And under the blossoming apple tree
He lies and dreams of things to be.

Over the hills and far away

It's oh for the toll the livelong day!
But 1t mattereth not to the soul aflame
With the love for riches and power and

On, o man! while the sun is high
On to the certain joys that lie
Yonder where blaZeth the noon of day.

Now that his journey is almost done,
His battles fought and victories won,

The truthfulness and the friends Of

Homen and mother-where are they?
over the hills and far away

Get Out the Vote.

The Democrats are on the run. Get
out the vote.
Their campaign of abuse and villifi-
cation has reached it's climax week
too soon; has burst in all its filthy fury
before the ballot harvest could be gar
nered; and now the smut-throwers of
the opposition are brought face to face
with an indignant public reaction. Get
out the vote.
1t is time to bury scurrilous PERSONAL
abuse as a method of campaigning.
This will be done to the height of cri-
tical taste if Republicans everywhere
will get out and vote.

Mr.. Singerly has determined to take
q radical position on the tariff question
whether it wins or loses votes, At Nor.
ristown, he fatty branded all tariffs as
nothing less than schemes of legalized
robbery. This is undoubtedly the ulti.
mate trend of Democracy's present
teachings. We frankly admit that
every free trader in Lackawanna county
ought to vote for Mr.. Singerly and Mr.
Merrifield; just as every protectionist
should, upon the contrary, vote, to a
man, for General Hastings and Repre-
sentative Scranton.

1t is a we'll known fact that when
rogues begin works of rascality, they
first cry stop, thief to distract atten-
ton from their own crookedness. An
illustration of this habit is strikingly
shown in the howl of the Democratic
bosses over alleged corruption funds
among the Republicans. AS matter
of fact, the one fund raised during this
campaign for corrupt purposes was
commemorated at certain North End
banquet, not long ago; and was con-
tributed by Democrats. Shall we give
full particulars?

The pocketbook of Louis n. Megargee
the Philadelphia Times reporter who ac-
companies the Singerly party, was found
by A. Y. Hahn, Pennsylvania railroad
employe yesterday. The passes and re-
ceipts were not disturbed, but the money
was gone. The amount was over 500
The pocketbook was found under the
seat of a passenger coach of the Wilkes
Barre train, and was evidently thrown
there after the money was taken out.

Turning Their Backs.

Our Democratic friends have not made
very good reputation for the past few
years in managing the affairs of this
great country. Mr.. Cleveland said he did
not see how the Democratic party could
race the people after what they had done
with the tariff question. Now, my fell
low countrymen, the people are putting
themselves in a position to make the
statement of Mr.. Cleveland true proph-
ecy, for they are turning their backs on
the Democratic party, 50 that it will not
have to face them"

Mr.. Bailey, you are business man
Suppose we should call you blackguard
names and picture you as a desperate

tactics? Why not fight fair? You will
find that it pays, in the long run, even
in nOlitiCS.

Filth will not win.

The Republican newspapers, we are
happy to says have uttered no libels on
any Democratic candidate; have not
slandered either Mr.. Merrifleld, Mr..
Smith, Mr.. Bailey or Mr.. Schadt; and

dates want to trade in political filth
and smut, they can have free monop-
oily of the privilege.

LITTLE WHEAT HELD.
Amount Carried Over by Farmers Will Not
En- coed 4, 600, 600 Bushels. :

Amount Carried Over by Farmers Win Not
En- coed 4, Zoo, 600 Bushels. :
MINNEAPOLIS, July 21.-The farmers
of the Northwest are going to carry over
to the new crop year smaller quantity
of old wheat than for some time past.
Inquiry among the elevator men dis
closes the fact that the farmers are
marketing very little wheat at this time
and, although the receipts at Minneap-
oils are holding up pretty well consider
ing the market, the part sold by the
farmers is steadily growing less week by
week. It is estimated that the farmers
sold last week about 200, 600 bushels. For
the week ending SaturT ~ the proportion
sold by the farmers will be still less. The
records of Secretary Rogers, of the
Chamber of Commerce, show that, of
the 1891 crop, 25,000,000 million bushels
were carried over by the farmers. Of
the 1892 crop, about 100000 bushels
were held over, while of the 1898 crop it
is now estimated that not over 5000, 900
or 1000, 900 bushels will remain in the
farmers hands when the new crop be-
gins to move. A larger proportion than
usual Of the current crop was sold by
the farmers last fall, so that they have
not much on hand by this time, and
their part OF present shipments is very
light.

RUIN ALMOST TOTAL.

