Never theless it is true that the excess of imports of gold for the present fiscal year is $90,000,000, while the coin- age of our mints is in excess of $50,- 000,000, These give a clear gain to our stock of gold of over $140,000,- 000 in one year, The actual use and payment of gold in ordinary business is phenomenal, and at the same time satisfactory. Even Mr. Bryan has quit ‘the silver business’’ and “gone for a soldier,’’ We hope he may not be killed nor wounded, for we know he will come back a smarter—a wiser man—as war will give him a chance to appreciate changed conditions. Cenvera if bottled up in Santiago Bay, at least has an opportunity to try the efficacy of the much vaunted torpedo boat as an aid in practical warfare. Ifhecan find no use for them now, it is hardly likely there will occur within the next century a time when such outfits will serve a naval commander. Those boats are the most destructive instruments in if a time can be but the methods adopted render them unavailable for destructive purposes. If one of those boats could slip out of the harbor and fire one of her torpedoes at a ship Within fair range, it would simply anpibilate it, There is such constant watch kept, and the little boats are so fragile, they might soon pay the penalty if they attempted an assault on abattleship. Cervera, however, has a chance to make them available, if practicable. If not practicable under what necessities will they ever be of benefit as factors in war. modera warfare found to use them ; Tue German newspapers are of late giving much attention and dis- cussion to the Monroe doctrine. One cannot lay a great deal of stress on what those pspers say. They are in continual dread of the press censor and those who are not wedded to king craft, have to sing the same tune as those who are, for fear of conse- quences, That press is not a free press ia a free land, and their views must of necessity be taken with much salt, There is a vast jealousy of this country in that land. Thousands of Germans who love to be free, have come to the United States, and by their energies have added to the power and wealth of this republic. The personal bravery and industry have given them homes, wealth, plenty and station in a free land, whose freedom they help maintain. They have po favor to ask of anyone, and no hope higher than to transmit their freedom to their children, This situation of the American German is so much higher, better, freer and nobler, than in the old Jand, that envy has made many in the fatherland hiss at the name Americ “DEWEY” Supper and Banquet.

Indications That the Wheat Crop Will Aggregate 650,000- 000 Bushels, All th. Conditions Are Most Pay- orable For This Vast Am Indications are that the wheat crop of 1898 will be the greatest in the li tory of this country, From figures that are being col- lected and compiled by some of the hig Chicago firms, based on the ra: ports of experts in every section of the country, the oncoming wheat crop is estimated to exceed 650,000,- 000 bushels. All the conditions are reported as being of the most favora- ble nature, and while there is a de- will be more than double that of 1897. Kansas looms up as the state this year, an increase of 28 per cent. in the acreage having been re- ported, all the way from 70,000,000 to 100,- crops of Kansas, Nebraska and Okla- homa is estimated bushels, of this 30,000,000 to 40,- 000,000 bushels are credited toOkla homa, and Kansas will have 80,000,- 000 to 90,000,000 bushels. As compared with the planting in Illinois in the fall of 1896, there has been a decrease of 16 per cent. in the acreage, but in spite of this the the apparent decrease in discounted by the amount of wheat that was plowed up in the spring of last year. The 1807 crop i Illinois amounted to little less}than 10,000,000 bushels, whereas it is generally con~ ceded that this year's crop will be nearly, if not fully, treble, or be- wheat looked so five in the Loue Star state as it does now. Tndiana will come to the front with a crop of 45,000,000 bushels. ‘This is nearly 17,000,000 bushels better than last year’s crop of bushels, while the government re- ports show a decrease of 2 per cent, in the acreage planted this year From lowa and Michigan the reports are that the crops will probably be a little better than they were last year, Missouri had a crop last year of 14,000,000 bushels. This year ac- cording to estimates, it will yield be- tween 25,000,000 and 30,000,000 bushels In addition to this, all of | the Southera siates show largely incre: ed acreage, as do also California and every one of the Eastern states. The aggregate increase in the acreage planted this year ia the country at large as compared with that of the fall of 1896 is 5.7 per cent.—Louis- ville Times. REACHED PADUCAH.
