They are often six inches in thickness, two feet in width and twelve fect in length. The curbing is laid to stay, but the pavements are too often laid to be renewed.

Ir THE ‘“‘reform” legislature of 1891 oxceeded thoe republican legislature of 1889 in appropriations to the amount of a half million dollars, how much would the same crowd, if clected this fall, beat thelr recora of two years ago? This is & question in mathematics which the people can best solve by voting against those legislators in every instance. Tue petticont paper of these parts is shocked over the excerable English which the editor of T BeE ladles out to his patrons. This is indeed lument- able, but tho editor of THr Beg has never ladled out such execrable rubbish and stupid fakes a5 are lndled out overy day by tho petticont organ to a for- beuring if not eredulous community. THE efforts of democratic correspond- ents to predict a vepublican defeat in Towa this year ave wost ridiculous. There hus not been a democratie vietory in Iowa on . presidential year for over thirty-five years. Aati-prohibition car- ried the state twice and will carry it at any time, but it is not a question this year and republicans, who espouse it and incidentally vote the demoeratic ticket to do so, will vote as republicans this year. THE speculative fever thata few years aga caused the building of 8,000 miles s of railroad in the United States in a 3 #ingle year hus abaled to such a degree ‘that last year's railroad bpuilding was pr not more than one-fourth gs great. ‘While so great a falling off reduces an important field of employment for labor, it is still an encouraging sign of the times. 1t proves that business is got- ting down to & solid besis, and that wildeat schemes for the sudden acquisi- tion of wealth are no longer popular. Railroads are now built wheu they are NENCE THOSE STEERS. The 1ast joint debate between Crouns and Van Wyeck was held at Fremont Saturday. Like all' the other joint di cussions hotween these candidutes for the governorship it was more of a hip- podrome than a debate of political is- sues. Three-fourths of General Van Wyck’s time was taken up in explaining how he got his wealth, why he voted for the creation of nationai banks and why he wants them abolished niw and many equally glaring contrasts betwesn the doctrines ke is now advocating and his own ncts as a congressman and sen- ator. A nu climax of the debate was Van Wyck’s attempt to hold tio r lican party pub- for the decline in the price of cattie. “*The cattle busi- rimed Van Wyck, inap sion, “has grown steadily worse for sis years and lust year was tho worst of the vesponsiblo ness,” ox six.” And turning to the assembled multitude he shouted: *“Ain’t that so? Would it not have been better for us to have turned our steers out to grass and to have hauled our corn to market?” Now wo candidiy admit that wo do not know as much about farming as Horace Greoley did, and for the saks of har- mony wo will concede that those steers ought to have boeu sold off the g stead of feeding them on 40-ce Wo also realize that the republican party ought to have bulled the price of steers in the market and Harrison should have his proclamation commanding all cattle buyers to keep up high prices under pennlty of being court martinled! [n defanlt of such action it might possibly have been good 38 in- it cora. issued policy for the republican party to keep down the price of corn, so that General Van Wyck would have been saved from mortgaging one of his farms in tr to fatten those steers. But how about hogs? The price of hogs has been steadily going up. Does not that fact offset the gievance that General Van Wyek harbors against the rapubl party on account of his steers? A mojority of our farmers can- not afford the luxury of raising ste but the poot st among them has a pig or two. The hog market has been booming ever since corn went up, Ain’t that so? It would seem to us that a forehanded farmer like General Van Wyck who scents calumity from afar might have foreseen that the iniquitious republican financial policy and the bounty on sugar wero sure to depreess the price of steer and make cattlo raising an ex- pensive luxury. - Crounse seems to have had the tip from Washington. He sold his high priced steers four years ago and put his money into hog and hominy. That ex- plains why Crounse exhibits such faith in Nebraska farming. Those steers ought to have been turned out to grass six years ago, geneval. TIE WHEAT Tho pher.omenal moverent of wheat PROBLEM. from the west to the markets of the east is a fraitful theme of discussion among speculators and dealers in this cercal, and the best authorities are entirely unabie to account for it. Tie i below the average and both fore domestic demand has thus far been light, and yot the shipments surpass thoso of any previous year at this The New York Conunercial Bulletin discusses the subject exhaustively in all its as- pects and fin cknowlodges that it cannov solvo riddle. Speaking of weel before that journal says: *In the two weelks together the aggregate has been nearly 18,000,000 bushels, but it has never been more than 16,000,000 bushels 1 any two consecutive weeks before. During the ten weeks ending on October 8 the receipts of wheat at the principal western ports were about 77,000,000 bushels. Last yoar, during the same weelks, with an immense crop to be dis- posed of and a good European market to supply, the receipts were only 67,000, 000 bushels, in 1890 about 26,000,000 bushels, in 1580 about 54,C00,000 bushels and 1n 1585 less than 84,000,000 bushels, “It is eomething quite beyond ordi- nary comprehension,” suys the journal quoted above, *‘that wheat should con tinue to come forward 1n exceptionally large quantities but from a compara- tively small crop, to meet the lowest prices ever known, Nor can it be said that an urgent foreign demand helped to stimulate the movement. The export demand has boen light, and the exports in September much smaller than o year ago. The supposition that o domestic demand was tho moving force is inad- missible, for the stock 1n visible supply increased during the month of Septem- ber about. 10,000,000 bushels, and rose to the unusual aggregate of 47,900,000 Octo- ber 1, exceeding last yoar's visiblo supply by 20,000,000 bushels, To all ap- pearances thero was nothing to draw wheat forward into the stores of com- mercial cities in such quantities,” The problem does not appear to be an ousy one to solve, but two theories that may have some value are advanced 1 son. the the shipments of last week and t} Omaha denlers who are usually well informed concerning crop movements. One isthat the farmers of the west woro caught lust year by heoding the advice of the alliance to hold their wheat. They foilowed this advice to such an oxtont that they finally sold a great deal of wheat on a falling market, veulizing less than they might have done. Again tho genoral disposition of farmers is to hold their wheat when the market is rising and to sell it when there is n downward tendency, and last year's experieuce may have increased their inclination to get rid of their stock this year before prices should fali lower than they are at present. Another theory is that the remarkably dry and pleasunt weather that hus prevailed in the west this full has led the farmors to get their wheat off theiv hands us soon s it was rendy in order to escape the risk always involved by wet weather, The western farmer as a rule has no place to store his crops. He threshes his wheat from the stack, puts it in sacks and gets it to market when the weather is favorable, Last year the threshing was delayed 1n many loeali- ties by rains, as it usually is. Perhaps this theory is the best that can be offered in explanation of the remarkable wheat movemeut at present. What will be the effect upon the mars ket?

