Growing. crops in several counties in Nebraska suffered greatly Sund ay from a hail and wind storm. The finding ef the body of W. I. McClure, near Topeka, Kan., makes the eleventh suicide in that city since June 4. Continued prosperity and increase in the wages of laboring men has effectually shut the mouth of the high tariff yelper. ——— Democrats fall out and fuss at one another, but they generally get together on election day and that is what hurts the republicans. ——— A few guns trained on the pig- tails from the Charleston would have a tendency to check barbarism and learn the Chinese to respect the American flag and missionaries. The resolutions passed by the Miners mass meeting at Spring Val- ley. Illinois, the other day in regard to the race riot, had to be made in seven different languages. That shows who are working our coal mines. A bunch of switches with a note attached was tied to the door nob of G. F. Kelley's hotel at Walker, a day er so ago. The note requested him to mend his ways. Mr. Kelley has been a resident of Walker for a number of years and feels indignant oyer the matter. Mayor Davis, of Kansas City, has withdrawn from the republican gub- ernatorial race in this state on the plea of poverty. Filley is in the saddle and he wants a man for gov- ernor witha barrel. The old man is not running the republican party for hia health. The native Chinese must be densely ignorant and superstitious. In many places in China they think the missionary preachers boil little babies for the oil, in other sections they are led to believe that mission- aries cut out the eyes and hearts of Chinamen. With such ignorance is it to be wondered at that our mis- sionaires are mobbed and murdered by these heathens. The Stare bank examiner Jordon James, has found the Bank of Buck- ner, capital stock $10,000, in an un- safe condition, and the institution has been closed by secretary Lesu-. eur. The state bank examiners are doing excellent work in protecting the people against these wild cat banks doing business in this state. eee ee el Missouri was admitted into state- hood August 10th, 1821, and the event was celebrated at Odessa, Mo., Saturday. Judge Gibson, of Kansas City, Col. J. T. Crisp, Independence and R. W. Nichols,of Marshall, were the orators of the day. The celebra- tion was attended by about 5,000 people. One of the features of the occassion was asham battle between the British and American forces. The motion for a new trial in the Taylor case was overruled by the court and the prisoners were sen- tenced to be hanged in October. An appeal will be taken to the supreme court but there is little doubt but that the Taylors will pay the penalty for their crime on the gallows. The Taylors were rich men, and there being not the slightest provocation or excuse for the brutal murder they committed they richly deserve the retribution they have brought upon themselves, and they will go to the gallows with less sympathy from the general public than any criminals that have been hung in this state in @ acore of years.

The big car barns of the Cleveland elec- tric railway company were blown down, barns were unroofed, giant trees were uprooted. At Ashtabula, four big hoisting machines on the docks were blown down causing a loss of $10,000. A joint debate between Gen. Har- den, democrat, and Col. Bradley, re- publican,gubernatorial candidates in Kentucky, has been arranged to take place at Louisville, August 19. Gen. Harden will open the debate with a speech of one hour and a quarter. They have % number of similar appointments throughout the state. The last one will be Sept. 9th. —_———-_ The order of Chief Irwin to the saloon keepers of Kansas City to close their places of business on the Sabbath day was disobeyed by sa- loon men last Sunday, and the police made twenty-four arrests. By this wholesale arrests the saloon men of Kansas City will learn that the chief is not to be monkeyed with and from this on you will tind Kansas City a dry town. Some of the cities that are in the market as borrowers find that they have to pay higher interest than they did a year or two ago. This is not because money is worth more for business and manufacturing than it is to lock up in bonds. All the loanable money is wanted by merchants, manufacturers and rail- road buildecs at all commercial rates of interest. The most of the cash in active use goes to pay the higher wages, of labor.—Chicago Chronicle. The populist party in Texas and other states are wasting a great deal of eympathy on the labor agitator, Eugene Debs, now serving a jail sentence in Chicago, for being the leader of the great Chicago riot. Supporting and upholding such men as Debs isa great mistake of the populist party, and such acts haye a tendency to disgust decent people and drive them from the support of an organization that will persistent- ly uphold law breakers and anarch ists like Debs. We will say to Commissioner Thurman that the question of school supervision is not a new one to this county. It was submitied to the qualified voters of Bates county a few years ago and was defeated by an overwhelming majority. Weare satistied it has many advantages and not a few draw-backs, but as it is not up now for adoption we will not discuss it, when it is submitted we will, no doubt, have something to say. By the fiftieth annual apportion- mett of state school moneys made by the state superintendent of pub- lic schools August 2, 1895, Bates county with an enumeration of school children 10,521, gets $9,- 709 32. Comparing the enumeration of Bates with other counties of the state, we find that aside from the counties with the large cities, Jack- son, Green, Jasper, Buchanan and St.Louis there is but one coun- ty in the state (Saline) that leads Bates, in point of enumeration. Ver- non comes next and Henry follows. A wonderful machine is the corn cutting harvester just introduced by the McCormack Co. The ma- chine was tested in a field near Se- dalia last week and it is said worked like a charm, cutting and binding eleven acres of corn. There was a large gathering of farmers to wit ness the operations of the harvester, and the simplicity of the machine made them wonder that the inven- tion had not been discovered years ago. The cutter does the work of six men, with the rapid improve ments in farm machinery the day is not far distant when steam will take the place of horses and sulkey plow, and instead of breaking four and five acres of ground a day the far- mer will turn over fifteen to twenty. Surely this is an age of invention.

