In Kansas and the Dakotas enabled the Mis-
souri, Valley States to get of with o small
loss. Even this loss, small as It is. IL as
founding In view OF the great additions made
In three OF the seven States The reductions
made In Iowa. Nebraska, and Missouri ng-
Rregated no less than 3,56O.O00 acres.
| Since the census year, reduction has con-
tinued In oil the States east aud south OF
Minnesota. Nebraska, and Kansas, with the
possible exceptions OF Delaware. North

years. In the absence OF material from
which to make new farms In any consider
able numbers, II has been possible to Offset
the losses since 1889. only by the conversion
OF more than 100000 acres Of the corn
lands OF Kansas into wheatnelds. The
corn area OF the country being now deficient

Ing is no longer practicable II we are to
continue the expectation OF animals and
animal products ON anything like the scale
OF recent years. On the contrary. there
are indications that wheat lands will soon
be diverted largely to corn growing. to meet
the requirements OF annual additions OF
100000 to the domestic population.
With wheathelds giving neither more
nor less than average yields. We now have
the product OF some 100000 acres that can
be sent abroad: and as each unit added to
the population yearly requires the product
OF 0.413 OF an acre under wheat. the acreage
employed In growing wheat for exporta-
tlon will diminish by more than 100000
acres per annum unless. as seems wholly
impracticable. we are able to add materially
to our wheat-bearing area. On the other
hand, should the wheat area continue to be
diverted to other products at no greater
rate than obtained between 1884 and 1899,
the 100000 acres now employed in growing
wheat for expectation. will be absorbed at
the rate Of 1900. 900 acres per annum by the
wheat requirements Of the added popula-
ton. and such necessary diversions. diver |

haustion Of the arabic lands as precludes |
the annual addition Of the 4.5OO.O0O new
acres required to furnish food. forage. and |
fibre for each years addition to the popula- |
ton. AS there are nc. more Dakotas to add, |
with the aid Of Kansas. 6.5OO.OOO acres to |

to other products in the older States, such |

Ireland's Representation at Westmin-
St0r.

When the present Home Rule bill was in
troduced. 1t WAS expected that Mr.. GLAD
STONE would find 1t particularly hard to
pass the clauses fixing the number and de-
filming the powers Of the representatives
sent by Ireland to the imperial Parliament.
That upon these points an agreement could
be reached between Irish Natonallsts and
British Liberals seemed scarcely possible;
and. as q matter OF fact. there were some
assertions from the Gladstonian ranks on
each Of the questions named. But. although
the nine Parnellites Joined the Tories on
one division. while on another several Brit
ish Liberals forsook their leader, the mass
OF Mr.. GLADsToEE's followers stood firm,
and the most critical stage In the discus
zion OF the measure was passed successfully.
1t Is now settled that. providing the Home
Rule bill becomes law. Ireland will here
after send to Westminster eighty members
instead Of one hundred and three. the pres
ent number. The reduction was necessary
In order to make Irelands representation
proportionate to her population. and 1t was
demanded by the English Radicals. who are
determined that the present Parliament
shall enact law enforcing the lone man,
one vote" principle throughout the United
Kingdom. 1t was well known that the Con-
servatiycs would try to postpone this re-
form by raising the counter cry Of Zone
vote. one value" the contention being that
plural voting is no more inequitable than the
fact that vote should count for much
more In Ireland than 1t does In England.
To parry this plea for delay. the English
Radicals insisted that Ireland must have
no more representatives at Westminster
than her population entities her to. and the
Justice OF the arrangement was recognized
by the McCarthyites. who know that all
electoral reforms will benefit their Glad
stonian coadjutors. and. therefore, inure to
the advantage Of Ireland In the end. 1t
should now be impossible to prevent the
passage OF an act abolishing plural voting,
inasmucl, as the Tories are deprived Of their
sole plausible argument against the meas
ure. With plural voting abolished. tho
Gladstonian majority should 10 materially
increased.

doned the ground which he originally took
The bill. as It left his hands. provided that
the representatives Of Ireland should vote
only on matters Of imperial concern, distin-

Welsh. or Scottish interests. The more this
"in-and-out" scheme was studied. the
more unavoidable 1t was seen TO be- In
practice. 1t would prove impossible TO dis
ISOLATE imperial from local questions, be-
cause an Irish member could not be pre-
vented from taking part In vote OF want
OF confidence. although that vote might
have been moved on the Bcore OF
O Ministry's course In relation to local
matter. Accordingly. Mr.. GLADSTONE re-
nouDced his original plan and proposed In
committee an amendment striking out the
clause which attempted to limit the speak
ing and voting powers OF Irish members.
Two OF his English followers protested
against the change. one OF them. Mr.. WAL
LACE. speaking with great warmth and bit
terness. Mr.. LABoUCHERE, on the other
hand. who might, had he so chosen. have
organized effective opposition to the amend
ment. confined himself to a lukewarm and
perfunctory statement of his opinion that

to deal with her own affairs. should
not be suffered to NEEDLE with those
Of her English. Welsh. and Scottish
neighbors. Coming from q Gladstonian.
the objection had some force. but 1t has
none In the mouth OF Unionist. For IT,
as tho Unionists pretend. Ireland has had
nothing to complain Of. although for some
ninety years her local affairs have been
managed by an assembly where her repre-
sentatives were outnumbered In the pro-
portion OF five hundred and sixty-seven to
one hundred and three, what has Great
Britain to fear from the interference Of Ire
land In Parliament where British repre-
will outnumber Irlshmen In the
Of five hundred and sixty-seven
to eighty? It is true that. IL the eighty
should always vote together, they
might hold the balance OF power between
the two British parties. But, even now. the
Irish delegation is split into three sections.
and there is no reason to suppose that these
will vanish after home rule has
been conceded.
The discipline maintained by the Glad
stonian and McCarthyite forces has ex-
torted admiration even from their enemies.
The new financial proposals still await dis
cussion, but there Is no longer much room
Tor doubt that Mr.. GLADSTONE on the one
hand and Mr.. SEXTON on the other will
arrive Mt an understanding whereby the
clauses relating to the fiscal resources Of
ireland can be carried through the commit
zee stage. notwithstanding the threatened |
opposition Of the Parnellites. We seem.
therefore. justified in assuming that the |

