To Hold for Higher Prices.

WAsHINGToN, July 24.-Mr. II. w.
Aver, secretary to President Polk OF
the farmers alliance and manager in
this city of the reform press bureau,
which is also known as the alliance
press bureau. said this afternoon that
the work OF sending out circulars de-
signed to show the farmers OF the
country that it was to their advantage
to hold back the wheat crop. was ac-
lively proceeding in this city as we'll
as in St. Paul because OF its location in
the great wheat belt. Mr.. Aver said
that there have been 400 900 OF these
circulars sent out from Washington
and during the next few days an aver
age OF 100. 600 day will be mailed
until more than Il million OF the circu-
lars altogether are issued. The circu-
lars, he said, will also be published in
about two thousand weekly papers
with which the bureau is connected.
He remarked that he need not say
Of course that it was the circu-
lar which had brought about the re-
sun, Oub iio uOtlCcu III IL TcCSul
market report that as Il matter Of fact
the actual movement of wheat was ! 10
car loads less than had been estimated.
Mr.. Aver said the information that the
issue Of such circulation by alliance
men was in contemplation became pub
lie prematurely about two weeks ago.
when II circular in course OF prepare
ton was published in newspaper. A
final decision to issue the circular had
not at that time been made and many
leading alliance men were unaware Of
it. but it has since been determined
on, He explained that the executive
committee OF the alliance had not acted
on this matter and that by tho circu-
lar no order was given to alliance men
to hold back their crop, that being
contrary to the methods OF tho alli-
ance. What is done by this circular
is to give the farmers information as
TO facts in regard to the worlds wheat
crop. with the suggestion that wheat
some weeks later than the present
time would bring n higher price.

Wight Not Grant His Request.

WASHINGTON. July 24.-In view of
the possibility OF Il demand being made
by Governor Buchanan OF Tennessee
upon the president of the United States
for United States troops TO aid the
state militia in suppressing the miners
outbreak, officers OF the war depart
ment have been looking into the legal
aspect OF the case. The result Of the
inquiry upon this point while not con-
elusive, is sufficient to cast grave
doubts upon the successful issue OF
such demand by the governor. Sec
ton 4 OF the fourth article OF the con-
stitution provides that the president
may render necessary assistance with
troops upon the application OF the
legislature OF the state or the execu-
tive when the legislature cannot be
convened. This is understood not to
be the case at present in Tennessee.
Section 5. 299. revised statutes, makes
it the duty OF the president to take
such measures by the employment of
the militia or the land ami naval forces
OF the United States or of either,
or by other measures as he may deem
necessary for the suppression of do
nestle violence, obstruction OF the laws
OF the United States or OF the state
when tending to deprive the people of
the state of the privileges guaranteed
by the constitution OF tho United States
II is not clear in this case that the con-
stitutional prerogative is attacked and
this particular law was passed in 1871
TO meet an alleged indisposition OF the
southern state executives TO protect
individual voters. 1t has also been
uniformly held that the president has
large discretionary power in acting
upon applications for troops and must
first satisfy himself as to the legality
OF the demand rs well as OF the neces-
sity and equity OF the demand. The
second consideration makes it evident
that il Governor Buchanan applies for
the assistance OF United States troops
the result OF his application is by no
means certain,

RemarkabIe surgical On. ..

PEORIA. ILL.,. July 24.-Lew wis E.
Rietterman of this city, who ha as just
returned from Chicago, has in his pos
session the proof of one of the most
interesting cases known in surgical
history. He was one of the passen-
gers on the Inflated Niagara Falls ex-
cursion which went down to such ter
ribie destruction at Chatsworth. He
was in the last coach, leaning on his
hands in an open window when the
crash came. Nearly everybody in the
car was injured and several men were
killed outright. Rietterman's face was
badly cut and bruised and he was un-
conscious for several hours His face
was sewed up and healed rapidly.
Since then he has suffered constant
pains in the head, but local physicians
attributed 1t to the shock Of the wreck
and treated him accordingly.
Last November while blowing his
nose vigorously, he blew out Il wire
nail IL inches long, badly rustei. lie
and his friends were confident that his
trouble was ut an end when the nail
was dislodged. but he still suffered u
dull pain in his head. In June he
went to Chicago and was examined by
the staff surgeon ut Rush medical col
lege. The physician found a foreign
BODY in Rietterman' head at the inside
corner of the left eye, and in the pres
ence OF room full of surgeons cut the
patients face. Embedded in the head.
back OF the nose. was found an irregu-
lar piece OF oak u inches long. 1 inch
thick and inch wide. This fragment
OF the window sill had been carried in
his head for four years. The paint
had been absorbed by his blood The
case was reported to all the leading
doctors in Chicago and is pron ounced
one OF the most remarkable in history.

