less Lord Randolph Churchill, illnessnotwithstanding, should happen to bofirst lu tbe field. Both are probably engaged at this moment drafting the declarations ot policy which aro to soundtbe keynote-o- f tbe ht. Mr. Gladstone's reply to tho Tory challenge shguld immediately appearsua both sides thereupon fall to Ingrim earnest. Campaign speeches usual-ly follow the addresses; this year theyhave to a large extent preceded them,and tbe country alroody knows what thomain issues are to be. Lord Randolph T

Walesis stirret to her depths by tbeIrich revolt and bIiows a firm frontfor principality interests. Ireland's cam-paign will decldo whether thocry for tbo repeal of the union is the d- -.

mand of tbe nation or a faction, it isorth notblne that th leading Issues In

Kngluml, Scouauii and Wales point tohomo rule as tho only practicable solu-lutlo-

leaving Ireland entirely out of thequestion. Air. Uladstone has repeatedlyadmltlted, both lnsldu and outside Par-

liament, tbat tbe pressure ot public business alone points to tbo absolute neces-sity of some form of distribution ol localor National legislation among the locali-ties or nationaltles respectively Interest-ed. Take for Instance the Manchestership canal bill. It is a measure ot purelylocal Interest and ought not to bavo enjoyed the attention of Irish, Scotchaud weisn memuers ior a i:ngio nour,instead of taking up sitting after silting,week after week uud month after monthto the dotrlment of Urgent lmperlalInterests affecting tho cornmou familyof nations. The Scotch disestablishmentaffords another instance. Gladstone hasdeliberately placed himself on recordwith respect to this measure, that it isone lor Scotchmen soiciy to ueai wun.He does not attempt to rcconcllo thisstatement with tho fact that Scotchmenare utterly powerless to control legislation on this or any snnlcct, and are entirely In tho bands of a majority com-posed of English, Welsh and Irian mem-- .bers. Mr. Gladstone, fludlng blmsolfunder the necessity, and a serious necessity It Is, ot protesting against disestab-lishment belug made a test question attbe Scotch elections, has unconsciouslyplaced himself at the side of Mr. Tar-- .cell, a supporter of home-rul- e in its wid-

est application. Mr. Gladstone has 'for.years past championed local

a restricted form ot home-rul-

Local as it confrontspoliticians in England y is home-rul- e

in no restricted sense, but In Itsfullest and completcst aspect Tbe timofot confining local to un-

important urban and suburban bodies,partly elective and partly c,

tional with imperialfunctions for a central authority, muslfollow as natnrally as water flows dowuhill. Mr. Chamberlain, Sir Charles D like,Lord Uartlngton and all Liberalsof prominence have pronounced for tbfullest and completcst scbeme- - ot local

stall them an'l jroake National legislation;a prominent plank In the Liberal plpWfurm.It is too early yet to figure on the numberof scats to be contested at the approach-- 'Ing election, but the returns alreadyreceived' make It tolerably certain thatfullv three fifths of tbe one-se- divisionswill be contested. Ou the Liberal sidufewer candidates hava appeared in thenewly created ruraV constituenciesthan had been anticipated.' The partymanagers are indiposed to find moneyfor candidates uuable to pay tbe ex-

penses of a contested election themselvetand a niggardly spirit, as unusual as it Is

alarming to nominees of local politicalbodies, Is manifested at headquarters.

At Conservative headquarters all Islife, activity and downright hard work.Two-thir- or more of the scats ' whichtbe managers consider worth contestinghave been supplied with candidates andthe party is providing the necessaryfunds with unsparing baud.

movement of tur spring wheat cropIX TUB NORTHWEST.

Bt. Paul, Mi.nx., September 10. Themovement of tho spriug wheat crop intbe Northwest has just begun. In tboNorthern Pacific country, . where . theheaviest movement comes early, farmersare borrowing money with which to buildgranaries on their farms and It is likelythat less grain will be stored In elevatorsthis year than hitherto. . TbeNorthern FaclQc Elevator Company islending tbe farmers money on theircrops and allowing them to keep tnegrain on their farms, the only conditionbelns tbat the company snail he allowedthe first chauce to buy tbe grain wbenthe farmers get ready to sell. Other companies are also lending money, and larm-iers are able to cot all they want on reasonable terms. This will have a decidedeffect ou prices, as it enables . tbe farmerto hold bis wheat nutil he Is ready to

ellThe movement of tbe crop so far bas

been very light, and threshing has notadvanced sufficiently to give a correctIdea ot the yield. Reports are generallydisappointing to those who have claimeda full crop. Threshing has been delayedby recent boavr rains. A large amountof No. 1 bard wheat was sold at Minneapolis last week at about eighty cents,and was all bought for local millers- -

The flour market is in a very bad way.For tbe past three months tbeproduction bas been less than ever before Inthe same time, bnt prices have steadilydeclined. The Idle mills start up1 strainnext week, and the production will bevery largely Increased. What will bedone with the flour nobody knows, asthere Is absolutely no demand for thesmall amount now being made except thelow grade The capacity of tho mills is160,000 barrels per week.
