Bureaus Corruption Fund.
Canton, Oct 21. = Maj. Mckinley
arose early and took a drive in the
crisp October air this morning. He
called on his guests of Sunday, the
veterans, at the railway station, just
before their departure. The generals
special train left Canton at $50 o'clock
for a swing around Eastern Ohio, and
will conclude their Ohio tour tonight
at Cleveland, entering Michigan from
Toledo tomorrow. There was freez-
ing weather this morning but the big
tabernacle was crowded at 1870 and
flags and fcstoons and flowers made
the scene warm and brilliant one.
The generals each made short ad-
dresses, at the conclusion of which
each was presented with q basket Of
flowers by the Canton Woman's Re-
lief Corps. The meeting was one Of
the most enthusiastic Of the cam
paign.
The visits to Maj. Mckinley began
with several car loads of people from
Sewickley, Pa. In the party were a
number of ladies and the Mckinley
and Hobart Sound Money club of that
city. They were escorted to the Nc
Kinley home, headed by drum corps
coming with them. and gave Mckinley
three rousing cheers when he ap-
peared upon the perch. The visitors
were happily introduced by Attorney
General II. Wallace. After the ad-
dress Mrs. Mckinley received the
ladies and the whole party was pho
tographed.

SPEAKERS AND WRITERS.

temperament RespOnslble for Much
of Their Difference.
The principal difference between wri-
tiers and speakers is, after all, to be dis
covered IN temperament.
The presence of an audience, especial-
ly a large audience, has always one
or two effects on n man; it either stim.
ulates or depresses him.
To the born speaker 1t lends yiyacity
to the intellect and fluency to the
tongue; others 1t strikes dumb. A man
may, of course, lie fluent without being
an orator.
An empty man is often fluent-that
Is due to vanity; pompOus man is
sometimes confident and ready of
speech-that is due to conceit.
The one chatterY on, serenely uncon-
scious that he is talking nonsense; the
other has too lofty sense Of his own

that his rounded periods are mere com.

case the fruit smacks of the soil.
Lord Bolingbroke was applauded by
Lord Chesterfield, who had been among
his auditors, for the force and charm
of his eloquence."
Pitt looked up to him as model and
Burke initiated his style, yet later
speakers neglect him and expect to
learn nothing from his slow and fatigu-
ing sentences, which have been cllarac-
terized by later critic as ''declama-

Weeds and Good Farming.

Occasionally a farmer is heard to
ask how the weeds can be killed, but
he does not realize that If by some
rapid progress they could all be dis
patched new legions would fill their
places at once if the conditions which
they enjoy remain. What farmers need
to comprehend is that without some
radical mistake in the management of
their land the daisies would never
have gained such q foothold. All
plants, including weeds, settle and
thrive where the competition for life
is such that they can enter it and pros
per. A good stand of grass leaves no
room nor any hope for weeds. It Is
not in well titled fields that Canadian
thistles flourish, but in neglected pas
lures and by the roadsides. In the
contest with the best agricultural prac-
tice they cannot prevail. The remedy
for weeds is to keep the land busy
with good crop on 1t, and this means
that the farmer must give persistent
and connected thought to his business.
II the daisies crowd out the grass it is
because the meadow has been neg
lected and the grass has begun to fail,
and wherever there is vacancy by
the failure Of the grass every enter
prising weed finds rightful oppor-
tunity to establish itself. II the farm
er asks, therefore, what will kill the
daisies there IL one anSwer-bettsr

