MERE MIIDTHROWING.

1t is not necessary to renew the dis
cussion of the investment Of the State
School Fund until the Republicans pro-
testing against its management by sue
cessive Democratic administrations
bring forward some new facts which
justify discussion.
The School Fund is safely invested.
1t has the State of Missouri as security.
It has been SO managed that the rev.
enues for the maintenance Of the COM
mon schools of Missouri have steadily
increased. The amount available for
that purpose this year is about 500, 900
greater than for the preceding year.
The Republican cutlery on this dead
Issue is being raised with the desperate
hope Of inflicting some little injury on
the Democratic party in Missouri by the
mere repetition of charges of misman-
agement which have no basis in fact.
1t Is done on the old vilifying theory
that il one keeps on throwing mud,
some Of the mud is bound to stick. The
School Fund issue was fully fought out
before the people last November. The
people rendered verdict in favor of
Missouri Democracy.
The chances are that no one in the
State is now paying serious attention to
the revival Of the State School Fund
issue. There Is nothing to warrant this
renewed attention. The same old argu-
ments are being gone over again. The
situation at present is more amusing
than otherwise. Not until one remem-
bers that this is the silly season is 1t
possible to account for the Republican
endeayor to gain political advantage
from a dead and discarded issue.

WHEAT FOR THE WORLD.

crops nave way Of balancing the
world over. There never was Il time
when agriculture conditions were per-
feet in every part OF the earth. Even
In one continent, conditions are hardly
ever for two years the same This fact
Is being brought prominently forward at
the present time by the unequal condi-
lions in the United States, some States
having bountiful yields and others
parchfng for want of rain.
fortunately, there are few sections
where the wheat crop is small. In the
West the large yields have been cmpha-
sized by the failure of the corn crop.
The New York Journal of Commerce
has summary of the statistics of the
Worries wheat crop which bear vital
interest to the prices that will be OBJ
tanned for this staple cereal.
Arsentine's crop for 1901 was 243, 2OO.-
600 bushels. Already the larger part of
the surplus, something like 1920 900
bushels. has been exported, so that little
may be expected from there until the
next crop. India will do very little to
offset the deficiencies of England,
France and Germany. Though Russian
winter wheat was success, the spring
wheat Is almost total failure. Spain
and Italy have good harvests. Roumania
will be able to export about $4,000, 900
bushels, according to estimates.
In France, newspaper estimates place
the yield at 2s0,0O0,OO0 bushels, about
100000 less than the Government es-
Inmates. In 1899 the yield was 366. OOO,-
600 bushels, SO it will be seen that the
importations to France will materially
increase this year.
Official estimates place the wheat crop
OF the United States at 675,OOO,OOO bush
els. Trade estimates are 35,OOO,OOO
bushels higher. About 65,OO0OOO bush.
els remain over from last year, SO that
| on an estimate of 100000 900 bushels for
this years crop about 765,OOO,OOO bush,
els may be ready for consumption.
About 415,OO0,00O are required for
| food and seed in the United States. This
leaves 350,0OO.OOO bushels for export
Estimating that Germany must import
1 100000 bushels, France between 90.
100000 and 100000 bushels and
England requiring little more thar
usual, there is every probability that 9
good demand will exist for our wheat
especially as Argentine, Russia and In
dia will do less exporting than usual.
Yet this demand will hardly be alb
normal. Three hundred and fifty mil

decade shows that in 1892 225, 665 ,OOt

of the country. An effort has been made to
keep entirely within the law rather than to
inaugurate any sweeping reform which
might be subject to criticism and result IN
some countermanding order.
The order gives instructions for the care
