A Dilemma Indeed.

EDITOR ADvoCATE:-Populists seem
to be in an unsettled state Of mind as to
their duty, what is to be done and what
course to pursue in the present condi-
tion Of the country. In thia they only
reflect the dilemma of the people gensr-
ally and Of the old:psrties. Everything
political is in q qusndary throughout
the length and breadth of the land. The
legislation Of the past twenty-five years
has brought the nation TO q condition
from which no party seems to be able
to extriCate it. All the devices sug-
gested are trivial and temporizinR, Sand
don't 90 to the bottom Of the difficulty.
Nothing short Of radical, thorough
measures will effect the relief and re-
demption Of the country. People and
parties fear to speak out and declare
convictions. But time will declare them,
and until then we must wait.
If any one thinks 1t an easy matter
to solve the problem Of our difficulties,
let him try his hand at the following:
The public and private debts Of the
American people are estimated at
10000 million dollars L(or thirty billions,
IL you choose 80 to express it), while the
entire valuation of the property Of the
nation, according to the last census, was
about double that amount, and that has
woefully depreciRted since that time as
we ell know. Now the former (ths 80
billiOnO is drawing interest at the rate
Of per cent. certainly, while the net
product Of all the industries Of lhe Coun-
try only adds 3 per cent. annually TO our
capital. What 10 to be the resultfoR this

grant to the Santa Fs road and has re-
ferred others back TO the general land
Office. The question of this adjust.
ment has been pending many years.
In 1889 the land office submitted a
statement showing that an excess Of
7OO,S55 acres had been approved to the
company. The company admitted an
excess Of Ii, 100 acres, but claimed that
all the lRnds within the indemnity
limit were approved in 1875 and that
this approval constituted a complete Rd-
justment Of the grant which ought not
TO be disturbed.
The secretary holds that the primary
and indemnity grants must be considered
as a whole and that the apparent settle
ment Of the indemnity grant is set aside
by grants made within the primary
grants subsequent to 1875. A rule has
been served on the company to show
cause why it should not reCOnvey the
excess, and in reply it has made several
new allegations which will bs consid-
cred.
The secretary also points out that 49,.
600 acres really due the Santa Fe but
enormously patented to the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas railway, can readily be
recovered by the former company by g
suit Rt law.

Innocence Abroad,

LONDON, July 21.-It has developed
that q police raid was made upon the
Palace club on Thursday. A number Of
prominent Americans were caught in
the raid. The club is one Of several
fashionable night clubs in London where
the disreputabls resort. 1t opens at
midnight and closes at 6 a. m. Lately
the palace has been very riotous.
The club ia elegantly appointed, hsv-
ing twenty-five men servants and q band
playing nightly. A hundred men and wo.
mem all in evening dress were captured.
Among them were a United States sem
stor, congressman, prominent Jaw
official Of an Eastern state ard an Amer
loan police official. All save the proprie-
tor and servants of the club were re-
leased. TheyWere remsnded.

Northern Farmers Discouraged.

CHICAGO, I'LL, July ga special dis.
patch from Grand Forks, N. D., says:
The farmers Of the region Of Mime
sofa and North DAkotG, comprising
the ten counties of the Rcd river valley,
are gloomy over the prospect. A week
ago their wheat promised the greatest
yield ever known in this section, some
placing it as high as forty bushels to the
acre, but 1t has rRined four days the
last week and the weather has been
uniformity cloudy and hot.
Smut and rust have developed In On
alarming degree. The region expected
to raise 10 million bushels Of wheat. IL
Ia now feared that thousands Of acres
Of wheat are utterly ruined.
Rain has fallen for the last forty
eight hours at ST. Vincent, Mimi, and
there are no prospects OF it's stopping.
All grain is fiat on the ground and in
most cases will never rise owing to the
rank, heavy growth. Rust and smut
are seen In every field.
MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, July 22.-There-
ports Of smut and rust in Grand Forks
and Psmbins counties, North Dakota,
are not serious enough to have become q
feature in the local trade. Smutted
fields have been found here and there,
but the great majority of the fields in
the Red river valley are in good condl-
tion, and while further and more de-.
tailed reports from the territory affected
are looked for, there is little anxiety in
the trade as yet.

Pressure for More Bonds.

WASHINGTON, July 20.-It is broadly
intimsted to-day that, while at the
meeting of the cabinet yesterday, Cuban
matters and the Mora claim against
Spain were discussed, yet one Of the inn
portant matters for which the meeting
was called by Secretary OlneY, was to
consider the threatened raid upon the
treasury reserve by the Withdrawals Of
the large sums Of gold for export to Eu-
rope. Cabinet conferences OF that ma :
ture are EXCEPTIONAL and practically
without precedent, and nothing less
than q pressing emergency can account
for them. Such an emergency is be-
lieVed to exist Rs q consequence Of the
recent large exports Of gold abroad
which are regarded as breaking down
the barriers which the bond syndicate
have been able hitherto to interpose
against depletion Of the treasury gold
reserve. Should these Withdrawals Of
gold continue without immediate check
they will prove the entering wedge Of Q
successful raid and it will be impossible
to maintain the reserve without fur
ther issue Of bonds. The belief obtains
in well.informed circles that, since the
bonds of the last issue have been dsliv-
cred at London, the pressure for more
bonds and consequently additional
profits to the Belmont Morgan syndi.
cate, will be interposed and prove too
strong to be resisted in the event treas
ury gold shall be successfully drawn
out,

Wnere are they 20 come OUT aEtSF

Or view it from another standpoint;
The interest payable annually on the
above indebtedness by che pFoduCera
and laborers Of the country, for oil debts
and dues are paid by the labor and pro.
duCtion, swallows up the entire net re.
turns Of the whole agricultural and
mining industry OF the nation, including

the dilemma, there is q determination
abroad to maintain the present low
scals of prices among Us by the out
lawry Of half Of our standard money,
while the debt remains unabridged and
the same.
Still another problem: Il is settled
that foreign capitalists hold at least
5000 millions OF dollars Of bonds and
securities Of this country, and have an
other thousand millions invested in our
industries, mines, bEsWeries, mills and
elevators, railroads, newspapers, iron

Running with a Human Trolley.

The novel sight of man taking the
place of the trolley on an electric car
was seen last night on the Lake Roland
elevated railway. The trolley on one Of
the large electric cars in crossing Lex
ington street at North street had its
trolley wheel caught in the wire, and the
entire trolley apparatus was torn of,
falling to the street. The accident hap
pened at time when travel over the
road was heavy, and it was necessary to
prevent a blockade.
Lineman William Scott was equal to
the occasion. He procured piece Of in
sulated wire. and after stripping each
end of the insulating material connected
one end through the car roof and standing
on the top of the car held the other end
against the trolley wire. A connection
being thus made the car was run over
the elevated structure to the car barn at
Walbrook without accident to Mr.. Scott
or delay to the other cars. Mr.. Scotts
position was novel one and startled
persons who are unused to electricity Of
he stood on the top Of the car amid myr-
lads of sparks and illuminated by light
ninglike flashes from the trolley wire. =
