END OF THE BIG RACE.
Martin Wins the SIX Days bicycle Tou

nanept.
NEW YORK, Oct. 24-The six davs'
bicycle race came to an end at 1918
O'Clock tonight. The two leaders, Mar
tin and Ashinger broke the record OF
l,405 miles held by Sehock. Martin
made ,466 miles and 8 Mbs; Ashinger,
Lii miles and l lap. Lamb, Schock
Albert and Bovst also come in Tor per-
Centage of the gate receipts.
At least 1900 people witnessed the
close. Lumsden, in an exhibition halt
mile, made it in | :223, beating the
worlds indoor record of 1:23 by Prince
at Omaha. Martin at the finish looked
better than at any time since Tuesday.
The admiration with which some of the
enthusiasts regarded the riders was
strikinglv illustrated about 81. NJ. The
cheering was continued and floral gifts
innumerable was showered upon the
fortunate halEdozen riders who, OF the
fourteen starters, remained in at the
finish. Some one in box arose, and
unwrapping s. bill from roll, threw
it at Martin. Others followed his ex-
ample. and 81, g and $ bills where
showered upon both Martin and Ashin-
ger. The trainers were kept busy for a
few minutes collecting the money
There will probably be a lively
quarrel later over the division OF
the booty. Danger mark was set at 300
miles, and each rider got storm of ap-
plause when he passed the mark, which
insured him share in the generous
gate receipts. Martin, the leader, went
over the line about midnight on Fri
dav.
The race was ended at 1915 o'clock
Just li2 hours from the start, with the
score as follows: Martin, ,i66 miles /
laps: As.inger, HI miles l lap; Lamb,
,362 miles; Shock. ,32S miles lap: Al

Here are some figures for the calamI-
ty howlers to wrestle with. They might
figure out from these how the tariff is
hurting "Our dear producers" The
Economist gives figures on other goods,
but some of them are of triiiing import
ance, or are so different in price the
country over that the figures are not SO
Significant. This my ha said with re-
spect to some of the figures quoted
above. But it should be remembered
that they are general averages taken
from many states.
The interesting point about these fig
ures is that they show a decrease in
price on cotton and woolen goods, on
which the tariff was increased, and on
iron and steel goods, on which, in many
instances. the tariff was reduced. The
facts as TO prices show that there has
been no increase on any highly-protect-
ed item in the tariff schedules except
pearl buttons. Here indeed is one item
over which the 'panicky" organs and
orators may find consolation and occa-
sion to grow lurid Pearl buttons are
higher. Even tin-plate goods, such as
tin pans and tin dippers and the tin pail, E,
tie tin pail of commerce, the tin pail
into which calamity orators shed SO
many tears last fall-the tin pail is
cheaper than ever. But pearl buttons
are higher
This is a sad announcement. But the
compensating fact remains that the toller
who wants pearl buttons on his good,
substantial shirt, can save enough on a
dollars worth of Mckinley sugar to buy
all the high-priced buttons he will need
in life time.

THE FARMS OF THE FUTURE.
Lands in the United States Will be Worth
500 an Acre.

500 an Acre.
The Country Gentleman of recent
date prints letter from Mr.: I. " ood
Davis on crops per capita, and the con-
clusion he draws is THAT good lands
anywhere in the United States will be
worth 500 an acre within FIVE years.
This ought to cheer the hearts of the
farmers.
Mr.. Davis asserts that there is an ex-
act ratio between population and pro-
duceion, but that this has not been made
manifest for the reason that we have
been cultivating too much land and
could at any time increase one product
at the expense of another without max
ing shortened supply OF the lessened
crop" But this is not to he so another
decade. Indeed, he tixesthe Limitation
in 1895. His reasoning is exhilaratlne
and reads better than one OF Senator
PETERS speeches:
We cannot reduce the number of cattle
other than mich COWS below $50 to 1000
people without making beef so valuable
that the farmers will rush into It's produc-
ton, and thus create shortage in some
other product; nor make the mich cows
lees than 80 to each 1000 of the population
without making a shortage IN some other
direction and putting up the price OF every
thing pertaining to the DAIRY. lpe bdlahce
must be preserved. For each 1000 units
added to the population we must add 230 to
235 milch cows and a given number OF
horses. and but for the surplus OF becVcs
now existing we should have to add fifty
to fifty-three cattle other than mich cows.
For every COW. steer or horse added we
must ada about six to seven acres to our
farms. and of this two and one-half to three
acres must be in pasture.
ON those figures Mr.. Davis, in 1891
believes that home consumption by 1879
will consume all the products of Amer.
can farms, and that the price of good
farm lands in the old Northwestern
States will be 500 an acre.

