Senator Carter of Montana walked down
the aisle Of the senate arm in arm with Mr..
Clark, member-elect from that state, when
the latter appeared to take the oath OF office.
Then he filed a protest against Mr.. Clark S
title to the seat on the ground that his cleo
tion was procured by bribery and corrup-
ton. Then Senator Carter and Senator Clark
went out and took lunch together. All of
which shows that senatorial courtesy has
lost none of its gracious elasticity and good
cheer.

VISIBLE SUPPLY OF WHEAT.
Potent Factors in Shaping the Value
of The Cereal.

Philadelphia Record.
The American visible supply Of wheat
which has steadily increased since the pres
ent seasons crop movement began, notwith-
standing the fact that exports have been
almost as large and interior receipts much
smaller than those OF 1898, yesterday showed
a small decrease, and incidentally the price
developed a fractional improvement. This
visible supply the eccentric variations OF
which are a puzzle to spectators, is made
up of stock at various points of accumula-
tion exclusive of a vast amount of grain
stored in private elevators and not recog-
niZed in official compilations because not
regular" under contract requirements for
delivery in the various markets. 1t was
held down in 1898 by the replenishment OF
private warehouse supplies which had been
exhausted in 1897 by the attractiveness OF
prices incident to the Letter wheat deal and
the apparent inconsistency of the current
seasons wheat statistics is largely due TO
preponderant movement into public eleva-
tors and to the inclusion in the published
statements this year of stock at Galveston,
New Orleans, Fort William and Port Arthur
which had been previously ignored in official
calculations of wheat stocks.
The actual available supply of wheat can
be but imperfectly estimated by the statsti
of visible stocks, but the latter have never
theless an appreciable influence upon specu-
lation. An excessive supply OF wheat in
sight is a more potent factor in the shaping
of values than any argument based on the
theory of depleted reserves in the hands Of
farmers. The advocates of better prices for
wheat will naturally hail with satisfaction
the sign which appeared in the weekly
statistics OF the crop movement that the ac-
cumulation of wheat stocks at Visible sup
ply points had received a check.

DO we allow too long a period be-
tween the election of public officers and
the time when they enter upon their
duties? This question is suggested
annually by the fiagrant disregard of
public interests manifested by public
officers Just before their terms of office
expire when they know that they are
to re-enter private life and have moth
ing more to hope for in the way of
public favor. The wild rush of the
school board to tie up its successors
with embarrassing contracts and un-
called-for expenditures is an example
in point. The mania for outrageous
conduct in the celebration of impend-
ing exit from office seems to extend
even to the bench, from which one
would expect it to be excluded. If these
exhibitions are to recur regularly it
might be advisable to have newly
elected officers take their places at once
when their certificates of election are
issued, without giving an opportunity
to the outgoing officials to indulge in so
much costly mischief.

Wadena papers are circulating a
report that the Great Northern is
to build a branch from
to Wadena, passing
through the rich farming district in
southeastern Otter Tail county. The
proposed line would reach Parker's
Prairie, which ia very rich district,
but has been left to one side by all
railroads, about as Pierz has. A few
months ago the statement was
made to Col. Westerman. the Nc
Corn,ick general agent, that there
was not another farming district in
the state as rich as the Pierz terri
tory that was as bad off for trans
portation, facilities. Mr.. Westerman
is thoroughly familiar with the
northern part OF the state, and he
declared that one other community
was as productive and as unfortu-
nate as Pierz, and that was Parker's
Prairie, in Otter Tail county. But
it now seems that the other district
will obtain relief first.
