THR Honorable Benjamin Ryan
Tillman is out now with the old silver
cratic assertion of last fall that the
rise in wheat is due to the manipula-
tions Of Mark Hanna. He spoke the
other day at Troy, N. Y, and stated
that he did not see any signs what
ever of genuine prosperity that the
movement sweeping over the country
is nothing but "hot-ballOOn affair, -
and the wheat boom merely ''specula-
tiven and designed to aid Mark
Hanna. When wheat advanced last
fall during the campaign the popo-
cratic orators attributed its rise to
Mark Hanna and hismyrmidons, and
this was one Of the most ridiculous
silvercratic charges made But now,
when there is no particular need Of
telling extravagant yarns, Senator
Tillman reiterates the assertion and
evidently hopes people will believe it,.
The rise In wheat was felt about the
time the country became confident
that Bryan would be defeated The
statistical abstract of the Treasury
Department gives the wheat quota
ton in New York on August 27, 1896,
as 07 cents. Wheat is now lowering
i'm the neighborhood Of 100 cents, the
advance having been since that time
fully 30 cents per bushel The wheat
crop of the world OF last year was
2, 43O, ,307 600 bushels, and the Corn
Trade News, of Liverpool, estimates
the present years crop at 2,308, 600,
600 bushels The advance in value
OF the crop Of this year over that Of
last would, according to these figures,

THE reports from the Klopdike gold
regions, as far as the gold yield is con
cerned, are as flattering as ever, while
the discouragements confronting
those who are attempting to reach
there show no signs of abatement. On
this latter point there appears to be
no disagreement. All advices concur
in regard to the hardships and priva-
tions that the majority of those who
have overcome part Of the way to
Klondike will be sure to encounter.
Already there are many sufferers, and
each succeeding hour will AID to their
miseries. This is not an individual
opinion formed by persons thousands
Of miles away, but the result Of the
carefully considered observations of
men experienced in such matters, and
who have visited the outpOsts Of the
gold regions, where the majority of
the gold seekers are now congregated,
and having taken a careful survey of
the situation have made report IN ac-
cordance with facts.

Chicago, Sept IA handsome youn,
woman, whose name is unknown, killed
herself by poison in the Victoria hotel,
where she was a guest. The suicide
was evidently carried out with the ut
most elaboration, as the young wo-
man had apparently slept in the bed
during the night, taken a bath in the
morning made up the bed and then,
swallowing morphine, lay down to die.
She registered as Miss Blanche Wilson,
New York city, and left a note saying:
please do not try to find out who lam,
ask and beg Of you, whoever you
may be, and remember it is my last
favor l ask on earth, as a dying wo-
man. And for my mothers sake do not
try. 1 don't care what you do with my
body. Remember, please don't try, fol-
my mothers sake"

THE Atlanta Journal is raging mad
at the President for visiting the tomb
of John Brown, whom that paper
calls desperate william and de
praved law-breaker." This is rather
violent language to apply to the hero
of Harper's Ferry nearly forty years
after his execution. In the turmoil
OF politics John Brown had been for
gotten in the North in recent years,
but in Georgia at least his soul seems
to be marching on.

Ritter May Decline the Nomination.
Willlamsport Pa, Sept. 2.-Hon.
Walter e. Ritter Democratic nominee
for auditor general, said last night:
'I am not fully prepared at this time
to state just what course I shall fol-
low. My present inclinauons are to
decline the nomination. In fact, my
business affairs are of such a character
that 1 scarcely see anything else for
me to do. If l do not accept it my
action will not be the result Of dis
satisfaction over the platform. That
document, to my mind, is such a decla-
ration of our party's position that every
Democrat ought to support it."

especially gratified to have President
Mckinley as their guest, and to con-

of the nation is a long journey, and
William Mckinley is the only man
who ever accomplished it.
