in the ordinary money honesty of these
officials, nor that stealing public mon
ey is generally prevalent among the of
ficials. | mean that the standard of
the public official for determining what
they may or may not do has of late
years fallen immensely from what it
used to be, and now ought to be, and
that the people generally now see with
distrust and alarm that officials no
longer even pretend to live up to the
former high standard. AS to the rem
edy, that must come mainly from an
elevation of public sentiment, and a
different conduct of the people at the
they can be brought to look more to the
fitness of the candidates and pay less
attention to party ties in the case of
local officials, there isn't much hope of
securing more efficient men. One
means tending to secure the desired re-
suit would be to require all local Off
Gals to be elected between the presiden-
tial years instead of in these years, as
is mostly the case at present. A very
desirable addition to the statutory laws
would be one rigidly prohibiting all
public officials from receiving in any
way favors from public corporations.
This would have a tendency to dimin-
ish the popular distrust now prevalent
about the courts. An abolition of the
fee system in Offices of the high grades
and the substitution of reasonable sal
aries would allay popular mistrust and
remove some of the prevailing igno-
rance on this subject, and by showing
how far legitimate official emoluments
are below what they are supposed to be
might diminish the rush for offices and
the expense of candidates. But these
are mere surface details. The principal
permanent cure for official corruption
is, after all, the cultivating and con-
tinual cherishing of a universal senti-
1uent that what is a shame and
crime in private life is equally a shame
and a crime if done in political life,
and that the punishment and stigma
meeted out to the private criminal
shall be equally visited upon the per-
petrator of similar crimes in public
Office When the sentiment approaches
maturity integrity in public men will
be found to be much more general
and of far higher grade than it now
is. OF course, we can no longer hope
that offices will be filled by the very
best men in the community. The great
requisite of modern life is money, and
offices honestly administered can no
longer compete in this respect with
other lines of employment. Then a
public office does not, as formerly, be-
stow honor upon the holder. 1t is too
generally recognized that in most con-
stituencies the methods of a Brlce or
Hanna would be more efficacious than
the personal worth of Hamilton or a
Jefferson"

The coal famine brought about by the
mine operators themselves in causing a
suspension of the output for the purpose of
realizing famine prices for coal already
mined now contains some promise of de-
veloping into a boomerang. According to
the latest news reports, large local con-
sumers of coal are contemplating action
that shall free them from the danger of
future .'squeezes' similar to that under
which they are now Suffering The mine
operators who are new reaping the benefit
of the high prices brought about by a
manufactured coal shortage will have
themselves TO thank if their future trade
suffers owing to resentment against their
present course.

NOT SATISFIED EVEN YET.
Philadelphia Record

An unsavory account of the zeal of an
Ohio food commissioner is apt to lead to
the inference that the sugar trust is dis
satisfied with the present tariff, which is
pouring unearned millions into its treas
ury. This overpatriotic commissioner has
been singularly effective in finding impur-
tiles in the foreign sugars not refined by
the sugar trust. Austria and Holland OBJ
jected. and after an investigation. several
treasury experts have pronounced the SUI
gar pure. Although the accused was &C
quilted, there is still an impression that
the sugar trust demands more than the
substantial tariff protection already af-
forded.

the consumer comes by his own. If the

THE wOnLD's HARVEST.

The London Economist Of July 31st
gives a review OF the worlds harvests.
The wheat crop is poor in England,
the potato crop it is feared will be
very poor, the hay crop and root crop
passible, and England is much better
off than the continent.
The .french wheat crop is 40, ,000, 900
bushels less than the crop OF 1896 the
Italian wheat crop is short 81 600, 900
bushels; there is similar shortage in
the Hungarian wheat crop; Russia is
short in wheat and rye; in Roumania.
Bulgaria and European Turkey the
crop is 80 per cent short; Germany
has nearly a normal crop, while there
is a good crop in Holland. Belgium,
Denmark and Spain. Summing up.
the Economist puts the deficiency Of
this years European wheat crop be.
low that OF last at certainly 240,000,-
900 bushels. 1t says the United States
are relied upon 10 make up this short
age, as neither Australia nor India
will have any surplus, and Argentine
is as yet an unknown quantity. This
makes a good outlook for American
wheat for this year and partially for
next, for the worlds surplus will prob
ably be lower when the next harvest
comes in than it has been before for
years. That accounts for the Eastern
boom. As we said, the great present
prosperity comes from short crops
abroad, and the Indian famine.

THE FARMERs' YEAR.

The worst black eye that silver will
receive this year is liable to come from
the farmers. A friend from the Puget
Sound country says the crops in Ore.
gon and Washington are immense,
that many fields are averaging forty
eight bushels of wheat to the acre,
that it is now selling at 20 cents per
busbel, that the farmers are greatly
elated and do not want any light
weight dollars. We suspect the same
feeling pervades the Mississippi val
ley, for that is what followed in 1890,
when the Russian famine gave them
such market for their grain. They
have made no money since up to this
year, but that does not matter, says
the Salt Lake Tribune. Their memo
ries are inherently short, and they do
not know that II silver had been re-
monetized two or three years ago, the
advance would have been just as great,
that they would now be getting 81 SO
per bushel for wheat instead of S5
cents. The Secretary of Agriculture
estimates that the advanced prices
will be to the farmers equal to $780,
100000 for this year, or on an average
500 for each OF the 5000, 900 farms.
They will not see how the advance has
come, they will not realize that with
normal crops throughout the world
next year they will not make a cent.
