for business. All these efforts are
to be commended, but | am fearful
| they will be useless. When Cleye-
land attends church every Sabbath
and diligently searches for his one
dollar greenback to put into the
| contribution box, there is no hope
for silver and your Mint. But Sc
riously, | think the Silver Coinage
act is in danger Of being repealed
by the incoming Congress. Two
Senators who were prominently in
favor of the double standard last
Congress, are said to have been won
over to the Presidents views, and
how many others Of both houses
have changed front, cannot be
known until the question Of repeal
comes up.
OF course, your delegation aided
ny hdCkcS anu OluClS, Will SdIllCI
in force at Washington to lend their
aid to prevent any change in the
present law.
The report from Washington is,
that the President will recommend
in his message, that the coming of
the silver dollar be suspended that
the trade dollars be bought up and
coined into halves and quarters, the
former in large quantities, but that
their weight be made greater than
the present standard all this is
sop to the silver sdvocates.

NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-Fully $4,000 peo-
pie lined the shores of the river to-day
when the great explosion OF Flood Rock
He'll Gate, occurred, while scores of ex-
cursion steamers, their decks black with
people, awaited the shock. At pre-
clsely lib o'clock the earth trembled
and the bosom of the river was pierced
with a mighty upheaVal of rocks aud
timbers. Up, up, went the glittering
masses of water until It seemed as if they
would never stop. At a height OF two
hundred feet the uplifted waters paused
ia their fight. trembled al0ft and finally
fell back again TO the river. AT this mo-
ment, when the air for hundreds Of feet in
each direction was filled with white
masses Of sparkling water, the spectacle
was grand beyond expression. the great
body of white foam presenting the ap-
pearance OF fantastic iceberg lifted bod
lily upon a solid basis OF dark water.

CONDITION OF THE oRoPs.
Cotton's Average Falls LoWer-Georgia
Holding Her own.


WASHINGTON, oct. l0.-phe Depart
ment of Agriculture reports that the high
condition Of cotton in June and July was
not maintained in August and Septem-
Der. Severe storms aud excessive rains
have prevailed. Rust has destroyed the
foliage and worms have injured the fruit
worse than for several years. Another
fall In the average OF condition has oe-
Cured from 81 on Sept to IS. The
average in October of the census year
was 81 and the ultimate yield four-tenths
of bale. This year the greatest decline
is in the region of highest rate of yield,
reducing the relative production. The
departments estimate OF the increase OF
area since 1879 is 26 per cent. The re-
turns relate both TO condition and TO the
prospective yield per acre in hundredths
OF bale, The fgures must not be con-
sidered final, as the date Of a killing frost
and autumn weather may easily cause
a variation of 100000 bales.
THE CONDITION BY STATES.
The condition by States is as follows:
Virginia 7S, North Carolina II, South
Carolina TO- Georgia 81, Florida 81, Ala
bama 81, Mississippi 80, Louisiana II,
Texas 7S, Arkansas 20, Tennessee IA. The
expected yields with average future con-
ditiOns are: Virginia 100 of bale, North
Carolina %, South Carolina 30, Georgia 80,
Florida %, Alabama 80, Mississippi Al,
Louisiana AZ, Texas 3S, Arkansas AZ, Ten
nessee 36-average 36%-100 of a bale. 1t
indicates 100000 bales more than the
present crop, subject TO future meteorolo-
gical conditions.
The corn crop is made with very little
injury from frost, and with yield slight
ly above an average. The general average
of condition is the same as last month
95-a figure not attained in
October since 1879. The yield per acre
will be returned next month, but present
indications point TO fully 261z bushels per
acre throughout the country. Nebraska
stands highest. Only Wisconsin, Mime
sofa, Kansas, Virginia, North Carolina
and the Pacific coast fall below 30.
THE RETURNS FOR WHEAT.
The returns for wheat are on the basis
OF the yield per acre for the area har-
vested. The average is about 10L
bushels. The area harvested is not pre-
cisely determined, but will probably not
much exceed $4,000, 900 acres. The States
averaging TO 9 bushels are Virginia, the
Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi,
Tennessee, West Virginia and Kentucky
Missouri returns bushels and Ohio
81, Illinois 90, California 9.5,
Pennsylvania 10, Indiana 1913, Iowa ll.2,
Minnesota and Maryland l1.5, Wisconsin
1l.8, Texas reports 1916 with large area,
New York and Oregon 15.5, Michigan 20,
and Colorado, Montana, Utah, and w ash
ington u to % bushels.
The average Yield of oats will be nearly
% bushels per acre, insuring a crop In
excess of 600, 100000 bushels.
The rye average is l0.4 bushels, nearly
2 bushels short Of the yield OF 1884.
The average yield OF barley will be about
22 bushels per acre.
The condition Of potatoes has seriously
declined on account OF the prevalence OF
rot in New York and Michigan and else
where. The decline since Sept. was II

