FRIDAY, JULY 30. 1897.

THE hum of industry and the march of prosperity follow in the train of a protective tariff, and they can't be howled down by the Democratic press.

WHKS the farmers are prosperous the whole country is prosperous. This year the condition of the farmers is better than it was before in a half a dozen years.

COLONEL WATTEISSON says the sound money Democrats in Kentucky will poll more votes than the silver Democrats. That being the case the Republicans will win in a jvalk.

THE new tariff law increases the internal revenue tax from 50 cents to SI per 1,000 on cigarettes. Thousands of papas and mammas would have been glad to see the tax raised to S100 per 1,000.

v-i THE Secretary of the Trersury holds that the new tariff act was in effect at the beginning of the day on which it received the approval ef the President, and therefore became operative after midnight of Friday, July 23.

THE new tariff law limits tourists to bring into the country S100 dollars worth of goods free of duty. Heretofore the amount has been unlimited. It is estimated that the government will derive 810,000,000 revenue from this source alone.

AN Alabama paper remarks: "The man who roams the country like a weeping Jeremiah, wringing his hands and shedding perspiration over the woes of the dear people, is apt to be a demagogue." The calamity wailer is getting to be pretty well understood.

THE figures 6how that industrial stocks have increased in value by §209,000,000. Railroad stocks have increased •$207,000,000 and railroad bonds305,000,000. This shows again of 3542,000,000 in the last four months. These figures are based on actual sales in the market, and cannot be gainsaid. Prosperity is coming with healing in its wings.

TUEHE never before was such a demand upon the treasury for small denominations of bank bills. The treasury department has ordered 5104,000,000 in small notes to meet the demand. 1 this is not one of the signs of coming prosperity and the estimate of value the people place in the paper currency of the country, what is it? Paper money and silver as good as gold, and good alike in every State of the Union.

TJII: grain and live s»cok products of the farmers of the United States are worth £350,000,000 more now than they were one year ago. The farmers have more to sell and they will get better prices for nearly all their products. They will get 8100,000,000 more for their wheat, 340,000,000 more for their corn, 310,000,000 more for other grain, and 3200,000,000 more for their live stock—a total of 3350,000,000. The facts show that prosperity has come to the American farmer.

WHEAT to-day is bringing in open market 20 cents a bushel more than it did last year when Candidate liryan was 6o busily explaining to the farmers that the gold standard had forced agricultural products down to lowwater mark. There is no chEnge in the gold standard, but the gap between silver and wheat rapidly broadens, silver going down and wheat up. Everything which Bryan said has proven to be false. He made predictions, but the opposite thing has taken place in every instance.

Sr-KATCMS P.i.kd named the standing committees before the House adjourned last Saturday evening. The Ways and Means Committee had been chosen at the beginning of the special session and George W.

THE balloon in which Andree started to the North Pole ia made of three thicknesses of silk firmly glued to gether, with five coatings of varnish on the outside. It is seventy-five feet from the summit to the opening, and ninety-seven feet from the summit to the bottom of the basket, which is five feet deep, with a wicker cover, and holds a bedstead for one person, the arrangement being for one to sleep while two watch and observe For cooking an apparatus will be dropped fifteen feet below the basket by means of a rope. There are attached to the balloon a sail and also several drat"--ropes, by means of which they hope to be able to steer. The commencement of the trip was most successful, and when last seen the balloon was moving in a northeasterly direction at tin- rate of twenty-two miles an hour. This expedition is made under the patronage of the King of Norway and Sweden. Professor Andree and his two associates are eminent meteorologists and scientific men of Stockholm, though this is no assurance that the scheme is practical or that they will ever be heard of again.

THE New York Sun takes the wind out of the sails of the free trader who is continually and everlastingly making a comparison of the different tariff laws by the per cent, averages when it says: "The circumstance is not very important, but it is worth while to remember that these comparisons of tariffs by the averages of the ad valorem duties which they impose are essentially misleading, if not intentionally dishonest. Such comparisons by averages do not necessarily signify anything as to the character of the tariffs compared. For instance, if there should be absolute free trade in all articles of import except paper cigarettes, bay rum and playing cards, everything being on the free list, and the duties of the present Wilson tariff on those three articles should be retained for revenue, the average duty then collected at the custom houses would be 133 per cent., or more than twice the alleged average of the Oingley bill."

