If the conclusions of Mr. Broomhall the
statistician of the English grain trade, are
correct, the probabilities are that we have
not yet seen top prices fors wheat. He
estimates that the European wheat yield
of the current year will be O,000, 900 quar-
tiers go, 10000 ,bushels) less than the yield
of the so-ca1led famine year of 1891. Should
the crop of the Argentine republic fall
short, he says, there would be dhnger of
bread famine in Europe before the next
succeeding crop could be grown and har-
vested.

The premptness with which the wheels
Of justice in Atlanta began turning in the
case Of the murder Of Policeman Ponder
is wort thu Of qespeeial notice and commen-
dalton. The policeman was killed last
week, on Monday night. Before that
week was out three men suspected of the
crime mad been indicted by the grand jury
and were committed for trial. on Mon
day following day before yesterday the
accused were sought into court, and one
Of the defendants was put upon trial. 1t
required only short while to secure a
jury. and before the adjournment for the
day was taken such progress had been
made that several witnesses had been ex-
amined. Had the trial been brought in
New York, Boston or Chicago, the proba-
bilities esthat the trial would not have
been begun for several months from the
time of the commission of the crime, and
one or more weeks would probably have
been required for the selection of a jury.
We cannot help thinking that if there
were more of this sort Of promptness in
various courts of the country, there would
be less of mob violence.

The decision Of the supreme court of

The lynching of those three men In

have, and whether or not it can use its
power more effectively. Two of the vic

ed that such action will be taken There
needs TO be several legal hangings in pun

just as well that the beginning should be
made by the federal government in the
state of North Dakota.

In a sermon in New York, the other
day, Rabbi Silverman gave very strik-
ing and profound Illustration of the Jew
ish conception of God. The theme of his
sermon was that God is a reality, and not
a metaphor. "If God is a metaphor" he
said, 1T means that God is not the Gre
ator. governor and preserver of the uni
verse in reality but only seems so to us.
Among the Jews God is unutterable. The
correct pronunciation of the name of the
Deity has been lost. The knowledge of
the true name was carefully guarded as
a secret, Wherever 1 look 1 see a series
of effects and causes, and philosophicaly
I am led to the conclusion that there
must have been a great first cause. This
first cause l cannot find. 1t is buried in

sit will be possible before a great while
to make up the yellow fever records. When
the figures are compiled it will very prob
ably be found that the death rate in New
Orleans, Mobile and Montgomery has not
been much, if any, heavier than in certain
cities of the north. Yellow fever is, I'M
queslionably, an uncomfortable compan-
ion, but it lacks a great deal of being the
most terrible disease in the catalogue. 1t
is not nearly SO dangerous as some of the
lung and liver troubles which are ever
present in the northern ATTITUDES.

Annexation For Sanitation.
From the Chattanooga Times Dem)

We hardly approve of the idea that we

Art Versus Progress.
From St. Louis Globe Democrat (Rep).

John Ruskn, who is opposed to railroads
because they distigure rural scenery, and
for other reasons, objects also to all forms
of cycling. His language is quite radi-
cal: ITO walk, to run, to leap and 10
dance are virtues of the human body and
neither to stride on stills. wrigge on
wheels. nor dangle on ropes, and nothing
in the training of the human mind with
the body will ever supersede the appointed
Gods ways of slow walking and hard
working" Modern civilization sticks TO
hard work, but it is unwilling to jog along
at the rate of two miles an hour. A hum
dred miles an hour is the pace it looks for
ward to.

Chicago Idea of sunday.
from the Chicago Chronicle (Dem.).

