Gill sat yesterday in the Prerogative
Court to listen TO the Hezekiah B. Smith
contested viii case. The case is on an
appeal from the decision of the jury in
the Burlington Circuit Court made in
October last. The claim that the verdict
is not TO be admitted is on the ground
that the deceased had not testaments ry

getting children and had no child.
Two young men from Vermont were
present, however, who claimed to be the
sons of the testator. The day was con-

that which is even more valuable than

These are pertinent questions, suggested
by the threatenings of the hour. Originally
the Chamber of Commerce had good num-

that they will rise upas one man and come

and with their means, their work and
moral support uphold the arms of the
twenty men who are working so nobly for
them. for you and for me. If our people
cannot contribute money let them give that

NOT A COMBINE.
THE WHEAT TRUST ONLY AN
UNOFFICIAL SUGGESTION.
If 1t We're Carried Out Generally 1t Would
Result in More Disaster than
Good-Donneily's Bug.

New YORK, July 24.-To-day reporter
intery viewed W. c. Crum, general manager of
the New York bureau of the national Farm
ers' Alliance and the Reform press asso-
citation, touching the so-called wheat
trust combine among the farmers.
He denied that any such combination had
be informed The suggestion was made, he
said. sometime ago in the Farmer that
the farmers would do well to
hold their wheat for better prices
in preference to allow it to
fall in the hands of INSCRIPTIONS specula-
tors. Upon this advice word was sent out
through the bureau of the reform press two
weeks ago advising the farmers to hold
their wheat. Several sub-Aliiances in Hi
nois met and passed resolutions TO this
effect which were published in the Alliance
papers, there being no effort to conceal the
fact whatever. An attempt to make it
appear as if some 'straitor in the camp
had revealed the matter before the Farmers
Alliance was ready to let the secret out is in
keeping with similar attempts to vest certain
ambitious leaders with an air of importance
far beyond their ability or worth.
Mr.. Crum said that the idea of issuing
simultaneously at Washington and at St
Paul million circulars to send to 400, 600
secretaries is part of well concerted plan
among certain Alliance officers to enhance
their importance in the estimation of the
farmers and create at the same time con-
sternatlon among the wheat specu-
lators for political effect. Editor
Crum, who is practical farmer
himself and is posted on the scheme as mar
rated says he does not believe intelligent
farmers will be caught with such chah.
He is confident that certain schemers
are trying to work the Farmers AL
lance for all it is worth for selfish
and political purposes. As to
a combination among the farmers. Mr.
Crum said, Il would be glad if the farm
ers could secure good prices, and especially
for wheat, the depreciation of values, re-
peated crop failures, high rates of interest,
etc., having discouraged the farmers for
several years. They deserve well of their
compatriots, and no one familiar with
their deprivations will begrudge them
all they ask. The report coming from ST.
Paul stating that Ignatius Donnelly was
opposed to the wheat trust, betrays the
demagoguery of the whole plot, and while
champiOning the cause of the Alliance
he is well known as a Knight of Labor
leader in the West. He is looking for the
presidential nomination in 1892. He hest
tates TO urge wheat combine which
would affect the prices of bread of
those whose suffrage he must
have. While favor any plan which will
contribute honestly to the farmers welfare,
l have doubts of the efficiency of the policy
of holding wheat, 1t takes money
to move as well as to buy wheat,
and if held too long and the worlds
crop turns out larger than anticipated.
crash is imminent, more disastrous than
dreamed of in the philosophy of the most
pronounced Alliance doctrine"
