for ourselves whether a state of war
or condition of peace exists in Cuba.
III the President, acting on the assump-
ton that declaration of the existence
Of war in Cuba, and a recognition OF
the rights of the parties engaged in
that war as belligerents, falls within
his exclusive constitutional power in

Congress, after the almost unanimous
expression Of opinion on that subject
owes it to the honor of the body to
devolye the responsibility upon the
President. Under existing ciTcum-
stances some department. of the gov
eminent must become responsible to
our own people, and to the judgment
of mankind for continuing to permit
the falsehood to remain until rebuked,
that peace peryails in Cuba and that
war does not exist there. Whether it
is Congress or the President that de-
MES the facts and repudiates the APP
peal to the sentiments of our people
and the honorable duty Of our govern
ment there will be a great account to
render, in the end, for the blood that
patriots are shedding every hour in the

WONDERFUL WHEAT YIELDS.

Tho ylold OF wheat and other grainA
In Manitoba and the other western Ca
madam provinces this year has been
phenomenal. Thirty-nyo millions OF
bushels OF wheat. thirty millions OF
bushels OF oats. six millions OF bushels
OF barley. besides large quantities OF
nax. rye. peas. etc, have been produced
In Manitoba by only $4,000 farmers.
some OF whom settled on tho prnirios

and other almost totally inexperienced
in and unaccus,omod TO farm work
This enormous yield seems almost In
credible, but when one reads OF n farm
or selling part Of his crop for $4,000
and having 1000 bushels stlll on hand,
II IL easy OF belief. and that another
farmer. a MIR. Pruyn. near Emerson.
Manitoba. had n 900 bushels, and many
OF HIS nelghbors harvested 10000 bush
els and upwards. A Portage Plains
farmer averaged % Ia bushels on n 40
acre field. and near Nocpawa nine acres
yielded GOO bushels an average OF
GG 2-3 bushels per acre. Another field
OF iG ncres on the same farm yielded
500 bushels. while the entire crop OF
los acres turned out 10000 bushels. A
Carman settler was rewarded with 3G,-
bG5 bushels OF 9S5 ncres--an average OF
86h bushels to the acre. In oats. one
farmer raised 70 bushels TO the acre by
measurement. but by weight there were
LOG bushels. the grain Weighing IS lbs
90 the bushel. on course every farmer
has not these phenomenal crops. but
there are countless Instances where the
wheat yield was 80, 30. 40 and more
bushels TO the acre. Roots and yogeta-
bles, too, riyaled the cereals In their
prolific yield Stock Is also largely

count OF the excellence OF its butter and

there Is not any part Of the continent
where the yield has been so uniformly
