\ CORRESPONDENT OF the Inter,
Ocean, writing from Grafton, Oak,
gives very discouraging crop report.
" whether his tale is warranted or not
later reports must decide. lie says /:
The wheat crop of Dakota is 80, ,0OO,-
600 bushels short. The figures are
large but not IN the least exaggerated.
The total production for the Territory
cannot, under the best possible con-
ditlons from now until harvest, which
will begin in the North by the 18th,
exceed 20 600, 600 bushels, and TO put it
that high is liberal estimate"
He attributes the falling off to dry
weather, and says much wheat was left
bare on the surface by the winds last
Spring, often requiring a second seeding.
Much standing grain was also wasted
by storms. He talks of famine all over
the Territory during the coming winter.
He also says fodder is scarce and that
Montana is trying to get rid of heI
cattle because they cannot be fed over
winter. The whole dispatch reads like
eXaggeration, however.

The Governors Accounting.

HARRISBURG, Pa, July 14.-Gov-
ernOr Beaver yesterday stated that
about :, 500. 600 had been expended in
relieving the JOhustOwn sufferers and
abaiing nuisauces in that vicinity.
There have been received by the Cow
ernor through various sources a relief
fund of nearly 81 1OO.O 900. OF this
amount about S6S0.000 has been used
in the Conemaugh Valley, and between
SO. 0OO in other portions OF the State
which sustained losses 10y the flood.
leaving IN the hands Of the Governor
about $3.50, 900 for distribution. This
fund is used exclusively in providing
food, shelter and clothing for the sui
fe-ers and in supplying them with
money to put them on their feet again.
In addition the Governor has expend
ed S225, 900 in abating nuisances in
Johnstown and vicinity the fund sup
piled to the latter purpose does not
come from any of the contributions.
but has been loaned TO the Governor
for the purpose of putting the various
flooded localities in a good sanitary
condition. Il was estimated at first
that this 81 0O0, 600 would be required
20 accomplish this result, but not much
more than a third OF this amount will
be needed TO meet the lia5ilaties incur>
red by this particular demand on The
State, out OF the Governors fund, made
up from contributions from all the
States in the Union.
There have been expanded on the
Conemaugh Valley 1905, 900. Ia ad-

Adding the foregoing amount to the

cies not credited to cities or towns.

Galyanizing the DcIunct Greenback
Party.

Another movement is on foot 20 gal
vaniZs the old GTeenback party. in a
state OF suspended animation. At the
bead OF the movement IS the Inevitable
George -. Jones. of New Y OTk, who OF
late has been running what is left OF
the party as a very private affair or his
own. The call for a National Green
back Convention, TO NEE; in Cincinnati
on September u, made by Mr.. Jones,
declares, among other things. "tor the
payment OF public debts according TO
the original contract under which they
were issued" and ''for the encourage
ment o. the American merchant marine
and home Industries"
As for the public debt, Mr.. Jones and
his little party need give themselves no
further concern. Under an existing
contract" all that remains of the pub
! lie debt, including the S346,OOO,OOO OF
greenbacks, is made redeemable In
coin. As the Greenback issue has been
settled, against the flat money herssy,
IL is probable that the astute Mr.. Jones
has small hope of reviving 1t and Il
may De assumed, therefore, that he will
not let ii occupy much of the attention
of his coming Cincinnati Convention.
But the real object of Mr.. Jones is to
give a boost to the steamship subsidy
job, for which the forces are already
organizing. This is what Mr.. Jones
meaEs by 1.-THE encouragement OF the
American merchant marine and home
INDUSTRIES With the return of a Res
publican House of Representatives the
hopes of the subsidity-mOngers and OF
the Washington lobby have been won
derfully revived. The object of the
subsidity-mongers is to get the Govern
ment TO make them a present OF lines
OF steamships on the preteDse of restor>
ing American commerce. The hope OF
the lobby, which was starved to the last
degree of inanitiOn during the four
years of Cleveland s administration, is
TO share in the plunder of the public
Treasury.
The Senate may, of course, be
counted at all times in favor Of the
steamship bounty joO. as well as of al
most every other scheme of public spoil
alton that may be hatchsd in the Wash
ingt0n lobby. There is, however, cons
siderable doubt of the friendly disposi-
sjtiOn OF the House, especially in view
Of the extremely precariOus Republican
majority. 1t has therefore been deemed
advisable to manufacture as much SEN
timent in favor OF the scheme as possible
between this time and the meeting OF
Congress. To this end all the usual
means Of operating upon public opinion
will be put in requsition. The little
Green back party of Mr.. Jones is to be
used as tug for towing the steamship
subsidy scheme into the Congressional
waters. Phild. Record.

Ir was stated on good authority at
Harrisburg, on Tuesday, that a cold
ness has arisen between Governor Bea-
yer and Adjutant General Hastings,
which, it is said, has been occasloned
by the alleged fact that the Adjutant
General mixed up the accounts during
his management at Johnstown so that
il is impossible for the Governor to give
a detailed statement of the expendi-
lures.
The money which the State contris
buted to sufferers Is being used exclu-
sively for sanitary purposes while the
contribution by the people is used in
the nature OF relief fund, The Adju-
tant General, it is said, in drawing on
the Governor for money so mixed the
accounts that it is impossible to end
out how much of the State money has
been expended or how much OF the peo-
pies fund has been used.

