IND1A's WHEAT CROP.

The latest news from India is that
plentiful rains have fallen there with
in the last few days and that the pros
poets are that there will be an excel
lent harvest, with a possible surplus
for export in few months. News also
comes from Argentina that the wheat
crop there is going to be very much
better than was anticipated. Assum
ing that these reports are true, and
not merely sent out for the purpose of
affecting the wheat market, they must
be welcome to all who have a regard
for their fellow men. Famine in India
always seems to be more terrible than
elsewhere, probably because Of the hun
dreds of millions of people there, and
even when a food supply can be had
from the outside. still the distress is
always appalling. But now there Will
be no famine.
Naturally the question will arise
what effect the news from india and
Argentina viii have on the price Of
wheat in this country. The wheat crop
here is unusually large and reports
the effect that the wheat crop was
short abroad. This has sent wheat up
and the good price for it has had very
much to do with the revival of pros
perity. If the farmers sold their wheat
when the price was up they will not
be affected by any fall in the price of
it, but if they are still holding it they
would be affected and their resources
more or less crippled; how the specu-
lators in wheat will be affected is a
matter of small concern to the people
generally.
There has been SO much speculation
in wheat in the past few weeks that
one cannot but wonder whether the
reports from India and Argentina are
not for the purpose of affecting the
market so that Spectators may ma
nipulate it to suit themselves. 1t would
hardly be wise for one to sell wheat
short on the strength of the latest re-
ports. He may be caught in terrible
trap.

TALES OF THE DAY.
A Tnhnta to- q Wife,s Tact.

Exchange: A pathetic little trioute to a
wife's tact and -forgetfulness was
given by an old New Hampshire farmer.
The couple had lived happily together
for nearly 30 years, and when the wife
died her husband seemed utterly unable
at first to act, or even think, for HIM
self. The funeral was taken in charge
by an energetic niece, and according to
those who were present everything was
conducted with prooriety. One of the
neighbors stopped to speak 70 the poor

The Chicago Times Herald says that
the farmers crops must not have all
the credit for the revival of activity in
merchandising, however, but that a res
toration of confidence in safe economic
conditions. brought about by a settled
currency and tariff policy upon which
to protect all business undertakings. is
one of the prime causes of the coming
of prosperity in mercantile pursuits
There has been some restoration of con-
fidence, but it can hardly be said to be
the result of the policies settled upon go
much as the fact that they are settled,
though so far as the currency question
is concerned it can hardly be said to be
definitely settled SO long as the presi-
dent wants congress TO authorize the
appointment of a currency. commission.
The farmers crops are still entitled to
the greater part of the credit for the
revival of what prosperity there is.

THE INDIANA LYNcHING.

The lynehing of FIVE men at Yer
sailles, Indiana, adds another Disgrace
full chapter TO the lynching history of
the country. The lynching was done
on suspicion as lynchings usually are;
but whether the men were guilty or in
nocent makes no difference. so far as
the crime of the lynchers is concerned.
Every explanation possible has been
given why lynchings are so numerous
in this country and all remedies imag-
Unable suggested for their cure, but in
spite Of explanations and remedies sug-
gested they continue. 1t may seem
that further discussion of the question
is useless seeing that thus far there has
been no abatement of this class of
crimes as the result of the discussion
of it heretofore had. But the discus
sions should be kept up until there is
good fruit as the result of il, and not
improbably it is the only way to bring
about better state of things.
The lynchings mat take place all
over the country are a disgrace to the
American people and a blot upon their
civilization. They show that laws and
the machinery for their enforcement
are treated with contempt and cannot
be vindicated: they show that in the
cases where they are reSorted to that
the people rely upon brute force and
not their laws for protection; they JUS
tify the remark, if any choose to make
1t, that the people of this country have
not reached t:lat stage Of civilization
where they rely upon the methods of
civilization to protect society against
those VINO prey upon II, And all the
people have to bear the stigma and dis
grace of this.

A TRANsGREssoR

When a person who has been guilty
of any crime or nisdemeanor in his life
and truly and sincerely repents of the
same and tries to reform, he should be
given aid and encoura cement in his
attempts: the best interests of society
demand this as well as the dictates of
humanity
A case showing how very hard it is
for a man TO live down a crime occur
red only the other day in New York.
A member of the police force in that
city was convicted at the age of eigh-
teen years of having robbed his en-
ployer. He said his employer had
cheated him out of his wages. Be that
as it may, he expiated his crime by
serving eighteen months in the Elnira
reformatory. After he left there he
determined to settle down, earn an
honest livelihood and live down his
past life. Eventually he got on to the
New York police force. The other day
/ the inspector of police received an
anonymous letter about the policeman's
past life He summoned the policeman
to his presence and told him he could
not remain on the force. The man
made no attempt to conceal anything,
but told ALL
The police inspector did his duty, no
doubt, but what blow it was to this
man who was trying to reform. Per-
haps he should have told of the Incl
dent in his life when he was made a
policeman, that view was suggested to
him, when the inspector talked to him.
but that is a very hard thing for a
man to do.
/ This man who committed a fault in
his youth and has repented of it, and
see1ks to refogn. is deserving of SYM
| pathy and aid. How true it is that the
lot of the transgressor is hard.

STATE PRESS COMMENTS.


Ogden Press: The Griffin divorce trial
at Salt Lake has come to an end and
Judge Htles has it under advisement.
The recital of the grievances has not
served to commend the sympathy or re-
spect of the puiHc for either party to the
case, and whatever the decision may be
cuts but Ettie figure.
Logan Journal: We understand that
the Republican city committee has de-
cided TO put I'D a straight party ticket
for the coming municipal election. This
is as it should be. No matter which
party is in the majority, the minority
should so down with its colors nailed to
the mast and its principles uncomore-
missed. If one party is right the other is
radically wrong. and there can be no
compromise without loss of self respect.
