CHICAGO, August 3O.-A fair understanding of
the estimate which the Democratic leaders make of
the party strength IN Illinois illustrated m tho
state Convention of Grecnhackers and Anti Nlonop-
olsts held during the present week, when the
chairman Of the Democratic state Central Commit
tee submitted proposal to divide the Presidential
electors equally between Butler and Cleveland.
This does not accord well with tho boastful claims
making by Mr.. Harrison as to the party strength in
the State. 1t COMFORTS well, however, with the
free trade platform and tarin uttcranccs of the
Democratic candidate for Governor. In the face of
this promise of victory, however the wooing of the
Democrats failed and the Ant. Monopolists will
make a straiPht-Out fight on tho GOvernorship and
Presidency. The udcrous feature Of these over
lures was developed after the adjournment Of the
Anti Monopolists Mr.. Harrison, tho Democratic
candidate for Governor. visited the rooms of the
Democratic State Central Committee and made
noisy protest against fusion with either tho

the great suspension bridge between New

and thus two large cities connected in a
manner which was never dreamed of in
Revolutionary times. 1t is indeed the

be classed among the wonders of this
country. The suspension bridges at Mag

The Revolt.

We call attention to the ringing letter Of
Patrick Egan, president Of the Irish Ma
tional Land and Labor League, published
on the 4th page, in connection with the
following from Congressman Finerty, of
Chicago, one of the ablest and most coura-
geous of his race in this country.
A dispatch from Chicago dated Sept. u.
says:
Congressman Finerty of this city, in an
article in his .paper, The Citizen, this week
says, that without surrendering principle
that he has held, without accepting any
party collar, without abandoning the peo-
pie who elected him, on the ground of
American citizenship and American glory,
he declares his preference for Mr.. Blaine
He declares against Cleveland because he
has proved himself the enemy of the work.
ingman, the ally Of monopolists. the self
constituted judge of the constitutionality
of measures intended to benefit the people,
the barefaced dodger of the vital question
of protection to American industries, and
the champion of a foreign interest on this
continent. Mr.. Finerty will never be
found voting for any dubious American
who has the support of The Times, The
Telegraph, The Standard and The Neacs OF
London. He supports Mr.. Blaine because,
in declaring openly for protection against
Europe and free commerce with American
neighbors on and below our Southern
frontier, he advocates the true American
policy, and the only one by which this
country can not only remain CREATE free
and prosperous, but also by which she can
pread her influence on the American con-
tinents, and maintain the letter of that
Monroe doctrine which says to Europe
Hands off, - and of which Blaine is the
truest and most gifted living exponent.
With him at the head of the Nation, there
would be no fear the Panama Canal
should degenerate into European water
way.
Mr.. Finerty, further, supports Blaine
because of his vigorous foreign policy, a
policy that the tragical end Of President
Garfield curbed before it had attained de-
velopment. He also supports Blaine be-
cause England abhors him. and because
his election, although he is not firebrand
or promoter of unnecessary warfare,
would be slap in her face
Finally, Mr.. Finerty declares against
Grover Cleveland because his nomination
| by the Democrats was direct insult. and
so intended, to the backbone of the Demo
cratic party north of the Ohio and a chal-
lenge to che manhood and political courage
of every American. of whatever race, who
earns his livelihood by honest labor.

Sleepless people-and there are many Of
them in America-sho court the sun.
The very worst soporific is laudanum, and
the very best is sunshine. Therefore it is
plain that the poor sleepers should pass as
many hours of the day in the sunshine and
as few in the shade as possible. The in
furious effects of shade is very noticible in
plants growing in secluded places, and
ladies who are accustomed to carrying sun
shades: The invigorating powers of sun
light is infinite and he whose skin is
tawny seldom requires pill.

growth 1z6 million bushels during the EN-
suing harvest year.
France, although no official returns are
vet published, the London Miller of Sep

an approximate estimate Of the French
harvest. and, as a matter of fact. this
years yield of wheat is calculated 10y com
potent authorities at somewhere betweeA
1915 and 1913 millions hectolitres, or. in

figure is well above the average, and ii

is in fact owing to the exceptionally fine
weather throughout England and France
during the harvesting season. enabling the
farmers to secure their crops in better con-
dtiOn than is usually experienced and
placing supplies of home growth III the
market more promptly than in former years,
and these, competition with large imports
OF new crops from the United States, have
for the time oyerstocked the chief markets
IN Europe and dragged down values. This
depression will doubtless continue until
the foreign markets are relieved. Western
farmers are holding back their crops, which
ut present prices will not net them. on the
average, over IS or 20 cts. per bus, but it is
questionable whether the wiser plan is not
tor them to meet the market. The trans
portati0n companies have big interest in
this matter and should cheaper the rates

of the producers. their interests are mu-
tuai.
Whilst it is quite evident that all the
surplus wheat will be required within the

The Worlds Exposition.

The Superintendent of manufactures for
Virginia, at the Worlds Fair. at New Or
leans, n. V. Randolph, Esq, Richmond,
Va, has issued circular urging the i'm
portance of full representation of the

products, that we may find new customers,
and induce others to visit our State for the
purpose Of engaging in new industries.
Our natural resources in minerals and
woods will rival any State in the Union.
With the rev material at our doors, no
better field for manufacturing can be
found. ), Let us show to the world that we
have ayailed ourselves of this fact, and
make creditable display.
The commissioner is particularly anx-
ions that small manufactures should be
well represented, and to this end, if those
who will enter their exhibits in the State
Department, will furnish such instructions
or drawing showing how the exhibits are
to be arranged, they will be put into posi-
ton free of cost.
