MORE WHEAT CALCULATIONS.

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat,
1t is extraordinary how near the two
great grain statisticians of England, cal
culating independently, contrive to get
their computations of the wheat exports
and imports of the various countries of
the world to approach each other.
Mr.. Beer makes the import needs Of
Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy,
Spain, Portugal, Switzerland and other
countries OF Europe to amount to the
grand total of 81 100000 bushels. The
other authority, Mr.. Kains-Jackson,
computes the import needs of the various
European countries at 366, 100000 BUSH
els From which it will be seen that
there is not a difference of so much as l
per cent between the independent estl-
mates made by the two statisticians as
to the amount of wheat which
European countries will require to
import for their sustenance for the
With respect to the export capacities
also to the countries which are so for
tunately situated as to have more wheat
on hand than their own people can con-
sumo, the computation of the same two
wheat students come wonderfully close
together
MIR. Beers estimate is that Russia and
the countries of southern Europe, and
India and Persia, all together, will have
between a surplus for export of about
123, 900, 900 bushels. Mr.. Kains-Jackson
fignres out this same surplus to be some
what smaller-112.00 0, 600 bushels to wit.
Allowing that Australia and south
Africa and South America will be able
together TO contribute a further 2S, 000,-
600 bushels of surplus, we have the
available wheat exports of the world
1.-THE United Stated and Canada eXcepted)
footing I'D to between 10000, 900 and
10000, 900.
Now if we compare the amount of
these available exports, calling it 1885,
10000 bushels, with the import needs
of the countries already named, setting
the amount of those needs down at &c.,
900 600 bushels, it requires very little
arithmetic to apprise us that it will need
the enormous amount of 234, 900, 900
bushels to be supplied from other sources
pthan those already named, If the Euro
pean importing nations are not TO go
furnishing.
The United States and Canada are the
sources whence this huge deficiency is to
be met-so far as it can be met. Be
tween them it is computed that this
country and the dominion will be In a
position to come TO the rescue

There seems to be no limit to the posi-
bilities Of electricity as an active agency
in the scientific world. 1t is not only
employed as the most expeditions and
efficacious death producing agent, but
also as an effective life restorer. A case
in point: A few mornings ago Phil
adelphia policeman shot Glan who was
detected in committing burglary, The
fellow dropped and the officer thought
him either dead or badly wounded, and
carried the prisoner to the Hahnemann
hospital, where the doctors could find
no wound The man was to all ap-
pearances dead. Heroic measures were
resorted to, the most severe being the
sticking Of pins in the parts of the body
that are known to be sensitive. The
man never moved muscle. They
placed him on stone and pricked him
with a scalpel. Still he gave no evil
dence of life. A galvanic battery was
secured and tried on the bare soles Of
the mans feet. This settled it, and the
fellow screamed Justify. He came near
getting away. and fooled even the doc
tors for time.

AS TO INSANITY.

A distinguished New York insanity
expert, in charge of the largest asylum
in that state, gave the American Social
Science association at its late meeting
some interesting and largely novel views
on the subject of insanity and its causes
and now the progress of the disease can
be best arrested.
This physician, DIR. Atwood, frankly
admits that there is a steady and rapid
increase in the amount of insanity pre-
valling, as indeed, no one could think of
denying in the light of late statistics.
He attributes this to the rapid pace of
modern civilization and its effect on the
nervous system. In somewhat cold
blooded manner he holds the charitable
and benevolent societies also responsible
for some of the growth of this malady,
asserting that they increase the number
of the insane by encouraging the propa-
cation of those who will become the idle,
the thriftless and the criminal classes.
As to whether whisky or tea cause in
sanity, the doctor is unwilling to say,
and seems to think that the excessive
use of these stimulants comes with
mental failing rather than causes it.
The disease ought properly to be treat
ed in its earlier stages, particularly when
it takes the form of nervous affections
or irresistible appetites. If treated suit
ably and wisely then there is no reason
why it should not be thoroughly cured,
or at least so improved that there will
be no open development of insanity.
And DIR. Atwood takes the position that
insanity always has a physical basis and
is founded on some bodily defect,
brought about by the progress of certain
diseases or unfavorable conditions.
Finally he lays down the proposition
that insanity is transmitted far more
frequently through the mothers than
the fathers family; hence the importance
of the healthof our women to the gen
eral well being of the community. AL
though he does not say so, it is not i'm
probable that it may be found that the
large increase in insanity during the last
few decades is attributable to the recog-
nized increase of nervous troubles among
women, for which the doctors give
many explanations, as it is recognized
that nervous disorders are among the
chief causes of insanity.

