SATURDAY, JULY 22,1893.

WHEAT is at the lowest price in two generations. So much for a Democratic victory.

ALL the large iron mines in the Michigan district are shutdown or running with a short force. Hurrah for Democracy.

TEXTILE mills of all sorts in New England are shutting down or preparing to do so. This is a great Democratic victory.

THE Atlanta Constitution, Democratic to the core, says the tariff will have to be removed from the hospital to the extra session in an ambulance.

'BKADSKEKT gives a list of forty-three national banks that haye gone into the hands of receivers since December 1, 1892. They had nominal assets of $28,000,000 and liabilities of $18,000,000.

GENERAL LEW WALLACE'S new novel will start off with an edition of 50,000. There is small probability of the sale ever reaching the Ben Hur mark. Of that novel 500,000 copies have been sold.

A FULL week elapsed without the important announcement being made that Gil Shanklin would be cared for. Yesterday it came. It was given out that he was to be appointed to a first class mission.

WHY the Indianapolis News and the Indianapolis Sentinel should kick on the nomination of Sim Coy as a candidate for councilman from an Indianapolis ward cannot be reasonably explained. Coy is a representative Democrat and it is altogether proper that the law of natural selection should be faithfully observed.

THE three thousand factory hands out of employment at Elwood have made the awful discovery that picking the bones of the roosters they carried in Democratic processions last fall does not satisfy the gnawings of hunger. They probably now regret that they re-, fused to walk under the same umbrella with their employers.

THE results accomplished by the Dow liquor law of Ohio ure worth noting. In substance the law grants to any one the right to sell intoxicating drink upon the payment of a yearly fee of $250. No certificate of "good moral character" is required and no discriminations are made so long as the stipulated fee iB paid. The Dow law has reduced the number of saloons from 16,000 to 11,000 and is said to have closed up scores of viciouB resorts. Last year the law produced a revenue to the State of $2,700,000.

IT WBB declared at Chicago and reiterated by Mr. Cleveland that the McKinley bill fostered no industry "BO much BB it does that of the Sheriff." The country supposing that these utterances were sincere and that the proposition to smash the law would be carried into effect began to haul in

Boil

upon

the accession of Mr. Cleveland's administration, and behold the result. The people have discovered that it iB not the McKinley law bat a Democratic administration that fosters the industry of the Sheriff.

EACH day the wires are freighted with the

newB

of the failure of banks, the

shutting down of factories, the dosing of mines, the banking of blast furnaces, and the suspensions and assignments of merchants and manufacturers. These announcements are generally coupled with the statement that the worst is over and that there is a feeling of reas6uranoe among the people. The paralysis of credit and the stagnatiem of industries Btill go on from day to dayc In the meantime Grover is fishing at Buzzard's Bay.

WE are only just beginning to feel the collateral effects of the change of administration. While people have talked as if the repeal of the Sherman act was all that was necessary, and that Congress could meet and pass a repeal bill and go home, they have overlooked the fact that the uncertainty of the McKinley act is even a worse menace. Theie is not a shrewd business man in the countrj who is not now trimming liis sales with a view to the changes in the tariff which the dominant party is bound to make—that is, if they undertake to fulfill even half of their pledges.

THE TARIFF AND SILVER. The Washington Post, a paper that hitherto has supported Grover Cleveland and has on several occasions resented what it called "partisan criticism" of the Cleveland Administration, has discovered that the true cause of the tremendous loss inflicted upon the American people is not the Sherman law but the Democratic threat of free trade. It states the situation clearly in the following:

Is It possible longer to believe that the Silver Purchasing act of 1800 is solely responsible for the existing financial emergency? Do reason and probability, or either of them, warrantjthe proposition that a repeal of that law will restore2 prosperity and confidence, set idle* mills in motion, build up commercial credit, repair the crumbling fortunes of railroads, and bring back to the coffers of the banks the millions now hidden away in safes and lockers?

