POLITICS OF
ALL KINDS.


sF Senator John Pyle did not lend
his presence to the dollar dinner.
i A well known Democrat said that
Willard Saulsbury's letter OF regret
to the managers Of the dollar dinner
did not have much of a silver ring
in ii.
Ex-Congressman Handy has given
notice that the Chicago platform OF
h 1896 will be the same adopted in
4 1900 and Bryan, tie 10 to idol, is
to lead the Democrats to victory.
Patrick Neary was not present
at the dollar dinner, neither W as DR..
John C. Fahey.
Twomayoralty candidates were
present at the dollar dinner. Jesse
Z l. Baylis and DR.. Hitch should up
and make themselves solid with the
voters present.
John G. Gray has the Senatorial
bee buzzing IN his bonnet, but we
think it will buzz a good while long
er before he takes ex-senator Geo.
Gray splace.
George W. Bush thinks Mayor
McLear would make an excellent
man tosucceed himself.
John Biggs failed to putin his ap-
pearance at the dollar dinner.
1t begins to look as if everything
was not as lovable in the Democrat
Ic party as some of that faith would
like the public to believe. They are
likely to have troubles of their own
in this State.
With a united Republican party,
the whole city ticket would be sue
cessful in JuneneXt. Nothing could
head them off and it rem aims to be
seen whether the leaders want vic
tory or defeat, for they can get
either.
Republican candidates are not
over numerous thus far for city Of
fees.
There was not much of a howl

Governor Tunnel paid our city a
visit Yesterday. lie came one day
too late TO take in the dollar dinner.
He spoke freely in relation to the
appointing of Senator and said
there was plenty Of time yet to con-

into the State Treasury with the
outlook bright for considerable
increase before the end Of the year.

ONE OF OUR NETCHBORS,

The average yield Of wheat varies
under different conditions. In some
years the average has been over thirty
bushels. Once or twice it went as low
as eighteen bushels. Al even the low
est average. with good prices there
are few industries that will give bet
ter profits. \ late United States con-
sui, in one of his reports of harvest
time, states that the entire labor of
the region was found to be totally in
adequate for the task before it, The
wheat straw was so tall and stout and
so heavily laden with grain that the
work Of reaping and sacking was eX-
tremely eXhausting. The strength of
the growing grain frequently broke the
reaping machines. and the utmost eX-
eruOn OF strong men was required 10
handle the great weight of the sheaves
But while wheat is king in that re-
glon II is by no means the only cereal
grown. The oat, barley and pea crops
are phenomenal. Oats yield all the
way from go TO 80 bushels per acre
In some cases they have been known to
exceed over one hundred. A delegate
who visited the country reports, "One
hundred bushels of oats, and sixty
bushels of barley per acre were com
mon crops. IN one case the oats stood
feet six inches high. the heads were
five feet six inches long. and each chan
twelve inches long, and each chan
case contained, not one but three per-
feet kernels"
Barley, as stated, yields enormous
~. 1t is sought after By brewers ev-
erywhere and it brings several cents
per bushel more than that grown in
other countries Peas yield splendiGly.
They are extremely free from bugs
and grUbs. Used in fattening hogs and
for other feed. they are superior in ev-
cry way to corn. The absence OF hog
cholera in this country is attributed
by experts TO the excellent feed. corn
not being used. Corn can, however. be
grown. but wheat pays 50 much bet
ter that but little attention is given to
corn.
In roots and vegetables, it is esti-
mated by all who have any knowledge
of the matter in these products. this
region has no competitor. Ripe toma-
toes may be seen in prOfusion in the
middle of September. They have been
known 10 ripen as early as the 1st OF
July. Displays Of roots, vegetables.
garden products are made at the agri-
cultural fairs that for size and quality
cannot be equaled at any of the fairs
in the United States. An Ohio gentle
man visiting one of these fairs said he
had never seen anything in Ohio TO equal
it. Three cabbages together weighed
one hundred and twenty pounds.
These were as solid and fine grained as
though they had weighed but six
pounds apiece. Prize potatoes. he said
weighed four pounds each; those
weighing three were so plentiful that
they attracted little attention.

\ WESTERN CANADA WHEAT FARM.

towards Western Canada at the present
time and the large number who are
going there for the purpose of making
it their home, has been the cause Of
an interview with Mr. James A. Smart.
the deputy minister of the interior
for Canada. Re is a gentleman thor
oughly posted and ready at all times
to impart information concerning
Capada's resources. Mr. f. Pedley, also
of Ottawa. Canada, is the superintend-
ent of the immigration branch. which
is almost a department by itself. The
result of the interview with Mr.. Smart
is practically embodied in the accom-
panying article.
The extent of Canada is enormous.
The distance through Canada from the
Atlantic to the Pacific is 5000 miles.
It's area. all told, is 3.456,,3S3 square
miles. OF this it is safe to say. there
is less waste land than in any other
country in the world 1t is not our
purpose to say much if anything about
the older provinces of Canada. as they
are mostly fairly we'll settled. Western
Canada comprises the province of
Manitoba, $4,000 square miles; Brit
ish Columbia. $50. 900 square miles:
Assiniboia, 10000 square miles; Sas-
ketchewan, loo 900 square miles; AL
berta. 106,00 square miles; Athabaska.
1000 square miles, to say nothing OF
Keewatin with about 100000 square
miles, and the unorganized territories
Of the northwest with over 100000
square miles. AS n grand total the
area of Canada in square miles is g.

Alberta and Athabaska alone consti-
tute region larger than all Russia in
Europe. Time was when it was to
the interest of the great fur dealing
companies of the continent to send the
impression abroad that this vast re-
gion was fit only for the habitation OF
he beaver, the buffalo and the bear,
but it has been demonstrated and IS
low generally understood that these
vast plains contain the finest wheat
and grazing lands in the world. This
applies not only to the comparatively
well-known province Of Manitoba and
the districts Of AssinibOia and Alberta
but to the entire region lying four

To properly appreciate the enOr-
