That Parade Notice.

EDITOR HERALD II was somewhat sur
prised in my perusal Of yesterdays HER
AID to find you impeled to give an ex-
plsnation Of the origin of the joint parade
notice published in your paper last week.
1t Is, to say the least, sad commentary on
the fair-mindness of our townspeople. that
there should be any necessity for this.
But was not all the talk about the notice
7eaIty much ado about nothing? Nothing
but the sheerest narrow-mindedness would
prompt any person to find fault with it. or
to criticize those whom they supposed to
have originated it. As if the HERALD, the
Columbia Hose company, or Com
issued similar calls heretofore and whose
business is it, anyhow, when the call is
issued in good faith and for laudable
purpose, to bring the matter into question
What's the motive2 Is not the Fourth of
July a universal one in this land Of ours,
and dear alike to every one who accepts
our citizenship? Had the HERALD origi-
mated it, it would have been but another
one Of its progressive moves in the interest
of home enthusiasm and advancement.
Had the Columbia Hose company that has
always labored in the interest of the town
at the most hazardous moments and with so
much personal sacrifice, deserves we'll of
our people in everything the company un-
dertakes to better its condition. He who
furnished the notice to you has no apology
to make, but rather prides in having taken
up What had been overlooked by Others
for there are certain unalienable rights
possessed by all of us in this land of the
free and no irrepressble selfshness or in
tolerance that may crop out here and there
can in the least interfere with well-meant
and appropriate exercises of those rights,

senting this overwhelmingly Repub-
lican state, which, in its legislative
capacity, refused to apportiou the

tion to serve his party at the expense
of the interests of the majority. Mr.,
Pattison may succeed in wooling few
credulous people, but the masses have
him labeled as demagogue of the
first water, man thoroughly in SYM
pathy with political trickery and all
manner of political chicanery provided
its object is to defeat the will of the
people. In evidence of this assertion
we call attention to the fact that he is
in thorough sympathy with the in.

through which the people are abso-
lutely denied a fair and free expression

Sing Sing prison last Tuesday morning.
1t was brought from Sing Sing last even

accompanied by her sister-in-law, called
at the undertsker's and looked upon the
remains.
The body was not as mutilated as
might be expected, while the face show
cd evidences Of the work Of the deadly
current. The cheek bones bore bright
scars about an inch and half to two
inches in length, the edges turning up
and forming ridge. The bridge of the
nose was gone, while discolorations on
the temples showed where the straps had
passed. There was also burn on the
chin about the size Of dime. The head
was shaved. The body was dressed in
the same suit In which Smiler went to

moved.

would take place this afternoon from
the undertaking rooms and that the in

CoRNERING WHEAT.

question that interests farmers is if
wheat can be cornered. Is there money
enough in the world available for specula-
tive venture to corner the wheat of the
world? 1t might not be difficult 10 hold the
wheat of a single State or perhaps of a
single nation, but holding the worlds sup
ply Of wheat is quite another thing. The
solution of the problem depends largely
upon the amount Of wheat a given rise in
price would bring into the market. Under
ordinary conditions India exports from II
to Is per cent of her entire crop. How much
wheat would India export If the price of
wheat in Liverpool should rise 30 per cent?
In considering the effect of a rise in the
price of wheat on wheat corner in Kansas
or California we have only to count freight
charges from the source Of supply to COM
mon center of sale. Wheat would not be
brought from India to Kansas or California,
but to Liverpool, where the surplus of
Kansas and California would find q market.
local corner cannot be made successful
unless 1t controls wheat enough to raise the
price correspondingly in the common center
OF sale. The real condition of the wheat crop
IN India is an important factor in the corner
problem. How much Indian wheat can be
thrown into Liverpool at a certain price?
In regard to the power OF India to export
wheat Mr.. J. Z. O'Conor of the Indian
Commerce and Finance Department saws
that about 30 per cent of the area devoted
to breadstuffs is given to wheat. About 10
per cent of the people make wheat their Or
binary food. When wheat is low the home
consumption increases. The conclusion is
reasonable. therefore, that a considerable
increase in price would bring large amount
OF Indian wheat to market. The wheat
crop Of India is estimated at 10000 tons
greater than last year, but this estimate is
subject to the conditions of harvest Ii the
prospect held out at one time is fully real
lied the estimate may approximate accuracy.
partial deficiency in Russia is admitted.
The extent of this deficiency cannot at pres
ent be closely estimated. 1t is, without
