Much as he is criticised, he is one of the Nation's most influential and useful public men. During the eleven months of the fiscal "fear 1800 the alue of the excess of exports over imports was J105.237.S05; the excess for the same period of 1000 was $Ki6,K01,oOS, and for 1001 ;0.119,051. And yet some of lis find fault. The story comes from Columbus, O., that the McLean crowd Is very anxious to have Tom Johnson a candidate before the Democratic stato convention that he may be given a dreadful drubbing. Mayor Johnson will not give therrTthe opportunity. If anyone has discovered how a person may live on 50 cents a week it will be well enough to have the secret made public, but its general adoption would be disastrous to the world's industries whose prosperity depends upon a liberal consumption of their products. Besides, a generation of human beings reared at a cost of 50 cents each per week cannot be contemplated with satisfaction. The statement in a Washington dispatch that the postmasters of Indianapolis and Louisville solicited the purchase of stamps to bring the incomes of those offices up to $500.000 a year, is false so far as Postmaster McGinnis is concerned. So far from that, he deprecated the efforts of a newspaper to Incite the purchase of stamps. The present revenue of the office from the sale of etamps Indicates a revenue of 1500,000 the current year. Illinois had a very long session of the Legislature, yet the Governor signed an important bill which the Legislature did not pass. The revised game law leaves email and woodcock to be hunted at any season of the year, and the two vital sections of the Chicago lake front bill were stricken out after passage, but the Governor approved the emasculated measure. This means that lonr sessions promote rather than prevent bad and defective legislation. The Memphis Appeal says that Mr. McKinley Is justly one of the most popular Presidents the country ever had. and that his third-term declaration made him more popular than ever before. It tells him that If he wishes to go out of office the most popular and most respected of Presidents he must devise some scheme to check the evils of trusts. The Arpeal. however, makes no mention of any form of procedure. That is an entirely different question. Many prominent Republican newspapers have commented en, the action of the Republican mayor of Philadelphia in giving away a street-railway franchise for which Mr. Wanamaker offered 2.500,0"0, and all condemn the Republican official in vigorous terms. Thus far not a Republican paper, except the Quay organ, has said a word in defense of the act. With his rejected offer of $2.500.000 for a Philadelphia franchise In his hand. Mr. Wanamaker is a new power in Pennsylvania politics. Walter Wellrnan tells the readers of the Chicago Record-Herald that Senator Aldrlch. of Rhode Island, called on the President a few days ago and Intimated to him that reciprocity treaties would receive little favor in the Senate and that the Sugar Trust and the tobacco interest would interfere with a liberal tariff policy toward Cuba. Is the public to understand that men like Senator Aldrlch have conferences Ith the President and then go and tell Mr. Wellrnan and others about them, or is it simply another case of mind-reading, or, more correctly, guessing? The fact that u parent in this State has brought a suit against u railroad company to obtain damages for the killing of his son, who was hanging to a car In a railroad yard, lead? to the Inference that home parents believe that about everybody is responsible for the care of their children but themselves; they turn them into the ftreet, and if they receive Injury while Healing rides or meet with any accident while trespatir.g the people owning the carriages from which they fall cr the property from which they receive Injury are held responsible and must pay damages. The reports of the New York money market show that the banks have been compelled to contract their loan because CX the lots of nearly two-thirds of the re

serve required by law, and the Rankers' Magazine devotes a long article to an argument to show that it would be far better for the banks to be authorized to issue Li'.Is upon their credit cr general assets, redeemable In coin. It is fair to assume that the New York banks have reduced the excess in the lawful reserve from 121.C'.m.'juO to J0uj,U'jM during the past three weeks because they have responded to the demand for funds for speculation in stocks. If there were no national banking law requiring banks in reserve cities to hold 25 per cent, of their deposits in their vaults, is it not quite possible that speculative interests would have b en loaned much more money than they have, thus stimulating dangerous speculation? If the demand of many bankers had been yielded to by Congress, permitting banks to issue notes uron tneir general assets, with no condition relative to a reserve except that they redeem their notes in gold. Is It not I ossible that the bunks would respond to the entreaties of stock gamblers for funds? The loss of bank reserves during the speculative demand for money seems a timely and complete answer to the plea of the Bankers' Magazine for freer use of tank credits.

