President Lincoln's Habits.

The president rose early, as his sleep
was light and capricious In the sum-
mer, when he lived at the Soldiers
home, he would take his frugal break
fast and ride into town in time to be at
his desk at o'clock He began to re-
ceive visits nominally at 10 o'clock, but
long before that hour struck the doors
were besieged by anxious crowds,
through whom the people of Importance,
senators and members of congress, ell
bowed their way after the fashion which
still survives On days when the cab
met met, Tuesdays and Fridays, the
hour of noon closed the interviews of the
morning. On other days it was the
presidents custom at about that hour to
order the doors to be opened and all who
were waiting to be admitted.
At luncheon time he had literally to
run the gauntlet through the crowds
who filled the corridors between his Of
fee and the rooms at the west end Of the
house occupied by the family. The
afternoon wore away in much the same
manner as the morning; late in the day
he usually drove out for an hours air
ing; at o'clock he dined
He was one of the most abstemiOus of
men; the pleasures of the table had few
attractions for him. His breakfast was
an egg and cup of coffee; at luncheon
he rarely took more than biscuit and a
glass Of milk, plate of fruit in its sea
son; at dinner he ate sparingly of one or
two courses. He drank little or no wine;
not that he remained always on prin-
ciple total abstainer. as he was part
of his early life in the fervor of the
Washingtonian" reform, but he never
cared for wine or liquors of any sort and
never used tobacco.-Col. John Hay in

The above estimates, if erroneous is so
| by reason of its making the shortage of
wheat and rye too little and in estimat-
ing the valuable supplies too highly.
Russia is included among the import
ing nations not because it is expected
that she Will become large importer (as
supplies are not to be had) but to show
what are the worlds needs as well as the
utter fallacy of expecting exports of
wheat from a country where all the
food which will exist will be insufficient
for domestic requirements by not less
than go, ZOO, 900 bushels. 1t is not prob
able that when the wheat and rye crops
have suffered such destruction that
those Of the other cereals have escaped,
and while little is said about those of
barley, oats and maize it is altogether
probable that Russian exports Of those
grains-which have averaged about
l20. 000, 900 bushels of late years-wiil be
suspended for the year, as whatever of
these grains may be produced Will be
needed at home to sustain human and
animal life.
Eliminating Russia from the problem
either as a source Of supply-which she
cannot be-or as an importer. the re-
mainder of Europe would still be short
800, 900, 600 bushels OF wheat and rye
after the outside world has sent to that
continent every bushel that can be-
spared. V hat does this portends Is it
possible TO conceive the unutterable mis-
erv and distress, deSolatlon and distress
which a famine of such proportions Is
likely to bring in Its train: Is not
Europe face to face with a state of want
such as has never threatened so great a
population since the dawn of history:
Has man ever witnessed starvation upon
the scale which is probable as the result
of this continent-wide destruction of
crops:
On all the earth there Is but enc sub
stitute possible for the deficient rye aud
wheat; but one means of preventing even
in part the devastation threatened. and
that Is by the use of American maize.

Ii there are ships enough on the sea 70

the 80, U00. 900 bushels OF wheat which
we may squeeze out, but hundreds OF
millions also OF our corn. and the dis

Hon. Harrison Kelly, OF the Fourth
congressional district, has renowned his
lifelong allegiance TO the Republican
party and announces that he Is hence
forth a third party man. The reason he
assigns for this change of party affilia-
ton is because the Republican party
failed 10 pass the force bill In view of
the enthusiastic support Mr.. Kelly gave
that measure when 1t was before con
gress, and the we'll known attitude of
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS party to-
wards it, Mr.. keily's declaration on the
subject can only be construed as a recan-
tation and half apology TO the country
for advocating the passage Of the bali.
Well, if Gen. Kelly can afford TO thus
act, the Republican party can afford TO
lose him.

Harrison Kelley has quit the Repub-
lican party: that is settled He also
says he will hereafter act with the Third
party. But he stih advocates the force
bill, which the new party repudiates.
and he denounced the sub-treasury and
land-loan schemes, which are the chief
features of the Third party's declaration
of principles. Harrison Kelley would
never be content to figure as a dead head
in any enterprise that he might engage
in. In view of all these facts and condi-
tlons, therefore, his declaration of inten-
ton raises an issue on the threshold of
the Third party over his admission to
full membership therein. With the firm
stand taken by the new party against
compromises of every sort and with
whomsoever it is clear that the ex-
Republican ex-congresSman will have TO
do some more recanting before he is
incongenial companionship.

Mr.. Blaine's Mistake.

From the Lawrence Journal.
How foolish it is for the Democratic
papers to run each day that paragraph
which they allege Blaine wrote declar-
ins the Mckinley law would not make a
market for bushel of wheat or a poun !
of meat. Already the markets of the
world are opening to us under the pro-
visions of the bill, and every man who
reads Democratic newspaper knows it,
The Democratic papers are driven to
such straits that they cannot even make
up good lies any more.

gave the New York Sun credit for pro-

Mr.. C. Wood Davissof this county, for it
was an article from his pen upon the
wheat situation throughout the world
that appeared in the Sun that induced
the rise. Mr.. Davis uses much of the
same data IN the communication we

PETER and his gang are saying all over
the country that Kansas, if sold under
the hammer, would not sell for enough
to pay the Indebtedness of the people.
When it it is understood that PETER sizes
up the ability of the people of Kansas to
pay or buy by his own impecuniosity, his
declaration will not occasion any sur
prise. There is no excuse for such ig-
norance on his part if it be insisted that
he is sincere in his statements, for it has
been automatically stated, time and
again, that the mortgage Indebtedness
