
and wheat will move upward rapidly as the
stock is exhausted by the opening of naviga-
ton. In fact, il we did not export another
bushel in the form of wheat, there would
only be sufficient for safety. 1t happens that
the demand abroad is so slack, and likely to
remain so, and the coming crop is so promis-
ing, that 1t will serve as a material check
upon fancy or purely speculative prices,
which would certainly become current if the
demand from any foreign source were to be-
come strong.

Arrested for Criminal Libel.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Jan. 4.-German cir
cles here are considerably exercised over the
arrest of A. Schoenleiber, a prominent furni-
ture dealer, Oh the charge of criminal libel.
The arrest was caused by Christian Ritter, a
rival furniture dealer, who alleged that
Schoenleiber circulated postal cards on which
was written charges that. Ritter was muir
derer and a. thief 1t is a fact that Ritter
killed man in self-defelse at a Milwaukee
garden about fifteen years ago but was ex-
onerated by the jury He objects, however,
to Schoenleiber publicly characterizing him
as a murderer and thief, and sues for $4,000
damages. Schoenleiber was arrested Sunday
and released soon after on $1,000 bail. 1t is
said that two more suits for the same amount
will be filed against Schoenleiber to-day by
another rival in business, who alleges that
Schoenleiber has written offensive letters
about him. The communications are all
anonymous but it is alleged that the author
ship has been established.

After hard words had passed between them,
the father picked up hatchet and hurled it
at the boy. The latter lodged and the
weapon struck Terwelps daughter on the
head. 1t glanced of, inflicting only a slight
wound. The father seemed hOrrlfed al the
narrow escape he had from becoming his
daughters murderer. He went into back
room, and taking a razor from drawer
drew it across his throat. The result was a
wound two inches in length. The family
heard Terwell fall, and forcing the door saw
him lying in a pool OF blood. A doctor was
summoned, and arrived in time TO stop the
flowing blood and sewed up the wound. The
doctor says he will recover. Terwel was
removed to the County Hospital. He is

secluded spot near the river, and a search

bloody garments and several articles of fe-

found were an ice-hook such as experts de-

Mrs Ramey and her daughter, several
months ago. A prayer book, with the name

upon the latter husband. The wounds in

While the Postmaster General is fattering
himself that under his administration the
mails, out in this Western country, are be-
ing properly worked and despatched, he is
permitting himself to rest under an halluci-
nation. For weeks we are told that the mails
have been arriving and departing from this
city not properly distributed and "un-
worked" and the same has been going into
st. Louis Mo, trip after trip. in the same
condition. The fault lies in the incOmpe-
tency of the present Superintendent. With
n greater increased force he is unable to even
accomplish the results of his predecessor.
The fact is he does not seem to have the abil-
ity to distribute or assign men where the
best results can be obtained for the Govern
ment, and mismanagement is simply the re-
suit although reports on paper can be SO
made as to make a good showing at the De-
partment contrary to the true state Of affairs
as they actually exist. We are informed
that on mail route, not 100 miles from
this city, the mail for over twenty offices is
delayed over twelve business hours every
day. With little interest and effort this
mail could be delivered before a. M, and
yet il is not delivered until after 6 p. M.

OBITUARY.
HON. JAMES ELDER.

tpNs JAMES ELDER.
Hon. James Elder, Postmaster OF Rich
mond, died very suddenly yesterday. This
information will be a great surprise TO Mr..
Elders many friends OF this city, as he was
here only few days ago and apparently in
the enjoyment Of most perfect health
Mr.. Elder has been. until recently, Sheriff
OF the Supreme Court of the State. but few
weeks since he received the appointment of
Postmaster of Richmond. Mr.. Elder was
born in Franklin County, Pennsylvania,
May 26, 1918. His boyhoOd was character
lied by a fondness for useful reading. and he
early conceived the idea of becoming print
er. At the age of sixteen he was apprenticed
to the printing trade in the office at the
Franklin Repository. Chambersburg Pa In
1889 he came West, 10 Rich
mond, Ird., where he haS ever
since remained. In December 1S45
Mr.. Elder was appointed Postmaster" "f Rich
mOnd by President Polk, which position he
held until 1910. During that year he was
elected member of the Legislature as a
Democrat. although Wayne County was
decided Wing county, as il now is heavily
Republican. During the session Of the Legis-
lature he served as n member OF the Ways
and Means Committee and Chairman of the
committee on BeneNOlenL INSTITUTIONS. In
the spring OF 1916 he engaged in the book
business continuing II until 1916 In 1853
President Pierce appointed him Postmaster
again, and he held the position until Lin
coin became President. Mr.. Elder has been
elected Councilman several times, and fire.
quently represented his District in the Ma
uOnal Conventions of the Democratic party

THE OLD TICKET.

There seems to be some indulgence in spec
ulation as to whether or not the next Repub-
lican National Convention will renominate
the old ticket, composed OF Blaine and Lo-
gan. Unless Mr.. Blaine emphatically re-
fuses to be a candidate, there will no doubt
be q very strong effort made for his renOmi-
tion. If General Logan makes no retraction
OF recent declarations, it is hard to see how
he can be included in this effort. When
rendered the Presidency of the Senate he
positively declined it on the express
ground of personal dislike for its du-
ties As President of the Senate he would
have been ex officio Vice President
of the United States, and his duties would
have comprised only those of Vice Presi-
dent. Hence it was exclusively the duties
of Vice President to which he expressed
repugnance so strong as to impell him to re-
ject the office, with all its high honors and
rich emoluments. If he refused the Vice
Presidency when rendered to him without
effort or request on his part, how can
he consistently make a contest for it
in 1888 by means involving in
finite labor, expense and hazard?
Besides, how can his party tender it to him
again without either truculency on its own
part or open contempt for his wishes? 1t
seems to us that General Logan has effectu-
ally excluded himself from the list of Vice
Presidential candidates in 1888. We regard
the old ticket as out of the question. Logan
will undoubtedly be candidate for Presi
ident, not for Vice President, and he will
probably be found exceedingly hard to beat
in the Convention for the first place.

THERE comes a strange story from Munich.
The creditors of the half-witted King Lud-
wig have got tired of dunning him for no
good, and have threatened TO put bailiffs in
his palaces and execute the royal furniture.
This is amazing, this subjecting a King to the
indignities of levy and sale like common
"butcher or baker or candlestick maker"
The Kings relatives seem to think there is
something in it, though, for they have gath
cred together to do something to prevent the
royal ass from doing himself further mis-
chief and swindling more people.
