PRESIDENT CLEVELAND has sub
mitted his message to congress.
It is in some respects a bitter dis
appointment, in others a sweet
boon. On the silver question the
president boldly abandons his par
ty and platform, and drops into the
single gold standard camp bodily,
calling aloud for the unconditional
repeal of Sherman's innocent little
compromise, but suggesting no
remedy. Tariff reform is esteemed
of secondary Importance. The pa
per has literary worth, but no spe-
cifc remedial value. It is brief.

The break in the 100 million
dollar gold reserve in the United
States Treasury was the beginning
of the financial scare. It precipi-
tated the alarm which seized the
people and impelled them to make
runs on the banks and draw out
their money. 1t gave rise to ON
inous prophecies in the East which
spread fear and apprehension
throughout the West. The reserve
has now been restored, with nearly
a million dollars Of free gold to
spare and there is more coming.
By a very plain process Of logic
the restoration Of the gold reserve
should revive and stimulate conf
dence. It removes the original
cause of distrust and the effect
ought to be a speedy renewal Of
faith in the national credit and the
stability Of the country's finances.
The country is now waiting, breath
less. to see if it will or not. Per-
haps few will be disappointed if it
does not, however.

VIM. Weygint, who went to Chicago
a couple weeks ago as a representative
Of the farmers Of the southwestern
counties to look into the condition of the
Nebraska exhibit and to arrange for
putting in specimens from the new crop
has returned to Lincoln, and tomorrow
will 60 on to the Republican valley.
He has something to say aboutthe state
Of things at Jackson park that would
make the ears of the commissioner
general Jingle most uncomfortably
should he overhear them. Mr.. Weygint
will recommend that in case the COVER
nor puts a good a in Mr.. Garneau's
place a large quantity Of the, products
of the southwestern counties be gather
ed and displayed as attractively as pos
sible. If no change is made he states
emphaticalIy that he will not recommend
the expenditure of another dollar on the
exhibit. he thinks the state has been
disgraced and that it would be we'll to
be very quiet and inconspisuous during
the remainder Of the fair. 1t might be
well to give MIR. Weygint's story in his
own words: 81 went down to Chicago,
as l told you I would" said the hale
old farmer, "to see how the state show
was getting on. l stayed nine days and
came away ashamed of the state and
clean put out gy the way we have been
fooled and III moneys been spent. We
went to the Nebraska building every
morning and back there every afternoon
about 4 o'clock, and there wasn't any,
body there except the lady that takes
care of the register and a j%anitor OF two.
There was nobody to tell strangers any
thing and nobody to show any courtcsies
to the visitors. Us farmers, you know,
feel a little technical about that-we
want to be treated as we'll as anybody.
Well, we didn't see a man about the
place in all the nine days that we were
there that had anything to do with the
state or could tell any thing about it. l
don't know where Mobley or Garneau
were-If playing dominoes and having
a good time, [ guess Mr. Weygint
who is a machinist as well as a farmer
is enthusiastic over the fair as a whole.
He was particularly pleased with the
showing made by the United States in
machinery and manufactured products.
He considered the American machinery
finer than any made abroud, and was
astonished at the improvements made
since he left the shop some thirty years
ago. Every part Of the fair commanded
his admiration except the Nebraska ex-
hibit. Every time he mentioned that
1t was with an expression of disgust
and sorrow. He will use every ounce of
influence he can command in the Repub-
lican valley to secure the appointment
of a competent man to take the place of
Mr.. Garneau.

An Early Morning Excitement in the Town

Especial to the Press.l

Turner, Me-. August 12.-At an early
hour this morning Mr.. w. G. Chadbourne
was awakened by the sound of an ex-
plosion. He arose and oking out of
his window saw man come out of
French's hardware store short distance
away. 1t was evident that the man was
a burglar and Mr.. Chadbourne
got his gun. The man was
still standing in front of the store and
Mr.. Chadbourne sent charge of buck
shot at him. The fire was returned by
the burglar, who lost no time in getting
inside the store. In moment, however,
he reappeared with another man. They
hastily got into team which was in
waiting and drove rapidly away, ex-
changing compliments with Mr.. Chad
bourne in the shape of several more
thots from both sides. Mr. Chadbourne
was not hurt and the burglars apparent
ly escaped unharmed. An ex-
animation of the store showed
that the safe had been blown open. One
of the store windows was shattered by
the explosion. The burglars secured, it
is understood, about 5000.

GREAT DRlFTERs.
That Is All Yesterdays Race Showed of
the Cup Defenders Ability.

Newport, R. L., August 1.-THE wea-
ther today was very bad for the yacht
race for the Goelet cup, owing to the
light wind and fog. The course was SS
miles, to and around the Hen and Chick
ems ightship. leaving them on the port
hand in turning.
The start for sloops was signalled at
11.35. The Jubilee crossed 80 seconds
later The Vigilant was half minute
behind. The Colonia crossed at II :37 80
the nderim at II :38, leaving the Pilgrim
in difficulty with her big clubtopsail.
The schooners crossed as follows: Las
car, Ariel, Volunteer, Emerald, Marguer-
ite Mayfower, Constellation, Dagmar,
Alcara, and Royal. All the schooners
after the Marguerite were handicapped.
The Volunteer and Ariel sailed ahead of
the Lascar, and the Volunteer led the
fleet around the whole course after she
took the lead The rear schooners had
no chance from the start. nor did the
Pilgrim with the sloops. The Jubilee
gybed around the frs mark at 1851, and
the Vigilant and Colonia followed at
4:01 As and 4:05:50. 1t was fair drift to
the Hen and Chickens lightship. The
Vigilant lessened the Jubilee's lead. and
the Pilgrim was out of it. Kismet
smiled on the Vigilant just after round
ing the second mark. The Jubilee
crossed 5:00:50, and the Vigilant was 150
yards behind. 1t took her Pm. 50sec. to
reach the lightship. The Colonia round
ed at $1,000. half mile behind the Ju-
bilee. The Vigilant got the lead almost
Immediately, and the Colonia kept clos
ing up, and demonstrated her ability to
improve any luck that came her way.
The Colonia showed better handling and
guessing than either of the embryo cup
defenders. All three of the leading
sloops today proved themselves adopts at
drifting. The Pilgrim was not in it
from the start, and nobody bothered to
take her time. The Ariel was passed by
the Lascar. which was the second schoon-
er on the run in. The Volunteer increas-
cd her lead. The handsome Goelet tro-,
phv she won two years ago is almost cer-
tainly hers. Most of the other schoop-
ers left the three leaders, or were lost in
the fog on the run in to Brenuon's Reef
lightship.
Fog stopped the Race.
