THE New York San estimates that
in fifteen years the wheat grown in
the United States will not supply the
home trade. This is a wholesome in
dication, and the Suns prediction is
well based. When this equilibrium
of production and consumption is
reached, the condition of things in
this country will be in about as happy
a state as any civilized nation can
reach, and will fully eXhonorate the
claims always made for protection.

, JUDGE SEVERANCE remarked in his
talk before the legislative committee
at the Normal School last week that
he believes that Republican govern
ment rests on no other foundation
than the education of all the people.
If the judge could secure a sufficient
opportunity to instill a little
of that sentiment into his Democrat
ic neighbOrS over in Wisconsin it
would be a gracious thing.

INVESTIGATE AND SIGN.


A Petition That IL said to be Filled with
Frauduient Signatures.
The way that pardons are secured
for. bad criminals is now receiving Illus
tratlon in petition circulating in this
city for the pardon of one Gaart
Schuur.
About year ago, . dance occurred
at the II. V. X. Hall, on West Leonard
ct. A row occurred there, during which
young Schuur waded in and stabbed q
half dozen companions John Hame-
link was dangerously hurt. and Scbuur
was sent to Iona for three years and .
half for the work.
Now there is IN circulation q petition
for pardon which some Of the sIgners
claim is based upon fraud. The clrcu-
lators say, when they apply for sigma
lures. that the victim Hamelink is de-
sirous of the pardon, and is going TO
sign the petition, but Hamelink SAYS
these representations are fraudulent,
and that he does not desire the pardon
of he assailant. Tony Vlleger told the
Tt1EepAa-HERALD yesterday that he
had been induced TO sign by these
fraudulent representations, and also
says Peter Bote and others have been
r0ped in on the same false pretenses.
Al the parties appear to be ingorans
and unIettered persons. aud there - no
doubt but there is some foul plsyIng

The School Boards arc Too Numerous In
Algoma.
School district number 8 of Algoma
township is in turmoil. The officers
elected at the last regular election of
the school board failed to qualify ac-
cording to law within the succeeding
ten days and the question arose as to
whether they could legally hold the
Office. The officers elect held that they
could but another meeting was called
and q new set OF officers was elected.
The first set of officers ordered the
township treasurer, VIM. Bennett, to
pay no money to the new officers but
he disregarded the order and paid over
the money. The old officers then
attempted TO draw upon him for sim
liar amount and he refused to be drawn
upon. They then petititioned the su-
preme court for q mandamus ordering
Bennett to show cause why he should
not pay them the money allotted to the
district out of the township funds. The
mandamus was issued yesterday and
Bennett is ordered to appear and show
cause on Monday next.
In the meantime each board has
hired a teacher and one faction is in
possession of the school house while the
other Is longing to get their teacher in
and dispossess the other of the office.
