Canadians Growing Indignant Over the

MONTREAL, Que. = During the last
forty-eight hours the indignation ex-
pressed by Canadians over what they
are pleased to style Yankee outrages in
Behring Sea has taken a new phase, and
this comes from the party In politics
known as advanced liberals, which
is fast becoming the power in the Do

nothing more or less than the
declaration of independence of Canada.
The Montreal Herald, owned by the Hon.

publishes strong editorial advocating
the independence of Canada rather than

THE WHEAT FARMERS GOOD YEAR.


Various estimates have been made of
the American wheat crop for the current
year, the latest and most reliable of
which places it at abont 100000, 900 bush-
els, or 100000 more than last year :.
Under ordinary circumstances this would
mean cheaper -four at home and large
surplus to carry over to next year. But
the wind that blows good to some body
has been waiting prosperity in the direc-
tion of American wheat growers by max
ing short wheat crops elsewhere. The
London Miller estimates this shortage as
follows: Russia, 100000 bushels; HIM
gary, 36,OoOOOO; Roumsnia, 100000;
Germany, S,OOO,OO0; India, 100000, and
South America and Austr ALA, 24,000,000;
total, 166,00O,000. The increases are:
United States, 80, 100000; Canada, 8,000,-
600; EngIend and France, 100000;
Italy, Spain, Belgium, Holland and Alge-
ria, 80, 1000, 900; total, 154 100000. This
estimate, if correct, shows the worlds
wheat crop to be about IL, 100000 bushels
less than last year, and as the reservoirs
are lower than at that time, it seems quite
probable that the bulk of our surplus crop
will be needed for export. This isn't go
ing to be one of the American wheat
growers off years, evidently.

A Prohibition Editor Gains the Displeasure
of Mob.

VALLEY CRY, ID. 1.-THE office OF
the Times-Record was completely de-
moiished by q mob Friday night. The
editor of the paper is a pronounced pro-
hibitionist and has used his influence
with telling effect, both in local affairs
and in the recent state convention, when
he SO bitterly opposed the nomination
of Araes, of Fargo, ss to defeat that
gentleman. At dark last night they sur
rounded the Office quietly but by a perfect
und erstanding, and az given signal a
rush was made for the building. The
door was forced open and mad mob
poured through, each one grabbing the
first object that came 70 hand and doing
the best 70 dem0lish il. The ofhce the
next day presented disco1raging sight.
Presses we're broken. ink was spread over
walls and floor, type was heaped in con-
fusion in dozen places while some had
been hnrled Through the windows 20 the
street below. Every particle of paper
stock was destroyed; not dollars worth
of material escaped the general wreck.
Several participants of the outrage are
known and they viii be most vigorously
prosecuted.

DOING A RUSHING BUSINESS.
Fourteen SeaIers Boarded by the Officers Of
the Rush.

SAN FRANCISCO, GAIA letter by steam
er st. Paul from Ounalaska, Tues
day night, from an offic er on board the
Rush, says that the latter on Aug. 6, cap
tured the British schooner Lilly, of Van
couver, while taking seals In Behring
sea. Three hundred skins we're found
on board the Lilly, which was seized and
transferred to the Rush. A prize crew
of one man was put on the schooner with
orders to take her 20 Alaska. The seized
vessels will have their cases tried in the
Alaska district court. The Rush ex-
pected to b. relieved by the Bear at
Ounalaska, when she will proceed to
San Francisco. Forrteen sealers in all
have been boarded by the Rush and
warned TO leave Behring sea, in addition
to the six captured. The cargo of the
st. Paul consisted of 100000 seal skins.
VICTORIA, B. C.-The sealing schoon-
er, Janita, arrived on Friday from
Behring sea. She was boarded by officers
of the United States revenue cutter
Rush, and 900 seal skins seized. The
schooner was ordered TO Si5ka, but no
prize crew placed aboard.

NFW- NEXICO'S BIG STORM.

New Mexico is not used to such a calamity
as a day blizzard. In the coolest regions
of the Northwest, where the thermometer in
dulges in the widest excuses Of low temper
ature long-continued storm is unusual and
strange. But New-Nlexico is to be classed as a
Southern State. The thrty-fifth parallel, which
is coincdent with Tennessee's southern and
Mississipp's northern boundary, passes through
New Mexico somewhat above its central part.
and its ordinary winter weather is mild and
gentle. Any snow at all, except in the noun
tains, is difficult to reckon upon, and such a
mighty fall as came upon the Territory is to be
regarded as wonderful.
It's effect cannot but be exceedingly harmful
to the TeIritory's growing stock interests. The
loss of 1000 cattle and 10000 sheep means
the wrecking of many good outfit" and will
result in as hard a struggle as was experienced
in Montana and Wyoming after the cruel win
ter of 1886. New-Mexico has been developing
splendidly during the last six years, and is one
# the most promising of the few remaining
Territories, but its people will experience no
little difficulty in recovering the losses entailed
by this traordinary visitation. Fortunately
the mines will do great deal to keep off suf-
fering. New Mexico is not confined to one in
dustry 1t has many, and blow to one will by
no means result in general prOStration.

