R.4I;;NBOWc PROSPERITY.

The department OF agriculture esti.
mates the total wheat crop OF tlhf United
States as 4OO, 5000 bushels, orl32 ,OOO,-
600 bushels more than last year, While
the shortage in India, Russia, Australia,
Argentina, and other wheat puoducing
countries, will be equal 70 one-teuth of
the worlds crop. Wheat is on the Jump,
and silver is making a new low price re-
cord every day or two. These are facts
of the greatest political Significance
which are only now beginning to be ap-
preciated. The puerile populist couten-
tion that there is such close sympathy
between silver and farm products that
when silver fell wheat became cheap, has
been finally disposed Of in the most effec-
tive and convincing manner. There is no
arguing against the clink OF gold in the
farmers pocket, and one year Of such
good crops as are now promised in the
west and south will do more to take the
force out Of the arguments of the popo-
Gratis than millions of disquisitions on
finance and political economy -Minnea-
polls Journal.
The above is a sample of the
stuff that appears in the gold-bug
organs each day in their efforts to
convince the people that the gold
standard is the country's only hope
of salvation. But if we take their
own argument it will be found
sufficient for any common sense
populist to support and defend his
position in favor of the principle
of bimetallism. The ''puerile pop
ulist contention" that there is
such close sympathy between
silver and farm products that when
silver falls wheat becomes cheap,
is as true to-day, under normal
conditions, and has as solid foun-
dations as it ever had-the blood
sucking Hannaites to the contrary
Notwithstanding Silver today is
worth IS cents per ounce. Wheat
is worth 70 cents per bushel. If
India, Russia, Australia, Argenti-
ma and the other wheat producing
countries had raised even aver
age crop what would have been the
price of American wheat today?
It would have been in the neigh
borhood of so cent per bushel and
every farmer in North Dakota
knows it, and cannot be fooled
by any such rainbow promise of
prosperity as that put forth by the
gold bugs.
If there was no sympathy be-
tween the price of silver and farm
products, why does not the price
of oats, corn, cotton, pork, and all
such staple products Ct the farm
go sailing skyward along with
wheat. All of these are selling at
about the same price or lower than
they were year ago. Will some
confirmed Hannaite rise and ex-
plain, or. will they let it go. and
rest tLeir case on one years pros
perity to the wheat farmer.

SOLD ARMY SECRETS TO FRANCE "A
high treason trial in the Imperial
Court at Leipsic last week brought out
sensational details. Depot Master
Meinecke, Of the Artillery of Metz, was
shown to have been for years in close
connection with French spies and es-
pecially with the French Police Com
missioner Ismert and q coal dealer
named Hanne, of Montigny, to whom
Meinecke sold all sorts Of valuable ma
terial, such as new types of shells,
fuses, bullets used with the new riff
and lists of the plans for equipment
aud mobilization. Meineck made
enough money by this means to retire
recently from the army and live on the
interest of the proceeds of his rascality.
he was sentenced to six years and
three months hard labor, with loss of
civic honois for ten years. Two of the
witnesses against Meinecke were high
officers of the ministry Of war, who OBJ

POWERS AGAINST ENGLAND.


A dispatch from Berlin says: The
correspondent of the Associated Press is
reliably informed that during the past
week definite understanding was per-
fected by which the cabinets of Ger.
many, France and Russia will soon
reach the solution of the Egypt and
rransvaal questions, and this will be
done Systematically in an anti-British
sense.
As soon as the Greco Turkish trou-
BILE is settled the subject will be jointly
taken up, unless Great Britain in the
meanwhile precipitates matters, in
which case she will encounter the
united, open hostility of the three con-
tiDental powers.
The ultimate object of the agreement
is to force the evacuation Of Egypt and
the nullifcation of the Pretoria conven-
ton of 1856 and to put the Transvaal
upon perfectly independent basis.
France, in the settlement of the
peace conditions with Greece, will per
sistently side with Russia and Ger
many, in spite of the strong current of
public opinion to the contrary.
Both the bills proposed by the I'm
perial Chancellor, Prince Hohenlohe,
one reforming the right of association
and the other reforming the military
trials procedure, are understood to have
secured imperial approval, and the
German cabinet crisis is considered to
have been adjusted for the time. The
efforts for an increase of the German
navy will be vigorously urged.

People of Alexandria.
They Cure and Relieve Backache,
Diseases of the Kidneys, Blad-
der and Blood, and

Many Persons Cured and Many More
Receiving Benefit.
SALES ARE ENORMOUS.

About two weeks ago this paper gave
public notice that DR.. hobbs, the we'll
known specialist in diseases of the kid
neys, had made discovery which, if
his claims could be substantiated, would
revolutionize the treatment of all kid
ney diseases. In order that the public
might be given the benefit of this dis
covery without cost, they were not only
asked, but urged to call at Charles g..
Lemons Drug Store of this city, and
get trial package of DR.. Hobbs Spara-
gus Kidney Pills.
And that the claims of DR.. Hobbs
might be severely tested, physicians
were specially invited to procure sam
Piles and use them among their patients.
DR.. Hobbs faith in the value of his
discovery to suffering humanity was so
great that he staked the future of his
remedy in Alexandria upon the verdic,
of her citizens, regardless of their
wealth, poverty, position or profession.
The whole city was invited to partici-
pate in the test and render the verdict,
which meant much to him and much
more to the thousands suffering from
that most insidious and devastating
disease of this era-kidney trouble.
Everyone was enabled to form his own
judgment as to the value of this medi-
cine without prejudice. Does any sane
man or woman believe for one moment
that any physician would dare to so
openly challenge public opinion, were
he not absolutely certain of biz ground?
Reflect moment and consider this
point carefully.
The avidity with which people from
all grades of society availed themselves
OF Dr. Hobbs offer revealed the start
ling fact that there are great numbers
afflicted with kidney diseases in this
section.
