The Chicago Tribune remarks that
the receipts of wheat at the principal
primary markets of the United States
since the close of June to date are %
per ceot less than those for tho same
ime last year, and the visible supply,
which is the total of stocks at the prin-
cipal cities, is 40 per cent less then that
of q year ago. It is true that the receipts
of this months from the northwest are
unusually large, this being favored by
magnificent weather as we'll as the fact
of a good crop IN that section. But
there also has been a phenomenal de-
mand for the northwestern wheat to 90
to the mills in the states farther south
the winter wheat crop being small. The
total indicated yield of both spring and
winter grades is barely 1926 million
bushels, giving an export surplus of lit
tie more than fifty million bushels from
the crop of this year, which is only a
quarter Of our maximum of annual ex-
ports of wheat and -four. It should seem
from a look at these facts that though
wheat is freely offered for sale at low
prices now it is likely TO be much more
firmly held before our next harvest time
comes around.

RATHER surprising it may be to North
Dakotans to learn that IN the matter of
divorces, the state of Indiana does q bust
ness which casts that of North Dakota
into dense gloom. The laws in the
Hoosler state are very flexible, as affect
ing the granting of divorces, and it is
reckoaed that at the September terms of
court throughout the state, there were
LOO divorce cases tried. It is a fact,
however, that there is a growing senti-
ment against the industry, for the rea-
son that attorneys, court clerks, and
newspapers have found the majority of
the applicants to be very doubtful in the
pay ment of fees, and the courts object
because the superiority Of cases crowds
other important business over from term
to term, and causes delays which are
hurtful, in many instances. While no
one has ever attempted yet to estimate
the size Of the divorce industry in North
Dakota, the number of cases will not
approach the Indiana list, nor the fourth
Of it.

Wealth Err AND CRIME.

At the annual convention of state
weather service men at Indianapolis, a
curious connection was brought out in
a paper by Director Lenney of the H.
hnois bureau, between weather and
crime. The argument was that crime in
creased with rising temperature and
vice versa. Statistics were cited to prove
the case.
This is q new departure in weather
service, and the matter should be de-
veloped to the fullest extent by the
weather bureau. Could the connection
between weather and crime be so
thoroughly understood that a sort of
criminal forecast::could be made for each
twenty-four hours, along with the ordin-
airy weather prediction, great benefits
would accrue to divers and sundry per-
sons.
For example, a forecast after the FOL-
lowing style, might be issued from head
quarters.
Fair weather with slowly rising TEN
perauure will prevail over this vicinity

The state enforcement league has been
at work in the eastern part of the state
for some time past, more actively than
ever before. It is said the league has
spoilers out in all the towns in the val
ley, and as q result of it's work, over q
hundred illegal dispensers Of alcoholic
liquors have been arrested, and their
goods and wares and merchandise seized
by the officers. In Ramsey county, the
business has been %efectually broken up,
and in the city OF Devils Lake alone, if
teen places have been closed up, and if
teen buildings are in the hands of the
officers. Other towns in the county have
likewise been raided, and numerous
places closed. Every day, reports from
the valley tell of liquor establishments
raided, and i%njunctions served. The
league, SO it is said, has detectives in
nearly all OF the towns in theivalley, and
as 500 as evidence is secured, u raid is
made. The league has done more work
than at any time since the prohibition
law went into effect, and it is said it
proposes to continue the warfare all
along the line.

. AN increasing production of gold and
a decreased production of silver are the
features of the Mint report of Director
Preston for the year 1894. There was a
decline, it appears, of more than S15,00O,-
600 in the value of the silver produced
as compared with the output of 1893,
and an increase though smaller in
amount, in gold products for the latter
as compared with the former year. The
gold production of the world is estimat-
ed at over s200,000,OO of which the
United States produces more than one
fifth, or, in round numbers, s46,000,OOO
worth. The yield from the mines of the
United States last year was the largest
since 1878. California is still the lead.
ing state in the production of gold,
though the largest increase over the year
1893 is reported from Colorado. Twenty
two of the states of the union are claesed
as gold producers, though six of them,
namely, Alabama: Maryland, Tennessee,
Virginia. Vermont and Wyoming, pro.
duced only $4,000 worth. The silver
production of 1894 had a coinage value
of s64,0O0,0O0 and a commercial value of
s31 ,422, coo. Colorado still leads mons
the silver producing states. The ratio
of gold to silver during the year was one
to 80 Sc,

In his tenth annual report, devoted to
strikes and %lockouts, which has just
been completed, Carroll D. Wright, com.
missioner of labor, computes that the
loss to employees in establishments in
the thirteen ana a half years ending
June Both, 1894, amounted to $190,493,-
1872, and to employers to s94,825,837
The less to employees on account of
strikes was s162.807, 1865 and on account
lockouts S26, 1886, SIS; to employers on &C.
count of strikes $50, 59O,3s6, and account
of lockouts $l2,235,451. The figures of
loss are about two to one against the
employees, and the question as to whether
strikes pay again comes up for discus
sion.

