North American Review.

The August number of the Review con-
tains a large number of timely subjects. In
view of the movements of the squadron OF
evolution all readers will turn to the article
by the Hon. ]. Russell Solely, Assistant Sec
rotary of the Navy, estimating the value Of
sham battles on the sea.
The rapid advances made by trades-uniOns

paper by Lady Dixie, the wife of Sir Charles
Dixie.
Under the head of Pensions and Patriot
ism" the Commissioner of Pensions writes
in defence Of the liberality shown by the
United States in dealing with veterans Of
the army and navy.
A very remarkable article is contributed
by the Hon. Charles A. Dana, editor of the
Sun, describing the extraordinary career of
a spy. Mr.. Dana occupies so much attention
as a Journalist that some of our readers may
have forgotten that he was at one time Assis-
tant Secretary of War, After serving fifteen
years as Mr.. Greeley's chief Of staff on the
Tribune Mr.. Dana resigned that position,
and was at once employed by Secretary
Stanton on special work of importance for

his accurate perception and just estimates of

WE publish the Chancellor's decision
in the Tax List Case of New Castle
county, and we fail to see how he arrives
at his conclusion. The case was simple
enough and should have been decided in
such manner that no quibbling could
follow as to his exact meaning. The
collectors received money for the taxes
Of nearly four thousand people and gave
receipts for each individuals tax; they
then returned as delinquents these same
names, and before it was discovered the
Levy Court allowed them. Then the
Levy Court proposed to correct its part
Of this error by restoring all of those
names, so far as possible, to the duplicate
and.maze theicollectors pay over to the
county treasurer the money they received.
This is simple, and justice to the tax
payers The Chancellor has left the
matter in bad muddle, and the Repub-
licans have forced the Democrats to a
record that will be useful in the next
campaign.

Higher Prices for Wheat.

From Minneapolis, the telegraph re
ports c. A. Pillsbury, one of the largest
wheat growers and millers in America
as having said in an interview on the
subject OF the Farmers Alliance to at
tempt to make corner" in wheat by
having the farmers hold it,
II don't know what effect the circular
will have, but to the extent that the far.
mers do not market wheat too rapidly, to
that extent they will get better prices.
The statistical portion is very strong.
Take the shortage Of wheat alone in Eu-
rope, they would require more than we
will be able to give them, even on the
largest estimates Of our crops.
Besides the immense grain shortage in
Europe there is a shortage in the rye
crop, which, according to my correspon.
dentists as high as 1000, 800 bushels in
Russia and 5000, 600 bushels in Ger.
many. As rye is the food of nearly all
the people Of Northern Europe, 1 don't
see what else there is to make up the de
hciency Of the rye crop except large
amounts Of wheat.
- The only country that practically ex-
ports rye is Russia, and according to in
formation have received from the Con-
sui at Odessa, Russia has not produced as
much rye as she usually consumes by
about 25o,ooo,ooo bushels. This, taken
with 100000 shortage in Germany,
which never exports rye, the situation for
wheat is very strong.
Whoever informed Mr.. Donnelly that
I said wheat was going to sell at 81 a
bushel, and that our company owned
5000, 600 bushels Of wheat, was certainly
very wild in his statements. While
expect to see wheat sell at very much
higher prices, I do not expect It to sell as
high as 81 unless we have a complete
failure Of the crop in the Northwest
There is not half as much wheat in the
Northwest, oil put together, as the amount
stated by Mr. Donnelly.
The millers certainly can make more
money when wheat is high than when It
is too low If farmers are in position
10 get good prices for their new crop it
rests with them to say whether or not
they will do it I don't believe they will
sit up nights and work Sunday to mar
ket their crops at as low prices as the
spectators have made for It. "

posed corner" Of the wheat crop Of the

think that the acts of officials should be held
as sacred as are their private characters; but
we think otherwise and consider their pub

And school matters are something that in
terests every one in a community, from the
babe in its mothers arms to the gray haired
and decrepid old man about to lie down in
the tomb. It interests posterity, and it iu-
terests government, and to that and every

Because as 1 read history, all expert

the labor of its citizens, creates diversi'

at home largely the articles it consumes;
Because believe it to be the duty OF
the Government and wise craftsmanship

Merry Gus Indigestion.

The prime cause of most OF the nervous
disorders and ailments with which humanity
is afflicted may be traced to indigestion.
The irritable man, the unhappy woman, the
fretful child, contrive to make all around
them miserable. They dose themselves for
nervousness, and perhaps find temporary
relief, only to grow more nervous when the
inevitable reaction comes. 1t is in such
cases that S. S. S. gives almost immediate
relief It builds up the entire systom puri-
fes the blood gives tone to the digestive
organs, restores the functions of the stomach
gives activity to the liver and puts all the
nerves in tune with health and good humor
It is natures great remedy, and never fails
