OUR BIGGEST WHEAT YIELD.
This Years Crop the Greatest in the
Country's History.

This Years Crop the Greatest in the
Country's History.
With the return Of our hosts from the
field of battle, crowned with the laurels
of victory, comes the joyous news that
this years wheat crop will be the largest
ever known in this country's history. The
yield for the year, on the most trustwor-
thy authority, will be 75O,OOO,OOO BUSH
els. OF this amount 400 OOO,O 600 is winter
wheat and 100000 bushels the spring
crop now being gathered. The 1891 crop,
which amounted to Gil, 100000 bushels
and was the largest yield heretofore, is
thus easily eclipsed
These figures mean much to the farmer
and the people generally Of this country.
In the first place, the great wheat crop
represents money value of S0OO,O0O,OOU
at ruling prices where the wheat is found.
One-third of the wheat crop of the whole
world is raised this year in Uncle Sans
domain. The productive country that has
grown this wheat extends from ocean to
ocean and from the latitude of southern
Texas to the Canadian border. Most Of
the crop comes from the broad prairies of
the Mississippi valley, and about $780,
OOO, 600 bushels of it from the two Da-
kotas, whose principal product is wheat.
The product in these States is about twice
what it was last year, for one reason be-
cause there is an increase of about 70 per
cent in acreage.
Busy scenes are now being enacted in
these new States, where farms are meas
ured by the thousands of acres and where
wheat raising is carried on on scale
known nowhere else in the world. For
mile after mile about the frequent railway
stations are vast fields where grain stands
three feet high, and at the stations the
conspicuous buildings are the large ele-
vators ready to receive the crop. AT
many of these railway towns there are
enough elevators to supply each half doz-
en- inhabitants with one.
The Dakota people are learning, and
learning much, from Russian farmers who
are settling in the States, and who I'M
derstand little else than wheat raising.
They are learning how to cultivate wheat
at less expense than formerly, and how to
hold their grain for paying market
The entire Northwest has fortunately
been free from devastating storms during
the growing season, and this great factor,
added to increased acreage and better
farming, has brought a state of affairs
which precludes all thought of the "starv-
ing farmers of whom we heard so much
few years ago. These same farmers are
happy now. They are Independent, be-
cause prosperous. They are becoming
capitalists They are no longer paying
II and 20 per cent for money, but are pay
ing 6 per cent, so as to have money to buy
more land on which to- raise big wheat
crops

BARRED BY HAYTI.
Permission to Establish American
Weather Station There Is Refused.

Permission to Establish American
Weather Station There Is Refused.
Early in the summer steps were taken
by the administration to establish a chain
of weather bureau stations in the West
Indian islands and Central America, so
that the approach of hurricanes originat-
ing in those waters might be announced
to shipping on the Southern coasts. This
was the weakest point in the weather bu
reau service, as sufficient warning Of the
approach of these tropical storms could
not be given, owing to lack Of informa-
ton. The various Governments within
whose territory it was proposed to es-
tabiish stations readily gave consent, with
the single exception of Hayti. While the
specific reason for her refusal is not given
in the correspondence between Minister
Powell and the Haytian foreign Office, it
is undoubtedly due to a fear on the part
of Haytians that the establishment of the
station at Mole st. Nicholas might be the
beginning of territorial acquisition there
by the United States.

Asiatic Squadron to Be Made Strong

Admiral Dewey's squadron at Manila
Is to be REINFORCED. At least three OR
four of the crack vessels of the North At
lantic feet are to be sent to Manila in
the near future They will go by way
Of the Suez canal and will reach Asiatic
waters in the early fall. The details Of
the eastern squadron have not yet been
completed, but it is known that the bat
tleship Oregon, the fast cruisers New
York and Brooklyn, and, possibly, the
battleship Indiana, are to be oyerhauled
and put in shape for the trip. The osten-
sible reason for sending four big fighting
vessels to the far east is that Admiral
Dewey's ships, having been in commits
sion so long, cannot be properly docked
and cleaned for months.

