From the famous "BigIow Papers, {"
by the late James Russell Lowell, the
following is ell-known quotation:
In vain we call old notions fudge,
And bend our conscience to our dealing;
The Ten Commandments will not budge
And stealing will continue stealing.
II would be well 10 apply this homely
and forcible conclusion Of Hosea Big.
low" to modern business practices. The
taking Of money in trust from other
people, and expending it for purposes
apart from those for which it was on
trusted, is the sort Of stealing so aptly
described in the above extract. To
collect money for other people. and
then apply it TO personal uses, instead
Of turning it over to the rightful
owners comes under the same
category There never was time,
when strict honesty was not the best
and highest of business ethics, and
there never will be. business men of
these modern and rapid times should
bear this in mind. 1t is also well to
remember the well.known legal motto,
"Caveat Emptor," G. Let the buyer
beware. - And also To bear in mind
tho honely couplet Of that shrewd old
linancior, Daniel Drcw:
lie that sells what isn't his'n,
Must buy 10 i'll or 90 to prison.

The demand of the State Sentinel for
partisan Constitutional Convention
is vigorously rebuked by the Dover
Index. =" Ii tho proposed Constitution
is to be fair and just, it says, "then
no partisanship in the convention is
needed, and IL 1t is to be unfair and
unjust then every mans vote should
be against it., The Index also warns
the Sentinel not to be too sure of the
Republicans controlling the convention,
in the event of partisan contest for
delegates. 1t believes that "there
never was time more propitious to
Democratic victory than is the pre-
sent" Very true. The times are
promising, but even with Democratic
triumph assured in advance, Democrats
could afford to advocate nom partisan
convention, because it is right and for
tho best interests of all the people.

An Ineonsl.tent Attitude.

A most ridiculous and inconsistent
altitude Is that assumed by the
Morning News and other Republican
papers Of its ilk 10 urging the nomina.
tion OF Mr.. Mckinley and the adoption
OF sound money platform, by the st.
Louis convention. Such result is i'm.
possible,
Governor Mckinley has already prac.
tieally declared himeelt upon the money
question. His attitude in Congress
Upon the silver question is well-known
and he has sinre given no Indication
OF any change OF views. lie is still a
friend OF the siyorites, and thoy are
vociferously shouting for his nomina.
tion by tho Republican national con-
vontion.
Tuesday week the Republicans Of Mr..
Mckinley's own state, Ohio, in con-
vention assembled, unanimously pre-
sented him 10 the country as candi-
dato for the Presidential nomination.
AT the same time they adopted Il plat.
form favoring bimetallism, with the
usual twadde about maintaining the
parity" of the two metals, SO that the
purchasing and debt.paying power
of the dollar, whether of silver, gold
or paper, shall he at all times equal. -
This is practically Mr.. McKinley's de-
claration, for 1t was made by a conven-
tion whose chief object was to endorse
him for the Presidency, and he has not
dissented with il to the slightest de.
gree
Under these circumstances, to speak
OF McKinley's nomination on a sound
money platform is simply folly. II
he shall be nominated at all. it will
be upon a platform demanding high
tariff taxation, and at least favoring,
IL not also demanding the free and un-
limited coinage Of silver at tho ratio
of l6 TO l. Already there is a combi-
nation between the protected interests
and the siverites TO bring this result
| about
Nor is there any assurance that the
Republican platform will declare un
equivocally for sound money, even with
some other candidate than Mckinley.
A large section of the party is openly
in favor of the FREQ coinage Of silver,
and another large section is willing to
adopt any sort of compromise in
order TO conciiate the silver interests.
While tho proposed combination in
favor of protective tariff and free
coinage is likely to control the conven-
tion and make its selfish interests the
leading features of tho platform.
1t is idle, therefore, to talk about
Mckinley on sound money plat.
FORM" 1t would be no more foolish
to predict that this foremost champion
of protection will be nominated on O
platform favoring absolute free trade.

Kent His Head,

1t is not safe to joke among an orien-
tai people unless you understand their
manners and customs. Lord Charles
Beresford, who accompanied the Prince
of Wales IL India, relates funny Incl
dent Of the journey, which just escaped
being tragic one.
"We were elephant shooting in Cey-
lon" he says, land Were driving back
to Colombo, when the horses in the
wagonette showed signs of fatigue.
Lord Aylesbury, who was on the box.
took the reinS. from our Tamil coach
man, whcreupon the animals swerved
just as we were crossing a rude bridge,
and the whole cquipage, passengers and
ALL were precipitated into the nullah
below.
"No one was hurt. I playfully be-
labored the coachman with bundle of
elephants tails and then told him to
mount the box At the same time ]
turned to the Malay sergeant and said
i'll solemn tones:
Cut that man 5 head off.
''Hc, thinking it an awful crime to
upset the prince. instantly drew his sa-
Der and rushed at the coachman.
Fortunately the coachman under.
stood English and scrambled on to a
ledge Of rock out Of reach. Seeing that
my joke had nearly caused catastrophe.
| called out to the sorgcant
The prince has graciously pardonoG
him. Let him come down. -
SO tho coachman kept his head on his
shoulders, and there was no harm done,
but if he had not understood English
and had not got out Of the way As our

WHY WHEAT IS UP.
BECAUSE OF REDUCED SUPPLY AND
INCREASED DEMAND.

Statistics of Exports Explain the Rapid
| Risc-Not ut All Due to n "Goldbug
Conspiracy"
| In 1891 the wheat harvests Of Europe
were extraordinarily bad, and as our
crop was the largest we ever harvested
we had an enormous export. But since
then our exports have been steadily di-
minishing, from 225, 600, 600 bushels in
1912 to 1876, 600, 600 bushels in 1856
During this period of decreased demand
for our wheat the Argentine Republic
came to the front as an exporter, and
the price Of wheat naturally enough
tended downward. Bcerbohm, one of
the highest authorities upon the wheat
market, computes that the world s wheat
crop averaged 2G2, 600, 900 quarters, of
eight bushels, for the four years 1886,
I279. 600, 600 for the four years 1887 90
and 304, 600, 900 quarters for the four
years 1911. The estimated increase III
the demand for wheat for food is Z, 900,
900 quarters u year, and in eight years
the supply increased not 10000, coo
quarters, but AZ, 600, 600 quarters. That
the price should fall was inevitable.
But the world available supply Of
wheat on July |, according to Brad
street q, was 20, 600, 600 bushels loss THAI
it was one year before, and tho worlds
crop for this year is estimated by tho
Liverpool Corn Trade News ut 80, 000,-
900 bushels less than last year This
makes the supply lis, eco, 600 bushels
less than the supply " year ago. The cs-
Innate of this years crop is 80, 600, 600
bushels less than the average crop for
the four years 1891 The normal in-
crease Of demand due to increase of pop.
ulatim since the middle or average
point in that four year period would ho
about 60, 600, 600 bushels The condi-
tons arc very favorable, there fore, for
nm advance in price. This advance, duo
to tho buying Of American grain for
Europe, began very slowly As the pur-
chascs increased tn" price rose faster.
When American wheat was shipped to
Australia and India, both Of which arc
accustomed to export wheat. the price
jumped suddenly. Vessel room for out
going wheat WAS well engaged cariy i'll
the season, and only when it became
evident that Europe had got 10 buy all
we could sell and had already engaged
tn" ships to carry it to her did the price
here rise rapidly.
