TIE VOTE EnR REnENr-

The fact that the head of the fusion
ticket in the last election carried Ne.
braska by some 1900 majority, while
one of the candidates for university re.
gent on the same ticket was elected by
only that many hundred, occasions con-
siderable comment I'm political circles.
The explanation, however, Is not so diff.
in the votes poled by the different can
didates on the same ticket Is to be ac
counted for, not on one, but on sew
eral grounds.
First. the introduction of a new ballot
form necessarily confused the voter and
many men threw away their votes on
one or more of the officers because they
did not understand how to mark the
ticket In some instances they labored
under the delusion that by putting
cross opposite the first candidate of
their party on the ballot they were vot'
ing for straight ticket, while others
forgot that they were to vote for two
regents instead Of one, and put the
cross-mark only opposite the first name
on the section which contained the
nominees for regent. This accounts
largely for the excess of votes ac.
credited the men whose names came
first.
Another factor not to be overlooked
is the vote polled for the prohibition
candidates. The prohibitionsts made
nominations for university regents, but
had no candidate for supreme judge. 1t
may be taken for granted that practi-
cally the entire prohibition vote went
to Holcomb for supreme judge, while
the larger part Of it went to the pro-
hibition candidates for university re-
gents.
Still another factor that had a part
in the result is the undeniable an
tipathy toward Omaha and Omaha men
which has been cultivated and en-
couraged in other Nebraska towns. The
story was assiduously circulated during
the last few days of the campaign that
some sort of combination was on be-
tween the Omaha candidates on both
tickets to manipulate the management
of the state university should they be
elected in some way to the advantage
of Omaha. While this was a pure fig
ment of the imagination, it no doubt
operated to keep down the votes cast
for the Omaha nominees of both par
ties. 1t is to be hoped that Nebraska
people will outgrow such petty jeal-
ousies.
With these facts before them the vote
on university regent need not be
so much of puzzle for the public.

Judging by the way they are being gathered

A public school in St. Lous-the largest
and finest in the city-has been named after
Eugene Field, the poet, who was born and
spent the early part of his life in the Mis-
souri, metropolis.
Delaware publicly whips some of it's male
malefactors, but no woman has been thus
punished by the state for nearly fifty years,
the law eXempting them from its infliction
having been enacted in 1855.
The beard OF trustees of the Minneapolis
Home for Children and Aged Women has
received from Ex-Governor and Mrs. John
S. Pillsbury 100000 to be invested in a
permanent fund, the interest OF which is
to be spent toward the maintenance Of the
institution.
The Massachusetts, State Board OF Health
has expended about 100000 during the last
sixteen years, during which time 1t has
collected and examined about 10000 specI-
mems of samples OF food and drugs, has
conducted about 1,400 prosecutions against
offenders and secured the inniction OF fines
amounting to $4,000.
The pawnshop opened in Chicago by the
State Pawners' society Is already doing so
we'll that there Is talk OF increasing the
capital stock People anxious to pledge their
possessions at the interest rate OF 1IR per
cent are numerous enough to crowd the
shop and give the four clerks employed more
business than they can attend to.

FRENCH HATRED OF ENGLAND.


