Rise in the Price of Wheat

Wheat sold in Baltimore last Saturday at
SO cents bushel, rise in little more than
two weeks of 182 cents. In accounting for it,
experts say the crops in Minnesota and the
two Dakotas will be far less than usual, and
so will the crops in Manitoba and the North
western provinces, The amount for export
will not be over 1875, 900, 600 bushels, whereas
we exported 222,618,OOo bushels in 1899,
and 2l7 300, 900 in 1898. Ia New York sales
for July delivery have been made as high as
938 cents. Both New York and Chicago re
port large foreign buying on the report of
short crops.
This is the cause of the rise hut the Repubi-
can press and orators will soon be telling the
people that it is all owing to the good work of
Mckinley and the Republican party.

AGAINST IMPERIALISTS.
Anti-Imperialist To Hold A Big
Convention.


pecan DlSldtcH 10 the Baltimore sun.
NEW YORK, June 25-At an important
meeting of antiimperalists and others at the
Plaza Hotel here today preliminary arrange
ments were made for holding great anti
Mckinley elderly convention after the
Democrats have framed their platform and
named Bryan for President.
The gathering at the Plaza had been an.
nounced as Ii meeting of the executive com
mittee OF the American Anti Imperialist
League, hut il proved TO be much more than
bad heen expected. Invitations had been
extended to representatives of other political
elements, and the responses indicate that the
independents OF the country are this year al
most united against Mckinley.
That politics makes strange hedtellows was
never more wildly apparent than at the Plaza
meeting. Men Of national note, who were
foremost As Gold Democrats ia the last cam
paign, were declaring that it was better for
the anti-imperialists 10 seek the election of
Bryan than to run any danger OF getting
another four years of Mckinleyism. Others
who were in 1896, active ia the Mckinley
Sound Money League, were talking in much
the same way. Singular, too, was the pres
ence OF an active Bryan force in the person OF
Elwoods Gorser, secretary otthe Teller Gowne
Silver Republicans, who propose To call them
selves in the coming campaign the Lincoln
Republicans. Mr.. CorSeF who Is personal
friend Of Representative Towne, 'ried to
swing the auti-imperialists into line for Bryan
today, aud after the session was over he was
of the opinion that he hadaccomplished his
object,
'Mark my words, he said. every maui in
that room will vote for Bryan. They viii not
even ask him to change in any way his posi-
ton on free silver All they want Is con.
ciliatory or conservative statement ol the
money question ia the Democratic platform.
They will not ask Mr.. Bryan to depart from
his original principles or 10 do ANYTHING that
would lessen his vote IA the West.
The anti impeualisls did not adopt any
resolutions layOrng candidates. Carl Schurz
was against doing anything of the sort. Ed
ward Atkinson took similar position, except
that he strongly urged that the hgh, IN the
Congressional districts should not 10 any event
be neglected This contest To capture the next
Congress is being vagei in 20 close districts.
The auti -imperialisiS iu most OF these districts
support the Democratic candidates, bat 10 a

sentative has declared against Imperialism.

John Walter Smith.

A number of Maryland Democratic papers
have favored Gov. Smith for Vlce-Presideht'
Gov. Smith says he does moi want the nomi-
nation and the Baltimore News remarks ne
NAV be the Roosevelt of the Kansas Cl'y
convention By this is meant he Will not ue'
cline the nomination if the convention persists
in giving it to him. But there the similarity
between Gov. Smith and Roosevelt enus'
One is a man of brains, of conversative ana
sound Judgment, of large business and imam
cial interest and capacity, and oil iegsiatlVe'
congressional and executive experience; the
other is a man of excessive vanity. One
made his own fortune; the other inherited IT,
or he wonld never have possessed one. One,
although he never sought office, was never
defeated. He served ten years ~ the Mary
land Senate. and before finishing out his
term. was elected to Congress. Before hlllng
out his term in Congress he was elected Gov
ernor, redeeming the state from RepnbIcan
rule. and has made an excellent Chief EXecu-
tive. His record, in being elected TO higher
office before filling out lower one, Is much
like that of Grover Cleveland. The other has
sousbt Office. and sulked because he could
not get it. He was put mp Tor Governor OF
New York. because the Republican machine
there was in sad plight, and it was thought
that hero worship would carry him through
He was elected, but only by slight plurality
He rode up hill, or started to do So as
Rough Rider, but would nave been driven
into the sea but for the fact that his regiment
was sustained by negro regiment. Aud the
whole United States Army would have been
routed. but for the courage, ability aud dash
of Little Joe Wheeler, the ex Rebel II
there were any heros of San Juar 1t was
Wheeler. But, then, Spain only made
slight show of resistance, for honors sake
Roosevelt is not to be mentioned with
Gov. Smith. He is a man that wore no man
collar. Roosevelt has been, 10 some extent,
the tool Of Boss Plat He did no, want the
nomination for Vice President, simply be
cause his vanity led him TO believe he would