CLEVELAND GOING SLOW
HIS COURSE DISAPPOINTING TO
THE OFFICE-sEEKERS.

a Belief That He WIN Send in as Few
Nominations as Possible During the
Extra Session-1iost of the Incum-
bents to be Allowed to Serve Out
Their Terms.
WASHINGTON, March 16.-The President
disappointed the ofice-seekers again to-day,
this time by sending in no nominations at
all, although the Senate and the committees
were waiting to receive them. The office
seekers are becoming more and more i'm
pressed with the fact that Presidents CIeve-
land does not consider the distribution of
patronage as the primary duty to which he
was elected, and they were ready TO credit
the statement made to-day by a member of
the cabinet that no nominations not
strictly necessary would be sent to
the Senate before its adjournment,
which is expected 30 take place by
April l. The President proposes TO make
appointments most deliberately In order to
get the best men possible for the offices and
to the end that the policies which he repre-
sents may be advanced. When 1t is remem-
bered that the senator's and representatives,
together with the gentlemen who are seek
ing office for themselves, have all been given
to understand that in making his selections
Mr.. Cleveland will not be absolutely gov-
erned by the recommendations Of senators
or representatives or other managing poll
tcians, but will use his own Judgment and
take advice from others than those active in
politics, itsnot strange that great deal of
growing and grumbling is heard in Wash
ington just now? As yet there is no sign Of
the discomfort taking organized form and
becoming aggressive as against the Presi-
dent, for it is recognized that he has all the
advantages Of the situation. The Senate
will go away in two weeks. The President
will not call an extra session. He will make
as few appointments as possible between
now and next December. following his rule
to let faithful office holders throughout
the country serve out their terms and then
when congress comes together again he will
want to talk about needed legislation rather
than about the offices to senators and repre-
sentatiVes. Meanwhile he will be prepar-
ing his recommendations for tariff, pension
and financial legislation and carrying on
the government as best he can under exist
ing laws. 1t is not pleasant outlook for
patronage mongers, but the people will
probably be pleased with IL.

Democratic Senators Besleged While

WASHINGTON, March 16.-The change
that has come over the Senate was potent
to the most inexperienced observer to-day.
AS soon as the body had adjourned after its

have been thronging the corridors for days
past found entrance and opportunity to see
the senators. and they all found

retiring rooms or committee rooms. On the
other side of the chamber the republican
senator's sat a6 their ease and we're unmo.
lested Viewers Of the scene. Some of them
Jokingly complained that they had lost
popularity, and leaders like Senators ALI
son, Manderson, Frye and others, who
rarely have a moment to themselves, had
leisure to-day TO sit quietly and commiser-
ate their hard-beset colleagues on the
democratic side. Several of the repub-
lcan senators talked earnestly with Senator
Stewart, possibly 10 explanation of the

them to drop him from the

soreness over this matter Senator Stewart

party or against any measure which does
not commend itself TO his own judgment

OFFICERS OF TIE SENATE.
The Republicans to Oppose Changes at
This session.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-Immediately
after the Senate adjourned to-day the demo-
cratic caucus committee resumed its sitting
and took up the matter OF the reorganiza-
ton Of the elective officers of the Senate.
1t is said that the committee will be ready
to report TO the full caucus early next week,
possibly on Tuesday morning. Whether
the democrats intend TO reOrgRnize or not is
an interesting question, but the republicans
are acting upon the assumption that, having
the power, they intend 20 exercise it, and
they have been preparing a plan of their
own. lS ts an open secret thgt a number of
republican senators favor an organized op-
position 90 any attempt to reorganize the
elective officers at this time. II was said to-day
that the republicans have already discussed
the matter and have notified the democrats
that such an attempt would be very dis
tasteful to them. This is accepted as a dec-
laration that the republicans will oppose
such reorganization, the precedents of the
body being against reorganization at an
extra session of the Senate. It is also said
shat a number Of the older and
more conservative members of
the party among the democrats
are in favor Of permitting things to remain
as they are until the regular session Of the
joint houses whenever that may be. Two
prominent members Of the steering commit
tee are quoted as being opposed to reorgani-
zation at this time, and 1t may be that a
prolonged struggle between the two parties
will be prevented if their advice is fol-
lowed by the democratic caucus. Should the
caucus, however, vote TO take up the task
OF recognizing it seems TO be quite certain
that the struggle will be long protracted.
AS matter Of fact the Senate has never
been reorganized in this particular at a
similar extraordinary session. TheS repub-
licans attempted it in 1881, however. The
republicans now say that they desisted
from this attempt as soon as they learned
that they were seeking 20 violate the prece-
dents of the Senate. II the democrats,
therefore, attempt to reorganize at this ses-
sion It is almost certain that the repub-
licans will show fight and prevent the con-
summation Of the plan If It be within their
power.
