WHEAT FOR EXPORT.

| 1t is no longer matter of doubt that
the wheat crop this year is unprece-
dented. The best authorities place
! the estimate at about five hundred aud
forty million bushels. The crop Of last
year was only 800, 600, coo, and that Of
| the year before about four hundred and
ninety million bushels. 1t is estimated
that about three hundred and fifty-fve
| million bushels including fifty-tive mil
lion for seed, will be required for home
! consumption. The remainder, one hun
bred and eighty-tive million bushels,
plus the estimated surplus left over
from last year, OF 20,OOO.0OO bushels, or
q total Of 205. 900, 600 bushels. will be ex-
ported, if market for SO much can be
found.
European estimate show an alarming
decrease in the wheat yield in those
countries that usually produce sur
plus. 1t is found that Russia will not
be able to export of this years crop to
exceed 10000, 900 bushels The average
export OF wheat from that country for
the past five years was 90,000,000 The
shortage in the rye crop, also. has
moved the Russian government to for
bid the expectation OF any part Of that
cereal. The surplus wheat producing
countries of Europe will have about
ninety million bushels to sell, while the
non-wheat raising countries OF the con-
tinent viii need 37l,00O,OG1. This
leaves a deficiency of 2S6,000, 900 bush
els to be supplied by other than Euro-
pean countries. India is credited with
a surplus OF %, OJO,0 600 bushels, Austria
liza, Egypt. South America and Canada
with about fifty million. This leaves
203, 600. 900 for the United States to sup
ply to the European market. That she
will be able to meet the demand is De
yOnd a doubt. Her wheat may not
bring a high price, owing to the fnan-
cial and commercial depression exist
ing in Europe, but fair price may be
expected. The time is not far away
when that fifty or sixty millions ofgold
that went to Europe a few months ago
will begin to flow back again, and
bring relief to tight money market.
Thus does it happen that agriculture is
the salvation OF the country. the only
agency that is able to counterfeit in part
the effect of wicked and misguided leg
isIa+ion

land monopoly. even in aliens, if they
are given limit for holding land. Say
that six years is allowed an alien who
acquires land in any way-either by
purchase, foreclosure or descent-what
danger is to be unprecedented from this
source? No loan company wants to
take land for its debts: but allowing
that they do, as the champions OF the
Gossett alien law contend-allowing
that they lend money on land with the
Interior purpose Of getting possession
OF the land, the law as it now stands
can be so modified as to do away with
that pretended danger. Give the loan
companies six years to get rid of all Of
their foreclosed properties. No man
will be foolish enough to claim that
corporation or individual will try to
build up great real estate monopoly
when he can hold it for no longer time

PRIDE should not stand in the way Of
right and justice. Those members OF
the legislature who voted for the Cos
sett amendment should frankly admit
that the hurry OF closing hours pre-
vented them from knowing what they
did. The alien land law as it stands
has too much Of woe in ii to Texas for
any man TO permit pride to stand in the
way of an amendment of the law. The
law as it stands is the cruelest law ever
enacted and defended.

THE Fort Worth GAZETTE has sought to
create the impression that it was the friend
and representative of West Texas But
West Texas papers approve the alien land
law almost unanimously, while The Ga
ZETTE is wildly mad in its opposition to it,.
Possibly The GAZETTE feels more Soiicitude
for the corner lots in Fort Worth which
are covered with mortgages in fore @u''
loan companies than it does for the settle
Ineut Of the West by actual settlers.-IT Ter
rel IimeS-Star.
THE GAZETTE seeks TO create no i'm
pressions. What this paper does for
West Texas is matter OF record.
Eight and 10 per cent money is needed
to develop West Texas, and the Gossett
amendment would carry the state back
10 the old days of from p to 60 per cent
money. 1t may suit East Texas views
TO hamper West Texas in this way, but
The GAZETTE fails to see it Us a good

UNCLE DAN'L's Houston Age says
the Texas railroad commission is a
monster trust" The phrase is not
original with Uncle Daniel, owing its
application to Maj. Michael Looocan,
who is outraged in mind because the
commission will not let the roads charge
a man as much for hauling a load Of
freight fifty miles as for hauling it go
miles.
The phrase is not bad one, nor is it
misappIied. The commission is a
monster trust" It is trust, or rather
a trustee, for 2,50O,O0o people in Texas,
to care for their welfare and protect
them from greediness and exaction
against which they were powerIess.
That's the kind OF trust the railroad
commission Is.

TIE mixing of Spanish and American
names in Texas makes some ludicrous COM
binationS. For instance, the Brazos river.
''Brazos' means the arms" Therefore,
when we speak Of the mouth of the Brazos
1t IS the same as saying 1.-The mouth of the
arms. - [Greenville Banner.
The English language is full OF such
apparent contradictions. The express
sion "a steel pen or "a gold pen" is q
case. Pen is from the Latin ''penna,"
q feather. Il was correct enough to
name such a writing instrument pen
when il was made from from the quill
OF a feather, but now that we make the
same instrument OF steel it is little
homogeneous to keepon calling it pen.

THE Fort Worth GAZETTE prints biting
criticism Of Judge Terrell, who voted for
the alien land law and defends it. Every
body jumps on Terrell he's such an easy
mark Why doesn't THE GAZETTE say 4
few words about Hogg, who recommended
the law and signed iti-[Waco Day.
The Day cannot point to a word in
any Of Governor Hogs messages or
utterances, official or unofficial, recon-
mending the alien land law as it now
stands. In signing the law he did only
a duty that he could not escape from,
except by putting up his judgment
against the judgment Of the legisla
ture. Neither before the passage Of
the law, nor since, has Governor Hogg
said anything to indicate that he favors
the exclusion Of foreign money from
Texas. The Day knows this to be
true.

Dishonoring Drafts.

There are too many retailers who are in
juring themselves irreparably by refusing
to honor drafts that are drawn upon them
Tor bills that are due. There are few things
that will arouse wholesaler to a state OF
greater disgust toward customer than to
have 4 draft that has been honestly drawn
returned unpaid. An account is overdue,
and statement is sent which says that
unless Il remittance is made before 4 GER
tain date a draft will be drawn for the
amount. No attention is paid to this,
which the wholesaler takes as meaning
that the draft will be hOnOred, and cOnse-
quently when the time allowed has elapsed
2 draft is made, only 10 be returned in nine
cases out OF ten without a comment. 1t is
not only an unbusinesslike transaction,
but it is a positive insult to the wholesaler
TO treat his requests in such a manner.
Frequently the most trivial and absurd eN
cuSes are given for dishonoring drafts.
claim of fifty or seventy-tive cents for
freight if the goods were to be delivered,
or a similar amount for damaged goods or
something of the kind; but even allowing
that the claim may be just one, is it not i
thousand times better and more honorable
to pay the full amount of the draft, notify
the house Of the slight Discrepancy or over
looked rebate, and politely request an adj
iustmcnt? There isn't respectable house
IN the country that wouldn't see that the
claim met with an immediate recognition.
Retailers fail to appreciate the annoyance
it gives TO wholesalers, as well as to banks,
by having drafts returned when they are
rightfully due and should meet with prompt
acceptance and payment To say that you
have written" or will settle with their
