As a local NEWS paper and Ad~ Vertising Medium it has ne competitor. —————— ‘With reasonably good weather that has in it a sufficiency of moisture the spring- wheat crop of the United States promises to be fairly good. It will hardly be as heavy as it was last year, but unless there is much misfortune it will be sufficient for eur own needs with a surplus that can be turned into cash at prices higher than any that have prevailed for a long time. But the pessimist will not see the situation tn that light, and already ts he at work with Bis estimates. Some of the figures evolved are alarming and the conclusions drawn therefrom are more alarming still, but the conservative statistican calculates fa- Vorably so far as this country is immediate- Jy concerned, and supplies a foundation on which may safely be based the prophecy that by this time next year the balance of trade will be decidedly in our favor, and that the gold which was dragged from our vaults by European merchants will be flowing back again in a tolerably steady and gratifyingly voluminous stream. Mr. George O. Jones, of considerable ex- perience in crop and financial foreshadow- ings, holds that the shortage will be quite general. In Europe the average yield for the past seven years was 1,262,000,000 bush- els, while the most liberal estimates for this season do not exceed 1,070,000,000 bushels. In Asia, Australasia and South America the average was 423,000,000 bushels, while in this country and Canada it footed up 520,- 000,000 bushels. The estimates for 1893 are, Fespectively, 440,000,000 and 413,000,000 bushels, 0 the shortage is going in some countries to be really serfous. Cautious experts place the crops of the United States at 39,000,- 000 bushels, the winter wheat being 263,000,000 and the spring wheat 122,000,000 bushels. Of this total Mr. Jones says that 365,000,000 bushels will be required for food and seed, leaving a surplus for export of only 20,000, 0 bushels. Some of the big wheat buyers are quoted as of the opinion that the spring wheat will not reach Mr. Jones’ figures by from 20,000,000 to 30,000.00 bushels, and should their predictions be realized there ‘Would be little to export, but as a matter of fact the outlook is brightening every day, and the chances are favorable to a bigger crop than even the liberal estimators ave figured out. Canada’s deficiency will be not less than 12,000,0 bushels. Summed up, the conditions indicate that the wheat crops for 1808 will fall below their average about 282,000,000 bushels. but as there are “THE EVENING It may be that Dempsey, Beatty and Davidson are innocent of the offense for the alleged commission of which their lib- erties have been curtailed, it is possible that Gallagher is an unmitigated liar and scoundrel, but it is none the less certain that Dempsey and others of his kind were frightfully voluble as to threats, and for : their public and loudsounding display of criminal desire he and his immediate as- sociates are perhaps illegally, yet equi- tably, being punished. The evils of keeping bad company have frequently and properly been dilated upon. This case affords another awful example.

Small wonder that some of the foreign newspapers pre- @ict a famine within the next year! The anticipated distress will hardly reach our shores, though, for we are already ship- ping hay to France, Germany and England —where the fodder crops have failed—and this advantage is likely to be followed by further and more profitable trading in the wheat we shall have to dispose of when home necessities have been provided for. There is big opportunity for the farmer who farms to make money this year. : ———_ eo __—_ For reasons that cannot be other than sentimental the Navy Department has de- “cided that our fron and steel ships of war shall ¢ontinue to be painted white, with masts, smokestacks, bowsprits and yards of a light straw tint. The hues presented give the ships a yachtlike appearance, which, viewed from the decorative stand- point, is admirable, but detracts from the ship's utility. If there was present proba- Bility of war no excuse could be offered for such coloring. but, as conflict with any other power is extremely improbable at this time, no American will object to the vessels appearing at their prettiest. Their mission 4s a combination of the spectacular and the businesslike; they are to represent our na- tional might in foreign waters, but they are none the less valuable in their capacity as samples of what American shipbuilders and inventors can do when they try. When the time comes for hostile movement there will be demand for black paint, for black is Dest defense against search lights and pedo boats. Foreign nations have experi- mented with colors of all sorts and are practically unanimous as to the desirability of black. England's men-of-war are black, with white spars, but it ts quite probable ‘that within a little while the use of white above decks will be entirely forbidden. + 22 Brooklyn knows but few days now that are not bloodstained by the electric trolley. In one way or another—elther through contact with the wire or by impact of the car—men and women and children are sac- Fificed in the interests of greed. Yester- @ay sfternoon a ten-year-old boy—the pride of 2 loving mother’s heart—went to attend Sunday school and while waiting for school to open was standing with other boys on the street. With that rapid- ity which is a criminal feature in surface |Taflroads operated at high rates of speed, @ trolley-car struck, ran over, and killed ‘the youngster. Evidence as to the danger- ous nature of the trolley is continuously Gisplayed in hundreds of newspapers; ob- structive poles, death-laden wires, runaway or carelessly managed cars, are continu- ally purdering. and yet there are men who blight Washington with the cheap- est and nastiest and most dangerous of street-railway motors. ————_++s—___ ‘The appeal to American sentiment tn be- half of the Duke of Veragua ts the more forcible because he is a married man.

This movement for pardon has its origin not in any recently-discovered virtue in the pris- mers, but in the fact that the man on ‘whose testimony the prosecution leaned heavily is beyond question a Har. To the fury this witness—himself in prison for Participation in the crime—stated most pos- itively that Dempsey. Beatty and David- son were the men who prompted him to @isable if not to murder those whose only offense was independence. A few days sthce Patrick Gallagher gave to the public, through official channels, what purported to be a confession, and in that document he Geclared Dempsey, Beatty and Davidson to be blameless. The revelation created a sensation, but before any steps could be taken by the authorities Gallagher vol- untarily retracted his so-called confession, announcing it to be without foundation in fact and subsequently averring that the “confession originated with the attor- meys for the defense. The truth in this matter may not be easily found, and while it is possfble that Dempsey and the organization with which he was so promi- mently connected may have. in this instance suffered injustice at Gallagher's hands there will be no great amount of sympathy -wasted on him or his fellow prisoners, because if they did not conspire to poison the “black sheep” they were less bold of deed than they were of utterance. When Homestead was placed under martial law and for a iong time thereafter desperate men and equally desperate women threat- ened all manner of torture and death for those who should dare accept employment from the Carnegie Company, and there were many attempts to make good the fulminations that were not whispered on lonely street corners. Devilishly ingen- fous forms of murder were gleefully de- Vised and jt is written in the sanguinary ehapter of Homestead’s history that efforts were made to apply some of the inbuman theories. Men unable to pronounce the shibboleth were outrageously assailed, the knife, the sandbag and even the match being employed.
