THE COTTON CROP.
Another Decline in Condition, Bringing 1t
Down to 20 Per Cent.

Another Decline in Condition, Bringing 1t
Down to 20 Per Cent.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-The October
report of the statistical division of the
department of agriculture makes cot
ton show decline of 81 points from
the September condition, which was
TS.4, as against 707 for this month.
The condition of cotton for the
month of June was $50, declining
to ST. in July and SOL in Au-
gust, losing from that time to the
present a.7 points The retrogressive
tendency has been persistent during
the season. The report from the most
fertile parts of the country are far from
hopeful. The Texas crop of 1892 and
1898 was about 81 per cent of the en-
tire crop of the country, and the Octo-
be report of this department of 1892
showed a condition of II per cent, as
against 65 per cent for 1898.

Home Rule Hung Up.

DUBLIN, Oct. 1O.-A great meeting of
Parnellites was held in the rotunda to
discuss the home rule situation. John
Redmond said that the aspect of the
home rule question had undergone a
fatal change. The political situation,
which they met to consider, was one of
deadly peril to Irishmen. The home
rule question had been hung up by the
liberal party in parliament and the in
dependent nationa1ists who consented
to submit to the rejection of the home
rule bill by the house of lords were

A Diplomatic Problem.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-In the case of
the minister to Italy the President has
a difficult point before him for decision.
William Potter of Pennsylvania, the
present representative of the United
States at Rome, was appointed by Pres
ident Harrison last November in place
of Governor Porter, who resigned to
take part in the campaign. The Italian
government has since raised It's legation
in the United States to the rank of All
embassy and has recommissioned Baron
Fava as ambassador. MIR. Potter mean
time remains minister and envoy si,ap-
ly. International courtesy requires
that the United States should recipro-
cate ky sending an ambassador to Italy.
The point Mr.. Cleveland has to de-
termine is whether he will send in Mr..
Potter's name to the senate as ambas-
sador and thus in manner reappoint
one of Mr.. Harrison's selection, or
whether he will remove Mr.. Potter earl
ier, perhaps, than he intended by send
ing another persons name with the
rank of ambassador attached.

Anxious to see as much as possible
the first day, L passed through many
buildings, giving only eursory examin-
alton to exhibits that require hours of
close attention and careful study
These expect to revisit.
L passed through the Art Building
and was charmed by the paintings and
statuary collected here from different
countries of the world. After q brief
visit TO many Of the State buildings,
the Woman's building, Anthropologieal
building, Electricity building, and Ma
chinery Hall, I called halt for some
hours in the Manufactures and Liberal
Arts building. It is 700 attractive to
be passed. Its dimensions are wonder
ful, its display Of the worlds products
Is bewildering, but at the same time fac
mating beyond the power of language
to describe. No other building in the
world equals it in size; tits the largest
roof building that was ever erected and
the architectural skill displayed in it's
construction, is the worlds wonder. It's
ground area is nearly thirtY-one acres,
and it contains floor and gallery space
of forty-four acres.
The visitor stands outside and views
the exterior Of the building with Won
der and admiration, but once inside,
the view is to him a revelation.
"Along the street, for such they may
we'll be called, are gilded domes and
glitterlng lninarets, mosques, palaces,
kiosks, and brilliant payiiions, NINA
ture, indeed. yet producing the effect of
q beautiful city inclosed by marble walls
and rooted in with dome of glass. AT
a hight of one hundred and forty feet
above the floor are suspended five enor-
NOUS chandeliers, the largest ever con-
| ceived by man, whose thousands of arc
lights glow with coruscitaions of cold,
clear, white light, almost equal to that
| of the sun itself" In this building are
found the educational exhibits and
thousands Of others that demand study
invite myself to come again, and now
pass out to the lake shore to enjoy the
cooling breezes that fan the beech from
the limpid waters of Lake Michigan. A
scene of grandeur and beauty is here
presented. CARROLL.

THE EXTRA SESSION.
Ode to Columbia.

Oh, fair Columbia, within thy marble halls,
Our servants hasten-it is thee that calls
In extra council, intent, at our command,
To heal the wounds prevailing O. 'er the land.
Out of unrest, predominant of late,
By wiser laws q perfect rest create.
Must never yield when Justices scales display
'Twixt right and wrong, the right does far out
weigh.
perfect, calm determination show,
And scorn in anger to strike deadly blow.
Intellectual power, the forum should display,
By reasons strength delusion fades away.
That lofty courage, God-given might to man,
No place in rear, it always leads the van.
Some would, 1 fear, beneath hideous thrall
Blow heavenly trumpets in satanic call.
Others, still, mid avarice wealth of darts
Meier ben the knee to money 8 hellish arts.
The demagogue and mammon's fierce brigands
Will crowd the aisles and boldly show their
hands.
Some statesmen may by brilliant fetes attain
The highest point upon the steps of fame,
Others will go down oblivion deepest shade;
Some through the mire OF disappointment wade.
Arkansas, oh proudly play thy part
The Commonwealth SO precious to my heart.
Vouchsafe, Columbia, a listening ear to me,
Forever wave the emblem Of justite over thee

the silver FIGHT IS ON.
STATESMEN ARE ENpEAvoRNe TO MAKE
BETTER TIMES.
Repeal Msa Not Wanting for Leadere-Predicsed
that Congress Will Do Nothing.

