WHEAT AND v

1t is true that wheat has gone from
so cents up to about 81 per bushel IN
der a gold standard. But there is abso-
lutely nothing in this to prove that the
price of wheat, and other staple pro-
ducts, and silver does not range pretty
near together, under natural condi-
tions. Foreign demand for unusual
quantities of wheat has pulled up the
price. The truth is, that with free
coinage of silver, wheat would never
have fallen below an average of 81
per bushel, and with the present eb
normal demand would probably now
be 81 so or 81 per bushel instead of ST..
We need and want a financial system
that will keep prices of everything to
a reasonable notch at all times. That
is what the fight vas about. O:course
we are thankful for better prices. But
we must remember that starving mil
lions over the ocean are making great
sacrifices to secure our wheat, and that
is not pleasant to think about.

H SENATORSHIP.

There is much interest manifested in
the Senatorial contest in this State
when the legislature meets this winter.
"How will the Populists vote9" seems
to be the leading question, and whether
or not they will support Pritchard's
candidacy. In the humble opinion Of
the News the question should be, How
will the Democrats vote?" They will
be the minority party and cannot
hope to put up a winning candidate.
The Democrats hold the balance Of
power, and can elect either a R9publi-
can or Populist-which will it be? In
the campaign just ended, the Demo
Gratis refused to cooperate on the State
and Congressional tickets, and put
out their own nominees even in die
tricts where Populist Congressman had
been elected and were still holding
their seats. Taking into consideration
that Populists have always advocated
the free coinage OF both gold and sill
YER, and that it was through the per
sistent agitation Of Populists that the
money Question was forced TO the front,
the question as to how Democrats will
vote as between a Republican end
Populist, becomes pertinent. Toe
status Of the parties in the next legis-
lature is shown by the following
tables:

Messrs. S. 6 D. Berwanger have had
a very good trade through the hard
times, and they give part of the credit
to their advertising in The PROGRESS
sTvE FARMER. People who want Gus
toners will generally find that it is a
mighty good plan to plant an adver
tisement in a paper that has a wide
circulation. This often brings trade
from unexp, cted localities.

GORDEN DISCHARGED.
Morton Hotel Man Gives Evidence
in His Favor.

Archibald Gorden, the young man
arrested by Marshal Whitney of Hec-
tor, on the charge of stealing the Vic
tor bicycle belonging to Aid. w. r.
Caswell of this city, from in front of
Kuenzli & Luscher's store two weeks
ago last Monday evening, was dis
charged from custody on prelimin-
airy examination before Judge Bald
win last Saturday forenoon. Gorden
bought the cigars, distributed them
literally and then left town.
The whole matter hinged on one
point of evidence. That was given by
Clerk Harrison of the Commercial
Hotel and railroad eating house at
Morton. Harrison swore that he
showed young Gorden to bed in the
Commercial Hotel about $50 o'clock
one evening during the past three
weeks and he believed that it was the
Monday evening on which the bicycle
was stolen. The bicycle was stolen
between 10 and 1870 o'clock and if
Harrison's statement was true Gorden
could not havo stolen the wheel. Judge
Baldwin conferred with County At
torney Clague after the preliminary
examination and the result was that
Gorden was discharged.
The question of Gorden's many
different stories, the fact of his having
the bicycle in his possession, the brok-
en- rear rim, the finding of the manu-
facturer's plate in Hector, did not
seem to cut any figure in the matter
of convincing evidence.
Gorden was defended by his uncle,
Senator Young. Senator Young in
formed a reporter of this paper that
Gorden's statement that his father
was dead, was false, as he was living
and was respectable farmer of Sib-
Icy county. He is well-to-do, and has
kept his son at home until a few
weeks ago.
