Commissioner Bridenthal has just re-
turned FROM a trip through western
Kansas. He says there will be no
corn raised west of Great Bend, ex-
cept in northwest Kansas. where the
hot winds have not injured it. He
SAYS the hot winds are shifting in the
southwest and nothing green can stand
before them. Even the grass has not
grown sufficiently in many counties for
feed for stock, and cattlemen with
large herds are confronted with a
calamity that is serious and discour-
aging.

TOLEDO, o., July 10.-During the past

dealers and millers. They cover almost
every important wheat county in the
six principal winter wheat states,
which last year raised 230,O0O,0OO bush

the winter wheat crop. They now
promise about 10000, 900 bushels for

of the six states which will have as
large a crop as year ago.

1.-THE tone in business circles has perceptibly

better distribution OF goods to consumers. and
perhaps the countermanding of orders given

that difficulties viii not reappear. Soon large

THE POPE AND THE SCHOOLS.

To rHr EDITOR or THR suS-sirs The late decision of
the Pope In the school question has called considerable
comment as was naturally to be expected. Although
that decision nobody but the Catholics of tho
United States. yet some newspapers and Protestant

views the subject In manner which is undignined
and manii ests ignorance to an alarming extent

course, they are Increasing most In Protes-
tant ngland and Scotland. for the Endeavor
movement is distinctvely Protestant and
evangelical. as the term Is. Its foundation
| principle is unquestioning belief In the
| scheme OF salvation which is propounded
by orthodox Professionalism. for which
the solo authority is the Bible. Faith In
the inspiration OF the Scriptures and In
their infallibility is essential to It.
The Christian Endeavor Societies, with
their million and more OF members. arc
made up OF young people OF all the ortho-
dox Protestant Churches, bound together
by common belief in tho Divinity OF
CHRIST. He Is their Captain. and
under His leadership they feel that
they arc marching toward the Golden
City. BY the rules OF the organization
they are enlisted in the service Of the Lord,
and absolute obedience to His commands as
expressed in the Scriptures is required OF
every one Of them. They must surrender
their Wills to His will. in accordance with
the military principle. and follow Him as
their King and Leader. This service and
this allegiance they must render openly. SO
that oil tho world may know them for
soldiers Of the Lord.
Hence, when the Christian Endeavorers
met In New York a year ago. they were dis
tinguishable everywhere by reason OF the
badges they wore as indications Of their
enlistment. In the Stock Exchange they
sang their spiritual hymns. the sympa-
thetic brokers Joining in the choruses and
responding with other hymns. and the
more heartily because the visitors were
comely young women. In all parts Of the
town tho Christian Endeavorers attracted
respectful attention. They crowded the vast
Madison Square amphitheatre as 1t ls only
crowded at great political meetings or when
horse show or a circus Is there to
draw the multitude. The majority OF them
were bright young women. very many Of the
number from tho far West, and they all
seemed to get both religious and worldly
enjoyment from their visit to New York.
One OF the causes Of the rapid develop
ment OF the Endeavor movement is Its ap-
peal to the spirit of adventure in human
nature. In moving hither and thither from
year to year this army OF the Lord Is
stimulated by the excitement which comes
from visiting new and strange scenes.
Its march to Montreal this year will be
particularly interesting to the host, be-
cause to the mass OF our people Canada Is q
strange country. Going thither is going to
q foreign land. though naturally the Do
minionis Joined to us. materially it is chiefly
dependent on this country, and to us it Is
steadily giving up the most enterprising Of
its population.
The cementing Of the bonds Of Christian
fellowship. which will result from this
convention at Montreal. will be typical OF
the uniflcation OF the national sentiment Of
the two countries. which has yet to come,
but which. as the tendency OF events indl-
Gates. Is not far distant.