WAsHINGToN, Aug. 12.-It is clear
that the silver men in the House and
the Senate intend to appeal from Mr..
Carlisle the secretary to Mr.. Carlisle
the Congressman. Mr.. Pence, of Colo
RADIO, began the employment of such
tactics when he quoted from one of Mr..
Carlisle's speeches the declaration that
war, pestilence and famine combined
could not more grievously injure the
country than the demonetization of sill
yer.
Though new man, Pence handled
himself well and made an excellent I'M
preston.
Raynor, who fred the first gun of the
fight, is declared by some of his mono-
metallist colleagues to have been inju-
dicious in his denunciations of the white
metal, but that may spring out of mere
| jealousy.
The rivalry between the leaders on the
unconditional repeal side for the dis
tinction Of being regarded as the espec-
| ial chief has now and then developed
ludicrous phases. A dozen or more men,
headed by Cochran, Raynor, and Fitch.
want to be known as the leaders. On
the other side Bland is this time follow
ed with an implicit trust in his leader
ship never before accorded him. He
seems to appreciate the full Importance
of his position. Bryan is his chosen
lieutenant.
Few men of either side expect that
these two weeks of debate will change
many votes. Nor is it more than the
nominal purpose OF the argument to ef-
feet such changes. The leaders want
the argument to be put before the peo-
/ pie. 1t is addressed to the voters of the
country more than it is made to the
law makers.
Congressman Hopkins even prophe-
sizes that when the two weeks end and
the votes are numbered on the various
propositions congress will be right
where it is now and that no proposition
will carry, not even that of repeal.
1t is common gossip that the Presi-
dents sudden going Yesterday discom-
fitted the senate steering committee. g.

NONSENSE.
Talk About the Fair Next Year Absurd.

''It is nonsense of the worst kind
simply absurd" said Director General
Davis the other day when asked about
the rumor that the Worlds Fair would
be kept open another year. 81 know
George Francis Train is talking about
keeping the Fair open next summer,
butI was not aware that he had any
power of decision in the NATTER
"'What We want to do" Colonel Da-
Wis added, lis to keep the Fair open
several weeks in November-perhaps
during the entire month. have recon-
mended that, but it is too far ahead to
say what will be done. They say the
Art Gallery, Horticultural Building, and
the Fisheries Building will be open next
year, do they? Well, now, let's see. 1
happen to know that the Art Gallery
will be stripped as soon after October
80 as the paintings can be taken from
the walls. 1t will be one of the first
buildings emptied. AS for the Fisheries
building, every fish would be frozen as
stiff as a poker before Christmas. 1t
would take more stoves than we could
put in the building to keep the fish from
freezing if We had another season like
last winter. Now, as regards Horticul-
tnral Building that is the one building
that could not be kept open except at
great expense. The fruit display there
must be replaced very often. New ma
terial is added every day. So that the
building would be maintained at great
expense. No, it's all mistake to say
the Fair will be open next season. It
viii be closed for good this fall"

TOPOLOBAMPO COLONY.
An Appeal to Congress to Correct Al
legged Serious Abuses.

The following news concerning the
abuses of, the Bellamy Colony in Old
Mexico, will be read with great interest
by people of this county who have
friends and relatives there. A special
sent out from Topeka, Kas., dated Aug.
IL, says:
"Some very serious charges have been
made by prominent people of Kansas
against the Topolobampo Colony
scheme, in which State Bank Commis-
sioner Breidenthal is interested. This
colony is located in the State of Sinaloa,
Old Mexico. Recently reports coming
from there state that the people gencr-
ally are in very poor circumstances,
many being destitute. To-day James
Logsdon wrote letter to Case Brode-
rick, Congressman from the First Dis
trict, asking him to make an investiga-
ton and, if possible, to have Congress
institute thorough investigation as to
the report of destitution in that colony.
All the county officers Of Pottawatomie
county signed the demand written by
Logsdon. In his letter Logsdon says:
by swindling device many of our
people have been induced to 60 to a
colony on the eastern cost of the Gulf
of California. Before going there they
are required to surrender their money
to the agents here-Breidenthal and
others and take scrip for it, and also
to take an oath never to make known
to their friends here any discomfort.
The people there are in most pitiable
and hopeless condition and unable to
return or to make known to friends
here their deplorable situation. Hav-
ing daughter there, implore you to
have an inquiry instituted by the au-
thority of Congress, SO far as the fraud
is carried on ia this State and if pos
sible to stop it. Also have our minister
to Mexico and our nearest Consul make
an inquiry, and if advisable to ask the
Government of Mexico to right the
wrongs inflicted upon Americans in that
colony. It seems to me the Government
should provide means for the return to
the international line of all such as are
enslaved by their inability to extricate
themselves
During the past three years several
hundred people have gone to the colony
and it is rare thing for their friends
left behind to receive a letter or mes
sage from them. These facts have
caused the officials of Pottawatomie,
and other prominent citizens to get at
the bottom of the charges made against
Breidenthal and Others"