Castillo Gives Cuban Version of Dis
pute with Garcia.
Brig. Gen. Joaquin D. Castillo, who ac-
companed Gen. Shafter to Cuba as the
representative of the Cuban army, return
ed a few days ago on one of the Govern
ment transports to Montauk Point, and
has submitted his report to the Cuban
junta in New York. Gen. Castillo made
statement concerning the disagreement
at Santiago between Gen. Shafter and
Gen. Calixto Garcia, in which he alleges
that the American commander voll1n-
tarily promised to turn over the city to
the Cubans when it was captured, and
then broke that promise. He says that
all the trouble could have been avoided if
Gen. Shafter had been less brusque in his
manner Gen. Castillo makes a denial
of all the charges that have been made
against the Cubans.

Followers of Aguina1do Have Been Or
dered to Be.in Planting Rice.
Aguinaldo's adjutant, 1nfante, says that
the insurgent leader has ordered his men
to lay aside their arms and to plant rice
for future war necessities. The situation
growing out of the half hostile attitude of
the insurgents to the Americans is i'm
proving. Aguinaldo, who had control Of
the city's water works, has permitted the
use of the water without it being neces-
sary to compel him to do so. Gen. Mer-
rift has relinquished the military COM
mand at Manila to Gen. Otis and has as
sumed his duties as military governor.

No More Convict Camp Scandals.

Under the new convict lease plan to
be adopted in Georgia it is believed the
horrors that shocked civilized people
will be done away. The system of
lease will still be in use. but it will be
modified so that lessees of the states
wards and prisoners will be subjected to
strict inspection.
For one thing, ablebodied convicts
will be separated from women, boys
and girls and incapables. One feature
of the old method that made the lessees
SO hard ON the prisoners was that they
had to take care of the whole lot, able
bodied and incapable, together. In fu-
ture the women, the boys and girls and
the inirm will. be placed upon a state
farm and cared for. At the same time
they will be obliged to work as they are
able, raising crops such as the land will
produce. Thus they will not be left to
degenerate In idleness.
OF a~blebodied convicts there are
some 2,O00. The lessees can pay a
higher price for the service of these be-
cause they are not obliged to keep up a
proportion Of weak and lazy prisoners.
1t is expected that even more money
will accrue to the state under the new
plan than was the case under the old
one. 1t brought in $25. 900 a year. An
excellent feature of the new system is
that all the lessees and all the convict
labor camps will lie under the immedi-
ate supervision of the state board of
prison commissioners.

IN one afternoon lately the United

and listened to one speech on the same
subject. 1t passed IA private pension
bills and then heard a long list of eulo.
gies on one of its departed members.

poke that was not bad. The honorable
senators probably had an appetite for

SATURDAY ...... APRIL 23, 1898


Ore Aspect of the Maine Case.
There is one consideration earnestly
to be commended to the attention of the
president and congress before the Maine
inciden: is allowed to drop entirely. 1t
may be that in the apparently greater
subject OF tine future of Cuba the Maine
disaster may be let slip by the presi-
dent. But be should we'll consider first
this fact: There is in the minds of the
American people a unanimous belief
that If the Maine disaster is allowed to
go by without ample reparation to the
last farthing being made by Spain, SO
far as reparation is now possible. then
nc respect for the United States flag
will ever again be felt in any port of
the world. There will be a feeling
among foreign peoples that a naval YES
sci of the United States can be blown
up any time, anywhere, and we shall
not have the manhood to resent it. If
the Maine had been a German or an
English ship, the harbor of Havana
would have been filed in the shortest
time they could reach there by the most
formidable fighting craft of Germany
or Great Britain.
The inhabitants of foreign ports had
little enough respect for our republic
even before the Maine disaster just be-
cause we had not a great navy or a dis
position to fight except among ourselves.
1t Is a humiliating fact that the United
States government has not protected its
citizens in other countries as it should
have done. American travellers in for
eign countries have been treated with
insolence and insult. and our govern
ment never resented it. The govern
ment of Great Britain presents a noble
contrast to u pusillanimity in that re-
spect. We commend this aspect of the
Maine case in all seriousness to Presi-
dent Mckinley and congress before they
drop into oblivion the memory of the
dead heroes of the battleship Maine.
