WARM ON THE TRAIL.

From the very beginning of the po-
lice investigation in New York which
was precipitated by the killing of Ros-
enthaI by Lieutenant Becker it has
been evident that there were men
higher up who were the moving spirits
in the saturnalia of graft which has
been shown to have prevailed in GER
tain circles of the police force. With
painstaking care District Attorney
Whitman has followed the thread,
pushing past the patrolmen to the
captains, past these to the inspectors,
and now he is confident that he has
followed the trail right into police
headquarters, where he hopes to n
cover and convict the spider which
spun the web and who took thousands
annually as his share of the gigantic
graft game.
That the trail is getting warm. and
terror is gripping the hearts Of those
who feel that disclosure is near is
shown by the killing of another unfor-
tunate, as recorded in dispatches to
The Forum last evening. Undoubtedly
this latest murder will have the effect
of closing mouths, but it is to be hop
ed that the fearful game is about at
an end and that the district attorney
has enough facts and enough fearless
witnesses to open the whole dread nest
of crime to the light of publicity.
The latest and most valuable ac-
..,,S,SNiz, On 4tz f1V1Z - uvffFta@1aa gH
Jacob Rouss, q lawyer, partner of the
late Louis Grant, their firm handling
for the policemen nearly every scandal
case in the department for a dozen
years past. Rouss is said to know
more about crooked work in the police
department than any other lawyer, or
ten lawyers. He took a part in the
transmission of the money to Sipp, an
important witness, for the purpose of
inducing the latter to remain outside
the state.
The cases against ex-Inspectors
Sweeney, Hussey, Murtha and Thomp-
son are now on trial on charges of re-
ceiving graft money from lawbreakers.
The district attorney is exceedingly
hopeful OF convictions for each of the
four accused officers. He also has the
name of the man just above them.
who has a high place at police head
quarters, and is working up evidence
against him. If this alleged kingpin
of the graft system can be reached and
convicted, the triumph Of the law will
be complete so far as that line of in
~yest'gation is concerned.
Every city in the country is interest
ed in the investigation, for such scan
dals are no new thing. The unusual
feature Of the New York case is that
there is fine promise of exposing the
system from bottom to top. and land
ing in the penitentiary a number of the
offenders.

supply In Europe and liberal quantities
of wheat a1oat on the oeean there is
no evidence of overbuying on the part
of merchants. They are still making
fresh commitments and markets
abroad have been advancing persist
entity. In the last few months the
price difference between Liverpool and
widened from about 13 cents to ~
cents a bushel-al discount which
makes this wheat the cheapest in the
world.
The grain trade of the United States
has been considerably puzzled at the
enormous demands of Europe, but IT
seems to be caused by the inferior
quality Of native crops in the import
ing countries n the lack OF dry
sound wheat in Russia, which has
thrown the burden Of this demand on
North America and Argentina. While
the political uneasiness growing out
of the war in the Balkans may have
tended to further broaden the buying
there Is no evidence that the approach
of peace has brought any liquidation
Of merchants holdings. EuTope's
needs have carried the market through
a period of money strain and now that
credit is easier the situation confront
ing the holders of these large stocks
Is easier and the conditions under
which further business may be done
less exacting.
The situation, favorable as 1t is to
domestic wheat prices, especially as
new crop prospects in the winter
wheat belt could hardly be better in
their general promise of a bountiful
harvest, is based upon commercial con-
ditions that are apt to huctuate in the
volume of buying from day to day.
European merchants are not likely to
follow up the advances. as it is flu
ture requirements, not immediate
wants, that are bothering them, so
that pauses are to be expected from
time to time, but the indications at
the moment are that declines will be
taken advantage of to buy, which is a.
check on the depressing effect Of the
generous domestic crop outlook.
With the exception of moderate i'm
pairment by drought in Kansas and
claims of insect damage in Oklahoma
the winter wheat condition has devel-
oped f~avorably this month. In the
northwest the weather in the northern
half has been backward and field work
has been delayed. AS his is the area
that is behind in blowing, it is posi-
BILE that there will be some curtailment
Of acreage and seed put in without
proper soil preparation.
This is a risky proceeding that de-
mands normal conditions all through
the season to pull the crop through
without serious impairment. 1t is,
however, made necessary by unfayor-
able weather. Elsewhere the spring
wheat crop has gone into the ground
under good conditions. r.

THE MIpDLEMAN AGAIN.

A 1ong-named organization called
the National conference on market
ing and farming credits" which has
just been meeting at Chicago, has
been studying the everlasting prob
lem of the middleman. Said Edward
Kone, commissioner of agriculture of
Texas, The railroads aren't getting
the money, the farmer isn't. It's the
middleman. We're after him."
President Radford Of the Texas
Farmers union wants to know why
the northern u pays 81 a
bushel for potatoes, while his farmers
get but 80 cents.
Yet somehow the farmer prefers the
middleman. A great many dairymen
living near large cities say they would
like to deliver direct to the consum-
err. But they usually find they would
have to advertise for customers, would
have to put up product in fancy bot
ties. have no way Of getting recep-
tacles back. etc. Yet it seems like
national inef1ciency to let apples ROT
on the ground in the country, while
in the cities inferior fruit sells for 6
cents each.
Politicians and ministers and wo-
mems organizations have tried te
break prices by selling direct to the
consumer. But they get free adver.
Using, they pay nothing for clerk hir,
or rent, they have no taxes and M
bad debts. Goods can be sold cheaI
as long as the distributor is willine
to work for nothing.
No doubt many farmers could de,
velop profitable direct relations will

afraid to spend a little money On ad.

But once a few customers were Sc.
