for the Farmers.

The Secretary of Agriculture last night
gave expression to the following reearuing
the recent rise in wheat:
The rise of wheat in Chicago and New
York markets during the last sixty days
is about twenty cents a busbel. This on Il
cropof450 900 900 busbelsmake $50, 900. :
QUO And at least zoe 100000 bushels of
this wheat are now owned by and in the
hands of American farmers. Thus, in less
than six days, wheat has made for its
producers about $40 100000.
During the same period silver has
declined two cents an ounce, from 6S to
&c cents. The alleged kinship of prices
for wheat and silver is disproyed.
Wheat is divorced from silver on the
lawful ground that the relation of supply to
demand is the sole regula tor of values and

Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British am
bassador, arrived in the city last evening
from New York. He reached this country
from England yesterday morning ON the

gestions looking TO an amicable settlement

Lord Salisbury has made him the bearer of

BRICKLAYERs OPPOSE THEM.
PASSES Resolution Against the Newly
{. r.,,.i u Ind DlnsinrnrS.

Organized PlaStererS.
Brcklayers Union, No. / at lis meeting
last night, ut Typographical Temple, IN
struCted iI> Delegates % the Central Labor
Union ana Bgildiug Trades Council To op-
pose the admission 10 those BODIES of the
new organization Of plastcrcfS.
This action on the part OF the brick!ayers
will IL is believed. have "a decided effect
upon the threatened rupturc between The
Central Labor Union and the Knights Of
Labor. The action of tiIr hrcklayers, who
form one of the strongest labor bodies in
tue District. WAS entirely unexpected. and
labor men say that the step will prov. inn
portant i'll the pending trouble.
From what could be learned about the
matter the union took Il positive stand
and refused To lend lis influence by silence
or Otherwise To any course OF action by any
labor body which is calculated 10 create
diSscntiun among the labor organizations
of the city.
The matter was brought up through
a communication from PlaStercrs' Assem-
bly, 1911. ~ of L., in which that boay
protested against the organization, and
recognition by labor unions, OF good re-
pute, OF Tie plaslererS' Union, when was
organized last Sunday. The subject was
discussed At length and with much feeling,
and resulted in the secretary being IN
structed To inform Assembly l644 that
the bricklayers did not undertake TO pass
judgment on the matter and referred them
to the Central Labor Union.
While THIS was regarded as the proper
attitude for Union No. / TO assume in the
matter So far as plasterers Assembly
I64I, X. Of l.. is concerned, sun, as
matter Of principle, they deemed 1t right
that SGme rurhe action should be taken
which would express the sentiment of the
union on the question.
This opinion was expressed in rcsolu-
tion Ia The effect that the dele gates from
the union to the Central Labor Union and
Building Trades Council be instructed to
protest against the admission of the new
PIastercrS' Union into those bodies.
The debate ON this resolution, it was
reported after the meeting, Was pointed
ana spirited and though the vote adopting
the resolution was not unanimous, it was
very decided.
1t is also reported that there was mucs
feeling shownin the matter with reference
to the part a very prominent member
Of the EriCklayerS' Union took in The or
ganization Of the plastercrs.
1t is believed by many members Of labor
organizations that it is bad policy 20 have
two bodies of the same trade in any city,
as the result must always be in favor of
the employer.
The Bricklayers Union ranks second III
numerical strength in the city, and il was
the opinion al many after the meeting that
its action in this matter would have n
decided effect.
The meeting last night was the first the
union has bel in its new quarters, and there
was large attendance. President William
II. MagiIan was in the chair ami besides Ih he
matter above referred to nothing OF public
interest was considered.

New Haven, Conn, Oct. 22.-The Yale
Union is to discuss tomorrow night the

question. THAT the character OF Mckinley
does that of Bryan
This is the first time in years that the
personal character Of any candidate has
formed a theme for discussion by the Yale
Union, which is the leading and official
debating society Of the university.
During The past few yspromincnt mem
bcrs OF the society have begun to fear that
in efforts TO win tue debate, the personal
character OF both of the candidates for
the presidency might be attacked. and
that the debate would generate into
personal abuse of the two men whose MINES
are to be prominent in the argument.
An effort is being made to have the sub
ject discussed with moderation tom orrow
night. but just how this can be achieved
is a question that has not been answered.

