CLEVELAND AND FIELD.
How Chairman McCune of the Alliance
figures out the election.

figures out the election.
WASHINGTON, Aug. l7.-Dr. C. w
MeCune, chairman of the executive
board of the Farmers Alliance, who il
directing the campaign of that organi
zation as far as it is controlled, from
this city. has figured out to his own
satisfaction that whatever may be the
fate of Weaver, the Alliance candidate
for President, Field, their Vice resi-
dental candidate, can count his call
ing and election sure.
81 feel" said DR.. Mcclure to-day,
THAT Fields election is practically as
sured. He is bound to be elected if
the election of the President is thrown
into the House, which is very likely to
happen. The House would, Of course,
elect Mr.. Cleveland to the Presidency.
Then the Senate would have to select
the Vice-President from the three can
didates who had received the highest
number ofyotes at the polls.
The constitution prohibits the presi-
dent and vice-president both coming
from the same state and the House
having chosen Mr.. Cleveland for first,
Mr.. Reid would be rendered ineligible.
The Senate would therefore be com
PEELED to chose between Mr.. Stevenson
and Mr.. Reid, and there is little room
for doubt that they would select the
latter
The Peoples party managers claim
that at the very lowest calculation
they will have one hundred members
in the next House in addition to a
number of Republicans and Democrats
who will be pledged to Alliance or Peo-
pies party principles. They expect to
dictate the selection of the next speak
er and direct the policy Of the House.

The Dividend Of the Receivers soon A.
bout 20 be Declared.
The $4,000 members Of the Ameri-
can Fraternal Circle, some Of whom re-
side here, will shortly learn what per-
centage Of the amount paid in they
will receive from the defunct order.
A statement Of the pendent life fund
will be made by the receivers in about
a week. February 9th was made the
date for separation Of pendent life
from the general fund.
All money paid in before that time
goes into the general fund, and all
paid afterward is credited to the pen
dent life fund. As Ave assessments
have been made between the begin
ming Of the litigation in February and
the appointment Of the receivers III.
May, the sum Of $4,000 has been ac-
cumulated. AS this was paid ID sums
ranging from so cents to $50, and
averaging only about ~, there was
considerable work in going eyer the
10000 accounts and picking out all
monies properly belonging to that
fund.
The entire $4,000 accounts must also
be gone over again, to settle the status
Of the general fund. Then, when the
completed account Of this fund is
brought into court, the necessary order
for a distribution Of dividends win be
made. Over 100000 is included in
this fund. The probable percentage
Of the dividend cannot be ascertained
until all the accounts have been gone
over and the expenses of litigation en-
tered. As the total assets as repre-
'ented by both funds and different

Weekly weather-crop bulletin for the
Week Ending August Ii, 1892.
RAINFALL-Below normal in the
majority of counties; above normal in
the Kanawha Valley and northern Pan
Handle; in the remaining counties it
was badly distributed and some Sec
lions were entirely without rain. The
showers, although reviving vegetation
considerably, were not sufficient in
some localities for corn, pastures, buck
wheat, and tobacco. More rain need
ed to start fall grass; uplands are es-
pecially in need of rain; in SOME sec
tiops crops are almost famished; fire.
quent rains in Kanawha Valley have
greatly benefited corn and grass, and
splendid conditions exist for fall plow-
ing; frequent rains in the southern
counties retarded threshing and har-
yesting somewhat; drought has slight
ly injured buckwheat, corn, grass and
y.
tobacco.
TEMPERATURE--Gener about the
average and beneficial to corn, pas
lures, farm work and all agricultural
interests, although the heat during the
first half of the week was intense and
not coupled with frequent showers.
SUNsHINE-Considerable sunshine
during the past week which was bene-
fetal in drying wheat and oats not yet
in stack.
Misunderstanding continues and
yields well in quality and quantity.
Farmers busy preparing ground for
fall wheat in most localities and plow-
ing is progressing in others.
OATs-Nearly all taken care of in
most counties; is in good condition
generally and yielding well except in
few districts on account of injury by
grasshoppers; considerable oats still in
shock in northern Pan Handle.
CoRN-Generally good and prospects
are fine for plentiful crop. 1t is filing
out well considering the irregularity
of the season; it was blown down bad
liz in some localities and drought
slightly injured it on high lands.
ToBAoco-Doing finely although
somewhat retarted by drought.
A PoTAToEs-Crop good in most To-
calities; rotting in few places on bot
tom land; blaekbugs destroying vines,
feared; drought injured slight
ly.
HAY-Harvest about over and the
lightest for years; secured in most
counties
BUcKwHEAT-Pr Promises well all
though growth slightly retarded by |
drought.
FRUIT-Crop will be light especially
apples which are small and dropping
plentiful in few districts;
peaches fair crop.
SToCK-0f all kinds in good order
but bothered considerably by the horn
fly. Pastures slightly injured by
drought. Worms injnring grass, also
pine and locust timber. Grasshoppers
abundant and injuring corn and young
clover.
BERKELEY The few showers of the
past week have beea badly distribut-
ed; some sections of the county have
been entirely without rain.
The rainfall during the past week
amounts to 90 inch, but vegetation is
not suffering except in slate land; it is
becoming rather dryto pillow for fall

BRITISH AMERICAN COAL MINES
VIII MonopolIzs an Important Market If
tho Tariff Is Takon on.

VIII M~onopolIzs an Important Market II
tho Tariff is Taken of.
To the Editor orthe htetigcner.
sR:-The management of the Nam
aimo Coal district, makes the statement
that if it were not for the IS cents per
ton duty prescribed blythe United States
tariff on coal, they would close every
mine in the state OF Washington with
in a short period and completely mono
police the Pacific coast coal markets.
In view OF the fact that West Virginia
coal is now finding a ready market in
the northwest and New Mexico, this
statement from the above source is
very significant to West virginia. miners.
The Vancouver coal field consists OF
four large collieries in operation on the
island, the Nanaimo, the Wellington,
and East Wellington colleries. All are
in what is known as the NanaiIno Coal
District, which is estimated to have an
area OF 200 square miles.
The Union colliery, sixty miles to the
north, is the first to be opened in the
Connox coal district, which has been
estimated to have an area OF at least
300 square miles. The total output OF
the mine for the year 1901 vas 1,029,097
tons, an increase for the year OF 350,957
tons.
If the management of this vast coal
industry can find American working
men foolish enough to vote themselves
out OF employment by voting for free
trade advocates, then they will take n
Of the best coal markets in America,
which includes the northwest, the
Pacific Slope and New Mexico. With
the seventy-iive cents per ton tariff
taken off coal, English ships, as we'll
as those coming from German and
Belgian ports, can ballast with coal and
deliver their cargo at any portin Amer
lea, virtually closing the mines in this
country who are not able TO compete
with their conditions.
West Virginia is now taking the lead
in coal mining, and it behooves the
miners who find employment under her
hills to understand what they are doing
when voting men into power who are
the avowed enemies OF the present in
dustrial system.
If the tariff on coal will close every
mine in the state OF Washington accord
ing to the above managers assertions,
then there is no better argument in
favor OF continuing the tariff on coal, as
well as everything else that affects
American industry.
