local woodhaulers, is puzzling question
just now. Discussing the question on the
streets the other day, gentleman sug-
gested what he said was probable solu-
ton Of the matter. He put it this way {:
"While the nominal price of wood is
Sl.25 cord, as matter of fact but little
wood is sold about here at that price. 1t
has grown customary to call load cord
or half cord as the case may be. AS q
rule. private buyers don't measure their
wood, and the size of the load is not ques-
toned. In the case of the factory and
other large consumers, it is different.
They require that wood be corded up,
measure it carefully and decline to pay
for anything they don't get. AS the re-
suit, the small consumers, of course, are
preferable to the large ones."

The bulls of the Chicago wheat pit,
who had been having everything their
own way the week before, got it in the
neck last week. The price of wheat was
forced down 10 cents bushel within four
days. Many reasons are given for the
remarkable decline, and among other
things it is claimed that even upon the
very best collateral there was not enough
cash to be had in the city with which to
pay for the spot wheat that was all the
while coming into the market. The fight
between the bulls and bears is not yet
settled, and the price of wheat continues
to bob up and down.

Tone of Mr.. Bryan's curious objections
to the gold standard" says the st. Paul
Press, "is that the dollar will buy more
and more all the time. Isn't this rather
a good thing for the man with the dol
lar ?" 1t certainly is.-News and Courier.
Yes, yes; this is all very true, and it is
characteristic of most of the single gold
standard people. They look out for no
one but themselves. How is this constant
appreciation business going to benefit
the poor fellow who has not got the dol
lar; but is trying to get it with which to
pay his debts before they get beyond his
reach 4?

The attempt of the Covington mob
the other day, in the case of Mr.. Carlisle,
is to be deplored; but under the circum-
stances we cannot see that the mob is to
blame. The example was set by Mr..
Cleveland. We have seen quite num-
Der of instances lately where Federal Of
ficials have been either removed or asked
to resign for talking for free silver, and it
is notorious fact that officials who may
happen to be for gold are allowed to talk
as much as they will. The Covington
mob was evidently of opinion that what
was sauce for the goose should also be
sauce for the gander.

A few days ago there went out re-
port from Turkey to the effect that the
sultan had issued orders for the levy of 9
special tax upon each one of his $4,000, ,0Ot
subjects. The object of the tax, it was
said, was to arm all the Mohammedan
Turks with view to exterminating the
Christians in the empire. The London
Daily Telegraph of Sunday published a
cablegram from Constantinople saying
that the representatives of the six great
powers has just called upon the sultan
and demanded that he Immediately with

The German newspapers are devoting
a great deal of space to the discussion OF
the political situation in the United States,
and while some are unable to understand
how it is that most of the eastern Demo-
Gratis are standing shoulder to shoulder
with their old-time enemies-the Repub-
licans-the general opinion seems to be
that the present fight is very similar to the
fights that have gone before-merely a
contest for political pap.

Farmers who would take lesson
from the present manipulation of the
Chicago market, should SOW wheat.
Notwithstanding all that may be said to
the contrary, under present conditions
and conditions that are likely to prevail
in the near future, our people can raise
their own wheat cheaper than they can
buy it from abroad.

The mystery as to what has become of
Tom Watson's letter of acceptance has
not been solved yet. The letter was
mailed to Senator Butler at Washington ;
but Senator Butler claims that he has
never received it. A story has been pub
lished to the effect that the letter was reg
istered and that Watson has Buffers re-
ceipt; but this is not true. Watson, how
ever, kept copy of the letter, of course,
and it is promised that if Butler does not
give it to the public, he will. But this is
only surmise. In our opinion, Watson
and Butler either know or think they
know, what they are doing, and they are
not ready to let the public into the secret

