DURING the twenty-four hours

were two hundred and eighty-six
deaths reported in New York city.
The metropolis of the Atlantic
seaboard has not lost the proud
habit of occasionally arising and
asserting her supremacy over
Chicago.
THE Mends of Private lams
have brought aa action for aggra
vated assault against the militia
officers for hanging him up by the
thumbs and causing his head to
be shaved. If the young man ex
pects sympathy on the latter count
he is doomed to disappointment.
The country has heartily approved
of ever feature of the punishment
except the hanging.
THERE is no surplus. It has
' -disappeared. But before our dern-
-ocratic friends make a disturbance
. abcufe it they ought to take a look
.at the national debt statement.
"They will find , for instance , that
the interest bearing debt of the
United States has been reduced
since the inauguration of Presi
dent Harrison in the sum of over
75,000,000 and that the annual
interest charge , which , when he
-was inaugurated , amounted to
: $34,578,459.80 , was , on June 30 ,
1892 , only $22,893,881.20 , a de
crease of 811,684,578.60 , or about
one-third. The republican party
goes before the country with entire
confidence that such a record willie
\ie approved , Journal.
HISTORY records no sadder epi
sode than the turning down of Pa

Borrows been able to control the
movement he spent so many years

THE EUROPEAN HARVEST.
IT will be welcome news to the
farmers of this country that the
outlook for a good European mar
ket for American wheat is improv
ing as the foreign crop returns
come in. A prominent London
grain dealer expresses the opinion
that the wheat crop in England
and on the continent of Europe
will fall below that of last year ,
with the possible exception of Aus
tria and Russia. In France the
harvest is poorer than it has been
for some ? years , and in Italy along
the Mediterranean it is not much
better. In India the crop is
below that of last year , while Aus
tralia is said to have no more than
an average } 'ield. In England and
on the continent the stocks of
wheat on hand are not large.
Considering that this country
was a great gainer by the shortage
in the European crop last year , it
is encouraging to know that a still
smaller European crop is looked
for this year. Such a state of things
has not been anticipated , for short
crops in foreign countries as well
as here are usually followed by
plentiful ones. "Wheat is now at a
low figure in anticipation of a re
duced foreign demand this year ,
but if that demand is to be as great
as it was last year the American
farmer will certainly have a good
market and fair prices. The Ameri
can harvest is goocl.and our surplus
of wheat would necessarily be
large if the foreign demand be
light. The reliability of the re
ports from abroad will have to be
confirmed before the home market
will be effected.
If there is a wheat shortage in
Europe this year its effect will be
felt by the corn growers of this
country as much as by the wheat
growers. This was the case last
year , and now that the European
nations have acquired a more
thorough knowledge of the value
of American corn as an article of
food there will be a still larger de
mand for it as a substitute for wheat.
The masses in Europe are poor
and cannot afford to buy wheat.
They did not buy it last year to
anything like the extent that was
expected , and they are no better
able to do so now. Therefore a
wheat shortage in Europe may be
depended upon to improve the
corn market as well as to sustain
the price of wheat. Further ad
vices us to the European harvest
will be awaited with keen interest
bv the farmers of America. Bee
FARMERS ulio were advised las
year to hold their wheat and corn
and name their own prices will re
member this year that the advice
came from men who are now con
spicuous in the people's part }
movement. They did not find i
profitable to hold their grain , anc
they will find no more profit this
year in taking the advice of these
wise men as to their political ac
tion. The farmers were told lasi
year that by holding their grain
they would receive prices aboul
twice as high as were actually re
alized. These predictions were
based upon the reports of a pros
pective famine in Europe. There
was a short crop of wheat in Europe
and our producers were gainers by
it , but not to the extent promised.
This year there is a short crop in
Europe , according to recent re
ports , but the farmer who holds
his grain in the hope of getting
$1.50 or $2 per bushel for it will
be deceived and disappointed. It
is better for the producer to use his
own common sense than to take
council'of irresponsible prophets.
Prophecy is easy , and for that rea
son a great many people engage
in the business. The farmer who
is v/ise will possess himself of all
the information possible concern
ing the conditions which are likely
to govern the market and then use
his own judgment as to selling or
holding his grain.
JUNE 30 last ended the year
since the McKinley tariff on tin
plate went into effect. The first
quarter , from June 30th , 1891 , to
September 30th , 1891 , shows that
820,922 pounds- tin plate were
produced in this country ; for the
next quarter there were 1,409S21
pounds ; next quarter 3,004,087
pounds , and for the last quarter
8,000,000 pounds , and it is esti
mated that 200,000,000 pounds
will be produced during the next
year. Now how in the face of
these facts can any free trade or
gan attempt to delude its readers
bv declaring that no tin plate is
being made in this country ? He .

THE reception tendered lasi
Wednesday evening to Goveinoi
McKiuley by the republicans ol
Nebraska under the leadership of
the young men's republican club
of Lincoln was a magnificent suc
cess in attendance , enthusiasm and
everything which goes to make up
a great polical demonstration. The
parade wras largely an impromptu
affairbut , it is not often exceeded in
this part of the west , no matter
what kind of campaigning may be
in progress.
We trust that Governor McKiii-
ley will see in this demonstration
an assurance which he can carry to
the republicans of the nation that
Nebraska is not to be classed among
the doubtful states this year. Here
on the ground we take this grand
outpouring of republicans as a cer
tain sign that the party throughout
the state is ready , able and anxious
to go into a fight that will make
success certain. Journal.
