THE BENEFITS TO BE derived from early

in The march stolen by the newly-elected
Farmers Alliance officers on the hold

when they came down at the usual opening

wAsnISeroN, d. c., FEBRUARY 20, 1901.

ONE or THE CUSTOMS of Washington
fashionables is that of marketing for
themselves. Every day one may see great
numbers of stylish equipages drawn up
near Centre Market and in every part of
the building handsomely attired ladies,
followed by livefied footmen are busy
making selections for their hospitable
loards. The arrangement is good one
all around II is good for the market.
men and especially good for the pur-
chasers. Rivalry Is stimulated and the
rewards of excellence are increased But
onr ladies are beset by many difficulties
in this very desirable practice. The road
ways about the market are greatly over
crowded with vehicles and the approaches
10 the building so blocked as to be always
inconvenient Of access, often dangerous
and not infrequently impossible. Itwould
he well If some expedient could be
devised TO remedy this, and IL could
lie by devoting the reservation in
front of the market to the purpose.
The reservation is utterly useless; il is un-
slightly beyond description. There is q
shiny little mudhole in II, utilized chiefly
as receptacle for dead cats and the like,
and the rest of it is daily strewn with
waste paper, old bottles and other varie-
ties of refuse. Some day we hope to see
the whole stretch on the south side of the
Avenue covered by one continuous pub
lie building, running from the foot of
Capitol Hill to the corner Of Fifteenth
+, street, and beyond that only the Mall
with its grass and trees, its fountains and
flowers. We should not therefore like to
see this reservation conveyed absolutely
TO the Market Company. But until that
much.to-be-desired moment arrives, and
as most admirable improvement for the
time being, why cannot this ugly little
blotch be made useful? Why not fill up
the mudhole, remove the forlorn trees,
pave the whole space and turn it
into clean and comfortable plaza,
where carriages can be parked while
their owners are marketing inside.'
Weexpect to see the day when the market,
the depot the lumber yards, the grog
shops and all the structures that now oc-
cupy that part of Washington and make
it hideous will be removed to make way
for buildings and grounds that will render
il lovely and gracious to the eye. But
meanwhile the Government can we'll at.
ford to make this addition to the con.
venionccs of the market, Such an ar.
rangement would cost the Government
nothing, whilst contributing greatly tC
the benefit of the community and of tn,

A GOOD PROSPECT.

The wheat growers of :his coun-
try are very much pleased at the
prospect of an abundant harvest and
good price for their crop. The
prospect of good crop in the wheat
growing regions of the north west
was never better while an almost
entire failure of the crop in various
parts of Europe insures good
price.
A careful review of the agricul-
tural outlook in Europe and other
parts of the world, published by the
London Standard, is accompanied
by the prophecy that wheat will
probably reach higher price this
season than it has attained in many
years. This predictation is predict.
ed upon discouraging reports from
France, Holland, Belgium, Rouma-
MIA, Russia and India. The Stand
ard says that it is almost certain
that the worlds wheat consumption
will exceed the production comput.
ed, and that whatever the magni-
tude of Americas crop may be, it
will not be sufficient to cover the
European deficit.
In regard to the American crop
the Kansas City Star says: "The
acreage in all of the wheat produc-
ing States in America is extraordi-
narily large this season, and the per-
centage of condition is, generally
speaking,hig than is usual at this
season of the year. The cool, damp
weather has been exceeding tavora-
bic to the growth of the plant, and
the same condition has. been destruct-
i've TO the various insects which at
tack the wheat in the early stages of
its development. All of the pres
ent Indications point to an excep-
tionally large yield, and the short
age in Europe promises to create a
demand tor the vast surplus which
will be produced in this country,
barring misfortune between now
and the harvest season. For the
first time IN many years the Ameri-
can farmer eherishes reasonable ass
surance of large crop and at the
sane time the expectation of good
prices. 1t is predicted by the more
sangu;ne prophets that the market
will open for new wheat this year
at not less than S1.10 bushel. The
most pronounced bears do not place
the price below 80 cents, and con-
servative dealer are of the opinion
that it will not vary more than a
few cents either way from 500.

TOMMIE WATSON.

Congressman Tom Watson is
questioning Congressman Crisp's
democracy, and intimates that he
may not vote for him for Speaker.
The Democrats Of Crisp's district
voted for Crisp and we don't see
why Watson can't do the same.
Watson is too bright aud brainy to
resort to such clap-trap denagogu-
cry to win little cheap notoriety.
Didn't Mr.. Watson agree to abide
the Democratic caucus in Washing
ton? If that caucus agrees on Mr..
Crisp for Speaker, does Mr.. Watson
intend to bolt? Crisp's democratic
record on tariff reform stands with
out a blot or blemish.

tesy from the people. His special
train LETT Chattanooga Wednesday
morning, passing through Marietta
and arriving in Atlanta in the af-

rious points and he responded in
speeches of appreciation.
We trust the visit of President
Harrison through the South will
give him correct IDEAS of this Sec
ton politically and materially, and
change his partizan policy and vim
dictive feelings towards our people,
whom he thinks a ''force bill" is
necessary for our government. He
will find our people in the peaceful
pursuits Of various industries, and
whites and blacks moving along in
the even tenor of their way. He
will find our people law-abiding and
loyal to the principles of good gov
eminent, developing the wealth OF
our section and adding to the general
prosperity Of the country. We trust
he will be convinced that this peo-
pie ought not to be disturbed by adj
verse Legislation or by partizan acts
of the administration.
1t is proper that our people should
show him that respect and courtesy
due the high office he fills, and at
the same time maintaining that dig.

ACQUITTED.

Mrs. Ora Mckee, charged with
the poisoning Of Mrs. Wimpee, in
Rome, had her trial the past week
and was acquitted. If the testimony
published in the newspapers was
correctly reported, then how the
Jury could arrive at such conclu-
sion, we do not understand. The
eloquence ofSeab Wright must have
won the sympathy Of the jurors, con-
fused their judgment and softened
their consciences. 1t was proven
that Mrs. Mckee owed Mrs. VIM
pee borrowed money, the notes were
due, the notes were locked in tin
box. 1t was proven that Mrs. Nc
kee bought ''rat poison" that she
gave Mrs. Wimpee peaches, that
Mrs. Wimoee was taken sick imme-
diately after eating them, that Mrs.
Mckee sat up with her at night,
that she gave her egg-nog twice,
each time the egg>nog was pro-
nounced unpalatable, tasted bitter,
it was rejected, the egg-nog was
thrown into bucket of slop, the
COW drank the slop and died. Mrs.
Wimpee died, poison was found in
her stomach. The tin box, contain
ing the notes, was taken by Mrs.
Mckee and she was forced to return
the box. She confessed to Mrs.
Deitz to administering the poison
and fled. She kept her husband in
ignorance of owing the notes and of
the accusation of poisoning and her
intention to flee. She was pursued
and after thirty days, was captured
in Florida and bought back. And
yet in the face of this conclusive tes-
timony and other evidences of guilt
the jury acquits the fair prisoner.
Comment is unnecessary.