We ask for information. The Pout is not hostile to a repeal)of the Sherman act. We do not approve the further coinage of a dollar which is intrinsically worth little more than half a dollar. Wo hold that a nation no more than an individual can afford to bo dishonest. Hut we should like for someone to show us, simply, clearly and explicitly, how and why the coinage of this dollar has closed up factories, paralyzed railroad and commercial enterprises, depressed stocks and bonds, frightened banks into stagnation and depositors into blind terror.

It is easy to understand hat, sooner or later, the operation of the Sherman act may be to embarass the Lnitcd States Treasury. Paying out $40,000,000 to $45,000,000 annually for the purchase of silver and incurring possible obligations to the same amounts for the redemption of the certificates issued against the bullion thus acquired might, in the course of time, involve the government in financial difficulties, notwithstanding its magnificent and seemingly Inexhaustible resources. Hut, pending that consummation, how are the individual, the private corporation and the general commerce of t',o country injured by an arrangement under which o$3,000,000 or 8:3,500,000 of money is monthly taken out of the Treasury and put into circulation among the people? We have heard of panics from a scarcity of money. It is possible that our ipanic has been brought about by too much of that useful article.

Throughout the term of the Harrison Administration the people were loudly, constantly and importunately assured, notably by Mr, Cleveland himself, that the country was drifting to ruin through the operation of the tarltl as adjusted bv Mr. McKinley and adopted by the Republican party. No one told us then that the silver policy of the government was paralyzing industry, destroying values, asphyxiating commerce and upsetting financial conditions to their injury and ruin.

The demagogic howl against the Sherman law has lost its effect, and the responsibility for the tremendous disasters the nation has endured in the last four months has been fixed by the Post where it belongs—on the free trade Democracy.

HOKE SMITH.

0

The Union soldier who voted for Cleveland at the last election ought to take great pleasure in reflecting upon the situation of affairs to-day in the Interior Department. Hoke Smith, the son of a rebel colonel, is the presiding genius over the Department and brings to the discharge of his oflicial duties all the hatred of a hot-blooded, unrepentant rebel, one who hates the Union soldier with the venom that is only known to the young rebels of the South. His father would have been more reasonable and more just than he. Any rebel soldier would have been more merciful upon veterans and their widows and orphans, but Grover Cleveland did not want such to provide over the Pension Department. He sought throughout the South for some rebel who hated the Union soldier with a hatred kindred to his own, and he found his man in the person of Hoke Smith. Jeff Davis, if living, would have been too good for the place to please Grover Cleveland. Hoke Smith is the name of the man selected to punish and persecute the Union soldiers and their widows and orphans to please the Nero who fishes at Hog Island while the defenders of the Union and their widows and orphans are consigned to the poor houses throughout the land. Let the soldier who voted for this disgrace upon our country go and get down upon his knees and aBk God to forgive him, and promise to do better in the future. It is a shame to him that he voted the Democratic ticket last fall. He should not only ask forgiveness, but he should come out like a man now and pledge himself to never be guilty of such a wrong again.

THE Frankfort News in a spirit of "ghoulish glee" observes that with the Democratic State Geologist in hoo for whipping his wife, and Sim Coy, a penitentiary convict, nominated for councilman in Indianapolis, the "house that Jefferson built" will soon need a warden and checkered clothing.

AE analysis of the political returns from any large city in America will verify the assertion that wherever crime and ignorance and depravity are greatest there the Democratic party is the strongest.

HOKE SMITH'S doctrine: "Every pensioner is a fraud until he

innocence."

"HOLD THE WHEAT."

Advice of a St. Louis Farm .Journal to Farmers—It Says the Price Is Sure to Go Up.

ST. LOUIS, July 20.—The Jou-nal of Agriculture, of this city, treating editorially of the condition of the present wheat crop and the probable advance in prices, say the best American and European authorities agree that the world's deficiency will be at least 100,000,000 bushels. The most reliable figures now place the total American crop of 1803 at about 383,000,000 bushels, which, added to the surplus carried over, will make less than 450,000.000 bushels. England will want probably 250,000,000 bushels and the home trade needs 370,000,000 bushels. The Journal believes that in view of the fact that the American crop is 130,000,000 bushels short as compared with last year and as Europe with a short crop is now grabbing up American wheat as fast as she can without attracting too much attention, the time has come when American farmers should not sell a bushel of wheat at present prices. For granting, it says, that prices do not advance, it will pay much better to feed to stock than to sell at present figures.

