The free silver Democrats of Port
land. Oregon, being in almost unani-
nous majority, nominated q man of
their views for Congress. The bank
ing interests there are or not going to
allow this, so they have called con-
vention to nominate an independent
Democratic candidate. This will, by
making big noise, take enough votes
of the ignorant to defeat the silver
Democrat and elect the goldbug Re.
publican. This is the game the
Pacific railroads played scores of
times. When some one got the nom
nation OF the dominant party and
they could not buy him, they proceed
ed to have their hangers on and hire
lings raise great cry against him,
then call another convention and
nominate some tool Of the same par.
ty, thus dividing the vote and elect
ing the minority candidate whom
they could control. Direct Legisla-
ton would cure all such disorders. As
we'll have the sultan OF Turkey make
the laws as the money mongers who
are robbing the people today and cor
rupting the public by methods of
bribery. The gold men will do this
every where, except where some gold
bug Is sailing under the free silver
banner. They know their men. They
love traitors.-The Appeal to Reason.

TRADE WAITS ON THE CROPS"

Dun's commercial agency decides that
perity until the farms give us q lift. All
the old campaign panaoeas have failed,
and TRADE waits on the crops"
The silver purchase act has been 10
pealed, amid wholesale prophecies of i'm
mediate prosperity; and yet, three years
after repeal. prosperity is farther away
than ever, and Trade waits on the
crops"
We have had three successive gold
bond issues, each Of them accompanied
by the loud prophecies of the gold dailiss
and Of the political and commercial mag
mates, that prosperity waits on the bond
issue, and now we are worse OF than
ever, with a fourth bond issue In sight,
and Trade waits on the crops"
We were informed In 1894 that the cleo
ton of Republican congress would be
promptly followed on the day after the
election with the return Of old-tims pros
perity, and after an overwhelming RE-
publican congress has sat through one of
the most extravagant and dismal sessions
in history, the country Is worse off than
in 1894, and, "Trade waits on the crops"
1t was announced six months ago that
the salvation OF the country depended
upon the act of the Republican conven-
tons going in favor Of Mckinley, and,
again. that prosperity hung upon the Re-
publican conventions going for "the ex-
listing gold standard" The Republican
conventions have gone for both McKin-
ley and the gold standard. and business
failures are more numerous than last
year or the year before. stocks are fall
ing, and is capital retreating, and,
TRADE is waiting On the crops.'
In short the country has had all the
panaceas that Wall street and G. o. P.
prophets called for, and today, after three
years Of their panaceas, the patient Is
sicker and bluer than before it began TAX
ing the panaceas, and the doctors retire
from the hospital, with the announce
ment, Trade waits on the crops"
But what matters It that the country
gets crops which burst the granaries, II
the prices are such that the producer Is
poorer than befoe he began seeding? The
crops OF last year were tremendous, and
trade Is worse In 1895 than in 1895. The
fact faces us that, under the existing
gold standard" no one prospers except
the mortgage, and even the mortgage
finds values so depressed that Vt does not
pay to foreclose the mortgage. We wait
and whistle, and wait and prophesy, and
Trade waits on the crops,' while pros
perity is travelling to Japan and Mexico.
These nations recognize and maintain
the American standard Of free coinage,
and are enjoying the old-time American
prosperity; while we drift into European
conditions under the European gold
standard.-Penny Press.

Brunswick, y. J., June 26.-Somebody
had been giving an imitation Of buzz
saw in full blast for several nights in
the apartment house at No. 211 Burnet
street. There are a good many fam
lies in the house, and those who were
kep, awake by the noise OF a mans

person responsible for the nerve de-
stroying noise. After several nights
Mar,in Albert. a band leader and cor
r5c player, who enjoyes the esteem of
his neigh0Crs, because ne never prac-
tees at home, located the noise at the
door OF John Barry'S room.
Mr. Barry is neither prominent, nor
is he a wealthy member OF the commun-
ity; he is a plain citizen, but he has a
prOdigious capacity for snoring. Mr..
Alberc pleaded with Mr.. Barry to take
some hing for his trouble. but Barry
said he slept better for snoring, and
couldn't help il,
That did not satisfy Mr.. Albert, so he
went before Recorder Sullivan yester-
day and charged Barry with bsing
nuisance and a Gisturber of the peace
and Quie il the vicinity OF No. 211 Bur-
net street. Recorder Sullivan thought
enough of the case to send Policeman
Needham after Barry, and the snorer
was in court in The afternoon. He said
in his own defence that if he snored he
did not know it, and what was more,
he did not intend to stay up nights TO
prevent ii.
Recorder Sullivan could not find any
law under which he could hold Barry,
and Mr.. Albert could not suggest plan
20 stop the racket. The Recorder ask
ed Mr.. Albert what Barry's snore was
like. I he complainant being music
ian. answered: Well, Judge, that
snore is away up in G. He diminuen-
does. strikes a cantabile movement,
takes a crescendo neatly, and then
catches his breath Cl the retard as if
he had a small circular saw in his lar
nyx. When he gets his second wind,
he begins well down on the bass clef,
then bursts with a fine Wagnerian
finale that cracks the wall paper in my
roor above him. Oh, he is rare per-
former. Judge. and as a cOrnetist, envy
his wind" Notwithstanding all this,
Recorder Sullivan discharged Barry.

The monument is to be placed in Mon
roe Park, which is in the fashionable

duplicated.
Richmond, Atlanta, New ORLEANS

the bast offer, from a financial point OF
view. thai will be made Richmond

CORNELL WON EASILY.
Four Miles Covered in the Record Break
ing Time of 70 Minutes and 30 Seconds.

Poughkeepsie, n. W., June 26.-The
Harvard, Cornell, Columbia, Pennsyl
vania four-mile straight-away boat
race on the Hudson to-day was won
by Cornells eight in the phenomenal
time of 10 minutes % seconds; Harvard
second. Pennsylvania third and Colum-
1ia fourth. Cornell won the freshman
race two days ago, inwhichthe order
finishing was strangely the same. The
race was a hard one for two miles,
but after that Cornell had it their own
way. Harvard tried their old scheme
of firing out Cornell at the start, but
it failed. Cornell rowed clean race,
ard without break Of any kind. Penn
sv,vania splashed and rowed badly and
Columbia for some unknown reason
was not in the race after the first quar-
ter mile. Harvard rowed pluckily, but
was Outclassed.
The conditions were favorable. The
water was smooth, the wind undisturb-
irg and the ebb tide in favor of very
good time.
The record breaking time of the race
was in a measure due to the ebb tide
that was quite effective, but it is be-
lieved that the time-keepers, unable
to see any flag at the finish, have made
an error. The watches IN the press car
in the observation train made the time
of Cornell between 1919 and 2O:O4,
and the watches or the Associated
Press loop at each mile started
and stopped by electrical. con-
nection made the time similar to
this. No watch that can be found tai
lies with the official time. This does
not detract from COrnelvs victory, as
She has. with any of the time taken,
broken the record.
The official time as given is: Cornell.
10 minutes 90 secords; Harvard, 10
minutes 80. seconds; Pennsylvania, 20
