was considered at n cabinet council
lust week. The minister of agri
culture states that the shortage
wlguld amount to 100,000,000 hecto
liters. Proposals regarding the
duties on Jiriportecl w'lieat were
niscusWd, hut no condition was
reached.
As a hectoliter contains nbout
two and flvc-ixth Winchester
bushels, It follows that according
to tho above report the French crop
is about two hundred and eighty
million bushe's short. As this is
such an enormous stun, very near
the entire cron of France in good
years, wo arc disponed to look upon
this as a reckless estimate, unlet
indeed the French fanners have
met with a total loss of their etitlro
grain crop.

The Astorlan of last week contains
a very forcible editorial on tho U"e-
lessncss of the State ltallroad Com
mission. The Comml'Ioii "costs
tlioHtutu $1,000 a year and apart
from giving employment to three or
four worthy fellow citizens luu no
visible excuse for being."
The Commission haw power to In
spect and Investigate railroads and
summon persons and papers, but
after all that Is done it has Ho reme
dial powers to correct any evils that
may bo found to exist. A justice of
thu peiicj has more power than this
commission."
The Portland News adds: "Tho
fact of tho matter is simply that t lie
bill creating tho Commission was
satisfactory to a combination who
represent the railroad corporations
and if the bill contained an impodi
moutto the operationsof theroad,you
can wager your sweet o.tistenca that
it would never have passed."
A railroad corporation attorney
told tho writer that ho had drafted
tho bill and that it was satisfactory
to all his people, and that it was a
sound of drums that would attract
tho attention of tho people fora time
ut least. Continuing, says tho
News, "Theso asitilo hiwyera and
wary politicians well knew that tho
Commission was a big bug bear
which they gave to tho peoplo to
B.itlsfy their clamors and that really
tho railroads, their employers, would
not bo Injured by It. A ltallroad
Commission Indeed! A candle In a
pumpkin to huare the railroads! How
these politicians laugh belling tho
pumpkin to see tho yokels wonder
tit such a Railroad Commission."
ytieh appears to bo tho conviction
of all w ell lufoi in-d thinking peoplo.
If a Commission Is created, thev
should have tho power to Investi
gate and eorivct wrongs. Ap'k'als
Irom their decision should bo grant
ed either party, aiidthoCoinnib.sion
should bo formed as an umpire or
coiut tode.il fairly with public cur
riers as well as Iho private citizen.