LONDON, July 22.-The Times sum-
marizes the crop prospects of the world
as follows: "In Russia there is a great
deficit; the peasantry are starving and
there is small hope for relief. In India
there is some anxiety. Madras Raj
pootana and the Punjab are the worst
Of sufferers. There is drought in Ben
gal and the need OF more rain is ur-
gent. Bombay alone promises n good
harvest. The American harvest will
be good, but with the failure OF Indian
and Russian supplies it is important
that the English shall not be short.
The prospect Of wheat is good. In the
chief wheat counties Essex, Norfolk
and Suffolk, the crop is above the av-
srage. The harvest will be late and
prices will be high. There is. there
fore. good outlook for the English
farmer to break the long series of dis
astrous years"

we have done it wise one? Take the

There Is the question of tin. We hear
n good deal about lin horns and the
like. We consume about six hundred
thousand tons OF tin. Now. the tin OF
commerce is about 80 per cent iron and
the question is to produce our own tin,
and so we are experimenting to that
end. Another is the question OF re-
ciprocity with nations-a special ar

The only advantage the ballot has
over the Gutocratic monarchy as a
means of government is that it vastly
increases the number of those who
must consent to act against the COM
mon sense Of all before the desire to do
SO can be expressed through legisla-
ton and given the compelling force of
law. A million men are entirely ca
pable of being ignorant foolish and
criminal in II given case, but it is
harder to unite them in the given
case than it is to join an autocrat and
his favorite in common purpose.
Thus the sole advantage of the ballot
is that it makes common sense more
secure against the operations of legis-
lation. implying the use of force.

Vanderbiits Will secure Control of
the Delaware a. Hudson.

New YORK. July 22.-It is more
than probable, says the Herald. that
before this week closes a most impor-
tant railroad deal will be brought TO u
close. When Dr. Seward Webb started
his Adirondack e. St. Lawrence road
many people believed the New York
Central was behind the enterprise and
that the intention was 10 freeze out the
Chateaugay road and so bring the Del
aware " Hudson canal company TO
terms. For the last three weeks DR..
Webb and Smith Nj. Weed have had
almost daily conferences in Plattsbury
and at Shelburne, and as Mr.. Weed
controlled three-iifths OF the Chateau
gay stock deal WAS soon arranged
which virtually gave Webb control of
the road ut u price which cannot vet
be learned. a provision Of the agree
ment was however that the Delaware
d Hudson, in which Weed is IL heavy
stakeholder, would come TO some
agreement.
Last week Mr.. Weed met Colonel
Cannon, President Oiipnant and other
large stockholders OF the road in New
York and explained to them that they
had better sell out tneir entire railroad
system to the Nanderbilts. Mr.. Weed
it is said, explained to the interested
persons that their coal property was
OF much greater value than the rail-
road system and that the New York
Central had already agreed to give
them fair tonnage rate on the coal
and good price for the stock OF the
road. Mr.. Weed SAID that he had given
DIR. Webb an option on the Chateau
gay road. which brought the Delaware
d Hudson most OF their Champlain d.
vision earnings.
The Delaware & Hudson people were
very angry at Mr.. Weed. but he told
them they could have the Chateaugay
road on the same terms as DR.. Webb
had offered him; that the road was in
the market, and that he would rather
see it controlled by the Delaware e.
HUDSON than by any other company,
but that to him it was plain that the
Central would parallel the road. and
that now was the time to get out.
Since that time Mr.. Oliphant has

