TIE WHEAT CROP.

There will be ample demand for
American wheat over the water. but it
is believed there has been considerable
eXaggeration of the shortage, especially
in Russia. The most accepted informa-
ton is that there will be 64,OOO,O 900
bushels for export, which is about
third less than the average of the past
four years. But there is reduction in
all the wheat sections of Europe, and
not much is expected from India, or
elsewhere, except the United States.
The Northwest can only be prevented
from harvesting crop much in advance
of all former years by the most improb-
able natural freaks. There are diversi-
fed statements of the results of the
harvest in Kansas, although the crop is
the best for years; but the Red river
valley is likely to crowd the railroads
more than any other section.

THE EDITORIALS FUNCTION.

The reason of all this is that Mr..
DANA and Mr. WATTERSON aim in gen
eral not to direct but to reflect popular
opinion IN their editorial utterances.
The personal element, to be sure, enters
more or less into what they write: but,
emitting the things they say for the
qualification of personal spite, Mr..
WATTERSON and his associates, with
much directnesS and color, portray the
ideas of the best men in his section, as
they would express them if they had his
capacity; and Mr.. DANA after the same
fashion, but with less picturesQueness
and more subtlety, voices a feeling
which exists in the community and
which is grateful to him for giving it
utterance.
Nobody, for example, who knows Mr..
DANA at all, could believe that his
QuiXotic advocacy of Gen. Buffers
candidacy in 1884 was actuated by any
sincere desire to secure his election.
Gen. BUTLER, of course. could not be
elected, nor for that matter, get single
electoral vote; and the editor of the Sun
understood this as well as the rest of the
world. But as the campaign progressed
there appeared on the surface, first, a
great wave of popular dissatisfaction
with the nomination of Mr.. BLAINE.
Then towards midsummer there came a
widespread feeling that Mr. CLEvE-
LAND was not proper candidate, which
grew very rapidly and drove many VIII o
had at first declared against him back to
the Plumed Knights side. Finally, in
the fall, the country was filled with men
who were unwilling to vote for either
nominee. and who drifted helplessly
about, resolved to keep away from the
polls. and yet haunted by the thought
that it was their duty as citizens to ex-
ercise the right of suffrage which the
law had given them.
This discomfort, uncertainty and dis
approval the Sun pic tured in the stand
it took at this time. 1t attacked Mr..
BLAINE because he was Republican
and a dishonest one. 1t attacked Mr..
| CLEVELAND because people said he was
a coarse man of the world. [. urged
the claims of Gen. BUTLER because a
man had to vote for some one, and the
hero of New Orleans was better than
| the PrOhibitionist from Kans as. 1t did
not seek in all this to persuade people
to this course, because a delicious tone
of insincerlty and carefully cloaked
burlesque pervaded its most serious
leaders. But it gathered and crystal
lied into coherent expression senti-
ments with which it found the air about
it charged. 1t did not create new forms
of thought, bnt it sought to reflect those
which were already in existence.

should be anything in this obnoxious
to the other sex or prejudicial to matri-
mony. but this may be due to misin-
formation or its absence. But this is
the apparent impression. There was
an elopement recently by member
of this class with a fellow stu
dent, with matrimony as the end.
There were no incOngruities and no OPP
position to the alliance. The conse-
quent Interpretation. then, was to ad-
vertise the fact that the wearer of the
divided skirt in its full development
was still lOvable and elopable OBJ iect;
in fact, that no barrier to matrimony
was raised in this way. A great deal
of local enthusiasm was developed, and
the feeling was manifest that the men
tai poise useful in the matrimonial
turbulence was indicated in the avowed
devotion to the dress reform,

MEETING WITH FAVOR.