WITH THE PEOPLE TO-DAY | THAN HE EVER WAS” | | a | | Then it he: Be War Becarse i Since the has a Record.” Bar Harbor, Me, Aug. 10.—“In the selection of the next nominee for President I propose to take an active part, but Iam not a candidate my- self,” said Mr. Whitney to your cor- respondent to day. “No man has ever refused a nom- ination tendered by a national con- vention,” said Mr. Whitney, deci- sively. It may be announced at once and the news will clear away a fog of uncertainty in New York as to Mr. Whitney's plans that he has no in- tention of taking part iv the pacifica- tion or reorganization of the Demo- cratic organizations in New York city this time. ‘‘Time will heal many of the political wounds,” said he, “and those who are on the scene should find a remedy for them. I am alway glad to do any service for the party in New York city, but I do not see how I can help it just now.” “De you regard the posibility of a double Democratic organization in New York city as a menace to the success of the party in the nation next year?” “The effect would be unfortunate on the party outside of New York city, but wot necessarily fatal in the city. Our experience has often proved that two Democratic local tickets mean more Democratic votes for the presidential ticket. If there is dissatisfaction with the local or- ganization, a second Democratic ticket gives every kicker a vent for displeasure and at the same time brings every Democrat to the polls for President.” “It is not a mere union of Demo- cratic organizations in New York that is desired, but a reunion of forces. You will remember that in spite of the strife on local questions in 1892 the people were united in their choice of a President, while in 1880, after all Democratic organiza- tions had been brought together for Mr. Grace for Mayor the Democratic vote was disappointingly light and Gen. Hancock lost the State. “I think the condition of the Dem- ocratic party in the whole country to day is remarkably strong, strong- er than it has ever been since the war. “Beeau.e for the first time since the war it has a record to stand on. It has done something. The coun- try in 1892 was in a deplorable con dition. In spite of an extremely high tariff public revenues were fall ing and the Republican party had proved itself irresponsible by its extravagance. Theso called pros perity of the county was not well) distributed; it was not general pros | perity. It was confined chiefly to industries monopolistic in character i and tendency. They were fostered by a tariff which granted enormous profits in spots amd at the same time stifled general cempetition and} repressed individual enterprise: Colossal fortunes did indeed increase under that tariff and the people thoroughly understand that the McKinley act fostered such fortunes and granted them immunity from! the restraint of competition. | “While some great corporations | were thus thriving the people and the national treasury were impover ished and every month added to the weight of the hundreds of tons of silver that the Government was buy ing but could not comm and circulate. A crash was inevitable. The Cleve- land Administration met the crisis which the Republicans had evaded. The Republicans created the diffi- culties and the Cleveland Adminis- tration has solved them. “I think the Democratic party stands to-day where the Republican party stood at the end of the war. It has made a new record. It has pass- eda great national emergency and conquered it. Every obstacle to are stored prosperity has been removed. This is what the Democrats have done and what Democrats propose to goon doing, even better in the! future than in the past. “Do you wish to go forward, or) do you wish to turn back’’ the Dem-! ‘The Democratic Perty Stronger Now | | Republican |gress, and I think he will make a) ) record of it. | Republicans to show more self con | |trol in money matters next winter than they have in previous sessions. | That party 1s almost alwaye reckles | and sometimes even profligate in | jocratic party will ask the country | next year. j “Do yo think the Government rev- | enues will suffice under the present! tariff?” | “Yes, with Democratic economy, | but not if Republican extravagance | |is unchecked.

He is now necessarily the only bulwark against extravagance in Con- I do not expect the spending public funds.” Will not Mr. Reed try to curb that tendency to make for himself a plat- form?” “He may succeed in doing so, but I doubt it. The party is irresponsi- ble in appropriating money,I repeat and Mr. Cleveland is our main safe- guard against waste in the next year. ? “As for the third term, I can only say this: If you went among the Democrats of the country,and could ask every actual Democratic voter whom he really preferred as Presi- dent wholly apart from any consid- erations of the sensibility or pro- priety of a third term. I think a majority of them would tell you that they preferred Mr. Cleveland to any other man as President. I cannot conceive that anything except, per- haps, a practically usanimous call would induce him again to be a can didate, although in my judgment,he is more popular to day than he ever was. “As to other condidates events of the next twelve months will develop them. You know we begin and fin- ish the making of a president with marvelous celerity in this country. The opposition brings the man. Mr Cleveland himself was the most striking instance of that. As I was standing on the east portico of the capital listening to his first inaugu- ral address in 1885, a friend of his and mine pointed to the new Presi- dent and declared: What an incredible event the elec- tion of this man by the whole people to be the successor of President Garfield, who died without ever having heard the name of his suc- cessor, without in fact knowing that there was such a man as Grover Cleveland living in Buffalo. Our presidential candidates that win,” added Mr. Whitney, usually loom quickly on the horizon not too long before they are called for by the people.” “What uf Republicans?” “There are a number of fairly good men, but no good issues to them to figkt for. Surely the re- publicans will not appeal to the country for a restoration of a pro- tective tariff and in no other eyent is McKinley a logical candidate. Mr. Reed’s supreme test will be his lead ership of the majority in the House next winter, and it is too early to speculate about his position.” “Western republicans speak high- ly of Mr. Allison of Iowa.’ “Senator Allisoa,” said Mr. Whit uey cordially, isan abler man than many people in the east know. committee in the senate so many years as he was without fine ability and rare sagacity, and senator Allison has always kept out of hot water. “What of silver?” The silver extremists, the 16 to 1 unlimited coinage men, are losing followers daily.

Elliston, Ky., Aug. 8 —Druggist R A. Dickerson was fatally shot last night by Dr. A. G. Elliston of New- castle County. Dr. Elliston had been called by a telegram to this} place, where his father was dying. Suspecting that Dickerson. with whom he had had deadly fend on account of a lawsuit, would waylay him, he armed himself and when the train slowed up be saw Dickerson | jon the platform and fired at him; through ihe car window.
