WASTING OUR NATIONAL WEALTH

During the five years lS70-7l, the
planters of the United States raised 8,
630, $50 pounds of cotton, estimated
by the Agricultural Department to have
been worth $l,491, 467 900. For the
five years lS90-94, 1882, 026,0S
pounds of cotton were produced in the
United States of an estimated value to
the planter OF Sl,503, PSI ,271. The
planters during the last period raised
? 400 pounds of cotton where they
raised one in the first, but they only re-
ceived $40 of | per cent more for the
27-100 pounds of cotton in the years
lS90-94 than they did for the ! pound
of cotton for the years 1904. Cot
ton had fallen over 55 per cent. If the
cotton growers had realized prices cur
rent during the years 1904 for the
crops raised in the years lS90-94, they
would have received $3.50, 9GO,5l2 in
stead of 81, SOB, PSI, 27l.
During the five years 1904, the
farmers of the United States raised =
3O5, 96l 600 bushels of wheat, valued
at 81 ,4Gl 1853, $40, while for the crops
of wheat harvested in the five years
lS90-94, amounting to 1883, 800, III
bushels, the farmers received $1,000
1876. In other words, S25-l00O
Bushels of wheat were raised in the
second period for every one in the first,
but the farmers Only received 10 per
cent, more in money for crop 50 per
cent. greater in quality, Wheat had
fallen 39.7 per cent, so instead of re-
alizing 81, 667, Ol3, 567 for their crops
of wheat in the second period, which
they would have done if they had re-
ceived prices current in the first period,
they received only 81 SOC, 43l $40

the years 1904, amounting to $780,

the production of wool amounted to l..

DOwncast.

Downcast.
Little Rock, Ark, Oct. 14-The United
Press correspondent found the governor
this morning thoroughly determined to
prevent the prize fight at all hazards
He says that the action of the circuit
judge and the sheriff of Garland county
now makes it matter of state concern
and renders him primarily responsible
for its suppression. He is still hope
full that those in charge Of the prize
fighting enterprise will abandon all
further attempt to bring it about here
If, however, this does not prove the
case, their efforts can only be inter-
preted to mean that they intend to re-
sist with force the efforts of the officers
to prevent it. In this aspect of affairs
the prize fight will drop out of view and
the contest will be one between the
power Of the state and that of the in
vading forces of the prize fighting con-
tingent. The governor has no doubt Of
the result of q conflict between these
That the authority and the dignity of
the state will be maintained goes with
out saying. If this should not prove to
be the case and the prize fight takes
place, in spite of the efforts of the Off
GERS and the people, the governor says
he will resign his office and in future
leave the enforcement of the laws and
their resistance to invasion to more
competent hands.

as he has no confidence in the state
ments that the fight will be pulled off
at Hot Springs, and that protection is
guaranteed.
FL Paso, Tex, Oct. 14.-A report from
the City of Mexico received here this
morning says that President Diaz has
decided that the Corbett- -Fitzsimmons
fight on the border Is matter for the
state government to manage and
therefore he has left it with the gov
ernor Ahumada, of Chihuahua. 1t is
regarded here as settled that the fight
will come off at Juarez. The town is

DURANT TALKS,
Says That lie Still Has Much Good
Testimony in Reserve.

San Francisco. Oct. 14.-Durant was
this weeks ordeal. He did not think
the defense would close tomorrow, as he
said it had several witnesses who had
not yet testified, though it might be the
intention of his attorneys to hold them
for rebuttal. He said two of the wit
nesses the prosecution had for rebuttal
had tried to get money out of the de-
fense for information they said they
had which would be useful. Who these
witnesses were he would not say.
Durant stated that Adolph Hobe. the
witness who said he saw him at the
ferry with girl he thinks was Minnie
Williams, had a grudge against him.
While they were going to school Hobe
informed on him for an offense and that
in retaliation he whipped Hobe."
Durant said he did not understand
the purpose of District Attorney Barnes
in regard to the alleged statement in
an envelope addressed to his attorneys
not to be opened except in event of his
conviction. He said there was nothing
to the story and he could not see the
purpose of 1t. 1t was suggested that
probably District Attorney Barnes
would try to show that he had pre-
pared a final antemortem statement
for the benefit of his counsel. This led
Durant to remark that he believed a
man who would commit suicide to be q
coward. He said there was no danger
that he would seek such an escape from
his troubles, even should they come to
the worst

NO VOICE FOR REVISION.
The Prevailing Sentiment Is Desire to
Shcivc the Matter So as to Avoid Givtng
Offence.

MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi, Oct. 4.-After Sc
curing the adoption of resolution pro-
viding for final adjournment on Tues
day of next week the opposition to re-
vision, in the house of deputies of the
Episcopal convention made another
strenuous effort today to lay over the
new constitution and canons for three
years or until the triennial convention
at Washington.
Debate upon this proposal. which oc-
cupied the entire afternoon session ana
was unfinished at adjournment. was
precipitated by two propositions, one
referring back the revision to the joint
committee that brought 1t into eXis-
tence for further consideration and for
amendment and the other referring the
bishops revision of the commissions
revisions to a special committee with
instructions to report at the next con-
ference.
OF the score of more of speakers not
a voice was raised in favor of proceed
ing farther with the revision at this
convention, the one prevailing sent-
ment being the desire to so shelve the
matter as to avoid giving offense to
the bishops who have been Industrious
ly laboring upon their own revision for
nearly two weeks. and have looked for
prompt action on the part of the house
below as a section was sent down. The
deputies may find "a way out of the
dilemma tomorrow by adopting both
resolutions, which will mean two re-
ports for the conference of 1898 and will
put off a final vote to the trennial Of
1901. The only important feature of the
morning session was the effort to re-
introduce the titles of "Prmate' or
presiding bishop" into the constitu-
tion. The house was as firm on this
point however as 1t WAS a week ago,
and reafIirmed the designation 'presid-
ing officer of the house OF bishops"
Another effort to give the delegates
from missionary jurisdictions the right
to vote was also defeated, although the
clause as finally passed confers upon
them all other rights and privileges en-
joyed by regular delegates.
Just before adjourning this afternoon
the bishops agreed to erect a new mis-
sionary jurisdiction in Northern Min
nesota to be presided over by a bishop
of Duluth.