The party which went from James.
town to South Dakota to investigate the
matter of artesian irrigation, returned
with the conviction that the same plan
as adopted there is feasible in North
Dakota. Editor Kellogg says the party
saw water being distributed on land from
irrigating ditche s, visited the reservoir of
five acres from a six-inch we'll, saw the
specimens of corn and garden products
that have been raised, and took a gen.
eral view Of the place which was of great
interest to owners of Dakota land. The
land irrigated is flat, as the entire sur
rounding country. The level character
makes it more difficult to spread on the
water advantageously than on rolling
soil. There are several considerations
to be met in the establishment of a SINH
lar plant IN this state. is the unanimous
opinion Of the gentlemen visiting the
South Dakota farm was that what has
been done there can be accomplished
here, with some additional expense in
the sinking of the we'll owing to the in
creased depth necessary to go. The cost
of bitches and reservoir and the actual
irrigation Of the soil is believed will be
less here, IN our rolling land, than
where land is almost as level as a floor.

The youthful and expensive duke of
Marlborough, who has been purchased
by the Vanderbilt family at an outlay of
Millions, was subjected to a harassing
ordeal in New York a DAY or two ago, at
the hands of one of that city's police
force. The duke was engaged in the
violation of an ordinance which prohibits
wheelmen from riding faster than eight
miles an hour in Central Park, when he
was gathered into the arms of a park
policeman. Whereat the following pas
sage at arms occurred, as reported by re-
liable newspapers
Said the Duke: "This is an outrage. I
am the duke Of Marlborough. How dare
you insult me in this unwarranted manner?
Officer Sweeney thought the young man
was imposing upon him, and f%lippantly re-
piled: Il don't give a d. who you are"
Marlborough was. then conducted by
Officer Sweeney to the nearest police
station, where he was reprimanded and
discharged. The moral of the encoun-
ter, however, is that no person who
springs of English royalty should parade
the fact of his nativity before a New
York policeman who r~ejoices in a
name of such Celtic richness as Sweeney.

mating speeches Garfield presented Sher-
mans name. 1t was a magnificent eulogy.
1t was delivered with s'heat, and heart,
aud force" 1t was better than Conk-
ling's speech for Grant. 1t was so elo-
quent that Sherman, reading it over now,
ought to refrain from shooting a pois-
oned arrow at It's author. He did better
for Sherman than Sherman could have
done for himself. The delegates listen
ing to this eloquent appeal began to
think more highly of it's maker than of
the man in whose behalf it was made.
The galleries began to cry out out "Why
not nominate Garfeld?" So when the
breakup did come about all the anti
third-termers turned %instinctively to Gar
field. who had made so deep an impress
sion on them. They nominated him
without his procurement or consent, al
when they had done so it was his duty
to accept. He had been loyal to the end.
He had done all he could for Sherman.
He had helped to break down the unit
rule and thus gave the way for the de-
feat OF Grant. He had been faithful to
Sherman, though it was apparent that
he could not been nominated. To have
refused the nomination would not have
helped Sherman, but would have helped
Grant. The other Sherman delegates
from Ohio saw that clearly enough, and
since Ohio could not get Sherman, but
could get another Ohioan, they voted
for Garfield. Ohioans are not in the
habit of throwing away a good thing.
Senator Sherman should either retract
his insinuations or come forward with
some evidence which will convince the
public that GarieldPplayed a treacher-
Gus part at Chicago IN 1880.

of the opinion the governor has done
what the people wished. 1t may be con-
%sistent, says the Record, to turn down a
governor every two years and try a new
man, but the Record believes that the
politicians will find that Governor Allin
has endeared himself to the taxpayers
by his persistent efforts to cut down 9
penses and save the state from bank
ruptcy. It is to be expected that demo-
cratic papers such as the Plaindealer
will roast the governor, because that is
their only political stock in trade. But
it is with poor grace that republican
journals such as the Lisbon Free Press
malign the chief state official of their
own party because they are disgruntled
over a favor to secure the appointment
of some petty local politician to Office.

