The Best on Record

The Wheat crop has been safely
garnered, and there is universal tes-
timony to the effect that it is the
very biggest crop on record. If the
farmers had prescribed all the wealth
er and conditions, as well as the size
of the wheat crop, the result could
hardly have been more satisfactory.
The pronounced effect on the mar
ket is the most conclusive evidence
Of the size of the crop. Wheat has
not been so low for many years. This
is the least satisfactory fact to the
farmer The general harvest has
made the Price of the product very
nnremunerative to the producer. The
increase in bushels will hardly make
up for the reduction in price. Neither
is it very palatable for the wheat
raiser to store his crop to wait for an
advance in price. The Spectator
could well afford to Go this, but the
average farmer does not want to wait
until next year for his remuneration
for this years crop.
1t is a generally accepted rule, too,
that the farmer who sells his crop
early for the best price obtainable,
comes out quite as well in the long
run as the man who holds back for
higher prices.
The great wheat crop, and the fair
prospect for other crops, promise a
prosperous year to the country
There will always be market abroad
for what we don't need at home. This
is great, rich, productive country.
We have plenty to eat and something
to give away. Our succession OF
good crops is the wonder of the
world. 1t is Gods country, and nc
mistake.

WILL LIKELY BE WILSON
Generally Conceded that He Will Head
Ways and Means.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July lit
is once more asserted here with in
creased positiveness that Mr..
Springer will not again be made
Chairman of the ways and means
committee when Congress reassem-
bles, and that the place will be given
to Mr.. Wilson, of West Virginia, who
is regarded as the ablest man in the
House on the tariff question.
The reasons adduced for setting
Mr.. Springer aside are that he does
not possess the concentration and
masterfnl energy which are requir-
ed to successfully carry forward the
big undertaking of revising the tar
if.
Mr.. Springer's honesty Of purpose
and good intentions are admitted, as
well as his exceptional knowledge of
the tariff question, but it is said he
fails to reach results because of his
habit of trying to give attention to
too many things at time.
That Mr.. Wilson will prove to be
the right man in the right place as
chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee in the coming Congress
is conceded by every one.
He is hard and efficient worker,
and the preparation of new tarifi
bill will be carried forward with
energy and the highest degree of in
telligence if he is chosen by the
Speaker to preside over the ways
and means Committee.
That such is now the intention of
the Speaker very few people here
doubt.
Mr.. Springer's friends still refuse
to believe that he will be set aside
by the Speaker, but they are almost
alone in their belief.

At this season of the year when 50

naturally arises in regard TO an appro-

The Noomne~s of oar boom.

THERE'S more general confidence
in oar local prospects since the re-
cent sale Of lots by the B. d |. Com
pany, than there has ever been be-
fore.
A great many we're surprised at
the result Of that sale. If any one
believed that thirty Eve or forty
thousand dollars were ready to be
staked on the success Of our local
business development in the near fu-
tire, he was not very loud in pro-
claiming his confidence. There was
a strong hope and general desire,
but no very deep seated confidence.
Beside this the efforts of envious
neighbors had succeeded to certain
extent in creating an impression I'M
favorable to our enterprises among
outsiders who were disposed to invest
in them. Now that the result of the
sale has gone abroad it has not only
negatived the statements of our enc
mics, but has served to strengthen,
as nothing else has, the confidence
of investors in the substantial char
acter Of our boom.
There is enough money now inves-
ted in the property of the b. & /.
Co. to insure its development. The
Company has only to go right along
advertising and improving their ter
ritory to realize their highest antici-
pations.
When they undertake to boom a
town in the West, they open a street
into the new territory, make side
walks, light it, and in every other
respect make it as attractive as any
other street. Nothing that can be
done will draw population so quick
ly and naturally as this. Accessible
ity is the first thing purchaser
looks to. And without it the most
attractive real estate will go begging
for buyer. Grade Beechurst Avenue
perfectly; put down a good brick
side walk; light it with gas or cleo
tricity, and buildings will go up
there as if by magic. It's a nice
place to live.

