Cost of a Bushel of Wheat.

An expert in grain-growing has fig
ured out that the average cost of rails
ing bushel of wheat in Michigan for
the last five years is about 10 cents.
With wheat at S1.00 there is a profit
for the producer, middlemen, and COM
mission brokers of 30 cents. The share
of this that falls to the farmer is not
easy to ascertain, but it is estimated to
range between 10 and Is cents. When
there is a speculative value on wheat
the profits to middlemen are proper
tionately ircreased, while the farmer
realizes but slight advantage. Say
Western contemporary; "1f what can
be produced for 10 cents, its market
price should never go above Sl.00.
When it gets beyond that the consumer
is lining the pockets of the speculator
with ill-gotten wealth" Prices Of
wheat for the immediate future are un-
certain, but on the assumption that
the acreage and yield are fully up to
the average another corner is not re-
garded as within the range of pro-
bability.. One of the methods en-
ployed to prepare the country for an
advance is to Systematically and per-
sistently misrepresent the condition of
the crops and the possible yield. When
this part of the scheme has been sue
cessfulIy worked, money and nerve
will accomplish the rest. The recent
scare seems to have had no more reli-
able basis than reports of short crops in
one or two States, while in several of
the largest wheat-producing States the
yield was up to the average.

It was fact worthy OF special men
ton that Of the cheers along the line OF
march none were heartier than those
given as the Governors Of Southern
States rode by In this celebration of
the real birthday Of this great and
united nation the North and the
South, the boys in blue and those who
wore the grey, are one.
From the New York Herald.
The regular troops marched well and
received very large part of the gen.
erous applause of the day. The navy
and marines were not forgotten. This
was as might have been expected.
But when the Southern troops swung
along the greeting was not only gen
erous, it was spontaneous. The Mary
land contingent, with its band playing
"My Maryland" was received with
warmth that awake the sentiment of
all who heard and looked. Line after
line Of the blue and grey intermingled,
"DiXie" and yankee Doodle" SWELL

on became frantic and showered what
ever they had on the moving ranks of

oranges, sandwiches and several bot
ties of wine.

Few regiments of it's size attracted
more attention than did the South
Carolina battalion, commanded by Brig
Gen. R. n. Richbourg, Major w. A.
Metts, adjutant general, second in COM

Stone street, by the Produce Exchange
building. The battalion is made up
of several companies all having dis

of the oldest military organizations in
America, led, and acted as a guard

large number of bullet holes and

but interesting effect. Henry Tovey,

J. P. Richardson, Of the "Palmetto
State" arrived in an open carriage
with his aides, and was greeted with a
'wild rebel yell'' which startled several
Union veterans, who at once proceeded
to make friends with their anc ent foes.
Capt W. V. Byrne, Of the 18th regi-
ment of South Carolina during the late
war, took from his breast handsome
bronzed badge and pinned it among
the many other medals which deco.

general, Major ". A. Metts, received
slight injury to his right leg and few
bruises by his horse slipping on car
track and falling on him.

AN EDITOR ON HIS EAR.
The Fellow Who Published an Interview
Which Cleveland Denies, Still Claims
That it is True.

RALEIGH, \. G., April 3O.-The
Wayne county weekly newspaper
which published the recent interview
with Ex-President Cleveland, will to-
morrow in an editorial, reafirm the
correctness of the interview at first
published.
The editor says the conversation be-
tween himself and Dir. Cleveland took
place on board the train while the par
ty were on the way home from Cuba,
and he will also assert his disbelief of
the fact that Mr.. Cleveland has ever
written the letter attributed to him to
the Charleston World disclaiming the
genuineness of the alleged interview.

OCONEE GOES DRY.
The Prohibitionists Garry the County by
Several Hundred Majority.
Especial to The Register


WALHALLA, May 2.-Yesterday the
election on the question of "license" or
"no license" for the sale of spirituous
liquors in Oconee County was held.
The election was held under a special
Act Of the last Legislature, submitting
the question to the qualified electors of
the County. AS best as can be learned
from the partial returns to-day, the
majority in favor of "no license" is
about $50. The law goes into effect
January lst, 1890, and then Walhalla,
the only town in the County which.
now grants license to saloons, will be
"dry."

Ex-Presideat Cleveland's speech pro-

of the matter that it contained, though
that far surpassed expectations, but for
the manner of it's delivery. Nearly
everybody knew that he could write a

could deliver one well. He acquitted
himself more than we'll; his delivery
was admirable. Chauncey NJ. Depew,

him with astonishment and applauded

Grover CIeveland's Place in the Centen-
niaI Pageant-The President as Was
is Greater than the President
as Is
IFrom the New York Times, Editorial. !

From the New York Times, Editorial.
Mr.. Cleveland has played very
modest part in the ceremonies of the
Centennial, and has assumed it with
entire modesty, but he cannot but feel
that there is strong feeling of affec-
tionate admiration for him in the hearts
of the people. The cheers that have
greeted him wherever he has been
called to appear have been cordial and
spontaneous, and at the banquet last
evening the enthusiasm that broke
forth when he arose was more general
anc emphatic than that which greeted
any other of the eminent men present.
His speech in response to the toast
t'Our People" was marked by his char
acteristic sobriety and elevation of
thanghtsand was manly expression
confidence in popular
government. If his reception has been
inevitably compared with that given to
the actual President, we do not see that
the people are to blame, or Mr.. Cleve-
land either.
CHEERS FOR CLEVELAND.
From the New York Times.7
The cheers which greeted President
Harrison and those which greeted
Grover Cleveland as the line of carri-
ages coming from the sub-treasury ex-
ercises rolled out of Pine street. into
Broadway, came in for good deal of
dissection and analysis from some of
those in the crowd.
The Harrison cheer, at this point of
the parade at least, seemed to be held in
check, perhaps by curiosity to see the
new President. The people seemed to
be occupied altogether with looking at
MIR. Harrison. Probably not one in
hfty of those whose eyes were bent
upon his carriage could recall any one
of the other three faces in it. After it
had passed they could tell you just how
the President wore his whiskers, just
how he lifted his hat, and just what
sort Of an expression there was upon
his face. They might also have COM
mented that there was not much
change in his expression, and that he
rarely smiled. The applause they gave
! him was more than polite patter- It
was made up Of modest hurrah, a
pattering Of women's hands, and a
graceful futtering of handkerchiefs.
A few other carriages rolled along,
and then came the one in which sat

cask ia which it was packed was a Virginia
cask, entirely unlike the Maryland article,
and the tobacco WAS sharl, frosted tips while
his tobacco was of long, silky texture and
perfectly sound. He is much chagrined at the
