Mahogany, cut from the forests dis

been within the past year, but prices
have already fallen 20 per cent. A car

whereas 1t has been a common thing
for mahogany to sell at auction in Liv-

Heretofore the principal sources of
supply have been the forests of Gen.

Brazil. Already IL. OO0, 0O0feet have been
cut and exported from Africa. and the

in Omaha Wednesday morning at 1925,

was cut off by the bandits and sent for
ward while they looted the train. The
engine went on to Gothenburg for assist
ance. The robbers blew up the express
car with dynamite. While they were using
the engineer to get the express car open
the fireman ran off with the engine to
Gothenburg for assistance. The country
in the vicinity of the holdup is fairly well
settled. All were heavily armed and a
conflict is probable.

somewhat Large Shrinknge Due to
July Imitation.
r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of
trade says: The volume. Of business
shrank, as is natural in August, and the
shrinkage seems rather larger than usual,
because transactions in July were some
what inflated for that month. Some in
dustries did more than ever before in
August, and the prospect for fall trade is
good in others, although much depends
on the crops, and the outcome is less clear
than spectators on either side are dis
posed to admit. Industrial troubles have
not entirely ceased, but have become
much less threatening.

Demand for Corn.

A London correspondent talked with
several leading experts ut the Baltic Ex-
change, the headquarters Of the British
corn trade, on the prospects of the British
corn crop and the amount of American
corn likely to be required. Some promin-
ent brokers declared that the River Platte
holds the key to the situation, and reports
from there promised d very large surplus
crop of both maize and wheat. The
Danube district also reports on immense
crop, as against an abnormally small one
last season, and the view generally ex-
pressed was that however low American
prices may be the Danube will undersell
them. The British crop Is expected to be
generally below the average, but brokers
could not hazard an opinion on the prob
able amount OK American that will be re-
quired. Last year the imports of Ameri-
can corn were only 25,5O7, 755 bushels.
This year there ought to be four or FIVE
times as much. But the best informed
opinion, so far as ii has taken shape at
oil, points to excessively low prices next
season, though 1t is admitted that the
Americans msy succeed in putting up
prices, If conditions be favorable, Sy the
same means as those adopted last spring.

Even the excitement of the Senatorial
contest should not be allowed to prevent
the investigation, through the medium
of the two contested election cases now
before the Senate, of the charges of
fraud and corruption at the last election.
That investigation should be started
and carried to n conclusion, no matter
what else may or may not be accom-
plished at this session.
The investigation should be thorough
and impartial. 1t should not be con-
fined to the allegations of one party
only. A partisan investigation merely
would defeat the end sought to be &C.
complished-a thorough reform in the
manner of conducting elections in this
State.
In pursuing their labors on this line,
the members of the Senate should give
heed to the familiar adage, SLEW to the
line; let the chips fall where they will"
Democratic corruption should be ex-
posed, as we'll as Republican corruption.
The evil is the same, no matter which
political party was guilty of it. The
complete eradication of the pernicious
system is what the people want, and thi;
can be only accomplished by going right
down to the bottom Of the trouble and
tearing it up completely, root and
branch.
Let the Senate proceed with the con,
test and the investigation, without delay
Let it open the doors to the admission
Of sworn testimony in support Of al
charges of corruption, by Democrats a:
well as by Republicans. And when the
extent Of the evil is thus made known
let the remedy be applied, without fear
or favor.
