A railroad conductor il


"A railroad conductor in
Mexico recently talked to a cor
respondent on the beauties OF free
silver. He receives $3.50 q month
in Mexican money, which may
vary two or three cents day on
the dollar in value. Most of his
wearing apparel and other items
of ordinary expense are imported,
and when he has paid $3.50 for Il
pair OF AN erican shoes and pro-
portionate prices for other necessi-
ties, he has little or nothing left
OF his wages. This is the financial
standing of u man who gets $50
Mexican dollars a month; it is not
a glimpse at the condition of the
ordinary laboier who gets about
% cents day. The cheap money
and cheap labor scheme of indus
trial progre IS Graves investigation.

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

The Weekly Crop Bulletin is
sued by the Missouri Section, Gil
mate and Crop Service, Weather
Bureau, for the week ending Aug
IL, says:
The week ending Saturday, Aug.
Sth, was another week extreme
ly high temperature in all sections
of the state, with almost continu-
Gus sunshine and little or no rain
except in few northern counties.
Maximum temperatures of 100 de-
grees and over occurred at MANY
points, and the mean temperature
of the week ranged from to IL
degrees above the normal. A
number of deaths from sunstroke
are reported and several CORES
pondents report that horses and
mules have been overcome by the
heat and dropped dead in the
fields.
Over few of the extreme north
ern counties the rainfall for the
week exceeded l inch, and in por-
tions of Nodaway, Holt, Atchison,
Andrew and Gentry counties it ex-
ceeds 8 inches, hut over much the
greater portion of the state there
was none.
In the extreme northern counti.
there is plenty of moisture and
corn is doing finely, int elsewhere
it is badly in need Of ram. In g
number If the southern counties
the crop has been greatly damag
ed by the continued drouth and il
some localities almost ruined
Many correspondents in the cen
tral and southern Sc tions report
that early corn is made and is safe
some being nearly ready to cut
but late corn is suffering and a few
more days of dry, windy weather
Will result in serious loss in near
ly all sections.
Cotton is doing well and some is
opening.
Pastures, in many counties, are
drying up and in some localitie,
streams and wells are getting yer,
low. Fruit has suffered consider
able injury from the hot, dry
winds, especially in the southwest
where apples and peaches have
been almost baked ON the trees.
Fall blowing, and, in fact, al
most all farm work, has been sus
pended in many counties owning
to the drouth and excessive heat

1t takes good Democrat to
recognize a bad policy.
III Bryan is elected no Stat,
will secede. If Mckinley is elect
ed all the states will succeed.
The Chicago platform is
against everything conservative.
1t is too much of an "anti' ticket
to suit Uncle Sam.
Stop the political machine
and tell us where we're at; the
question forges to the front-What
is a Democrat
If Sewall is dropped from
the ticket, he should proceed to
sue all the responsible leaders in
the Chicago convention.
-Of course some things that
Bryan says may be trifle silly,
but boys must always still be boys,
and he is merely "Willie."
There is one indication that
the Democrats are looking for a
picnic this year. Nearly half of
them are taking to the woods.
Bryan is said to have re-
ceived $50 a week for his editorial
work at Omaha. THIS is good
pay for an agent for other men S
ideas.
Since Mr.. Bryan doesn't
really expect to knock the persim-
mon anyhow, it is hardly neees-
sary to state that all the Poles in
the country are for Mckinley.
before the big ST. Louis
fracas Tom Watson called Bryan a
walking mouth " This is not
conclusive evidence that the Popu-
lists supplied him with walking
head.
If the Chicago nominee had
gotten his elocution mixed and
said no crown of gold, there is lit
tie doubt that all the sunny haired
Democrats would have bolted the
platform.
The free silverites should
not get too warm in their discus
sions. When Sirius is chairman
of the stellar convention there is
danger of spontaneous combus-
ton.
Stone conducted the Demo
cratic convention at Jefferson City
last week. After the election
Democrats of scriptural turn
may be called upon to deplore the
Stoning of Stephens.
A Democratic Congressman
in Ohio declines to run again be-
cause of ''buSinesS reaSonS.n 1t is
plain that he realizes good busi-
ness conditions require his place
to be occupied by republican.
kansas has evidently not
forgotten the Worlds Fair. The
whole State is now a sort of Mid
way plaisance in politics, and
every big Populist in its limits is
thought to have a Ferris wheel in
his head.
When the Democrats nomi-
mated A. Ii. Bolte, of Franklin
county, for Lieutenant Governor,
they may be said to have narrowly
missed a "bolt.' The margin may
after all be due to their proyerbial
bad spelling.
-Quoth Uncle Sam, ..Dem-
ocracy has helped me down the

Lon V. Stephens does the
