Saving Crops.

The man that has never had day.
sickness has no just appreciation of the
blessings of health, and the man with
the best constitution in the world is a
pitiable object when troubled with the
toothache. At such a time he ignor-
es the fact that he is in perfect health
in every other respect, and rails at
providence and the world He is, in
fact utterly unreasonable, and all be-
cause he has pain in his jaw-bone or
thereabouts.
While the people of the United
States are excited over the financial
furry. an excitement that is absolute
ly uncalled for, they overlook the glo-
rious truth that the country is tenn
ing with the greatest production of
grain and fruits that has ever been
known. Better crops were never seen
before, and there is enough coming
from the ground to feed the world.
Yet with all this real wealth at
our disposal, we are worrying over cur
rency, spielmarks, tokens of wealth,
and persuading ourselves that we have
not enough of them to enable us to
live comfortably.
The trouble is all over the imagin-
AIRY, while the real is neglected.
There is no question about parity be-
tween wheat and flour, or peaches and
plums. They are offering themselves
to us in millions of acres of broad
fields and on billions of branc hes.
Yet the people are negleeting these,
and giving themselves up to petty
complaints about a circulating medi-
um that would be useless if there were
no food to be purchased with it.
The United States is self-sustaining.
We have wheat, vegetables, meat, iron,
wool, cotton and every other product
that is needed to make men strong
and healthy. We can trade one for
the other among ourselves just as. not
so many years ago, in Pittsburg pei
tries were accepted by the merchants,
without discount, for the necessaries
of life. We could get along without
any money at all, if it were necessary,
just as we did in the old times, and
we should find that we had everything
needful to make us prosperous and
happy.
So let us be thankful for the boun-
teous crops that will bring good times
no matter what may be done in the
money market, and leave congress to
repeal the Sherman act without per-
ourselves that our lives de-
pend upon that action. Let us for
get or financial toothache, and we
shall find that the farmers are keep
ing us in sound state of health.
Good times are forcing themselves up
on us on the great farms and orchards
Of the country, and we cannot stop
them by worrying over finances

Death of Mrs. Major Wilmer Mclean,
in whose house Gen. r. L. Lee
Surrendered.

Mrs. Virginia B. Mclean, widow
of Major Wilmer Mclean, aged Is,
died at the residence of her son in
law, H. E. Spillman. Mrs. Mclean
lived with her husband at Manassas
junction where the two battles of
Bull Run were fought on their plan
tation. They sold their home there
and located at Appomattox c. H.,
and it was in their parlor that Gen
erals Lee and Grant drew up and
signed the articles of surrender. The
family thus witnessed the greatest
opening event of the Great Civil
War in '61 and the greatest closing
event in '65. The lounge that stood
in the room where Generals Grant
and Lee held their interview and the
Secretary on which the articles of
surrender were written and signed
remain in possession of the family
and are now on exhibition in the
West Virginia State building at the
Worlds Fair.

Sixty Million Bushels of Wheat-A
Bushel for Every Inhabitant of the
United States. The Kansas Crop of
-A1

Never in the history of Kansas has
that state had such bountiful crops as
this year. The farmers cannot get
enough hands to harvest the great
crop, and the Santa Fe Railroad has
made special rates from Kansas City
and other Missouri River towns, to
induce harvest hands to go into the
state. The wheat crop of the state
will be from sixty to siXty-fiye million
bushels, and the quality is high.
The grass crop is made, and is a very
large one; the early potatoes, rye,
barley and oats crops are made, and
are all large. The weather has been
propitious for corn, and it is the
cleanest, best looking corn to be found
in the country today. Cheap rates
will be made from Chicago, St.
Louis and all points on the Santa Fe
east of the Missouri River to all Kan
sas points, on August 80 and Septem-
Der q, and these excursions will give
a chance for eastern farmers to see
what the great Sunhower State can do.

Costly laundering.