In the July number of The North
Americdn Reuiew the dominant
questions OF the hour are discussed,
as usual, in the most authoritative
manner. The opening article is by
Professor Briggs, whose recent trial
for heresy created such excitement
in theological circles, is entitled
sTbe future of Presbyterianism in
the United States The all-impor-
tant question "Should the Chinese
be ExcIudedg'' is considered from
two different points of view, first by
Col. r. G. Ingersoll, who replies in
the negative, and secondly, by Con
gresham Geary, the author Of the
Chinese Exclusion Law, who answers
in she affirmative. In "How Dis
trust Stops Trade Edward Akin
son, the well known economist, points
out the baleful effects of the free
coinage Of silver. Other topics dis
cussed are "Austraiian Women" by
Julia +. Nicholson and "The

Let Him Rest.
Wheeling Intelligencer Rep.


We regret to note disposition on
the part of some Republican papers
to censure the President for leaving
Washington at this time, while the
business interests are imperilled."
The business interests of the country
are in no greater peril with the Pres
ident at Buzzard's Bay taking a
needed rest after the great strain of
the past four months, than thev
would he if he were in the white
house at Washington. President
Cleveland has done all that he can
do, or all that he has the power to do,
until Congress meets, and he may as
well be spending the intervening
time in the quiet of his home, where,
relieved from the bother of office
seekers, he will be better able to
give the careful thought necessary
to the preparation of his message
and in equipping himself physically
for the long months of hard work be-
fore him.
The presidency of the United
States is no sinecure. 1t calls for
hard labor, mental and physical, and
periods of rest and recuperation for
the occupant of the office are ahso-
lutely necessary to the proper per
Torrance of it's functions.
The indications are that President
Cleveland has an eye on administra-
tive affairs at Washington and there
is no danger Of any one running a
way with the government in his alb
sence We see no need of a watch
dog in Washington until the Demo
cratic Congress meets. At present
matters seem to be running fairly
well.
The Intelligencer believes Presi-
dent Cleveland is ON the wrong side
Of most public questions, but it has
no patience with the sort Of partisan
ship that will condemn where there
is nothing to condemn. The Presi-
dent has yielded to the demand of
I
the country for an extra session to
deal with the money question. He
can do no more until the session con
venes. 1t will be time enough then
to put the screws on.

THE LANE MYSTERY.
Rumors Come to Naught-0ffi GERS and
Searchers Still Hopeful.

HuoAihBeou 4ttIVietf.
While there is nothing new TO re.
port in the Lane case, there are
numerous stories afloats that find
numerous interested listeners. Ru.
mors of charred bones found, of the
body in a raspberry patch, etc. came
to naught. The story Of the boys a
bout the men who boarded b. d O.
freight at Wylands will result in an.
other careful search of the creek from
Zedikers down to that point and be
low. The oil tank at Zedikers ID
still often alluded to, and il no de
velopments occur elsewhere, the pub
lie will be unsatisfied till the floor oil
that tank is exposed to view.
Will Mcbride and a Mr. Reynolds
young man Of the Lane neigbor
hood and a good friend Of the miss
ing youth, were in town Tuesday
They report that the affair is just
as it was a week ago, but are hope
full that the search, which they are
still keeping up, will yet result in
the discovery of the body of Harry
Lane, who they are confident was
murdered.
Another gentleman interested il
this search from the start, when asked
what was being done by the search
ers, said spiritualist medium had
been consulted, who said the spirit OIL
Harry Lane had not yet entered thu
spirit world. This gentleman con
tinued, his eyes twinkling, that {
fortune teller, wizard and dream
err in the ncighborhood had beer
consulted, and all were agreed thai
the much talked of cornfield was tn,
burial ground of the missing man.

Civil Service at the Charleston Post
office.


Office.
A dispatch from Charleston says
Mrs. Kenna, the postmistress here,
had an encounter the other day with
the civil service that was somewhat
amusing as well as unsatisfactory.
She had decided that some of Der as
sistants were not just the people she
wanted, so she prepared to dismiss
them. She sent to Was hington CITY
the names of persons suitable to sue
coed them, but the next mail brought
from the civil service commission
the names ofthe eligible persons who
had passed the civil service examin
atoms from whom she was to select
her clerks. Two of these are negroes
blacker than tar, and the third is q
Republican, white, but one Of the
most offensive partisans in the terri
tory served by the Charleston post
office Mrs. Kenna has decided TO
make NO change for the present"
