the DIR. Taylor faction, which Taylor
resented. The lie was passed and in

on the floor. DR.. Taylor was thrown
down twice. He used his fists to g ood

DEATH TO HALF A SCORE.
1t Came Because of a Cloudburst in Ken
tuckY-Two Families Drowned.

LOUISVILLE, KY, July 90. Reports
from Frankfort, KY, state that
clondburst Tuesday morning at
o'clock on Benson creek, four miles
from Frankfort, resulted in the drown
ing of at least ten people. The drowned
are: James Bradley, farmer, his
wife and five children, and Mrs. Bry-
ant, widow, and two small children.
Other bodies may also be found.
Benson creek comes out of the west
ern portion of the county, crosses vari-
Gus turnpikes, then crosses the rail-
road four miles from town and comes
down alongside the railroad till it
empties into the middle of the town.
Mrs. Bryant kept tollgate near the
bridge. The little dollhouse was right
on the creek and just across from
James Bradley's and not far from her
fathers, Squire Moore. The Conway
mill, just above, was the first to go.
Its timbers must have swept away the
Bryant and Bradley houses. These
houses must have hit the railroad
bridge two miles. below, as no mill
timbers are seen below. The bridge
was swept away with terrible force.
Everything about it except the main
abutment is gone
Ten minutes after the cloudburst,
Benson creek, which empties into the
Kentucky river Immediately below
town, was mad, swollen river, cover
ing the valley on either side and sweep
ing everything before it. The first
thing to go was the L. & n. bridge,
across the creek, about three miles
from town. 1t was new bridge on
new masonry, but the superb struct'
ure was not fastened down and it was
carried away like chaff before the
wind. The first train out of Frankfort
in the morning was warned before il
reached the dangerous gap and re-
turned to town with its passengers.

that organization, was fruitful topic
Of discussion in labor circles yester-
day. This assembly, composed of glass
workers, has for years, numerically
and financially, been the strongest
trades union connected with the
Knights of Labor. A check for over
$1,000, the amount of the delinquent
per capita tax, together with charter,
insignia and paraphernalia, has been
surrendered. The decision was reached
late Monday evening by the glass
workers convention which is in ses-
sion here.
The convention is now discussing the
advisability of joining the new knights
of Labor. The choice lies between the
American Federation of Labor and the
Independent Order of Knights of
Labor, with sentiment apparently
favorable to the latter. Master Work
man Sovereign and Secretary Treasur-

Cause or Free silver Craze.

The causes of the free silver craze are
thought by the Baltimore Sun to be
"the same which caused the greenbock
heresy to find advocates in SO many
states of the union 20 years ago-the
feeling OF unrest and desire for a
change, no matter what, produced by
hard times, bad business and lack of
employment-the desire, conscious or
unconscious, of debtors to scale the ir
debts by paying them in deprecated
currency-the vague idea that more
money in circulation means more
money in each individuals pocket, with
out reference to his means or opporfu-
nifty to earn or acquire it,"

HOW TO SETTLE 1T.
Only One Way Out OF the Silver Question,
Says ConEressman Warner.

EX-Congressman John De Witt War
ner opposes ex-Congressman Richard z.
Bland in discussion of the money
question in the New York Journal of
July 1. Unlike many eastern men, Mr..
Warner has n high opinion of the abil-
ity, character and motives of the silver
people. He thinks that both the leaders
and those in the ranks of the sixteen
to one army are earnest, Industrious,
sober and God-fearing American citi-
zens, who are smarting under actual
grievances as to the real cause of which
they are greatly mistaken. We quote
the following as part of Mr.. Warmers
views.
This proposed law to make people
accept silver is not asked for by any
body who wants silver. 1t is just be-
cause people do not want silver and
will not take it unless compelled to do
so that our free silver friends want n
law to make them take it. The only
people who want the law are, therefore.
not those who wantsilver, but those who
want to get rid of silver, or who, owing
gold and thinking they can buy silver
mere cheaply, want to make their cred
itors take it instead. 1t may be said
that, as to future matters, we could
make special contracts calling for gold.
That is just what they can do now in
regard to silver. AS matter of fact, a
large and increasing proportion of con-
tracts do provide specially for payment
in gold. 1t is significant that no one
hno of ci1,n,. ha ;e
no one prefers silver except for the pur-
pose of forcing it upon some one else.
"The most serious feature of the pres
ent situation is not so much the predica-
ment in which we find ourselves as the
apparent disposition in both parties not
TO take the only way out, which, if I
may suggest it, is to accept the situa-
tion that the commerce of the world
las created for itself, to recognize it's
general acceptance of the gold stand
| ard, and, leaving to commerce the
things that belong to commerce, to re-
sist any attempt at interference either
| by cur own government independently
| or by any combination between it and
| those of other nations.
personally l believe gold to be far
| superior to any other standard that is
even remotely practicable, but if our
commerce preferred silver should con.
slider it measureless impertinence or
the part of congress to interfere with
that preference. And so, certain as
am that our commerce finds it moro
profitable and natural to use gold as 6
standard, l am all the more opposed
TO any attempt by congress to interfere
with the natural course of business
Bad as would be the effect oil
free silver, more and more of us are
concluding that a few years of appre
hension and financial paralysis, sucl
as we have had, would be more dam
aging than the actual experience o.
free coinage of silver, q trial of which
would at least establish certain fact
and destroy sundry delusions."

