RUSSIA MAY STOP WHEAT EXPORTS

From the Kansas City Star.
The New York and Chicago grain ex.
changes have for several days been full
of rumorS that Russia is about to pro-
hibit the expectation of wheat. Yester-
day the rurnor was cabled from Berlin
with the statement that the ukase would
wOald be effective after Oct 10. The
Paris grain dealers have been cabling
the important story for several days,
adding that il comee from reliable
sources" 1t is not to be presumed that
anyone is SO closely in the condolences of
the car as to be able to ascertain what
his purposes are in such an affair as this.
But the rumor has many believers be-
cause Of the enormous shipments Of
wheat which have bean made recently
from Russian ports. The theory Is that
the government has given the exporters
time to Till their contracts and 70 move
the grain which has already been
shipped from the interior. and which
cannot be sent to the famine districts
without great expense.
II the rumcr should turn out to be
true. its confirmation viii Immediately
put an end 10 the period of waiting for
wheat 20 60 up. Is would az once take
S5, GOO. 900 bushels of wheat out of the
supplies which the importing nations Of
Europe are counting on to held make up
their deficiency. Speculation IN this
country would at oRoe carry prices up
perhaps % cents bushel, and it Is alto
gether probable that European markets
would follow the rise and that il would
be maintained.

WHY IT FAILED.

The Hutchinson News has been sold at
sheriff's sale, and was bought by resub-
mission Democrat, the purchase price be-
ing s., 900. The News was Hutchinstn's
only daily paper, it had good field and
a reasonably good advertising patronage.
Why it failed is a mystery.-EmpoTia Re-
publican.
1t failed for the simple reason that it
was always too big for any possible sup
port which it could legitlmately COM
mand. The city nor country were equal
to an eight page, seven column paper,
furnished with the wire news of the As
sociated Press. Its founder was SO ad.
vised, but he answered that Hutchinson
was equal to anything. And that peo-
ple's loyalty to the News was matter
of astonishment, more than equalling
their pride and enterprise, if that were
possible,

Spelling WHEAT.

The EAGLE few days since, basing its
remarks on Associated Press news, VEN
tured the opinion that the early frosts,
unexpected SHOWS and unusual rains in
the Dakotas and Minnesota would prob
ably damage the wheat just harvested,
and to such an extent as to make an ap-
preciable difference TO the worlds mar
kets. Hon. James R. Meade, of this
city, received letter yesterday from a
large wheat grower in Minnesota which
fully verifes the EAGLES conclusions
alluded to. He writes that thousands of
acres of wheat are rotting in the shock
and tens of thousands of acres sproutlng
in the sheaf, and the rain still continu-
ing. OF the small per cent of the wheat
of hif section in stack the most of it has
heated and sprouted.

THE WATER WE DRINK.

New York is at present in the throes
of well developed water scare. Chem
ical examination of the Croton water re-
veals the presence of deleterious sub
stance, including decayed vegetable mat
ter and living organisms, in such guam
titles as to render it unfit and, in fact,
dangerous for drinking purposes, with
out being previously subjected to
boiling, and inspection of the source of
supply show state of affairs that is
enough to shake the stoutest heart and
sicken the strongest stomach. The
course of the east branch of the Croton,
for example from Brewster's to Reser-
voir l, is lined with farms, stables, mills
and villages, all of which are controlled
by persons who seem to regard the river
as beneicent dispensation of Provi-
dence, created solely to save them the
trouble of building a sewer. The details
that the New York papers give are
simply shocking. Seven distinct nuis-
ances in one brief quarter of a mile
are numerated, including outhouses
and stables. In the Croton water
shed there are eighty-three ceme-
teries and grave yards pertaining to
towns and twenty-eight to villages and
hamlets. Naturally New York is in a
high state of excitement and is demand
ing investigation, abatement and other
measures.
In Philadelphia the Schuylkill river,
from which the city derives ITS water
supply, has been discovered to be teem-
ing with organic matter. and a micro
scopic examination Of the water reveals
strange and horrible forms.
In Chicago distinct traces of sewage
have frequently been found in the drink
ing water, and many cases of disease are
found to have been caused BY using it.
The Missouri river towns felicitate
themselves upon the purity of their water
that is supplied from the Big Muddy.
They asseverate that while the water
may be thick, and of the color of pea
soup, and that they NAV sometimes find
it necessary TO let it stand awhile in order
not to imbibe too much sand. the purity
of the water has never been questioned,
and, as nothing in this world is ever per
feet, they congratulate themselves that
it is sand and not sewage they are COM
PEELED TO drink.
The question of drinking water is one
that hits everybody "where they live"
An adequate supply for all purposes and
any emergency is a vital consideration,
and the purity of the water supply is no
less so. On this point Wichita yields
first place to no city or town on the con-
tlnent The ci:y's water supply is drawn
from beneath thirty feet of gravel and
sand, through which it is filtered by
nature, and thus. absolutely free from
contamination from any cause or source,
it enters the mains and pipes of the sys-
tenn and is delivered in its originally
pure condition TO the consumer.

