The Maiden Missionary.
Paul Pastnor in Puck.

Paul PdStnor in Puck.
There she goes. with schemes prolific for the
heathen-isled Pacific,
All her soul with pity burning for those far-off
coral shores;
She would have her friends endow a ladies'
school in ChicahaDa,
And establish kIndergartens through the in
dolent Azores.
Now she pleads with you to sign paper in be-
half OF China,
To correct an ancient evil by prize for
larger feet;
And her lovely eyes are swimming while she
speaks Of heather women,
With their shocking scant apparel and the
vulgar food they eat.
Not man has heart to snub her, though she
turns the talk to blubber,
Oily natives Of Kamschatka and the podgy
Eskimos
Or. at limited change of topic, takes you flying
DER the tropic,
To the swarthy son of Atric with bangle
through his nose.
Oh, she looks and speaks so sweetly that she
wins your heart completely,
And her strings of dry statistics chain you
like silken mesh;
You give most profound attention to each sew
eral heather mention,
For her face is like rose-leaf, and your heart
is only flesh.
By and by with fingers taper she presents a
folded paper,
And you spread it out before you with sigh
that sweeps the floor:
Here are victims without number, from a poet
to a plumber,
And you never saw such figures on begging
sheet before.
Up you glance with indecision but you see a
pleading vision
Dewy lips beset with dimpIes, eyes like
sweet unuttered prayers
And with all your spirit burning you set down a
whole weeks earning
To assist some lucky heather up the shining
golden stairs.

Europe Anxious About Bread.

The failure Of the wheat and rye crops in
nearly ell European countries causes feel
ing of uneasiness among the people Of
those countries, and they are watching the
crop reports Of this country with profound
| interest. It is known pretty accurately
how great the deficiency in their wheat and
rye supply is, and they depend upon this
country to make it up. The wheat crop OF
! this country this year is exceptionally
good. 1t is much better than it was
thought it would be when the harvesting Of
it began. But good as it is, it is not suffi-
Gent to meet the wants Of European coun-
tries if the deficiency is anywhere near as
great as it is estimated to be.
According to table published in the New
York Sun the deficiency in this years sup
ply of wheat and rye throughout the whole
world is 600, 600 coo bushels. This estimate
is doubtless too large. Assuming that the
deficit is one-half that emount:sthere is still
reason for anxiety.
Where is the wheat TO come from that is
to supply the wants Of Europel This coun-
try he's large surplus. but not enough to
meet the demand. Its surplus is estimated
to be about 200, 600 900 bushels! There are
other countries which have more than they
need for home consumption, but the amount
which each has for export is comparatively
small.
There is, of course, nothing In the food
situation to justify predictions of famine
in Europe, though in Russia the outlook is
regarded as alarming The government
has forbidden the expectation of grain from
the country, and has adopted measures for
transporting wheat and rye to the districts
in which the peasantry are threatened with
starvation. Money has been appropriated
from the public treasury TO buy wheat for
those sections of the empire where the
people are too poor to purchase it,
While the sufferings Of other peoples are
source of regret, the wheat farmers of
this country cannot help feeling that this
year promises to be a prosperous one for
them. The prices Of wheat aud corn are
certain to advance in proportion as the de-
mand for these breadstuffs increases, and
all the indications are that the demand will
greatly exceed that Of any previous year.
Already the price Of wheat has advanced
greatly, and the wheat farmers are feeling
more prosperous in consequence. Indeed, it
looks as If their prosperity would exceed
that of any one of many previous years. If
this expectation is realized there will be
less beard about hard times In the wheat
growing region and farm mortgages will
cease to be so troublesome.

Explaining the ELDERS Eagerness.

FROM The NeiC YORK AduerttSer Und.l
A San Francisco dispatch credits Col. John s.
Mosby with this statement:
II have learned that Mitkiewicz, the great
Russian count who has foistei himself into
prominence In Chinese schemes. who is an init
mate friend and business partner of ex-senator
Blair and Elliot Shepard of the MdH and Err
press of New York. has served time in Middle
sex jail. London. for robbery"
We feel constrained to say that while Col,
Shepard may have been fascinated by the
Oriental grandeur of Mitkiewicz's schemes, he
was never the partner OF that base imitation of
Montague Tigg. He may have gone so far as to
say that IL the count succeeded in securing
China, with the outlying districts Of Cores and
FormoSa, he would throw in a blessing aud take
half, merely with a view to evangelLzing the
country, but nothing more.

