The railroads of the Untied States have outstanding orders for 1/0,000 tons of m tv railf—this is the largest record in tire history of railroading in the country, and a sure indication of brisk business in ail lines. It is not wise, neither is it good form, to try to build your (tvn business up by tearing another’s down— the time for reaction conies, and it generally hurts. The sensible tiling to do is to strive to merit success, and thus win it.
The Grecnsburg new Era is now conducted by Messrs Clark <fc Locke. Tli6 latter hails from Columbus, has bought an interest in the New Era, and will attend to the business end of the newspaper—we wish the newfirm the abundant success they deserve. The Democracy of Ohio have opportunity to re-elect Ex-Governor Campbell to the Governorship of the State, and there is a strong probability of the election resulting in just that way. The people of Ohio have great confidence and faith in his honesty, ability and integrity. The campaign for a bimetallic currency continues active, notwithstanding the fact that the other fellows say the silver coinage advocates are growing weaker iu number and voice. The demand for a bimetalic currency—gold and silver on an equal basis—will continue until it is victorious. At a recent Holiness Meeting held in Iowa the leaders said it was revealed to them that the world would round up and come to an end in ten days. The ten days are numbered with the past and no world's end is reached ; the Iowa people who were worried over the matter now declare, with reason, that the Holiness Meeting was a fake. There seems to be a drifting towards Col. Morrison, of Illinois, as the Democratic candidate for President. He would make a strong race—his Democracy is unquestioned, he is a pioneer in the cause of taritl' reform, and he has been an outspoken and avowed friend of a bimetallic currency. It would be out of the usual order to select the national ticket from adjoining States, but Matthews and Morrison, or Morrison and Matthews would be the ticket to sweep the West and South with. The tramp question grows more serious ns the years pass by, and legislation on the subject is sure to come. As it is the tramp is a burden and a danger to good society; persons and property are endangered by the professional tramp and the pro fessional tramp seems to be growing more numerous and more reckless, with less fear of the law and its punishments ; they demand food and raiment without exchanging labor for it and secure them e’en though robbery or murder is necessary to accom
plish it.
The Wool and Cotton Reporter was s, powerful advocate of McKinleyism and protection, and opposed the Wilson Tarifl'Reform bill with all its might and main. In a recent issue, however, it hedges on its former position and says that the Wilson bill has been of benefit to the country because it has brought with it: Better prices for domestic wool. Improved condition of woolen manufacturers in this country. An increase in the number of woolen mills. Steadier work, better wages and more persons employed in the industry. Cheaper and better clothing and blankets for the masses of the people. The opinion f Daniel Webster ought to be of value and worthy of consideration. In d -cussing the financial question, years ago, he said : “I am clearly of the opinion that neither Congress nor any other authority can legally demonetize either silver or gold. If one coin can be deturoneu as money then the other one can be, and thus the constitution could i-e disregarded yes, overthrown. The command to Congress is to coin money, not to destroy it; to create legal tender money, for the use of the people, and the grant of authority to create money cannot be construed to mean authority to destroy money."
Business keeps getting better, wages are being increased, more men are being furnished employment, and everything is going along swimmingly, thanks to the Democratic Congress for knocking out McKirleyism. The Atlanta Exposition promises Jto lea great and grand all'uir, surpassed only on this continent, possibly by the World's Fair at Chicago. Tim indications are that the attendance will be very large, especially from the Northern States. At a recent meeting of the County Commissioners, at Danville, Ills., they made an order instructing oilicers not to furnish any aid from the public funds, except for funeral expenses, to any person who owns or keeps a dog, or permits any dog cr dogs to stf.y about bis premises. Missouri is progressive in that the new woman is substantially recognized there. The Sheiifl’of Greene county died recently, and there were several applicants,for the apppointment to fill the vacancy. Among the applicants was Mrs. Stewan, widow of the deceased Sheritf, and Gov. Stone gave her the appointment, greatly to the disgust of her male competitors who thought she had no possible chance for success. The corn crop promises to be immense; experts say it will reach ,500,000.000 bushels. Want will not be known in the land—corn is king, and will prove a great benefactor to the human family in this year of grace and plenty. The crop is virtually made and unlike some other field crops, when once made it is reallysaved, as little injury comes to a matured corn crop, from weather conditionsof any sort. This immense corn crop: once en route to market, either in its original condition, or turned into pork, beef, or poultry, will boom business and bring about even better than the goed times we have been honcing and looking for. The Republican party is beginning to feel uneasy ; the time approaches when they will have to hold conventions and make platforms. The convention holding is easy enough, but the platform business worries them Tne protection idea is made a barren ideality by the workings of the new tariff law, ami they will have to work over and declare a new departure on the tariff, and this will prove very emharassing ; then again, they have been fighting shy on the silver ques tion, and they will be forced to name a financial policy. These troubles are supplemented by the fact that they have a Congress largely made up of small politicians, and the leaders fear that they can neither control
nor lead them.