The legislatures Of this and several
other states at the late sessions made
provision for investigation of the Aus
tralian scheme for the transfer of land
titles that bears the name of TORRENS,
a citizen of South Australia, who is
likely to have his name transmitted to
the coming ages as the inventor of the
plan. 1t is believed that no state has
yet gone beyond the interrogative point.
So far as there are indications the in
formation gathered as to the practical
operation of the method is favorable.
In one of the monthly publication s,
Prof. jerks, Of the Indiana university,
gives some account of its standing in
the countries that have adopted it.
ToRRENs devised it in 1888, and his
part of Australia was induced to adopt
it. Most of the divisions of that land
have since adopted it with some changes
from tine original. 1t has ais o come
into use in British COlum bia, Ontario
and Manitoba.
I'm all cases. writes Prof. jerks. 1t has
been found TO be in practice even more ben
eticial than was claimed 10y its advocates
Generally there has been no co mpulsiOn re-
garding the application of the system TO in
dividual titles, except in case OF land bought
from the government; tut when the system
has become known il Is usual for purchasers
10 insist upon TorTens title before buying
A usual effect of the system is to raise the
value of all land brought under it,
Massachusetts was the first legislature
in this country to appoint a commission
to report on the system; and as that
state has an annual legislature. it will
probably be the first TO take action if it
is favorably presented by the commits
sion. 1t will not be surprising if its
pro gress shall be similar to that of the
Australian ballot reform. 1t involves SO
considerable change that it will be
well to gather information in regard to
Its operation under varied conditions.

Other fancies must be put aside, and he
is married to the lady by the pontiff on
the spot. This seems to the American
mind abrupt, and rather unsentimental.
But in Spain courtships are conducted
at long range, and under such suryeil-
lance that there can be little personal
knowledge. 1t is not particularly in
sisted that marriages of this kind are
less desirable and satisfactory than
others. Nor does it appear why the
government should manifest any spe-
cial concern in the matter. 1t would
hardly be the thing III this country.

North. the Nitrate King.

San Francisco Letter.
Col. North, the nitrate king, has a
daughter Emma, to whom he gave
950O,OO0, and told her to marry whom
she liked. All the young sparks in Chilli

probably end by being at least a duch-

to be called when knew him, AIRY"

not understand our laughter at his
greenness. North gave Harry $4,000
on his twenty-first birthday. and told
him to have Jolly spree" [ believe

NOT AN OBSTACLE.

The stoppage of the JENNEss- MILLER

evidence that the divided skirt device
in the female equipment had gone with
the bloOmer and other more or less "a
tionaI changes in the dress of women.
Information is had that the reform has
really been adopted quite extensively,
and usually without revelations. 1t

IN THE WINGS.

Jacob Lifts Stock company opens or the
present week tonight, presenting The
Bankers Daughter" a six-act come drama
by Bronson Howard, who is probably our
most successful American playwright the
play is one dealing with III 0dern society char
acters and an interesting story is built upon
a weIl-conceived and wOrked-out plot There
is an excellent vein of bright, crisp comedy
permeatng' the entire six acts, all of which
are full of strong dramatic scenes and situa-
tons. This was the earliest Of Bronson How
ards plays to attain what was considered an
unusual run in New York it having made
an instantaneous hit when first pre-
scented mt the Union Square the
a.er. and SO great was its pop
ularity at that playhouse, which was then
under the management of Sh oOk & Palmer,
that its presentation ran up into the humid
reds. 1t has been an acknowledged success,
and time las not detracted from its dramatic
worth. It's characters are drawn from mod
ern society life, and some OF the climaXeS
are most intense in their conception and
dramatic construction. The cast will include
all of Mr. Lifts excellent company, which
has demonstrated its ability i'll the other
plays that have been selected for the sum
mer stock season, and from such strong
company for the presentation of play of
such strength as The Bankers Daughter"
finished and enjoyable performances can
not but be the result of next weeks work at

hurt in making his descent in parachute,
as has been narrated in these columns. He
took up small dog strapped to diminutive
parachute and when 1900 or more feet from
the earth he cut doggie loose and he came
sailing down and landed in the park field.
The circumstance brought to mind the story
of the AERIAL gymnast, which is certified g
by several witnesses. A year ago balloon
ascension was made daily at this park and
dog was taken up each time. When the dogs
were let loose they darted off in a wild run
and their owners have never seen nor heard