Worried About Gordon.

According to interviews which have ap-
peared in the public prints there are alli-
aucemen who are not altogether satisfied
with Senator Gordon's failure to answer
promptly and directly the question of the
alliance convention as to how he stands
with reference 20 the Ocala platform. 1t is
probable that they had an idea that his
views with respect to the platform had
undergone a change. and that he was
prepared to announce that he favored it.
The letter which the senator wrote In
answer to the inquiry of the convention
shows very clearly that his views with re-
gard to it have undergone no change. Aud
his position when he was elected senator is
we'll known. He opposed the sub-treasury.
And it is safe to say that he is still opposed
to that feature of the Ocala platform. In
that respect he is In harmony with all the
leading democrats Of the country.
Unless the alliance convention had infor-
nation that justified it in believing that his
views had undergone a change it is not easy
to understand why it adopted the resolution
Of inquiry. Did il think him such polit.
ical weathercock as to expect that he had
abandoned his opposition to the sub-treas-
ury plan simply because those who advo-
Gated that plan appear to be in the ascend
ancy in the stated
No doubt the senator would have replied
more pointedly to the inquiry If he had not
desired to address the people at length upon
the issues concerning which he differs with
the alliance He is with the alliance just as
far as a genuine democrat can be, and no
further. No doubt he will explain at an
early day wherein democratic doctrine diff
fers from alliance doctrine.

Prozramme OF Alliance Lead srs.

More than a month ago the MORNING
| News suggested that 1t was the plan OF
s5nne Of the alliance leaders in the southern
states to bring about the Endorsement Oh Gil
the blanks of the Ocala platform py the
democracy OF the south, and that the sug-
gestion had some foundation Is SHOWN ny
the fact that the plan is now beng openly
advocated in certain localities. In some Oh
the southern states it would not be a dlthcuIt
matter to make the plan success. Inc
alliance has very thorough organization
in nearly all the counties Of these states
and it could without much effort control
the election Of delegates to tie state conVen-
tions. Having majority OF tbs state con-
ventions the Endorsement OF the Ocala plat
| form could hardly be prevented.
The Endorsement of that platform would,
of course, be strongly resisted because it
contains planks which the national demo-
cratic party does not, and never will, APP
prove. They are planks which are sup
ported by republicans Of the north as well
as by democrats Of the south, and they are
the foundation upon which the third party
rests.
The idea has been thrown out by demo-
cratic papers which are DESTROYS of curry
ing favor with the alliance, that the entire
Ocala platform is in harmony with demo-
cratic principles. Nothing is further from
the truth. II that platform was in har-
mony with the teachings of the Democratic
party it would have been Endorsed by that
party long ago. But there is not demo-
cratic leader of national reputation who has
Endorsed that platform or admitted that the
Democratic party would indorse it. Quite
a number have expressed their opinion of
it, and all have spoken against it. There
are of course planks in it which are demo-
cratic, but, taken as a whole, it will never
be recognized by the Democratic party.
1t would bs folly, therefore, for alliance
leaders TO insist upon its Endorsement by the
Democratic party in any southern state.
Nothing would be accomplished by such a
course. The national democratic convsn-
ton will speak for the Democratic party.
and to the principles laid down by that con-
vention the Democratic party will have to
conform.
There are alliance leaders in the south
who understand that this is the case.
Hence, they are in favor of the Peoples
party, and if they are to be believed, the
Peoples party has much more strength
in the south than is generally be-
leved to be the case. The MORNING
NEWS, however, believes that they oyer-es-
innate its strength. Many alliancemen, be-
cause they favor the Ocala platform, are
rather inclined to support the Peoples
party, but when the time for voting comes
they will find they are altogether too good
democrats to abandon party that has done
so much for the south, and which is led by
the ablest men in the country. They will
hardly consent to unite with the Peoples
party, which is composed of dissatisfied
democrats aud republicans, and whose lead
ers are men who have attempted to gain the
confidence Of the people and failed.
