Wheat.

The situation has eased off to a
considerable extent from the activi-
ty notable a week ago, and where a
great deal of wheat changed hands
when the market was ruling about
the top, there is very little doing,
either at tide water or the interior
just now Exporters are we'll stock
ed up with grain and have cleared
out spott tonnage, until but two
carriers are available on the Sound
at present, though one steamships is
due to carry considerable cargo via
Suez. Wheat in interior is i'll strong
hands, and the surplus, outside
of Walla Walla district, is reduced
to low point, only extraordinary
developments i'll values being likely
TO create any considerable operation
from now Oh until harvest. Weak
ness has succeeded the strong tone
manifest a week or two back, ex-
porters now quoting csc for club
while blue stem has lost 1ac of the
margin heretofore maintained, and
is listed at csc.
Receipts have shown the innu-
ence of increased selling movement
east of the mountains, and were lar
ger, amounting to 226 cars, or 2o3,
400. While next week got a re-
markably large start, with Tuesday
showing Io2 cars inspected in up to
noon. The movement reflects pre-
vious activity rather than current
operations, however. Foreign clear
ances from this port were 27S,67o
bushels.
Foreign markets have ruled
steady and unchanged on the week. .
Demands from abroad are rather
slack, and meet with full response
from all export countries, with the
exception of Argentine. Worlds
stocks are decreasing upon a reas-
enable scale, but not fast enough to
create any apprehension of short
age, while the incoming crop is
making very good progress. The
acreage OF wheat abandoned last
season, which cut down the harvest
IN Indiana, Ohio and Michigan by
some three million acres, will be less
han one-sixth that amount this
year, and in spite of some reports
II damage from insects, the general
ondition of winter wheat still aug
rs a record-breaking yield. In the
'acific Northwest excellent rains
ave supplied the only factor lack
10 to secure progress Of the crop.
. heat is somewhat late, but looking
rong and thrifty, and unless there
Mould be reyersals from the Tune
lnds or fall rains, theoutput should
ford full export surplus.

put it into execution. Calling Shorty's at
tentiou TO the field glasses, he asked him
to put in his closest shooting at them, TO
get rid of their owner, or at least shake
his nerves and confuse his vision. 81
then crawled down through the brush and
weeds to the little creek at the bottom OF
the hill. On the other side of the creek
a fence of dry pine rails, pieced out with
stumps and brush, ran up to the abatis.
The wind was blowing quite strong
breeze in that direction, and 81 conceived
that n fire might run up that way, and
burn the abatis, and cover the scene with
smoke. He crossed the creek, and gained
the corner of the fence, which was filled
with dry brush and weeds. He furtively
gathered some more together, from as far
as he could reach, struck match and at
once the whole was in n blaze, when he
ran back to his place. The strong wind
and it caught in the trash" of the abatis.
Hold on. boys! Cease firing" shouted
81. Now all load up," he continued,
take n good aim at the top of the works,
and then Wen yell at the top of our voices.
They'll think the charge is coming, and
jump up to meet it. Then pour it in to
them. Every man bring down his meat"
"All ready?" he inquired. 'Hooray for
Injianny. HoOray for the 200th Injianny
Volunteers HoOray for Abe Lincoln!"
The rebels swarmed on the works. Ev-
cry shot from 81 and his companions
brought down a man. The rebel front
bazed with a volley, but at the same in
stant the flames rushed through the fallen
timber of the abatis, and raised a vail of
fire and smoke all around the rebel front.
The rebels seemed to think that the Yam
kee charge was coming straight on through
this. They could see nothing beyond the

monotony of watching for the regiment to
move forward off the next hill, and start
ing to follow it, finding that it had re-
considered and come back to its hill, till
the trains could be gotten across ford,
or some ether obstruction overcome.
1t was the first time that they had had
to bring up the rear for so long a time
that they had forgotten all about the
annoyances of that position on the march.
and it was such a contrast to the exciting
rushes they had lately been making as to
be very exasperating. Everybody grew
sleepy, tired, and savagely irritable. Harry
and Monty had their usual mill over moth
ing in particular; ALI and Gid came to
blows as to whether the army was start
ed for Savannah or Charleston; Radbone
and Grimshaw Quarreed over the merits
of wood burning and coal-burning loco
motives, and 81 spoke GROSSLY to Shorty
about moving off before he was certain the
regiment was going.
Uncle Ephraim had returned to the
headquarters, to look after the Coloners
horses, and he and Aunt Minerva Ann had
n bitter wordy strife over whether he as
hostler had any right to boss de chief
cook-l lady oh de rijimint.'
There was some friction at headquarters
between Pete and Sandy over Abednego
having kicked Snndy's horse.
Shorty" suggested 81, eff we had some
thing good to eat. You might ride over
to some of those houses there, and see If
you can't pick up something"
Bout as much sense as your susgesta-
tions usually have" snorted Shorty.
What do you suppose is left after Kill

Corps both been over the ground? And

WHEN WILL EVANS GO?

