The rain of Saturday night though
heavy, did not inJnre the standing gram.
Wheat is much better on the high
lands this year than on the low lands
Farmers in this county are now in the
midst OF harvest. One hears but very
few complaints.
Reports of the hay crop throughout
the United States make it the heaviest
crop grown for years.
The price of wheat and rye has gone
up. Wheat brought IS cents In the
Manitowoc market yesterday.
While the storm of Saturday night did
not do much damage IN this section, it
did elsewhere In the state. AT Galesyille
the fall was six inches in few hours and
crops were badly damaged.
The crop report for the week is very
favorable for the entire section of the
state. There are some complaints OF
rust and smut on late sOwn oats.
Prospects for the potato crop are not
promising. Early potatoes are being
dug.
Forty steamers were chartered las,
week to take gram from New York, Phil
adelphi;., Baltimore, and Newport News

There was always an exhibition of

But the great deficit in times of peace
occurred for the month Of July just
past The expenditures exceeded The

the government were extraordinary

to mean increased expenditure. But

IT Is said that China contemplates the

and this country formed the idea that the
gold standard was the proper one. But
1T is doubtful that China will accept the
standard. That empire looks upon pro-

financial policy In harmony with its pro-
gressive spirit. 1t may be doubtful.
whether the gold standard is the beet for
China. It's commercial life is sluggish

The Sheboygan Telegram makes
itself the posthumous recipient of a
criticism offered by The Pilot on the
practice of holding Cleveland respon
sible for the panic of 1898 before any
Legislation was initiated by the demo
cratic party, while insisting that Me
kinley should not be held responsible
for failure to restore prosperity be
fore remedial legislation is enacted.
If 1.-The dread of what is, the fear of
what is to be- had potency to destroy
the certainty of change for the better
in Legislation should bring about in
slant recuperation. Hope should be
AS inspiring as fear Is dispiriting.
These propositions are not recipro
cal, but they are identical equations
having the signs changed. If you &C
cept the truth of one you must that
of the other, else you are quibbling.
The truth Is that protection is NO
more able to restore prosperity than
free trade is to destroy it, and the
fear of one Is rs impotent as faith in
the other. Business is not built on
legislation and it is as foolish rs it is
unwise to assert that it is, Intelligent
people know the scource of prosperity
and know what the hindrances are.
To insist that Legislation is the chief
factor is either an appeal to ignorance
or an ignorant argument. The frs.
Is reprehensible, the latter pitifuI and
both dangerous Points of economic
belief thai are inherited are nothing
more than prejudices, and country
governed by prejudices Is poorly gov
erned. The Inconsistency which The
Pilot pointed out is persisted in with
almost brazen effrontery through the
confident feeling that partisansaip is
SD blind that it cannot see.

The sympathy of the people in the
coal re gions of Pennsylvania is with
the strikers decidedly. There is a
cause for this as strike is generally
injurious to all lines of business. The
cause must be that it is known the
miners are not paid living wages. The
owners of coal mines make large prof
its. They ask for protection on the
ground that they desire to pay good
wages. But they limit their beneh
cence to mere professions,

The accidental shooting of his
friend by John Tickle at Monroe

suit of extreme carelessness Care
lessness in the use of firearms is al
ways criminal. Trickle was loading his
gun and was careless enough to have
the mnzzle pointing toward his friend
while he did 50. He was an expert
enced shot and should have known
better. 1t is an easy matter to get a
gun out of range of bystanders and
this little trouble should always be
taken as matter of precaution.