PROF. BENJAEIN IDEWHEEI.EH, of the Greek department in Cornell University, has declined the Presidency of Rochester University. In the correspondence Professor Wheeler said that he could not consider the proposition so long as Rochester refused to admit women, and provided no technical schools. Commenting on this the New York Independent says ".it is interesting to see technical instruction, which an institution call itself a university ought to supply, 6o highly valued by one who is a professional classical scholar and quite as interesting- is it to learn what Professor Wheeler's experience in a men's college and a mixed college has taught him. We doubt if a man can be found that has taught in a mixed college who would go back to the monastic system. Nature and experience, yes, and good order and economy are against it

GOVERNOR MOUNT has issued an official appeal to the people of the State calling upon them to aid the suffering coal miners. He based his appeal upon the report made by the commissioners sent out by him to investigate their condition. These commissioners reported that destitution already existed in over 1,000 families involving at least 7,000 people. The Governor also has apppointed a relief committee of five men consisting of John B. Conner, John F. Wallick, J. Q. Van Winkle, John W. Murphy, Wm. E. English, II. H. Hanna and John Osterman, who are authorized to receive and distribute all money and supplies contributed.

THE prediction of Brvan that the big gold lind in the Klondyke region would "do something for silver-' has been fulfilled after a fashion he did not anticipate. The white metal, which has been on the down grade for thirty years, yesterday reached the low water mark of fifty-nine cents an ounce, making the silver in a standard dollar worth in the markets of the world but 45.03 cents. At the same time wheat reached 7S.75 cents a bushel, making the difference between Coin and Bryan's twins of just 33 12 cents..

FOUR months and twenty days after the administration began, its tariff bill was enacted. This is quicker time than was ever before made with a measure of this sort in the United States since the tariff first became a partisan issue. It is the quickest time ever made by a partisan or non-parti-sau tariff except by the first tariff act ever passed in the United Stateb, the one which President Washington signed on July 4, 1^89, four months after the government went into operation.

AFTER denouncing the new tariff bill as the most outrageous bill ever proposed in the American Congress, as was done by Senator Teller, one would have supposed that he would have voted against it. But, no. Instead, he deliberate)y walked out of the Senate chamber and refusad to vote for or against it. He was not even paired. Teller may be set down as an old fraud and a demagogue

CIVIC PRIDE.

A town or a city stands in its own light by not making the most of its opportunities. It pays from every point of view—including that of hard cash—to improve a village, a town or a city, to render them as attractive and resourceful as possible. True, well-paved and well-lighted streets, smooth cement sidewalks, a good system of sewerage, pretty parks, fountains, public libraries and all related comforts cost money. But then they are worth more than they cost they are investments which yield laree returns. A community which can boast of theui attracts people who are looking about for a place to plant a home, attracts summer visitors, attracts capitalists who have money to place. On the other hand, stagnation masquerading as conservatism never helped a town or city to "increase and multiply." And it is this conservatism which keeps Crawfordsville from becoming one of the most desirable places of residence in the West. -Many people are lavish with their money in beautifying their homes and keeping their grounds in order, yet when they are called upon to improve a sidewalk or a street a roar ascends not unlike that of, a calamity howler. What Crawfordsville demands is a little more civic pride.

DUKINC. Saturday and Sunday twen-ty-nine vessels laden with grain cleared from the Chicago harbor. They had aboard 139,000 bushels of wheat, 1,304,000 bushels "of corn, and 302,000 bushels of oats, besides large shipments of ilour, barley, rye, and other cereals. The magic touch of prosperity is beginning to be felt by everybody.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 27.—John B. Conner, stato statistician, and Thomas J. Terlivuie, ex-judge of tlio Boone circuit court, appointed special commissioners by Governor Mount to investigate the conditions existing in the miuing dis-. trict of the state, concluded their mission yesterday, by submitting a written report to the governor. Their conclusions were deemed of sufficient importance to warrant the governor in tailing steps for making a public appeal for as-

GOVKltXOR MOUNT.

sisrance for the miners and their families and with that end in view a meeting of representative citizens, together with the state officers, was held at the parlors of the executive department last evening. The report of the commissioners was considered and it was unanimously declared that the emergency was of sufficiently serious import to demand a formal appeal to the state at large for means to provide relief for the prevailing distress in the coal mining districts.

Governor Mount's appeal is in part as follows: After a thorough and pains-taking examination of the condition of the Indiana coal miners and their families, it becomes apparent that, they are sorely in need of prompt and liberal assistance.

It is not pertinent, at present, to enter into argument to account for existing condit ions. The mere fact that they exist is sufficient. The situation confronting us is one that strongly appeals to human sympathy and invites the most generous consideration, and I urgently uppeal'for prompt and sufficient public assistance, to the end that pressing necessities may be relieved and in order that the unfortunate miners and their dependent families may have renewed and practical assurance that neither the republic nor the state is ungratelul.