feet is now on its way to Saigon. and the
French have warned Siam that, In certain
contingencies. 1t will continue up tho river
to Bangkok. where the Lutin already is.
1t Is not unlikely that an American vessel
will also appear upon tho scene. Admiral
IRWIN at q recent date had the Marion of
Chinkiang, the Monocacy at Hankow, the
Alert at Chemulpo. and the Lancaster at
Yokohama. Should there be nothing ur-
gent In affairs on the Mekong, It may be
thought sufficient TO await the arrival OF

which are going to the Asiatic station by
way OF the Suez Canal. the former starting
within few days. 30 that she could easily
call at Bangkok.
But American interests in Siam are few,
and are not likely to suffer detriment. what
ever the outcome OF the present troubles.
The friendliness OF the King to the United
States is attested by his appeal to our Gov
ernment for Intervention In the present dis
pute. and France. OF course, would not
injure our few residents there or their prop
erty. England, however. is more directly
concerned, because every advance OF the
French brings them nearer to her own Bur-
mese possessions.
or the precise merits OF tho question be-
tween France and Siam at Its present stage
1t Is not easy to speak until the nature OF
TIE French ultimatum Is made known. But
the Siamese appear to have shown q con-
ciliatory spirit in the boundary dispute.
The area in controversy is the broad belt
of land lying east Of the Mekong, and be-
tween that river and the main mountain
chain OF AMMAN. The French accuse Siam
OF putting garrisons into this area. but 1t is
quite certain that the Siamcse have with
drawn from point after point. without
struggle. while such conflicts as have oc-
Cured seem to have been Of local ori-
gin rather than under tho orders OF
the King. This monarch, a man OF about
forty years. who has been on the throne
since the age Of fifteen. is, admitted to be
ruler Of high character. humane. anxious
for reforms. and eager to place Siam in the
advanced line OF modern Asiatic progress

has welcomed foreigners, and II he now
hesitates to give up large part Of what he
has always considered his domain. at the
menace OF a French fleet and IN Annamite
army, 1t is what might be expected.
One question now for Siam is. what Eng
land Is going to do. Without her aid. Siam
may fall into the hands Of France. as Bur-
nah fell into those OF England. herself.
Yet that aid might itself reduce her to the
condition Of British protectorate. The dis
puted boundary is a fair subject for arbi!ra-
tion. but there is no indication yet that
France will agree to settle 1t in that way.

Tho Income Tax Question.

How does Mr.. CLEVELAND stand affected
toward an income tax p asks our esteemed
contemporary. tho Richmond Dispatch.
H'on that question and on tho question Of
repeating the law taxing the circulating
notes OF State banks. he has preserved q
silence which would seem to indicate or at
least might indicate. that he has not yet
mado up his mind on those two interesting
and important projected measures"
s On the question Of repeating the tax on
State bank notes. Mr.. CLEvELAND's position
was determined for him ut the Chicago Con-
ventlon. 1t is true that the language OF the
platform Is recommendation, and not
demand, for the repeal of the tax on State
bank Issues, but good faith demands that
the recommendation be followed by the
Democrats in Congress. Mr.. CLEvELAND's
time to make objection, II objection he had.
to the repeal, is past. He accepted tho plat
form in accepting tho nomination; and it is
not to be supposed that he will now refuse
any mandate or even any Recommendation
given by the Democracy last June and con-
hrmed by the country In November.
We cannot understand why our Richmond
contemporary or anybody else should be In
doubt about Mr.. CLEvELAND's opinion in
regard to IN income tax. There should be
no more doubt that he Is opposed to an in
come tax than that he is opposed to Gov
ernment ownership and operation OF rail-
roads. telegraph lines. and telephones. The
graduated income tax was a part OF tho
Populist platform. and 1t may be truo that.
lbs the Dispatch says, the Popuiists carried
several States against Mr.. CLEVELAND last
year on that ISSUE" At oil events, 1t was
not and it is not Democratic issue. 1t is
Of the Populists. not Of the Democrats.
To wonder whether Mr.. CLEVELAND. elect
ped on platform which snid not q word
about an income tax. is not preparing to
tako up that refuse and leavlngs OF the Pop
ulists. is little less than insulting to him
and to common sense
