THE WHEAT CROP.

The wheat problem is approaching "a So
lntiOn, and it can hardly fail to be satisfac-
tory to the California farmer. The Russian
crop is now known TO be less than that of
last year, aud will probably not exceed $780,
G0o,000 bushels, including Poland. Deduct
ing 100000 for seed and consumption,
this would leave 100000 for export.
Austro- Hungary and the Principalities will
probably have a surplus for export equal to
about $4,000 900 bushels. Austria ALA will have
no surplus after New South Wales has been
supplied. India is probably good for an ex-
port Of 100000 bushels, though the news
from that part of the world is conflicting,
and there is talk of famine in some localities.
The European crops are pretty closely
reckoned up. They show that the following
countries will require the amounts (in bush

The Indianapolis Journal printed the
following story Tuesday morning:
A Journal reporter listened to an interesting
conversation yesterday afternoon between
Deputy Clerk Harry Springsteen and one OF
the deputies from the office of % liver Gard,
democratic clerk of Clinton county. ave

But how do you manage IL" Mr.. Spring
steen asked.
by spreading out the record a little and
making more than is needed. Pretty good, ea?'
You won't be very glad when the fee and
salary bill is passed. them?
Don't talk to me about il; 1t makes me sick
every time / think of il. But, confdentially, /
don't believe the legislature will pass 1t. There
it will affect. Buff il does become a law they'll
have to pay me a good salary, or I'll go back to
10 my old business, railroading."
The above story is no doubttrue and the
conversation did occur. However, the
journal is slightly diverging from the path
of truth when it saws that Mr.. Gard is the
democratic clerk" On the contrary he
is a dyed-in-the-wool republican and all
his deputies. three in number, are of the
same party utilization. The picture OF the
manner of conducting business in the re-
publican clerks office of Clinton county
and the democratic clerks Office OF Marion
county is graphic and true 10 the facts.
FRANKFORT, Dec. 3l.-ISpecial THE
enclosed is taken from the indianapolis
Journal of yesterday. The only thing that
the Journal is mistaken about is the fact
that the deputy who had the conversation
with ~Springslein is a dyed-in-the-WOOi re-
publican instead OF a democrats the ac-
count SAYS. Tic report is untrue in
another particular-that Oliver Gard is
the democratic clerk of Clinton county.
Mr.. Gard is the republican clerk of Cliu-
ton county, and he and all Of his deputies
are members of the grand old party.
The statement of the alleged deputy-who
is not a deputy in fact but who is a blocks
of-fve republican politician-that they
came near losing their jobs because they
could not use their money-is o fact which
the alleged deputy did not intend to give
away. The Journal has been taken in and
done for, and the alleged deputy has given
away facts concerning the workings of the

by private examination OF the records,
and this plan would reveal all within the
state.
In these private researches some mort
cages were brought in who proved that
the mortgages specified had been paid, but
that the record OF such satisfaction had
been neg ected.
Now, un ess the records show such salts

a means of showing the true financial
status OF either n~ortgagor or mortgage;

One clerk in the auditor OF states Office
would suffice to attend TO all this business
and the increase in revenue would be very
great.

To THE EDIroR-Sir: Considering the
discussion of the question whether addi-
tional court facilities are needed in the
Huntington circuit and the fact that the
legislature will probably be called upon
for such legislation in other parts of the
state, it will be of service TO the legislator
who desires to act in|telligentiy and fairly
toward the people of the state. the differ
ent circuits and judicial districts and the
trial judges, if you viii publish in your
va liable paper the population and wealth
represented by each trial judge. The
writer is not in possession of any table
slowing the taxable wealth of the III
ties, OF a recent date. but such informa-
ton can be obtained at the state house.
Below will be found the population rep
resented by the different trial judges. In
the more popu'ous counties where differ
ent courts nave been provided, the total
population has been divided by the NUM-
Der OF judges; for II in a certain district
it is claimed that the work Is too great,
the intelligent legislator will certainly
want to be informed as to the number of
Judges already provided TO do the labor.
W Y II tNlAcN ic dPNAACN " t1S lAO
ent circuits and districts il will be seen at
once that true principles OF political econ
| ony have been set aside and courts Gre
ated without any reference to the business
of the demand.
The taxable wealth of the counties will
show a greater discrepancy as TO the size
OF different districts than is shown in the
population.
Either the state is being imposed upon
by the creation of Insignificant court dis
tricts, or else some OF the judges are being
imposed upon by the state by being re-
quired to DO too much work. 1t is plain
that there is no equality or fairness in the
division of the labor. Neither is it true,
as will be seen from statistics (see vol. S,
Indiana bureau of Statistics" pp. 221 to
228 and 337 to 341) that the amount of
business in these small districts is unduly
greater than in the large ones. On the
| contrary, it will be found that many OF the
smaller circuit and superior courts repre-
sent the least prosperous part of the state /;
and generally the business OF ourts fol-
lows close to the relative population and
wealth of the counties. This chestnut"
(oi an undue amount OF business up in
"our %county") has been worked with great
success heretofore. Will the coming leg
islature investigate before acting? The
circuits and districts are arranged below

PRESS OPINION.

The Standard Vigorous, the Gazette Pacific,
the st. James Gazette Hopeful.
LONDON, Jan. b.-The Standard to-day,
in referring to the Behring sea dispute,
says: 1t wears a very unpleasant aspect.
Even though the possibility of a rupture
between England and America annot be
mentioned without feeling a deep regret,
America may count upon receiving the full
measure of courtesy, patience and firmness
which England has already displayed; but
Blaine will do we'll to bear In mind that
frmness will be commensurate, should the
moment arrive for its exercise, with the
patience and courtesy with which he has SO
far been treated. He seems e1travagantly
anxious to put himself in the
wrong. Lincoln cannot too soon
be on his return to devote him.
self to aseertaining the resolutions
of the foreign office and communicating
them to his government. There is not a
person in England but what would hear it
proposed with profound regret that shots
should be exchanged between British and
American vessels except IN courtesy, but
it would excite great regret to hear the
British flag insulted and her national honor
not indicated by prompt reprisals. But
we do not believe the American people will
suffer its public servants to force a conflict
by wanton outrages upon our flag. We will
gladly bow to the tribunal Of international
law, but not to Blaine. We trust he will
not persist in the menace. which is certain
to be resented and resisted.
The Pail Mall Gazette says: The case
for arbitration in the Behring sea dispute
is 80 clear. Lord Salisbury's offer is 80
ample, and the feeling in America in
favor of arbitration is so general and
strong that it seems necessary to look
for Blaine's motives for his warlike
attitude elsewhere than in the merits
of the case. That the American people
would deliberately prefer a policy of e1ag-
aggeration and would sooner embark in Il
fratricidal war with England than submit
to arbitration, is too silly and absurd to need
a moments consideration. IL il clear that
Blaine speaks not for the nation. but for
his party-that he means a bluff and PLAYS
to the anti-Engiish gallery. 1t is earnestly
to be hoped the good sense and moderation
of the American people will speedily make
themselves heard even if a paper warfare
between the two great families of the same
race would be II blunder and q crime"
The st. James Gazette to-day saws:
''There is no reason for alarm to anticipate
a rapture. Blaine's political party IL now
