India only furnishes England enougI

lieye that what the cost Of that period

she can buy enough TO last her tn,

It Is true that England's wheat Inn
porterS may have proRted, to some OK
tent, In their trade with India, becausr
Of their msnipulstions Of the sllVeI
market and their access to India
mintS, but that has nothing to do witt
the price Of wheat in the United States
Nothing whatever. Why should 1t bt
possible for India, with her insignifl
can't volume Of wheat exports to Eng
land, 10 sffix and regulate the market
price Of wheat in England, If the
United States, with volume of wheat
exports to that country averaging more
than three times as great, cannot
do SO?
India does notgovern or control Eng
lands wheat market, but the price Of
her export surplus must always be the
price in importing countries, less the
cost of transportation thither. Eng
lands price, both Of the 100000
bushels raised by her and Of the 170,-
600, 900 imported, is controlled, not by
the gold cost of 100000 bushels
bought in India, but by the volume Of
money in circulation in England, the
average yield Of England's wheat fields,
the export surplus offered for sale to
her, and the ability to consume Of her
own people.
England, and indeed all other wheat
nations, are interested in
making their own requirements appear
as small as possible and the surplus
crop in exporting countries as large as
possible.

Europe apparently has produced about
5000, 900 quarters less than in 1894, and
about the same quantity as In 1893.
America, North and South, seems to
come short of 1894 by 100000 quar-.

less than last year-ssy in the sggre-

the crops were cut.

a right of way.
A similar fault lies at the doors of
those who have brought their suit
to successful issue. They knew
that the ground had been leased for
a ball park. They understood what
this would mean. They saw the i'm
proVements under way in their i'm
mediate vicinity, and they made no
move to prevent it. A iudicious re-
gard for the rights of others and
Tor their own comfort might have
made them raise this question before
large sum of money had been in
vested. However, the case is now
settled in way that establishes a
precedent for the future. There are
those who desire to attend hall
games on Sunday. There are those
who do not, but care nothing how
the rest of the world enjoys itself.
There is still a third class that does
not want to attend, and at the same
time wishes to keep everybody else
away. The last is the only one that
VIII not be gratified. Hereafter, ball
grounds will not be established
Where it can be claimed with any
reason that they are a nIIisanca IN
the nelghborhood. Located where
what takes place on them cannot
annoy any one, games on Sunday or
any other day will probably not be
molested. The court seems to have
cut the knotty question before it in
such way that, as the Globe
said in the first place, we all may be
happy yet.

WEST SUPERIOR, July 1.-THE
rump council that had been conducting
the investigation of charges against
Mayor Starkweather and the aldermen
who have refused to attend the council
meetings, attempted to get together to-

McHugh, counsel for the mayor were

considered the present proceedings

testimony taken would not be accept

lection was not effective, and the trial
will continue without Mayor Stark

to meet in the ring. The tone of
amateur athletic correspondence is
today very little above that of the
pugiiistic arena. We see it in the
difficulty Of arranging a meeting be-
tween English and American athlet-
&c teams, made up from the different
universities. We see it in the unwil-
lingness of football managers to ac-
cept the slightest relaxation of
brutal rules, because they think that
an advantage can be won from them
in one way or another. We see it in
the disposition which has made all
collegiate football games less a
struggle for supremacy than a CO.
lossal public show, and has almost
subordinated the tribute to science
and muscle to considerations of gate
money.
All these mean and sordid elements
should be banished from the domain
of amateur athletics. The most pune
tllous courtesy, the most delicate
honor, the most positive refusal to
take any advantage of an opponent
are principles which should govern
everywhere. If they do not so gov
ern, the amateur falls lower than
the professional because of his false
pretenses. A few more events like
those which have recently occurred
will disgust the sport-loving public.
The. amateurs Of this country want
to get away from professional
coaches and professional methods
and professional devices to win I'M
fair advantage, and return to the
honorable simplicity of the contest
in which man is pitted against man
for the guerdon Of glory alone.

The WilburS changed their bill at the
Metropolitan last night and sang the
pretty and sparkling opera, Indiana"
delightfully."- entertaining a large audi
ence. This opera is one of the latest
in the Wilbur repertoire and contains
many catchy airs besides af-
fording excellent scope for good COM
edy and wealth of costuming. Every
principal in the cast last night sang
with excellent effect and encores were
the rule. Miss Eloise Mortimer was
captivating in the role of Indiana, and
sang beautifully the several pretty
numbers allotted to her. Besides her
acting was more spirited than usual,
and she took advantage of the oppor-
tunities afforded her in the last act
Handsome Jim Conley was an ideal
Philip Jervault, and while the role
does not allow him as much scope as
others in the repertoire Jim has the
faculty of making all his characters
pleasing, and last night he was eX-
ceptionally good in the little he had
to do. Mr.. Kohnle is very funny in
the role of Matt O. the MILL and his
drolleries and unique humor kept the
house in a roar while he was in evil
dence. Mr.. Clark's Aubrey was excel
lent. Mr.. Clarks rich voice was
heard to advantage in the musical
numbers he is called upon to inter-
pref, and notably in the second act was
he pleasing. Emmett Drew and Miss
Hattie Richardson were very good
likewise Claude Amsden, a recent aa-
dition to the Wilburs, who is proving
himself worthy OF the good things said
of him. The chorus was very good
and showed training, while their cos
tunes were in the best of taste The
bill will hold the rest of the week, with
the usual matinee tomorrow. The liv-
ing pictures are magnificent and will
be given at every performance.
Mr.. Barnes of New York. as pre-
scented by the members of the Giffen-
Neill company, is one of the most UNI
mistakable successes of the long EN-
gagement, and it is pleasing to note
that the patronage IS gratifyingly com