Bishop Kahn Severely scores the In

WHEELING, W. Va. July 23.-The
1ntelligencer OF this city prints letter
from Rt. Rev. John Kahn, bishop and
n member OF the Roman Catholic board
for the distribution OF funds. In the
letter he says in regard to the pending
trouble in Indian affairs. that it is a
mistake that the controversy is between
the commissioner and the bureau. and
therefore does not necessarily touch
schools under Catholic control. He
says: 1.-The question at issue does not
touch vitality the interests OF our Cath
Ole Indian schools. From his very in
duction into Office, Mr.. Morgan has
shown his antiCatholic bigotry.
Whom did he appoint rs an inspector
Of Indian schools but Il Protestant min
lister. Rev. DR.. Dorchester. whom Arch
bishop Ryan OF Philadelp hia forced to
retract gross SANDER published by
Dorchester against himself (Ryan. J
What was Dorchesters first official act?
The removal of several Catholic teach
er5 because of their religion. As Il
member OF the board for the distribu-
ton of the funds collected in our coun-
try for the Indian mission the board
consists OF Arch bishop Ryan and my
sell. l am in Il position TO know that
Commissioner Morgan has dealt most
unjustly toward our Indian schools.
III the numbers educated in the
Catholic Indian schools are greater
Than In protestant schools why should
not the appropriations for their sup
port be also greater? The fact is that
Morgan, seeing the superior excellence
of Catholic Indian schools, would like
to secularize the whole system. which,
unfortunately Tor the poor Indians
the government has refused to en-
dorse.
1.-The chairman of the committee on
Indian affairs said the other day that
the reason OF the success OF the Jesuits
more than any other sect was that they
devoted their whole lives to the work
lie struck the key to the whole situa-
ton. Take IL protestant clergyman
ami send him to the west | don't care
how Jealous he may be, ne goes there
half devoting himself to this unusual
life. Today the Indians are advanced
100 per cent over any other civiliza-
ton, at least in Montana. Fifty years
ago the Jesults went among them and
TO-DAY you see the results. Among all
those tribes, commencing with the
Shoshones, the Arapahoes, the Gros-
ventres, the Blackfoot the Piegans,
the River Crows. the Loods. the As
sinaooines, the only ray of light | saw
was in the Flathead reservation in the
Jesuit mission schools.
In an open letter OF January 81,
1891, Bishop Stanley of jamestown.
\. d., says: 1.-The Indian missions of
my diocese have suffered beyond tell
ing through Morgan. and they are now
in almost hopeless condition. II the
administration continues to sustain the
bigotry of Morgan and Dorchester it
may regret its course when the Cath
Ole votes are heard from next fall a
year. ,"
The threat contained in the closing
paragraph, in view of the large Cath
oic support given the republican ticket
in 1888. may be taken us rather sig
nificant.

Iowa Again storm struck .

CHEROKEE, Ia, July 24.-Cherokee
county has again been visited by a
disastrous rain and wind stor N, only
equalled by the great flood OF June 30.
Railroad creek in this city attained a
height OF but two feet lower than last
month, when it wrought such havoc.
Much alarm was felt by the remaining
residents on the fiat and many Of them
deserted their homes.
Two residences which were moved
from their foundations by the former
flood were carried away into the Sioux
river and dashed to pieces on the White
street bridge.
Many timbers and ruins saved from
the former storm were swept into the
river and lodged against the bridge,
which went out ut an early hour this
morning.
Two other bridges in the city were
also carried away. Washouts on the
llllnois central between this city and

Nebraska Grain Inspection LAW.

LINCOLN, Neb., July 24.-The fol.
lowing letter has been issued, signed
by the secretaries of the state board Of
transportation:
The secretaries of the state board oil
transportation, who have in charge
the establishment of rules, grades, ETC.,
OF the new grain inspection law hav-
ing called n meeting OF the ia mers
and grain men OF the state and all
others interested in the practical oper.
ations OF the new law, to be held al
Lincoln, ut the office OF the board oil
transportation, Wednesday, July 30
the secretaries urge the attenda nee OF
all raisers and shippers OF grain who
who have practical knowledge in this
line, that general interchan &c Of
views may be had. and grades and
rules be established that will meet the
practical situation as it is in Nebraska
and secure the successful operation OF
the new law.
In establishing grades it is import
ant TO consider our location rs d state
to the various markets where wG must
compete with other grain producing
states. No two states produce the
same proportions or the same q uality
OF grain. For instance, Minnesota has
all wheat and no corn, and her whea,
Is all spring wheat OF peculiar quail
~, not duplicated in this state OF Kan
sas. Kansas raises both wheh at and
corn, but her wheat is all winter wheat
while Nebraska produces both spring
and winter wheat, and the indie ations
are in the near future, that the pro-
portions OF winter and spring wheat
will be nearly equal in this state
In tablishing our grades we cannot
therefore copy after the standard now
in force in any one particular market,
but must make our grades meet the
established grades OF those markets
where each particular product ID most
in demand.
Chicago is considered the best mar
ket for spring wheat rye. flax and
barley. while the ST. Louis market is
best for winter wheat corn and oats.
III we establish our grades with refer
ence to the Chicago standard altpgeth-
CT, we will be at Il disadvantage on
winter wheat, corn and oats, while If
we take the St Louis standard through
out we will be at disadvantage on
spring wheat rye, barley and flax.
1t is important therefore, that all
interested in the inspection law should
meet together and consult with refer
ence to these grades, so that there may
be mutual understanding and mu-
tual interest. Each raiser and shipper
of grain is hereby invited to meet US
on the above date and give us the ben
eiits OF his advice and cooperation.
