The Crops.

Wheat in this vicinity is beyond
the danger point so far as weather is
concerned. To be sure, violent hail
or wind storm could work great dam
age to the individual farmer, but US
ually the areas OF such storms are
very limited relatively to the vast
total acreage. The Harvest has al
ready commenced on the early sown
lighter soils, and within a week the
prairies will be covered with harvest
ers. The prospects are most encour-
aging. The yield is satisfactory, and
the indications are that the price will
be good-better than it has been for
several years. Today the local quo
tations are rs cents for No. North
ern. Higher by % cents than the
ruling price last season. While there
is no assurance that this figure will
be maintained, yet there is every rea-
son to believe that far better prices
will be realized for the crop than has
been for several years. The outlook
for the, farmer is bright.

COST OFF THE FREE TRADE Ex-
PERTINENT


Well may the people of the United
States thank God that we have at last
seen the end of the democratic expert
ment with Free Trade, or Tariff Re-
form, as the Mugwumps call it. For
two years and eleven months, less four
days the deadly blight OF industrial
stagnation-for which Grover Cleve-
land was Immediately and directly re-
sponsible-has been forced upon us.
For nearly two years prior to the en-
actlnent Of the law of '!perfidy and
disbonorn its baneful effects were felt.
Since the close of 1882, when it was
known that Democratic Congress
and Democratic president had been
elected, and that their, threat of Free
Trade would be put into execution.
the industriBl enterprises of the United
States have been paralyzed with fear
The banks foresaw the impending
DANCE. to American manufacturers
through the contemplated influx of
cheap foreign goods and, foreseeing
the DANCES, most of the banks
promptly locked up their capital. SO
that the evils of the FreeTrade policy
were felt long before the Free-Trade
Tarff law was placed upon our stat
uues.
And the evil did not end last week
~, Of hn m1n ~,
Tariff for Protection in place of the
law of 'perfdy and dishonor' of the
Democratic party. Anticipating the
most natural idea of Protection for
American interests, the foreign manu-
featuring and producing interests
have taken every advantage of the
miserable ''ragbag production" that
eminated from the Democratic party,
and have flooded our markets with
foreign goods that, in some instances
cannot be consumed within a twelve
month. Thus the 'deadly blight of
Democratic ':peridy and dishonor"
has spread it's work of ruin and wreck
age over a period of almost five years,
blasting the hopes of our people, ruin
ing thousands, bringing idleness, hun
ger and starvation in it's trail, COM
polling the natural Accomplishments of
Free Trade-such as Free Soup, Free
Bread and Free Clothing. Mean
while, the American people have suff-
cred and waited.
OF their sutferings history can never
tell. But their patience has been
frightened by the more recent knowl-
edge that Republican Congress
would bring relief as speedily as the
Democratic and Popocratic obstruct-
ionists in the United States would
permit. That relief has come par
italy only for the present, but it will
be permanent and profitable, we hope,
AS soon as the last remnant of the
rags and shoddy products of cheap
European labor have disappeared
from our markets. And what has
been the cost of this experiment with
Free-Trade, Of the practical workings
of the Democratic doctrine of free raw
material? It's actual cost, in dollars
and cents, no man can ever estimate,
but we can show how the business of
the city OF New York was transferred
to London, as follows:

WILL REJECT THE OFFER.
And Fight to the End Is Expected Deputies
Wanted

Pitts6urg, Pa, Sept. 2.-Judging from
surface indications, it seems reasonably
certain that President Ratchford, of the
United Mine Workers. and his collea-
CUES IN office, will reject the offer of
the operators to resume work at the
64c rate pending arbitration. Great in
fiuence has been brought to bear upon the
strike leaders from this district to in
duce them to assume such an attitude.
The sentiment among the miners here
is so intense for "a sixty-nine cents or
nothing" settlement that all the local
labor leaders now in the city have
advised strongly for a continuation of
the fight along the present lines and to
the bitter end.

LOST ON MOUNT PLEURER.