The charge that the legislation of 1873, under which the coinage of the silver dollay was discontinued, was pussed hastily and without duo consid- eration has been so often shown to be utterty groundless that it is surprising unyone having respeet for popular in- telligence will continue to make it. The history of the matter conclusively shows that the discontinuince of the coinage of thesilver doilar was recommended by the secretary of the treasury several years before the act of 1873 was passad, and the matter was considered in two cong 5. Several reports were made on the subject, and if any member of congress at thut period was not fam with it it was because of inattention to what was going on. General Van Wyck esked in u recent speech why the coinage of the silver dol vas stopped in 1573 and who wanted it stopped. It is harvdly pos- sible that the pooulist candidate for governoy not know that it had been practically stoppad for years, for the reason thut the commercial price of silver was so high that no ono wanted it coined into dollars, At the time of the passage of the act of 1873 tho silver in a aollur was worth 103 cents, and the producers of silver consequently took it into the market instead of to tho mint. They were entively willing then to ro- gard and treat it asa commodity, but now when the same amount of silver is worth in the mariet less than 70 cents they demand that it shall be given an- other character. There was virtually 00 opposition to the legislation of 1873, 80 that it is essentiully covrect to say that everybody watted it. The populist advocacy of the fres and unlimited coinage of silver is remark- able in view of the fact that the classes who make up the lacge majority of that party would be the greatest sufferers from the adoption of that policy. A da based currency works grester hardship to the producer and the wage earner than to anybody else. This s the uni- versal and uniform experience, and must in the nature of things continue to be. Furthermore, why should the far- does THE OMAHA DAILY BE T Wheat is so tow that it hasdly seems | mor and the wigs earnor desire the W1 government to pagcthe silver producer 30 conts more thano his commodity i3 worth when it can show no such consid- oration to them? ' 'What peculiar claim has the producer b Bilver to such favor from the governmept? Why should moroe be paid for silyer than its market price, and the whole people taxed, for such wouid be the eftect, for the benefit of o few owners of silver mines? With freo colnnge any ‘wian could take 871} grains of pure sii¥er to the mint and de- mand a dollar. Tn other words, we offer to buy silver of the world and we offer to pay a dollar for what is sold in the markets of the world for considerably less—at presentabout 67 cents. The 1n evitable result of such a policy would be to reduce the standard value of our dol- lars down to 67 cents, and evary practi cal man knows what effect this would have. Gold would be driven out of cir- culution and the whole business of the country would have to be readjusted to the singlo silver standard. In this oper- ation and in all the consequences of the change it would mnot be capital that would suffer, because capital always can and always will protect itself in such circumstances. The loss and hardships of the chango would fall upon the producers and lubo ars of the country, who are not in a po- sition to discount the future and pro- vide safeguards against the evils ot a debased and depreciating currency. Tur Harrison administration has a very strong claim upon the farmers of the country for what it has done in be- half of their intercsts, in this respect contrasting very strongly with the last democratic administration. The single fact of securing the removal of the pro- hibition against the admission of our pork into the markets of Germany, France, and other countries of Iurope, by which our meat exports have been Larg increased and their value enhanced, ought to commend the pres- ent administration to the support of every farmer in the country who raises hogs for the muarket. The work of the Agricultural department in eradicating contagious pleuro-pneumonia, in estab- lishing regulations for the treatment of cattle on board ship by which cruelty and avoiduble losses are prevented, and in obtaining and publishing valuable information for the use of the practical farmer, should command the h . appreciation of every man engaged in farming. Not the least of the valuable things done by this admimstration is the introduction of Indian corn as human food in the leading countries of Ilurope, an undertaking that was dis- couraged by Cleveland’s commissioner gencral at the Paris exposition. There are most encouraging reports of the growth of the Fuyropean demand for corn, and there is every renson to ex- pect that within a few yoars the export of this cereal wiil constitute one of the most extensive and' profitable parts of our foreign commerce. In a number of other waye the IHuarrison administra- tion has benefited the agricultural intorests of the country and showna concern for it that was wholly absent from the preceding administration. Tt 15 not fair to judge Nebraska’s presont prospevity by the number of mortgages filed, because in many cases millions of dollars have been paid on these mortgages which do not appear on the records, and the bulk of the loans represents purchase money. The condition of agricultural Nebraska will compare favorably with that of any other state in the union.

