The latest "visible supply" statis-
tics says the Cleveland Leader, show
that at the end of the present crop
year the world will have less wheat in
store by about 100000 or possibly
$4,000, 900 bushels, than it had a year
ago. AS compared with the cores.
ponding date in 1894, the supply in
sight at the end of the current month
will be about 100000 bushels less.
This fact, however, does not seem to
have any noticeable effect upon the
price Of wheat, which continues to
rule low, and the Leader states that
the outlook is for cheap bread rather
than for higher wheat prices. 1t is
estimated that the wheat supply on
hand will be 100000 bushels when
the new crop begins to move.

STAND FIRM.

Speaking of the money plank in the
Republican platform, and that some
of the weaked -kneed members of the
party had suggested in view of the re-
suit in Oregon, that it might be wise
to concede something to the western
silverites that would tend to placate
their feelings, the Redwing Republican,
says:
If there should be any yielding to such adj
vice, it is possible that even the enormous
probabilities on the Republican side would be
balanced by an outburst of popular disgust and
disappointment. The one thing which the peo-
pie demand above all others is to have this
money question settled and taken out of poll
tics. 1t has disturbed the country and de-
pressed business long enough. Let there be a
square fight, say all, this year, and end of it.
Now, if it were possible for the Republican con-
vention to lean ever so little toward any change
from the present standard, to throw itself open
to the charge of straddling, it might happen
that the people would prefer to accept even an
outright free silver party and its candidate
rather than to endure four years more of
trouble and distress. failure to do the right
thing at st. Louis might throw the election into
doubt. Let Republicans bear it in mind.
The Republican is correct. The peo-
pie want something settledsthis year,
and will not stand any tampering
with the ques sion. Oregon should be
a lesson instead of fear. The con-
gressional election was so nearly lost
because of this same policy of conces-
sion. On the legislative matter a
stronger position was taken, and the
result was more emphatic victory.
1t won't do to temporize. The people
want straight square declaration,
and with it will come victory.

UP to the latter part of last week
sos of the total number of delegates
to the Chicago convention had been
elected, or slightly more than one
half Of these 27S are for free silver
coinage, and 227 for sound money.
The latter made a slight gain during
ing the week, but not enough to make
any perceptible difference upon the
situation. So far as is known as to
the presidential preferences, Bland
leads with IS votes, Pattison has "a,
while Boies shows up with 30, and
Stevenson is not mentioned in the
list. The latest as to Illinois is, that
Gov. Altgeld is favorable to Gov.
Boies, and will use his influence to
throw the Illinois delegation to the
Iowa candidate, and as Altgeld is all
powerful in the free silver movement
in his state, he may succeed in doing
it. In case he does so it will doubt
less remove both Morrison and Steven
son from the remotest chance OF be-
ing considered possibilities for the
nomination.

rlcKiNLEY, PROTECTION 4
SOUND MONEY.
AND

The New York Press has continued
the publication of the replies to the
inquiry it sent out to the delegates to
the Republican national convention
as to their choice for president and
tneir idea of what the leading Ques'
tion of the campaign would be, and
what the financial plank will be. Up to
the forepart of this week it had receiv-
ed All answers, of which 1876 were for
Mckinley. This leaves him only about
60 short of the nomination out of only
a trifie over one-half the delegates.
As to what will be the leading Ques-
tion of the campaign, 81 named the
tariff, 119 say finance, and As are non
cOmmittal. On the financial plank
ALP are for straight sound money
declaration, "a for bimetallism, and Al
non-committal.
1t is not difficult from this showing
TO note what the result will be at ST..
Louis next week. Major Mckinley
will be nominated by an overwhelm-
ing majority. A sound declaration
upon the money question will be made,
and the tariff will be put to the front
as of equal Importance. And the feel
ing thus exhibited by the delegates
in their answers may be taken as very
correctly representing the ideas of
the people among whom they live.
The people everywhere regard the
tariff as of equal or greater import
ance than the money question. This
is doubtless more noticeable in the
manufacturing districts, where the
stress of the times have been more
acutely felt. The attempt OF the
Democrats to drop the tariff question
will not work. Gen. Grants statement
in 1880 that it was the first duty Of
Americans to legislate first for Ameri-
cans, will apply with greater force
this year than ever before, and de-
mand for the return to the protective
policy will be more emphatic than has
yet been made. Mckinley, protec-
tion and sound money will be the one
demand of the people this year.

of such questions in the financial af-
fairs of Egypt, and it has decided
that England has no right to divert
Egyptian funds to the payment of the
expenses for a British expedition in
the Soudan. This decision, which
will in all likelihood stand, is well
calculated to take all the interest out
of England that it has for humanity's
sake, and change it's idea materially
as to whether the interests of Chris
tian civilization really demands that
such conquest should be made, if
England has to pay for it.

