The Price of wheat.

The extraordinary advance in the price
of wheat within the last week or two is
not due wholly to speculation. 1t seems
that a mistake was made in the estimate
of the amount of wheat in the country
at least It is claimed that a mistake was
made-and when the mistake was discov-
cred it became apparent that there was
not anywhere near as much for export
as it was thought there was.
The government estimated the wheat
crop for the year ending June 80 next AZ
go, $1,000 bushels. AT the beginning of this
crop year there We're 100000 bushels on
hand. The years stock, therefore, was
$50, 900, coo bushels. For home consumption
the estimated demand was 3iS, 756 900 bush
els. and for seeding the requirement was
placed at 100000 bushels. For ten months
and one week OF this crop year-that is,
up TO the end of the first week of May
there were exported 100000 bushels.
From these figures It is apparent that there
has been distributed 100000 bushels more
than there was for distribution. Clearly
ihese has been a mistake somewhere.
Either the government made an error in
It's estimate Of the crop or else the per
capita consumption of wheat in this coun-
try has not been as great as the estimate.
But whatever the truth is. It is apparent
that there is not much wheat In the coun-
try for export. But there is big demand.
A strong demand and a small supply Is
what is sending up the price. If the wheat
farmers who sold their wheat in the fan
for a dollar a bushel had understood the
situation, they would be much better of
financially than they are.

In our dispatches yesterday il was stat
ed that the navy department had consid-
cred the question of the probability Of
SPANS sending the g~ater part of her
fleet from Cadiz 10 Manila bay with the
view Of regaining possession Of the Phil
ippines and had come to the conclusion
that Admiral Dewey was safe from an at
TACK from that source. No doubt SPANS
largest cruisers could carry coal enough
to last them from Cadiz TO Manila bay,
and If they could not they might get a
small supply at some of the ports on the
route. Warships of belligerents are per-
mitted TO pass through Suez canal Hence
if a Spanish feet should start at once
for Manila bay it could reach there as soon
as the cruiser Charleston and the troop
ships which have been ordered to Manila
from San Francisco.
There are two reasons, however, for
thinking that Spain will not undertake
to recover the Philippines. One Is that
she would have to send the most of her
best ships to the Philippines in order to
have much of a chance for victory, and
that would mean the leaving of her West
India colonies to lookout for themselves.
The other is that if she should send her
best ships to Manila bay we would at
once send fleet to menace her coast.
The chances are, therefore. that Spain will
take no steps to recover the Philippines
during the war. She will take her chances
of getting them again when the day of
settlement arrives

There is some squabbling over Admiral
Deweys politics. Some Democrats claim
that he is Democrat, and Richard Crok-
er's Democratic club, in New York, elect
ed him to honorary membership the other
day. Dewey is a Republican, shouts
the Philadelphia Press, and says that the
Democrats are doing a very disreputable
act in claiming the victor of Manila as
their own. To the majority of people in
this country il does not matter three
straws whether Dewey is a Democrat or
Republican; it is sufficient that he is
an American. and that he whipped the
Spaniards.

Speaking of an indemnity.

From the Philadelphia Record (Dem.).
If Spain were abe to pay us such in
demnity as the cost of war and of occur
rences before the declaration of war would
justify the United States in demanding it
would simplify the situation. We could
take our money and thereupon surrender
possession of Spanish territory to Spain.
But Spain's inability to meet the indemni-
flying demands of the United States will
force this government to maintain fts
control of the Philippines and of all other
dependencies of Spain which IL may lay
hold upon before the war shall have end
ed. We shall have made ourselves respon-
sihle for the maintenance of orderly gov
eminent and will probably have our
hands fun for years to come in REFRESHING
rapine and in keeping the peace among
populations incapable of self-rule. The
task of restoring domestic tranquility in
the acquired Islands may prove more
difficult than the expulsion OF the Span
Iards.

The Paris Figaro expected TO see the
Spaniards at Manila wipe the Americans
out of existence. Said the Figaro re-
Gently: With the fine, generous ardor
of the spauiards, we ought to expect some
brilliant fighting and heroic combats. And
why should not the Spanish ships come
out victors in the fight in the Philippines?
They are less modern than the others. it
is true; but they have the advantage of
numbers, and besides. material things are
not everything. We must reckon with the
bravery OF those who work the guns. and
who possess an ardent faith in the nobn-
ity and rightfulness Of their cause" After

volunteers and Cigarettes.

The percentage of volunteers who have
been rejected by the examining surgeons
for physical defects has been so large In
some cities as to excite comment. Natu-
rally there has been inquiry as to the
cause of these defects. 1t is stated that
the defects Of at least 80 per cent. of those
rejected are due 10 cigarette smoking.
If what these physicians say is true the
agitation in behalf OF legislation prohibit
ing the sale of cigarettes TO boys is com
mendable from every point of view. Not
only ought there to be a law prohibiting
the sale of cigarettes to boys, but there
should be very severe penalties for violat-
ing the law.
We are not prepared to say that all
cigarettes are hurtful to those who use
them. but there does not seem to be any
doubt that somo kinds of cigarettes are
1t may be that all kinds are hurtful to
boys.
Some makers of cigarettes have pub
lished statements to show there is nothing
harmful in the goods they sell, but
whether there is or not it is certain that no
brand of cigarettes is beneficial TO boys.
Therefore, the sale of cigarettes to them
should be prohibited. Men ought to be
able to take care of themselves. If cigar
cite smoking is injurious to them, ana
they continue the practice, knowing its
bad effects, no law can help them. They
would manage to get cigarettes whatever
the law might be. With boys, however,
the case is different. Very few of them
would contract the habit if the tempta-
ton to do 50 were not always present s.
The showing which the examination OF
the volunteers of some localities makes is
startling Il is so startling that steps
should be taken at once. in every state,
to check the cigarette habit among boys.

The American people, who have the ad-

ports of all the war news, can only pity
the inhabitants of Havana, who are shut
out from the world and can have only
such news as The quixotic Spanish COM
manders see fit for the censors to give
Them. The consequence is that the Ha-
vanese get a most distorted view of
things. An illustration was noted in the
dispatches of yesterday. From a private
letter from Havana 1t was learned that
the people of that city were more than a
week ago celebrating the capture by The
Spanish fleets of the cities of Mobile.
Charleston, Boston and Pensacola. The
idea is, TO us, supremacy ridiculous. of
course; but to the deluded Spaniards in
Havana the report no doubt seemed plaus-
lble as well as highly gratifying. The
Havana people have for weeks been ex-
peeting the Spanish warships to come to
heir rescue and raise the blockade. When
they learn that the ships, so far from
holding American ports, have run awav
to the other side of the ocean, their in.
dignation and disappointment may take =
course fun of danger to the officials who
have so cruelty deceived them.
