REPEAL SEEMS SURE.
Reports Indicate a Large Vote for /
the Hnuse

Reports Indicate a Large Vote for 1t in
the House.
Those who have carefully estimated
the sentiment in the House are con.
vinced that the Wilson bill for the re-
peal of the Sherman silver law will
pass the House by from 30 to 80 ma
jority. The Senate managers are now
convinced that this will be the fact.
and although the silver Senators are
apparently in the majority, they are
seriously considering the effect that is
likely to be produced by any attempt
to defeat or greatly delay the repeal
bill in case it should pass the House,
as is now predicted.
Those who have been making esti.
mates on the probable vote in Con-
gress have not sufficiently taken into
consideration the effect of public senti-
ment. 1t is considered certain that any
merely obstructive tactics will not be
pursued in the present condition of the
public mind The leading members of
both houses are beginning to recognize
the serious and even dangerous condi-
ton of public affairs. While the silver
Senators maintain a bold front, it is
doubtful if they can count upon the
support they expected in a policy of
mere resistance to the repeal of silver
purchase. The indications all promise
early action in favor Of the SuSpen.
sion of the purchasing clause of the
Sherman law.

The st. Louis Journal advises young

plays and the way she plays it. If
she manifests prediction for
Strauss, she is frivolous; for Beethoven.
she is imparitl; for List, she is too
ambitious; for Verdi, she is sentiment
tai; for Offenbach, she is giddy: for
Gounod, she is lakadisical; for Cots
chalk, she is superficial; for Mozart,
she is prudish; for Flotow, she is COM

The girl who hammers away at
"Maiden's Prayer" Anvil Chorus"
and ''Silvery Waves" may be depended
upon as a good cook and healthful:
and if she includes the Battle Of

her repertory, you ought to know that
she has been religiously and strictly

disorder was expected. Excepting
slight disturbances in the Var, where
M. Clemenceau, the Radical leader, had

The controversy between England

in the Behring Sea is practically de-
cided in favor Of England. Five points
are decided against the United States

asserted exclusive jurisdiction in Beh-
ring Sea; denies that England ever
recognized such Jurisdiction asserts
that the Behring Sea is part of the
Pacific Ocean; admits that all the
rights Of Russia in the Behring Sea
passed to the United States limited by
the cession; and finally denies that the
United States has any rights to the
protection of property in seals fire.

United States. The United States and

birds become yiolet-red in color.

WANT THE AMERICAN MARKET.

1t will be remembered that at the inter-
national reciprocity convention recently
held at St. Paul the Canadian delegates
were unanimous in favor of reciprocal
trade relations between the Dominion
and the United States, though they gen.
orally admitted the difficulties in the way
of such an arrangement growing out of
the necessity of a recognition by the
Dominion of the commercial interests of
Great Britain. The speaker Of the On
tario legislature, in a recent interview,
said that tariff reform is all very we'll in
its place, but what the farmers of Canada
want above everything else is free access
to the American market, both for buying
sible measure of free trade with their
%neighbors. Before the present tariff law
of this country went into effect the pro.
ducts of the Canadian farm which found
a ready and profitable market in the
United States amounted in value to S12,.
000, 900, whereas the value of these pro-
ducts exported to Great Britain amounted
to only 100000. This shows why it is
that the Dominion farmers are anxious
for a resumption of reciprocity with the
United States on the most liberal terms,
regardless of British interests. Their
trade with this country four years ago
was eighteen times as great as with
Great Britain, with every assurance that
it would increase from year to year, but
since a tariff was put on their products
they lave almost lost the American mar
ket without having increased their trade
with Great Britain. No wonder that
these farmers are largely in favor of an
neXatiOn.

TO THE END.

The latest information is to the effect
that the world will come to an end in a
short time. This is tuff. We of course
must feel resigned, for we have done the
best we could, no doubt, to help continue
the business at the old stand. But any
how, we are constrained to ask, what is
the use of all this business? Why should
this gay and grand old world close out
it's affairs? Doesn't the thing pay, do
you suppose? Is the money market in
the way, and is it because that gold is
scarce the General Manager is about to
close out? If people will not pay rent
to the world, then of course it is proper
to end the business. But it strikes us
that the affair could worry along a little
while, at least until we can collect a few
delinquents' bills.
But maybe the story is a sensational
papers scoop. Maybe there is nc inten-
ton to close out soon. Maybe the man
ayers will simply stop to take stock"
Anyhow, if the story is true, all must
take their medicine, and if all do, then
that will end it.

SOON TO BE ALL RIGHT.

The good people of Durham must have
patience just a little while. Mr.. NICHE
informs US that the water company is
doing it's level best and that it proposes
to do right. The company is now ar
ranging for its filter. 1t has the founda-
ton in, and soon the other work will be
under way.
The reservoir will be attended to. A
cement bottom will be put in, which will
take the water off the mud bottom which
so long has been a serious complaint.
The people of Durham propose to do
the fair thing, but as they have been
imposed upon, they naturally kick. But
as the plant is to be made first. class, all
will willingly wait ample time to give the
company a chance. OF course the COM
pany has imposed upon the town for
years, and no ore can deny the fact, but
as they have at last repented and want to
do right we will accept the intention,
only suggesting that they hurry along
with decent service.

THE week ending June 10 was not so
favorable to crops and farm work as the
preceding week. The temperature was
slightly below the normal; sunshine de
"ficient; rainfall generally above the nor
NAL, with great excuses in some locali-
ties. A severe storm moving up the
coast on the 10th produced very heavy
rains and high winds in the counties
along the coast. Hail occurred on the
18th, 18th and 18th, the damage generally
being slight, but on 18th greatly injuring
all crops on a few farms in the west. The
frequent rains in the central and western
portions of the state greatly interfered
with harvesting of wheat and caused
some slight loss. Reports on tobacco
very encouraging plants growing off
nicely. Corn generally very good. Only
a few discouraging reports received. As
compared with last year all crops seem
to be in good condition

cago during the latter part Of August.
The federation represents the largest
organized force of working people in the
