Cheiro Predicts a Happy Event to Oc-

New York. May pa morning pa
per has the following item from Wash
fngtOn;
Society in Washington is busily dis
cussing the recent visit of Cherio, the
palmist, to the White House and to

out to Woodley by the wife of the sec

Senator Baker. like John Sherman
seems to prefer that the shirts should
be taken from the peoples backs
rather than that the nations credit
should suffer. If the nation needed
credit or if that which it has were en-
dangered this position might be open
to debate. The senate sees a deficiency
staring the succeeding administration
in the face, amounting to $50 O00. 900 or
500, 900 900 annually. but fortunately
there is a cash surplus on hand sufa-
cient to last three years even at this
rate and surely something can be done
by that time to obviate the necessity
of issuing bonds; if not, congress could
decree an issue of securities when the
necessity arises. Tt is not necessary to
leave the power in the hands Of the
president to borrow money when no
necessity exists as has been done by
Cleveland. If the senator is SO anxious
for an increase of the revenues why
doesn't he Join with the senators in an
effort to pass a silver bill. thereby caus-
ing a revival Of business and the in
crease in revenues which would natur-
ally follow. Borrowing money adds
nothing to the revenues: it but necessi-
tates additional revenue to pay the in
terest. A condition confronts the coun-
try; not a theory. There can be no tar
if legislation until a silver bill is
passed and it would do no good if there
could.

The Winfield Sentinel says: If any
one thing more than another would
make an honest Kansan weary. it is
the incessant prodding at Topeka. We
want to say Amen" when Ed HOch
puts it in this fashion:
Topeka is called the "Holy City be-
cause it is the cleanest. soberest city
Of its size in the United States 1t is
the only state capital in the Union
where open saloons are unknown. And
it is in the best financial condition Of
any city in Kansas. One whose liver is
in good working order, whose heart is
in the right place, and whose grey mat
ter is undiluted, should be proud Of a
state capital like that.

Senator Allen has introduced a bin
forbidding the supreme court to hold
an act passed by congress and signed
by the president or passed over the veto
Of the president unconstitutional, ex-
cept by a unanimous vote.
This is not likely to trouble the SUI
preme court in the least even if it
should become a law, as it would doubt
less. Immediately declare it unconstl-

General Hancock's declaration that
the tariff is a local matter was never
more aptIy illustrated than 1t was by
the action Of the recent Democratic
state convention Of New Hampshire.
Although the national Democracy has
one long continuous record Of opposi-
ton to a protective tariff, the Demo-
Gratis of New Hampshire placed the fol-
lowing plank in their platform.
1--WE favor a system of tariff taxa
ton so adjusted as to produce the ne
cessay revenues to meet the present ex-
penses Of the government, with the
least possible burden upon the people,
and afford such incidental protection
as will meet the requirements Of Amer

The New York World, with much sat-
isfaction refers to the fact, as it as
serts, that Tilden carried the country
IN 1876 on a sound money platform,
only three years after the perpetra-
tion Of the crime against silver. and
when the whole matter was fresh in the
minds Of the people. 1t neglects. how
ever, to call attention to the fact that
only two years later the people elected
g congress with a sufficient silver ma
5ority to pass the Bland-A1lison law
over the presidential veto II they fav-
ored sound money in 1876, it did not
take them long to change their minds.

The Democratic situation seems to
have resolved itself into a question of
which faction win bolt the Chicago con
vention. That there will be a split
scarcely admits of doubt The east
ern gold standard Democrats are al
most certain to have a candidate in any
event and judging by the attitude of
the gold standard Republicans Of that
section toward Mckinley, the nomina-
ton of some man like Cleveland, Car
isle or Russell might render the result
in November very uncertain. The
solid south and a number OF western
states may give their electoral votes to
a free silver candidate whoever he is
The Republican states Of the OIississ-
ippi valley north of Mason and Dixon's
line. are almost certain to go for Nc

including Pennsylvania. If a sound
money candidate should capture the
vote of New York alone, which is not
improbable 1t might result in throwing
the election into the house.

want to do a thing but just rest and be
comfortable, why stow yourself away in
q hammock and 81 browse the long tides
idly until dinner time. If you are
floating down stream with the current
you can tie up or anchor wherever you
wish. If you are in still waters and
want to change anchorage. you can get

