A LEAKY BARREL.

There are indications that the con-
gressional pork barrel has sprung
aleak. If it proves so the country will
be we'll off,. The filibuster against
the rivers and harbors bill has sue
ceeded so far that the bill, with it's
proposed large appropriation, is not
recommended for passage, and there
appears to be a good prospect that
there will be a very material pairing
down of the appropriation before any
bill ear pass.
Three important causes have con-
tributed to this. One is party poll
tics. No matter what party is in pow
er. the rivers and harbors bill is al
ways an administration measure. In
the past the Democrats have made
talk, chiefly, no doubt, for campaign
purposes, against the Republican riv-
er and harbor bills, on the ground
that the appropriations provided were
extravagant. This made good cam
paign material in that the charge of
extravaganza was justified. Now that
the tables are turned, it is the Re-
publicans who are calling attention to
the extravaganza of the Democratic
measure, and with equal good reason.
A second cause is the real objection
of a small contingent in congress,
without regard to party, to wasteful
n unnecessary appropriations made
for the single purpose Of keeping good
Tho rarnr6S 0f c0ron 1nro~accy,1~ r-f%1
their constituents. In every congress
there have been men who were not
afraid to speak their minds with ref
erence to such appropriations, and
such men are particularly active just
now.
These causes have been in opera
ton for many years without produc-
Ing definite results. The party in
power has been able to force its
measure through, and there would
have been no change this time from
the usual course had not another ele-
ment been introduced. The wal has
brought about a shortage Of funds,
and the need for economy in expen-
diture has become more manifest
than 1t has ever been before. This
has added such strength to the oppo-
sition which has come from other
causes that there are fair prospects
that for once some spoilsmen will go
hungry.
If this is the result this time it may
be that we will see a new era in the
handling Of these bills, and that there
will be nc return to the mischievous
practices which have cost the coun-
try many millions.

towards furnishing the necessities of
ife--this means ready sale for the
good crop that this state has produc-
ed and at high prices.
Reports indicate that this state has
a very good general crop. In some
sections a large yield is reported, while
others run about the average. Ordinar-
ily a huge crop means low prices, but
his year the big wheat crop is being
disposed Of at the higest value in
many years.
Berthold farmers are especially for
tunate this year., inasmuch as they
have raised the banner crops of the
state, and many of them sold when
the price was at it's highest. The
wheat is of excellent quality and prac-
tlcally all Of it SO far has graded No. 1