There are many people in Washington
who believe that Evans will not retire be-
fore the middle of August. They say that
he will be allowed to conclude the fiscal
year, and make big showing of saving"
1t will take some time to get in all the
reports from the different agencies, divi-
sions, etc, after June 80, and then he
must have abundant time for the great in
tellectual labor of preparing his report,
with by-plays of thrilling stories for the
country press of how he has been chased
through brush and briar by the fierce and
merciless pens,~a attorneys, thirsting for
his rich young blood. This will enable
him to hold on to another months salary
as Pension Commissioner, and take him
out just in time to escape a bolt from the
G. A. II. National Encampment.
They also say that he is going to report
the unprecedented saving of $6,000,000
from this years appropriations. This is
the aggravating hypocrisy of his admins
tration. Every year he has gone to Con-
gress and asked for a great deal more
money than he has intended to spend
Then all the soldier-hating papers have
set up a great cry about the enormous
expense of the pension roll more than a
third Of a century after the war" Then
from week to week he has filled their col
umns with stories of frauds he pretends
he has discovered of vicious schemers he
has baked, the rare luck of the country
in having man of his altogether unprece-
dented shrewdness and honesty, and then
makes showing of several millions which
he has rescued from the clutches of
harpies.
So the poor veterans and their widows
catch it both ways. They are blamed for
an amount of money which is never in
tended to be given them, and are jeered
at because they are disappointed in get
ting any part of it.
While getting bigger appropriations than
ever he is pairing down the poor little al
lowances of veterans and their widows
until the average pension under the act of
June q, $780, is only S10S2S, where it
was Sl21.51 under Raum, II years ago,
and eight out of every nine on the whole
! roll get but So a week or less.
This is the kind of politician who
makes game Of the veterans and their
widows in their old age.

AFTER 10 years patient, skillful work
the Minnesota Agricultural station is able
to announce that it has developed a breed
of wheat that will add an average of two
bushels per acre increase to the product
Of the States of Minnesota and the
Dakotas, which, at an average price of
20 cents per bushel will add $22,500,OO0
to the yearly receipts Of the farmers. The
process has been to take the best speci-
mems of female flowers from approved va
rieties, and fertilize them with pollen from
the best male flowers. While the best av-
erage product from such faYorite varieties
as Blue Stem and Powers Fife have ay-
eraged somewhere in the neighborhood
OF % bushels per acre, the average from
the new breed is about 2S bushels.

To PAY FOR THEsLAyEs.

Some of the Texas papers published the
following:
Resolved, That reparation for wrongs
done alone can restore union of the
| hearts: that for the preservation of the
| territorial integrity of the Union two bill
! lion doll2-c vaTttt; - slave property were
wrested from the Southern States, in yio-
| lation of the Constitution, as is evidenced
by the emancipation proclamation of the
President. and justice demands that the
| United States Government pay IN yearly
instalments in the treasures of the
States that composed the Confederate
States of America the value of this proper
ty. to be expended by them in the payment
of pensions to Confederate soldiers.
Resolved. That the Convention of
United Confederate Veterans soon to meet
at Memphis. Tenn, he requested to take
favorable action on this matter. and set
on foot campaigns of education that Will
elevate public sentiment to a plane OF
virtue from which our countrymen VIII
be able 10 see their plain duty on this sub
Ject.
Resolved. That if this work is not ac.
complished during the life of the United
Confederate Veterans; that the Daughters
of the Confederacy and the Sons OF Con
federate Veterans are enjoined to keep up
the work until the wrong done their
fathers is righted.
1t is a new idea that the men who start
an unjustifiable. unprovoked and unsuc-
cessful war should be paid big bonus by
the vTictors The practice Of the world has
been just the opposite, and the parties
who disturb the peace by war in which
they have been defeated have always been
fined very heavily for it. Germany as
sessed France 5,OO0,OO0,000 francs CS1,-
100000. 600, besides making her give up
Alsace- Lorraine for starting war about
one-seventh as long as the rebellion, and
which cost Germany about one-seventh as
much in blood and treasure as the rebel
lion cost us. The Southerners got oil
very cheaply with the loss of their slaves.

