The Straight Democracy of Ohio
have nominated for Governor,
William Allen, of Chillicoth, who
was laid up to dry many years
ago. He was in the United States
Senate thirty years ago. He was
formerly known as "Petticoat AL
len," from the fact of his having,
in 1910, either invented the story,
or was active in repeating it, of
Gen. Harrison's cowardice, and of
his taking refuge in petticoats
during the war of 1912. Allen
was once q famous stumper, and
had a tremendous pair of lungs.
On one occasion, when making a
speech near a railway track, they
tried to drown his voice with a
locomotive whistle; but after q
short contest Allen came off vic
torious. There are veay few peo-
pie but supposed he was dead long
ago-and for all that his running
will amount to, it is not material
whether the belief is corrected OIL
not.-White Cloud Chief.

A DOUGLAS COUNTY CROP OF
WHEAT.-We have asked our
farmers to give us facts and fig
ures in regard to the wheat crop.
Mr.. VIM. Meairs, trustee of Waka-
rusha township, has just finished
threshing his, and brings us the
following report:
He had twenty-four acres in
winter wheat, and he has threshed
from it, of pure, clean, plump
wheat, just $50 bushels, or thirty
five bushels to the acre.
This crop was raised on n piece
of bottom land, situated on the
south side of the Wakarusa, near
the Hutchinson bridge, on what is
known as the Winslow farm. It
is land which has been In cultiva.
ton, some of it, for eighteen years
The crop preceding the wheat
was oats, and yielded at the rate
of forty seven bushels to the acre.
The land was plowed, burrows
running north and south, about
six inches in depth. 1t was then
thoroughly narrowed, and the
wheat drilled in, the drill running
east and west. 1t was drilled in
with great care, FIVE and a half
days work being expended on it,
one hand driving ana another fol-
lowing the drill, To keep it clear
of weeds and stuff, and to see that
1t operated properly.
The seed was put in the first
week in September, and rain i'm
mediately following it was up tho
next week.
There were two varieties, the
May wheat and the Mediterranean
The May wheat was ready to cut
the laet day of June, and the Med
iterranean the 9Th day of July.
or the whole field, the May wheat
comprised six acres, and on this
part four and a half bushels of
seed were used. The six acres
yielded, 2l0 bushels, or 46S bushels
for one.
Me- Meairs has made q close es-
innate of the cost of raising the
wheat, estimating the value of the
land Mt $50 per acre, and interest
1t ten per cent He makes it, with
the wheat laid down in Lawrence,
Just SIS per acre. This, If he sells
ut 81 per bushel, is Il clear profit
of $l7 per acre. If he get 1925
per acre, as he probably could, the
wheat being very superior, it
would be $2I.25 per acre, or five
sixths Of the entire value eff the
land.
DIR. MeaiIs believes ia early
sowing, thorough tillage, and the
use % the driil, running east aud
west. He thinks every farmer
should SON q few acres OF wheat
every year, and be believes that
with careful cnltare. wheat is as
sure a crop IN Kansas ms Il is in
any OF the States further east.
He is disposing of his wheat
mainly for seed.
Lest thiB should be taken as an
average Douglas county crop. we
are bound On ali candOr to state
that nefghbor of Meairs, who
put in HE crops at the same time
that Meairs did his, met with al
most a total failure, portion of
his field not being worth cutting.

British Ideas of the Governmental Policy
in London and Washington.
LONDON, Nov. 17-5 A. NJ
The Times this morning. in leading editorial
says that II the virginius affair had occurred dur
Ing the ascendency OF the democratic party Cuba
would doubtless have been Immediately an
nexed. 1t draws q contrast between the
conduct OF the Spaniards in Cuba and
the leuient treatment by the American
government Of foreign blockade runners during the
rebellion II England is called upon to act in conse
quence OF the execution OF any her own Subjects
there is no reason why she should not acknow-
edge the independence of Cuba, especially If the
act would check such outrages.
1t recommends the adoption of that line OF policy
by the United States.
The Daily re eJraph contains on article similar
in tone to that OF the Times Both Journals concur
In the opinion that Spain is powerIess to enforce
Yeparation, and that the United States may possi-
bly, be compelled to intervene, even though re-
luctant to do SO.

THE WAR FEELING.

Public Interest In the War Crisis Un-
abated- ro-Nights Mass Meetfng-The
Juntata TO Sail To-day.
The almost universal topic Of the complications
with Spain was discussed yesterday throughout
the city, and was thoroughly canvassed wherever
men were congregated, especially at the club
houses and hotels. Public interest has not abated
one whit in relation to the matter, though, OF
course, the excited horror and indignation OF the
first few days OF the tragedy are subsiding. People
have begun to look at the matter resoutey
and in dignihed manner, and public
opinion il crystallzed into the idea that
this nation can accept nothing but the
amplest reparation at the hands of Spain. or
course, such an iniamy can never be atoned, never
compensated for, but among the elements oil re-
dress it Is demanded that the perpetrators OF the
atrocity shall be punished-by Spain II she has the
power TO execute an order In Cuba, and, II not,
that then our government should undertake their
apprehension and chastisement.
There were no formal meetings in reference to
the affair yesterday, but many informal consulta-
tons were held between Cuban leaders and Ameri-
can sympathizers. All the arrangements for the
mass meeting to be held at Steinway Hall tonight
are completed, AMI an immense and influential
demonstration will be the result. General Banks,
William NJ Evarts and Congressman s. ). Cox are
announced as speakers.

BIG BUT NOT HOPELESS JOB.
Reviewing the whole military situation, IL would
seem 70 be the concurrent opinion OF the military
authorities that, despite tho formidable naval
power OF Span our own coasts could be defended
and those OF Cuba seized and held az the cost OF
immediate and large appropriations by Congress-,
well directed and incessant activity In all de-
partments OF the star for o few weeks,
effective cooperation from own navy and
an uncertain loss OF life and property; but the
most significant fact or all Is that no intelligent
and weI informed army man is disposed to make
light OF the Spanish means OF resistance, or TO con-
cur with what seems TO be the popular opinion,
that the seizure and retention Of Cuba would be
trining thing to accomplish.
They put their views the ground that while
our own defensive power is high as to forbid an
attempt to invade our territory from any quarter,
our offensive power under the modern conditions
OF warfare wonld really need careful organization
and protracted enort to become effective and GER
tain in result, and that in the present case we
could only be sure OF an easy and speedy success
strength.
NAVAL PREPARATIONS.
The Navy Department has further ordered the
iron-clads Cannonicus, at Nahant and Wyandotte,
At League Island, to DO Immediately fitted for sea
All vessels now on their way under orders for
Cuba have been furnished with q new projectile
said to be the most effective yet known In naval
warfare and which will enable our wooden
vessels TO successfully attack the most formidable
OF iron-cads OF the Spanish navy IN the event Of
hostilities. The Ordnance Bureau OF the navy has
given orders to the force at Newport and
TO work as many hours as possible until otherwise
ordered.
THE BRITISH MINISTER.
1t Is rumored tonight that the British Minister
has, in obedience to telegram from his govern
ment, sent from New York by special despatch
bearer, an order to the Admiral commanding the
British fleet at Bermuda to concentrate In Cuban
waters with his flagship at Havana. The report
OF the execution OF British subjects and the disre-
gard Of the protest OF the British Consul at San
tiago de Cuba, it is said, has been confirmed.

There are rumors that q ministerial crisis is inn

A delegation from the Spanish Colonial Club
waited upon the Minister Of War to-day and asked

The Minister replied that he would be unable to

events In Cuba.
The Correspondence contradicts a current re-
