The wheat Crop Of the World.

The Department of Agriculture estimates
the total product of wheat throughout the
world in 1885 a: 2, TO- 00o, 900 bushels, and the
total consumption 2,l65, 600, 900 bushels, SO
that there would be deficiency Of $1,000, 900
bushels. The effect of this deficiency would
have been to steady the price Of grain, but for
the fact that there was a surplus remaining
over from The year before of 25 900 900 bushels,
so that there remains, after supplying the de-
Gcsacy of 1885, an excess above all demands
Of 10, 900, 600 bushels. The department esti-
mates that the wheat in the United States OH
May lst was lo4, 600, 900 bushels against 1884,
OG0, 600 bushels in 1885; that the crop of the
United States promises fully 100 900, coo bush
els more than the harvest OF 1885. The esti.
mated acreage Of winter wheat now growing is
24,722.Os7, spring wheat ll,sOO,0IO total

The Blackberry Season.
The season for black berries is a, its height,

fruit 1t sometimes seems strange that there
should be such an immense demand for pro-
duct that was oBce allowed to 70 to waste. In
the cities now it finds its way upon every body 5
table, and the rich and poor alike welcome its
coming. 1t is perhaps the most popular of ali
the small fruits, for ii is not only wholesome
but il is said to possess medicinal properties
that are beneficial dcring tho hot summer
weather. The local supply here is abundant

Town Fathers Alive.

lOWu othcFS AtlSSs
The beard of town commissioners Of Port
Tobacco held 4 meeting on Wednesday last
and effected reorganization by the election oi
Geo. A. Wade, president S. { Padgett, secre-
tary and Thomas T. Owen, treasurer. The
rate of taxation on town property for the en-
suing year was 61ed at 10 cents on the Sl00
and with the funds raised from this tax our
town fathers propose to take every necessary
sanitary precautisn locking TO cleanliness OF
the tswn and the health of its citizens. Wash
Burch was reappOintsd bailif and collector and
he was instructed to enforce the payment OF
the tax in all cases Heretofore persons have
been careless and indifferent about the pay
ment of this tax. but as the present board are
now thoroughly aroused as to the necessity OF
cleanly condition Of affairs the payment will
be enforced by law if necessary. A committee
on public improvement consisting of Thos. I.
Owen. John H. jenkins, C. E. " ads and II. H
Boswell were appointed, whose duty it will be
to see that all work necessary TO be done is
performed. We are glad 10 see this spirit Of
Improvement in our city council and We trust
that the energy and interest they have thus far
DISPLAYED will not abats until our town has be-
come a pleasure to its inhabitants and slightly
to visitors.

The Boards In Session.

The boards Of county and school commits
sioRers meet on Tuesday pursuant to adjourn
meat The business of the former board was
chiefly in receiving and passing on the super
vsors reports for the mouth ending July 9th
The reports Of all the supervisors were received
and the amounts passed upon were paid. These
reports were all for amounts OF less than 5000,
and shows that the supervisors are still acting
economically in the matter of road repairs
There was but little other business before the
board during the day and an early adjourn
meut was made. The beard adjourned to
meet On Tuesday, August 18th, to receive
supervisors reports and attend to general
business.
The school commissioners were busy receiv-
ing and e1aming the reports Of teachers for the
quarter ending July lst, and but little other
business was considered by them. A agent
representing the Publishing house OF John
Murphy Co., Baltimore. was before the board
endea voring to indacs them 10 adopt for the
public schools new course of text books issued
by that house, but was unsuccessful in his sf-
forts We think the board acted wisely in de-
terminias not to change the books, As there is
but little that will retard student more than
4 continual change OF text books, and those
now in use in the schools were adopted a little
over q year ago.

LUDWIG,S Suicide.