Under the pension disability law
of 1890 the interior department de-
cided that claims under it should be
rated the same as those of service
origin. That placed on the same
basis the man disabled on the battle
field with the retired soldier who
developed a case of chronic diar-
rhga 20 years after the last gun was
fired at Appomattox. Under this
decision General Raum, putting
aside the claims of service origin,
hurried up the work under the law
of 1890, and added $4,000 persons
under that law to the roll of invalid
pensioners. But in January last,
under the Harrison administration
Secretary Noble, of the interior de.
partment, issued an order based on
a legal decision, that pensions
should only be awarded TO those
claimants who established perma-
nent disability that incapacitated
them from the performance of man
ual labor necessary to their sup
port.
This is precisely "the Hoke Smith
decision" about which there has
been so much demagogism expended.
1t merely reaffirmed the decision of
Secretary Noble.
In reluctant compliance with this
order of Secretary Noble, Commits
sioner Raum reduced his rating of
invalid pensioners under the law Of
1890 to 80 per cent 1t is therefore
plain that had the order of January,
1898, been issued in October, 1890,
General Raum would have issued
pensions to. 10000 claimants in
stead of $4,000 invalid claimants
under the new law, difference of
100000 pensioners, who are now re-
ceiving an average Of $120 year,
aggregating an annual draft on the
treasury of $24, 100000.
But taking the first payments due
from the dates of filing applications
to the dates when certificates were
issued, which General Raum reports
at 1913, 100000, and adding the $40
month which 100000 improperly
admitted pensioners have each drawn
for an average of Is months up to
June 80, 1898, aggregating $3.50,
600, and we have a loss of S59,7S0,-
600 as the cost of this error in con
STRUNG the law.
Costly laundering, every one will
say. The sin of the pension bu-
reau under the Cleveland admins
tfation lies in an attempt to enforce
the law not only as it has been laid |
down by the legal advisers of the
bureau, but as it was originally |
construed by Secretary Noble and |
the legal advisers of the Harrison
administration.

ton was originally for partisan

McKiniey's UnpOpularity.

Ohio hepuDllcans profess Del1er IN
the assertion that Mckinley will be
reelected Governor and yet they admit
that the contest win be a desperate
one. A leading member of the party
giving his views of the contest says:
Gone thing that makes the contest of
peculiar interest is that it involves the
political fortunes and destiny of Will
liam Mckinley He has been long in
public life and is distinguished
throughout the country. and should
he be reelected by good majority he
will set his face toward the white
house and many Republicans in all the
states will begin to look to him as the
standard bearer of the historic party
i'll the next national contest Should
he be defeated he can hardly hope for
any further career, unless it be as a
member of Congress. In writing
without bias | am bound to say that
he is not so popular in Ohio as he was
two years ago. The politicians
of the party throughout the State,
who were then full of enthusiasm for
him, are now Indifferent. TO him or
positively hostile in their feeling to-
ward him, and there is no large ele-
ment of the party that has enough en-
thusiasm for him to get up party
cheer. If he We're running upon his
personal strength his chance of cleo
ton would be small. The workers.
the organizers of the party, would not
exert themselves for him. He has
not been friendly toward them. He
is not appreciatiye of any service that
is rendered him by them. There is
no bond of sympathy between him and
them. This is true without reference
to any factional feeling that may ex-
list. The feeling / have mentioned
prevails among the workers of the
party, who care little for factions; the
leaders and managers Of the party in
the country counties, who regard the
party more than any faction At the
same time there is some factional feel
ing against the Governor. The Fora
ker men, who are many, supported
him with great zeal two years ago.
They were greatly embittered against
him by his subsequent active and eff
fective support of Sherman in the sem
atorial contest. They think, and |
correctly, | suppose, that had he done |
so Foraker would have been elected to
the Senate. They feel very resentful |
toward him. Senator Sherman owed |
his success to the Harrison and Nc |
kinley administrations. Harrison is |
not now in a position to help McKin-
ley and Senator Sherman will not be
able to do as much for the Governor
as the Governor did for him. The
young, active, aspiring and hard-work- I
ing element of the party does not fol-
low the great old Senator with zeal
these days. But, Notwithstanding
Mckinley,s personal weakness in the
State, the indications all are that he
will be elected.
The reason for the belief expressed
in the last sentence is founded entire
" on the business depression. In
other words the writer believes the
stringency Of the times will work the
salvation of Mckinley. This conclu-
sion, it is only necessary to say, is ar
rived at upon the supposition that the
voters are fools and not able to cor
rectly diagnose the cause of the troub-