HE'S ALL RIGHT.

President Cleveland Announces Himself Again ill Good Health. BUZZAKDS BAY, Mass., July 20.—E. C. Benedict's steam yacht Oneida, having on board President Cleveland. Dr. Bryant and the owner, dropped anchor off Monument Neck late Wednesday afternoon. A few moments later the little launch was lowered and the party was soon landed at the wharf at Gray Gables. The party has been cruising since Monday along Long Island sound and Narragansett bay, and in the meantime doing more or less fishing. A call at Gray Gables found the president on the veranda. He expressed himself as having had a most enjoyable cruise and that he did not contemplate another during his stay here. In speaking of his physical condition he said that he was in splendid health and the rheumatic trouble had entirely disappeared, for which he was truly thankful. He could not give any definite time that he would be likely to return to Washington.

National Union Day at the Fair. DETROIT, Mich., July 20.—At the second session of the National Union senate held Wednesday a resolution was passed appropriating $2,000 to defray the expenses of a proper celebration of National Union day at the Columbian exposition, which was fixed at August 2. The headquarters of the union in Chicago will be decorated and in one of the choral halls in Jackson park the exercises of the day will be held. It was decided to appoint a solicitor to attend to the legal business of the order. A resolution was passed making glass-blowers and millers ineligible to membership.

JL'lead Not Guilty.

MILWAUKEE, July 20.—Judge Jenkins did not appear in court Wednesday with the other directors of the Plankinton bank indicted last week. He was represented by counsel. The indictments against the bank officers, Day, Plankinton and Momsem, were taken up first. They pleaded not guilty and the cases were ordered placed on the September calendar. A plea of not guilty, with the privilege of withdrawing it, was entered in behalf of the directors, including Judge enkins.

Burial of Anthony J. Drexel* PHILADELPHIA, July 20.—The remains of Anthony J. Drexel were consigned to the tomb Wednesday with services as unostentatious as was the life of the banker and philanthropist. Only the simple ritual of the Protestant Episcopal church was read, no remarks of any kind beyond this being made by any of the clergymen. Several hundred of the relatives and friends of the deceased

were in attendance.

FLIGHT OF PIGEONS.

Thirty-Eight I!ir!s Keleast* 1 at ifuckson Park in a Contest for Medals. CHICAGO, July 17.—Thirty-eight swiftwinged pigeons were released at the world's fair grounds at 10:10 a. m. on Saturday. Thirty-three of them set out for Newark, N. J., and the other five were off immcclitely for Washington. It was the inauguration of the homing pigeon contests conducted under the auspices of the exposition. The flights will be followed by others next week and the contests will be continued at intervals all through the summer.

One contest will follow another for several weeks during the summer. The exposition gives medals, cash prizes and certificates in these contests. Each bird that starts carries a leg band of aluminium marked with a number known only to the starter. When the bird reaches home the arrival will be reported immediately by telegraph, with the time. These contests will prove exceedingly interesting and will doubtless develop some wonderful speed.

TRAIN GOES OVER A PRECIPICE.

Six Persons Killed and Thirty Seriously Injured by an Accident in Spain. MADRID, July 17.—A dispatch from Bilboa, capital of the province of Biscay a, in northern Spain, says that a terrible railroad accident occurred in that province Friday night. A train consisting of a locomotive and six carriages, while rounding a sharp curve in the mountains, ran oft' the track and went over a high precipice. Six persons were killed and thirty seriously injured. Many of the victims are members of the best Basque families. The provincial government authorities and a number of physicians have started for the scene of the accident. Owing to the mountainous character of the country and the fact that the train fell into the valley it is extremely difficult to get to the suiYerers to relieve them. The place where the train went over the precipice is at the head of a valley noted for its picturesqueness. It is about midway between the villages of Auzuola and Vergara.