The whole question of the observance of
Sunday is one for individual conscience
and therefore there should be full indivd-
ual liberty and no assumption that as long
as a citizen does not trespass upon the
rights of another he shall be denied priv
ilege or compelled by force to abstain from
some recreation upon Sunday that would
not be denied him upon any other day.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-Paymaster
John Corwine, U. s. N, stationed at
Newport, r. l., has absconded, taking
his check book with him. This state
ment is made on the authority OF the
navy department. Yesterday after
noon Paymaster Corwine cashed .
check for $4,000 and then left New
port. An investigation of his ac-
counts shows that he is between st, 600
and $4,000 short, exclusive OF the
amount of yesterdays check. The &C.
counts of the paymaster came under
suspicion recently and Pay Director
Casper Schenck, general inspector OF
the pay corps. was sent to Newport to
investigate. His inquiry shows a
shortage between the amounts given:
Captain Wallace, the commandant OF
the Newport Naval Station telegraph
ed the navy department today of Cor
wines disappearance and the facts
discovered concerning his accounts.
Immediate action was taken by Secre-
tary Herbert. He sent telegraphic in
structions to the sub-treasury at Bos-
ton and to the treasury at Washing
ton to stop payment on checks signed
by Corwine, and also wired to police
authorities to endeavor to intercept
him.

and could get into the court house

The audience gave him an ovation.

Shaking up Chicago.

CHICAGO, March 3.-Three mysteri-
Gus explosions occurred last night ap-
parently in the vicinity of Chicago
avenue and the lake. The first explo-
sion was so severe that it wrecked
buildings and sent residents of the
fashionable Lake Shore drive quarter
flying from their beds. The other ex-
plosions following soon after were
not severe. Judging from their char
acter the explosions are supposed to
have been caused by excavating dyn-
amite in the northwest tunnel.

complimented the officers OF the Houd


by saying that during his connection
with the Legislature for over fifteen
years he had never known officers
more faithful, courteous and attentive
to duty. Again thanking the House
for their expressions, he wished them
the best of health and happy return
to their homes.
Before these resolutions were adopt
ed, and while the Speakers was out a
number of members heartily endorsed
them and spoke of the fact that the
Speaker was always fair and prompt
in his rulings.
This was not said in perfunctory
way, usual in such cases, but the facts
justified the remarks of members, and
they actually meant what they said.
During one of the many interims
which occurred during the day, Mr..
Robinson made an eloquent spe ech,
in which he said, in parting from fel-
low legislators, that he was glad
brotherly love had returned to South
Carolina, and that partisan fe cling
was forgotten. He illustrated his be-
lief and endorsement OF the idea by a
joke, which, happily told, elicited
much laughter.
The remainder of the session was
taken up with recesses and the recep-
ton of conference reports. The COM
mittee on free conference on the leg
islative supply bill reported that they
had agreed. 1t met with the approval
of the House, in that it gave proper
salaries for certain employees for extra
work.
When the House returned to its ses.
sion, Mr.. Patton offered a resolution
that the regular legislative investiga.
ton committee of the Office Of Treas.
uror be app ointed. After the Senate
had agreed the Speaker appointed
Messrs II G. Patton and G. W. Gar.
ris as the committee. The chair ap-
pointed also Mr.. John P. Thomas and
Mr.. Burns on the Dispensary.
Mr.. Thomas offered resolution,
which was adopted, that the broken
historical mace be repaired. This was
agreed to.
Mr.. Thomas offered a concurrent
resolution to allow the South Carolina
Club to use the hall of the House of
Representatives for one evening in
November next. This was agreed to.
At Ais the House went to the Sen
ate to ratify bills. They returned but
a few minutes after and sat around
for several hours awaiting Senate
concurrence. Finally a bill in refer
ence to the election of trustees of
schools in Newberry was agreed to, as
we'll as the supply bill, which had
taken up so much time.
After several hours Mr.. John P.
Thomas moved that q committee of
three be appointed to visit the Cover.
nor and inform him that all the bust
of the House had been completed and
it was ready for any other messages
from the Governor. Messrs. Bacot,
W. II. Thomas and E. D. Smith were
appointed the committee on the part
of the House. Mr.. Townsend sug.
gested that the Governor wss SIM
the Penitentiry, referring evidently to
the Murphy case, which the Governor
was investigating. The House then
went to the Senate for the purpose
of ratifying acts.
On returning, and after the usual
regular formal and legal preliminaries
the House adjourned sine die a few
minutes before o'clock.
