POLITICAL POINTERS.

Caesar, Cromwell and Napoleon
were in their day considered pow
erful, but the power exercised by
them over the expenditures of their
respective nations was not gre alter
than that now claimed for a sub
ordinate official of the United
States treasury. According to
this claim the comptroller has the
authority TO refuse payment of ap-
preparations made by congress and
approved by the president, when
ever he believes or makes pretense
of believing, that said payment
would be unconstitutional, and
the claimant has no redress or ap-
peal except TO enter Snit for the
amount claimed in the court of
claims. The first notice of this re
IlidihdDIe claim OF authority WAS
given several days ago, when a
voucher for about SD, 900 in favor
of the Oxnard Company, of Ne
braSka, manufacturers of beet su-
gar was held up by the Comptrol-
Ter, aad the company notified that
the company wonld hear argument
as to the constitutionality of the
act appropriating S23S, 900 to pay
the bounty on beet sugar manu-
factured before the repeal of the
bounty clause of the Mckinley
aw. The comptroller says he be.
ieves the sugar bounty law to
lave been unconstitutional. which

CROP BULLETIN.

The following is a synopsis of
the weather-crop bulletin issued
by the Missouri Weather service
for the week ending July goth:
Although ON several days the
weather was oppressively hot and
sultry, the mean temperature of
the week was very near the normal
in all sections. The precipitation
was decidedly in excess of the nor
NAL over the northern portion of
the slate, the total for the week at
many stations exceeding 4 inches,
and from l to 3 inches is reported
from stations in the cen trail coun-
ties, but in the southern sections
the rainfall was generally light.
In most of the northern counties
oats are about cut aud in some dis
tricts haying is nearly completed.
but In a number of counties work
was stopped by the heavy rains
and hay and grain considerably
damaged. Corn and orchards were
also injured to most remarkable
extent in a few localities by high
winds, and some damage by the.
overfiowing streams is reported in
Harrison and Livingston counties.
In the central portion of the.
state the rains appear to have been
been very local, and, while in some
localities but little farm work
could be done, and much grain is
still in the fields and in bad shape
in others stacking, thrashing and
haying have progressed fairly we'll.
High winds and hail did much
damage to crops in Washington
county and some damage is also
reported in few other localities.
In the southern counties the.
week was generally dry and stack
ing, thrashing and haying have
progressed favorably.
The conditions have been excel
lent for corn and that crop prom
lses a phenomenal yield. Early
corn is coming in roasting ear. All
other growing crops are also doing
we'll, although there has been a lit
lie too much rain for cotton, and
n a few counties there is COM
9lalnt that potatoes are rotting.
Oats are generally turning out
veil, though in some counties
BADLY damaged by wet weather.
some farmers are feeding the
'prouted wheat to hogs.
Fruits, as rule, continue in
,ood condition with the exception
hat grapes are rotting badly in
ONE counties.

The utilization of the water
power of Niagara Falls for indus
trial purposes, has been one of the
most daring and important pro-
iects of modern engineering In its
attempt it has engroSsed world
wide interest Scientists have
followed Its progress with keen
concern, and industrial countries
IN possession of water power facil-
tiles have watched the Niagara en-
terprise closely, as by its success
or failure their own possibilities
might be demonstrated. So that
from an engineering and industrial
stand point, the enterprise at Nj
agara has more than ordinary or
local Importance. This interest
reached its eliminating point when
the crucial test was made a few
days since. 1t was a success, and
and the transmission of power
from the central station to the
works of the Pittsburg Reduction
Company was conSumated to the
e ltire satisfaction of the experts
present. The results are describ-
ed as being perfect. There was no
hitch in any movement from the
turbines to the minutest part of the
electrical work. The connection
was made with the 800 horse pow
er transformer at the Pittsburg
works in thirty seconds, and in
that fraction of time everything
was moving at its utmost speed.
The result of this successful test is
not only a splendid encomium on
the character of the work done in
obstruction and equipment, but
conclusive triumph of masterly
enterprise.

The populists are much cha
grlnned over the latest phase of
the reorganization of the senate at
the beginning of the coming ses-
sion of congress They have been
confidently counting upon being
asked to join the repu blicans in
the reorganization and of course
receiving liberal share of the
committee chairmanships and of
the senate patronage. 1t has late
ly come out that many of the re-
publican senator's would much
rather not reorganize the senate
than to do it with the assistance
OF the populists. This wasn't
pleasing to the democrats, who do
not wish to retain control of the
committees without the power to
control votes enough to carry any
thing through, and some of them
have intimated to them their will
llngnesS to vote for a reorganiza-
tlon that will divide the chairman
shlps and the patronage between
the republicans and the democrats
leaving the populists out altogeth-
er. No one has authority to accept
this or any other proposition con-
cernlng reorganization until it
shall have been submitted to a
caucus of republican senator's. but
all the same its consummation is
probable enough to hive DESTROYED
-he extensive air castles which the
oopulists have been building ON
he belief that they would hold
he balance of power and could
ilctate their own terms for the re-
organization of the senate.

The mysterious cabinet meeting
has been the subject of much Cos
sip and of numberleSs rumors.
That the Spanish minister who
came to Washington about the
same time that Secretary Oiney
did, if he did not accompany him,
was the cause of this cabinet meet
ing is certain, and that it discuss
ed the Cuban revolution All else
is conjecture, owing to the air of
mystery with which those who at
tended the meeting have surround
ed themselves, although it is diff
icult to imagine any good reason
why there should be any secrecy
as to the position this government
occupies toward either Spain or
fhe revolving Cubans. Rumor
says the Spanish minister went so
far as to ask that those Ameri-
can editors who are disposed to
sympathize with the Cubans
should be muzzled by the secretary
Of state. The administration would
seem to have about all the muz-
zling it can attend to in trying to
shut the mouths of the silver dem
ocrats, without tackling the editors
OF the country, although Secretary
Olney is probably fully in accord
with the idea of a press censor
ship.

The K. p. Picnic.

Thursday morning dawned with
cloudy sky and the hard rain OF
the previous day had made paste
of the road, but nothing could
daunt the knights and their ladies
of No. - X. p. and at $50 a mer-
ry company followed the matchless
Kirksville band to Camp Collet.
The irrepressible band boys en-
livened the muddy way with in
strumental and vocal music of a
remarkably high order.
On arrival we found many
friends of the lodge assembled, but
owing to the lateness of the hour
the literary part of the program
was omitteds
Apollo Division gave short
drill, only a few participatingas the
gloomy weather caused many to
leave their uniforms at home. The
dinner hour found the camp dotted
all over with parties grouped in
picturesque circles, triangles and
squares and the merry laughter,
the sharp popping of pop bottles,
and the crunching of chicken bones
soon showed that the battle was
ON.
Magnificent was the charge,
complete the rout, and soon the
knights had formed an individual
circle around everything in reach,
much increasing their ro-
tundity and consequent dignity.
1t was found that Sir Knight
Sholly would expand so much as
to seriously interfere with his
balloon ascension, but when the
time arrived Sholly was on hand.
The balloon did not work perfectly
but the parachute jump was an
immense success, and as the brave
Sir Knight tioated majestically be-
jween heaven and earth and final
y descended over the place he
started from, and landed unhurt,
he welkin rank with the shouts

The Washington degree was