GLADSTONE ATTHE HELM.
THE LIBERALS UNITED BY AN
ARBITRATION COMMITTEE.
Equal Representation A Ocorded Each of

Equal Representation A ccOrded Each Of
the Leading Political Clubs-Mr.
Chamberlain Consents to Modify His
Reform Programme for the Present
Candidates. Not Handicapped by Tests
LONDON, Oct. 1O.-Ex-Premier Glad
stone has openly assumed direction OF
the Liberal campaign. He has already
managed to arrange the differences be-
tween LORD Harrington, the leader OF the
Wings, and Mr.. Chamberlain, the leader
Of the Radicals. The latter was making
such headway that Lord Harrington
became alarmed and threatened TO with
draw from active management of the cam
paign unless Mr.. Chamberlain was 80 far
curbed at least to be unable to commit the
Liberal party to his schemes of radical ro-
form. The ex-Premier summoned the
eX-President Of the Local Government
Board to Hawarden, and he went and
conferred with MIR. Gladstone. The result
of this meeting has been that Mr.. Cham ber-
lain has agreed to modify his programme
of reform, during the campaign at least,
aud as the evolution of "a plan for dealing
with the riValries of the different capdi-
dates. The Reform club, the Devoushire,
and other leading clubs have Joined in
the appointment OF a general arbitration
committee.
POWER OF THE COMMITTEE.
This body is to have party power deal
ing with all those cases wherein two or
more liberal candidates endeavor TO con-
test for the same constituency and the Ri
valry causes such divisions as are likely
to aid the chances of the conservative
candidates In the same territory. The
arbitration committee has already done a
good deal of work, and 1t is noticeable
that in every case in which IL has chosen
candidates, they have invariably been
moderate liberals. So far the action OF
the committee has been cOncurred In by
the defeated persons, and no signs OF re-
belliOn have been manifested in any quar-
ter. The committee is composed OF
twelve persons, three from each OF the
four great liberal clubs, National Liberal,
City Liberal, Reform and Devonshire, so
that all shades OF political opinion are
fairly represented in it's constitution and
judgment.
NO TESTS IMPOSED.
Mr.. Gladstone has advised the arbitra-
tiOn committee not TO impose any tests
upon the candidates, but to leave them as
open platform as possible. The wisdom
of this advice Is very apparent. The ques-
tion of female suffrage, for instance, has
taken quite strong hold in some constit-
uencies. In these both Liberal and Con-
serVative candidates are found committed
to a bestowal OF the franchise on women.
In other constituencies there is a strong
feeling in favor of triennial Parliaments.
Mr.. Gladstone sees no objection TO the
Liberal candidates pledging themselves
on all such questions II their rivals do it.
A canvass OF the country will und0ubted-
ly show that a sufficient number of can
didates are already pledged to the cause
OF female suffrage 20 raise that question
to one Of urgency in the next Parliament.