THERE are signs, says the New York
Times, that the demagogue at the head
OF the pension bureau is falling into
dIsfavoI with the President and the
Secretary of the Interior. They fud
that Tanner has undertaken to exhaust
the surplus in his own way without
permitting his superior officers or Con
gress TO deal with the subject. They
see his widely-advertised policy in full
force in the bureau, and Tanner him
self explaining it and clarifying his lib
erality in various parts of the country.
They know that in connection with the
enforcement of this policy some very
scandalous transactions have taken
place in the bureau, and now, when the
people are getting hold of the facts,
they perceive how great q burden Tan
ner may soon become.

IT was definitely announced on Tues
day that the great Salt Trust will be in
operation in October. 1t will be incor-
porated under the laws of New YORK
and its capital will amount to So, ,OOO,-
600. 1t is said that the combination is
due to the ruinous competition between
Michigan, Kansas and New York, out
now each manufacturing point will be
given its own district and the price Of
salt will be uniform all overthe country.
IL is expected that the price will go up
10 cents per barrel and the loss on the
long freight haul will be adjusted. No
stock will be put on the market till
October.

AFTER several weeks of delay il has
been announced that the distribution of
the JOhnstown relief fund by the State
Flood Relief Commission is to be begun
on Monday next. The Flood Commis-
sion, being manifestlv filed with a
spirit of profound veneratIon for the
red tape of oficialism, has been unable
to resist the temptation TO magnify its
own consequence by establishing a
great number of regulations which will
impede the transfer of the relief fund
to those to whom it belongs-the people
OF the COnemaugh Valley. Unless the
laggard steps of these pompous persons
shall in some way be quickened, it is
likely tina, the chill days of Fall will
have set 10 before the last payment shall
have dTibbled from their reluctant
bands. The money contributed by the
peOple-every dollar of it-should have
been promptly sent to Chairman James
McMillen and Secretary Cyrus Elder,
of the Johnstown Finance Committee,
TO be distributed among the sufferers by
that organization, which enjoys the
implicit confidence of the people of the
COnemaugh Valley.-Phila. Record.

The fact that a man ten years from
poverty has an income of $4,000, ,OOO-
and his two associates nearly as much

of an article of universal use, falls
strangely on the ears OF those who hear
it as they sit empty handed, while CHILD

eus the dangers suggested by the status.
What is to be the end Of this swift
piiing up of wealth When the agents
of a dozen men who have captured and
control an article OF prime necessity
meets the representatives of million
farmers from whom they have forced
$. 600 600 the year before, with no more
moral right than is behind the high
wayman who halts the traveller at his
Pistol's point, and insolently gives them
the measure of this years rapaciIy and
tells them-men who live in the sweat
OF their bTows and stand before God
and nature-that they must submit to
the infamy because they are helpless.
the first fruits of this system are gath

lips. When dozen men get together
in the morning and fix the price of d

standard but their arbitrary will and
no limit but their greed and daring

this free republic how much, in the

Mr. CHAUNCEY DEPEw, in a

clean enough after all to satisfy the Re>

Parallels Of Fact.

Under the law as enacted by Con-
gTess, Ell Paso smelteTs import Mexican
silver lead ores IN competition with the
ores of Montana and the other silver
producing States. The mine owners of
those States do not like the law, and
want the Administration 20 change it
by departmental ruling.
The law-makIng and law changing
power rests with Congress and not with
the Administration, every member of
which is bound by his oath to enforce
the laws as Congress has enacted them.
But the Administration is IN a polit-
ical strait. It's majority IN Congress is
very small and it is anxious to increase
it by the election OF Republicans excIu-
sively from the new Northwestern
States.
The mine-owners offer the coveted
sea,s To tue administration in return
for Treasury ruling which shall shut
out the Mexican ores and ruin the bus

benefit of the Montana men. That is

road carrying miners to their homes

train was running at its regular speed
when the miners, who were standing on
the rear platform, saw two freight cars
rushing down upon them. The cars
had become detached at some colIiery

them did, from tie windows and plat

GOOD AS A GOLD MINE.

Sacramento Grapes Sell at the Rate of
$3.50 a Ton, Net.
This has been a record breaking season
all round, and California is responsible for
much of the smashing.
Her horses have been breaking the turf
records, her October rains have exceeded in
quantity those of all previous years, and
her fruits have brought the highest prices
in the Eastern markets. The latest record
breaking, however, was done yesterday in
New York, when Sacramento-grown grapes
brought the highest prices yet recorded.
A consignment of Black Moroccos,
Tokays and Emperors from the vineyard
of R. D. Stephens, near Brighton, were
sold at auction by Gcodsell, and brought
(hold your breaths, you fault finding
farmers) at the rate OF $3.50 a ton
for the Black Moroccos, S420 for the
Emperors, and 1907 II for the Tokays !
And these were net returns! A telegram
to this effect was received last evening.
1t is true the consignment of each variety
was not large, but if they had amounted to
many tons the prices would have
varied very little, if any. Suppos-
ing a vineyard to yield six tons
OF grapes 10 tne acre (anu often the
yield is double that fgure), it would net
the producer, at the above rates, upwards
of $1,000 an acre. These prices cannot, of
course, be obtained at all periods of the
ffut-shipp:ng season, nor could they per-
haps if every vineyardist raised these
choice varieties and all shipped large guam
titles of their fruit to one Eastern city. But
the fact remains that California grape
growers can realize magnificent profits on
their industry by doing as Mr. Stephens
has done-plant varieties that are in de-
mand for table USE and adopt thorough
systems of irrigation.