CUBA is only at the beginning of her
Indebtedness for the protection of this
country. There is determined attempt to
saddle upon her new Government about
S4OO,OOO,OOO of bonds issued by the phan-
tom affair known as the Cuban Reyolu-
tionary Government. Fortunately, the
matter was thoroughly probed some years
ago by Senator Foraker, who found that
but S122,4O0 of these bonds had been
legitimately disposed of for money and
merchandise, and the rest represent no
equivalent. Cuba will therefore escape an
enormous swindIe of the character worked
upon the United States at the time Texas
was annexed.

THE European papers and reviews are
Just now engaged in a very interesting
discussion of the reasons for America S
astonishing lead in industrial matters.
The English and German writers discuss
the matter fairly and inteligentIy, and
attribute the excellence OF our workmen
to the abundance and cheapness of the
best quality of food, meat especially, which
the American has on his table every day,
where the European is lucky if he has it
once or twice a week; to the attention
paid TO popular education, and the higher
development of general intelligence; to
the republican spirit and absence of class
distinctions, which opens to every young
man the opportunity to rise to the highest
places in the factory or in the counting
room, according to his merits in his work +:
to our hot, dry atmosphere, which induces
great nervous energy, etc, etc. Some Of
the English and Germans hope that this
very intensity will lead TO our break
down, and they make some fallacious
statements about the American breaking
down years before the English or Ger
man workman, and that the families hsre
have generally not over two children.
The EdiHbHrg ReUiep finds that wages are
astonishingly higher in the United States
than in Great Britain, that, for example,
good average workman in an engineer
ing shop in the United States will get
from $40 to $3.50 day, while In Great
Britain he gets only from S1.50 to 81. 60.
The American gets all the necessaries
OF hfe-except, perhaps, rents, cheaper
than his brother in Great Britain. Food
he certainly does, and shoes, and all kinds
OF clothing, except that made by stylish"
faiiors, whom he does not often patronize.

"NATURAL RIGHTS"

The atrabi!ious St Louis Republic has
it badly. In its wall over the Supreme
Court decision it says:
Eve do not recognize the rights of man
except in one of the States. Consequent
ly we do not admit the existence Of nat
ural rights at all: we only claim that the
men of a favored race are endowed with
inalienable rights. All other men are to
be governed by an unlimited deSpouSm
according to their needs Certain men or
the elect are born with rights not because
they are men, but because they happen TO
be born in a particular locality, one of the
States"
The Republic ought to read the Declara-
ton of Independence again, and more
carefully. The only natural rights"
enumerated there are 'life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness" Voting, hold
ing office, etc, are not, and never were,
natural rights, but conferred privileges,
and the comforting of these privileges has
always been a matter of grave concern.
1t is true that most of the newer States
have had manhood suffrage from the first,
but not so with the older States, several
of which have not unqualified manhood
suffrage even today. Property, race and
even religion were TOT many years quar-
fications for voters in the older States.
No man became a voter simply by resid-
ing in the country, or even by having been
born in it. Long after the Declaration of
Independence South Carolina limited suf-
frage to free white men who acknowl-
edge the being of a God, and future
state of rewards and punishments;" Con
necticut, to such persons as had maturity
of years, quiet and peaceable behavior,
civil conversation, and 40 shillings free
hold, or 40 pounds personal estate" All
the original States had some sort of
property qualification. which they kept
up far into the last century, and Rhode
Island still retains it. At one time Mas
sachusetts and Connecticut would only al
low church members to vote, and most of
the Colonies required that voters should
be of the protestant Christian faith"

THE general comment, of experts is that
English and other European complaints
against our locomotives are wholly due
to a determination not to like them. The
American engine is simpler, more practical,
and more powerful. Where an English
engineer thinks 160 miles is a big run
for his engine the American will drive his
$50. Where the Englishman runs his at 16O
pounds steam pressure, the Americans
standard is $50 pounds. American loco
motives are not only gaining ground in
England, but in Russia, France, Spain,
Egypt, Norway, Sweden and Bavaria.