Tais William of Wyckham was an extra ordinary man. His career was one of many examples of sturdy plebeian blood having tho iron in it to carry its possessor past all bounds of caste or class to the lasting fame of personal achievement. Ho was born i 1324 in the village of Wyckham, near Fare- ham. His tather's namo was John, and be- caus of his stavure he was nicknamed “Long John.” He was as tall and hugea man as tue late *Long John" Wentworth of Chi- cago. The gigantic figure of nis son Wili- iam looms throush the mystery of the time grandly. The lad was educated at the then voyal cily of Winchester at tho expense of Sir John Scures; in 1345 entered the house- hold of Bishop Edyngton, vrelate of Win- chester: tuo latter turued him over to iing Gdaward L1, and by that king he was at cmployed in architectural art. It was Wyckbam who built the great tower or “Iound Tabie" of Windsor, which was to te the eeting place of the newly foundea order of the Garter. William of Wy am's Work, In 1364 he was made keoper of tho privy seal, then in 1367 bishop of Winchester, and the Same vear he was appointed chancellor of Eneland. He was for asecond time ap- ponted chancellor, from 1330 to 1301, and the plowboy of Wycisham had become virtual ruler of England. Whatever his political or strictly ecciesiastical ability and power, his famo will chieflv rest upon s architectural skili and his_cducatioual foundations, Ho transformed Winchestor catbedral and was national in genius, feeling and purpose. He is regarded s the father ot the perpsndicu- lar style of architecture, and his own chantry In 1he cathedral bere, built by himself, is one of tbe most matcblossly beautiful croations 1u stone to bo found in ull Britain.

There is no doubt of Wyckham's piety. He was determined to improve the intellec- tuut and social condition of the clergy. His college was dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Solemn processibnal eutrance was made into the structure at 9o'ciock o the morning ot March 6, 1363, a few months less than 500 years ago. The nawme of every ofticer, fetlow @nd scholar who took part v that historic ceremouy, carefully registerea in a vellum book, 15 SUIl preserved.

Ludor RRous Hudibras founded it 502 B.C. So there is antiquity here outsido of the flinty walls of tbe quaint old school. King Itufus was buried here and here St. Swithin lies. Cerdic was crowned in the beatten temple which precoded the cathe- dral, and the bones of Canute, Wina, Alwin, Stigan and Kmma, who trod tho heated plowshares unscatbed, aro gathered in mortuary chests over Lhe side screens of tho cathedral choir. But tho real Winchester, dear to the hearts of Englishmen, is ot the Brivon or Koman Winchester, but the eity which is veprescuted by the square Norman tower and the ridgo of the .ighty nave ris fngz above broad wasses of folinge and scaled by the graceful tower aud turrets of Wyck- haw college o the south. “The shiny reaches of the ftchon stream show hero and tuere entrancingly.
