Weekly Weather-Crop Bulletin.

During the week ending Sstur.
day, April l4th, the weather was
much more favorable for growing
crops than during the week pre-.
ceeding but was too cool for vege.
tatlon to make much advancement
The rainfall, considered for the
state at large, WAS in excess of the
normal but was not well distribut-
ed. The greater portion of the
rainfall during the week occurred
on the Sth and 9th and in most
sections was sufficient to greatly
improve the condition of wheat
oats and grasses. Light showers
also occurred on the 18th.
The temperature was below
normal. Frosts occurred on the
10th, llth, 18th, and 18th, but
little damage is reported.
Wheat is recovering slowly and
looks fairly well in most counties.
Early sown wheat suffered most
from the freezing weather in
March. In few counties some
wheat has been plowed up and the
ground prepared for corn.
The greater portion nf the oats
sown early in March were killed
and have been resown or the
ground plowed for corn. Late
sown oats are growing slowly.
In the northern portion of the
state farmers have been busily en-.
gagged IN preparing corn ground
and some have commenced plant. |
ing. In the central and southern
counties planting is well In hand. |
The acreage of corn will be some |
what increased by the planting of |
fields previously seeded to oats.
Grasses are improving slowly !
and stock has been put on pasture
in some sections. Considerable
clover and timothy has been re-
sown.
Gardens are backward. Many
potatoes have been replanted.
Fruit prospects are much better
han they were week ago. Cher
les, apples, pears and plums are
q bloom. Peaches are about all :
.illed.
Cotton planting has commenced {

The present week has opened |

The Democratic Convention.

Last Saturday afternoon the
Democratic county convention
convened In Masonic hall to se-
iect two delegates 10 attend the
Democratic state convention AT
Kansas City May 18th. The con-
vention was the widest held in
the county since The mem orable
cshveniion of eight years ago
when every effort was made by
the President OF the kIrksvllle
Normal aud bic followers TO send
a ! auti-Coleman delegation to the
state coLyeuilon.
The fight w@s really fight be-
tween the First National Bank
and the Kirksville Savings Bark
Last spring State superintendent
IL. Il. Wolfe voted to make Il. NJ.
Rlngo treasurer of the Normal
school, a position that had been
held for twenty years by W. L.
Bird, cashier of the First Nation
al Bank, and his vote decided the
matter. This caused bitter fight
against Wolfe, and every effort
vas made by the First National
Bank faction to send u Carrlngton
delegation to Kansas City, while
The Savings Bank faction were
lust as determined To send n WoIfa
delegation.
The fight began Friday after
noon. A call had been made for
township conventions, but when
the Democratics assembled in the
little carpenter shop north of Mil
ler's lumber yard Friday after
noon Robt. Clark decided to hold
a primary election instead of a
and refused to call the
to order. Some one
made motion to adjourn to Ma
sonic hall and hold q convention.
HE motion carried with q whoop,
and one faction adjourned to the
halt. Robt Clark went ahead with
his primary election and as a re-
suit there were two sets of dele
gates from Benton townshor.
When the county convention
met in Masonic hall Saturday af-
ternoon, it was evident that both
factions had knives up their
sleeves, and that q fight to the
death WAS on hand. Robt Clark
called the convention to order, aud
named ID. A. Ely as temporary
chairman. Finley Harlan was
MAZE temporary secretary. On
motion a committee, consisting of
one from each township except
Benton was appointed by the chair
on credentials. To expedite
business 2 T. Greenwood moved
that the temporary chairman and
secretary be made permanent,
which was unanimously carried.
The committee on Credentials
retired and after deliberation re-
ported all delegates from the va-
clous townships, except Benton
entitled to seats in the convention.
Bolh delegations from Benton,
we're thrown out. A motion to
adopt the report of the committee
vas seconded, but before the
question was voted DIR. Hanks,
chairman Of the committee on :
credentials, arose and stated that :
f desired the committee would
its report, and reconsid. :
n its action. The vote was taken :
md the report of the committee
vas adopted. When the National
'ank faction found they were out
'oted they rose In a body and ad-
urned to mother part of the
lall and held conventinn of
heir own. d. A. Ely also re-
lgned the ehairmandship and o
clarence McClannahan was elect |
d chairman.
The convention then proceeded ;,

