THE BIG FARMS.

There are a few enormous wheat
farms in North Dakota, but they are
not equal to some further north. The
Bell farm, 314 miles northwest of VIM
nipeg, covers 100 square miles. or g., 900
acres. 1t is very largely in cultivation,
fenced with wire, and the pillow burrows
often run four miles. Another one in
that section comprises 110,000 acres.
Wheat is grown there as in Dakota.
To successfully operate such farm re-
quires as much genius as it does to COM
mand an army. There is much the
same sort of system. They are not as
damaging to country as armies, but
are far from desirable in any country.
They do not cultivate the ground as
well as with small farms. and contrib
ute little to the prosperity OF the COM
munity. and are to be deprecated.
They do not properly belong to this age.

A SICK PRINCE.

The intimations that the Prince Of
Wales is afflicted with Bright's disease,
and will hardly live year, have so
many confrmatory details that it is
probable they are well based. The
queen is in good health, and likely to
Outlive her son. The prince has made
himself so useful of late years as to ac-
quire very great popularity, and it will
be a matter of very serious regret to the
nation if he is not spared to ascend the
throne. He has toned down as he adj
vanced in years, and his demeanOr has
been creditabIe to his station. He has
become hard worker in the sphere he
fills, and has made cOpiOus drafts upon
the vital forces. That exhaustion en-
sues Is not strange. The young man
ALBERT VICTOR, next in succession, Is
unmarried and very commonplace in
diVidual. He is not credited with strong
points of any kind.

DRYNEss IN SOUTH DAKOTA.

Il
There is no disposition apparent in
South Dakota TO throw any obstacles in
he way of the most speedy application
of the prohibitory scheme that seems to
be demanded by the majority. There
is no legal obstacle in the North. The
popular decision is emphatic and indis-
putable. The people of that state want
the machinery of the law and courts
put in operation to protect themselves
from any weak yielding to a perverse
and vicious appetite. About two-thirds
of the voters have voted for the Repub-
lican ticket on platform that had pro-
hibitiou as central plank. 1t has been
stated that about four-ffthS of the liquor
dealers in South Dakota are Republic
cans, and they seem to have
voted the ticket straight. If any
of them voted that way with
the expectation that the Republican
officials would wink and money could be
made in blind pigs or other iilegitimate
devices that save license, they will be
apt to find themselves mistaken. In a
few of the larger towns and a part of
the Black Hills there will. perhaps. be
more or less open disregard OF the law;
but, as a whole, it is believed that in
South Dakota prohibition will come
nearer to effective enforcement than in
any other state in the country. The pro-
hibitiOn element has the dominant party
in its fierce grip, and will exact the most
rigorous legislation to be culled from all
the statute books of prohibitOry states.
The legislature meets in January, and
will evidently make prohibition its first
aim, and put the law on the emergency
list to go into force at once. The SUI
preme court is elected Oh the
same basis, and will he useless
as a resort. Prohibition has come
to stay in South Dakota until after 1t
has been voted out in Iowa and Kansas.
There are few large centerS of pOpuIa-
ton that feel much personal depriva-
ton in the restriction. The two or
three breweries will need to get over
the state line, and will be unwise to ex-
pect any compensation from the state,
even if Gov. MELLETTE is in favor Of
it. If prohibition fails to carry Ne
braska next year, as it probably will,
after long and hot campaign, and the
lines fall in Kansas and Iowa, South
Dakota may revise its present purpose,
but it now thinks it will stand by pro-
hibition until GABRIEL blows his trump.

WOMEN AHEAD THERE.

The constitution the state projectors
in Wyoming have been framing con-
tains a peculiar feature or two that
may not facilitate its entrance upon
statehood. 1t is the only new state that
has ever abolished the distinction of sex
in the voter. This instrument not only
provides for female suffrage. but estab-
fishes a new educational qualification.
The voter must vote in English and
read i'm English, and, if not a ma
tive, must be fully naturalized. This is
marked change from the practice OF
the other new states and some of the
others in the West with a large alien
born element. Women have had the
right to vote in Wyoming in nearly all
its history, and have sat on jurie5 and
held the lower judicial positions. But
an applicant for admission, coming
with this condition, may be discovered
by wary congressman to have INSULT
cient population.

HARD ON SETTLERS.
They May Have to Vacate at Fort
Pierre.

PIERRE, S. D.. Oct. 25.-Intense ex-
element prevails at Fort Pierre, across
the river from this place, caused by the
receipt of private advices from Off
Gals of the interior department stat
ing that the people there have
no recognizable right to the land
whereon they settled and that the
land where the town is situated belongs
to the government and will be opened for
settlement the same as the rest of the
reservation land; provided. however.
that the Northwestern railway does not
accept the mile square on the cOndi-
tons heretofore agreed TO by the COM
pany and the government. The adj
vices also add that the company
is certain to take the land as
it has recently signifed its In
tention of so doing, and that the land it
wants is exactly that on which the Fort
Pierre settlers are located. The infor-
nation clearly states that in either case
the settlers will be compelled to vacate
the reservation entirely and come across
the river after the president issues his
proclamation and before it takes effect,
and the military authorities have been
notified to prepare to compel the set
tiers TO vacate at any time.