The wool question is sized up by the Indianapolis News, an independent Republican newspaper, as fol lows: More American wool is being sold today than three years ago under the McKinley tarifl'. When the sales of foreign wool in the Boston market were only 440 000 pounds there were sold only 1 840 0.0 pounds of American wool. But when the foreign sales advanced to 3,884,000 pounds the sale of our own product reached the enormous total of 7,477,0<XI pounds This is a fulfillment of the prophecy of the tariff reformer. They have always argued that free wool would increase the demand for the home grown article and advance its price, wool being an exception to the general rule as to the effect of tariff on prices.

TtRED OF THE GRIND. A Couple Agree to \)ult L.lfe Together In a IloAton HoteL Boston, Aug. 36.—Louis Uatutnond and his bride Kathry, of Des Moines, la., came from New York Monday with the avowed intention of dying together by their own hands. Saturday afternoon their bodies were found in a room at the American house, death having resulted from morphine poisoning. A letter to the coroner signed by both says, among other things: "In reference to our reason for committing the flood, ve can only say that our money Is low and we are tired of the grind.' We have no friends who need be notified or who would respond If .notified. We have but one request to make, and that Is that we be not separated We are man and wife and wish to take our rest together If the sale of our belongings will suffice we should te glad to have you see that we escape tho pauper graveyard. No doubt some undertaker will take charge of us for the advertisement, and If u grass plat ran te purchased he will do the rest.” Hammond was about .15 years old. He was formerly in the perfumerybusiness at 06 Maiden lane, New York, the Arm being Hammond & Hrittuer. In New York he met and wooed Miss Kathry Sawyer. After his business partnership was dissolved m July he went on the road for G. M. Ditncr, of Des Moines. He lias a sister at St. Paul, la. Nothing Is knowu as to the woman’s antecedents. DRIVEN OUT BY REDS. Settlers Compelled to Leave Home and
Property.
Spokane, Wash., Aug. 28.—Trouble has again broken out between Kalispell Indians and settlers along the east sid-j of the Pend d’Orille river in Idaho over the disputed possession of what the Indians claim is their reservation, but which is in reality government land. A large delegation of white settlers came to this city Tuesday and state they were driven from their farms by Indians, who threatened them with death if they returned. The redskins forcibly took possession of the homes and property of the whites and told the latter that such were their instructions from Indian Agent Bubb. The settler.4 are preparing to go back armed and in force and drive the Indians out of the neighborhood. The Indians are ugly and the settlers determined and
serious.
BILL TOMEXCLUDE JAPANESE. Senator White, of California, Has Promised to Introduce Such a Measure. Los Anoeles, Cal, Aug. 26.—In an Interview Senator White said that Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald, of San Francisco, had asked him to introduce in congress a bill similar to the Chinese exclusion act which shall exclude Japanese. Senator White has promised to do so if Fitzgerald will furnish the data to prove that Japanese are seriously injuring American labor. He does not believe, however, that it will be as easy as it was to get the Chinese bill through. Pierce Fight In Itenturky. Hazard, Ky., Aug. 28.—As a result of a feud between the Duncan, Lowe and Benton families, a fierce fight took place Tuesday afternoon on the middle fork of the Kentucky river. During the battle two of the Duncans were killed, one of the Benton boys was fatally wounded, as was also one of the Lowes. THE MARKETS. New York. Aug. 28.
