A GREAT WHITE CITY
One Thousand Tents Have Been Assig ned
for the Reunion.

One Thousand Tents Have Been Asslg ned
for the Reunion.
The several committees on arrange
ments for the G.. A. II. state reunion
held a meeting last Friday night at
the Commercial club rooms. ReportZ
OF committees were listened to. Thd
were very encouraging, so the execn,
committee feels that the success of the
reunion will exceed hat of last year.
The quartermaster reported that he
had assigned 1,200 tents already and
expected to have more calls and 200
extra had been engaged for emcrgen-
cies. Seven bands have been arranged
for, but their location was not made
KNOWN. At any rate the reunion will
have plenty of music. The railroads
have made a single fare for the round
trip. SO visitors may attend at small
expense. The privilege committee re-
ported that it had taken in 81 900 for
merry-go-rounds and other rights.
This exceeds the sum lying snugly in,
the treasury at this time last year by
several hundred dollars.

Mr.. Bryan reviewed n parade of 15,O Oo

In a pamphlet written by a dis.

the assertion that the prosperity of
FARMERS and laborers depends upon
The prosperity Of the business men.
80 long as one entertains such an idea
he is certain to entertain crroneous

al n commercial classes will find
upon investigation that they rest upon
those whose brain and muscle convert
the natural of the country
into material wealth.
Not only must any real prosperity

nations progress toward higher civil.
lization must be measured by the pro.
gress made by the producing classes
Under every form of government It
has been possible to point to a fcw
persons possessed of means and re.
fneinent, but 1t is the average p,,o.
gress, no the progress of the few.
that must be considered.
Arbitration Of differences between
large corporations and their EMPLOYEES
Is one of the political reforms most
needed by wage Until ar.
bitration is secured. the strike is the
only way within the reach of labor.
Society at large is interested in the
application OF the principle of arbitra-

%IRELAND'S CROP FAILURE.
Potatoes, Grain aud Hay Destroycd-Tbe
Whole Crop Ruined.


whole Crop Ruined.
LONDON, Sept. Special inquiries
throughout Ireland fully c~orroborate
the alarming predictions cabled Satur-
day OF the failure Of the harvest and a
consequent impending famine. Cries
Of warning to the government are ris'
ing in a crcscendo scale from all parts
Of Ireland. They are not confined, as
in former years of distress, To the con-
gested districts of the western sea-
board.
From Mullingar, one OF the most
prosperous parts OF Midlands, a cor
respondent telegraphs: The crops
are O irretricvably destroyed. II
will be impossible for the farmers to
make anything Of their cereals this
year, as they arc quickly rotting. IL a
| change does net come Immediately the
| crops might as well be left to manure
the ground"
From County Wexford. noted as one
OF the richest in the country, the It'd
ings are: ''The green crop may be
described as n gigantic failure In Coun-
ty Wexford this year The greater
part of the potato crop Is fit only for
cattle feeding"
From ~Fcrmanagh, in Ulster, a COR
respondent telcgraphs: "At n meeting
held here TO ask for n reduction in
rents, all the parish priests presiding,
declared that not since black lsi7
have the prospects for farmers in this
district been SO bad. In several places
the potatoes have been a failure. Hun
dreds of tons Of hay have been ruined
by the heavy rains and floods
From Carlow, known as 1.-The model
country" comes the following dis
patch: "There is before our farmers
an outlook as disastrous Is IL is pos
siblc TO conceive. owing to the fright
full weather. A great deal of the
corn out early remains in the stalks.
injured beyond recovery. In many
districts the farmers have been unable
to cut their crops, which present the
s%addening spectacle of being leveled
to the earth by the persistent rains,
while a mass OF second growth and
weeds has come up. The a%pprehen-
sions concerning potatoes also have
been dismally realized"
At n meeting Of u board OF guar
dams at Mitchellstown, County Cork,
the chairman said: The potato crop
is generally a failure, while the other
crops have been hopclcssly injured by
the unparalleled ~inclenency of the
season. We are on the verge Of q
great agricultural crisis. The outlook
in farming affairs Is gloomy in the ex-
trcme, and to aggravate the condition
Of affairs caused by the failure Of the
potato crop, the prices Of provisions
are considerably increased, and before
long the people who are supposed to
contribute to the poor rates would be
in the workhouse themselves
These evidences of the widespread
character of the ruin wrought by the
Indictment season are merely samples
from numerous reports received. The
Irish government has adopted no
measures yet to cope with the threat
encd famine.

Inspector Crabtree Feels Confident of In.
creased University Attendance.

When spoken to with reference to
the probable attendance at the uni
versity this year. j. w. Crabtree, in
spector of accredited schools, said: II
am Of the opinion that the attendance
Will reach two thousand this year and

over sixteen hundred and there is sure
to be an increase this year
II base my estimate on what l got
