I THE WHEAT CROP. A Plentiful Harvest lu North DakotaFarmers Will Mark ' rt Tulr Grain at once, A dispatch from Grand Forks, N. V., says: Tne wheat crop just harvested in this state ex ceeds 20.000,000 bushels, ' Commissioner of Agriculture Helgesen's official estimate places the wheat acreage at 3, 000,000 acres, witn an average yield of seventeen bushels to the acre, making the aggregate yield CI .000,000 bushels and this estimate will fall short of the actual crop. Wheat threshed in Grand Forks county yielded thirty-eight bushels to the acre. In Nelson county two and o&e- half acres yielded 235 bushels of oats. Duluth, Minn., Sept. 1. Wheat in store here now is only 228.000 bushels, but the new wheat has begun to pour in at the rate 01 nlty to seventy-nve cars a day, and advices from the country show that shipments by farmers from now will be large. Talks with farmers who are here indicate that few of the Dakota farmers will try to hold their wheat, but that nearly all will put it on the market at once. A tew of the larger farmers will sell part and hold what they can in elevators The Dakota ele vators will not store what for farmers on account of the new Dakota law and they .will thus be compelled to sell. A. J. Sawyer, tne bead ot the North Dakota Elevator Com pany and the Duluth Elevator Company, says that his com pany would handle about 16, 000,000 bushels here and that he estimated the total receipts of Duluth for the crop year at 50,000,000 bushels. Last week's Duluth receipts aggregated I'M,- 000 bushels and this week's will probably amount to as much more. Wholesale Dismissals. On August 1st about eighty employes of the New York l.uk torn House werejligcharged by direction of Secretary of the Treasury Foster, and by like or der, the salaries of a number of other clerks were substantially reduced. The discharges include one Deputy Collector, one Chief Clerk of one of the divisions and many clerks, messengers and laborers. The removals and re ductions in salaries will make a saving to the government of about $80,000 a year. The extravagance of the Bil lion Dollar Congress has made necessary this wholesale dis missal ot government employes, and yet. if the public interests can be properly served by the force remaining, it is clearly proved that there have been too many places on the government pay roll that economical admin istration has no place in the con sideration of the powers that be. except as a necessity bred by a shortness in tne supply 01 cash. It is often said that it costs !the people more to have a given work performed than private citizens or wen organised cor porations would pay for the same service. This is unques tionably true, for the pressure for employment upon govern ment officials is so stromr that places are made for the benefit of political and personal friends in order to get rid of their im portunities. There is, of course, mourning among the beheaded and their mends, wno natually think that "some other fellows1' ought to have suffered the con sequences of too liberal appro priations by the Congress. The so-called "People's Party" of Ohio has put a full ticket in the field, beaded by John Seitz for Uovernor. formerly a Ureen- backer. The platform adopted favors woman1! suffrage, gov ernment ownership of railroads and saloons, liberal pensions, Jovernment loans directly to in ividuals; favors the free coin- aire of silver: opposes alien ownership of lands and demands that congress devise meant of obtaining all lands already own ed by foreign syndicates; it also demands that all lands held by railroads and other corporations in excess of what ia actually needed be reclaimed by the gov ernment and held for actual set tlers only 1 and demands a gra duated tax on incomes, free school books, compulsory edu cation, and the election of United States senators by vote of the people.