IRRIGATION IN NORTHWEST KAN
SAS

1t seems that the Arkansas valley does
not monopolize all the irrigation efforts
on the plains. The Kansas City Gazette
SAYS that Cheyenne county, in the ex-
treme northwestern corner of Kansas
has strong company, headed by the
officers of the Burlington and Missouri
system. St. Francis, in Cheyenne
county, is the terminus of branch of
this road and it is the terminus Of canal
seventy miles long. There are feeder
bitches increasing the mileage to one
hundred and forty-three miles, The
main canal leaves the south fork of the
Republican river at point about three
miles west of the Kansas line, where it
has width of % fl. and a depth of 81
IT., thus enabling it to carry 81 #. of
water at a rapid rate of flow. This canal
terminates in great reservoir four miles
south of st. Francis, at an elevation of
10 TT. above the town. From this
reservoir-holding more than 116, 900. 900
cubic feet of Notwithstanding bitches
extend still further east and upon the
main divide. showing that water may
be taken TO the highest point of land and
used there. There are two large feeder
bitches, one of which taps the river ten
or twelve miles higher up and the other
more than twenty. Besides these, there
are special works for tapping the
underflow, for which purpose alone the
company has appropriated more than
$50, 900. A ditch something over twenty
miles long is under construction in the
valley Immediately above ST. Francis for
the double purpose of irrigating the rich
bottom lands under II aud supplying the
town with water for fire and other pur-
poses. The total amount of capital actu-
ally invested Is, 10 round numbers. $i70.-
600. The company's canal aud bitches

A DIsCoNsoLATE CROWD.

After Jerry Simpson had labored with
the local Alliance pilots all night in the
interest of the Democratic bosses of this
city and their fusion scheme and failed,
the said bosses are about ready to dis
pair of doing anything. They are so
mad at the Peoples party and the hog
gishness of the Alliance leaders that but
for the name of the thing they would
like to see the Republican ticket elected,
every man. And that is just what the
Republicans are going to do. The ticket
as a whole can't be beat. Judge Reed
and Ike Ault and Johnny Allen, do not
even need party endorsements. And

gard to party who can name three men

terest of Jerry Simpson, who had never
voted anything put a Democratic ticket,
corralled that gentleman during his late
visit and demanded of him for their val
liable services in the past that he bring
about fusion between the Democrats
and Alliance in Sedgwick county. The
job was more than Jerry could handle
and he had to say so. The Democrats
wanted the sheriff and judge. These are
the same bourbon bosses who have, ever
since the Alliance declared in the legis-
lature against resubmission. been vim
dictive in their denunciation of the So
called Peoples party. They play the
roles Of dictator and cringing snpplica-
tor with equal facility, They are rot

of their rule.

A. A. Harris, of Fort Scott, said to the
Democrats of Greenwood county at their
recent convention: eve Democrats hate
Republicans in a political sense. In a
business sense they are as good as we.
But hate calamity worse. If any can
not vote the Democrat ticket for Gods
sake vote the Republican ticket. Better
a thousand years of Republican suprem-
acy than one year of the calamity
party" And there is no sort of doubt
that in that declaration Mr.. Harris ex-
pressed the sentiments of ninety-nine
per cent of the Democratic party, leav-
ing out the coterie of local party bosses
who are in it for revenue only.

Jealous and prejudiced. But when Kan
sas calamity orators went east and repre-
sented their state as hopelessly in debt
and on the brink of ruin, the prejudice
of these journals melted away before
the injustice and ranknesS of the slam
ders, and they changed their tone.
During the last few months nearly every
newspaper in the country has given
portion of its space to exposing the false
hoods of the howlers and presenting
the evidences of Kansas wonder
full prosperity and prospects. These
many favorable notices have con-
stituted a grand advertisement for the
state, and we shall presently begin to
feel Its effect. Capital will want to in
vest in a state of such rich and varied
resources, and settlers cannot be other
wise than attracted to section where
one years crop pays for the farm. Kan
sas has the soil, the climate, the society,
the schools and all other inducements;
what she wants now is plenty of adVer-
tisement, and the rebound of the calam-
ity howl is giving it to her. Our people
have suffered from the misrepresenta-
ton, but the time of suffering is well
nigh past. The east has, learned that the
starvation stories were peddled only for
political effect, and in learning this their
attention has been called to the state in
a way that must do us great good. The

HER DESTINY.
From the Kansas City Star.

From the Kansas City Star.
Kansas is paying off her mortgages at
the rate of $1,000, 900 per annum. Her
revenue from agricultural products this
year will more than equal all Of the in
debtedness on her farms. The wheat
and corn produced in Kansas this season
will cancel one-third of the mortgages
against the lands on which they were
raised. The reduction in the state in
debtedness has gone on during period
of severe agricultural depression, and
with the favorable conditions of abund-
ant crops and big prices, the process of
liquidation will be greatly promoted.
Beginning without much of anything
but pluck and hope in the grand destiny
of the state, the people Of Kansas took
upon themselves a pretty heavy burden.
but they are carrying it bravely, and it
is becoming lighter every day. A cessa-
ton of borrowing and universal dispo-
sition to pay up are going to max diff
ference in the account in Kansas in a
few years which will put an entirely
new face on matters there. II is des-
tined to be one of the richest states in
the Union and it is the farthest from
bankruptcy today than it has been at
any point in its history.
