W heat Supplies.

The report of Bradstreet's show that
the available stocks of wheat in this
country and Canada have been reduced
largely since the beginning of the year
and that they have been rdiueed much
more rapidly than We're those of one
year ago during the corresponding
period. Jan, |. III, 100000; Feb. |. 100,
OBS, 000 March |. ITO, 5i6, 900. The de-
crease in February east of the Rocky
Mountains was more than twice AS large
as the next largest February decrease on
record The reduction is also shown in

Europe. which was Isl, 753,O00 bushels
on Jan. IL, lSl,tl9,0D0 on Feb. |, and
l70, G5S, 900 on March |. The worlds
"visible supply" has fallen, therefore,
about $4,000, 900 bushels since the begin
Mug of the year. During the cores
ponding period in 1894 the decrease was
5000, 900 and in 1893 il was II little more
than 100000 Hence the advance in
the price OF wheat during the past few
days is readily accounted for.

Prohibition will never become
political issue in this country; it i,
not a political question.
Prohibition means death to the
saloon, and to fight the saloon pow
|er We must 60 where it is intrenched
This brings the question into pol
itics for the reason that the saloon
is there and will remain there until
its total destruction.
The liquor business has grown
into enormous proportions in this
under the fostering care ol
the Republican and Democratic
parties.
Neither Of these parties could
hope to win state or national vic.
tory without the saloon vote within
its own ranks.
Political bosses know from ex.
perience that they can depend on
the liquor vote only as long as the
wishes OF the liquor men are carried
out.
That is the reason why one sa-
loonkeeper has more influence in
shaping the politics of his party
than 20 preachers or other good
men.
To say that the prohibition ques-
ton should be kept out Of politics is
The saloon is in politics,
and that brings prohibition there.
Just as long as good men will
continue to support rum ruled par
ties, Just SO long will the saloon die
tate the politics Of this nation.
The foes of the saloon must unite
at the ballot box, and the response
bility for the continuance Of the liq-
lor traffic rests on the shoulders OF
those who vote the Democratic or
Republican ticket.

say it is wicked to carry as broad

|he does, and claim to be only Is
years old. OF course, he is Is, and
then add the same number Of years
again, we no doubt will have his
true age. But old people never do
like to own their age, especially
when they are not married.
But we will consider him the age
Of Is, and wonder how he become
so wise, and when he knew "hun-
dreds Of women in business" and
il he does know them, does he
know Of one who has lost one whit Of
her self respect or refinement by do
ing business? True, this is not the
verdict Of the greater part Of the no.
ble and generous minded men ofour
land. No doubt "School boy"
would have woman laid upon the
shelf, and wrapped in silk paper on
ly when in use-that is, so long as
they stay young and handsome.
Still he is wise enough to know
"the world is hungry for something
new," and that being the case the
women are going to give it purer
purer Offices, and conse-
a purer nation. We do not
lose any Of our exquisite fine
ness" BY standing by our hus-

How is she to wear good
