GEN. BUTLER FOR CONGRESS.
He Lives TO Avenge the Death OF His
Party.

TuTtys
A special dispatch from Boston to the
New York Times says:
There Is a.strong undercurrent of,opinion
that Gen. Butler will be felt In Bay State
politics this fall, but just where he Intends
to strike Is conundrum. A week ago 1t
was deemed assured that he would run for
Congress in the eighth (Lowell) district.
The newspapers freely discussed the mat
ter, but no word OF assent or dissent was
heard from the general. At last, however,
the reason for this silence is revealed by
stanch adherent OF the Lowell statesman.
II seems that some time In Suly q meeting
was held at Lowell Of several Of the more
prominent members OF the "People's
Party" with sprinkllng OF Butler Demo-
ocrats. The political situation was dis
cussed In detail, and the matter OF running
the general for Congress from the eighth
district was broached. The general senti-
ment favored this course, and 1t was de-
cided TO consult the wishes Of Butler. A
letter ito the general, then at Washington,
brought the response that he could not run
in the Lowell district, as he had promised
Congressman Allen, with whom he is
known TO be on warm terms OF friendship,
that he would not run against him.
In making this promise, however, he had
announced his intention Of becoming a
member OF the fiftieth Congress. This
ended the matter, so far as Aliens district
was concerned; but It was deemed best not
to contradict the rumors OF his candidacy
there, as they furnish convenient veil be-
hind which he and his adherents could
screen their movements In some other direc-
tion. This screening process has been highly
successful, but 1t is very probable that the
seventh district will be the chosen spot, as
Charles P. Thompson is safely shelved on
the superior court bench. There is more in
this movement than appears on the surface,
and its purpose is opposition to the admin
istration Of President Cleveland.

SENATOR sPooNER SPEAKS.
He Discusses the Democratic Misman-
agement in Congress.

Senator John G. Spooner, of Wisconsin,
city in regard to the Democratic manage
agement at the last session Of Congress, and
thus expresses himself:
"The Democrats started out with great
cry about not wanting any surplus In the
treasury. They have acted very queerly on
many Of the bills, and shown contrary
purpose. Indeed, in some bills they have
shown disposition to be niggards and in
others the contrary. could cite several
bills that came up for final action In the
House to prove my assertion"
"Do you think the action Of the Demo-
Gratis on the tariff question will finally split
themHn
"Yes, in the long run. The solid south
has several states that are coming out
rather strong for protection Georgia,
Louisiana, and Alabama, and several
others. The Democrats, though they have
big wrangles In Congress, usually when an
election comes off get together. They do
not disunite as easily as the Republicans.
The failure to pass or dispose of the tariff
question finally has created uneasiness
among the manufacturers and caused q de-
preston. Just as long as the tariff Issue
hangs fire In Congress that feeling of dis
trust and want Of confdance will prevail

more prosperous the tariff question should
be settled. Whenever Mr.. Morrison offers
bill the country becomes alarmed, busi-
ness is depressed, and the manufacturers
wait to see the result. That is the great
harm done by the free trade agitators In
| Congress.
"Are the Democrats solid for the Presl
| dent In 1888 ?"
"Oh, it is impossible to tell how they
are; they support him and they do not

REPORT oF TIE CROPS.
A Heavy Decline in the Condition OF
Corn-A Small Yield.

Corn-A Small Yield.
The spring wheat returns Of the depart
ment Of agriculture for Aug. / show an
Improvement in condition In Iowa, small
decline in Wisconsin and Nebraska, and
heavy reduction in Dakota. The causes Of
deterioration are drought and chinch bugs.
Heat has been excessive In many districts
that have produced q fair yield notwlth-
standing. The harvest is two weeks earlier
than usual, and the quality is unusually
good except in sections where heavy loss
from blight has occurred.
The general average OF condition Is re-
duced from S3.2 to SOL. At the end OF
harvest last year the average was SO. A
part Of the loss last season occurred after
Aug. l. AS the present harvest ia nearly
over, with improving meteorological condi-
tions, the final estimate cannot be much
further reduced. The present average Is
97 for Iowa, instead Of 30 last month. No
less than twenty-five counties, each produc-
ing from 200, 900 to 100000 bushels, report
condition at 100 or over. In Minnesota
there Is an increase from 7S TO 80. The
reduction in Wisconsin ia from IS to 72; In
Nebraska from SO TO 50, and In Dakota
from S5 to 62.
Winter wheat previously harvested is not
reported this month.
There has been heavyd ecline in the con-
ditlon Of corn since the 1st Of July. The
average, which was then 05, is reduced to
81. The heaviest decline is In Illinois, Wis
consin, and states west OF the Mississippi.
In the eastern and middle states condition
is well maintained. Itindicates a crop not
much exceeding twenty-five bushels per
acre, though future conditions may increase
or decrease the ultimate yield.
The average Of spring rye is SO. There
has been no material decline in oats, the
average being 81. Barley has maintained
Its condition, and nearly au average crop is
assured. The condition Of buckwheat aver

THE MARKETS.
The Principal Disturbing Elements in
Wall street Affairs.


Wall Street Affairs.
New York, Aug 10.-The stock market
recovered today from the tight money
scare, although II is believed that the read
justment Of loans will be a disturbing ele-
ment for some days to come. The prompt
reaction from the depression was, however,
principally due TO the renewed buying OF
the Vanderbilts, Louisville and Nashville,
Texas Pacific, Kansas and Texas, and some
other stock for London account. The con-
cluslon that money will command higher
rateein the fyture, and the trouble between
the Baltimore and Ohio and the Pennsyl-
vania railroads, caused q disposition TO sell
in the early trading, but the effect Of the
latter influence was shortlived, and the
market quickly recovered.
Texas Pacific was the feature OF the trad
ing, A rumorwas put out that the western
committee had dissolved, and also another
that union between that and the Olcott
people had been agreed upon, TO which was
added the revival OF story OF contest for
control, all of which helped the advance
and activity in the stock and bonds. After
some hesitancy the entire list advanced,
with Texas Pacific first and later New York
Central as leaders. A moderate business
was transacted until after noon, when a
dull and featureless market was had, fol
lowed In the last hour by moderate ad-
vance, and the market closed firm at about
the best prices Of the day.

TROUBLE AT AN INDIAN SCHOOL
The superintendent Lays It on tho
Kansas Local Democracy.


Kansas Local Democracy.
During the last few months the Indian
Office has received numerous complaints
against the management of the Haskell
Institute, for Indian children, at Lawrence,
Kan, charging, ameng other things, cruelty
to the children. Col. Grabowsky, the su-
perintendent, who is in the city on sick
leave, left Lawrence on the Sd instant,
leaving his son in charge. On receipt of
the news Of the superintendent's action
the Indian office ordered young Grabowsky
TO turn over the Office to William Junks,
the principal teacher. This the young man
refused TO do, whereupon Assistant Com
missioner Atkins detailed Mr.. G. A. Cor
man, OF the Indian 0illce, to go to Law
renee and investigate the whole matter.
In the meantime Clerk Limbert, Of the insti-
tuition, will have charge. Superintendent
Grabowsky, who was appointed from
Georgia, said to a reporter yesterday that
the whole trouble, prior to what has oc-
CURED since he left home, has grown out Of
the fact that Kansas man was not ap-
pointed to the place. "On this account