Moral tendency will be both suicidal and
hOmicidal, until 5 o'clock p. IN, when it
will be followed by a slight wave of EN-
bezzlement and petty larceny.
This would serve to put every one on
his guard at once. The liability of
humanity to homicide and suicide
could be removed with cracked ice, and
book agents would lay low until the
weather grew cooler. All persons oc-
cupying positions of trust might be
chained up securely promptly at 5 p. m.
This would tend to counterfeit the ten
dency to embezzlement.
Then again, another forecast might be
as follows:
Cloudy and cooler, with probable snow.
Rising moral tendency which will last un.
til 4 O'Clock.
Church fairs and the like could be
prepared for such days, and pew rent
collected of delinquents. Subscriptions
for charitable purposes could be passed,
other good works might be pressed in
safety until 4 o'clock, when the moral
tendency would undergo a change.
1t is impossible to overestimate the
great good which would come of such a
system, properly carried out. It would
eliminate half the crimes,now committed,
and greatly simplify the other half.
The only trouble will be to get a connec-
ton established between the meteorolo-
gical and moral thermometer. The
question to be solved is, how nearly does
a temperature of 100 in the shade CORES
pond to a tendency on the part of of
humanity to commit murder?

ALTHOUGH politics in North Dakota are
quiet, yet away from home there son
tinues to be the usual gossip, and in the
St. Paul Pioneer Press of Monday,
some North Dakota writer, whose article
carries the earmarks of Col. Warnock of
jamestown, takes a preliminary whack
at the situation past, present and to
come. There is nothing in the article
which tends to shed any great glow upon
any of the political questions affecting
the state, and no new and startling
changes are rung by the author.

HE Breeders Gazette remarks that
American sheep are still going to market
in vast numbers. Angus; 1894, was
known as virtually a panic month, so
great was the rush Of sheep into the
Chicago market, yet the report for Au-
gust, 1895, shows an increase of 10000
head v Q that of the corresponding
month the preceding year, while an ex-
cess of 5000 for the first week in Sep
TENDER, indicates that the haste to sell is
still an uppermost feature. Under these
conditions many western sheepmen have
sold out almost every one, two or three
year old sheep in their hocks, so that
now their stock is at the point of certain
deterioration.

POSTAL statistics made public last
week indicate that the quarter ending
with September was probably the most
prosperous in the history of the postal
service. The receipts were over 100000
n excess of those of the corresponding
quarter Of 1892, almost 100000 in excess
of those for the corresponding quarter
for 1893, and over 100000 in excess of
the receipts for the same period in 1894.

AN American consul sends home the
following able exposition of politics in
the United States from the columns of
the Portuguese Daily News
"The presidential term of Senior Cleve-

that serve asa base for the school of can
didates' wherein certain principles and
guarantees are set forth in what are de-
nominated platforms From our pres
ent information, the democrats are
stronger than the republicans. The dem
ocrats are happy in their strong repre-.
sentation of the Monroe doctrine, which
they now find endangered by the Anglo
Venzualese conflict. Senior MacKin-
ley counted on the patriotism of his COM
patriots when he launched for the first
time his protective system. Today his
formulas have lost favor. His forces are
divided and gone to pieces. Senior

Missouri slope zephyr, and putting it to
some practical use, other than the in
spring of a lurid style of profanity.
The wasted energy of Niagara is as
naught when compared to the vast
volume of physical force daily expend-
ed by the breeze in question. It is
something too vast for estimation in
figures, and is UNNECESSARILY beyond
calculation il horse power. There is
nothing in which it's grandeur of
volume and tirelessness of energy can
be expressed. That is, nothing which
would look we'll in print.
1t il putting it mildly to state that 10
the past week, enough force has been
expended by a series of zephyrs in and
about this city to plant, cultivate and
harvest the wheat crop of the world,
move every car on every line of railroad
in the United States from origin to ter
minus Of its line, tear down and rebuild
every structure and edifce in the civil
lied world, clrcumscribe the earth at
the equator with a stone-wall of in
definite height, raise the entire Rocky
mountain system three feet from the
ground and put blocks under it, tran
sport every citizen of the United States
to the North Pole, and operate a system
of windmilis of sufficient capacity to
transfer the entire volume of water in
the Atlantic ocean from ita present rest

definite number of other tasks, too in

Properly harnessed, and guided into
channels of practical industry, the
zephyrsz aforementioned could be made
to perform the entire amount of labor
necessary to the prosperous existence of
the United States. The possibilities of
the thing are magnificent in contempla-
ton. But in it's present uneducated
and unconfned state, the zephyrs are of
no degree of value whatever, and serve
but to fill the soul Of the tax payer with
bitterness and his eyes with sand.
