IT is now more than two months since

IT is now more than two months since
rain has fallen in any appreciate guam
tity in northern, central or eastern In
diana. The corn is withered, pastures
are burned up, and the ground is so dry
and parched that it is out of the question
to pillow for wheat A similar condition
of affairs is reported in different sections
of Illinois. If drouth of equal severity
prevailed in Kansas it would be pro-
claimed all over the world under calam-
ity headlines. AS it is, comparatively
little has been said about it, and nobody
has become panic-stricken or excited. 1t
is only when Kansas does a great thing
or is in hard luck that the world knows
all about it, and national interest be-
comes stimulated in the affairs of par
ticular section. This sort of notoriety
has it's drawbacks as well as it's desira-
BILE features, but, on the whole. it is adj
vantageous rather than otherwise.-K.

THE proposition of the alliance to fur
nish seed wheat to their brethren is
commendable and especially noticeable
for the reason that, so far as we are
advised, it is the first time since the
date of their organization that any at
tempt has been made to carry out the
written and oft expressed principles OF
their order. Up to the present time
their energies and resources have been
devoted entirely to the formation of a
new political party, and to the acquisi-
ton of as many offices as possible.
Even now there may be some who are
skeptical enough to think that the seed
wheat scheme is only an ingenious de-
vice to capture a few votes in doubtful
western counties, and this impression
might be justified from the past politi-
cal record of the alliance. This idea is
further intensified when it is given out
that those who are not members of the
alliance, in order to share in the distri-
button, must make application to be-
come such. OF course it may look a
little like the offering of bride but we
do not care to scrutinize motives at this
time. The plan of furnishing seed to
those who are unable to buy it is good
one and, outside Of any politics that
may be connected Herewith, we hope it
will be entirely successful. In this con-
nection we might add that the railroads
are also to be commended for their
liberality in offering to transport, free
of charge, all seed wheat thus donated.

NEW YORK, Aug. 23-Madison Square
garden was filled with people last night
to witness the spnrring bouts between
George Dixon and Billy Plimmcr and sew.
eral other well known pusilists. After
three bouts between local pugilists, Con
Richardson knocked out Coughlin, the
Irish heavy weight. In sixty-fiye seconds,
and Jack Walcott, of Boston, defeated
jack Hall, of Australia, in twenty-five
seconds. Then Plimmer and Dixon were
introduced
Dixon went Mt his man with will, but
found Plimmcr as ready to give as he
took. He held his ground throughout the
first round in II IN terly manner and
worked up tho crowd to state of frenzy.
in the second round Plimmer smashed
Dixon when and where he pleased, and set
the house in au uproRr Dixon led some
vici ,us left hand swings, but did not ap-
pear able TO land. Every time Dixon led
IN the third round Plimmer went back at
him and gave blow for blow Plimmer
fought Dixon all over the ring in the
fourth and last round.
When the verdict of the referee was
announced, giving the decision to Plim-
mer, it seemed as though pandemonium
Ind broken loose, and the crowd grabbed
the victor, threw him on their shoulders
and carried him round the hali in triumph.

WELSH MINERS WEAKENING.
The Proposed Rout of Non-Union Work.
men Abandoned.


LONDON. Aug 23-The march of the
striking miners from the Rhondaa Valley
TO Ebbw Valley, Wales, proved complete
fizzle. The object of the strikers was to
liorce the miners in the Ebbw Valley dis
trict who are still at work to leave the
mines and join the strikers. About 1000
men were in line when the march began.
shortly after the start was made the more
talnt hearted, having in mind the preparn-
lions that the police and military had
made to repress any attempt to create
disorder, quietly fell out of the lines under
rover of the darkness and made their wny
back to their homes. Not many miles had
been traversed before there was more
rapid dwindling in the number of the
narchers, the men now openly deserving
their comrades
When those who had continued the
march had reached Merthyr Tydvil they
were met by strong force of police, who
announced that they would march the
rest of the distance with them. This fur.
ther dampened the ardur of the strikers,
and majority of them quietly wended
their way back to the place from which
they had started Only 200 OF the 1000
men who had started persisted in their de-
termination to proceed. The police did
not think it necessary to accompany this
small number, and consequently they were
allowed to go ahead without police es-
cort. 1t is evident they did not go far,
however, for they have not yet arrived ut
their alleged destination. The non-union
miners are still at their work
Many of the strikers in South Wales are
known to be willing to return to work
without the desired 90 per cent. advance
IN wages. The Monmouthshire strikers
also show tendency towards 1ynyerinty
In Glamorgan the men from four large
collieries in the Merthyr district have
voted by large majority in favor of go
ing back to work

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23-Yesterday there
was gathered within the walls of the sem
ate chamber larger attendance of sena-
tors on the floor and of spectators in the
galleries than has been seen for many a
day. The occasion was the announcement
that the senate was to be addressed by Mr.
voorhees,, chairman of the finance com
mittee, in support of the bill reported by
him discontinuing the purchase of silver
bullion. The speech was listened to from
beginning to end with close and eager at
tention. Both on the floor and in the gal
leries there was but one attempt made to
divert Mr.. Voorhees, from the current of
his speech, but he declined absolutely to
yield to any interruption. There was also
but one manifestation of approval from
the galleries, and that was promptly sup
pressed and its repetition forbidded by the
vice president. The speech was followed
by an argument from Mr.. Dubois in oppo-
sition to the bill as measure to establish
gold monometallism, and by one from Mr.
Ialmer in support of the bill. The last
hour or two of the days session passed in
discussion of Mr.. Cockrell's amendment
to the bill for the increase of national
bank circulation, but no action was taken
upon it.
III tHe silver ueDaJe was
yesterday transferred from the house to
the senate, but the audience in the house
was not entirely disappointed, although
MIR. breckenridge, of Kentucky, who was
expected to open tho debate, did not ap-
pear MIR. Mallory, of Florida, was the
nrst speaker against the unconditional re
peal OF the Sherman law Mr.. Hopkins,
OF Illinois, took the other side, incidentally
charging the Democrats with partisanship.
The new Populist from Nevada, Mr.. Now
lands, made good impression in his
maiden speech, which was a vigorous one
IN support of the free coinage of silver.
Mr.. Bynum, of Indiana, made short but
inoisiye argument in favor of the Wilson
bill. The surprise of the day was the
speech of Mr. Hepburn, of Iowa, who was
comptroller of the currency under the
Harrison administration, who emphatically
declared against the repeal Of the Sherman
law. That law, he contended, had been
beneficial in its effects, and it should not
now be repealed. Mr.. Jones, of Virginia,
closed the days debate with an argument
in favor of bimetallisin. At the evening
session other speeches pro and con We're
delivered.
