While There In . GIut OF Wheat just Now,
Corn, Oats and Pork Are Higher.
Hon. Warren G. Sayre, of Wabash, was in

For the last month the Republican

grossly and maliciOusly miSrepresent-

Magazine Literature Coming 10 the
Rescue.

One of the most favorable signs of
the times is the prominence being Civ
en- to the cause of the industrial mil
lions by the magazines. Nearly two
years ago the Arena Magazine came
out editOrially for the Peoples cause.
Contrary to the advice and prophecy
OF its friends it has proved a wonder
full success. 1t has forced all the
leading reviews to a discussion of the
industrial problems, some of them ed
itOrally, others by contributors. We
are told by the editor Of the Arena.
Mr.. R. o. Flower, that it is being de-
yelOped that the rank and file
of our wealthy or well-tO-do people do
not SympathiZe with conditions
which necessarily grind down the
many that the few may live in luxury
and idleneSS, and that they only need
to be informed to take their stand
for right and justice. The Cosmopol-
itan, another of the high class maya
zines, edited by Mr.. James BriSben
Walker, has an editorial article in the
September number in which he takes
advanced ground on the industrial
problems. The tone and tenor of his
article can be Judged from the follow
ing extract:
with great fortunes are coming
upon the scene an unparalleled luxury
upon the one hand and poverty upon
the other that is scarcely surpassed in
the days when production did not
equal One-tenth the present output.
In the strife for wealth the lawmak-

Another Trick Exposed.

Republican tiXers are bending every
effort to get up some sort of clash
between the POpuliStS and Demo
Gratis, in order if possible to ALLEVIATE
the Democratic vote from our ticket.
Let everybody keep their wits about
them. There will be a deep seated
purpose to every plausible report that
is made by the opposition from now
on.
BADLY SCARED.
\ few days ago certain prominent
Republican speaker, who is stumping
Kansas for the old party, in speaking
to gentleman whom he supposed to
be Republican, in reply to what he
thought of the prospect in this state,
said: I'VE have got the poll OF the
state and by our own showing, Lew
cling has about 10000 majority. 1t
looks bad. We have got to do some
thing to counterfeit this if we can.
Our plan is to claim everything.
About two or three weeks before cleo
tiOn we expect to have men in vari-
Gus parts of the state to declare their
disgust with some particular parts of
the speeches made by the POpulist
fellows and declare their intention to
leave the party and go back to their
old party. Interviews have been ar
ranged with Republican papers in va
riOuS parts of the state, who will pub
fish this list Of names who have left
the Alliance and in this way try and
make break in their ranks all over
the state" When asked if they were
sure they could get their men, he re-
piled: "Oh yes, we have them already
selected: we arranged for them to 90
into that party last spring and they
can now leave it. as being diSSatiS-
fed" The eXpediency Of this policy
being questioned. he replied: why,
it is the only thing we have got left.
We are beaten and have got to do
something to try and save ourselves.
In the congressional districts. Hum

district, too. | think. and Baker in

source and there is no doubt of the
intention Of Republican managers
trying to cause stampede in this
way. People should be prepared and

That Talk at Washington Of
Considerable Significance.
If Blaine viii Not Take the Nomination

Special to the Leaf Chronlcle.l
NEW YORK, May ia special to
the Sun from Washington says the
"informal talk" by Platt, Quay and
other Republican,. leaders, at Wash
ington the other day, was OF consid-
erable significance and that the net
result of the meeting was that in
view of the encouraging reports as to
the number of elected anti-Harrison
delegates the work toward his de-
feat would be pushed forward.
The forces will rally around the
name of Sherman, who at present is
the strongest candidate. The con-
tingency of Blaine's final decision
will be kept constantly in mind, and
IL he does not make it impossible
himself he will be nominated. II he
does, then anti.Harrison managers
will throw all the votes they can con-
troll in aid of the movement to put the
name of John Sherman, of Ohio, at
the head of the ticket.

Sequel to an Express Robbery Committed
Years Ago.
OIL CITY, Pa, May 11.-Clyde P.
Hamilton, whose arrest was noted in
these dispatches last week for being i'm
plicated in several postoffice robberies
in the oil region, and gave his residence
as st. Louis, is believed to be the indi-
vidual who committed a bold express
robbery on the Allegheny Valley rail-
road ten or twelve yerrrs ago and made
his escape to South America.
At that time Hamilton McAuley or
George Brooks, the latter his alias, was
a station agent on the valley road. He
knew how to telegraph little, and one
night from a telegraph pole sent a
bogus dispatch to the express messenger
from the uperintendent, saying George
Brooks would relieve him at Templeton
and for the messenger to return to Oil
City and report to the route agent.
McAuley or Brooks then took the run
to Pittsburg, checked it in, and disap-
peared with about 50 200.
Arthur Clifford, plumber, reading a
description of Hamilton after his arrest
last week, called at the Franklin Jail
Monday with an officer and pointed out
McAuley among the other prisoners and
said he was willing to swear to the best
of his belief that the prisoner was the
express robber.

Harper and Mary E. Ireland, both well

who have been residents of Mishawaka
for nearly fifty years, were married,
and from that time to this the matter
has been kept a profound secret.
Mr.. Harper has made his home with
the Ireland family for forty-tve years,
but no one ever suspected the relation
ship that has existed between him and
Miss Ireland for the last quarter of a
century. The family all knew of the
marriage and the parents carried the
secret with them to the grave, Mrs. Ire
land dying only about two weeks ago at
the age of eighty-two. Since the &C.
mise of the parents Mr. and Mrs. Har-
per have been living together alone,
which accounts for the revelation of a
secret which under the circumstances
might never have been made known.

CROP REPORTS
From twenty-five States ON Cotton,
Corn and Wheat.

From twenty-five states ON Oottoh,
Corn and Wheat.
NEW YORK, May 1.-THE Times pre-
sents special dispatches from its CORE
spondents in twenty-five states in the
Union, giving careful and conserva-
tive summary Of the acreage, condi-
ton, prospects, and probable yield of
cotton, corn and wheat The states
from which the information comes are
the leading ones engaged in the grow
ing of the articles named.
Cotton.
The significant fact about the cotton
crop is the decrease in acreage. That
there is such decrease is reasonably
certain, though opinions differ as to
how great it is. Estimates run from 10
to 10 per cent. less in Louisiana to 80
to 80 per cent. less in Virginia Drouth
has seriously affected the crop in some
states, in Others it is reported to be in
excellent condition. The total yield
will be less than last year.
Corn.
Corn has suffered from the late spring
in the great corn-growing states, but
more particularly from continuous and
heavy rains. In some states the plowing
is not half done, while in others it has
not even been begun. Still, if good
weather should come at once, there
would be an average acreage and yield
Wheat.
Of the great wheat-growing states
South Dakota is the only one that pro-
vides large crop. In Minnesota three
weeks Of cold rain have made the pros
poets of the harvest far from fattering
Similar conditions have prevailed in
Wisconsin in less degree, and the out
look for large crop is not good.
Washington has enjoyed good
weather, and though North Dakota has
had wet spring, it is confident of a
good crop.
From Illinois, Kansas and Ohio the
reports are not encouraging, though
these states have suffered from the
spring rains.
