Prospects Appear to Ee Good Throughout
Europe.
WASHINGTON, May l9.-The foreign
statistics gathered by the agricultural
department snow the crop conditions
throughout Europe. The summary fol-
lows:
Great Britain-The crop outlook ev-
erywhcrc is good and promises IA har-
vest about two weeks earlier than usual.
This would dimish the imports for the
remainder of the current cereal year by
about 5000, 900 bushels.
France-With normal weather until
harvest the wheat crop will more than
suffice for home requirements. A sur
plus is confidently predicted by French
agriculturist journals and s~tatisticians.
Austria-H uugary-The weather has
been favorable and the crop promises
| well.
Roumania-Cold weather in April re-
tarded the crops. But the outlook is
generally promising.
Russia-Excellent prospects of a crop
above the average in quantity and
quality are generally reported. The
u~nfavorable March weather in the
South is found to have done no serious
damage. Spring sowings have been
completed under good conditions.

Tied to Trees, Soaked with Kerosene.
 and Turned Into Bonfires. \ Madrid, Sept. 25-A dispatch to the Imparcial from Hong Kong says that steamers which have arrived there from Manila, the capital of the Philp- pine islands, brings the announcement that Cavite is occupied by 15,000 insur- gents.
 Over 100 monks have been murdered in the islands since the beginning of the insurrection. Many of the victims have been fastened to trees, their clothing having been soaked with kerosene oil, and then ignited and have been put to death.
 Rich relatives are arrested daily. Documents have been seized by the au- thorities in which are given the names of the president and the various other officials of the proposed republic.
 The government is making prepara- tions to send 5000 additional troops to the Philippine islands at once and to increase the garrison on the Island of Fernando Pc.

ACCIDENTAL ToMLINsoN BRIDGE
Armature Burned Out, Stopping the

Armature Burned Out Stopping the
 Machinery.
 An accident happened to the electric motor at the Tomlinson draWbridge on Wednesday, so that it cannot be used in opening the draw, but instead the draw has to be opened by hand. The accident was caused by some carbon which got into the machinery, forming a short circuit, which burned out the armature. The draw was being closed, when there was flash which fired all the electrical appliances in the power house.
 Both of Bridge Tender Powers arms were burned from his fingers to the el- bows.
 Chief Engineer Kelly of the board of public works has sent out of town for new armature and it will arrive soon.
 In the meantime four men are kept employed to open and close the draw. This is the first time that the electric power has failed on the bridge fer three years.

MONEY AND LABOR.

The farmer has "hard row to hoe"
He has been getting less for the pro-
duct Of his labor than any other class.
He works a greater number Of hours
per day and receives less per hour.
His chief consolation lies in the fact
that he is his own boss, and is sure Of
living at least, whatever may become
of the other tOilers Of the world. The
condition of the farmer has never been
so discouraging as III the past ten or
fifteen years We allude to the Amer
lean farmer, of course. He has neither
been compensated for his labor or had
a fair dividend on the caital which he
has invested. Statistics show that the
increase of wealth in the country is so
mitch in the aggregate, annually, and
average does not receive his quota per
capita, as is shown by the same statiS-
tics. The result is the farmer is the
fellow who has done the most COM
planning, as he had right to. Only
as a rare occurrence does a farmer get
rich. But the farmer is not the only
man who has fallen behand his proper
ton or Ter capita of the aggregated
accImulations of wealth for the past
five years. The aggregated increase
itself has fallen of too, it is true, but
to the laborer the land over Some
where is to be found the underlying
cause. The free trader tells us that
high tariff is running American agri-
culture. hut they fail TO tell us how, or
wherein. The prOtectionists tell US
that for want of protected manufacture
ers homo markets have been ruined
aud the farmer consequently crippled
Then there comes the problem of over
production, of supply and demand.
While the farmer has plenty to eat
and the wherewiInal to be clothed, the
bread and butter question has become !
a painfully serious one to millions in
this land So after all may it not be, |
is it not the probability, that at the |
bottom Of our troubles is a crooked, |
narrow and unjust financial policy, I'M |
der which the creator of wealth is syS-
tematically robbed of the fruits of his |
toll? May not our money system work |
unjustly in that through its prescribed |
limitations the controller of money is !
enabled to squeeze every other hold |
ing and interest aud ia so squeezing /
render every toiler. every producer of /
wealth an Industrial siaIe?

