Our farmers who have not sold their
wheat are lucky. The price has advanced
sharply In all grain centres, closing in
Chicago yesterday at soc. for May aud
76c. for January. Corn and oats also are
higher, May corn closing at 3S3 and
May oats 25i. The receipts are materially
falling of in the West. The world's
shipments are 600, 900 bushels less than
week ago. Argentine estimates are
smaller and Liverpool firm. 1t looks like
we may have dollar wheat again.-The
Free Lance.
Yes, it looks like "dollar wheat"
but not for our farmers. Every
now and then, about this season of
the year, the wheat market climbs
UP to the dollar mark; but alas.
1T is nearly altogether delusion and
a snare--so far as the average farmer
Is concerned. 1t is only the farmer
of means who is enabled to hold on
to his crop, the large majority of our
agriculturists having sometime since
disposed of theirs in order to lay in
those things that are necessary for
the coming winter and to pay fer
tilIzer aud other debts. The man
that deals in Futures" and pockets
the present, scarcely knowing grain
OF wheat from one of rye, is the man
most largely benefited by high price
OF farm cereals from January to
June.

NO STATE LOSES.
A Reapportionment Bill Passes

WASHINGTON, January S.-By a
vote of l65 to 102, the House TO-DAY
accepted the reapportionment plan
proposed by the Burleigh bill, which
increases the membership of the
House from 35S to $50. The result
was largely brought about by the in
huence of certain Senators from sew.
eral of the larger Northern States.
Under the bill, as passed today, 10
State loses a representative, and the
following make gains: Illinois, New
York, and Texas, 3 each; Minnesota,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania, , each;

The Richmond Me,cs says:

at has been accepted that the friends
OF Attorney General Montague would
make strong fight for delegates here on
the grounds that Mr.. Montague lived
here. Mr.. Montague was appointed
United States District Attorney under
Cleveland's last administration as a
resident of Danville. He was nominated
and elected Attorney General also as
representative of the Fifth District but,
so far as his candidacy for the governor
ship is concerned he has not declared his
residence as either from Danville, Rich
nond or the Tidewater count y, which
claims him as 'favorite son.
"ThiS declaration would of course
have some effect on the campaign, as
geographical location is usually consid.
cred in the State conventions"
And tits not likely that the astute
Attorney General will announce his
hailing place. His friends are trying
to make general roundup in the
First District by claiming it as his
birthplace, in the Fifth District
because he once lived there and in
Richmond because he cow lives there
AS an office holder. The people of
the First can hardly take hold of
him as First District man without
knocking out DR.. G.. w. LeCato, a
true son of the First, who is a can

SECRETARY RooT asserts that un-
Iess Congress speedily enacts some
army legislation we will have to
abandon the Philippines, and thereby
be disgraced. He says the municipal
officers will become powerless if the
present garrisons are Withdrawn, and
the probability is that friendly Fill
plnos will be slaughtered. We can
readily believe this, but wherefore
the necessity in the first place? The
ADMINISTRATORS protestations are
strangely of variance from time to
time. We were melted to believe
that the war in the Philippines was
over, by former statements of Mr..
Mckinley and Mr.. Root, but this
later assertion of the Secretary.
coupled with the still later reports
that the Fil;pinos are bringing the
war mp to the gates of Cavite, within
eight of Manila, makes us dubious
of the claims of pacification.

CONGRESS and the President are
having quite tilt over the Cuban
postal steals. The President refuses
to grant the request of the Senate to
lay before it the report from the
Rathbone examination. We verify
believe that this scandal far sur
passes the Credit Mobelier scandals
which had great weight in Presi-
dental election some years ago, and
why it did not cut a larger figure in
the election last November we are at
loss to understand. It's a sad COM
mentary upon Republican institu-
tlons- when it is accepted as 0. X.
that scandals shall die in the breasts
of the party at fault or be whitewashed
by investigating committees-such as
the embalmed beef scandal was.
