WHEAT CROP OF 1888.

The latest report sent out from Wash
ington concerning the wheat crop of
this year shows the general average for
winter wheat is about 10 bushels per
acre, and for spring wheat slightly over
10 bushels. The former has yielded bet
ter than the early expectations, the latter
much worse. This is of course III meas
ured bushels. The quality is much be-
low the average, which will still further
reduce the supply, as will be shown
more exactly hereafter from testimony
of inspection and millerS' weights.
The winter wheat averages of states of
considerable production are: New York,
al; Pennsylvania, 1877; Maryland, IA. 5;
Virginia, 81; Texas, 11.2; Tennessee.
90; kentucky, liz; Ohio, 11.2: Michi-
gan, 14.5; Indiana, lib; Illinois, ID,
Missouri, 1919; Kansas, Ill; California,
1877; Oregon, 1853.
The spring wheat averages are: Wis
consin. lis; Minnesota, 81; Iowa, TO- 3;
Nebraska, 1913; Colorado, 17.5; Dakota,
90; Montana, 16.5; Washington, 1873;
Utah, 1862. The spring wheat Of the
New England states ranges from IA to 1G
bushels.
In northern New England some wheat
sprouted in the shock. Yield and
quality were quite variable in New
York, some fields producing 30 bushels
per acre and others very light yields,
Some grain that lacked plumpness is
reported as making very good flour.
Many fields in Chester, Pa, are esti-
mated at 80 bushels per acre. Some of
the best yields in Washington, Md, are
claimed to average 36 bushels. Some on
the eastern shore" are counted at Is to
90 bushels. Throughout the middle belt
of states, however, there was much low
production and often reduced quality, a
difference due to careless methods too
common IN American agriculture as yet.
The best results show that our low
averages of yield are unnecessary.
In the south there has been injury
from sprouting of the grain between
harvesting and thrashing. The early
season was entirely too wet for the best
results. There is some mention of in
jury by the Hessian fly. While 8 to s
bushels per acre were the yields gener-
Ally made, there were cases of 10 10 %
bushels. showing what Is possible under
good culture and favorable conditions.

A Palace of Salt.

Virginia City. New. Enterprise.
The people of Salt Lake City are con-
templating the erection of ''salt pal
ace." 1t would be structure that would
lay in the shade all the ice and corn pal
aces ever constructed. The main part
of the structure could be of the finest
specimens of rock salt to be found in the
quarries, chiseIed, carved and artistically
arranged. while the interior fittings
should be of crystalized work from the
lake ON grand scale. Such palace
would be permanent if properly pro-
tected from the winter rains; it could be
made of the most unique and striking
style of architecture; it could be made
one of the wonders of the world. When
lighted by electricity the structure would
have all the sparkle and diamond gilt
ter of the great ice palaces, and with the
difference in the salt palaces favor that
heat would not melt or dim its glories in
the least.

For such a presidential election as that
of 1898. with its fair and open struggle
between two natural opposed political
principles. and its consequent influence
as a political educator for the American
people, there need be nothing but con-
gratulations for the country, let its re-
suit be what it may. There have been
elections over which no such congratu-
lations could be uttered-elections in
which the cost was as great and the edu-
cational results nothing or next TO moth
ing; but no such criticism can be aimed
at the election of this year. There are
very few voters in this country who have
not at this time far larger and more
distinct knowledge of the economic
principles which underlie their political
beliefs than they had six months ago;
and, whatever may be the party results
of the election, this educational result is.
after all, the fundamental reason for the
existence of the presidential election
itself. And as we see this result contin-
nally coming into greater prominence,
we may congratulate ourselves more
heartily on the wisdom which gave us
such an educational force, and on its
new proof that true republicanism-
democracy if you please-is not the rule
of ignorance, but 4 system Of self-educa-
ton.

Concerning the result of the election

Concerning the result of the election
the N. Y. Evening Post says:
"Our readers are aware that we have
not INDUCED the spirit of prophecy regard
ing the result of the pending presidential
election. We do not intend to depart from
the line of safety now, but we feel justi-
fed in saying that the situation, to our
view, has very hopeful look. So far as
we can penetrate the fog which surrounds
the battle, the prospects Of the election Of
Cleveland and Thurman have been i'm
proved during the last thirty days"
There are SO many complications and
possibilities in the case that it is perhaps
not wise to attempt any definite proph-
ecy. There seems to be little doubt that
Indiana and New Jersey will give their
electoral votes to Harrison, but that will
make no difference if the Republicans
can carry New York and all the western
states. With fine weather the Republi-
cans are reasonably certain of a sweep
ing victory, with the chances that they
will carry every northern state and
break the solid south.

A Sensible Woman.

By all odds the wisest and wittiest
speech made at the national convention
of the Woman's Christian Temperance
Unson in New York last week was that
of Mrs. Ewing, who disputed Mr.. VIII
liam Blakie's conclusion as to the best
form of exercise for women. Instead of
the gymnasium training prescribed by
Mr.. Blake, Mrs. Ewing declared house
work to be the best exercise that women
could possibly get. She claimed the
affinity between badly baked bread and
sour mash whisky was wonderfully
close and that the hand of the poor
cook paved the road to the saloons.
Mrs. Ewing closed her able address by
telling the story OF the husband whose
wife was more devoted to fancy work
than to the kitchen, and who remarked:
''My darling, what beautiful dinners we
would have if they could only be crot-
chetedv'

RANDALL ON tbs MILLS BILL.

Here is Hon. Samuel j. Randall's opin-
ion of the Mills bill: Much has been
said about removing taxes upon neces-
saries and imposing them upon luxuries.
What does this (Mills) bill propose to do
in that direction? Its gives free olive
oil to the epicure, and taxes castor oil 81
per cent; its gives free tin plate to the
Standard Oil Company and to the great
meat canning monopolies, and imposes a
duty of 100 per cent on rice; it gives the
sugar trust free bone black, and proposes
prohibitory duties on grocery grades of
sugar; 1t gives free lcorice to the to-
bacco manufacturer, while retaining
prohibitive duties on manufactured to-
bacco; it imposes duty of 40 per cent
on the poor mans blanket" and only
80 per cent on the Administer carpet of
the rich. 1t admits free of duty the fine
animals imported by the gentlemen of
the turf, and makes free the paintings
and statuary of the railway millionaire
and coal baron"

The total cases of yellow fever at
Jacksonville foot up little over ia, 60,
and the deaths less than $50. This pro-
portion shows that yellow fever is by no
means SO fatal a disease as some other
epidemics. Typhoid fever often carries
off much larger proportion of victims,
and diphtheria is, in malignant form,
still more fatal; while ike statistics of
cholera are worst of all, under favoring
circumstance. Every epidemic that WIS.,
its the country demonstrates more clear
ly the fact that mental conditions have
very much to do with the fatality at
tending them. On this point the Globe
Democrat pertinently remarks that if.
now, we could substract the
power of fear, meeting an outbreak
coolly, and could be prepared with the
best known means of counteracting its
spread, there is no doubt the fatality
could be reduced to one-tenth of the
present proportions. 1t is agreed by all
physicians that panic is the fatal ele-
ment in all epidemics, but especially IN
yellow fever, as it causes stampede IN
every direction, while the best and safest
place for almost all is at home. The
southern states should be provided with
boards of health with adequate power,
and composed of men of the highest
skill and knowledge. First of all. yellow
fever should be robbed of its fatal fear
fulness, and confidence shouldtbe created
in the people that the medical authori-
ties can control the foe.
