WILL HAVE WHEAT TO SELL.

The bull spectators in wheat were
probably little disappointed in the gov
eminent wheat crop report made public
late on the 10Th inst. This is purely a
matter of inference, however, owing to
the report not being as unfavorable as
many had claimed it would be. The re-
turns are for spring wheat, concerning
which so much rumor of damage has
been heard Of late, showing a declining
average during July from 900 per cent
on the first of that month to 81 8 per cent
on August 1. In Wisconsin the reduc:
tion was from 80 to sc, in Minnesota
from 90 to 81, and in North Dakota from
80 to IS. In Iowa there was no change,
and in South Dakota and Nebraska the
condition of the crop actually improved.
1t certainly looks as if we would be able
to send abroad very large quantity of
wheat within the next twelve months
il any one should want it. The Beer
bohm estimate of the production OF
wheat in eight leading countries for 1892
is as follows, compared with the reported

PERKINS VS.. CALAMITY
EARTER.

The Alliance and Popo-democratic
papers of Kansas have run whole col
umns of howl and hog-wash on how
Senator Perkins snubbed Thomas y.
Harter in Washington, only because
Thomas belongs to the Peoples party.
As the Democratic paper and the Al
lance sheet OF this city, both, have
howled themselves hoarse over the mat
ter and as Harter caused himself to be
interviewed as to his grievance against
Senator Perkins while in Wichita, we
have taken the pains to get the facts,
and as luck would have it we have sue
ceeded in getting them from a gentleman
who was in air. Perkins room at the
time and heard every word of the con-
versation. Our informant after stating
the circumstances, ETC., of his presence
goes on to say:
Mr.. Harter called and desired Senator
Perkins to secure for him an appoint
ment In one of the departments here in
Washington.
The senator naturally asked where he
resided, to which he answered: Ulysses,
Grant county, Kan" He was asked
how long he had resided there and he
said, several years" The senator in
ouired how long he had been here and
what his business was in. He said he had
been in the city several months and had
bill pending before congress aud de-
sired TO secure position here while his
bill was pending. The senator asked if
his bill had Teen introduced and he
stated that Jerry Simpson had intro
duced it in the house and that Dir.

Nobody believes that lad Colonel King
been an ordinary criminal Governor
Buchanan would have interfered to save
his ife.-LeavenworthT Times.
Of course not, for the simple reason,
if no other, that no extraordinary effort,
on the part of influential men and wom-
en- throughout the country, would have
been put forth in behalf Of the con-
demned man. 1t is stated as a fact that
not less than twenty-six senators and
governors implicated Governor Buchan-
an to commute Kings sentence. In
view, therefore, of the unusual array OF
influence exerted in the interest of the
old reprobate it is not surprising that the
governor yielded; indeed it would have
been surprising if he had not. Any way
you look at it, it was case of damned
if you do, and damned if you don't.

number of females 80. 554,37 For the

INFLUENCE OF THE WEEPING POST.

Thomas Byrnes, superintendent of the
New York police, says in an article re-
lating to Anarchists that to be effective
in the prevention of crime the punish
ment must be sharp and certain. The
old colonial penal code seems too severe
to us now, but it was not Ineffective in
the prevention of crime. We do not
and should not whipcord, brand or hang
offenders against the law as our fore
fathers did, but the chief defect in the
criminal jurisprudence today is found
in the uncertainties and delays in the
punishment of crime. The chief defect
is the art that is brought to bear to
hinder justice. In the past Anarchists
have thrived as individuals in America
and, with the exception of the Chicago
affair, the punishment inflicted on these
cowardly and incendiary revolutionists
was not severe enough. ''If had my
way" says Mr.. Byrnes, 81 would put up
a whipping post for anarchists"
While a resort to the whipping post
would seem many steps backward, yet
there are two crimes that certainly
merit such punishment, and they are
wife beating and the cowardly and
sneaking outlawry of the anarchist. The
humiliation of the lash might serve a
proper purpose in these instances. 1t
has been abundantly demonstrated that
nothing else in the way vf punishment
