Henry Clews, In his weekly fnanc ial

Henry Clews, IN his weekly financial
review, says:
Crop reports are satisfactory. and
the farmers are likely to have plenty
of wheat, corn and cotton to sell and TO
secure better prices for them than
lately. From all parts OF the west
come encouraging reports of the BUSH
ness outlook. Industry revives slowly,
but the improvement il real and prom
ises to make Roadway. Labor troubles
cause some hesitancy on the part of
new enterprise; but these have not yet
assumed q very threatening aspect.
The tariff question il sure to be- ad-
justed in time to avoid hampering the
fall trade, and once this troublesome
question is settled business can be
transacted without regard to political
opinion. We are now in the dullest
season OF the year, and several weeks
may elapse before trade starts up with
any degree OF energy, but the symp-
toms OF recovery are unmis taxable,
railroad earnings, bank clearlngs and
other indications all being in striking
contrast with year ago, to say moth
ing Of the wonderful change from fear
to confidence which must sooner or
later express itself in action. On all
sides there are the signs of a complet-
ed reimbursement to the new conditions
that have grown out of the prOtracted
chaos.

BILE that months would elapse before
a vote could be had If the bounty
proposition were passed by the Repub-
publicans were compelled to either
abandon the proposition temporarily
or keep the country in suspense with
reference to the tariff bill for months.
They therefore determined to with
draw their sugar-bounty amendment

II have no doubt" said Senator Ali
son the other day speaking Of the tariff
bill, that there will be an agreement
between the two houses within ten
DAYS, which will insure the stability OF
le9ialation affecting the tariff for the
next four or five years at least. l be-
lieve that this bill will produce sufii-
Client revenue for the needs of the gov

measure restore confidence to such an
extent as to insure prosperity

What do not understand" said
Assistant Secretary Brigham, OF the
department of agriculture, whose po-
sition as master Of the grange has led
him to specially look into the subject
OF sugar beet culture, SIS how those
men on the democratic side who pro-
Tess such friendship for the farmers,
and anxiety to do anything possible for
their benefit, now, when there is an OPP
portunitv to render them substantial as
sistance, deliberately turn them down.
Here is q proposition to encourage u
new industry which will give employ
ment to thousands Of men, put under
cultivation large tracts OF idle land, or
land now growing corn or wheat, by
paying q small bounty of quarter of
a cent a pound on America grown beet
sugar, and yet these men in congress,
protesting this great friendship for far
mers, threatened to indefinitely delay
the passage of the general tariff bill.
rather than see this provision incor-
porated in it. This slight assistance
from the general public would 60 di-
rectly to the farmers in almost every Sec
ton of the country. There is very gen.
eral interest among farmers in this
question. We have received letters here
in regard to this industry from every
section OF the United States, and thou
sands OF applications for trial seed could
not be supplied. In my opinion it is some
what doubtful at the present price of
sugar whether the beet sugar industry
will be an unqualified success 1t will
certainly not make the progress it
would with this small bounty proposed.
New and uncertain enterprises, such as
this, I believe the public shout
assist to get upon their feet. If there
is success the whole people will be
benefited, and il they do not succeed
the verv slight amount will not be not
iced by the public"

SAYS LEEDY is UNPOPULAR.

for Reconciliation Now.

Topeka, Kas.. July 23.-(SpecialJ o. W.
Hendee, of Hutchison, secretary of the
Seventh district Populist committee, and
Jerry Simpsons campaign manager, came
in to-day to consult some of the politicians
around the state house. He volunteered
the opinion that Governor Leedy had made
himself so unpopular through his appoint
meEts and methods of conducting affairs
that IL the state convention was held this
fall the governor would be turned down
with a dull thud. Il am certain" he said,
that Reno county and Kingman county
would send anti-Leedy delegations TO the
convention, and so would large number
of other southwestern counties. The Pop
uIists out that way don't like the con-
duct of Bill Brown. Of Kingman. and other
sppOintees OF the governor, and those ap-
poiptments have killed Leedy there
Hendee is of the opinion that Justice
Allen will be required to walk the gang
plank next year and that the place will
60 to the Democrats. However, he said
he believed it would be the wise thing to
nominate ex-Chief Justice David Martin
a free silver Republican. for associate JUS
tice. Hendee says that DOster and Simp-
son are the two most popular POpulists in
the state.

of the two. But We found in going over
the mountains that the mules could not

Here are some pointers on provisions:
As TO the beans, get a bushel; boil them:
then dry them. After drying them, grind
them up very fine and press them into the
smallest compass possible. Take flint

rubber bags. those that can be inflated. The
reason for this is that in that primitive
country you will not find bridges as in

the best way he can. Take the rubber bags,
blow them up when you come 10 a river
and put the bags under your raft. This
should be done In order that if your r5ft

be sucked under. The bags keep YOU up as
YOU whirl around. BE prepared 20 have
plenty OF dry clothing. for you are going
TO get wet. Do not try 20 carry too much

fight on him with a view TO retiring him
from the, supreme bench. II will be re-
membered that Allen decided that the leg
is!auve committee had no power to COM
pei a witness to testify. In that opinion
he was backed up by authorities without
number. including one decision rendered
by Chief Justice Doster not two weeks
before. As soon as he rendered that opin-
ion the very boOdlers who would have
been caught had the investigation pro-
Cccded began to abuse Allen. They pro-
fesSed that they wanted the investigation
TO go ahead. despite the law In the case,
when at the very time they were making
such assertions they were only too glad
that IL had been cut short They were
running a blum. Had IL been allowed to
proceed. some of them would either have
been compelled 10 leave the state or go to
the penitcntiSry. And now comes the sec
oud crime OF Associate Justice Allen-that
OF refusing to drag the judicial cloak into
politics by indorsing every Tom. Dick and
Harry who came 10 him for positions
under the administration. Those making
the complaint say that Allen ought to have
done as Doster did-indOrse everybody that
came along. However, II seems that about
all the people Doster succeeded In landing
were his relatives and law partners. There

cut the boys throats and mashed their
skulls with a hoe. Jones told his awful
story with cool bravado. The corOners jury
sat behind closed doors and hurried Jones
into the state penitentiary. located at

Topeka, Kas., July 23.-tSpeCial) Gov
ernOr Leedy is putting things into shape
to call a special session of the legislature
| Private Secretary +. G. Little is devotins
his odd moments in the preparation of q
| manifesto which the governor Will make
public the day he issues the call. The
manifesto will contain his reasons for re-
convening the legislature. and will also
contain some suggestions which he would
like to see carried Jut by the legislature
when it does assemble.
The railroad problem will he the princi-
pal thing the governor will tackle. IN
formation touching that question is being
gathered up by Secretary Little here and
there. and the cream of il is being selected
for use in the manifesto.
The report of the Aurora Borealis and
South Pole railroad junketing committee
is furnishing considerable meat: likewise
the testimony given at the hearing before
the interstate commerce commission at
Austin a few weeks ago.
This manifesto is intended to drive the
reCalcitrants into line. Beside this, the ad-
ministration will use its influence to get
each Populist county convention this fail
to declare in favor of a maximum freight
rate law, and demand that the recalcitrants
get right with the administration on that
question resign. 1t is said that the call
tions get through lacking up the recall
citrants. The administration would feel
somewhat embarrassed If those counties
represented by the recalcitrants in the leg
islature should refuse to make the de-
mands il wants made. If they should fail
to criticize their representatives, then the
administration would be left out on limb
and the extra session would probably not
be called.
Secretary Little was busy to-day wading
through mass of stuff touching railroads
and other matters, making notes of differ

his business.
