no trouble in breaking down the frail

where ropes were placed around their

for blood, dragged them over the
roads half mile away. Behind them
followed the remainder of the mob,
firing at the PROSTATE forms at
every step. The victims were undOubt-

up when the woods were reached. The

sheriff's posse are reported dead, and
four more of the mob. The mob is

A courier has just arrived who says
that the mob, instead of dispensing, as
was expected, renamed upon the

remained under arms, and was
rapidly being reinforced. All
through the morning the mob
continued 10 receive accessions to its
ranks, and 10y noon the party numbered
about 500 to 600 men. Feeling ran
high, and after a few speeches the
posse decided to avenge the sheriff's
death, and another battle took place
shortly after noon, III which at least
twenty-five more men were killed.

prevented the employers from con-
trolling their employees votes: and that,
with the firm stand taken by organized
labor, resulted in the overwhelming de-
feat of the Republican party"
AS an extensive employer, the senator
doubtless spoke from personal eXpe-
rience with his employees, both under
the old open ballot and under the
secret ballot. His associations with
other employers on large scale I'M
doubtedly make him familiar with
their methods of controlling votes, and
so he speaks from wider experience
than merely his own. And the senator
speaks as truthfully as he does candid
ly. While the papers of his party have
for years been firing the Northern
heart with denunciationS of the denial
of voting to Southern negroes, Northern
employers have been controlling their
employees votes" in the interest of that
party. The vote on the Vermillion
range in this state of last year, COM
pared with that of two years ago, con-
firms the senator's statement. The sem
ator is entitled to credit for his candor.

THE GOVERNORS AND THE
GRAIN MARKETS.

Aside from the national issues dis
cussed in the campaign, the only other
question was that forced by the Demo
Gratis. the grain markets. That this was
not the trivial thing which the millerS
and elevator men insisted it was; that
there is foundation for the allegations
of the Democrats, and a great public
wrong crying for remedy, is amply
shown in the prominence given to the
subject by both the retiring and the i'll
coming governor.
In the campaign of 'SS the platform of
the Democratic party had a plank de-
nouncing as Ineffective the law of SO
as remedy for the complaints which
gave rise to its enactments. The plank
pointed out the absurdity of providing
Tor an inspection at terminals as a rem
edy for evils originating at the initial
points long prior to the arrival OF the
grain at the terminal. 1t declared that
the evil arose from an abdication by the
railroads of one of their functions, and
that the cure was to compel them to re-
sumo it. The platforms of 80 and '92
repeated the declarations, and the dis
closure of the methods OF robbery prac-
ticed under this false system, made by
the Democratic committee, made the
grain the one state issue.
Both messages treat the question.
Both admit the charges made by the
Democrats. Gov. MERRIAM says there
is every reason to believe that, at coun-
try points. there has been much dis
elimination in the way of dockage and
in grading wheat, and very many
wrongs have been perpetrated in this
direction, to the detriment of the farm
ing community in the wheat-groWfng
districts" Gov. NELSON says that it is
only the "big farmers" or dealers who
ship direct to the terminals, where the
state acts as an umpire between them
and the buyers at the terminal with her
inspectors and WeigherS; "but the Or
binary farmer, he who is unable to ship
in carload lots and is obliged TO sell his
grain by the wagon load to the local
dealers-and most farmers belong to
this class--he has no state umpire either
as to grade, weight or dOckage. No state
weigner or state inspector is at hand or
can be invoked to right his wrong, if
any, but he is RENTED to the vague and
dilatory remedy of the common law"
In this the governor is mistaken. He
has no remedy at all in the law. If he
is not satisfied with the weight or grade
of dOckage he can go to another buyer
in the combine and get the same treat
ment.
1t is gratifying to the GLOBE to have
the position taken by the Democr ats in
their platforms and in the campaign
thus reinforced and Endorsed by these
two governors. The evil is too general
and serious one to be made party
issue, and if the legislature will address
itself seriously, intelligently and hon
eStly to its redress, it will have the sup
port of the GLOBE and of the Democrats
in the legislature. If it fail to do it; if
it permits the combine to frame its bills,
as did the legislature of '95, and try to
fool the people with semblance of re-
medal legislation, the GLOBE assures
them that the question will be made a
party one, and that the Democrats will
keep up the tight until it is won.