STREET CAR RIDING.

In the estimation of some of the legal
lights the nickel-in-the-slot business on
street cars is much like the contribution
box in church. The man who doesn't
drop in something may be regarded as
defrauding the Lord and trying to dead
beat his way to celestial abodes, but
there is no cOmpulsion. In Indianap-
oils, recently, the street railroads dis
pensed with conductors. and adopted
the niekel-in-the-slot arrangement. The
riders don't like the style, and hold
their nickels ready for the conductor
who does not come. The city attorney
advises them that they cannot be com
PEELED to entrust their coins to this de-
vice. In Philadelphia it has been de-
eided In one of the courts that a pas
senger on car must be provided with
seat before he can be made to pay. En-
foreement of this rule and the exclusion
of ISLANDERS would often compel persons
in a hurry to wait for car with vacant

WHEAT GROW DEMANDS.

The convention of wheat growers held
at St. Louis on the 24th was not prob
ably able to devise any process by
which they could compel buyers to pay
them 81 a bushel for their product; but
their demands, as embodied in their
resolutions, are in the right direction.
They ask the government to cultivate.
commercially, friendly relations with
those countries that impose restraints
upon the introduction of American farm
products, and thereby enlarge the for
eign demand. Nearly all the European
countries, except England. have been Of
late years putting up barriers against
the introduction of the food products Of
this country; and the high tariff policy
of the United States, where not the
Immediate incentive. has left lit
tie room for protest. OF course, this
narrowing of the outlets for the surplus
has tended to depress the price for farm
products. II is probable that most of
the foreign countries that are liable TO
be short in their home supply of food
would encourage the importation OF
American products if there were more
reciprocity in the treatment given them.
If they are shut out of the markets of
this country. retaliation is natural. But
anything in the way of combination to
control the price of wheat will be dis
appointing. It would have to be as
comprehensive as the sources of supply
to effect the object. A st0ppage of sup
ply in one quarter would only impel the
wheat posseSSors in other sections TO
bring out their stores. The demand
for the surplus in the English
market is the chief factor in
dete rmining the price Of wheat
In the Mississippi valley. The farm
ers at st. Louis properly insisted, also,
that the duties should be removed from
the raw material that enters into the
manufacture of farm implements. With
the rapidly extending wheat-grOwing
area of the world, only exceptional
causes will give old-time high prices for
wheat. The farmer cannot expect much
permanent advance. The only OppGr-
tunity for him to materially increase his
returns is by cheapening the cost of
production. Possibly be will be able by
special adaptations to somewhat ell
nance the average yield, which is put at
but little above twelve bushels per acre.
Most farm supplies pay the government
an average tax of ~ per cent in the way
of tariff. The farmers who met at st.
Louis are getting to understand their
interests in tariff reform.

OVERRODE THE VETO.
The Pan-Americans to Be Duly
Entertained at Kansas City.

az AAdASd6 Obtys
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. 25.-The city
council last Monday night voted an ap-
preparation of $1,000 to be expended in
the entertainment Of the Pan-American
tourists on the occasion of their
visit to this city. This evening the
mayor returned the ordinance author
izing the expenditure to the council
without his signature. The council
heretofore had not needed the mayors
veto of similar ordinance, and the re-
turned ordinance tonight was accom-
panied by written opinion by the city
counselor, in which the statement
was made that the city's charter
would not permit the expenditure of
the public money in the manner indi-
Gated. and warning the aldermen that
should they pass the ordinance over the
mayors veto they would be committing
misdemeanor, for which. if convicted,
they could be made to serve term of one
year in the county Jail. When the
matter came to vote the ordinance re-
ceived two more ballots than the re-
Quired two thirds. 1t is not thought
likely that any steps will be taken to
punish those who voted TO override the
mayors veto.

Circulars We're Forged.
LONDON, Oct. 25.-Resuming his
speech before the Parnell commission
to-day, Michael Davitt declared that
the landlord system ought to be
abolished and the land vested
in the state. The money raised
in America for the benefit
of the Irish cause, he said, was mainly
contributed by Irish workingmen and
women. Mr.. Davitt denied the exist
ence of an alliance between the Ma
tional league or the Land league and
any revolutionary organization in Ire
land. He knew, he declared, that Pig
OFT had confessed that the al
legged Parnell letters were for
geries before that person testified.
Presiding Justice Hammer said he could
not accept such statement without evil
dence to support. Mr.. Davitt said he
would not press it now, but the allega-
tions would be proved later. Circulars
issued by the Times were here produced
to show that the documents purporting
to prove an alliance between the league
and revolutionary organizations were
fOrgeries.

The subject has only been agitated to

been no intimation as to what view will

no question, that congress will lend the
enterprise government sanction so far,
at least, as to determine the location.
