NORTHWESTERN WHEAT.
Notwithstanding Various Drawbacks
Has About Held Its Own.

Ne. withdrawing Various Drawbacks It
Has About Held Its Own.
ST. PAUL, July 20.-Throughout the
Northwest the weather has been all
that was desired. In Minnesota the ex.
cessive rains of 10 days ago have been
followed by clear, warm meather, with
only occasional local showers that did
no damage, and, except to wheat lying
on low land which is still suffering
from an excess of moisture, were favor
able to growth. In the eastern half of
South Dakota, on the other hand, where
hot winds threatened to do damage,
heavy rains and cooler weather in.
spired hopes Of a good crop. Even
North Dakota, the reports from which
were not very bright, records a change
for the better. Damage by hail in the
last named state during the previous
week is estimated at 100000 acres,
with $4,000 acres totally destroyed. It
is doubtful if the damage in Min.
nesota to the wheat acreage ex.
ceeded the North Dakota fig.
ures. In North Dakota the greatest
damage was wrought in Foster, Barnes,
Cass and Pembina counties, the latter
county losing at least 10000 acres.
In Blue Earth chinch bugs are re-
ported numerous and busy, but are con-
fined to the section bordering ON the
Blue Earth river, and are just at pres
ent paying nearly all their attention to
barley. The cool weather that has gen.
orally prevailed has given strength to
the plants to resist ordinary storms, and
the complaints Of rust are only scatter
ing. Little damage from this source il
looked for. The weevil is reported in
Brown county, S. D.
Making Up Lost Time.
From all over Minnesota come re
ports Of wheat heading splendidly
Even in the Red river valley, where 81
late q crop was expected that there were
fears of damage by early frosts, matur
ing has gone on SO rapidly that it is ex
pected that harvest will commence a
early as in 1896.
The hot moist weather of a week agt
brought on rust in many sections il
Iowa, but the cooler spell that followed
has checked its progress. Spring whea
will not yield heavily.
In Wisconsin wheat conditions are re
ported favorable.
In Montana, continued favorable
weather throughout the Gallatin ant
Bitter Root valleys makes the prospec
of a heavy crop excellent. In Idaho
Washington and Oregon conditions ar
also favorable.
In Manitoba, a lack Of moisture
complained of, too little rain having
fallen. No definite complaint Of dam
age has been made yet.

ERIOUSTIME NOW
Crisis in the Strike of the Btu
minOus Miners Evidently
at Hand.
Pittsburg Operators Will Start
Up Unless West Virginians
Come Out.
Do Not Relish Having All Their
Contracts Filled by
Rivals.

P1rrsBURa, July 20.-Unless the
miners leaders are able to get the West
Virginia diggers out early this week,
the local strike situation promises to
grow very interesting about the last Of
this week, and to colne to a crisis next
Monday morning. AS indicated in the
press dispatches, several Of the
local operators have announced that
they are tired seeing their contracts get
away from them, and that the mines
now supplying their trade must be
stopped or their own mines will be put
into operation. The district executive
board of miners organization has been
notified as above by a corps of the more
important operators. AS was said early
in the strike, all depends upon Pitts
burg, and unless Pittsburg is able to
shut down the West Virginia mines, it
il probable that the strike will be broken
before there is o chance to complete the
arbitration uniformity arrangement.
Would Cause q Rush For Work.
The miners officials admit that should
any Of the big mines of the district now
idle be put into operation, a majority of
the other diggers of the district would
return to work at once. It is said that
should the Boreland, any Of the Rob.
bins, or any Of the Wheeling division
mines be started up, the rest would soon
fall into line. This admission was
made by a member of the local execu.
tive board. The Pittsburg operators
have lost thousands and thousands Of
dollars since the trouble began. They
have lost part Of their very best ship
ping season, and it has been necessary
to turn their contracts over to operators
in West Virginia, and in the Central
Pennsylvania fields to be worked till
the strike is over. The prospects Of a
long strike, and the possibility of it last.
ing until their contracts have all been
filed, is what has stirred the operators
to action. The operators propose to get
together and start n or two Of the i'm.
portant mines in case the West Virginia
expedition Of labor agitators is unsuc'
cessful. They are to unite in an effort
to get sufficient men to successfully
man one or two of the big mines, get q
large force of deputy eheriffs and begin
turning out coal for the lakes.
Would Pay Good Wages.
Part Of the plan is to pay the miners
70 cents, or even IS cents, if it be neces
sary to get them to work.
The Pittsburg operators will wait a
day or two. If the West Virginia men
are still at work Wednesday agents Of
the local companies will go on a Skin
mish for men. At the same time appli'
cation will be made to the sheriff for q
large force Of deputies.
The miners officials are banking
everything on the ability Of the labor
organizers to get the West Virginia
miners out. They say that in case the
operators do try to transfer the fight te
this district all the forces now at work
in West Virginia will be brought to this
state and put to work.