Every indication of good fel lowship, every incident, that draws closer together England and America, the great English speaking nations, ought to be made the most or. English is the language of the future, be cause already more civilized people use it than any other, al so because those who speak it .ue the coming race. Troublous times are in store for the mon archies in Europe. England is a kingdom' in little more than the name, ber government be ing nearly as free ' as our own. In the crash that is sure to come among monarchies and empires, it will be well for the free Eng lish speaking peopled to stand together. They can rule the world. Signrlcant signs show that the teelmg of brotherhood be tween Great Britain and the United States is increasing. It will grow still more rapidly when Ireland's wrongs are re dressed. Pleasant it is to read of the special services held in Westminster, Abbey in memory of our dead poet, Lowell. Arch deacon arrar himself, conduct ed the beautiful and impressive service, and said of Lowell: "He was one of the sacred unions binding England and America more closely together. He was loved and his memory will be revered by the two mightiest nations of the earth." Pleasant it is to read, too, that a special committee of Eng lish ladies has taken up the work of furthering the interests of our Columbian fair. At the head of the committee is no less a person than the queen's own daughter, Princess Christian, which shows the feeling of the British royal family toward A- merica at least. We can recall with satisfaction, too, that this interest among the women of England in our World's fair is due to the efforts of the accom plished and patriotic president 4 ttttt A mawsinn ttAmin 'at tri- mission for the exposition, Mrs. Potter Palmer. A real prodigal, if the report Eublisnedof him be true, made is appearance at the Barge Office lu New York a few days ago, endeavoring to make his way to Egypt to take posses sion of a fortune, the third which he has inherited. At the age of twenty-five years he re ceived a million dollars from his father's estate, which he expended in riotous living on tne Mediterranean, and a few years later, by the death of his mother, he received another million, which wept in the same way. At tne age 01 iony, when he is workinz for ten dol lars a week in New York, he is apprised that by the death of a relative it Alexandria, Egypt, he has again fallen neir to a fortune, and he now says that be intends to settle down to serious life. An experienced caterer says that where tne guests at a gath ering are well acquainted they eat at least 20 per cent, more than they otherwise would. Who Should "Bow" First. A great deal of nonsense has been talked about the question of whose place it is to bow first when a lady . and gentleman meet upon the street or in a pub lic assembly, . It is very absurd to sav that a man should always wait until a lady; has recognized him. In this, as in most other matters common sense and mutual con. venience are the only guides, Many ladies are near sighted; many others find great difficulty in, . remembering faces. Are they, because of these draw backs, to be always debarred of the pleasure of a chance meet ing with some agreeable man? lhe important tlunir, of course. is that a man should not pre sume; , that, for instance, he should not speak to a lady to whom he has boen merely in troduced, unless she shows some sign of willingness to continue the acquaintance. Not to lift his hat to her with deference would be a rudeness, but he should not stop to speak unless she makes the first movement in that direction. When two people meet who are really acquainted, it is not the man who should necessarily bow first, or the lady it is whichever of them is the first to perceive and recognize the other. If a lady is walking and meets a man whom she knows well, and who desires to speak with her, he will, of course, not co umit the awkwardness of keeping her standing on the street, but if he has time will beg permission to join her for a few moments and walk beside her long enough for a brief chat. . me lady, on her part, will make it easy .for him to leave her when they have exchanged the few pleasant sentences that belong to such a meeting. Canadian Queen. The Carlsbad Trademark Decis ion. The spectacle ot a city of the Austrian Empire sueing a citi zen of the United States is a un ique one,' but above th!s, the question of trade-mark right is of wide interest. The City of Carlsbad is the only municipal corporation in the world having the right under patent to engage in manufacturing and selling goods, and the privilege has been theirs for several hundred years. They have manufactur ed and sold a variety of articles, but the most important has been developed during the past fifty years to wit, the Carlsbad mineral waters and Carlsbad sprudel salts. The operation of the wells and the sale of the waters and salts has made the name of Carlsbad famous, and naturally the temptation to out siders to appropriate it was great so many people are now malt ing Carlsbad water and Carls bad sprudel salts some with the addition of the world "arti ficial" that it is very evident that the belief is prevalent that the name of a city is not a legi timate one to be