BELLE MEINHART'S STORY.
She Figured in Public Before She De-
 parted to Die for Joseph Cuneo.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 31.-Belle Meinhart, who, according to a morn ing newspaper story, was about to shoot herself because her obdurate parents had declined to permit her to wed the man of her choice, is a young woman with a story. She resides with her parents, who are well-to-do peo- pie at 1912 Nebraska avenue. She has been known about town, however, as Daisy Mason" and it was under that name that she appeared as one of the principal witnesses for the prosecution of Robert Phillips, one of the burg lars who was convicted of robbing the shop of Pawnbroker Oppenheim on Grant avenue, some months ago. Phil lips at the time of his arrest was living with Daisy Mason at Pine and Califor- nia They were both taken into cus- tody, and were in jail when the police captured Phillips mpanion, Buck Kelly. The woman turned upon Phil lips, the police say, to save herself from prosecution upon another charge, and the result was his conviction. Since then the accomplice has pleaded guilty, and both will appear for sen- tence before Judge Belcher on Sat1r- day next
 At the time of her arrest the woman was said to be engaged to Joseph Cuneo, the young man on whose ac- count she said she wanted to die.

SEVERE COMMENTS.
Irish Paper Uses Strong Language to
 the Queen.

DUBLIN, Aug. 31.-The Kilkenny Journal, commenting on the release of John Daily, the Irish political prisoner, from Portland prison, says: "The red Indians torture of the captives is humane when compared with the tor ture inflicted upon Daly in England. !"
 The periodical mentioned refers to the allusion in the queens speech to the outrages in Armenia, and adds:
 1.-The queen can find nearer home more vent for her hypocritical tears than among the KWds," and asks: Where's the queens clemency? Daly was released few months before death would have released him, and three others have been driven mad by torture in penal servitude compared with which Siberian exile is drawing room Imprisonment. This is the way Victoria wishes to signalize her reign. She would not have been a loss to the victims of her brutal rule in Ireland if she had gone years ago. At the pres ent moment she knows that she is standing in the way of those who wish to see her in her royal sepulcher, and she has neither the grace to abdicate nor the humanity to open her prisons to Irishmen until they precede her on the voyage from which none return.

INDIANAPOLIS Aug. s1.-The del egates to the gold standard Demo- cratic National convention began to arrive this morning and the talk of candidates became more general, but nothing developed early in the day to indicate which way the tide might turn. Elorida caused much comment by telegraphing to have her banners painted with a picture of Cleveland and the words, Our Choice, upon it. Some delegates are opposed to making the nomination, but the indications are they will be in a hopeless minority. Perry Belmont was among the arrivals today. He came as locker on, but he will possibly hold a proxy from New York
 Senator Villas will not permit the use of his name iD connection with the presidential nomination, was the news brought here today by Ellis B. Usher, of Wisconsin. MT.

VOYAGE OF THE FOX.
Reception at Havre of the Tiny Craft
 Described by Consul hanncellor.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-Dr. Chan cellor, the American consul at Havre, has sent to the state department an elaborate report on the successful voy- age of the rowboat Fox across the Att lantic, illustrated by photographs of the two seamen, Harbo and Samuel son, as they arrived and several days later and characteristic scenes of their greeting in Havre. The consul says they accomplished the voyage from New York to Sciily, nearly 5000 miles, in fifty-five days, thus establishing a record in daring seamanship and hu- man endurance hitherto unknown to the world. The success of the enter prise will at least serve to inspire con- fidence and hope in those who from one cause or another may thereafter be forced to resort to pen boats on the open sea. The consul describes the approach of the Fox, which was sig nailed some hours before her arrival at Havre, and as she entered the dock opposite the consulate, the stars and stripes defaced and tattered, but glori- ous even in rags, floating proudly at the stern, as fir ejoicing in this new and hard-won victory on the sea. As they were destitute, the consul gave them food and clothes out of the fund for destitute American seamen in for tign ports.

MAY NOT CONFIRM.
The New Secretary of Interior Not ir
 Favor With Senators.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-The ap- pointment of ex-Governor Francis to succeed Secretary Smith in the cabinet is the topic of the day. It is generally agreed among these best informed on political matters here that Francis triumph ovor his political foes in Mis- souri will be short-lived as it is not believed that the senate will confirm him.
 It is we'll known that Francis is a mortal enemy of both senators from Missouri and should they so decide the senate will certainly refuse to con- firm him. The policy which President Cleveland has mapped out has made certain that the supporters of the Chi cago platform will spare no effort to embarrass the remaining term of the administration and the appointment of Francis has placed weapon in the hands of the presidents opponents which they will scarcely fail to use.
