McKINLEY'S GREAT LETTER.

Major McKinley's letter of accep.
tanoe, which was given to the country
one week ago, at once takes rank
among the greatest state papers of
the present century. The people Of
the United States looked for some.
thing extraordinary; something that
would eclipse anything that had yet
been said on the issues of the present
campaign, and hot one has been dis.
appointed. The letter is too long for
our columns, aud we can only give
the briefest review Of it, which will
be found in the following from the
Pittsburg Dispatch. All will have
an opportunity to read the letter be.
fore the campaign ends, and none
should fail to do SO:
1t discusses the issues Of the campaign
and the principles of the platform upon
which he stands, in the order Of their
public importance; discusses them fully,
caudidly, logically and with a plainess of
speech and reason that must appeal to
the learned and unloarned alike. There
is nowhere in the letter any evasion OF
any part Of any issue and the document
ought to be read carefully by every citi-
zen who is qualified TO cast a ballot in
| November. There is no word of appeal
! to prejudice; no attempt at stilted rheto-
ric; no effort to confuse the Judgment.
The whole letter is q marvel of simple,
| but forcible argument.
Major Mckinley nat urally gives first
attention TO the money question, but
does not slight or neglect the tariff. On
the first of these issues he declares tho
Republican party represents the honor
and integrity Of the Government and
that the mere declaration of the Demo
cratic, Peoples aud Silver parties for free
coinage OF silver at the ratio of l6 to l is
a menace to the financial and industrial
interests Of the country, involving as il
does great peril to the credit and bust
ness interests of the republic. Hepoints
out that under the present system The
Government is pledged TO maintain The
parity between gold and silver coin that
il has purchased the silver for less than
its coinage value and issued the coin Will
the promise 20 secure the holder against
loss; that the Government acts under
legislative command TO maintain thai
parity, and the conclusion clearly follows

The ''England's Fear" Forgery.

Recently an article appeared 10
nearly all of the free silver newspa.
pers entitled "England's Fear" in
which ii was set forth in the most 10.
nocent way that America would in.
crease her foreign trade by the adop.
tion Of free silver. The article was
accredited to the London Financial
Neaus of March 10. 1t was so absurd
on its face, running counter as it did
to all reason and experience, that any
intelligent man not blinded by preju.
dice, would, upon reading it, imme.
diately conclude that it never origi.
mated from any responsible or respec.
table source But that did not pre-
vent the Pittsburg Post from publish,
ing it in bold faced type, or a lot oi
country newspapers from printing il
in double column with scare head
lines.
The article was forgery from be.
ginning to end. The London CORES.
dent of the New York Tribune, writ
ing under date of August 10, says
The Bryan press has been unfor
tunate in one Of its earliest campaign
lodges. An Omaha Journal pub

pan was forecast as a consequence o
National folly 10 allowing the United
States to get ahead of England in tn
adoption Of bimetalism. This al
legged extract has been reprinted con
spicucusly by Democratic. Populis
journals 10 the Western States. 1t i
pronounced forgery by the F1nan

explicitly to it, and says: mo sucI

really this is asking little too mnch.

Francesca Crispi, whose resignation as
Premier of Italy has been accepted by
King Humbert, and whose Ministry has
fallen with him, has had remarkable
career. More than once has he saved his
country from ruin by his mastery states
manship. He is distinctively a statesman
of crises, and smaller men naturally hest
tate to accept the premiership when this
political giant has failed. Signor Crispi
is now II years old. He began his life
as lawyer at the bar of Naples. Early
did he ally his powers with the Liberals
and Revolutionists and took prominent
part in the conspiracies which ended in
the overthrow of the kingdom of the Two
Sicilies in 1913. Had it not been for
Crispi the campaign of Garibaldi in Sicily
would have been failure. For the thirty
years following Crispi was a conspicuous
member of the Liberal party in Parlia-
ment. He was one of the few men to
whose counsel Garibaldi would listen. He
became the most skillful debater in the
Chamber Of Deputies and the most astute
political manager. In 1887 Crispi was
made Prime Minister and he learned to
rapidly become a Conservative. It was

Conrad Roentgen is of Dutch birth.
He studied at Zurich with the famous
scientist Kundt, whose assistant he
became. In the relation of professor
and assistant Kundt and Roentgen
went from Zurich to WurZburg, and
thence to Strasburg. Roentgen became
professor OF mathematics at the Agrl-
cultural College of Hohenheim in 1875.
In 1879 he became a professor in the
University Institute Of Physics in Gies-
sen. He returned to WurZburg in 1888
and has been teaching there ever since.
He has published several valuable sclen-
tific works. including a treatise on the
use Of the ice calorimeter to determine
the intensity of sunlight, and another
on a method to fix the iSothermaI sur
face of crystals. He has long been en-
gagged in electrical research. and made
a special study Of the figures produced
in dust by electrical discharges, and
the phenomena shown by electricity
in passing through various gases. He
has delved into nearly every branch Of
physics. He invented an aneroid bar
ometer to tell the weight of the atmos-
phere: he has also published a treatise
on the theory and working OF the tele-
phone-New York Evening Sun.

dictate his policy, but never was mistake
SO erring. He maintained order with ar
utter Indifference to the triple alliance,
He dominated the chamber with a will
so imperious as to find no parallel except
in that of the old German Chancellor. In
1891 his Ministry was defeated and he
resigned. After that he announced his
intention of retiring from politics. Ru-
DIM succeeded him and distinguished him
self by almost precipitating a war be-
tween the United States and Italy on ac-
count of the work of mob at New Or

Giolitti succeeded Rudini and he resigned
in 1893 in the midst of Sicilian revolu-
ton and when the nation was on the verge
of bankruptcy. This was in November
and one month later Crispi, the man of
crises, was again called to take charge
of the Government. Resigning again in
1894, he appeared on the scene few days
later vested with almost dictatorial power

what is termed tWo-inch square
mesh. Those potatoes which will go
through this mesh fall into a sack and
are kept for seed the following spring.
The larger potatoes roll from the screen
into separate sacks, in which they are
stored in peculiarly constructed cellars
or ''dug outs until conditions are favor
able for marketing.
These "dug-outs'' are excavations in
the ground varying in size according
to the requirements of the crop and
approximately ten feet in depth. They
are rooted over almost level with the
ground and provided with ventilators.
To such considerable extent has this
industry grown that at Eaton and
Greeley enormous warehouses have
been erected for the express purpose
of storing and handling potatoes.
Greeley has become celebrated for
her ''Potato day." which is usually set
for the 10th of October. On this occa7
sion immense trenches are dug and the
succulent roots, after being roasted to-
turn by white-aproned experts, are!
served with appropriate accompani
ments to an admiring crowd of appre-.
ciative people only limited by the ca
pacity of the grounds.
During the last year there were about
100000 bushels of this crop harvest
ed in the northern portion of Colorado.
There have been several train loads
forwarded to st. Louis and Chicago,
and many car loads have found their
way to interior points in Iowa, Indiana,
Tennessee, Ohio, and even as far south
as Louisiana. One pyramod, which /
secured a photograph of, contained ex-
actly forty potatoes and weighed 12O
pounds. A few selected specimens
weighed trifie over seven pounds
each.
