Some OF the democrats are saying
that the drought and the consequent
crop shortage will help their party.
They are predicting that they will
carry in the next election, some states
in the west which have usually been
Republican in the past. There is Il
strong probability that these are false
prophets. The wheat crop OF 1901 is
by far the largest even known. In
come sections Of the corn belt drought
has been broken, and the indications
are that the break in all this region is
close at hand. 1t is possible that the
reduction in the corn yield may not
yet be more than 200,000,000 or $780,
100000 below the original estimate OF
a 1000, 900, 900 crop. This, of course,
would be big drop, but it would not
be so bad as was feared. On the Paci-
fic and the Atlantic seaboard there
has been comparatively little damage
from heat or anything else, Anyhow
there won't be any chance for the ca
lamity shrieker. The democracy can
profit nothing from the blow Provi-
dence dealt the corn growers in hall
a dozen Western states this year.

Judge Brents OF Walla Walla holds
that the Sunday law is unconstitu-
tional, ina5much that it discriminates
against certain kinds of business,
which is in no sense different from
another kind which is given the priv
ilege OF keeping open. According to
this decision any business house may
keep open on Sunday except a saloon.
The attempt to enforce the Sunday
law, generally speaking, has not met
with any great success. There is no
widespread disposition to do business
on Sunday, but everywhere the day is
becoming one of recreation. The
strict keeping Of Sunday as a day OF
religious worship, as it was formerly
kept no longer finds earnest favor in
any part of the country. 70 try to
stem the tide that has set in against
the old way OF keeping the day, by ap-
pealing to the law would seem to be
a hopeless task. Even the leading
divines who uote this tendency to
make it day OF recreation are not
agreed that it is an evidence OF the
decline OF the religious sentiment.
Some OF them look upon it as a nat
ural shifting, out of which more
rational existence will come.

other shifting population. Ia
the present day, most Of the
lands that are now abandoned
would not have been settled.
They would remain in. tim bei ;
and now, by the memorable
power of economic forces, they
are returning into forests. The

Farmers are Luying up ad

Demand For Horses,

England is finding difficulty
ii obtaining horses suitable ful
mounted infantry in South
Africa. Her agents are ransack
ing the horse. breeding districts
of Europe, but the supply is no,
equal TO the demand" says the
New York Sun
Our stock raisers as a whole
may learn a useful lesson from
the condition of the horse mar
Ket in recent years and the
inability of England TO get all
the better grade animals needed
for South Africa. Many of our
farmers came TO the conclusion
some time ago that with the in.
PRODUCTION Of electricity. modern
machinery and automobiles, the
period of profitable horse raising
was at an end. The fact is,
however, as the statistics for
the five years ending in 1900
show. that the prices for really
good horses in coach, saddle and
draft classes have been slowly
rising, while the prices for
second and third grade animals
in all classes have not held their
own. The same report comes
from Canada, where it is SAID to
be difficult to get together a
large NUN Der of first class ami
mails for export because the
country has been d rained of its
best material. Farmers in
America who are raising only
first. rate horses for sale are not
complaining that the industry
has become Improbable"