Berne, Switzerland. Sept. 2.-Further
details from the accident on Mount Pleur-
er show that the reported accident to u
party of Alpine tourists in that vicinity
were not exaggerated. Eight persons,
it appears, started from Zion capital of
the canton Of Wallis, with the intention
of ascending Mount Reurer. The lat
ter is 1856 feet high and is not a very
difficult ascent from Mauvoisin by tho
Gietrox, eight hours being generally oc-
cupied in the task The tourists were
led by Pastor Comm, of Zion, and they
made the ascent divided into two par
tbs OF four each.
The first of these parties reached the
summit and the second was only a short
distance behind when the four people
composing 1t were sw+pt by an avalan ,he
into crevasse thousand feet deep.
1t is still hoped that some of the per-
sors may be rescued. The missing party
was composed of Pastor Comm, two
school boys from Lausns, and young
American named Bernard.
A guide who was sent out to search
for the bodies of the four tourists, has
returned. He reports that from the
height from which the victims wsre swept
only leg and packet ppotruding from
the snow were visible.

the conference that there was a full and
candid discussion of the merits of the
last plan proposed for the settlement of
the strike. He says that the committee

plan had their cordial support, and they
felt that the miners of the district would

tion was taken by the men. but Col
Rend is confident if left to their own con-

row, at which it is expected resolutions
will be adop.ed declaring Col. Rend's
men will return to work at the rate pro-

United States government is to make

supposed to be in British territory, and
that the territory which is claimed as

by the United States officials to the dis

boundary line has never been determin-

claiming to possess information as to

NOT IN ALASKA,
Says Gen. DufReId Of the Coast and Geodetic
Survey.
Alaska -

Washington, Sept. 2.-Gen. Duffield,
superintendent of the coast and geodetic
survey, who has been prominently iden-
titled in determining the line between
Alaska and the British Northwest Ter
ritory, is not impressed with the proba-
bility of trouble between this govern
ment and Great Britain over the Ioca-
tion of the Klondike gold fields.
1t is true, he said. when shown the dis
patch from Port Townsend, that the To-
cation of the line between the two coun-
tries has not yet been formally accepts d.
but the location of the line between the
two countris is we'll settled. The 141st
meridian has been accepted as a bound
ray between Russia and Great Britain
and nothing remains for us to do but to
locate the meridian. Thef location was
made ON the north at Porcupine river by
our surveyors, and in the vicinity of the
Yukon by the Canadians under Ogilvie,
and their work was then checked by our
men. We found that when Ogilvie's line
crossed Forty Mile creek 1t was 15-100 of
a second or six feet and nine inches too
far east and when it crossed the Yukon
jt was IA seconds or 618 feet too far west
Thus vt may be seen that the line as To-
Gated by Ogilvie is substantially correct.
There is no possibility of an error, the
correction of which could place the new
gold region in American territory. AT
the nearest point Dawson City is fifty
miles on the Canadian side of THE Ogil-
vie line. -
If the treaty now ba,fore the senate pro-
viding for fixing the boundary is ratified
a commission win be appointed to per-
form this duty. 1t is considered more
than probable that the Ogilvis survey will
be accepted.

CIVIL SERVICE VICTIMS.
Protest of Kicked Out Employees of an Internal
Revenue Office Failed of Results.

Washington, Sept 2.-The employees of
the office of Col. James D. Brady, col
lector of internal revenue for the Rich
mond, Va, district, have protested to
the treasury department because Col.
Brady did not reappoint them, and have
set up the claim that in failing to do so
Col. Brady violated the civil service reg
ulations.
AT the internal revenue bureau it is
pointed out that by law each collector
is authorized to appoint, after examina-
tion, such persons as he may think
proper. The old employees, If they are
to continue their tenure, must be ap-
pointed by each succeeding collector.
Under the exceptions made by Presi-
dent McKinlsys recent order one deputy
and one stamp deputy are exempted
from those who must be appointed under
the civil service regulations. While
each collector can exercise his discretion
about reappointing his predecessors dep
uties, If he does not choose to do SO he
must make new appointments, with the
exceptions noted, from the eligible list.
If there is no eligible list, he may, under
the law, make temporary appointments
for thirty days.