BRIBERY WAS COMMON
When Ignatius Donneily Was u Membe
GnuNrcSS

When Ignatius Donneily Was Member
OF Congress.
MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi, Oct. 2l.--In the
celebrated libel suit of lgnatius DON
nelly against the Pioneer Press, for
100000, the newspaper to-day not only
claimed that what it had printed was
true, but made a dozen other as
founding charges OF corruption,
duplicating Mr.. Donnelv, the
Central Pacific Railroad, and
many public men. 1t says when Mr..
Donnelly was a member of Congress he
demanded and received 5000 from
Richard Franchot, agent of the Central
favor of the road; that the plaintiff then
same amount from the officers of the
by means of a check payable
to the order of Mr.. Franchot.
When the plaintiff presented this
for Francbots endorsement the latter
at first refused, charging the plaintiff
with being swindler and legislative
pirate, but afterwards the check was
paid to plaintiff. The answer further
asserts that Mf. Donne2ly or his attor-
ney wrote an anonymous letter to Will
lam Springer, chairman of the House
committee on elections, offering to pay
to Mr.. Springer's wife 5000 TOR
the purpose of corruptly influencing
Mr. Springer in the pending contest be
tween the plaintiff and w. ID. Washburn
for seat in the House. Another instance
cited is that Mr. Donnelly demanded
$1,000 in cash and the same amount in
capital stock from the Hastings & Da-
kota Railroad Company for working for
a land grant to the road. The demand
was reused, but s. .500In stock was given
to the plaintiff, which he ac-
cepted while member of Con
gress, and that the plaintiff received
from the Memphis, Fl Paso 4
Pacific Railroad Company the sum OF
$500 eco in capital stock, and promls-
sorry note, or due bill, signed by J. c.
Fremont and ID. +. Epperson on behalf
of the company, for $50, go for his intiu-
ence in favor of measures affecting the
company favorably. The answer also
contains many specific charges of brib-
ing in the Minnesota legislature. Col.
w. :. King, eX-congressman from the
Third Minnesota District, was on the
stand all day and corroborated nearly
all the charges of the Pioneer Press
He was particularly positive about issu-
ing checks for s., 800 and 1900 from G,
p. Huntington, of the Central Pacific
Railway, to Mr. Donnelly

WHERE WILL HE GO y?
The Pope May Remove His Headquar-
teTs from Rome to Malta.


\ Rome dispatch saws the situation at
the Vatican is not less unsettled than a
week ago. The Pope is strongly in IA
vor of abandoning Rome, and thereby
calling the attention of the whole world
TO his annoyances against the Qulrlnal.
But he is not willing to take such mo-
mentous step without the consent of
his ecclesiastical advisers, and this he
has rs vet been unable to obtain. 1t Is
thought possible, however. that he may
decide TO act upon his own judgment, in
which case his counsel would be obliged
by religious duty as we'll as their per
sonal interests to obeV his viii. While
Vienna has been spoken OF as a possible
place of refuge for the papal court,
there is much better authority for the
statement that the pontitical seat will be
established at Malta, where he would
be even more independent than In
Rome, and where England has given
formal Acknowledgement OF the suprem-
acy of the Roman Church in religious
matters affecting the Catholics of that
place. In Vienna the Pope would be in
some degree under the influence OF the
Austro-IIungarian hierarchy, richly en-
dowed ecclesiastical bodies whom the
Pope already considers too inclined to
independence. if not to arrogance. If
the Pope goes, it will probably be to

X. {. Jenkins, one of the largest man
ufacturers of tin plates IN Wales, is re-
ported as having concluded to move
his works to this country. William
Williams, the Welsh ''tln-plate king,
is also contemplating the same step.
There is just one reason to keep them
from coming. 1t was stated by the
London Economist some time ago.
"The recent prOnouncement of popular
opinion in favor of the Democrats,
said the Economist, lis likely, then, TO
have the effect Of preventing any great
movement in the direction OF the es-
tablishment of new home manufac-
lures" Undoubtedly the Welsh manu-
facturers would have moved hlther be-
fore this had it not been for the It'll

With the exposure of the falslty

It's rapid growth in popular favor since

yearly sustained, yet thus far in 1891 an
increase is shown of 202, ,24l sheep. 1t
is claimed that this gain is owing to the
increased duty upon wool in the new
tariff, and that the increase in sheep
means .2l3, 446 pounds more wool 10
