talked about freely this morning and,
strange to say, there was some differ

merits since the publicatiori of Kels

thought: that Senator McPherson can
not afford to carry the thing into the

- -clearly of the.o'pinioa that ha." has n6
' need of further . action of any . sort.
The quarrel arose , out . of State polis
' The undercurrent of opposition to the
Civil Servjce statute is fast becoming
ADnarently the overcurrent. But
larce number of the more thoughtful
and progressive Democrats, while not
entirely approving ;the action: of .the

Cut in visw of tho diz
delegration ;at differs
en; times, the limes dispatch is not
inaccurate in its central point. There
may be one member of the House
Democrats from the State-who would
not be prepared to support Judg
Bennett's proposition -for the repeal
of the Pendleton act, but 'I doubt if
there is a solitary . exception. . Mark
my language--prepared tor support.
Circumstances alter cases. Our Rep
resentatives are men of . fine intelli-
gence and they are men Qf solid Des
mocracy after . the old style. How
far they will refuse to stand by the
President in a crisis, with . their own
ideas; of Democratic principle and
policy 'on cne side of - the lalaricQ,
and the safety; of the party iu the
present emergency on the other I
say ho w far thev will refuse to sup
port President Cleveland iu such a
crisis remains to be een. I think
the'y will perceive what their duty is.
i know they will have sincere con
victions of dutv. whatever course
may be taken. The Times' editorial
was received at too late ari" , hour to
enable me to find out how it was res
ceived by the three Congressmen, (in-
eluding Senator, x Ransom) who are
now in the city. : Some of them went

The Wheat Surplus.
"Broadstreet.' , y
The extended inquiry as to availa
ble stocks of wheat , in the United
States and .Canada, .published : in
Bradstreet's last week, renders poss
sible " a clearer . calculation of the
probable surplus carried over on Ju
ly, 1, 1885. wbichin turn becomes . of
exceptional ,value in estimatihg "the
probable supply for, the year 1885-86.
It is' generally, admitted that the
wheat crop which is now beginning
to be harvested is.very short.1 'Ac
cording to the 'most;. favorable view
which the Washington Agricultural
Bureau is able to, take bf tbe, situas
jion, the total harvest s.'of the spring
and winter wheat is riot likely ' to
exceed 370,COO,000;and; jt may. go as
low as 350,000,000 bushels. In the
crop year 1881-82 (ending June 30)
the harvest was short, the aggregate
yield; amounting to : but 380,000,000
bushels. By . the; end of the succeed "
ing year, by. - Juried 30,1 1883 stocks
were very Ibw indeed. The total
visible supply, according to the New
York produce Exchange, report, on
July ,1, . 1885, was 19400,000 bushels; !
This included the. territory jeast of the
Roeky Mountains and rOritariojand

for the years named a total of 950$,

quantity; exported, " amounts to
1,355, 210,000 bushels, which point ' to
a total of il5 800000 bushels of wheat
carried oyer in theUhited States, and:
Canada on July. 1,-418S5 ;- Oi this,
amount say "'20,000,000 bushels will
have to be regarded as the tamine
reserve, which indicates- that there
are 95,000,000 bushels ofi available- old

supply in sight, irom ; wnicn it is to
inferred that there are some.tning use
4S.000.000 bushels in first bandSy of
which about 28,000 will be available.
With a crop :of (1584-85) oi 60,uu' ;
000 bushels and 100,000,000 available?
surplus, the total supply for 1885.-86
would amount to 460,000,000 bushels,'