SILVER AND PROJECTION.

The United States senate stands for
free silver and will so stand for at
least four or six years whatever else
may happen. A new congress or low
er house is to be elected this fall.
Every PopuliSt elected will be for free
silver. Judging from the declarations
of the Democratic state conventions Of
the past few days eight out of ten Of all
the Democrats elected TO congress will
be for free silver. 1t is unquestioned
that quite a per cent of the Republi-
cans who will be elected to congress
viii be for free silver. The only two
Republican congressional nominees in
Kansas who have clear sailing are the
two pronounced silver men. If it turns
out that the next house is for silver,
free coinage law is inevitable, unless
annulled by the veto of the president
If Major Mckinley should be the pres
ident, as he viii be undoubtedly, I'M
less all the political parties and silver
elements of the country should sue
coed in q combination against him,
jor Mckinley voted to pass free coin
age bill over the veto Of Hayes. In
the event of such a demand, without
regard to party, and in view of the fact
that there can be no reformatiCn in
the tariff law,no distinctive protective
policy until the silver ajOrity Of the
senate is satisfied. who will undertake
to declare that Mckinley as president
would veto a silver measure?
The St Louis convention gave the
east the platform, but it gave the west
the nominee,-a man whose every vote
has been for bimetallism, man with |
a record for silver, and the man is more
important touching the enforcement of |
any platform than can be a mere dec |
laration of principles or beliefs en- !
bodied in party platform which is but |
the result Of a brief consultation of a |
few men who happened to be elected |
delegates to a convention.

doubtful The states east Of the Ale
shenieS are a. surely in the Mckinley
column. New Jersey and New Eng

nothing to fight over on the east At

and recommendations. Whether this
information is correct or not, there is
no question that Mr.. Cleveland is Of
fered in this Cuban trouble an unusual
opportunity to do something worthy
his place and station, something that
will give his name chance TO survive
in way among the illusuiOus ones or
the great republic.
The departure Of General Lee was
so arranged that no report could be
received from him before the adjourn
ment of congress. This will AFFORD
Mr.. Cleveland the opportunity of indie
pendent individual action. What will
he do? His party is in the straights-
IL is torn and rent by cOntending in
terests. Wall street, the seat and head
of he present administration, is array
ed, with all its money power, against
the rural majority Of the Democratic
party. If Mr.. Cleveland had not an
nOunced that he expected TO serve as
private hereafter we should not be sur
prised if he used the Cuban report of
Consul General Lee to boom himself
for a third term, but after all he may
not have meant it when he offered TO
retire TO the ranks Mr.. Cleveland is
coRsiderabl of politician, and very
selfish one at that His Cuban policy
may vet surprise the people OF the
United States. He undoubtedly con-
templated something important when
he sent General Lee to Havana, and he
is likely to be heard from within the
next few days.

agents OF few silver mine-owners and
regulators who want TO pay their
debts in debas ed, JO-cent dollars, is TO
overlook the great significance of this
question. Conditions are wrong. Men
who are able and willing seek work in
vain. The producer must sell his pro-
duet at ruinous price. What shall
De done? Men are not infallible. The
silverites, along with the great mass of
this people, are seeking with awful
earnestneSs a remedy. II the free
coinage is not the remedy what is?
Let US meet the question bravely,
honestly, fairly as free from passion
as we may. With reason and not rash
ness. with charity and not malice, with
persuasion and not abuse, God willing,
We will solve this question as intelli-
gent American freemen and solve it
right