Because King LUDWIG of Bavaria walked
down to the lake and committed suicide by
drowning, the world says he was insane.
Yet it was perhaps the most sensible act of
his life. There are very few kings nova
days who have good sense. In their desire
to maintain the purity Of royal blood. the
royal families of Europe have intermarried
so much that, in consequence of great
natural law, they have become race of
Idiots. 1t is exceptional to find member
Of royal family with the common spright-
illness and intelligence of the average Euro
pean peasant And the remarkable part of
1t is that the cultured nations of Europe
have SO long consented to be governed by
the idiotic inhertors of royal
name. Light is beginning to dawn
hpon the better classes of the Euro
pean people. France has dethroned her
tmperOrs. A powerful conspiracy exists
I'm Russia to break the thraldom of despotic
power. England, too, is beginning to sigh
for more liberty. and under the inspired
leadership of the great GLADSTONE the
time is not far distant when British
democracy will be established on the ruins
OF rotten throne. With France and Rus
STA and England stripped of the insignia of
imperialism it will be but short time
until the hollow mockerY of royal govern
ment will disappear from the face of
Europe. And then the remnant array of
idiotic fossils who now pretend to shield
themselves under some sort of divine
right which they claim is bestowed upon
kings will be marching down 10 the lake
side, as King LUDWIG did, to rid the
world of their presence. And as in his case
it will be the best evidence of their sanity.

ONE GIRLS coon SENSE

There seems to be a growing feeling
among that portion of fashionable society
which ''dearly loves lord' and delights in
initiating his various ways, snobbish and
otherwise, that perhaps after all when an
American girl marrieS one of them she is
comforting upon him quite as much honor
as he IS upon her. In fact, healthy sus-
piciOn is beginning to awaken in the breasts
of the quondom anglo manacs that the
American girl is far better off when she
chooses a partner Of her joys and sorrows
from the young men of her native land 1t
is healthy impression and should become
widespread. The latest instance of recur-
ring sanity is in the case of
Miss GRANT, who has just broken her en-
gagement with Earl CAIRNS, better known
as the malOdorouS Lord GARMoYLE from
on q breach of promise suit. 1t seems his
noble lordship expected the young woman's
fortune to be devoted to paying his creditors,
while his fance had entirely different views
concerning it. Miss GRANT was under the
impression that an American girl was quite
sufficient fortune with which to endow any
man, lord or peasant. The earl still main
stantial nature. Hence the breach. Miss
GRANT has made lucky escape in dis
covering before marriage the true character
of her pretended lover. 1t is to be hoped
that her experience will be of value to
other girls possessing more ambition than
common sense

CARTER HARR1soN,s PICNIC. n

CARTER HARRISON, the sensational
mayor of Chicago, grows Older every year,
but it cannot be said that he grows wiser.
On the contrary he seems to be sinking
into semle condition that is altogether
out of place in the chief executive officer of
a large city. For some reason or other
there has not been good feeling existing
between the mayor and the newspapers of
Chicago. HARRISON is the kind of a man
that makes good meat for newspaper
photographers. He is always flying off the
handle when there is the least occasion for
it, and is constantly breaking into some
body's china shop and smashing crockery
in genuine bovine style when there is no
provocation for it. That kind of man
is bound to get his name into the papers at
every whip stitch. And as long as a little
tlattery or fulsome compliment is attached
to it there is no man fonder of having
his name mentioned in the news
papers than Mayor HARRISON. But
the Chicago papers have saucy and some
times impudent way of handling a mans
name that is not gratifying to his egotism.
Recently the city papers have been having
some very ugly talk about the way the city
council Sided into certain street railway
enterprise. In connection with this gossip
Mayor HARRISoN'S name has been men
toned in way that is not complimentary.
The mayor, indignant that his great
name should have been used in
vain by the profane Philistine press of that
city, has declared general boycott against
the whole newspaper fraternity. He has
issued orders to the chief of police and the
heads of all the departments not to give out
news of any description to the press report
ers. Mr.. HARRISON imagines that he is
avenged on the impudent newspaper. Poor
man, how little does he know of Journals
tic work. 1t seems never to have occurred
to him that the police get their news from
the newspapers and that the newspapers
are in no wise dependent on the local de-
active newspaper reporter can discount the
whole municipal force Of Chicago in col
Letting news. The Chicago newspapers
are entirely independent of the mayor and
his force. or if they are not, they ought to
close up office and go into bankruptcy. 1t
is possible that Mr. HARRISON will live
long enough to regret his folly. The news
papers will go right along publishing the
news every day. with all the probabilities
that Mayor HARRISON will read more
about himself in the future than he has in
the past.

THE REJUvENArED PRESIDENT.

