1.-The outlook? Well, it depends a
great deal on New York, unless the
two sides there stop their lighting.
Campbell, Of Ohio. should he defeat
McK inlcy, will be the most prominent

Arthur z. German. OF Maryland. Cor
man is the second choice of most every
body. His ability, his integrity, no
one disputes, and although he is per-
sonally making no effort to secure the
,snom.nation, his friends are working
for him, and, as things In New York
are now, it is certain that German
could get p, 900 more votes in that
State than either Cleveland or Hill.
1t is possible the differences between
the two latter may be settled before
next year; II SO, then Cleveland will be
| elected. He is the man OF the people
and with tariff reform as the issue he
will certainly win. Unless, however,
the differences are settled the unwis-
dom OF nominating a man unable to
carry his own State are too patent to
require discussion. In the latter event
it will be safe to sey that II Campbell

And there is yet another phase to
this wheat question. The wheat area
Of the world is unlimited. Outside
of the United States. Canada and the
South American republics produce the
grain. India, when the season is favor
able, grows enough to glut the mar
kets of Europe. Russia and Hungary
are heavy exporters usually. and Aus
tralia can raise two crops a year on a
large territory. The danger of an
overproduction is therefore imminent.
Indeed. It never fails that after n
year like this, in which the cereal
brings good prices, the area In every
country Is Immediately extended and
there Is soon surplus on hand that
cannot be worked off to advantage for
n long time afterward.-Salt Lake
