THE farmers Of the agricultural dis
tricts of the South and West have no
doubt, cause to rejoice at the advance
in the price of wheat and other farm
products. This is, Of course, the re-
suit of short crops in foreign countries,
and is not due to any legislation by
the last Congress. 1t is not pleasant
though to think that after a struggle
of years, during which our farmers
have stood the competition Of the
wheat fields of Argentina, India, and
the other agricultural districts of the
old world, that now, when they have
a chance to pay off the mortgage on
the old home, the Republican party
steps in with a vicious tariff law that
makes them stand and deliver por-
ton of their hard earned profits. Yes,
the farmers of the United States re-
joice at the advance in prices, but
realize that when they want clothes
for their children or supplies for their
farms, the trusts are on hand to exact
a large portion Of their earnings.
ALTHOUGH the reports from abroad
have been such as to confirm the be-
lief that wheat would advance to even
above 81, yet it has remained station
airy for the past week. Our dealers,
in Shepherdstown were paying at the
time of our last issue 90 to 81 cents,
while today the price is only 90 to SO,
slight advance over last weeks fig
ures. From every quarter of the world
a shortage of crops is reported.
The Marx Lane Erpress, London,
in its issue of Monday, reviewing the
crop situation says: 1.-THE weather has
been adverse to the completion of the
harvest, and the quantity of grain still
out is considerable. The French wheat
crop is estimated at 81 100000 quar-
tiers by the chief writers Of the Paris
press. Correspondents Of English bust
ness firms state that the crop will
amount to from 100000 to 96,O0O,.
600 quarters. The Acknowledgements
crop is stated to be 100000 quar-
tiers. If this is true it adds greatly 10
the gravity of the situation. The
American crop is reckoned by careful
judges to be 6S,500,000 quarters, or
100000 quarters Improvement, to
offset decline of 100000 quarters
in Russia and 100000 to 100000
quarters in France. All the figures
point therefore to a deficiency in the
worlds supply of 100000 quarters.
Should the demand be actually as large
a. this the stores of old wheat will be
used up and a crisis of great serious
ness will only be prevented by gener-
ally good prospects for the spring OF
1898. We are not, however, entitled
to argue that such prospects will be
more than the average"

SICK OE BUSINESS.

The hard times have had one curious
effect--they have made many corpora
tions tired of business. This is al
UNIQUE condition and is almost solely
racteristic of the present depression.
1t is not good sign.
The Phenix Savings Bank, which
was forced by pressing creditors to
close Its doors few days ago, wants to
retire. 1t is probable that nobody
would lose q cent by its liquidation
aud most of the depositors have faltb
enough III it to continue patronizinp
the instr tuition il it chooses to continue
in the harness, but the bank has 60,
enough aud wants to stop here and
now. 1t evidently feels that there L.
no profit In q continuance and wishes
10 leave the field to more sangulne
rival.
Most business concerns have fell
rhaky the past few years, but few hav,
been honest enough to come ont boldl,
aud say that they feared the quick
sands. Had they done 30 many OF III
would not now be mourning the loss
of invested money.

There is one peculiar thing about
Pawtucket theatre-goers, and that is
when play happens to strike their
fancy they will go to everyone of the
remaining performances. Take for
Instance the two companies that have
peen at the house this week. The
patrons of all the performances are
about the same, and will venture to
say that twenty-five per cent of those
IN attendance this afternoon and even
ing have witnessed the performance OF
the company before.
It is to be hoped that the chanass Of
Col. l.. b. Pease, Rhode Island's en-
didate for Public Printer under Presi-
dent Mckinley, will not be injured by
the fact that he was run down by BIZ
cyclist in Washington last evening.
this occurrence does not by any means
show that Col. Pease is slow, bat Oh
the other hand that the wheel that did
tue damage was ridden by careless
cyclist.

FRANCE.

Franco is nation that is accustomed
to do unexpected things. 1t has hau
more of al mp and down existence than
most other countries and has felt the
rhock OF war in full measure. The
statement that 1t proposes to expend
some 100000, 900 in naval armament
does not awaken 80 much surprise as II
might If the story were told about any
other government.
France has known what it is to be
without war material. She is not an.
too we'll equipped for struggle at
present and the millions that she pro-
roses to expend will not be wasted. She
Exists in the heart of o monarchial
country and secs wars and hears rumors
of wars on every hand. Perhaps the
i'm pending conflict between and the
powers has aroused her to sense of her
need. We DO not think, however, that
any nation except mercurial France
would 30 suddenly take upon herself
the task Of adding 500, 100000 worth Of
ships to her navy at one time.
France expects to purchase with this
money forty-five large war ships and
l75 torpedo boats. This project, if
carried to successful completion, will
put her in the front rank of the naval
powers of the world. 1t is an immense
undertaking and we hope France will
see her way clear to bnild every ship
that she has planned.

TOUR ABOUT TOWN

A little incident which occurred in
the Boston Probate Court the other
day, was at once numerous and pathet-
ic.
Judge McKim WAS hearing q case,
and had called line of witnesses to
stand up md be sworn. Among the
number was Alexander Msssie, an old
artillery sergeant, who served during
the war in Rhode Island battery.
"Hold up your right hands," said the
clerk, addressing the witnesses. A row
of hands went up. SerSt. Massie put
mp his left hand. He was standing with
his left side toward tho jndge, and the
fact that the lefs hand was raised was
clearly apparent. ..-
Held UP yonn.. right haud, sir" said
The Judge, severely, emphasizing the
word fright"
II wish to God / could, judge" said
the old sergeant, turning his right side
toward the Judge, and wagging the
empty sleeve, "but I left it down
South"
There Is good joke being told at
the expense of one of the strongest ad-
vocates Of temperance in the city. It
appears that the other day he Was re-
quested to bring home bottle OF am.
monia. On his way home that evening
the ammonia was bought. The facts
of the case thus far are clear, but the
remaining part Of the tale is not quite
so plain, for imagine his horror when
the wrapper WAS taken off the bottle at
home it was found to contain the poor
est grade OF Pawtucket whiskey. Our
temperance friend would give consider
ablo to have q satisfactory explanation
OF the affair.
There is an old saying, believe to
