One Explanation Why the Opposition
Senators Are Holding On

SnAtOEH hFe HOLDING On.
II we have a couple OF real good scorch-
Ing hot days" remarked a republican sena-
tor TO colleague today. these democratic
fellows will be glad enough to stop oppos-
Ing the tariff and get away from here"
'Oh. / don't know" replied the other;
why should they? Here they have re-
frigerated air. electric fans. ApolIinaris
lemonade. several brands of mineral waters
and quinine capsules. all free. 1 don't think
they are complaining any"
For the benefit of the uninitiated it may
be explained that to the senatorial per-
quisites OF free baths and free shayes are
added mineral waters lemonade bromo
seltzer. quinine capsules and Jamaica
ginger.
There was once a senator from Georgia
who proposed to abolish this senatorial
drug store" as ii is called, but it happened
that the very day he intended to make the
effort he was seized with a cramp collie In
the Senate chamber and made a rush for
the Jamaica ginger. and was glad when
it was over that he abandoned his efforts

Wheat, Silver and Prices.

There are some close observers of
the trend of public opinion in the pres
idential campaign last year who ex-
press the opinion that Mr. Bryan would
have been successful but for the sud-
den and very considerable rise in the
price of wheat in the month of Octo-
Der, without any corresponding rise in
the price of silver, which, instead, fell
OFF considerably. But if the price re-
lations OF wheat and silver had any OBJ
ject lesson to convey last autumn, the
price phenomena of the present sea-
son should teach the lesson still more
significantly. The price of wheat went
up steadily in August, until it reached
an average figure higher than at any
harvest period for a number of years
preceding. Cash wheat was worth
dollar a bushel in New York when this
paragraph was written. AT the same
time. the price of silver fell day by
day. until 1t had reached the lowest
point on record; and after lingering
for a few days it gradually but inevita-
bly, sagged still lower, with no pros
pect for an early recovery, but on the
contrary with much prospect of
steady further decline. There is moth
ing whatever that il mysterious about
the advance in the price OF wheat, and
nothing, on the other hand, that should
be hard to understand in the fall in the
price OF silver. The two movements
bear no causative relation to one an
other. Wheat has been going up be-
cause the worlds available supply, as
compared with the worlds effective de-
mand, is relatively small this year. As
we explained last month, the Euro
pean wheat crop is much scantier than
usual while of those countries that
usually export wheat to Europe the
United States is the only one that has
a considerable surplus. This is not a
normal situation, but it is for the mo-
ment a fortunate one for our farmers
a number of years ago, condition Of
the worlds markets that in the nature
OF things could not be permanent, gave
American farmers high prices through
series of seasons for all the wheat
they could produce. The wheat-grow
ing districts of the West and the
money-lenders of the East counted al
together too much upon the continu
ance of those high prices, and tn,
West was doomed on a basis Of ficti
tlous values. The reaction has beer
very serious. The present recovery O
prices should not be made the occasion
for new period of speculation, but Il
should be taken advantage Of for purpos,
OF liquidating Indebtedness and maxine
ready to face low prices as the normal
condition. Meanwhile we should b,
thankful for the present relief to thc
agricultural community, even though
it should last for only season or two

Still They Go.

The approach of winter has no ter
ror for those who are wild and crazy 10
go to Klondike. They take no lessons
from those who have made the trip:
they believe no stories told of the diff
ficulties and hardships of the perilous
journey.
In the year 1850 from $4,000 to 1OO.-
600 people attempted to cross the plains
TO reach the gold fields of California.
Their road was lined with bodies of
their dead and dead animals which
persisted from exhaustion, and all this
happened in favorable climate. How
will it be along the road in the wild
rush to the Klondike. The whole way
will be death-trap in the winter and
one Alaska storm may bury an army.
For the coming winter, at least, THE
NEWS will prefer the cosy corner by
the firesidc and the bubbling cider and
juicy Idaho apples to Alaska gold hid
far away in the frozen bars on the up
per Yukon.

A KENTUCKY MULE.
A C0rncracker Cavalier Tells Of n Wild
Animal OF His Native State.

The well-to-do farmer Of Republican
proclivities was in Washington looking
for pie for the next three years and a
half, not so much for dessert as for
steady diet during that period, and
while he was looking around he found
time now and again to talk bit on
other subjects. One evening it was
mules.
''I'll be doggoned," he said, "If I
haven't got a mule out home that
ought to have the championship belt
for kicking. Why, by zucksl one morn
ing I tried TO make that dern mule
haul cart load Of rocks from a creek
about half mile TO the stable, and he
just wouldn't stir a leg. All he would
do when tried to make him go for
ward was TO move the other way, so 10
beat Mr.. Mule at his own little game
took him out OF the shafts and turned
him head on to the cart and started
him up. Then he would move neither
way, but just stood still and began to
kick. Not one-legged kick, either,
but the real thing with both feet, and,
gee whilliaens! how he did launch
them out into The atmosphere!
u was sure | never would get him
now, for couldn't get near him; but
all OF sudden | noticed that every
time he kicked he kicked 80 hard that
he couldn't keep on the ground with
his forefeet and so dragged himself
about foot or two, according TO the
ground he was on. That gave me an
idea, and just stood by and when he
showed disposition to quit nagged
him little, and he went to kicking
again; and I'll be blamed If he didn't
get that cart load OF rocks to the place
| wanted IL at mighty near az soon as II
he had hauled it there in the first place
and made no fuss about IT,"
One or two men coughed short
cough, but when the Kentuckian look
ed around, they seemed TO have recov-
cred from their pulmonary attack.
isn't that scar on your forehead
where he kicked you once?" inquired
one Of them.
"Not exactly
= understood some one to say 80, I"
said the party with the cough.
Somebody's mistaken, that's all.
How IT happened was that one day
was coming into the front gate and tho
mule was about 100 yards away, up OF
the other end Of the big yard in front
OF the house. Ny hound made break
for him, and as the mule whirled TO run
away he let one leg ay at the dog, and
the force Of the kick, missing the dog,
was such that the shoe flew OH and
whizzing through the air it took me

Mail for the Klondike.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-The first

from Seattle by steamer leaving there
September 18th. From that time for
ward letter mall will go over the new
service regularly once month. The
last opportunity to send newspapers

THE REPUBLICANS OF Virginia have
never had any backbone since Gener al
Malone dropped out. This year they
have refused TO name state ticket,
their excuse being that the election
laws are Of such a character that they
cannot get a fair vote. II they ever
expect to arouse the people OF the state
TO the necessity for fairness in the con-
duct of elections they must keep IN the
field. They are not going TO win
recruits by parading themselves as
crayens.
The election laws Of Virginia are all
right. The Republicans always failed
there for the lack OF votes. When a
decent Republican goes TO Virginia he
soon changes his ticket in voting. He
will not officiate with the riif-raff and
colored voters nor vote with them. The
average Republican Of Virginia never
had any backbone and perhaps never
will. The memory Of Malone gives no
strength to the party there now. Billy
is dead physically, legally, politically
and but few outside of his family cherish
his memory. Before he died he broke
faith with nearly all Of his colleagues
and closest political friends.
