Sam Jonfs said in one of his recent sermons in Plattsburg, Mo inai among tne things that were most hurting -America today was the ''everlasting wanting to get $100 for $1, and 11,000 for $2 by immoral and nnnatural means." The greed for wealth, not merely ' to earn money enough to be independent and to live comfortably and t well, but to get rich, not only rich but very rich is one of the ruling passions in this country today, arid is the cause of untold unhappiness, crime and ruin, of names arid lives. To make money seems to be now the standard of a man's ability, and to some extent the measure of his worth. In the past quarter of a century the character of our people seems to have been chang ed. It began in the North during the years of the war .when ; the govern ment treasury was pouring out mil lions daily for war purposes, ; and government printing presses were printing money, when government contractors became in a little while men of princely wealth,- when specu lations of all kind were" started, new railroads and countless other enter, prises entered upon, by men who took advantage of favoring legisla tion which their money secured and of the abundance of money where with to operate. Thousands became wealthy,and strove to become wealth ier, and, set the example by which o'thers tried to follow,' until . every body was scrambling for .money, some honestly, many dishonestly. The time was when a man who had $100,000 was regarded as'rich; now a fortune of ' that size would1 be considered as unworthy of notice in our great cities. They would wipe it up in a day in Wall street unless the owner of it was careful of his movements. We talk about mil' lions now as they did in the past generation about thousands, and there are thousands of people going to the devil every year trying to get up into the millions. The rush for the mighty dollar. It is a great and fearful rush in which a few reach the goal and thousands go down on the way. : . In 1801 the population of Ireland was -5, 216, 000. Now "it is 4,918,000. The population of the United Kin g dom in 1801 was 15,902,000, of which Ireland had nearly one-third, now it is 36,325,000, . of which Ire land r has less than - one-seventh. In the meantime the, population ot England and Wales has increased from 9,061,000 to 27,499,000, and of Scotland from 1,626,000 to 3,908,000. These figures show with striking force thte effects of misgovernment in Ireland. TimrKs rr wiLL be close. ' ! John S. ' Wise, the young man whom Billy Mahone put up as his candidate for . the governorship of Virginia, took a trip to New York re cently and there succeeded in having himself interviewed by a newspaper man, the gist of the interview being that, the Republicans of Virginia would not pass the hat around for contributions this year, but would thankfully, receive all that were sent in; that they expected to win, as Mr, Cleveland's appointments in that State had caused much dissatisfac tion among the Democrats, but that the contest would be "close." This is a very, important admission, and differs somewhat from the ante-election style prevalent among Republi can leaders,who generally claim that they are going to carry everything with a grand- swoop. To admit a "close" contest is equivalent, . as the machine no w runs in Virginia, to ad mitting defeat in advance, for the Democrats have the election machin ery now, in, their hands, and this gives them great .advantage though not disposed to use it dishonestly. Nor is there any reason to believe that Mahone. and Wise can manipu late and control the almost solid . ne gro vote as they have heretofore done, and the probabilities - are they cannot. Wise's kitchen speech which he has made: several futile attempts to explain rto . his cole ed friends, would make him a cold candidate for them; and 'one on whom they could not enthuse much. v There may be some dissatisfaction in Democratic ranks on thei appointments to Federal offices , in that State, but hardly enough to directly affect a State electionj. . ' A rumor Jiaving been put in circu lation that Gen. J. B. Gordon, of Georgia,' had lost about $300,000 in matching his, wits against Gould in Wall street, he hastens to remark that he never had any business deal ings with Mr. Gould and consequent ly never 3- contributed . the aforesaid sum to that gentleman's cash drawer. 111 ANXOILVCE THE COJUIECEMEM OF THEIR.

"It was about 11 o'clock and everybody had just turned. In one of the berths was a man and his wife. She was one o' those nervous, cautious creatures She was all the time afraid she had lost something. or the cars would run off the track, or they wouldn't get up early enough next morning to get off at their sta tion. She Kept up ner nagging arter she , got in bed, and though we couldn't hear what she said he grunt ed miserably every few seconds and we knew by that she was stin at it. Finally she dozed off to sleep and all was quiet in her Derm. n.very ooay was glad. But in less than ten min utes she started up, and everybody in the car heard him groan as she noked him in the ribs and shouted: 4 William, I git up ! I know you ve left she doors open and forgot, to close the kitchen windows ' It must have been the force of habijj. with her' Figures on Wlt.eaU A correspondent of the Chicago Tribune who has given special atten tion to our wheat statistics, finds that we exported. 132,000,000 bushels of wheat in the year ending July 1, an increase of about 21,000,000 bushels over the year 1883-4: but that as the price had fallen we received less for our exports by $3,600,000. The home consumption for food and seed was about 305,000,000 bushels. This de ducted 437,000,000 ; bushels from a total supply of v 552.000,000 Dusheis, leaving 115,000,900 bushels on hand July 1. The agricultural oureau es timates this year's crop at 363,000,000 bushels; which added to the surplus on hand gives 478,000,000 bushels for seed, food and export. Unless there fnrA the foreien demand should be in creased which, the conaition oi. European harvests does not promise U8-we shall have a surplus of about 41,000,000 bushels on hand this time next yer, and need expect no better price for what w,e have?, to sell. But if we could reduce the production of wheat 120 per;cefit."bythe substitution of other crops such as sorghum, flax and upland rice we would be entire ly independerit of the foreign market, and would secure; steady and good prices to our farmers.'