FARM PRODUCTS.
Prices Have Fallen Because of Increas
Production All Over the World.

Prices Have Fallen Because of Increased
Production All Over the World.
Q. Is it true that the price Of wheat
and many other farm products has fall
en heavily? A. II is.
@. How are such declines, in wheat,
for instance, to be explained? A. BY
the enormously rapid increase in grain
growing area throughout the world.
Q. Has this increase been especially
rapid since 1872? A. The increase in
grain growing area in this period, es-
pecially in North America, South Amer
lea and Asia, has never been approached
in any equal period in the history of the
world.
Q. How do we judge of actual compe-
tition in the sale of wheat? A. By
the supplies thrown annually on Che
worlds great distributing markets.
@. What market in particular? A.
England, where most of the buying ma
tions go to purchase their grain.
@. What are the figuresP A. AS re-
Gently as 1880 Great Britain imported. i.
for consumption and reeNport, 55,261,'
024 hundredweight of wheat--a large
increase over the preceding annual aver
age. In 1895 it imported s1,749,955
hundredweight.
@. What has made possible this re-
markable increase in wheat pro6uc-
ton? A. The exceedingly rapid de-
velopment of transportation facilities
in newly cultivated grain countries;
among them India, Russia and the Ar
gentine Republic.
O. Has there been an increase in the
United States itself? A. An enormous
increase.
Q. How large? A. In 1875 there
were 26,3S1,512 acres of wheat culti-
waited in this country; in 1891 there
were 39,916,s97, an increase of so per
cent The yield of 1875 was 292, 1885,
COO bushels, heavy increase over pre-
ceding years. In 1891 the yield was
Gil ,7S9,0OO. Even lest year, with a
greatly reduced acreage and n partial
crop failure, the yield was 467, 100000
bushels.
O. Has the yield of other crops in
creased correspondinglyT A. 1t has
@. Give instances. A. The cult
yated area of corn in the United States
in 1871 was 34,091, ,137 acres; IN 1881
il was 76,2o4,515; Increase, 124 per cent
The yield of corn last year was more
than double that of anT year prior to
1878. Both the acreage and the average
annual yield of oats have doubled since
1871. Our cotton crop IN 1894 was sc
per cent. greater than IN any year prior
to 1887.
@. Was decline in grain and cotton
prices under such conditions inev
liable? A. AS inevitable as decline il
the price of clothing or furniture ol
books or steel rails or pins when compe
tition in their manufacture has extend
ed enormously.
@. Would free coinage help the pro
ducers of grain to large profit under
such conditions? A. Not in the least
@. Why not? A. Because if the nom
inal price of grain We're to rise through
imitation of the currency the price o.
everything else would rise also, and the
farmer would he relatively no better of
than he was before.--N. Y. Evening

more harvest hands for the wheat crops,
which are heavy throughout western

valley will not be ready for helpers so
soon, but the crops up there will need
attention as soon as the heavier crops
along the line of the Hastings and Da-

IRON MINES CLOSE.
Break In Prices Followed by Shutdown
of Lake Superior Mines.

of Lake Superior Mines.
IsHPEsING, Mich, July 22.-The ore
shipments from Lake Superior and
Lake Michigan ports up to June 80 ex-
ceeded the heavy shipments of last
year by over 100000 tons. 1t now ap-
pears that the purpose of this heavy
shipment was to get rid of the ore on
hand and to have nothing left when
the slump in prices came, as it has
now. All the mines are getting ready
to make retrenchment in the matter
of mining, the largest being that of
the Metropolitan Land and Iron Co.,
owning and operating the Norrie, East
Norrie and Pabst mines at Ironwood,
which have produced about 1000, 900
tons of ore year for the last five years.
After two reductions of the working
force heroic measures have been taken
and the mines are practically closed,
throwing nearly 1900 men out of en-
ployment. Other mines are getting
ready to close and the operators hol d
out no hope of reopening.
