The Consent Of the Governed.

~ SOaASSAAs Va as& SoNCIASkSs
The consent of a large number of the
governed has been dispensed with in
North Carolina, where the democrats

says the election was won by "busi-
LESS like methods The amendment
DISTINGUISHING the negroes is a demo-
cratic measure. Its enforcement will
perhaps give the negro an opportunity
to become a useful citizen out of range

rivalry being DESTROYED, the negro will
learn an independence and self-con-
troll that will in the years to come
produce man OF worth aud charac-

OBSERVATIONS.
Which :

The portraits OF President McKin.
ley and Mr.. Bryan, published in last
weeks Courier, are reprinted this week
because Of the many demands for the
picture. The picture of Mr.. Bryan is
not a chance kodaker's shot, but a
large twelve inch picture. representing
IN full Colonel Bryan and General Lee
sitting in front OF their tent in
Florida. The two men were admir-
ably posed for the picture which was
sent to Lincoln and placed in local
photographers window where it re-
manned for several months. The in
ference is therefore not unfair, that
the likeness was satisfactory to Mr..
Bryan and his friends.

startling. The wheat crop Of the
world in 1898. was 2,s79, OOO,OOO sold by
the farmer for fifty cents bushel.
Russia proposes to add billion and a
half dollars to the value of the wheat
crop OF the world. The United States
100000, 900 bushels could be sold for
$3.50 O00.O 900 more. The Russian farm.
ers' wheat would sell for 100000. 900
more. England imports 125, 200, 900
bushels OF wheat, and this agreement
would cost her $4,000, 900 more than
it does now for bread. The farmers
OF the United Kingdom would get
$50, 900. 900 more for their wheat" The
agreement would array the wheat i'm
porting against the wheat exporting
classes, but by the distribution Of the
wealth among the farmers Of the
world, all the nations would be stimu-
lated and enriched. 1t does not mat.

is, so that we can afford it.

Russia American Wheat Come

1\O604 -fAxOGftG1u w uG1I AO80GY
In the August McClure's the story
is told Of the attempt in 1896 by the
Russian government to induce the
United States to CO operate with the
Car in raising and maintaining the
price of wheat to one dollar. Hon. J.
Sterling Morton, then Secretary of
Agriculture, replied very decidedly to
the communication referred to him
by the Hon. Richard Olney, then
Secretary Of State. He thought
the relation Of supply and demand the
only regulator and that ''it is not the
business Of government to attempt,
by statutes or international agree
ment, to override the fixed laws of
economics" The secretary's opinion
was so adverse to the proposition. that
he discouraged even the invitation
TO conference between represent
atives Of the two countries. He re-
piled that he did not believe 'sfor a
minute that conference Of the repre-
sentative countries which export
cereals would throw light upon the
nature OF the crisis, to which the
memorandum alludes."
The Russian department OF finance
acknowledged the rebuff by silence,
but its members are still unconvinced
and stubbornly anxious for a confer
ence between agricultural economists
OF our country and theirs. To con.
vince the United States that their
project is feasible, members of the
Russian department Of agriculture
offered statistics covering a number
Of years 0f Russian harvests and the

une price or wheat. The figures GER
tainly prove that speculation and not
wheat scarcity has effected the price
OF wheat. What spectators can do,
the not too-eontdent Russians believe
can be done by the two fabulously
wealthy peoples who produce ninety
per cent Of the wheat Of the world.
In 1893 Russian wheat sold for
fifty cents a bushel, notTithstand-
ing that the laws Of supply and
demand. working freely, would raise
the price. In Is wheat sold for one
dollar bushel. "From 1882 to 1898 the
area Of cultivated land in the world
increased only five per cent. Crops
gathered increased at the same ratio.
AT the same time wheat consumers
increased eleven per cent, and the
rate per capita increased steadily dur
ing the same period" In other words,
there were not only six per cent more
people eating wheat in this period
than in the preceding period, but
each individuals appetite for wheat
had grown by what it fed on, and each
one ate more wheat, yet the price fell.
The Russian governments sound con-
clusion was that something was inter.
feriug with the law of supply and de.
mand, for the law was dead letter.
The artificial causes which forced a
price Of fifty cents for wheat in 1893,
when there were more people TO eat it
and when people ate more Of it than
in 1883, when it sold for one dollar,
the Russians had the courage to inves-
tigate. They decided that the specu-
lators were the culprits and they have
since been studying out a way to cir
cumvent them.
Mr.. Whelpeley says that "rhe
scheme devised by the Russian Min
lister Of Finance, intended for pre-
sentation to the United States, was
bold, but simple in its provisions.
The two governments we're TO enter
the market as buyers of wheat at the
price Of one dollar per bushel. They
were also to agree to sell this wheat
at price which would cover the
original outlay, interest on the money
invested. and the cost of doing the
business. According to Russian com.
putation price Of one dollar and
eight cents bushel included all these
charges. If the supply Of wheat was
such that foreign buyers could not
pay, the two governments were to alb
sorb the surplus grain, through banks
or other agencies, and store it against
time when it might he needed to
supply deficiency in the CROP"
"rhe justification is that all the
wheat Of the world is used for food.
With guaranteed market of one
1ollar bushel, no one could buy it !
Tor less. Dollar wheat means no de-
,rease in consumption, because the
Increase in price for the small guam !
.ity used by each consumer would be !
Insignificant, and wheat has many :
lines before reached the dollar point
without decreasing the amount con-
umed.
Therefore, neither government {
would be obliged to become an actual G
purchaser Of wheat. 1t would still be
old to consumers" I
A permanent fixing of such rate p
would stimulate wheat growing and 9
decrease the pressure Of population in
rOwded cities. But the wheat belt

ot break corner upheld by the =
United States and Russia. II com. II

OF the mountain women's desire to
learn to cook better, sew better and
know something OF the world on the

thetic. When the work stopped in
the spring, their sorrow at parting
from their friendly apostles and teach.

$500 was raised at the annual meeting

Justice for Convicts.

The charges Of brutal treatment of
convicts at the Nebraska penitentiary
are still uninvestigated by the officials
to whom the citizens of the state have
delegated this duty. In this instance
Georgia has set an example to Ne
braska. A convict was killed there
by a whipping boss. who dashed him
for refusing to work when he was
sick. When the man died the grand
jury heard Of the cause, examined
witnesses and brought in a true bill
against the boss, charging him with
Involuntary manslaughter.

Street Railway Fares.

For several years prior to 1896, there
was in force in this city an ordinance
which prohibited any street railway
company from charging more than
twenty-five cents for each package OF
six tickets. 1t required every com.
pany to keep for sale by the conductor
or driver Of each car, packages OF
tickets Of the required number, for
twenty-five cents each, ready for de-
livery during the running Of the car,
to any passenger applying and paying
for the same. This was reasonable
regulation, and 1t afforded to the
patrons Of the companies. and espec.
tally to women, a most convenient
method Of procuring street railway
tickets, and that at reasonable price.
The present ordinance requires the
company There is now but one and it
has monopoly Of business) to sell
eleven tickets for fifty cent or twenty.
two for one dollar, and requires the
company to keep them on sale at three
convenient places in the city during
business hours. II there be place in
the city where such tickets can be
procured outside of the Office Of the
company, 1 do not know where it is.
The council would consider the con-
venience Of the patrons of the cars il
at the next council meeting it should