One of the Injuries with which some
houseboats are equipped is a small naph-

Land yachting is quite another way
of getting about the same results This
is a peculiarly American way Of taking
a vacation, and while it is almost I'M
known in the north it is widely popular
in the southern states. In Georgia
Florida and Alabama the farmers often
take this way Of spending the idle sum
mer months when, after the orange
trees are trimmed and the crops gath
cred, they have nothing to do until fall
At such times the farmer gets out his
land yacht furnishes it for six weeks
or two months voyage, loads in all the
family, bitches up pair OF mules and
starts. Sometimes he goes to visit a
relative in a distant part of the state or
in an adjoining state, and sometimes
he has no particular port in view, but
just cruises around, seeing the country
and stopping for days, perhaps, in the
neighborhood of some city or place
where there is something to be seem
The interior Of the covered wagon
that he calls his land yacht is fitted up
to form a sleeping place by night and a
sitting room by day. The cooking is
done on a light stove which rs carried
in the wagon. 1t is a sort Of gypsy life
that the farmers boys are particularly
fond of and that the old folks seem to
enjoy quite as much.

GRAIN MARKETS.
MINNEAPOLIS WHEAT MARKET


Wheat-All cables have been lower to-
day. On the break there was some wheat
taken in New York for export for foreign
account. Wires have been working bad
today and news has been rather scarce.
There have been continuous rains in the
winter wheat country and also IN the Red
River valley, but the rains In the latter
place are lost sight of at present. Every
body for the past two weeks has been
expecting an advance and have been pre-
pared for 1t, but it has not come, and
these people have been selling out their
wheat the last few days and shorts have
been about the only buyers. The short
interest is very small at present, as pears
will not sell much at present prices and
soon cover on any signs of strength.
Minneapolis opened about as 1t closed
Saturday, and after a few moments its
strength began to decline and sold Off
over 1c with fractional rally; July open
ed at $3.50 against 69c, closing price Sat

break caused by the small decrease In the

WHERE AMERICAN CAPITAL GOES

American capital does not seem to be any
more patriotic toward American invest
ments just now than the most hostile and
suspicious capital of Europe. American
capital-under the existing gold standard"
is avoiding American investments. 1t is
seeking South America, Japan and Mexico.
During the past two or three years, Amer
lean capital has been going into Mexican
mines, railways and lands at rate with
which the public IS by this time thoroughly
familiar. The latest notable movement o.
American capital to Mexico is that OF the
investment of a large block of Chicago
money in proposed mammoth Mexican
hotel. The Chicago men will put up $780,
900 hotel of 800 rooms and all modern con-
veniences and will place Americans in
charge.
There is scarcely field of Mexican in
vestment into which American and Euro
pean capital has not entered during the past
year or SO. And yet the mainstay of the
gold standard school is the argument that
free silver will drive away capital.-Pen-
ny Press.

Dear Sirs-We herewith give you
summary of the markets and condi-
tions of business in general. Dizziness
prevails in almost every branch of
business.
It is idle to look for any improve
ment until after the next election.
and then no substantial improvement
until this vexed tariff and silver and
gold controversy is settled. Oh, the
misery and loss Of aUealth, that un,cise leg
Ssldtion has caused. Ten thousand mill
ions of dollars would not cover the loss
in shrinkage Of values in the last five
years; much of this has been caused,
no doubt, by the lack of knowledge
of what is for the best. much
OF it by INSCRIPTIONS design
ing politicians. II the people of
this country do not arose them
selves, put honest men in Office, in
stead of tricky politicians, without re-
gard to party, aCe can trutkJatlly sag, God
help our country. 1t does not need any
Daniel to prophecy the direful results
to our beloved country, if the voters
do not themselves select men for office
instead Of letting the unsc,upulous polsti-
clans cause themselves to be nominated,
and purchase votes enough to get Of
flee. Having bribed the people to get
the Office, he then is open to brides
for every nefarious scheme that can
be presented; he will even invent
schemes solely to be offered brides to
drop them. Oh. awake, awake voters!
Do much thinking before next cleo
tion. Select the best men for Office,
from police judge to president, then
we may expect God to do the rest,
bless and prosper his pc ople. He acill
surely not do for us the part ece can do our
Selres. 157-tf
