Some Timely Bicy Gle Matters Under csnsid
Grafton, To-day.

ALBANY, N. Y, February 11.-At
this mornings session Of the L. A. w.,
assembly, President Elliott submitted
his annual report. He said :ssI very much
regret that but few railroads have as
yet taken any steps as to the preserva-
ton and safe carriage of bicycles,
which all roads accept for transporta-
ton, on one basis or another"
He believes the gospel of good roads
should be spread through regular stand
ard publications; also, that the league
should maintain press bureau. to
send out regularly, road matter in
thousands Of papers, editors 1t which
are already willing to publish the data.
He believes that is of the greatest inn
portance, and. money being in sight,
the matter should be placed In the
hands OF able hired man, whose un-
divided attention could make 1t pro-
nounced success. He also believes
that the most available remedies for
the disease known as "bicycle klepto-
MANIA" is to pass laws which insure
very severe penalties for this kind Of
theft. 1t is the only practical way.
Secretary Bassett submitted his an
nual report, showing the total menu

Expert witnesses are having fine time
displaying their learning and partisanry
before the jury which is trying Luetgert.
1t is clear they are not clear whether
the bones found in the sausage-maRers
vat are those OF woman or OF hog
or were manufactured for the occasion.
No suggestion has been made, as far as
we have observed, that they are the bones
of a dog. All the same. the sausage
makers of Chicago find their trade very
dull now, and all of them heartily wish
the trial would come to an end soon.
Judging from the brief synopsis of the
evidence telegraphed from Chicago, 1t

THE WHEAT QUESTION.


The latest estimate Of the wheat y'e'u
Is $500 600 bushels. and Is made by
crop reporter whose report last yea
proved nearest the actual marx Tug
same authority says that "consuinp,io"
will be ss5 900 bushels. and the REQUIRE
ment for seed $4,000 bushels wh''e '''
coo 900 bushels are said to be brought W.
from last vear. 80 that 2ss,oco.ooo bushels
would remain for export" And on avs
figures a depression in the wheat nar"e'
is predicted.
However. the New York Tribune whicn
has proved very reliable and CONSERVATIVE
| IN discussing the wheat market, says tha'
these figures arc misleading. The TRIBUNE
states that nobody imagines that actua'
stocks at the close Of any year after
good WELD will be reduced as low as they
were July 1st, when they were s''"
since July i, 1891. At least, IL co"''"us''
az ,ouch wheat as was then In the couh-
try must be retained to provide 1or 'he
fn,rra and n larger quantity VIII GER
ta.nlv he retained unless prices go very
high or. as the next harvest draws neal
there is a certainty Of another very nea''
weld. Our contemporary, therefore, CON
tends that for practical purposes the
ouantitv of wheat reported on hand July
lst must be deducted from the remainder
available for export, and properly iaisei
quantity. 100000 bushels being as niue
as can reasonably be allowed Tor stocAS
retained by farmers. in commercial s'oieS
and in the form of -four. at the end OF
good crop year. This would leave, IL aduS'
actually available for export no more
than 100000 900 bushels, which Is but 4o'-
OOO. Ooo bushels more than the average e~-
ports for the last four years
The Tribune also thinks that the au-
tboritv above quoted underestmates the
consumption demand and after making
calculation TO show that the quantity
available for export will not exceed w.
OO0 Od0 bushels, declares that 1t is not 10 De
doubted that the worlds markets VIII
need from this country much greater
increase of supply unless foreign coi-
sumption is surprisingly reduced.
The Tribune discredits the government
report of the yield as being based upon
too small an estimate OF the acreage pu'
none the less its calculations lead 10 the
conclusion that If a marked depression III
prices comes II will be only temporary
and due in large measure to speculative
influences. At the same time II "ai"'

FRIDAY. ..........OCTOBEh l, 1891.
THE SITUATION.

The colored voters of Virginia, as a
rule, have always taken their orders
from Washington. Once upon a time
these orders came through the Freed
mems Bureau, but since the demise Of
that great paternal fake they have been
sent through the Federal office-holders
At present, Messrs. Brady and Agnew
are the mediums of communication The
orders of the Mckinley Administration
are conveyed through the Internal Reve-
nue. Bureau. And so we find that Col
lectors Brady and Agnew are the adj
tutants of the administration in the Old
Dominion.
These gentlemen in their efforts to
crush the ex-Confederate Lamb. are
having great success in the belt of
country where the negro voters are in
a large majority. but they are not getting
along so well in the up-country. They
have struck several snags in Jake Yost's
district; also several liz General Walk
er's district also. several in unex-
pected places here and there throughout
the State.
The net result Of the Republican pri-
mary meetings is that there will be
good deal Of State convention at
Lynchburg. True. quite a number of
counties will be unrepresented there, but
the eloquence and enthusiasm of such
men as Colonel Lamb, Pat McCaull, and
Jake Yost will compensate TO a large
extent for the absence OF the Federal
office-holders and the hopers for Federal
appointments.
We understand that State ticket will
be put forth at Lynchburg. and that
the members thereof will enter the field
In active opposition to Tyler, Echols,
and Montague. Be 1t so, we rather like
the idea-but with all of the efforts of
the administration exerted against the
movement. we cannot honestly say we
think the Lynchburg ticket will be
elected
Colonel Brady, who is the leader of
the Republican party in this State, and
who seems to have a greater pull at
Washington than any other resident of
Virginia. has planned his campaign with
the evident purpose of giving Tyler,
Echois. and Montague a walkover, while
he makes his fight for members of
the Legislature But that trick will not
win. All the Gold Democrats who are
really good Democrats will make IT q
point TO vote not only for our State
ticket. but for our legislative ticket.
The best evidence that a man can give
OF his party loyalty is to vote both
OF our tickets-our State ticket and our
legislative ticket. And II this be gene
rally DONE Colonel Brady will be out
witted. He Is trying to keep Republic
can State ticket off the track so that
party lines may not be closely drawn,
and so that the Gold Democrats will i
feel at liberty TO vote for Independents |
for the Legislature. but our information |
IL that few Gold Democrats will 10 so. !
Most OF them wish to rejoin our party, |
fully and unreservedly, and this they |
can do best by voting the Democratic |
tickets IN their entirety. The fact IS
tina. Hanna and Brady may as well sur
render their ''no-convention'' scheme sor
their design of lulling the Democrats
into fancled security, while the Republi-
cans and Independents carry of legss-
latiye Victories has been discovered.

The New York Herald says, editorially,
that a Virginia mob has varied the mo-
notony by lynching a woman, and adds
that arrests and indictments of the
lynchers would undoubtedly prove an ex-
oelent stimulant for the Indiana Of
ficials, who seem inclined to do nothing
to wipe out the stain of the Versailles
affair."
The only trouble about the Herald's IL
lustration of varying the monotony is
that the Virginia mob referred to seems
to have had no existence, except In the
Imagination of several correspondents
AS for the Herald's deduction, we doubt
whether there is anything that would
stimulate the Indiana officials to wipe
out the stain of the Versailles affair.""
seeing that the do nothing policy Of these
officials is sustained not only by the
public. but the pulpit of the Versailles
vicinity. Rev. George c. Clouds, while
attending a Methodist conference at In
dianapolis last week, said "the better
class" including himself, regarded the
Versailles wholesale lynching of robbers
as necessary" and they still feel that
no mistake was made"
Necessary" for what? Necessary
to protect property from being stolen.
Ard yet time and again we have read
Trades from the northern pulpit against
lynchings at the South for the usual
crime" that our people thought
necessary to protect our women from
fate worse than death.
