ELECTION OF POLICE OFFICERS
Many Candidates Are Waiting Anx-

The police election comes WEDNESDAY
I'D TO this time only -four men have de-
ciarod for the three positions OF captain
They arc: Captains Jennings. Manley' JOIN
or ana Sergeant Thompson. The announce
n,ant ~ the latter has spread iitle con-
fusion i'm the camp. for it is known that
Sergeant Thompson is q very conservative
man. and the chances are he would not
come out in the race If ne did not
have reasonable assurance that there was
going 10 be "a vacancy. The three men
who now serve in the capacity Of captain
are about the most popular men on the
force and the report that one of their
number. is going 60 get left has occasioned
considerable surprise.

election" said gentleman yesterday "but
the way things stand now there is a strong
chance of one of the captains getting left
in this race. They are all of them strong
men. and # S possible for the weak place
to be strengthened. but unless something
of a patch is put on there is going to be a
surprise for somebody

INTERESTING TALK ON TIMELY TOPICS

Last night DIR. Walker Lewis entered
upon his duties as pastor of the FIRST
Methodist church. DR.. Hopkins. the retir-
ing pastor. sat beside him in the pulpit.
Unexpectedly the change in pastors took
place without any display or elaborate
musical programme. DR.. Lewis has mere
" taken up the work Of Dr. Hopkins
He preached last night on the ''Timeli-
ness of Divine Grace" He took his text
from the Sth and 9th verses of the seven
teenth chapter of first Kings, which tells
of Elijah the prophet, being commanded
by the Lord in time of famine 70 go into
a neighboring city and become guest or
a widow woman, who would give him
food
DR. Lewis said the text told a story of
embarrassment and relief. 1t brought en-
barrassment to the prophet because ne low
ed the people Yet the subsequnt occur
ences was Gods relief.
lie said that the prophet. seeing that
the natives had revoted against and Tor
saken God had determined TO bring them
back to the true faith Therefore ne IN
vaded the very heavens, ana through ms
faith had authority over the laws OF ma
ture. and caused a famine to come over
the land. This brought forth the rage
of the king: the mcrciless persecution;
then followed Eljah's flight He came
to the dried-up brook and stood face 10
face with starvation. It was here that
the Lord made His wonderful visitation

to the city where dwelt the widow
DR. Lewis here pictured EhJah as q
man who possessed a degree Of worldly
pride. - man who had accomplished 50
many wonderful things that he must have
felt some self-impOrtance. Consequently
when the command came to 90 to a
poor widow woman for food ana SH7-
tainance it was embarrassing. II he had
been told To go to some rich person tlete
would have been no embarrassment but
that was not Gods way. God was cap
able TO meet all emergencies. But lie dld
not meet them before the emergency
came.

Mckinley Oh Prosperity.

President Mckinley $ comment on
the improved and improving condi-
tions Of the times is short, sensible
and sagacious. He does not claim
that the Dingley bill nourished the
bountiful crops which were in the
ground before the bill went into the
senate He does not insist that all
the awakening yawnS OF prosperity
are directly attributable to Republi-
can legislation. He does dot throw
any bouquets at himself as the add
vance agent of prosperity,
On the contrary he points out that
the healthful upward tendency Ct
prices for farm products OF the west
is caused by natural conditions which
legislation cannot affect either adj
versly or otherwise. A lolg crop
here and short crop elsewhere have
created an active market at home
and abroad for wheat and other
cereals. Our farmers are being
made glad and when the farmers are
glad everybody else including the
president catches the contagion.
But the Improvement of the farm
ers market, while resting upon
natural causes, does not explain why
the manufacturers of the east have
taken on new courage and hope. The

HALF \ BILLION FOR THE
FARMERS.

Careful computations made by the
experts of the agricultural depart
ment at Washington show that the
farmers of the United States will re-
ccivc as the result Of the advance in
prices for this seasons products
about $500, 600, 0O0 or half billion
of dollars. Cattle, wheat, corn, po-
tatocs, cotton, sheep, swine and wool,
eight of our chief staples. alone will
yield about $40, 900, 600. The re-
ccipts from cattle will amount to
about 500, 900, 900, the largest amount
to be obtained from any one source.
1t is estimated that the farmers of
the country Will get some $500, 900, :
900 more for their products than
they received u year ago. The crops
this year are not 50 large as they
were in 1896, but the better prices
more than make up for any deticien-
cy in quantity. The fact is that
large crops generally bring low
prices, a natural result OF great
abundance, and farmers get less for
their labor in raising and harvest
ing such "a crop than they would if
they had fewer bushels of grain fruit
or potatoes, and got more per bush
ell. Potatoes, for example, are
bringing nearly twice as much as
they did year ago, The potato
crop OF 1896 was so immense and the
price so low that thousands of bush
els were wasted because it would
not pay to care for them.
The general effect upon the in
tcrcsts of farmers from the fairly
good crops and the advanced prices
Of this year will vastly contribute
to the good of the country On no
class of our population has the de
preston of the past few years had
more disastrous effects than upon
the farmers, and the whole country
is congratulating them upon the
brighter prospects before them.

farmers might get 50 bushel for
corn and that would not start any
idle spindles or light up smoldering
forge fires. Something besides
natural buoyancy and embryotic
confidence has quickened the pulse
of industry. That something is the
protective tariff President Nc
Kinley has perceived its effects and
in common with every other patriot
is cheerfully eager TO acknowledge
its welcome agency.
1t is true that when the farmers
are prosperous all other classes are
prosperous. 1t is true also that
when the industrial classes are pros
porous the farmers are prosperous.
Doubtless many of the symptoms of
returning prosperity arise out of
sympathy, but sympathy would have
no adequate vehicle for expressing
itself if we had no protective tariff
law on the atute books. The law
holds back foreign competition at a
time when we need to give all our
forces of production an unobstructed
field in which to be developed.
President Mckinley is too saga
cious to claim for the Dingley law
more than can be justified
by the logic of the protection argu-
ment. 1t is-not making two blades
OF grass grow where only one grew
before, but it is giving courage and
confidence to our manufacturers and
will eventually restore our indus
tries to that prosperity which we
ali look forward TO with impatient
hope. Detroit Journal.