The Republican party ls
pledged to the restoration OF silver.
and that pledge must be redeemed
when the Republican party is
again in power.
The Sherman law should
not have been repealed. Under
that law the exk ansion of the
currency was SO gradual that the
Government had no difficulty IL
maintaining the value of silver al
a parity with gold.
The rumor that the city
council had contracted with the
Moberly brick company for all the
brick necessary in the construc.
ton of the water works is false
1t is the intention of the council
to purchase the supplies at home
when they can be obtained from
home people.
The chairman of the Demo-
cratic conven ion last Saturday
afternoon called on the convention
In pathetic tones, "For the l. rd's
sake to conduct themselves like
men and Democrats" }" In the ex-
citsment of the moment he for
got that the Lord was not having
anything to do with the Democra-
tic party at this time.
Much of the financial trou-
BILE from which all the country is
more or less suffering Is due to
the abnormal amount of business
being done on credit. There is
In too many cases more balloon
than ballast, and too free bor-
rowing on purely speculative ia
lures. We are characterized by
our sublime faith in ourselves,
and the ispiring idea, that we can
make up in energy and vim what
we lack in essh. The result is
that perhaps 80 per cent of the
business is carried on with bor-
rowed money, and in every city
we have series of inverted pyra
mlds of credit piled up on very
thin scantling of actual cash. Ii
is obvious that when credit un-
dergoes sharp contraction some
thing has to go under, with the
misfortune to accentuate the fact
that the good and bad are too
often a mixed multitude of unfor-
tunstes. Itmay be that the pres
ent critical condition of affairs
may, In some measure cure us of
the recklessness with which too
many men without collateral bor-
row money, and an equ big
crowd are ready to loan cash Oh
risky bottoms.

SPEECH OF
GOV. VIM. MCKINLEY
Delivered at Milwaukee,
tuesday Evening, October 9, 1894,

Chairman Thorn introduced Maj. Nc
Kinley at $40 o'clock, saying: Fellow
Citizens of Milwaukee and Wisconsin:
am indeed grateful for the honor of in
PRODUCING to you the enemy of free trade,
the defender of protection, American
homes and American industries, Gov. Nc
Kinley of Ohio" Great applause.)
Governor Mckinley said: MIR. Presi-
dent, Ladies and Gentlemen and my Eel
that 1 have ever been permitted to look
into the faces of an audience in the city
Of Milwaukee was in 1884, when the
gifted Blaine, the beloved of all Ameri-
cans, was addressing an assembled host
in you city. He was then representing the
great cause of the Republican party and
its principles. That gifted statesman, that
Industrious American is gone, but the prin-
cipIes which he represented then still
survive.
''CIoser and dearer to the American peo-
pie than they have ever been since the
mighty struggle for the freedom of man
to-day to great audiences. | have come to
crave your indulgence for a little while if
YOU will be patient with me. Disturbance
My fellow citizens, l know from my obser
Walton of the last two weeks how difficult
it is 20 find any hall large enough for the
Republicans this year. (Applause) If
this great audience will be patient with me
for a little while and bear with me, I
shall endeavor to make myself heard by
all of you.
In November, 1892, a Republican ma
tional administration which had been in
control of the government for nearly four
years and which had administered the gov

at the head of which stood one of our

that on the Saturday before 700 men had been
working in the tin plate factory of Messrs.
Niederinghaus Bros turned out the
streets. Why? Because the Democratic con-
gress had reduced the tariff tin plate low
that they could longer control any part of
this market without a reduction in wages. My
in 1892 but good times. (Applause.) We have
got the same dinner pail that we carried then,
but they say that their bill is better than ours
because it reduces tariffs. Well it does reduce
duties 1t does down the tariff nearly
everything that import That is true. But
what does it do it for? 1t tells you what it does
it for 1t says it is done to increase the revenue
Well need it badly enough Qaughterl But
how can you increase the revenue by reducing
duties? Did you ever ask yourself that question?
Why, yes, in way, and that is by increasing
your purchases from abroad If you want to
produce more revenue with lower duties you

"The Republicans for thirty years have
been putting up defenses to keep your
products and the products Of other nations
out. The Democratic party is now en-
gagged in tearing down those defenses."
That was his London speech. His Charles
town, w. Va, speech he has amended so
it reads according to the newspapers of to-
day: "The Republican party have been
for thirty years building up defenses. The
Democratic party is now engaged in tear
ing them down-not to let your pro-
ducts in, as he said in London-'but to
let our products out Oaughter)
Why my distinguished friend don't
seem to comprehend that we don't
put any tariffs on things that are going
out. We put our tariffs on things that
come in. (Applause) 1 will tell you what
his policy has done. 1t has put working
men out on the streets and has beggared
industry all over the United States. (Ap-
plause.) But my fellow citizens, bad as
their bill is, even before it had become a
law under the constitution, the president
having refused to sign it, every Democratic
leader from Mr. Cleveland down-now re-
member this was after the passage of the
law, after eighteen months of uncertainty
and distress and disquietude among the
business men of the country, after the
distress Of the wage earners of the coun-
try, after they had passed their law,
they publicly announced to the business
of the country that their law is not a set
Element of the question at all; that it is
but the beginning; that it is the first
step in the direction of tariff reform that it is
the entering wedge to free trade. Why, even
Nh. Cleveland says the war has only just be-
gun. War against what? War against the in
dustrieS and occupations of the people War
against whom? Against his fellow citizens
over whose republic he presides by the voice of
the people. He has become Il warrior in peace
de was peace man in war. Great cheering)
And so while the business interests of this coun-
try have been waiting all these months for some
thing no matter what. SO they could adjust their
business to it, they publicly proclaim that you
need not try to adjust your business to it for
this is only the beginning and have got an
other session of the present congress in which
we have full control of the government Do you
know how to stop this further our in
duStrieS?'