Only About One-Third of Nebraska Will
Have Any Crop at All.
OMAHA, July 31.-Never in the his
tory Of Nebraska did the future of the
farmer look SO discouraging as at pres
Int. Fields Of corn that promised a
bountiful yield and winter of plenty a
week ago stand today dry and with
cred as though swept by flames. In the
western two-thirds of the state there is
no hope. Every green. thing is with
cred. Farmers who had calculated on a
very heavy crop of corn and had
invested in cattle and hogs to feed
find themselves with nothing in
the way of fodder and they are sending
their stock to market as fast as possible,
to get rid of the animals before they
starve. This is shown in the receipts
of hogs at the South Omaha market
Saturday, when 10000 head came. The
normal Saturday receipts at these yards
are about 1000 hogs. During the week
$4,000 were received. Many farmers
are already on their way out of the
state, there being no hope before them
for the winter.

DEFECTIVE MISSILES.

Report of the Commission That Investi-
gated the Chicago Caisson Accident.
CHICAGO, July 31.-The report of the
commissi On appointed to investigate the
caisson explosion has been completed
and turned over to General Miles, who
will forward it to Washington. The
report says that the explosion resulted
from detection of shells, in which the
''plunger" which explodes the missiles
was loose. Many defective shells were
found at Fort Sheridan, and it is said
the report recommends that the manu-
facture of the missiles now used be
stopped, and others substituted that are
less liable to accident. The shells are
supposed to require blow of 100 pounds
to explode them, but many Of those at
Fort Sheridan showed loose plungers
and were likely to explode with rough
handling.

I HIRD.'|. BIC FIRE.
City of Minneapolis Visited by
Another Destructive Con-
flagration. ......
NEARLY. HALF A MILLION LOSS.
Immense Lumber Yard Wiped
.Out-Railroad Property
Destroyed.

MINNEAPOLIS, July 31.-The third
disastrous fire in the history of Mime
apolis broke out about $50 p. m. in the
lumber yards Of the Shevlin- Carpenter
company on the bank of the Mississippi
river at the foot of Eighth avenue
north. It spread with remarkable rap
idity, and before it was controlled de-
stroyed property valued at nearly $780,
600. Besides 100000 feet of lumber,
the gas manufacturing plant Of the
Omaha Railway company, the round
house, Toulouse, sandhouse and turn
tables of that road, nearly 40 freight
cars, some of them loaded with mer-
chandise, and the Office building of the
Shevlin Carpenter company were
burned. The sawmill, the planingmill
drying kilns and storehouse for mould
ing and prepared wood, although in the
very heart'of the fire district, were saved
by the efforts of the fremen, aided by a
fortunate change in the direction Of the
wind. Help was summoned from St.
Paul to stay the confagration and four
engines with full crews were sent over
from that city. The insurance will be
about $350,000.
Was Hot Fire.
When the fire was at it's height the
heat was SO intense that for blocks
around the paint on buildings shrivled
up on the boards. It was as if sheol
had opened it's furnace gates and given
Minneapolis the full benefit. The fire.
men worked with will, but the heat
was so excessive at times that it was
found necessary for the fremen to run
back from their posts.
Since the Shevlin- Carpenter fire was
brought under control six other fires
have broken out in various parts Of the
city. So far but little damage has been
done. Some of the blazes were, it is be-
ievcd, Of incendiary origin. Every
member of the fire department. and
every piece of apparatus in the city has
been employed tor II hours continu-
ously.
The fire losses for the month of July
aggregated $1,230,000. There have
been 2O3 alarms.

A BAD BLUNDER
Japan May tiet Into Serious
Trouble For Sinking the
-* koW Shing. .~
FL0ATED THE BRITISH FLAG.
The Mistake May Cost Much
Money and a Humiliating
Apology.

WASHINGTON, July 31.-It is the opin-
ion Of diplomats here that the Japanese
have made grave error in sinking the
transport Kow Shing, and one that is
likely to cost them much money in
reparation, besides the humiliation of an
apology. The Kow Shing was one of a
inc OF coasting steamers belonging to
Hugh Mathelson & Co., and trading be-
tween Chinese ports. The vessel was
under the British flag when she was
sunk Although she carried Chinese
troops to Corea, it is said here that she
did not in SO doing violate the law of
neutrality, for there has been no
declaration of war or open acknowledge
ment by either China or Japan that a
war prevails.
The vessel, therefore, was engaged in
legitimate traffic, and the Japanese are
likely to pay dearly for sinking her and
destroying the lives of the ships com.
pany.
An Interesting Explanation
Of the present attitude of Japan to-
wards China was furnished by diplo-
mat Of much experience in Asiatic af-
fairs. He first pointed out the fact that
internal conditions in Japan are, and
have been for some time, very much
disturbed. There has been great fric-
ton between the mikado and his cab
met on the one side and the parlia~
ment and people on the other. This
STEADILY increased until the parliament
actually passed a resolution requesting
the mikado to remove his cabinet and
replace it by other men more nearly in
accord with their ideas, which are dis
tinctly reactionary and marked by re,
sentiment at the presence of foreigners
in Japan and the extension of modern
civiliZing systems.
