The popularity OF Hon. ]. z. Tucker
Of San Juan county, is attested to be in-
vincibIe from the fact that the democrats
have not yet been able to induce any one
of their political faith to accept the nom
inatiou against him for joint representa-
tive in San Juan and Whatcom counties
A gentleman writing from Whatcom to
the editor of this paper, says: 81 have
made careful estimate of this county,
and find that you will carry il by 200
majority" Another, gentleman OF
prominence and reliability in that county,
writes to say that Mr.. Donovan's nomi-
nation Is about the weakest that could
have been made-so far as Whatcom
county is concerned. Another Whatcom
county gentleman writes to SAY that
Judge Warbass OF Roche Harbor will pro-
baby feel very enthusiastic over Mr..
Donovan this year, because the latter
traded votes against him four years ago,
and succeeded in electing DR.. Manly
against the Judge for joint representative,
He also remarks that MIR. Donovan will
be trading votes this year against the
democratic candidate for treasurer of
Whatcom county, in the interest of Mr..
Coupe, the republican candidate, in re-
turn for the iatter's assistance in Island
county. We do not know OF the reliabil-
ity OF all these statements. Probably
some of them are colored more or less by
political bias. But if they are half true
they mean something Mr.. Donovan ad-
mits that he does not know what the is
sues between the political parties are If
he is true to his reputation about trad
ing votes he probably thinks that SO Jar
as the district is concerned the main issue
Will be to get there" by fair means or
foul.

WHY BREAD Is HIGHER.

One week ago Bradstreet's published
the results of telegrapbic investigation
| as to the retail price Of bread q t twenty
one OF the more, important nor thern
cities east of tie Rocky mountains, show
ing that it had been advanced at major
Ity of them, that the weight of loaves
equivalent to an aavance) had been re-
duced at Others, and that the outlook
generally was for an advance Of at least
C. per leaf at most all points, Premon-
tIons of this had been observed early
last week, but our report as to the situa-
ton, dated October 4, constituted the
first comprehensive examination of the
situation made public.
The corner was a scramble between the
/, bears" upon one side and practically
one bull trader upon the other. Each
was striving 10 corner the other. The
bears failed in their calculations, and
paid large sums of money as fine for
their terror 10 iudgmsnt'-to put il
mildly. No court OF Law could have
punished them more surely, more swiftly
or more severely-and collected the
fine. Their operations were not in be-
haIf of the consumptive demand fer
wheat either at home or abroad-al-
though strictly Legitimate" dealings, in
asmuch as they actually sold and bought
the grain.
This wheat "corner" has been account
ed one of the few successful corners at
tempted in this country. This is true
because existing conditions Of (under)
supply rendered the corner possible.
In other words. the statistical position OF
wheat, not only in the United States but
throughout the world, so far IS known,
pointed to slack supplies. Meanwhile,
wheat had advanced nearly Is per cent.
before the fortnights squeeze began;
this on the legitimate basis of apparent
demand and supply throughout the
world. The squeeze is over and wheat
is at least 33 per cent. higher than it was
in July last.
We must conclude, therefore, that the
successful corner, in the absence OF a
commou-sense rule at the Chicago Board
of Trade, was one outcome OF the sta
tistical position Of wheat, not a cause OF
the advance in -four. In any other
event the corner would have failed.
The rapid advance in the price OF
to grade-to but 40 per cent. on the
qualities used In the making of bread
sold TO the larger proportion of the pub
lie, is nearly in proportion to the gaia
shown in wheat. There is a somewhat
larger advance than that on wheat, but
the reason Is clear. In England, where
lies our chief market for large share
Sf cur annual -four expectation, the
price OF home grown wheat has declined,
owing TO poor quality. but -four (from
homegrown wheat) has advanced
about 81 per barrel.
With this situation to back the 3s per
cent higher winter wheat in the United
States, and a greater advance in the
price Of No. hard spring wheat lowing
to decreased production), the 40 per
cent. advance in the price of -four in the
United States ls thoroughly warranted
by apparent international trade condi-
tons s.-BrGdstreet'S

Rev. z. Walsh of Albany writes TO
the EGpress Of that city: "While
am not Republican, will vote for
Harrison Dscause L am Disguised
with Cleyeland's pretentions to be
opposed to monopolies when he Is in
favor of them, as was demonstrated
when he was governor. If he were
in favor of the working classes and
opposed to the few, why did he veto
the Five-cent Fare bill and the Car
Drivers and Conductors bill? The
answer is Iplain: Monopolies owned
him then and they still own him"
The Baltimore Postofice is in
about the same condition as the post
offices III Indianapolis and Philadel-
phia. A clean sweep has been made
of all Republicans. and their places
have been filed by Boss Gorman's
heelers and strikers, some of whom
have difficulty in reading print, not
to speak OF handwriting, and the

moralized. If the Democrats should
