TIE WHEAT CROP.

ON. Y. journal of Commerce.)
Tho officially estimated acreage of
spring wheat is Il little larger than a
year ago. and the condition promises
Z of n bushal per acre less. Translat-
ing the condition figures into bushels
we have n probable decrease of 7000,-
600 bushels in the field. The condition
on June /, then, promised $4,000 900
bushels more of winter and 1000 900
bushels less of spring wheat than the
condition figures OF June l, 1899. The
crop last year. as officially stated. was
36 per cent. less than the promise on
June |. y like shrinkage in the figures
for this year would result isl n total
wheat crop of 100000 or fifty mil
lions more than last year. In view of
the unfavorable news since the first of
this month il may be anticipated that
the shlinkage will be considerably
greater than last year. But the condi-
zion figures on June 1 pointed to a crop
Of 619, 200. 900 bushels; the harvest of last
year, as stated by the Department of
Agriculture, was 5i7 100000. 1t would
require a shrinkagc of 11.G per cent. to
bring the indications OIL June l down
to the Official figures of the last har-
vest.

THE ESSENCE OF THE TROUBLE
Baltimore News.)


The essence or the trouble between
Great Britain and the Republicans has
been the conflict Between the claims
of an arrogant Imperialism aeld the ma
tional rights Of n governing people.
We side with the Beers not because
their government IS more Democratic
than that of England hut because they
are n brave and sturdy race OF free
men. loving the instructions under
which .theY have grown up in n land
which they have made thir own through
generations OF struggle and hardship.
They have Il right to work out their
destiny in their own way; and the pre-
tension tha't because they are n few
decades behind England herself :n GER
tain matters now regarded as essential
to liberal government. therefore Eng
land has right to put an end To their
national existence. is q pretension full
of veil in itself and portentous of great
er evils to come.

SOME MISFIT INFORMATION.

The Richmond Times is spearlng the
the socialistlc dragon again. About
once n week, on an average. 1t per-
forms that feat of daring and rescues
the Democratic party. When the
dragon is genuine there is no objection
10 this particular speciality. which is,
indeed, infinitely better than vaude-
vile. and is always free. What is OBJ
jectionable. however is the attempt of
The Champion To evoke the applause
OF the breathless spectators by prod

lshed by the Bryan Democrats OF Ken

porter of MIR. Bryan, is representative
of the radical" wing of the Democracy
and therefore must speak by the card
Then 1t quotes the Dispatch as fol-
lows, concerning Mr.. Bryan:
His caution. his carcfulness TO steer
clear of the appearance OF s0cal.stic
tendencies. his socialisiic supporters set
down as commendablc prudcnre while
privately expressing the greatest conf.
dence that he VIII al the proper time be

itics. ln the event Of victory or defeat
the Ncbraskan must so forward or

he will be forced TO cease his filtration

If this came from Il newspaper such
as the Times represents the Dispatch to
be- it would have much significance.

THE LINE OF CLEAVAGE.

The dispatch from Shanghai stating
that the American, English and Japa-
nese ministers favor the restoration of
the deposed Emperor Kwang Su and
the maintenance OF Chinese integrity,
while the ministers OF France and Rus
sfa favor the partition of China, squares
SO perfectly with previous expectations
as to raise the conjecture that 1t may
be based on inference rather than fact.
Ii the matter has gone so far as the
dispatch indicates, 1t puts q graver as
pect OH the situation than it has yet
worn.
The case seems to stand that Eng
land Is not in a position to demand a
fair share of China if the division take
place now. and is, therefore. opposed to
1t. The Washington administration,
for political and commercial reasons,
is bound to view the contemplated di-
vision with disfavor. Japan rgards any
further encroachme0t of Russia on
Chinese territory with open hostility
Russia, as we have previously pointed
out. has the -hpnd. If France
stands with her She may be disposed
to force ma tiers to an issue, and there
in the danger lies.
The INCLINATION of the Dowager EN-
press to resist the allied forces will
give excuse ito Russia ITO land addition
al troops, n pretext that seems to have
been anticipated by the other Powers
who are moving to checkmnte it by re-
questing japan also to land a strong
force. If Russia shall oppose the re-
quest TO Japan. she will disclose her
hand and practically avow her inten-
ton to dominate the situation. In such
O contingency Germany would proba-
bly, be the determining factor. If she
sides with Russia and France there
would either be war or n back down
If she sides with England, America
and japan, Russia would have no
choice but to yield, for their combined
navies and the army of Japan would
be too much for her
There is no concealing the fact that
the danger to all the parties concerned
has greatly increased In the last few
days. The only guarantee against war
between the Powers has been. from the
first, united front against the BOX
ers' and the acquescencc of each in n
common policy. If the differences or
opinion have become so radical as ndl-
Gated, there is danger not merely of
war between Russia and Japan--an out
come that has been probable from the
hrst-fbut between two several coali-
lions of the Powers
Despite the assertions OF Washington
that Minister Conger has been instruct
cd 10 act INDEPENDENTLY. the danger
that the United States will become en-
broiled is not II negligible quantity. If
the fad of the Empress for having for
cign representatives butchered In the
streets persists. and harm "Details the
American Minister, AN explosion will
follow in the United States that will
make this country participator in the
subsequent proceedings be it war or
peace.

DEMOCRATIC PRESS CONSISTENT
(HouSton PoSt)

Houston Post)
The Democratic newspapers OF New
York City. Notwithstanding, the munich
pal government is in the control of
Democrats, has grappled with the
American ice trust md will destroy II
IL the Republican government and the
Republican attorney general OF the
State of New York but do their duty.
The Republican press meanwhile has
been either silent or quite indifferent
to the enormity of the wrong wrought
against the people OF the metropolis by
the ice trust.
These facts are significant. They
show that the war by which the trust
is to be made odious and by which 1t
must be eventually undone Is the crea-
ton and purpose OF the Democratic
press
The idea that the trust is the EXPIRES
sion of progress in business and indus
trial develrFoment is held in favor by
the Republican press. What can be
more natural? The Republican party
owes its control OF the national gov
eminent to the campaign contributions
of the mon whose millions are engaged
in trust operations, and Thy these must
it expect to perpetuate itself in power.
II is not reasonable therefore, to cal
culate upon Republican organs being
arrayed with much vigor against the
source of their party's strength and
the hope of its preservation
