The Wheat Crop.

The past week has been very favor
able to the growing wheat crop in the
Ohio and Mississippi valleys. In In
diana the wheat is coming out as well
as was expected but the prospects are
not so good as last year. In Missouri,
Nebraska and Iowa the condition OF
the wheat is good; in Kansas and the
Southwest the weather conditions
have been more favorable, but conSid-
cradle damage has already been done
by the drought. Over a wide area of
the wheat region there is continued
reference to the fact that while recent
rains have afforded moisture to the
surface soil, the subsoil is still un-
usually dry, suggesting that the plant
will be to that extent especially Sus-
ceptible to damage by future dry
weather should it prevail.

CAREER OF CECIL RHODES
Not so Years Old at Death, But Rated
at S75,OOO,00O in Wealth.

Cecil Rhodes was born in Hertford-
shire, England, July I, 1853, and never
married. His father was Rev. Francis
William Rhodes, an English church
clergyman. He was educated at Ok
ford University for the church, was
graduated in 1873, and received the
degree of doctor of civil law in 1899.
He went to South Africa on account
of i'll health in 1874; worked on cot
ton plantations; became a miner at
the Kimberly diamond fields; got con-
troll of the De Beers diamond mines:
formed the British South Africa COM
pany in 1899 and obtained a royal
charter under which the company gov
erned 251, 900 square miles of terri
tory, subsequently known as Rhodesia.
He planned the railway from the Cape
of Good Hope to Cairo.
His wealth is estimated at SIS, OOO,-
600, acquired in twenty-nine years.
He was owner of diamond mines, vast
tracts of land, ranches, cattle, and
corporate enterprises.
He was the ruling spirit in the ex-
tension of British influence in South
Africa, and leader of the party aim
ing at federation of the South
African states.
Cecil Rhodes was perhaps the one
man of his time whose enormous en-
ergy. invincible will, magnificent
schemes and splendid achievements
justified the appellation Colossus -
He was great reaSoner, great con-
structor. He was dreamer of great
dreams and doer of great deeds to
make his dreams realities.

Postage and Freight Rates.

81 believe, said Judge Grosscup, in
issuing the temporary order forbidding
six leading Western railways TO cut
rates or grant rebates, "that railway
rates ought to be as stable as postage
rates, SO that every shipper would
know, as certainly as the sender of a
letter, how much the shipment will
cost, and the fact that no one could
send it for less
Judge Grosscup here expressed an
ideal WHICH every intelligent man Of
experience must approve unless his
judgment is warped by hope of per-
sonal gain. From failure to realize
this ideal of equality and stability
there have arisen probably nine-tenths
of the public agitation and harassing
legislation against railways. Trans

sity in the development of civilization

cial necessity. Those who need it
and they are practically the whole
manufacturing and agricultural popu-
lation-have no option to take or
leave 1t. Directly or indirectly they
must have it. Aud since their me-
cessity is equal in nature they proper
ly and inStinctivelv demand that this
equality be recognized by those whom
they have chartered to perform for
them this service. Failing to obtain
this justice from the railways, they
have gone about to compel it. That
their methods have often been mis-
taken does not alter the justice Of
their demand Inter Ocean.

POLITICAL CRIMINALS.

There is good deal Of sarcasm, un.
conscious perhaps, in the reports that
come from various parts of the coun.
try of surprise at the sentences that
Nicely, Rathbone and Reeves received.
People are astonished that there were
not at least degrees of guilt and that
somebody was not entirely let off. Had
these men pilfered from the Pennsyl-
vania railroad or the United States
Steel Company, as they did from the
postal service, there would have been
no surprise that they should be fined
and imprisoned. We have in our own
state gentleman of previously good
character serving a sentence for pill
tering from a bank. And similar cases
are occurring all the time, But with
out cOnfeSSing it, we really seem to
have got into an attitude of mind and
conscience that when a crime is po-
Htlcal and done by spokesman, and is
loaded on the public, the end is to be
nothing If the criminal is hald for
long while and much money is spent
arguing his case and appealing it and
pettifOgging back and forth, and the
case is ended finally by a nolle pros
equi, no one is surprised. We shrug
our shoulders in good-natured way
and have something to say about good
fellows, and so forth and so on. And

after three and half years of recon-

May 20, is to turn the island over,
without money and without price, to

The best record for new railroad
construction in one year in this coun-
try was made in 1888, when 100
miles of track were laid. A compila-
ton of official figures just made by

miles of new railroad are already
under contract or actually under con-
struction, while there are in addition
3, 700 miles on which it is probable
work will commence this spring.

his name should stand high on the
roll of the men who rendered diStin-