ItE 1SfJ u Y EN- A led PRESIDENT.
1t is given out that the presidents mar
rage was part of a political scheme. EX
actly what political advantage was to be
gained by the contamination of the happy
event is hard to tell. But it is certain that
it has improved the presidents disposition
and has made him more affabIe in his man
ners. 1t is said that the haggard, careworn
expression which had settled on his face
has all disappeared, and that he now wears
cherubic smile. He seems to be in love
with the whole world. When an office seeker
approaches his eXcellency nowadays, the
old time fear and trembling hestancy of
manner is dropped, and the applicant for
official station is made to feel right at
home. He gets cordial shake of the hand
handed a twO-for- a-quarter cigar. with the
request that he be seated and make himself
comfortable while Col. LAMONT is looking
over the Endorsements. If the applicant
doesn't get the Office he is after, he goes
away reconciled, because he feels assured
that it is not the fault of our jolly fat
president that he didn't get it, The presi-
dent has not only grown good natured since
his marriage, but it is also asserted that he
has an elasticity to his step that has never
been observed before. He is as chirp as
fhree-months-old hooking bird in haw-
thorne bush. These are all evidences that
the president is happy in his new relation.
as they are delightful tribute to the good
graces of the charming young woman who
has converted him. There is no telling
what an influence for good one true woman
can exert.

THE RATE wAR.

st. Paui's Summer Resorts May BE
Seen by Chicagoans For SO.
Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, June 14.-Gradually the pas
senger rates on the Western lines ara
crawling down to the minimum, each day
being signalized by the looping off of more
or less of the slight margin left. To-day
the Rock Island opened the ball with So
first-class limited rate to st, Paul and Min
neapols. This was followed by the St.
Paul officers putting into effect the same
rate, not only between Chicago
and ST. Paul, but also to and
from Council Bluffs, and all of the
junction points in Iowa, MINNESOTA,
and Dakota. This is all done by the rebate
system, the rebates being made of sufficient
amount to make the net fare So to all of
the points affected. In this way the roads
i'll the fight are enabled to protect their nom
competitive local traffic to large extent.
A rumor comes all the way from New Y ork
that the presidents and general managers
had got together here to endeayor to fix
things up, but this was mistake, as no
move has been made, as far as could be
learned, toward a meeting, and as
President Cable of the Reck Island
is in New York, no steps in that
direction could have been taken. The
passenger rate war is so small part of the
many threatening disturbances in railroad
affairs i'll the West, although important
enough in itself. that it is hardly likely the
managers will meet until they get ready to
consider the situation in its entirety
On Sunday, June 30, the Chicago, Mil
waukee u st. Paul railway will shorten the
time of its night train to Chicago one hour,
leaving Minneapolis at 9:1O p. IN. and st.
Paul at $3.50 p. M. instead of $40 and $50
as now, and will reach Chicago at the same
hour as present schedule, thus giving Min

more more at home before their departure,

NO TARIFF REFORM.

Congress makes slow Roadway in reform
ing the tariff-so slow in fact that it suggests
the retrograde movement of the snail. In
fact it may be set down as an absolute GER
tainty that there Will be no tariff legislation
during the present session. And yet both
political parties pledged in their platform
that the tariff should be reformed. The
disposition manifested by the Repub-
lican members of congress to dis
regard the promise their party made
ito correct the irregularities of the
tariff" only goes to show what little
faith is to be put in the promises of political
platforms. In this instance of the Repub-
lican pledge to reform the tariff, it was
only the case of the devils desire to be a
saint while he was sick. The Republican
party was very sick when it made this
promise, and no doubt had some idea of
mending its morals. But when the fever
passed off, so did the desire for reforma-
ton. The Republican party is still the
same fragrant sinner it was in the days of
its former healthfulness. The only way to
secure tariff reform is to make the Republi-
can party so sick that it will die.

HEAT AND HEALTH.

Fervid summer is here, and no mistake
about 1T. And it has come to stay awhile.
This reminds us that it is the season when
unusual precautions should be taken to
keep the city in a good sanitary condition.
The hot season is the season of spoiled
meat and decayed vegetables. 1t is the
season when little negligence on the part
OF the housekeeper in seeing that the gar
bage is promptly removed results in dam
age to the public health. 1t is the
season when every family should be
supplied with the regulat ton garbage barrel
into which the offal of the kitchen should
be deposited. It's the season when the
odorless company who has contracts for
hauling away the garbage should be exceed
ingly prompt in performing that duty. 1t
is the season when the health department
should be on the alert to see that all the
health ordinances are strictly enforced. We
do not mean to say that the health officers
are not vigilant. We merely wish to re-
mind them that fervid summer is here in
earnest.