as party leader. Was the election setback
for the Republicans of New-York? Mr. Platt
maintains that il was anything but that, and
makes good his position by trenchant analysis
of the vote and by forcibly contrasting the big
things which Governor Hill struggled to achieve
with the little which he actually did achieve.
Since the Democrats did not hold their own so
far as the vote for the chief places on their
State ticket was concerned, since they failed to
capture either the Senate or Assembly, thus de-
stroying any hopes they may have entertained
of naming the United States Senator in 1871,
Mr. platt is unable to see that they have gained
a victory worthy the name. That portion OF
his remarks which he devotes to considering
the reasons why we failed to elect our state
ticket is earnestly commended to the stay-at-
homes. Mr. Flatt demonstrates that we Re
publicans did what our opponents could not dc
we beat ourselves. If the party hereaboutS
had done as we'll as our brethren in the interior
did we should have scored a signal triumph
The organs of the Governor would do well to
keep away from our interview with Mr. Platt.

referred to the more important ones are loaded

MORALS FOR BROOKLYN.

Brooklyn Republicans were over-confident on
the eve of election, and many of them were
sorely disappointed when the returns convinced
them that their local canvass had been a fail
ure. On the State ticket they had made hand
some gains over the vote of each of the pre-
ceding years, and on this account they had nc
real ground for Encouragement. Indeed. the
same proportion of gain, if it had been evenly
distributed throughout the State, would have
secured the election of the Republican candi-
dates and the defeat of Hill and his black sheen
The party in Kings County, in this respect, has
every reason to be proud of its achievements
but inasmuch as its excellent city and county
candidates were defeated, many of the leaders
are overwhelmed with modification and dis
may. There is however, no valid reason foi
dependency. Brooklyn Republicans for many
years have been making hard uphill struggle
against superior numbers and if they will only
look the facts in the face they will find incon-
testable evidence of increasing party strength
and certain promise Of the final conversion
of their town and county into stronghold fol

THE FUTURE OF THE COUNTIES.

The future of the County Democracy is one
| of the interesting problems upon which the re-
suit of the elections has fixed public attention.
So many patriots have deserted this organiza-
| ton since Tammany Hall obtained control of
the commissary department, and so many more
are now preparing to desert unless some unex-
pectedy good reason for remaining is brought
to their notice with great promptness, that
some definite plan Of action must be laid out
forthwith. Large bodies move slowly in hori-
zonta direction, but by the me law OF nature
they fall fast when they once get started And
vet we do not remember any large body which
has fallen with a velocity fit to be compared
with that attained by the County Democracy
during the last two years. Whether it struck
bottom at last on November 5 and will. now
succeed in gathering itself together slowly pre-
paratory to another rise remains to be seen.
There are those who think that it is still NOV
ing toward the centre of the earth and will
presently emit final gurgle and disappear
forever.
The present week will probably disclose the
future state of the Counties, if they have one.
There is a commOtiOn among the debris which
may signify that there is life there still, and
everybody knows that while there is life there
is hope. Ii may be only death struggle, and
then again it may be an indication that the
fittest are making desperate effort to survive.
If they can settle it among themselves who are
the fittest there is chance for them. But
there's the rub. There seems to be DISPOSE
ton to set up a new standard of fitness, and a
possibility that Mr.. Power for example, will
fall below it, There are rumors, too, that Mr..
William c. Whitney is going to assume the
functions of a nucleus and perform marvels of
attraction and various other surprises are said
to be in prospect. In the meantime, Tammany
looks on with complacency which is not at all
inconsistent with human nature, and occasion
ally even stoops to conquer by pulling victim
out Of the ruins.

baird the result would have been different ;
but apparently, it was largely regained by the
Democratic party, from which it had been
diverted two years before. The local election,
therefore, proved to be in the main direct
test of strength between parties, and the Repub-
leans were outnumbered there as they were in
The vote for Sta.e officers The Democratic party

controlling every floating vote and Mayor
Cbanin and most of his colleagues ran ahead
Of the State ticket The Republicans would
have carried the election for Mayor against any
other candidate than the responsible author Of
the present popular policy of local improve
ments.
What Republicans in Brooklyn need to
do is to take courage and strengthen their
lines for future operations. One mistake which
they have made during the last year has been
that Of devoting too much time to intrigueS for
securing nominations in strong Republican dis
tricts like the Third Senatorial. Another
has been that of exhausting their energies in
rivalries for Federal patronage. Still another was
that of putting faith in adventitious political
alliances. A minority party cannot afford to
expend its resources and to waste its influence
in political recreatons which impair its prestige
with the public A minority party that hopes
to become majority party must remain on the
highest levels of political action from one
election to another. If it does this, it will find
itself every year in a position to challenge tho
majority with greater confidence, and in the
end to triumph all along the line.
