 The OUTLOOK.
 The It seems to be one the
 Bryan probabilities of the, next
 Boom. Presidential csmpaignthat William Jennings Bryan will be the candidate of the Democratic party. Missouri has already endorsed him as the coming man at her Democratic | Convention and other states are follow ing in her lead. MT Bryan has been making tour about the world and supposedly is having some lessons in State craft. The story is told of him that while in the Philippines he tried to ride donkey and was thrown with. out ceremony over the donkey's head. As he picked himself up he is reported to have murmured as he rubbed his shins and brushed the dirt from off his shoulders, "this is the third time I've been thrown by a donkey, !" supposedly referring to his two defeats in running for the Presidency. Whether MT Bryan will feel like making another try for the place of first man of the nation is little doubtful but 1t is cer- tain that many of his plans for our national life are being tried in these days. He was an advocate of Federal regulation of freight rates before Roosevelt took it up and he is a firm advocate of Federal license for corpo- rations 50 that they may be under government regulation. In his travels he has developed into quite preacher and has given some very good religious talks on Sundays and at other times Whether he is the coming man is a question time will help to decide.
 The The outlook for a large
 Wheat wheat crop seems to be
 Crop. very good according to gov ernment reports. Secretary Wilson estimates that the agricultural output for the year will foot up about six and g. half billions of dollars and the wheat crop will be larger than any year except in 1901. There are about 47} million acres under cultivation in Winter and Spring wheat and the es- timated yield is 7l5 million bushels. The largest yield here recorded is, as already stated, that of 1891 when the wheat crop was 74s million bushels. When the figures run up into the mill mions it is rather difficult for the av. craze mind to comprehend them. But if we suppose that those 713 million of bushels were put into barrels that | were one foot across and the barrels | were set side by side they would reach | a hundred and twenty-five thousand | miles and more, that is five times l around the globe. The3 present esti- mate for the oat crop is that it will. be about fifty million bushels short of last year. Corn has not yet reached the stage of development where it is possible to give much of an estimate of the probable yield of the crop. There seems to be enough food grow ing to insure us of flood to eat," if not ''raiment to wear" A large food supply means prosperity, for if the farmers are prosperous there is al- ways some trade going on for the ben eft of the merchants and manutact- urers.
 
 The The exposure of the meat 1
 Bssf packers in their filthy ways Scandal. of canning meat which the people have to eat and in their doctor ing up of decayed ham and beef so that 1t can be sold has aroused great | deal of feeling on the other side of the ocean. So great is the feeling that our meat export :trade will suffer very serious injury. One correspond
