ABSOLUTELY PURE
ABSOLUTELY PURE
WHEAT CROP ESTIMATE


The last number of Bradstreet s con-
tains some additional information of
great interest concerning the wheat
shortage of the world. wkich has for
some time past been the subject OF
very earnest discussion. About two
weeks ago that journal contained a
review of the situation based upon es-
Inmates made by Beerbohm's Corn
Trade List and other Trustworthy
authorities. in which the worlds net
deiics was placed at -, 900, 900
bushels.
Its last article was prepared by its
London correspondent, William +.
Bear, whose exceptional facilities for
the work in question should give to his
figures especial weight. He deals
more particularly with the European
situation, and his very apparent con-
servatism would indicate that the short
age is much more likely to exceed
rather than fall short of his estimates.
He goes over the situation carefully in
detail and places the total exportable
! surplus of Russia, including Poland,
Austria-Hungary, RoumanIa. Bulgaria
and Servia, at 90,o00,0 bushels,
while the wants of the importing couR-
tries of Europe are placed at 81 ,OO0,-
900 bushels.
According, however, to advices from
ST. Petersburg, these figures need re-
vision, as it was stated in the dispatch
in question that it is more than proba-
BILE that no wheat at all will be export
ell from that country owing to the bad
harvest. Inasmuch as Mr.. Bear esti-
mates that Russia will export 10000
900 bushels, that amount will in all
probability have to be taken from the
80, 900, 900 bushels, leaving only 3d.
0O0,00 bushels for export. Taking
this from the 81 ,00o, 900 bushel which
it is estimated the importing countries
will need. leaves the net deficiency at
32l ,000,0 bushels, instead of the
2S1, 900, 900 bushels he estimates.
Against this he places an Indian
surplus of $1,000, 900 bushels, II very
liberal one, and surplus from this
country of 1900, 900, which seems
little light, making the net European
deficiency IA 900, 200 bushels. Some
of this will be supplied by exports from
Australia, Argentine, Chill. Asia Minor
and Canada, but it is hardly probable
that they will be able to make up more
than half of the needed amount at the
very utmost. When the great rye
shortage throughout Europe is also
taken into consideration the signif-
canoe of these figures becomes the more
apparent.
Bradstrcet's, in commenting edito-
rally upon these estimates. very rightly
terms them extremely bullish argu-
ments.
1t seems pretty clear now that the
American farmers are practically mas
ters of the situation, and while they
will probably not be able to obtain the
extravagant prices which many have
predicted, yet there can be little doubt
that they will be able to command
prices considerably highter than these
now prevailing.-Kansas City Journal.

WY NOT A SCUTHERNERq

Tie Charleston News and Cou-
rier commends an interview OF
Gen. Wade Hampton. in which
he says: Some Northern or
Western man should be elected
Speaker" And why a Western
man any more than a Southern
man? Unless the South is pre-,
pared to say their men cannot
be trusted with such responsible
ity there can be no sensible reas-
on Tor not electing a Southern
man qualified to fill the place. If
the South is back in the Union,
an | there is not much doubt
sibalt that, it is cs,wardly
thing for Southern men to draw
the sectional line against their
owl citizens. The Speakersilip.
fight should and viii be settled

jority choose a man for the place

MR.. GLADSTONE'S PLAN.

There seems now to be good
reason for thinking that Mr..
Gladstone has perfected q plan
which, if it becomes a law by the
action of the next Parliament,
will assure for Ireland as full a
measure of home rule as Mr.. Par
nell himself desired. Under the
terms of this plan, the Irish Leg
islature, which it is proposed to
establish, will be invested with
much more ample power than
the famous bill of 1885 provided
for. Like the imperial Parlia-
ment at London, says the Rich
mond Times, the Irish Parlia-
ment at Dublin will be divided
into a Lower and Upper House,
and the appointment ofthe Irish
Judiciary will be left to the Irish
Executive. The representation
of Ireland in the Imperial Parlia-
ment will also be very much IL.
creased, which will give it much
greater weight in all national
affairs. All the leading members
Of the Liberal party, it is ascer-
tanned, have assented to Mr..
Gladstone's plan, including Earl
Spencer, Mr.. Morley, Sir Vernon
Harcourt, and even Lord Rose
berry, who at one time was very
much opposed to the suggestion.

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION

The importance, indeed, the me-
cessity, from Democratic point Of
view of the principle recently adop-
ted by the Liberal party in Eng
land that members of Parliament
should receive salaries from the
Treasury, as members of Congress
always have done here, is shown
very clearly by few facts stated in
the special from London published
last week. The London Trades
Council is eager to form a league
for the purpose of returning working
men to Parliament, but has found
it impossible to provide by assess
ment or voluntary subscription for
their salaries and their election ex-
penses. Even the modest salary of
John Burns, the Radical and Socia-
list member from Battersea,- ED a
week, the equivalent Of his wages
as a mechan G, is only raised with
difficulty and by public subscription.
The result is that labor party in
Parliament is impossible, and an ex-
tre.ne r ,dical party in any degree
proportionate to the number of Rad
icals in the country at large is al
most equally impossible, SO long as
members of Parliament are expected
10 serve their country for nothing.
This theory is survival from the
days when the House of Commons
was little more than q club Of