COHN' TIIE EQUAL OF WHEAT. The New York Tribune a few days ago told Its readers that a heavy wheat crop i3 by no means restricted in its Influence to the farmers and those immediately connected with agriculture, since upon it depends to a large extent the activity in other industries. If the Tribune had added that a good corn crop is as essential to the welfare of the country as a good wheat crop it would have stated the broader truth. A considerable portion of the winter wheat belt had no crop worth speaking of last year, but that section had a magnificent corn crop, which in a large measure took the place of the wheat it did not have. It is not tne wheat crop alone which la of such vital importance as the Tribune declares, but the corn and wheat crops, supplemented by oats. In 1S10 the wheat crop in Indiana and neighboring States was not a full one, and that of last year was of little account, but two full corn crops put the farmers generally in a better condition than they have been for years. If the Tribune would take into consideration the products poured into the country's markets to feed the people, even the people of New York city, it would find that the stock, meat, butter, lard, poultry, etc., added to the value of corn shipped as corn, far exceeds the value of wheat. Those who will make inquiry will find that tne village banks in counties which have not had much of a wheat crop for two years have added more to their deposits than in any two preceding years because the prices of corn and hogs, cattle, horses and poultry, grown upon corn, have been remunerative. Because wheat bread is most eaten and wheat is one of the larger items of export, reaching in value $132,505,503 in thV last ten months, or over 22 per cent, of the international trade balance in our favor, th-2 East naturally regards it as the main thing, but those who consider more broadly, and especially the transportation companies, regard a full com crop quite as Important as a full wheat crop. Upon both of them the future prosperity of the country depends more than upon anything else. Without them there could be no prosperity. Present values in railroad stocks depend more upon good corn and wheat crops than upon the combinations in Wall street. It is the good crop prospect that gives strength to the railroad stock market this season. Certainly short crops would not only set values in railroad shares tumbling down, but trade in all the staples which the agricultural country is purchasing because it has money would be paralyzed. A WOII TO THE DISCONSOLATES. Yesterday was the anniversary of the battle of Bunker Hill, or Boston's Fourth of July. That is, it is generally believed that a battle was fought at Breed's, or Bunker Hill, in the present limits of Boston, June 17, 1775, despite the fact that some person has written a magazine article or a book designed to prove that there never was a battle of Bunker Hill. If one of our contemporaries that beholds the overthrow of the Republic could be led to believe the fctory of the annihilation of that famous battle, it would not find it necessary to distract its readers with an editorial declaring that the battle of Bunker Hill was fought in vain and that all the battles and sacrifices to build up a Republic have been more than vain. One in his right mind is sorry that any fairly intelligent person should go into print with the opinion that the Republic is no more, as It must be a most uncomfortable leeling. Fortunately, fewer people share this sentiment than shared the opinion of the same paper in 1SS2, lSt3 and 104, when it mourned the overthrow of the Republic and the enthroning of Dictator Abraham Lincoln. That paper has since made the discovery that Abraham Lincoln was one of the world's greatest and best men. Thirty or forty years hence, when some other able editor will be lamenting the eleath of liberty and the end of the Republic, he may applaud Emperor McKinley as a champion of human liberty and progress in the same way that his predecessor raised to the highest place in the world's progress the man once denounced as Dictator Lincoln. We beg our contemporary to cheer up, or, at least, not to take Itself seriously; nobody else docs. It Is a general season of courage and hopefulness, and consequently of cheerfulness and buoyancy, with a prospect of abundant wheat and corn crops. Cheer up! Try to believe that the battle of Bunker Hill was not fought in vain. Mr. S. P. Sheerin. of the New Telephone Company, recently delivered an address in Buffalo on the work of the Independent Telephone Association of Indiana. He alluded to the conflict between the Independent and the Central Union as a "most desiderate fight." Mr. Sheerin'n statement appears to be borne out by the reported condition of the Centra! Union. Up to 16 the company had been paying 5 per cent, dividends on a capitalization of $.nX).m0. Since that year the company has not paid a dividend, but it has mortgaged Its property for St.(O,C00 and has a large floating indebtedness which has so embarrassed its operations that President Sabin has called upon the stockholders for $5,ou0,000 Jn cash to place the property on a paying basis. This damage has been done by the competition which the Independent company has forced irpon It. This company claims to have 52.45) telephones in Indiana, while the Central Union Is given but 22.000. Therm can be no douht that this conflict has given IncLlar.v tlv-mat, extensiv telephone system la the country, -Lut IV Is evident that It has

been done at the expense of one corporation and probably without profit to the new competitor. In preparing to insist on an application of the Sunday law that will close drug stores, stop street cars, prevent the sale of newspapers, the delivery of milk, etc., the Terre Haute saloon keepers are following the customary course with men of their calling when the law i3 first enforced azainst them. The history of such proceedings Is that In a week or so the necessary traffic goes on as before, and if the authorities have the proper stiffness of srine the saloons are dosed on Sundays, as originally designed. The Terre Haute brethren will save themselves trouble by complying with the law at once. They ought to realize that even in that city, which has been "wide open" so long, the public does not regard their business as being, on the same footing with that of milkmen or prescription clerks. Something new In divorce complications is the suit brought by wife No. 1, of a Milwaukee man, against wife No. 2 for alimony, the second wife having, when she married the man, pledged property of her own to pay the amount. Now she does not want to pay, perhaps because she has discovered that another woman's husband is a poor Investment. The Pope Is said to be engaged in writing a long poem. The Pope is old enough to know better.

THIS CITY'S SINGERS WON. Took First und Third Prizes at Indiana-Ohio Snengerf est. The Socialist Saengerbund and the South Side Maennerchor returned to the city yesterday from Peru, where the Indiana and Ohio saengerfest was held. The Socialist singers brought back with them the first prize, a gold medal, and the South Side men proudly bore a silver medal, the third prize. The second prize was taken by the Fort Wayne Concordia; the fourth by the South Bend Concordia and the fifth by the Alexandria Concordia. The judges were Professors Ernestlnoff and Barus, of this city, and Gehring, of Teru. The singing contest was held Sunday afternoon in a big tent pitched on the bank of the Wabash, the river famed in song not in fugue or chorale, but in Paul Dresser's best brand of Terre Haute melody. The hoat was intense, especially under the canvas, but the German-American singers took off their coats, mopped their faces and went at their music as work that must be done. Professor Guntermann directed both the Socialists and the South Side singers from this city. He wore on his coat lapel the gold medal won by the Socialist singers at Wabash, two years ago, and the silver medal won by the South Side society in the contest in this city last year.
