Editor Hoch of the Marion Record

Marion county in the last legislature, is
clearly entitled to the nice things the
Emporia Republican says about him: he
he Is a gentleman and scholar. but if
the Republican had waited Just one day
before it made such a spread-eagle
demonstration over what Mr.. Hoch said
in his paper about Senator ingalls,. and
until the Marion county Republican con-
vennon disposed of his anti-Ingalls reso-
luton by sitting down on it with a prac-
tically unanimous vote and much en-
thusiasm, the Republican would probably
have saved itself and Mr.. H. both the

the said publication places them before

AN ExAsPERATING SITUATION.

The statement that the French wheat
crop is rotting and that the loss will
amount to nearly one hundred million
dollars, is a brief description of terrible
situation in that country, while the sit
uation in Russia is described as being lit
tie if any better. If that is the case
there cannot possibly be any question of
over-productiOn of wheat in the United
States this year, for there will be a lack
of bread in those countries, and our
wheat viii be needed.
Now. if there was no such thing as
speculation, the price Of the product in
this country would simply rise to meet
this extraordinary demand, and the pro-
ducer would be benefited with compare
lively little suffering to the consumer;
but that is by no means what Will hap

The Philadelphia Ledger has ascertain
ed that the new census will leave New
York and Indiana pivotal states How
the census can determine the political
state of community we are at a loss to
understand, the enumeration being es-
sentially nOn-partisan. But granting
that the Ledger's information is correct,
it makes little difference to the Republi-
can party as touching its chances of sue
cess, since it calculates on receiving a
sufficient increase in strength in the new
west to overcome any possible loss it
may sustain in the east.

The project of an international rail
road is likely to become a reality sooner
than is generally supposed. Congress
has agreed to an appropriation
for surveying the proposed line of
the road. Maps, profiles, surveys and
papers which were owned by delegates
to the Pan-American congress are under
examination by engineers. 1t is claimed
that the road will traverse a healthy
country. perfectly free from malaria
and at all points within a short distance
of the greatest gold and silver bearing
region in the world. The road will cross
and connect 10000 miles of navigable
waters.

No rain has fallen in northwestern
Indiana for nearly two months and
farmers are almost in despair. The
wheat crop is turning out badly: oats
are failure and corn is burnt up and
damaged beyond repair The potato
crop is total failure and prices are
rapidly advancing. Sunday prayers for
rain were offered up in all the churches
of Fort Wayne, and special prayer
services for rain will be continued dur
ing the week. The outlook for the
farmers is indeed gloomy.

The Russian wheat yield is deficient and
the grain of a very poor quality. The
French wheat crop is but little short of a
bad failure The English fields have been
flooded with water a large part of the
summer, which has resulted in an extern

that prohibition should affect those people
so badly. That is what does it all in Kan