ANTi-oPIIoN.
Two Slight Amendments Made to
the Pending Measure.


the Pending Measure.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The senate at
2 p. IN. took up the anti-option bill as
the unfinished business. An amend
ment was offered by Mr.. Washburn and
agreed to. inserting in section words
to make the proviso read: "That such
contract or agreement shall not be
made, settled for delivery or settlement
of difference, or by any other moGe of
performance or settlement, in or upon
any board of trade, etc."
= Mr.. White (Dem.), Louisiana, moved
TO insert in section the word flour"
as one OF the articles referred to.
+ Mr.. Washburn said that he would
make no objection to the proposed
amendment.
Mr.. Sherman took occasion to state
his views Oh the subject of the measure,
which were, in brief, that, although he
was personally neutral in regard to it
and had some doubts both as to the
constitutional power of congress in the
matter and as 10 whether the bill, if it
became law, would accomplish what
was expected of it. he would vote for it
in Difference to the Wi hes OF farmers
associations and individual farmers,
who believed that with the suppression
of dealings in futures, which Mr.. Sher-
man characterized as gambling, not so
fair as what took place around the faro
table, the prices of their products would
be governed by the law of supply and
demand. Mr.. Whites amendment was
agreed TO.

CROP OF 1892.
Wheat Yield Slightly Above the
Average.

WAsHINGToN, Jan. 4.-The wheat
crop is slightly above an average in
yield. and in volume has only been ex-
ceeded in 1891, 1884 and 1882, though the
crops of 1889 and 1880 nearly equaled it.
The area, as estimated, is 1854, 430
acres; product, 515.949, 900 bushels; val
ne, 1922, III, S12. In the revision of acre
age, the principal changes are made in
some states in which the decline of the
past twelve years has been heavier than
had been reported. There has also been
considerable enlargement of breadth
the past year in several Western states.
The rate of yield is 1874 bushels per
acre. The average value per bushel.
GA cents, is the lowest average value
ever reported. that of 1884 being CHS
cents and that of 1887 being 6S.1 cents.
The average of the crop Of 1891 was $50
cents. The weight of measured bush
els will be determined later, but it is
probable that the acreage above will be
equivalent to nearly 500,000,000 COM
mercial bushels.
The estimates of corn. wheat aud oats
area, product and value by states and
territories, by the statiStician OF the
department of agriculture, have been
completed, and will be distributed to
the press tomorrow. The corn crop is
short, exceeded in quantity several
times in the last ten years, but slightly
larger than III 1888. 1887 and 1890. Its
average yield per acre, 23.1 bushels, has
been exceeded six times in ten years.
Its area is considerably reduced, the re-
duction being very heavy in the corn
producing regions, though offset in
part by increases in the Atlantic states
and throughout the entire cotton belt.
In the valleys eff the Ohio and Missouri
planting was retBrded and limited
greatly by heavy rains. which prevented
plowIng. The production was l,26S. 464,-
000 bushels: value. 1912, l46. $50. averag-
ing 1913 cents per bushel. the estimates
for oats are Product, 66l, $50, 900 bushels :;
value, S200, 253,6 Gil; yield per acre, 24.4
bushels.

CANDID SENATOR wAsHBURN.

Senator WASHBURN differs with the
eminent authorities in his party as to
the cause of the late catastrophe which
overlook his party. We had President
HARRIsoN's lugubrlous admission that
"the tariff did it," Tom REED is still of
the opinion that the women did it,"
end we have the diagnosis of DR..
WHIrELAw REID that it was due to the
spread of socialism. And now comes
our own senator with frank admission
that il was the Australian ballot that
did it. The senator was on his way back
to Washington, and stopped i'll Chicago.
1t may be that he stopped to see if Mr..
MEDILL would not take back that ugly
story he printed about the senator's
going long on wheat and getting so
short on it that he dropped a big wad of
money on the board of trade. But that
Is another story.
Glad there been no Australian bal

himself from the reporters gaze be-
hind the smoke of a Perfecto, "the Re-
publican party would not have been de-
feated." AS this was departure from
the regulation explanation, and was
just what the reporter was after, some
thing new, the latter pressed for an
explanation, which the senator gra-
ciouSly gave. You see," said he, "it
