Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1891-01-22

The grist of Australian ballot bills
that has gone into the Legislative hop
per this month is something to make
the advocates of that method of vot-
ing smile all over There is probably
not a Legislature now in session
which has not got this subject before
it i'll some shape or other In States
where two years ago bills enacting
the system We're allowed to lie on the
table with scarcely any notice, it is
now the most interesting subject.
Men who we're formerly opposed to it
are found heartily in favor of 1t to-
day. The result will be that an Aus
tralian ballot law will be in force in
nearly every Northern State before
the next Presidential election. In
States where the method has al
ready been adopted amendments are
being considered so as to simplify and
render it more practical.

HOSPITAL DIRECTORS CONFIRMED.

The Directors of the Hazleton Hospi-
tai were confirmed in the Senate to-
day. but not without vehement protest
from Senator Hines against what he
termed a partisan board, there being but
one workingman on it.

THERE are over 2000 vessels in the
lake fleet Of the United States, with a
carrying capacity Of $4,000 tons and
value of 100000. More than
one-half Of these vessels are propelled
by steam, and their freight capacity
has been trebled in the last ten years.
This is the fruit of unrestricted trade
between the States, and it is also a
guarantee of cheap transportation be
tween the West and the sea board.
When our Government and the Cana
dian Government shall get tired of
quarreling about fish, and Of playing
the fool by establishing hostile tariffs,

WORLDS WHEAT CROP.

ConsumptiOn COMPUTED.

1t Is Almost Certain to Fall Below the
Consumption Computed.
LONDON, April The Standard pub
fishes a long and careful review OF
the agricultural outlook, in the course
of which it says that the steady rise in
wheat revives the hopes OF the Eng
lish farmer, addirg that wheat will
probably reach the highest price in
many years, the principal cause of the
rise being the failure of foreign crops.
The wheat crops of France and Russia,
according TO the Standard are much
below the average, and the same paper
says the deficiency will be at least
20 900, 900 quarters, adding:
1T is expected that cold winds and frosts
have almost destroyed the French crop. Ger
many Holland and Belgium all furnish
pessimtst reports In Roumania there
is a decreased wheat area and in In
da there has been a bad wheat season
The only exception is Hungary, where there
are better prospects: but it is almost certain
that the worlds wheat consumption will ex
coed the production computed. Whatever the
magnitude Of Americas crop may be il will
not be sufficient to cover the European deficit
thus compelling an extensive draft upon the re-
serves for the third year liz succession.
The increased home consumption, the de.
creased wheat area owing to the spread OF
population and recourse to scientific tillage in
order TO repair the waste OF first settlers. thus
increasing the cost Of production, must in
evitabiy remove the American farmers formid-
able competition in European markets and al.
