Referring to the Hon. S. B. Elkins'
probable candidacy for Congress in the
Second district, the Washington cores.
pendent Of 4 Democratic organ Gays:
"He is known 10 be slippery in politics as
we'll as other matters" This correspond.
ent is fair type Of a class OF Washing.
ton "iakirs' who write for pay, and who
mistake utter recklessuess Of expression
for faithful service.
What "other matters are referred TO
in the libellous sentence quoted above ?
In his long, successful business career,
Mr.. EikinH has never been accused OF
doing anything dishonorable or "slip.
perry" He has always commanded the
respect of the business world, and has
honestly invested many thousands Of
dollars in the work OF aiding in the &c.
velopment Of the wonderful resources
OF West Virginia. As a gentleman Of
high character he is the peer OF any citi-
zen OF the State, and is esteemed MS such
by all who know him.
Many campaign ISLANDERS have been
published regarding Mr.. Elkins' politi.
cal methods, but not one OF them has
ever been shown to have q particle Of
foundation, and no Democratic paper
has ever been able to prove a single
charge against him. The I~STEIL1GES.
GER does not know that Mr.. Elkins will
be nominated for Congress. It does
know that he is not q candidate. How
ever, the action Of the Democratic press
in beginning, long before the campaign
opens, the work OF smirching his char.
acter, on the bare supposition that he
will be an opponent OF Mr.. Wilson, is
evidence that they realize his great
strength before the people. Wo cannot
believe that such a course toward an
honorable mar who may possibly be his
antagonist has the sanction of Mr..
Wilson.

Tho very decided advance in cereal
markets that has taken place lately plain.
ly confirms the reports OF material dam.
ago to crop prospects. Wheat has ad'
vanced 10 cents per bushel at Chicago In
the Last few days corn quito rs much
and oats almost as much. Lack OF rain
Ia tho cause Of this extensive damage,
and In some localities OF tho West the
drouth still continues and threatens even
greater damage. A letter received at
this Office from Miami county, Kansas,
yesterday, says that tho drouth In that
part OF tho State Is OF tho most serious
character. No rain OF consequence has
fallen since the middle Of June, and not
only crops but pasture fields are burned
up. Not only this, but the streams have
failed to such an extent Us to cause great
Inconvenience and suffering on many
farms. Other Kansas advices Of tho 9th
are to tho following effect:
"Thc corn crop Is ruined or killed outright by
the continued drought Ia all that territory tray
ctscd by tho Union Pacific Railway, from June
lion City westward 10 the west line OF the State,
anil from Lnrncd westward on the Atehisop, TO.
peka and saniR Fc. In these localities there
will not be 5 per cent. otacrop gathered. IN the
eastern portion OF the State the situation is not
quito 40 bad, M local showers have shveJ Ger.
tain spots from total destruction. This failure
OF tho corn crop Will cause cloScr collections
against MI farmers and that Will tend TO make
money matters clote during the colnlng winter
The Ohio Valley crops this year are a
full average Of those OF tho country ut
large, and here wheat 10 not much over
half n crop, oats not n third OF n crop,
and corn does not promise 10 be more
than two-thirds Of u crop. The only full
crop is hay, and it is an abundant yield.
Potatoes are about n half crop.
Corn is twenty cents higher in this
market than it was threo months ago,
Notwithstanding the large stock Of old
corn carried over from last year. It
is selling to-day at iitty-scven to sixty
cents, whereas it was 0 drug on the
market at t~hirty-fve and thirty.seven
cents in the spring.
The crop news from Europe, added to
our bad domestic news, will possibly
carry the markets still higher. There
is almost sure to be a temporary pan
icky feeling, during which prices will be
carried beyond reason and beyond a
point that can be sustained. There is
an abundance OF stuff in the country,
and the present bulge is l~arfiely specula'
tive.

he stand it? No. No living man can
stand such a strain long.
At the early age Of thirty-three years
he laid down his pen, gave IN his work