assert that he did vote for and sup
port ticket composed Of white men
and negroes against the regularly
nominated Democratic ticket COM
posed of white men. But we do as
sert it is currently reported that he
did do these things. There are many
voters of both the Conservative and
Reform factions who are willing to
forget the mistake made by good
men who voted for Judge Haskell,
but they Will not forget those who
went so far as to appeal to and vote
for negroes against white men with
whom they have always been in poll
cal utilization.
In this County, some of as patriotic
citizens as the country has, voted for
Judge Haskell, but these men would
have scorned the idea Of a fusion
with the Republicans and negroes;
they voted for Haskell principally as
a protest to Tillman, and not that
they had renowned their fealty to
the Democratic party. We think
they made a mistake, but the white
men who aided and encouraged ta-
sion County ticket against the regular
white mans ticket showed Wiling
ness to resort to any measure to
crafty their prejulices. and If }. NJ
johnson was one of these men we
think he should let the people know
it over his own signature.

IRBY,S MISERABLE EFFORT.

The opening meeting Of the Sena-
torial campaign at Sumter On Mon
day was boisterous one, and if the
rest of the campaign is to be judged
by this meeting, there will be some
lively times
Ex-senator Irby and Senator Nc
Laurin were the only speakers, Mr..
May6eld not being present, and Sen
ator McLaurin was the first speaker.
As is characteristic of him he pitched
his speech upon a high and dignifed
plane, and discussed national issues
that are of vital Importance to the
people OF the nation, but when Col.
IrbY was introduced he Immediately
went into abuse and criticisms and
in his spirit of jealousy and disap-
pointment tried to tear down the
reputation OF McLaurin, in every re-
spect his superior.
Col. Irby seems to have lost his
head, as no well balanced man could
have acted as he did. He did not
discuss measures, but thrashed over
old abuse, n. 6. Gonzales, editor Of
the 'sState," occupying a good por-
ton of his discussion.
Poor Eby! He is q dead issue and
cannot realize ii. He is catering for
the Conservative vote, and even if
things were as bitter as they were in
1890, they would not support man
starting out as Irby did on Monday.
When a public speaker calls his audi
ence henchmen and has to oe re-
buked by the chairman Of the meet
ing for his abuse of his hearers as
Col. Irby was rebuked by that digni-
fed gentleman, Mr.. Purdy, last Mon
day, and is also rebuked by many in
the audience, it is pity that he can
not see and become sufficiently dis
gusted with himself as to remain
quiet hereafter in this race.

Week before last the Marion "Star'
published extracts from other news
papers alluding to Hon. J. NJ. John
son and some of Mr.. Johnson's friends
have taken it to mean an endorse
ment of that gentleman's candidacy.
We therefore reproduce what the
same paper has to say about our can
didatc, Captain D. J. BradLam and
Captain Ferd D. Bryant, another con-
testant for the Congressional honor:
In this issue of the Star appears
the announcement Of Daniel J. Brad
ham, of Manning, S. c., as candi-
date to represent the Sixth Congress
sional District in Congress. Mr..
Bradham is q Confederate Veteran
with an empty sleeve, which speaks
volumes for the Southern cause
which he so faithfully represented.
He claims TO be in thorough accord
with Hon. John l.. McLauriu and
Hon. B. r. Tiliman upon all national
questions. which, he says, will enable
them to work together in perfect
harmony for the best interests Of
South Carolina. He says he is a
firm believer in the doctrine of
equal rights to all and special
privileges 10 none" the Fundamental
principle of the reform movement,
and if elected he will continue TO
work for the principles SO gallantly
maintained by that greatest of lead
erS, William Jennings Bryan
The formal announcement of Ed.
Bryant, Esq, for Congress, appears
in the Star" today We concur in
the opinion expressed some days ago
by the Marion correspondent of the
Columbia Register. that Mr.. Bry-
ant Will prove an important factor il
the campaign for Congress. Mr.. Bry-
ant is TOO well known in this County
TO need an introduction at our hands.
As lawyer, he is able and fearless.
As a speaker. he enjoys q reputation

State. He was Il Confederate soldier,
and. although Il beard!ess boy, made
for himself record that has gone
down upon the pages of history. he
has never before sought office, and if
elected. Will serve his constituents
honorably and well.