First Suit Growing Out of the Logan
Wreck Settled.

First Suit Growing Out of the Logan
Wreck Settled.
The first law suit growing out of the Logan
wreck was commenced and tried yes
terday morning in the county court
and judgment rendered in favor of
the plaintiff in the sum of $50,
the full amount asked. The plaintiff
was Harry Slavin, a boy, who represented
to the court in his petition that he was a
passenger on the fatal train. having pur-
chased a ticket at Logan which entitled him
10 be carried in safety as far as Council
Blufs. He alleged that instead of carrying
him safely. the Northwestern Railway COM
pany, by the carelessness and negligence
or its agents and employees" allowed the
excursion train upon which he was a pas
senger to collide with a freight train, killing
and injuring a large number of people. In
the accident the plaintiff alleged that he
sustained severe bruises about the head and
that the bones OF his right arm were broken.
For these injuries he asked damages in the
sum OF $50.
The railway company waived the service
OF summons and filed its answer instanter,
alleging that the defendant had no ticket
ana mad no business on the train, as II was
not a regular passenger train, and that he
was stealing a ride by getting into the bag
gage car, a place where passengers are not
allowed TO ride by the rules of the company.
The company denied any responsibility for
any damages the plaintiff might have re-
ceived.
The case was taken up for trial at once,
the only witness for the plaintiff being the
boy plaintiff himself, who testified to sub
stantially the same facts as were set forth
In the petition. The defendant did not in
troduce any testimony and judgment was
entered for the full amount.

JOINS BANDS WITH REPUBLICANS
Henry VI. Morrow Leaves the Demo-
cratic Party.

Henry VI. Morrow Leaves the Demo-
cratic Party
County Judge Baxter has received the fol-
lowing letter from Henry NJ. Morrow, who
is now in Georgia. Mr.. Morrow has been a
staunch democrat and has been honored
within the past few years with a demo-
cratic nomination on the local ticket:
FORT MCPHERSON, Ga, July 11.-My
Dear Judge: The action of the recent demo-
cratic convention has decided me to sever
my connection with that party and unite
myself with the republicans. The wedge
of radicalism that is to split democracy has
been hewn and placed in position. Bryan
has been selected to drive 1t in. The choice
of the wedge driver leaves no doubt as to
the sincerity of the wedge. By general
consent the money question is considered
paramount. The republicans have declared
for the present gold standard, the demo-
Gratis for the free and unlimited coinage of
both silver and gold at the present legal
ratio of 16 to l, without waiting for the
aid or consent of any other nation" ]
am without qualification for the present gold
standard. until such time as an international
ratio between gold and silver can be estab-
lished. In my opinion the enforcement of
the democratic financial plank would be
highly dangerous to our prosperity. Be
cause of its position on this supreme ques-
ton Of the hour ! have decided to leave
that party and henceforth act with the
republican party.
Although the one question of the money
standard would determine my future politi-
cal relations. a reading of the entire demo-
cratic platform alienates me even more
from sympathy with the principles of the
party.
The spirit of radicalism ruled the platform
makers. Democrats are now required to
believe in only that protection which is
necessary to raise sufficient revenue. This
does not declare for tariff reform, but when
interpreted in connection with the attack
on the supreme court and the demand for
an income tax, commits the party, not to
the Wilson bill, but to a tariff which shall
with rapidly blackening shades disappear
into the darkness of free trade. l am OPP
posed to the tariff and income tax planks.
By innuendo, President Cleveland's admin
istration is denounced for all that which
gives it a character worthy of becoming
history.
Radicalism has altered dominant and his
torlcal principles of the old democratic
party, until even populists are in accord
with them. A ~populist heart now beats
under the democratic garb. Former demo
cats are faced by the narrow choice OF
changing their party or their principles, of
becoming republicans or populists. | choose
the former alternative, and shall work
henceforth for republican success and ma
tional prosperity.
" HENRY NJ. MORROW.