used as a trade mark. But the case of the City of Carlsbad, operating an a mer chant in its own behalf, and under letters patent, is quite unique and not comparable with anything else m the mercantile world. The decision of Judge Blod- gett, in favor of the plainttfs, will no doubt be a surprise to mauy. He is very clear upon the point that no one but the plaintiffs have the right to use the word uansoad. and that even the addition of the word "artificial" will not serve the de fendant "to escape the charge of wrongfully availing himself of complaint's name and repu tation." He grants an injunc tion against w. T. Thackeray &Co, of Chicago, enjoining them from selling or offering for sale any preparation of salt. of which the word Crlsbad forms a part of the name. It is safe to predict that this sweep ing decision will cause the changing of some hundreds of label in this country. uu Paint and Drug Reporter. The successful termination of the struggle in Chili in favor of the Congressional party is another illustration of the fact that success or defeat has a great deal to do with determin ing, at times, whether a people shall be regarded by the world as rebels or patriots. Those who succeeded in overthrow ing the Balmaceda Govern ment and causing that ruler to flee from his country, will now be regarded as patriots. Had they failed they would have been deemed rebels. KcHciicd from Her Lover. Ia Campbell county lives an old gentleman who has a beauti ful daughter, sixteen years of age. While she was visiting relatives at Lawyers Road, a young drummer fell in love with her, and won her heart. He had seen her three limaa. when they planned to run away from the old mother and father, who doted on her. The plan was for her to visit a relative near Danville, and go from there to Greensboro, wham she would meet her lover. She went to her relative's about two weeks ago-, and Monday sho said she was going back home She bought a ticket to Lynch burg as a 4)lind. On the train was a Mr. R., who was to meet her. They went as far as Chat ham, where thay staid all night and started back Tuesday night for Greensboro. Ia the mean time, a cousin of the girl heard of it, and as he had promised her mother he take good care of her, while she was at bis mother's, he iumned on the train at North Danville and then a rare and exciting seme occurred. The girl's cousin, Mr. J. S., swore she should go back, and the drum mer's friend swore 6he shouldn't and the girl herself vowing that sho wouldn't. Tr ey had it up and down, while the cars were rolling on towards Greensboro, where the lover was waiting impatiently for their arrival. The girl appealed to the con ductor, Capt. E. T. Morris, to put ber cousin off the tram, so that he would not interfere with her plans. The conductor mado her a feeling and handsome lit tle speech. Amongotherthings, he told her he could not erant her request, and advised her against the step she was about to take. air. j. s. (her cousin) was determined and before the train leached Brown Summit, the girl's escort had disappeared There was nothing left for the girl to do but to give up. So, she consented to get off the train with her cousin at Brown Sum mit, and after waiting a short nme, iney took tne tram com ing back and the next morning she was with her parents. Danville Times. His Kaine wax William. "What is your name, my lit tle man?" "Willie when I'm good an' Willim when I git licked." "How old are you?" "Ask maw." "Where do you live?" "To home." "You look like a bright boy?" "Tell ye, mister, I'm Vay out 'o sight, an don't you for get it." "Don't you think that ho bright a boy as you are ought to be more mannerly?" "Say, looky here, I'm in it, I am, an' I ain't goin' to let no old duffer pump me 011 pri ate matters bye, bye." And the precious little child put his hands in his pockets and wafted himself down tho street, whistling "Annie Roou ey." The kind old gentleman hap pened to be his uncle, just re turning from a long residence abroad, and when Willie got home that night his name was William. Detroit Free Press. The South' Prosperty. Financially the Southern States ard irlowinir with health and promise and rejoicing in the consciousness of their es sential grjatness. No furor has been created by sensational ad vertising, the world has been astonished by the latest statis tics of wonderful growth as sliown In the national census for 1800. The sum of all is the fact that the assessed value of property in nine states is esti mated by the census officials to have grown from $.1,000,000,000 in 1880 to $0,000,000,000 in isito. The reports of the census everywhere tells of enlarged and enlarging areas of cultiva tion, of new mines of coal and iron, excellent in quality and in exhaustible in quantity, of new manufactories in every depart ment of human industry. All the basis of wealth and sound and satisfactory finance are here; and in my opinion South ern enterprises are animated, sustained and fortified by as sincere and as high a regard for commercial credit and personal honor, and by as profound a conviction of the necessity of fair dealing as are to be found anuy where The Forum. The Illinois Central has plac ed orders for twenty-two loco motives, In anticipation of in creased World's fair traffic.