Chicago, Oct. q. - Wheat made a
reoord-breaking jump. The December
option opened ut IS 1-2a79 1-Sc, steady
ing at the latter figure, an advance Of
3 lac. file widest excitement char
acteriZed the trading. There was talk
Of possible failures as u result of the
unparalleled advance. After q mo-
lnentary reaction to 70c December
wheat soon went beyond the top figure
at the opening, touching as high as
70 1-ac several times within the first
fifteen minutes Of business.
Just before 10 a. IN. the market took
sudden plunge downward and fell
to 78 1-2c, rcacting to Is 3-4c. Shortly
after 10 a. ii. the price receded to
78 lac. but at that point, the market
whirled sharply upward again and
within few minutes advanced to 79c.
During the frenzy at the opening some
few trades were made as high as
20 Lee, while sales Mt the same mo-
ment In other parts of the pit were at
different figures ranging all the way
to 7S 1-2c.
At 1890 a. m. the price was 78 3-4c
for December. Al this point another
1-cent-a-5 5ushel advance was recorded,
with amazing rapidity. Almost be-
fore the tickers could place the figures
on the tape in the brokers' Office the
quotation had leaped to 20 3-4c. This
was within 1-8c Of cents bushel
added to the value of the cereal within
single hour.
Before IL o'clock the pit witnessed a
notable example of whipsaw. From
20 3-4c the market fell as rapidly as it
had risen, dropping cent almost In q
straight line to S3-4c. Scattering
sales were made at IS 5-Sc and then
the market once more rebounded to the
ruling price at IL q. H., being 79c for
December.
The advance was due to the Liver
pool cables, which reported that mar
ket excited aud from 10 to sd high
er, equivalent to an advance of 4 to &c.
No such JUMP has been experienced in
the market for years.
Between il and 1915 there was a
gradual relapse. From 79c December
slumped to a 3-4c. In the next half
hour it was again ascending the lad
der and reached 7S 5-Sc, but during the
succeeding fifteen minutes it returned
to the down-grade and at p. M, fif-
teen minutes before the close, was
quoted at Il 3-4c. The decline con-
tinued during the final quarter Of an
hour. Just before the bell struck De-
cember was u 14c, and the last quo
tation for the day was "a 3-Sc bid.
Speculative Excitement.
New York. Oct. 20-Wheat made n
perpendicular advance of 41-2c a
bushel, following stupendous jump
of &c at Liverpool, and general specu-
lative excitement throughout the whole
Of Europe. The bull movement was
accompanied by intense local excite
nlent. and heavy trading during the
first few minutes. Buyers orders, of
course, predominated. Even the bulls
themselves were amazed at the
enormity of the advance, which has
not been equaled in years. The De-
cember option opened at IS 7-8c, and
before the demand could be appeased,
had jumped to S6 1-2c. Following this
came cent reaction with a let-up in
trading. The close was &c below the
opening.

LONDON CEAsING TO GROW.

steady Decline In the Rate of In.
crease I'm Her Population.
The result of the recent census
shows that during the last five years
the population has increased somewhat
less rapidly than it did in the previous
ten-1SS1-1S91. The number of people
turned out to be some 5000 below tue
estimate formed on the basis Of 1891.
The difference is small but important,
as it shows that the previous fall in
the rate of increase is maintained. rhe
population is growing at a less and less
rapid pace
At the beginning of the century it
used to increase by more than ~ per
cent in the ten years between success
i've censuses; in 18S1-1S91 that rate
had fallen to 1O.4 per cent. the lowest
on record, and now 1t is still less. This
movement is not part of a general de-
cline; 1t Is peculiar to London, and
seems to indicate that the huge over
growth of the metropolis has begun to
cure itself. No town can go OH grow
ing indefinitely, and even London
monstrous as it is-has not fulfilled the
expectations OF earlier statisticians.
Two hundred years ago 1t appeared to
be growing SO fast that Sir William
Petty, one of the earliest pioneers In
dcmographical research, reckoned that
by 1910 the population would reacl,
1O,0O0,OOO, supposing it to continue Mt
the same rate. He thought. however.
that natural limit would be reached
be fore then. and placed 1t in the year
1900, by which time he calculated Lon
Odn would contain something over
5,OOO,OO0 people, and the rest of Eng
land only 4,5OO,OOO. He was very
nearly right about the total, which act.
ually was about 9,OOO,OOO, but London
only accounted for one Of them.
Since then it has nearly reached its
maximum, which, curiously enough,
seems likely to prove real natural
limit. For the four years 1S71-1S74,
the average birth rate was 35.2; for
the four years, 1S91-1S94, it was only
309. There has been gradual and
almost continuous fall from year to
year, which has not been counterbal.

fall in the death rate from 22.7 to 1919.

population, but still fewer are born

How We Catch On.

Several good breeders of pure stock
in a county always attract trade. A
healthy rivalry advertises it as fine
stock county. If good stock is intro.
duced by one, he will soon be followed
by others whv are not willing to be out
done, and thus the good work goes on,
the stock improves and prices advance.
People like to get stock from fine
stock centcrs. especially from we'll
known advertisers, although exactly
the same can be bought at half the
price from some timid breeder who
has not made himself known in print.
If one has been judicious in breeding,
to make the business pay he must toot
his horn little.
