COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE,

We have read with interest the re-
port of the Board of the Agricultural
Depart ment making accusations
against Mr.. Geo. w. Koiner, and Mr..
Koiner's reply. 1t looks to us as if
what the Hon. John W. Churchman
has said hits the bulls eye, and that
the whole trouble arises from an effort
to make a place for a certain Mr..
Chesterman. Mr. Koiner Is an elected
officer, duly nominated and elected by
the people, but this board has under
taken to decide that he at one time
forfeited his office, and that they, good
willing souls, have appointed him and
be is their creation. Mr.. Koiner's
worst offense is that be has had his son
put into some government place and
has had daughter as his stenographer.
Seeing how Harriman's stenographer
gave him away recently, it is natural
that Mr.. KOiner would want one in
whom be had perfect confidence. That
Chesterman could not be elected to
that position if be had the temerity to
become candidate, needs no denial
from us.
The Richmond Journal says: ''Mr.
Koiner's administration of his office
has been a brilliant success. and rem
dered great service to the agricultural
interests of Virginia.

Mr.. Wickham is said to be very sol
toward the press on account of bis de-
feat. He attributes it largely to the
newspapers. The late Mr.. Cassatt,
President of the Pennsylvania railroad,
once told the newspapers to go to hi,
but bis friends sorrowfully stated later
On that they had driven him to an
untimely grave. and maybe to the
place to which he invited them, We
may add. The press is thankful in
having such testimonials to it's power.

AGENT OF HAGENeEcK.HALLAcE
CIRCUS TALKS ABOUT WHERE
TENTS WILL BE PITCHED.

The location Of the SHOW lot" next
Saturday when the Hagenbeck.Wal.
lace Circus exhibits here Is a matter
OF general interest and there has been
so many rllmors that n representative
OF the West FirgiRlan called on one Of
the agents who Is In the city to-day
with a view Of getting some reliable
statement as to the matter.
He says the show has an option on
two lots-the baseball park and the
Nnzllm lot. sometimes known ms
Whites meadow. The baseball parl,
is little more convenient to the
railroad AMI is much the handiest for
the people. so Il will be given the
preference providing the show finds
It can get on that lot. 1t Is possible,
he says, for the horse tents. cook tents.
ETC., 10 be placed on adjacent lots.
The show did this at #. Wayne. Ind,
and showed on the baseball park. In
that city The only other lots are miles
out and the down town location Is
thought to be largely responsible for
the big business Hagenbeck and Wal.

A Prosperous Prospect.

Washington Star.
Secretary Wilson talks In his usual
vein OF optimism when he treasures
the country on the score Of the crop
report. The stories about failure
weather losses and destruction by the
green bug. he declares. have all been
grossly exaggerated for the purpose
OF influencing the markets. He an.
alyzes the situation in the light OF his
official knowledge Of the facts, and
sees no reason 10 apprehend bad
year. There has been some delay In
blowing and planting. and here and
there the cold weather has DELAYED
and possibly Injured the winter wheat.
The green bug has damaged the wheat
In places. but, the Secretary says, the
work OF this pest has been in every
instance local, and there Is no sign Of
. widespread activity consing a seri.
GUS injury to the crop.
With this reinsurance as TO tho
crops and with the pig.iron market
mounting, two reliable indications are
afforded as 10 the seasons outlook.
The plg.irOn price Is one Of the surest
signs Of the times. The demand for
this commodity reflects the activity
Of the rolling mills aud boundaries
present and prospective. The condi.
iiOn OF the mills in turn Indicates the
confidence with which railroads. build.
ers and other users OF steel and iron
are planning new works and placing
orders. 1t Is true tina. the steel cor.
poration's total OF untitled orders is
less at this time than at the CORE.
spending period year ago. and in one
sense this fact is Indicative Of fall.
