Construction Has Ceased on the Kansas
City, Pittsburg and Gulf Railway.
TExARKANA, Ark, Aug. 2S.-Con.
styuction of work on the Kansas City,
Pittsburg and Gulf railway will be sus-
pended on Aug, 81. An order has been
received by the head of the construc-
ton department to suspend all work on
the southern end of the road after that
date. The order comes from officials at
Kansas City and will throw 5000 men
and 1900 teams out of employment The
cause given for the suspension is the con
tinued agitation of the financial aues-
ton and want of confidence In the fu.
ture outlook by investors. The con-
struction work will remain suspended
until after the November election.
General Manager w. A. Williams,
when asked about the north end, said
that appropriations had been voted for
the work now being done and the pres
emit contracts would be finished up, but
he doubted if any new work would be
let after the contracts now in force had
been completed

W. G.. FoRMAN, eX-Congressman
from Illinois and nominee on the
sound money ticket for Attorney
General of that State, has written
an open letter to Gov. AItgeld max
ng some very serious charges
against the latter. The most
damaging Of Mr.. Forman's charges
is to the effdet the Gov. Altgeld bor-
rowed State funds from State
Treasurer Ramsay, paying no
interest, and that he was in debt
to that official at the time of
Ramsays death. The charges are
accompanied by the assertion that
although Ramsey himself had ad
mitted that he had loaned State
moneys to the governor, and the
vaults, upon Ramsay's death, we're
sealed according to custom, the
governors due bills were not found
therein when it came time to break
the seals. "A suspicious person, "
says Mr. Forman, might suppose
that by some means the great seal
of the State of Illinois, between the
time it was affixed and the time at
which by law it was required to be
broken, had previously been broken
and your due bills and those OF Mr.
Laneeart been withdrawn and re-
placed with either currency brought
by Mr.. Hinrichseu or checks fur.
nished by Durfee.
Commenting on these charges
the Chicago Record, an Independent
newspaper with free silver proeliy-
titles, says.
These charges arc too grave to
be passed by. They are now formu-
lated by an individual aecuser who
takes the responsibility for his
words aud presumably has presented
the strongest case possible. Gov.
AItgeld is in Colorado, but doubt
he will take an early opportunity to
reply.

that question.
Despite his attitude and avowal,
Colonel Morrison has decided To
advocate the election of Bryan aud
Sewall on the platform he opposed.
1t is not difficult to anticipate the
reason Colonel Morrison will give
for his action. 1t is because Colonel
Morrison is such a good Democrat

Democracy that he feels bound to
support the Democratic ticket on a
platform with which he agrees in all

which he agrees in no point, but
which represents rank Republican

HOP CROP SHORT.
Reports as Received by the American

Reports as Received by the American
ASriculturalist at Boston
BosToN, Aug. 28.-The American Ag-
ioulturist, in this weeks issue, says:
For the first time in three years
some improvement in hop prospects is
at length in sight. Special reports
received from the Pacific coast
show that in that section there will be
only about half as many hops as last
year In New York state the crop will
be fully one-third less than last season.
In England the reduction is estimated
conseryatively at 90 to SO per cent of the
1895 crop. Should these present condi-
tions be verified by the actual harvest,
it means that the 1896 crop in these
three sections will be between 1875, 900
and ESQ, 900 bales less than last years
growth. Prospects at this writing GER
tainly warrant the belief that the heavy
reduction in the 1896 product will go far
toward compromising for the large sur
plus of old hops and in the hands of
dealers and buyers, and the market is
shaping itself into more hopeful con-
