Distressful Crop Failures Reported All
Over Europe.
A prominent Kansas City dealer in
grain, A. X. French, contributes an ar
ticle to the Star on the wheat product of
the world in which his arguments and
figures are in wonderful accord with
those contained in the more exhaustive
articles contributed by Mr.. c. Wood
Davis to the EAGLE. We reproduce Mr.
French'S article entire. as follows:
~ brilliant prospect lies in the near
future for the farmers of this country.
4 situation cOnfronts them which has
never been equaIed. \ great wheat crop
is being harvested, one which promises
to surpass anything ever grown in the
United States. And there exists I'M
doubted assurances that values shall eX-

crop"
We shall have short crop prices with
a big croD to market. The situation
abroad more than justities this assertion.
II the farmer 0lil read up daily and
carefully the careal condition in Europe,

pare them with our own he viii wonder

prices here

ride the idea of any serious damage 10
foreign Crons and assert with holiness
that we shall have ample surplus 10 sup
ply European needs with plenty spare:
that we shall be hunting for buyers IN
stead of BUYERS calling for our surplus.
Next to the United sta es IN is produc-
ton Of wheat comes France. France
has been a large buyer OF wheat in the
United States for the past three months,
buying heavily for shipment for every

BUT TWO PARTIES IN KANsA AS.

In humiliating remembrance OF the
| way their party was swallowed and
| otherwise utilized as fodder by the ALI
ance last fall the state central committee
few days since issued an encyclical
warning to the mass and muSs that
make up the uncertain aggregation
known as the Democratic party of Kan
sas. The committee assuming that such
a party still existed emphasized their
conclusion that nothing was to be gain
ed by any further alliance with the Alli-
ance, referring to the great sacrifices the
party has made in the recent campaign,
for altogether the most pitiful and insig-
nificant array of loaveS and fishes that had
ever been vouchsafed so hungry crew.
TheDemocratic party inpretending tohold
the bag for resubmissionistS had in reali-
ty been taken in as so many snipes by a
party whose leaders were unable to de-
fine the difference between a fiat stamp
and dollar Of the daddies. In corrall-
ing county officer here and there the
great party of Jefferson and Grover had
been practically aunihilated in the state
of Kansas and left less than nothing.
The thing must not occur again. Dem
ocrats were urged to stand forth indepen-
dent and untrammeled, to buckle on the
armor for the fight of 1892 when things
will be things or when they won't.
But an unexpected exigency has
arisen. The Alliance, ignoring the squeal-
ing Of its victim, through its organ, the
Advocate, announces to its faithful that
the fusion between the Peoples party
and the Democrats of Kansas must not
be abandoned. The di5agreeable fact
stares that paper in the face that the Al
lance without the help Of the Democ-
racy would be nowhere The Alliance
leaders know that Robinson's vote last
fall consisted almost wholly of Resub-
Observation-Disclosures, the Democrats
having practically in a body voted for
the Alliance, in state and congressional
nominees. The Democrats got few
county officers while the Alliance got
the congressman and the United States
senator out of the fusion. No wonder
the Advocate is still for fusion. The
Democratic state central committee
would save the mossback party from an
other such one sided game but the greed
of the county organizations will not lis
ten to it. The result will be that there
will be in this falls fight in Kansas prac-
tically but two parties, the Republican
and the Fusion. The Fusionists will
probably head their ticket with the
word Peoples" but for the most part
the nominees of that ticket will be either
acknowledgements or Democrats
straight. No true Republican will be
left in doubt as to how he ought to vote.

Notwithstanding the strict orders of
the prison officials not to admit news
paper reporters to the electrical execu-
ton of the four criminals in Sing Sing
prison Tuesday morning, the said re-
porters were near by, near enough to
get pretty full account of the occur
renee and give it to the public. And
whatever their source of information,
the execution was evidently successful,
being free from the bungling incidents
that attended the killing of Kemmler at
Auburn some time ago.

Whatever may be said Of Maj. McKin-
ley's ideas in regard to governmental
policy, it can not be said of him that he
is an unfair politician or demagogue.
The statements made by him, as given
i'll yesterdays dispatches from Pittsburg,
show that he is fair and honorable in his
illusions and dealings with his political
opponent. 1t is gratifying to see such
evidences of determination to eschew
personalities and omit mud Singing dar-
ing the coming campaign in Ohio. The
contest is to be one Of principles, not of
personalities.

The Berlin papers are devOting some
space to a discussion Of the new phenom-
enon presented bv the fashion of women
riding astride in the style of male eques-
trians. This custom is so plainly grow

wonder among the populace OF the capt
tai to see lady riding man fashion

al frowned upon by the upper classes

It's adoption seems 10 have taken root.

Among the reforms recently inaugur-
ated In the police regulations of Chicago
was an order to remove all distractions
from the sidewalks, including awnings
and sign posts. A State street restau-
ranteur was compelled to remove a lamp
post from the pavement in front of his
place, and in return he had erected a
slender pole about twelve feet in height,
to the top of which was securely nailed
small United States flag. On the pole
was tackled a card which read: Il defy
Commissioner Aldrich or his whole gang
to tear down that flag" Quite a crowd
gathered around it and the joke was
very extensively appreciated. What the
outcome was has not been stated.

than all the grasshopperS and drouths
with which she was ever afflicted
PETER, who then spelled his name
Peiffer, threw himself in statistical
article of great vehemence in which he
exposed the falsity of Galloway's figures.
This same PETER and Peiffer now multi
plies Galloway's figures by about two
and swears to 'em for fifty dollars a
night for any audience east or west will
ing to pay the stipend. PETER or Peiffer

Rhode Islands Blind Genius.

From the Albany Argus.
The blind genius of Rhode Island,
Herreshoff, who has produced such
marvels in ship building. seems to nave
made revolution in yatchs. 1t was con-
sidered that his speciality lay in steam
vessels, since the queer looking Stilletto
created such surprise on the waters of
New York Bay. II was said that the
blind inventor could not duplicate such
a wonder His reply was the production
of steam vatchs still faster than the
Stiletto. To prove his theory more con-
elusive he has built a cutter according in
many respects to the English cutter
type. without the Centerboard, and has
eclipsed all other experiments in yatch
building. The blind genius of Rhode
Island should be secured by the navy de-
partment 10 make designs for its new
cruisers.

that the so-called .:old crowd" is going

The Atlanta Constitution SAYS that the
Georgia planters now raise cotton at an
actual loss of several cents per pound.
The trouble is not so much in the made
quacy of price in proportion to the legiti
mate cost of its production, as it is with
the system in vogue. As stated in these
columns few days ago, the cotton
planter is behind, on the average, a full
season; that is he consumes the crop
while producing it. This credit system
necessarily makes everything cost the
cotton raiser about 80 per cent more than
if purchased for cash, and this extra
cost takes away all the profit there is in
the crop. And cotton being the only
crop they can grow upon which ad-
vances can be had, the farmers are in a
measure forced to continue its produc-
ton.
