1t is a matter for very real con-
graduation not only on the part Of
the Methodist church but Of all our
townspeople, that Rev. w. NJ. Balch
continues his charge in tins city. AS
is well known, other very healthy
charges have for a year or two past
been putting forth quite persuasive
efforts to capture the fair-haired
orator. Ashland paid him ardent
court last year, making herself a
rather dangerous rival. At the
recent Conference, Rev. Balch's adj
dress and his active work on the com
mittees, brought him still further
into prominence and gave him a very
wholesome distinction That he
should leave River Falls while the
new church, to whose construction he
has added so large an element, is still
under way, would be distinctly an
fortunate. and we don't surmiSe that
the pastor himself had any specia
desire to seek another, even though
larger, charge. At any rate the rea
cause for congratulation remains
Rev. Balch is a capital pastor, and he
is ours.

The American Agriculturist' says;
The Western farmers financial
condition is wonderfully improved.
During the past three years he practiS-
ed such economy that with a slight
improvement Of wheat prices last fall
and fair values Of cattle. sheep, and
hogs. the thrifty farmer gradually
reduces his debts. With good prices

the mortgage. The fall in the inter
est rate is as remarkable as the other

Wheat and silver, instead of being
.'hand in hand these days, are not
even neighborly any longer. They
stood side by side in price on Septem-
Der lst, 1896, an ounce Of silver and a
bushel Of wheat being worth at that
time sixty-seyen cents each. by
September lst of the present year the
ounce Of silver had fallen to fifty-one
cents and the buShel OF wheat had adj
yanced to one hundred and three
cents, making the difference between
them wide. Recent reports from
Russia, which show that her grain eX-
portation of 1897 has been only about
two-thirds that of 1896, and that heI
this years crop will not warrant the
expectations Of any grain, coupled
with the shortage in other parts OF
the world, Indicate that disparity vii
be still greater within the next few
months.

The Easton Gazette is much agitated
over the Senatorial fight which is going
on in Maryland to elect a successor to
Auther P. German. For fear the
Eastern Shore and Talbot county will
not get the plum, it editOrially sets
forth its claim in this manner:
We are not backwoodsmen here on
the Peninsula, we do not boil oysters
till the shell is soft, we do not plant
goOseberries to hatch goslings; we
make our schools second to none in
the country, we read every literary
work that comes from the press from
the Kreutzer Sonato down to Trilby,
we subscribe and pay for and read
every daily paper published in America
and all the magazines; we know q
mule from a "nigger" and treat them
as different beings, We can preach in
modern English or swear by the Shak-
sperean code, we can arbitrate, hgitate,
fight, run or stand up to be knocked
down, but we cannot give up our
claims on the Senatorship.
We must have it. Talbot must have
it, because it Is fairly, logically and
unselfishly her right.

THE Milford Chronicle in reviewing
the political situation in this State, and
the important features brought out by
the recent Union Republican Conven-
at Dover, closes it tersely in this way:
The Union Republicans are paving
the way for future victory in Delaware
1T may not come next, or for several
years-but it will come; for in the
Legislature of 1899 there will sit at
Dover almost in equal numbers Demo
Gratis and Union Republicans from
Kent and Sussex ounties-without
the aid Of even one of the irregular
Regular" Republican votes. New Cas-
tie county cannot elect even one legis-
lator without Union Republican votes,
and the city of Wilmington eau send
but one.
1t was necessary therefore for the
Union Republican party to begin the
work of reorganization, and as time
sheds a halo of honor on their work
at Dover, its wisdom will become
plain.

''BossEs Quay, Magee and Martin

delphia, to select for and on behalf of
the people ~ Pennsylvania, a Senator
Of t. States and a Governor of
the state; incidentally, Bosses Quay,
Magee and Martin will on the same oc-
casiOn choose for Philadelphia a
Mayor"
The bosses rule the Republican party
of Pennsylvania and the party, like
subjects to a mighty King, take off
their hats to them and submit to their
authority. Pennsylvania needs a revo-
luton like Maryland had, to free it
from "BOssism," and the sooner the
wise people of that State come to this
conclusion, the better it will be for the
body polite.

THE Centreville Observer is boom
ing ex-Judge Russum of Caroline
county, Md, for Gormans seat in the
Senate. 1t has the following to say:
Judge Russum comes forward as a
candidate for the United States Senate.
The Judge is in a much better
position as a candidate than he
was two years ago. Then he had not
a single vote, his county representatives
being Democratic. Now one of Caro-
lines votes is Republican. The Judge
would be a wonderful Improvement
over Mudd, who seems to be proba-
bility. The Judge is a man of very
high character, fine ability and incor-
ruptible. If we must have a Repub-
lican Senator by all means let it be
Russum.

man worthy of its steel. Harvard
should have won. Her team work
