160,000,000 bushels. Another authority
states that the grain crops may aver
age slightly less than in other years,
but at the present prices the season
will be highly prosperous one.
Minnesota reports that farmers
have forgotten all about the late
spring. and that the whett prospects
are extremely promising.

PopuIism's Victory.

There is much in our political his
tory Of the past double decade to JUS.
tiiy Mr.. John Temple Graves in the
following declaration;
"In our opinion the Populists have
fought their battle and practically
won II. Not by direct victory, but
by the peaceful line Of educating the
Democracy to their views"
In 1896 the Populist party accepted
the nominee Of the Democratic party
for president, and four years later the
Democratic party accepted as its can
didats the Populist nominee for pres
ident.
1t is related with much verisimili-
tnde that a traveller in Missue many
years ago came upon two snakes in a
struggle. Each had the tail Of the
other In Its mouth, and after sope
hours Of powerful endeayor each sue.
ceeded in swallowing the other.
Something very like that happened to
the Democratic and Populist parties
in 1896 and 1900.

Is Poor Policy.

The Salina Journal is right when 1t
says that the railroads sometimes use
bad policy in dealing with public
sentiment. For instances: "Kansas,
Nebraska and Missouri all have two
cent fare laws, yet II you buy an in
terstate ticket running from a point
in Kansas to a point in Nebraska or
Missouri, three cents per mile is
charged. The result is that nine
tenths Of the people who travel from
one state to another will buy ticket
to the last station in the one state,
pay the conductor on the train for the
distance between that station and the
first one in the other state, and then
pay two cents a mile from that point
to the one OF destination. The rail-
roads will secure mere pittance
more than II they sold the through
ticket for two cents mile. The
public will become irritated at the
railroads for their harassing OF the
who make interstate
trips.n