MAJOR MCKINLEY, aside from his
political Importance and presidential
possibility, remarks the famous cor
respondent, 10 Howard, is striking
from physical point of view. Among
all the faces of public men familiar to
me during the last four decades l re-
call but three that impressed me by
their strength in any such degree
as that of your favorite. When l tell
you that those three were the uplift-
ment and physical manifestation of
the inner man, Daniel Webster,
Abraham Lincoln and Henry Ward
Beecher, it won't bother you to COM
prehend my meaning. The major
had just stepped from a train. In his
hand he carried grip. With a quick
nervous walk he pushed along with
the crowd paying no apparent atten-
tion to men who nudged each other,
who sought his eye, who endeavored
to attract his notice. If ever there
was physique conscious of its own in
tegrity, giving evidence of wholesome
sturdity, indicating mental independ-
ence, and the good-old-fashioned
American fighting quality, that was
one. Physically judged, the great
protectionist is in first class condi-
tion,and that is something of which a
big man with a big head and big
something inside of it may well be
proud.

CONGRESS-.

IT is very easy to find fault and so
there WILDE great deal of fault found
with the congress just adjourned.
The Democrats as matter of course,
Stigmatize it as do nothing congress,
but as for work accomplished it will
compare very favorably with it's Dem
ocratic predecess or, and SO far as pa
triotic motives go, far ahead of it. In
the first place it passed an emergency
tariff bill for the relief of the treas
ury, which had it become law would
put an end to the monthly deficits
that show up with unfailing regular
ity The bond bill was another
measure that would have saved mil
lions of dollars to the country had it
become a law Perhaps the most
meritoriOus act it did for the country
was the killing of the free silver act
which the senate passed in lieu of the
bond bill, and close beside it was the
service it rendered in crushing the
life out of the Butler reputation bill,
passed by the Observation-Disclosures
silverite senate. Among other more
important legislation which it passed
was bankruptcy bill, bill restrict
ing immigration, a bill simplifying
and codifying the pension laws, also
one to prevent the determination of
the Alaska fur seal herd, and one to
minimize the loss of customs revenue
through differentiation, All of these
bills were hung up by the senate We
might wish that things had been diff
ferent, but with senate politically
opposed to it, the house has done fully
as we'll as could be expected. Had it
taken the time to have passed any
other important legislation it would
have simply been hung up by the
senate. On all occasions the house
has worked to keep the appropriations
down to the lowest point possible,
while the senate worked to raise them.
Considering the circumstances the
house did fully as well as could be eX-
pected.

ENGLAND AND HUMANITY.

The excuse which England makes
for it's campaign in the Soudan in be-
half of humanitarianism is most
amusing. A thought of the interests
OF humanity is one of the last things
that prompts England in such move.
The real motive in such affairs is that
of greed If there was nothing to be
gained in that direction, England
would not lift finger, no matter to
what extent humanity suffered. In
the late Armenian troubles there was
nothing that kept England from inter-
fering except the fact that she could
gain nothing in the way of spoils.
Humanitarianism cut no figure with
her then. at a time when it should
have been ruling idea. But it seems
likely that the interest which Eng
land suddenly developed in this war
for humanity's sake, will quickly be
dissipated when it is found that the
expenses of it cannot be saddled upon
some one else. 1t was represented by
the British government that the ex-
pense would be born by Egypt, but
the other European powers which are
interested in Egypt through treaty
rights, did not look upon such move
very complacently, especially as Eng
land was to be about the sole bene-
ficiary of the war, and they immedi-
ately brought influence to bear upon
the tribunal which has the settlement
