Before another week shall have passed
the election in Alabama will have settled
the first skirmish of the political fight of
1894. 1t is a contest between democrats and

Bryan's admiring worshipers want him
to ask for a popular expression upon his
candidacy for the United States senate
What would Bryan gain by that? With the
editorship of great paper at his command
he can create senators and congressman and
perhaps presidents. The creator is always
greater than his creature. The editorship of
metropolitan newspaper ought to quench
the fires of all frivolous senatorial ambitions
that burn in Bryans breast.

Franklin MacVeagh, democratic senatorial
candidate in Illinois, wants to hold himself
aloof from all challenges to debate with re-
pubicans on the ground that there is no
authorized representative of the republican
party in Illinois to debate with him. This
places Mr., MacVeagh in very awkward po-
sition. All he will be able to do will be to
debate with himself, and with such an in

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Aug. 20.-The
great textile strike, Which bids fair TO
prove the biggest of its kind i'll the his
tory of New England, is on. Some tif-
teen of the non-union weayerS who de-
serted the strikers during the recent
Wamsntta strike, are at work in the
mill, and few Portuguese are working
in the South End. With these eXcep-
tons every mill in the city is silent, and
the streets full OF operatives who seem
to be well behaved and cheerful. 1t is
estimated that over 1000 persons have
stopped work. Meetings Of the various
unions were held this morning, and
encouraging reports are made.
Late this afternoon big change came
over the strike situation. IL was gen.
orally believed that in view of the pro-
cedure of the Rowland, Roth and New
Bedford Manufacturing companies, the
strike would be speedily settled. 1t
now transpires that every manufacture
er in the city, outside of those repre-
senllng the above mills, has decided to
shut down the mills for an indefinite
period. Treasurer K. G. Pierce, of the
Wamsutta mills, issued this manifesto.

steady and closed with September at
554c. The easier opening was due to
some extent to the action of corn, which
opened off. and to the large receipts of
LIB cars. New York, however, was
firmer, and there was a decrease on
ocean passage of $4,000 bu, which
counteracted the weaker tone, and on
free buying by the local crowd. the
price advanced and was further helped
later by the increase in the visible
being smaller than expected, and
the free acceptances by the con-
tinent of offers from this side.
Cables came in stronger and
continental advices were "bullish" in
weather In France was reported wet
and was also something of factor.
The moderately sharp upturn in corn
also aided the upward tendency. New
York was a good buyer and local
shorts who sold freely Saturday COW
cred on the upturn today. Corn was
weak at the start, but soon firned up.
Local dealers were covering SHORTS and
did not find sellers as plentiful as they
expected. The country sent some more
buying orders, and both classes OF buy
ing were in active competition at times
for very limited offerings. Reports of
the condition of the crop were generally
as bad and in some cases worse than be-
fore. There WAS an active demand in
the cash crowd for the earliest offerings
to go to store at &c per bu over the Sep

The activity in the oats market did
not amount to very much, but during

transacted. Even with a decrease i'll

There was fair amount of trade
done in the provision pit, but prices
were higher from the start. differing in
that respect from the grain markets.
The market .sliEened the. session
progressed. The hog receipts were
only $4,000 today instead of $4,000. as