1t is easy to understand French
hatred of England, but it is somewhat
remarkable that this feeling should be
so vigorously exhibited at this time
when France IS preparing for the eX
position of 1900 and hopes to make it
greater success than any previous
worlds fair A more practical people
would, under the circumstances, re-
press their animosity, but the French
press, unQuestionably with the popular
approval lose no opportunity to show
hatred of England.
This has very naturally aroused a
spirit of retaliation, and it is stated
that a movement has been started in
England among an influential class to
boycott the Paris exposition. 1t is
highly probable that such movement
will be largely successful, and in that
event the exposition will lose most
valuable patronage. England would
probably, if relations We're friendly, be
more largely represented at Paris next
year than any other country, but as
it is there Is reason to expect that very
few English people will go to the eX-
position. Nor will this probably be the
full extent of the injury, for an English
boycott would hardly fail to have an in
fiuence elsewhere. 1t would afford n
plausible excuse for people of other
countries not to patronize the eXposi-
ton, either from sympathy with the
boycott or on the ground that Paris
would be less attractive socially by
reason of the absence of English So
ciety.
From a practical point of view, there.
fore, the manifestation of French an
imosity toward England at this time is
most indiscreet. and it has gone so far
that the mischief probably cannot be
remedied. No doubt it can be regarded
as settled fact that the Paris eXposi-
ton will get little or no English sup
port and thus the unfriendiness will
be aggravated. What more may result
from it in the future 1t is impossible to
foresee, but it seems evident that the
relations between France and England
are likely to become more strained and
the time may not be very remote when
clash will be unavoidable. The ten
dency certainly appears to be decidedly
in that direction.

PRICE or WHEAT,
Harvest mt Home mud Abroad and the
nnnGc of rrIccs.
Springfield tMassD Republican.

Springfield CMassD Republican.
The governments final report on the wheat
crop will not be given out until next month
Meantime the actual conditions OF the mar
ket favor lower prices and the Chicago quo.
tation for December wheat has been gradu-
ally declining for some days until 1t now
stands at about 81 cents The price year
ago was about 66 cents. The advance to be-
tween 20 and so cents. which began last
winter and was we'll maintained until within
few weeks has thus been nearly wiped
out and the tendency of the market is still
downward, Notwithstanding the prevalence
of foreign war. which was expected to
enhance the value OF all foodstuffs.
1t is becoming apparent that the worlds
great wheat harvest of 1898, and the smaller
but still large crop Of the present year, have
sGfiiced to meet all current needs and restore
the reserves to nearly normal figures after
the extensive depletion of 1897. Visible
stocks in Europe and America, according to
Bradstreet's, now amount to ia, $50, 900
bushels, or 67,000.000 bushels more than at
this time in 1898 and $1,000 900 bushels more
than in 1897. Indeed they are now only
about 100000 bushels below the supplies in
view on November 1. 1896, and 24,OOO,00o
below those of the same date in 1895, when
wheat at Chicago was huctuating not far
above half dollar a bushel.
An important factor in the present decline
Is Argentine shipments and outlook for the
growing crop 1t is now early summer there
and the wheat crop is said to be excellent.
But the immediate depressing factor Is the
continued outgo OF the old wheat from that
country long after the surplus, from the
harvest of the last season should have been
marketed. Last weeks shipments OF old
wheat from Argentine amount to 1752,000
bushels-a weekly quantity rarely exceeded
in the height OF the marketing season: and
they bring the total shipments since January
1 up TO 57,S66,000 bushels. This compares
with total shipments in 1898 of only about
2S,OOOOOO bushels, and with record total
OF scne 59,000,000 bushels in 1894 These
continued large exports out OF season from
the southern republic prove not only that
the last Argentine wheat harvest was greatly
underestimated, but that the growing crop
Is In such condition as to warrant the clear
ing away Of the old grain to the unusual
extent indicated.
1t would appear that we are entering upon
a normal period OF cereal abundance and
very low prices compared with what they
nave been in the last two or three years OF
world scarcity. American agriculture has
profited vastly from the recent situation as
1t did in 1S79-Sl, and again in 1912, but
those times Of harvest failure abroad and
plenty at home are unusual and come only
about once in ten years

General Miles in his report upon the
condition OF the army calls attention to the
unusually severe conditions of the service
since the outbreak OF the war with Spain
He says;
within the last eighteen months several
regiments have been required to leave
their stations In the extreme north, move TO
the islands of the West Indies to engage
in a campaign in summer, return to north
ern stations in the autumn and winter and
move again TO tropical islands in the Pacific
and engage In campaigns under the most
difficult circumstances. Rarely in any serv-
