THE WHEAT CROP.

Those who remember the accuracy
with which the New York Sun last year
foreshadowed the scarcity and higher
price or wheat will be interested in its
prediction, published yesterday, that
this year will again be one of less than
an average crop. If the Suns expert is
as well informed this year as last, the
crop Of this country is no more than an
average one, India's is 1900, 900 BUSH
els below that Of 1891, while South
America and Australasia show yield
about the same, Asia Minor, Northern
Africa, Greece and Bulgaria, Italy, Hun
gary and Spain below that of last year.
Great Britain has decreased acreage.
France, Germany and Russia may in
crease somewhat from last years starva-
tion result, but not enough to Offset the
decrease in other quarters.
Apparently there is no doubt that,
while the yield OF American cereals will
not be excessive, the price will be sus-
tanned at or about the prices which have
recently prevailed. 1t will be a poor
year for the calamity cry.

THE CASTLE OF INDoLENCE,
The Lazy Democratic House.
BY JULIAN WERE.

Those of our readers who are familiar
with the autobiography, Thirty Years
OF a Lazy Life" or remember Moses de-
scription Of the people who "sat down to
readily understand and appreciate the
dreary, lullaby characteristics vf our
splendid Democratic House with its l4O

During the 51st Congress, when wide
awake Tom Reed was Speaker, the Re
publicans vainly yimagined that the mem
bers were elected to labor for the welfare
of the nation, and that the majority
should rule, Tom going so far as actually
to count all present as present.
Now, however, all these fallacies are
past. and leaden dullness pervades the
hall n languor and inertia which may be
felt. while the melodious strains Of the
funeral march seems to float through tho
corridors and along the aisles, converting
the mem bers of Congress into disciples of
Morpheus and devout worshippers at the
shrine of this drowsy god Of lag, loaf, loil,

It would not be surprising IL the vote
of Alabama in November should pre-
seut surprises. Bourbon methods have
beaten the Alliance in the State election,
there is plenty of evidence that the VIC
tory has cost more than it is worth; it
has rent the State Democracy asunder,
Upon the question of the uncertainty
of Democratic success in November,
the Birmingham Age-Herdid, one OF
the most influential Democratic papers
in the State, says: y
Mutual concession and mutual compro-
mise is the only way out of the danger
that con fronts US In November, when the
negro cannot be apDreciably divided. IN
other words, unless the Democrats can
patch up their differences, the chances are
against us on the election Of Congressman
and electors.
On the same subject the Montgom-
cry Journal says:
One thing is certain: With the present
division in the party. there is no no more
hope Of the Democrats carrying the state
than there is that the sun Will shine at
midnight tonight. The one is as reason
able to hope for or expect as the other.
Ninety per cent. of those who have fol-
lowed the Alliance leader thus far, under
such desperate circumstances. with the
intelligence of the towns and the COM
bined forces of the press, and hundreds
Of speakers against them and to discour-
age them, are going to follow them to the
end.
Kolb's race against Jones has sur
prised everybody. and his words carry
weight when he declares: eff / am
counted out of my victory, Alabama
will go for Harrison in November" !"
With three or four electoral tickets in
the field stranger things have happened.

The deepest interest will be, we think,
aroused among RHODE ISLAND fisher
man and those of neighboring waters by
the result of the NEWS Fishing Clubs
contest for the beautiful set of tackle
made by the John p. Lowell Arms Co.
The fish which won the prize weighed
one pound and fourteen ounces. 1t was
caught on June "a, in public water in
the town of Cumberland, with hook and
line. Meanwhile George Cross of the
Hotel Dorrance had taken brook trout
weighing one pound and eight ounces.
and Mr.. Page of Wakefield, had taken
one Of one pound and eleven ouncces.
No one will ever know how many trout
weighing one pound or over were taken
which were never entered for the prize
at all.
The NEWS has a serious purpose in
everything which it undertakes, and
the trout contest is no exception. The
NEWS carries at its masthead, SO to
speak. every day an exposition of the
ADVANTAGES OF PROVIDENCE" It
declares its faith, and the reasons for
the faith, in the beauty and attractive
ness of this city and State as place
of residence and for doing business.
Chief among these advantages we must
reckon it il within the State or near its
chief city can be found fishing waters
open to the public where trout weigh
ing from twenty-four to thirty ounces
can be taken. This is the most popu-
lous State in the Union but its popula-
ton is so concentrated in industrial
communities that there are left in
almost primitive wildness large tracts
of land and hundreds of miles of rum
ming streams, where the artist and the
fisherman and the nature lover can feel
at home.
Put it down as one Of the advantages
of PROVIDENCE that big brook trout can
be caught in season within half an
hours ride of the city.

The stuffed indignation of the Demo
cratic editors and statesmen over the
force bill is one of the most amusing
phases of the present campaign. OF
course nobody cares q fig about the
force bill outside of the south, which Is
all Democratic anyway, and the bill is
not an issue anywhere. The fact is, De-
mocracy has no real issue on which it
dares to make fight, and so they are

A Democratic Candidates. Plan.

John p. Altgeld has declared himself
against nonpartisan judiciary In Chi
cago, and has asked the Democrats OF
Cook county to nominate a full number
of candidates for the present vacancies
on the bench and for those which will
occur during the year. This attempt to
turn the Judiciary of great city into a
pasIsan body stamps Altgeld as dan
gerous demagogue. The best Democrats
in Chicago are satisfied with the present
equal division of the judges between the
parties, and ARE opposed to the idea of
having them all of one politics. The
nonpartisan plan has been in operation
twelve years, and the longer 1t is tried
the stronger it grows in favor.-Bloom-

stevenson's strength" {"

As the days following the Democratic
convention at Chicago increase in num-
Der, it appears that there was more
method than madness in the nomination
Of Adlai Stevenson to the vice presi.
dency. While as yet there does not
seem to be sufficient proof to positively
connect him with the avowed enemies
of the government in 1868 and 1864, or
to utterly damn him in the north, the
mere fact that Clevelands S running mate
is openly charged with such disloyalty
will perhaps serve to strengthen his
ticket in certain sections of the south

some Com plieations OF FREQ Trade.
1t ought to be evident from this show
ing that free trade, which on the fiscal
side will only tax larger number of
persons and on the industrial side will
only increase importations and add a
new factor to domestic competition, will
not prove the industrial and social pana-
cea which it is represented to be. We
need but point to Great Britain for con-
frmation Of our contention. No coun-
try in the world is more vexed with So
cial and industrial questions than Great
Britain, and most Of them have arisen
since the adoption Of free trade.-De-