The miners a»-e discontented with the conditions to which rliey are subjected, but they continue to manifest a commendable spirit of patience and are animated by a patriotic purpose to preserve the peace—thus adding honor to their citizenship and appealing all the more strongly to the helping hands of those who can afford to give. Money, provisions or clothing will be equally acceptable, and I earnestly hope that every community in Indiana will promptly respond to this appeal by instituting organized efforts for providing relief to distressed fellowbeings.

It should constantly be borne in mind that the prevailing destitution and want in the coal districts is a condition for which the miners are by no means wholly responsible. There is ample testimony of the most trustworthy character, made oil the authority of operators themselves, that these employes are so poorly paid, the direct result of unwise, competition among producers, that the compensation is barely sufficient, under the most favorable circumstances, to provide sustenance.

Whilst mothers and children are enduring almost unspeakable hardships in consequence of being bereft of the actual necessities of life, a generous people should not long withhold their practical offerings of syiupatiiy and charity. iav the Christlike spirit of philantrophy liil the hearts of all our citizens and cause them to realize the truth of the divine injunction that "ft is more blessed to give than to receive."

I therefore call upon the people of our great state to render to these unfortunate miners and their ill-fated families all the assistance possible. 1 sincerely trust that all the cities and counties in Indiana will at once adopt means lor making contributions, allot which will be received by tile central organization at Indianapolis and be thence distributed in an orderly and methodical manner to those who are'found wort hy and deserving, in accordance with arrangements yet to he determined in detail.

What tile Commission Says.

The commissioners in their report say that if the present conditions continue much longer in the six coal counties 1947 families, with an average of four to the family or 7788 persons will be in actual want, to say nothing of miners with no families many of whom are in hard lines.

DEATH OF EX-SENATOR DOOLITTLE.

lie Was One of the War Senator^—llrief Sketch of His Life. PROVIDENCE, R. I., July 28.—Ex-Sena­

tor James R. Doolittle, who died yesterday at the home of his daughter near this city, was one of the now very few war senators. Mr. Doolittle was 82 years old and his death was caused by Bright's disease.

James R. Doolittle was born rit Hampden, N. Y., on Jan. 3, 1815. After graduating from Geneva college, New York, ho studied and practiced law. Previous to his removal to Wisconsin, which was in 1851, he served several years as district attorney of Wyoming county, New York. In 18f:t he was elected judge of the first judicial circuit of Wisconsin, resigning from the bench in 1S56, when chosen United States senator as a Democrat-Ke-publican and served two terms, or until IStiO.

In his last term as senator, Judge Doolittle forfeited his standing as a Kepublican by contesting the impeachment of. President Johnson, other Republican senators who took a like position being William Pitt Fessenden of Maine, ami Lyman Trumbull of Illinois.

Retiring from the senate, ho made the race for governor of Wisconsin on the Democratic ticket, but was defeated. Subsequently he engaged in the practice of law in Chicago. Judge Doolittle's death occurred on the G'Jth anniversary of his marriage.

Mr. Doolittle was president of the Philadelphia National Union convention of 1800 and also of the Baltimore National Democratic convention of 1S73, which nominated Horace Greeley for the presidency.

DISMISSAL OF ANDREWS.

London Chronicle Thinks the Union Will Have a Shaking I."p. LONDON', July 28.—The Daily Chroni­

cle today devotes an editorial article to the dismissal of E.'Benjamin Andrews from tlio presidency of Brown University. The article says: "There is no doubt that, like Professor Bemis, who was dismissed from the University of Chicago, President Andrews was dismissed because lie warned his countrymen against the growth of monopolies. "It seems certain that a conflict is approaching that will shako the Union \s it was shaken by the great slavery question. It looks as though the splendid millionaire endowments of American universities had the unworthy motive of the promotion of the interests of the monopolists. We anticipate a great wave of opinion against the pretensions of the monopolist class as dangerous to freedom. Uiis movement will lead to the substitution of public for private control and ownership of the big trusts and monopolies and the substitution of state for private colleges and universities."

DROP IN SILVER.

Business In .Mexico Are Somewhat Troubled.

Urrv (IF Mi-xiai, July 2S.— The drop in silver has created much comment here in financial and business circles. The exchange on New York rose to 118 and even on the street to 120, and London exchange was quoted at 22 pence. If silver remains down the loss to corporations having gold interest, to meet abroad will be large and at the present baids gold interest on government loans abroad will require $1,000,0U0 more in silver per annum. Many orders for goods abroad have been cancelled, merchants desiring to see how the exchange is going. It is generally believed that the sudden fall in silver is due to the unloading by large bullion holders, coupled with new gold discoveries and the continued small demand in India for silver.
