WHY WHEAT Is NOT GOING UP.

Nh. c. Wood Davis was in the city
yesterday; he is watching the grain stu
alton of Europe with the keenest interest.
The cars ul1ase will not fesd his starv-
ing millions but it viii cut the markets
of Europe short just that much. Russia
viii not dare export anything that can
be made into human food. In the mean
time while the grain output of America
is enormous and the grain of Europe is
Just now seeking the market, the hay
crop of the United States is 90 per cent.
short which must be supplied by grain.
Again the present fall wheat stand Of
the United States is below the average,
even poor. But for the fact that the
grain importers have ali the freight YES
sells chartered; in other words, but for
the fact that they are holding a corner
on ocean freights, wheat and corn and
oats would make big jump in price.
Wheat in Europe is now worth twenty
seven cents more than in America on
that account, when it ought to be not
more than twenty-four cents higher.
The difference is being pocketed by the
men who hold the corner on ocean
transportation.

SHERMAN'S HOME LETTERS,


The letters of General Sherman now
being published in the Cosmopolitan are
unique; in fact, so far as the writer
knows, they are the only letters ever
written in the midst of hostilities by a
great general to his daughter. We have
the brief letters of Napoleon to jose
phine, but there is nothing at all resem-
bling the Sherman letters to be found in
the literature of war. They not only
throw new light upon the character of
the great man himself, but upon the
operations then in process of being
carried out The second and last paper,
which appears in the December Cosmo-
politan, is uniqe III another respect
that it is illustrated by a man who sat at
Shermans mess table during the cam
paigns of which he writes to his
daughter. This most famous of war
artists. Theodore r. Davis, is still alive,
and supplements the Sherman letters by
very interesting paper of his own and
a great number of sketches which he
made at the time

Almost Side by side.

Two sailing vessels recently lay in the
Mersey that had left Liverpool on the
same day last year, and after voyages of
nearly 10000 miles for each returned to
port at Liverpool almost side by side.
They left Oct. for Astoria, Ore, and
arrived there March 1 or 9, having been
in company with each other for large
portion of the voyage. They were In
sight for forty days. Both captains had
their wives on board, and during the
forty days Of proximity one Of the cap
tains and his wife enjoyed a Sunday
dinner ON the other vessel. the compli-
ment being returned the following Sun
day by the other captain.
Both vessels left Astoria April 6, but
this time one vessel sailed for Dunkirk
and the other for Havre. They left
these ports at nearly the same time, and
entered the Mersey within hailing dis
tance after voyage Of 342 days.-Lon-
don Letter.

LONG PRISON LIFE.
To the Editor of the Eagle.

In looking over the EAGLE of Novem-
Der "a notice an article and portrait of
one Phillip Steinmetz, life convict in
the Ohio penitentiary, who died few
years ago, after serving twenty-tbree
years of prison life. was an officer at
that prison during the years 1868, 1869,
and up to June, 1870. and when this
same Steinmetz entered the prison put
the stripes on him and gave him his
first lesson in prison life, and l must
confess that your engraving is a good
figure of the old man. But think the
EAGLE little mistaken when it says
that this is the longest term ever served
by one man. One John Gull, who died
in this same prison few years ago,
served about thirtytwo years prison
life. NJ S. ROCHELLE.

nrHERE ISN'T, ISN'T THEREOF

The Ieavenworth Times says: High IL
cense seems now to be the only practical way
| Question does the Times refer tor There is no
| unsettled liquor question in Kansas.-EmporIa
Republican.
There isn't, isn't there9 If you live in
| Kansas two years longer you will think
there is the biggest kind of a liquor ques-
ton to be settled nworth Times.
In this connection an impulse akin to
a temptation almost persuades us to
Quote a few paragraphs from the Times
of one and two years ago crIticizing the
| EAGLES Resubmission leadership, and
the EAGLES warnings that the Repub-
lican party of Kansas was going to
pieces over local issue not recognized
by the national Republican platform,
| And in the same connection we might
quote from letters written to us by a
number of prominent Republican officials
of the state holding the EAGLE, with its
Rebellion and Resubmission, largely re-
sponsible for the troubles of the RepUb-
lican party of the state, nearly every one
of which letters predicted that the
! troubles so persistently dwelt upon
by the EAGLE would all blow over
in two or three months. Both
of our United States senators held to this
latter view. But one phase of that re-
bellion instead of blowing over blew one
of those same United States senators out
of his seat, as it did five congressman,
besides electing the lower house of the
legislature. And the resubmission busl-
ness additional came within an ace of
defeating the entire state ticket.
Whisky drinking is no good, and the
''saloon in politics" is humiliat;ng
curse, as all right thinking men will
agree, but as a majority of the people of
Kansas at best are only a degree
more moral and more intelligent than
the majority of the peoples of other
states, the old and righteous inspiration
of Christ of preaching people into heaven
win be found both more effective and
satisfactory than prohibitory efforts to
legislate them there. In other words
the majority of the people of Kansas are
more inclined to trust the church and its
moral agencies, and home influences,
than police commissions. courts and
iails--more inclined to accept the wis
dom of the Divine Nazarine, and the ex-
perience Of the ages, than the hobby of
politicians, even if they be Prohibition
Republicans,
The safe, the reasonable and the polite
thing for the Republican party to do Is,
in in its next state convention and plat
form, to give the prohibitory law no
more attention than any other law in
the statute books, leaving that and ali
other issues in which there is SO large a
division of sentiment to be settled by a
direct vote of the people, either in choos-
ing delegates to a constitutional conven- |
ton or on the adoption of new consti-
tuition, or in both. This course will not |
suit that extreme element of the party |
who have for ten years politically bossed |
our political bosses, but it will prove |
to a very large majority of |
the people without regard to party, not |
to say to very large minority of the
party whose votes viii be
needed next fall

The National Weighing Machine com
pany has, it is said, just bought the right
to use a certain lock on the money
pouches of their machines, for which
they viii pay the inventor the sum of
$50, 900. This is a safety lock, and its
purpose is to prevent robbery of the ma
chine by the employees VINO are en-
trusted with collecting the earnings Of
the silent money makers daily. There
are 20, 900 of these machines now in use
in the United States, and the company Is
getting ready to put 10, 600 more on the
market. When a penny is dropped N
the slot it will roll into little iron box
and there remain until the collector calls
during the day.
The collector will be furnished with
a seamless bag, the metal mouth OF
which he will insert into an oriice in
the cash box. There is a registering
lock in the mouth of this bag, the reg
istered number of which is recorded in
the company's Office before the collector
receives it. Inserting the bag properly,
he turns the key which he has just one
quarter turn. This releases concealed
key in the bag, which is guided into a
keyhole in the cash box. A second quar-
ter turn unloeks the cash box, and the
money rolls into the collectors pouch
without his being able to touch it. A
third quarter turn withdraws the con-
cealed key, and the last turn releases the
pouch, with the contents of the cash box
intact.-BosJon Transcript.

One Of the fayoriie themes ofthe Dem
ocrauc party Is to accuse the Republican
party Of dishonest political methods, and
they make no bones Of charging the lat
ter with stealing states. But of course
nobody is fooled by such decoytduck
tactics. The honest @ party of Dave
Hill and of Tammany is now engaged in
a deliberate scheme to procure control
Of the next New York state legislature.
They claim a majority of about half a
dozen in the lower house, while it has
been conceded that the Republicans
elected a majority Of the senate. The
scheme is to so manipulate the returns
from the late election as to give the
Democrats majority. A case in point:
In one precinct in one of the close dis
tricts the Republican candidate received
1Sl votes and the Democrat III. Bv
swapping the votes it VIII give the Dem
ocrat a small majority and this will give
the Democrats one majority in the
senate, and thus advan,aged they can
proceed to unseat as many more as may
be desirable Verify, the publication Of
politics is an iridescent dream.

WICHITA THE GRAIN CENTER OF
KANSAS.

what is. by the state board of agricul
tur,e designated, as the central grain bell
of Kansas, being one-third of Its area
or about $40 miles wide by 200 miles
north and south, produces two-thirds OF
the entire wheat yield of the state and
about half of the corn. OF this golden
belt" Wichita is the undOubted metropo-
lis. as it is of that Of the south half OF
+be western belt. Four railways run
north from this city through this belt to
within 70, rs, so, and 81 miles respec-
lively of the north line of the state, all
connecting with other roads that cover
the extreme northern end of the belt. In
addition the Santa Fe, the Missouri Pa
cific. the Wichita and Western and the
Southern Kansas liRk this city
with all of the Arkansas val
lev and the territory lying south
of this valley to the state line. Being
thus geographically located and thus
supplied with railway transportation
facilities with reference to the great
grain producing area of the state, all
that is necessary, in connection with our
present grain inspection, is sufficient
elevator and storage capacity to make
this city the central grain market of the
state for either milling or for Chicago
and lake shipments or for Gulf exporta-
ton.
These facts are so obvious that the
wonder IS that some Of the number OF
shipping markets that have the capital
and that are ambitious to handle the
grain of Kansas, have not erected these
necessary facilities here for the control
and benefit Of the trade at their existing
markets.
Chicago, which has never been lacking
in enterprise, has not done SO, probably
because that city's market is already
l-eaping she great bulk of this product
through Kansas City, where Kansas
Grain has been forced to center for years.
But there is no such reason why st.
Louis. New Orleans, Mobile or Galveston
should remain Indifferent. st. Louis,
with all her capital in elevators, mills
and facilities for both eastern and export
distr ibution, and with no show for tins
grain once it reaches Kansas City, has
failed to assert herself at this the only
initial point where dominion would be
possible. We have no cause of COM
plant that Chicago receives the first
benefit, but we are not satisfied that
Kansas City tolls our products on the
highway to market. 1t appears little
else than strange that st. Louis, which
is 200 miles nearer this natural con-
centratin point than is Chicago, fails to
see her opportunity to reach out ana oc-
cupy the natural focus of territory of
such a vast product. In this matter ST.
Louis and Wichita could mutually act
IN very beneficial way, and just as
Chicago and Kansas City are doing, st.
Louis could wake up and become the
Chicago to Wichita's Kansas City.

CHEERFUL FIGURES AND THANKS.

Kansas raised this year 10000, 900
bushels of wheat, or more than one
tenth Of the crop of the United States.
The wheat crop of Kansas would supply
a population of 10, 600, 900, or one-fifth of
the people of this country. 1t would
take las, 600 cars Of 400 bushels each to
haul the wheat grown in Kansas this
year. No state in the Union ever pro-
duoed SO much surplus wheaG Deduct
ing for seed and home consumption
there viii be 50,OOO,OO bushels for ex-
port in wheat and flour, or more surplus
than the total crop of any other state
raised this year. Let Us be thankful.