The Champion says Atchison county
Republicans never put up better ticket
than they have this fall. And another
pleasing feature in the campaign up
there is the cordial and unreserved sup
port the Champion is giving the accept
able ticket. The Champion has been
chided by some of the more jealous par
tisan papers of the state for its luke
warmness towards the party. The
Champion has taken occasion to criti-
else some of the methods of some Of the
party leaders but has never swerved
from its steadfastness in the principles
of true Republicanism. Solomon never
uttered a wiser or truer proverb than
when he declared faithful are the
wounds of friend"

sees and reads of the trotter and his per-
formances, he naturally falls into line.
Again, the fertile prairies and wood
ands with their abundant and al
most perpetual grasses, with the
cheap and teening grain fields of our
western farm lands, point unmistakably
to the profitable production of the use
full and speedy trotter, for which there
is an ever-lncreasing demand at from
merely paving, to princely prices. And
last, but by no means the least, of these
considerations there is implanted in the
heart of every true and native American
natural love for and leaning to, the
tr otter of quality and of every degree
speed which finds and meets coun-
er chord or feeling in the breast of
very we'll doing farmer that makes
breediug an adjunct TO his other agricul-
tural pursuits. Not only is this the case
in the outlying and rural districts, but
capitalists and men of means in the cities
nave formed stock companies for the
breeding and training of first class trot'
ting horses. Looking at this last with
the scrutinizing eye of commerce, there
must be a money recompense in this
branch or it would not be so popular or
inviting, as men of business are not apt
to adopt or continue in anything In
which money is lost.
Another feature is that it affords an
elegant and fascinating recreation TO the
fatigued and wearied mind and body,
consequent upon busy business life.
Then, too, comes the incentive of possi-
BILE fame and distinction in breeding and
owning an Allerton, Sunol, Direct, Mel
son, Nancy Hanks, or some other distin-
guished number that may be able to
split the seconds low down and ulti
mately touch the two minute mark.
These are few of the many reasons for
the rapid spread of the trotting industry,
and that the wave is far reaching and
sure to pervade the great and prosperous
west, is as certain as that it has already
tounched and taken root in some of our
most conservative eastern states, that.
fifteen We rs ago, were great grain and
meat producing centers.
The results are before US, we have
only to look backward a few short years
and any of us can read the causes that
have producep the changes. By reading
the plain signs of the times that are be-
fore us, we can but concede the merit of
the speed breeding material that is rap
idly filling the two great states of Mis-
souri, and Kansas. Such stock for home
use and export trade as will result from
the crossing and proper breeding up of
such families as we nave in the sons of
Electioneer, McGregar, George Wilkes,
Egbert, and other famous sires, that
form the basis in the line of breeding
material upon which the success of the
future horse industry of the west and its
value largely depends.

1t is generally conceded that the death
of Parnell opens the way for the unifica-
ton of the Irish people which, with all
his acknowledged ability as leader he
failed to secure in his life, but it leaves
unsettled the question of leadership. The
Irish people will most likely be as much
divided on that question as they were in
feelings and sentiments toward Parnel.
There is one man who will be strength
ened in his lead of the Irish cause, how
ever, and that is Gladstone. For him as
a central national figure, viewed from
the standpoint of representative of the
United Kingdom, the removal of the
Irish leader was fortuitous event when
the prospects for his immediate future
are considered. For the time being
Gladstone will be looked TO and upon as
the representative of the Irish cause.

KANSAS SUGAR,


We observe by the announcement
from Medicine Lodge that the govern
ment experiments in the production of
sugar at that point are being conducted
on commercial basis. In other words
the government in making its new ex-
periments with the alcohol process is
doing business ike private individual
on an economical and cash basis, and
when the results by the seasons work is
summed up data of value to those who
desire to engage in the business may be
expected. 1t was this character of ex-
perimentation that the Monitor demand
ed when the experiments were first m de
in this city, and we are glad to observe
that the agricultural department has
come to see this practical side of the
question. Any chemist can obtain SUI
gar from an infinite variety of plants.
How to get it so as TO manufacture it
profltably is the problem, and the an
nouncement that Professor Wiley has
been running the government plant at
Medicine Lodge, on a commercial basis
to produce sugar as it would have to he
produced to make profitable business
is the most important announcement
vet made in connection with this prOmis-
ing industry.

The announcement that George Will
lam Curtis, the chief mugwump Of the
country, will support the Republican
ticket in New York this fall is regarded
with suspicion by Republicans generally;
not because the Republican ticket is not a
clean and strong one and worthy of sup
port, but for that reason as much as
anything else. There is something of
an apprehension that Curtis is preparing
to do the Burchard, act at convenient
opportunity. Mr.. Curtis is the sort of
recruit that it is safest to detail for
service in the rear for probationary

WHEAT WOULD TAKE A JUMP.

The grain centers of the country have
been somewhat agitated over the SEEM
ingly reliable rumor that russia will in
few days, through the Cars ukase,
suspend all expectation of wheat. 1t is
thought this step would have been taken
ere this for the relief of his destitute and
starving people but for the fact that the
Gar desired to give Russian dealers time
in which to fill their contracts. If the
rumor should prove true the ordinary
foreign wheatsupply for western Europe
will be cut short from thirty to forty
million bushels and wheat in the mar
kets of the United States would take a
sudden big jump upwards in price, prob
ably anywhere from twenty-five to fifty
cents per bushel. The only way to pre-
serve the life and health of several mil
lion people of Russia is to keep her grain
at home and such action upon the part
of the Gar would seem to be the wisest
craftsmanship and natural duty, not
to say charity. Western Europe would
be compelled to pay a third more for its
bread, maybe, but America would be
proportionately benefited.

Logical Conclusions.

From the Kansas City Times
Jerry Simpsons idea of basing a cur
rencv upon gold and silver in the hills
which has never been mined, if carried
out, would be a great laDor saving
scheme. The miners could stop digging.
Their wages could be paid wi the cur
rency issue Mine owners could declare
dividends with the same money. Car
ried few steps further. farmers might
live upon the richness of thar soil with
out raising any crops.

The Atchison Champion suggest
one way in which the perplexing silver
question can be permanently settled
without in the least disturbing the unit
of values, would be for the government
to fix permanent price of say dollar
an ounce and issue certificates on that
basis and purchase all the silver
that is offered, the certificates
to be made redeemabIe on pre-
sentation in SO many ounces of
bullion. That proposition seems to be
based upon the Alliance government
wharehouse idea and has some other
equally Objectionable features that sug-
gest themselves to the reader.

From the Live Stock Indicator.
The late sale OF Harris & Harris high
bred stallion Combination for $4,000
and the recent reduction of CampbelFs
Electioneer's record adds prestige to
Missouri and Kansas as horse-breeding
states. The fame of Electioneer as a
producer of speed and his speed trans
mitting power, as now demonstrated by
his sons, makes it doubly fortunate for
this part of the west that so grand
representative as this young sire should
have made several seasons near Kansas
City, where there is a considerable num-
Der of well bred mares that have been
bred to him. Those breeders who have

PLEAS ANT WORDS FOR THE EAGLE.

From the Wellington Standard.
We are told by one who processes to know
whereof he speaks that the Wichita EAGLE
now has sufficient subscribers to make its pub
lication profitable, leaving advertisements out
of the calculation. We are glad to hear this.
The daily EAGLE is better newspaper than
some which are published in thickly settled
communities where 10000 lists are possible
and umerous. The EAGLE publishes the fun
morning press report and covers its large local
field very thoroughly. 1t has become neces-
sity in many homes and we are sincerly pleased
to know it has grown into financial success.
1t was built up and established in the face OF
the hardest and tightest times ever encount-
cred in Kansas and its present position is i'm
pregnab1e. 1t is an enduring monument to
the energy and business foresight of the Muir
docks, who fought against heavy odds in its
establishment. The Standard admires pluck
and energy even though it may be misdirected
in perpetuating Republican institutions.

A Chicago official accepted present
Of $3.50 gold watch, and Chicago's
mayor is indignant. "No police official
and no other city employee" he said,
should accept presents from any one.
1t is utterly improper, for the presents
are not given usually out of friendship,
but with the ulterior motive of putting
the official under obligations, and dexpect-
ing him to return the favors at the sac
rifice of duty" The mayor is correct;
but if that rule should obtain generally
what scattering of figures there would
ha
