One Of the most impressive political move.
ments that has been seen in Portland for
many day is the so-called Citizens move
ment. which with so much unanimity nomin-
ated the Hon. John W. Deering on Monday
evening. Citizens movements are frequent
ly open to the suspicion of being merely con-
venient disguises to cover up some maneuyre
on the part of political party or ambitious
individual. But the present citizens move
ment is no doubt spontaneous uprising Of
the people, some three hundred of them. who
view with alarm the peril to the city, and
are resolved to rescue it from impending
danger. There are cavaliers who say that
many of the gentlemen interested in this
movement have never before manifested
much interest in the welfare Of the city, but
they no doubt belong to the band of con-
spirators who are plotting the city's des.
truction, and are consequently interested to
belittle and misrepFssent the motives-of this
intEepid~and incorruptible band Of three
hundred. who are ready to die at Thermo.

The Advertiser showed last night very
conclusively that Mr.. behring's charges Of
extravaganza and corruption against the
present and past Republican administrations
OF the city were entirely unfounded. But
that will not prevent their iteration and re.
Iteration. The men who make these charges
know perfectly we'll that they are unbound

become the fashion to shout this kind of
stuff during political campaign. Their au-
thors themselves do not believe them, and
they do not really expect that anybody else
will. Our municipal administrators make
mistakes sometimes, no doubt, and some
times incur unwise expenditures, but that
they are, or ever have been, band of thieves

ates, is proposition too absurd for serious

Mr.. EDWARD BELLAMY in the CT

Mr.. EDWARD BELLAMY in the current
number OF The Forum, and Mr.. Ter
renee V. Powderly IN the last number
of his newspaper, want among other
things, the railroads, the telegraph. and
the telephone to be taken by the Fed
aral Government, and by it operated
for the benefit of the people. Mr., Bel
lamy is Socialist and agitator because
it gives him fame and cash it pays to
dig up, reshape, and circulate anew
doctrines which have always been and
always will be popular with those who
believe that society or the State owes
them living, and should give 1t to
them. Mr.. Powderly is gentleman
who has found it exceedingly profita-
BILE to preach Socialism and to create
and disseminate discord between labor
and capital. That is his business, and
it pays him very well-much better,
indeed, than anything else that he did
ever paid him. 1t would pay him and
all OF his sort good deal better If he
and they could induce the Govern
ment to make the railroads, telegraph,
and telephone part of Its business. II
the Government were to do that, these
three great enterprises would be run as
a political machine: and as labor
would be necessary to operate them,
the chief of a labor organization, would
be political parsonage of very great
importance.

deem his duties as a citizen Cancelled
or modified by the fact that he is
public preacher Of the gospel. He is
still citizen, and the rights and duties
of this civil status belong to him. II
he prays for good government, as he
certainly should, then he is equally
bound TO preach as he prays, and then
to vote as he breaches and prays. He
owes it to his country and to his God
to be politician to this extent. Some
one has said: ~ feel contempt for the

corruption and intrigue and bad pas
sions are largely blended with the cur
rent politics of the day, furnishes just
no reason at all why clergymen should

politics purer and better.

The Wheat Crop of the World.

The Wheat Crop of the World.
If the official report, recently made
public, of the Minister of Agriculture
of Hungary upon the wheat crop of the
world is at all evident that the general
reports, foreign and domestic, OF the
early summer upon the same subject
were misleading. The reports from
England, Scotland, Ireland and Walks,
and from nearly all the Continental
countries, were to the general effect
that che wheat crop would be unusually
light, by reason of the long continuance
| of cold and wet weather. Throughout
the United Kingdom 1t was persistently
stated that the yield would be much
less than that of last year, and reports
from France, Germany and Austria
were similarly dlscouraging. In the
United States the reverse of all this was
reported. In some of the great wheat
growing States and sections it was given
out that the crop had been injured, but
that the average yield OF the country
would be as largely in excess this year as
the aggregate Of Europe would be as
much less than that of 1889. The har-
eesting of the wheat fields of the world
has not proved either of these predic-
tons to be quite correct.
In the United Kingdom, in Canada
and Egypt the crop of this year is
larger than the preceding one; In Can
ada the increase is stated to be equal
to 50 per cent. In Russia the crop of
1900 is more than third greater than
that of 1880; in Germany it is nearly
one sixth greater. In Switzerland,
Belgium and Denmark an increased
yield is noted. In the United States
the decrease from last year Is stated to
be about 10 per cent.
AVith the exception of Russia, Hun
gary, the Balkan and other small East
ern States, the countries of Europe, in
Guiding the Uuited Kingdom, being I'M
able to raise a supply sufficient fer
their own consumption, are obliged to
import part of what they use. They
depend upon the United States, Can
Ia, Russia, Hungary and Egypt to
furnish them what they lack, and it
will probably surprise many OF our own
countrymen to learn from the report
of the Hungarian Minister of Agricul-
ture that his country may be able to
export as large a quantity of wheat this
year as will the United States. Russia
may be able to spare double the num-
Der of bushels available here for ex-
port, and Roumanla and Egypt may
may also have much more than enough
for themselves.
Taking the yield of the wheat fields
of the world as set forth In this report,
the aggregate supply will be in excess
of last years, and greater also than the
demand,-4meylcan.

THE acceptance by the Rev. r. H
Pullman of the Republican nomination
for Congress in the Third Maryland
District, has been made the subject oil
unfavorable criticism upon the ground,
that minister of the Gospel performs
his whole political duty when he goes
to the polls and votes, and that he dis
honors his profession when he engages
in practical politics. Mr.. Pullman, how.
ever, takes higher view than this and
holds, that the responsibilities of Amer
lean citizenship and especially of Off
cial life are as sacred as can be imposed

triotic and moral sentiments are needed
to elevate politics from the degradation
into which they have fallen through

seek personal preference rather than
their country's good, and that one Of
the sadest conditions of our American
life is that SO many people, Disguised
with politics, have refused to engage in.

THE CUNNING SEASON.

Recent Changes Made In the Laws. Practical
Points Which All Gunners Should Know
SO as to Avoid UnpIeasantness.
The lovers of sport throughout the
State seem awake to the necessity of pro-
tecting the game, and many changes in
the laws, were made by the last Lsgisla-
ture. Some counties pay bounties for
the scalps of hawks and other destroyers
of game birds. Many counties require
non-residents to take out license to
shoot. Prince Georges and Anne Aruud-
ell allow robins to be shot only from
November to April /. These same couu-
ties advocate the killing, catching, trapp-
ing and destruction at all times of the
English sparrow. Washington county
allows the shooting of doves only August
IL to December %, and deer from Nov
ember l to January 10. Somerset county
allows duck shooting from October to
April /, and goose shooting from
November l to April /. There has
been an advance IN the game of all kinds
ulouJ hafO DOOu
sport in partridge shooting by opening
the season in Baltimore county October
1, but the last Legislature changed the
law for Baltimore county, aud partridge
shooting does not commence there this
year until November |. 1t is said that
shooting was allowed in Baltimore county
in the past before the birds had matured
so that Baltimore sportsmen might exer
else and improve their dogs before going
off to the greater and better fields for
cartridges.

amended by the last Legislature.
