DEMAND FOR CARS.
The Corn Damaged, Rush of Cattle
to Market is Coming

Er1poria. Aug. 4.-The farmers along
the Howard branch of the Atchison
Topeka & Santa Fe have ordered IT'S
stock cars to ship their cattle to the
market. but the company can only fur
nish 75 of them, as stockmen all along
the line are wanting cars.
The corn crop is nearly failure and
the continued drought is making a poor
outlook for those raising cattle. Some
of the farmers have enough corn left
over to do them until next year, but
there are few of these.
A great many are deepening their
oldest wells in order to get down to wa
ter. The creeks are dry.

POwDERLY'S APPOINTMENT

Powderly's appointment ought to
give general satisfaction, but it will
not. 1t proved a genuine surprise, but
that is not against it, or should not be
Fellows who as leaders Of labor organ
iZations, while assuming to take no
hand in politics, but who were really
working for Bryan, with great show
of Indignation protested against Pow
Mckinley and prosperity. These at
least will claim that the president has
made a great mistake. But POwderly
had an unquestiOnable right to adyO-
cate the election of Mckinley, who, in
turn. had an unQuestionable right TO
give him an Office of honor and great
responsibility. AS the former head of
the Knights of Labor, he simply work
ed for what he deemed the interest Of
labor. In that he was both consistent
and loyal Being prominent advocate
of the cause of workingmen, of course
he proved influential in the campaign.
This it was which made the dema-
gogues, who were working underhand-
ed, very sore. AS a friend and repre-
sentative of American workingmen the
place could not have gone more appro-
priately to any other man. There is no
question as to the ability of Terrence
V. Powderly to discharge the duties of
the position of commissioner of immi-
grafton. His connection for so long a
time with the labor elements of the
country, which embraced a large per
cent of immigrants, renders him pecul-
iarly fit, and President Mckinley no
doubt chose wisely and rewarded faith

GROWING TO BE SERIOUS.

Sir Charles Dixie announced in the
English house Of commons, day before
yesterday, that it was his conviction
that 'the gravest foreign question at
the present moment grows out Of our
relations with the United States, and If
the matter is not dwelt upon it is be-
cause the government Is conscious that
in these difficult matters it can not
count upon the support of the entire
house."
The announcement officially made in
London that the conference to be held
at Washington in the coming autumn
on the seal question, and in which all
the powers interested. including Japan
and Russia. are to take part, will not
meet for the purpose of imposing fresh
restrictions on pelagic sealing, but
solely with the view Of arriving at the
existing state Of facts, was probably
intended chiefly to reconcile Canadian
public opinion to the prospect of re-
opening of the discussion. The consen-
sus of the experts and scientists who
have examined this question is practi-
cally perfect. There is no room for
doubt that more than three-fifths of the
victims Of the pelagic hunters are COW
seals. and that the killing of the cows,
and the consequent starvation of the
pups must lead to the early extinction
of the herds. This being the case, and
all parties in interest having assented
TO the deSirability of preserving the fur
seals, some revision of the rules for the
better assurance of this result is inev-
table
There is no question but that Sher
mans straightforward and unanswera-
bic letter TO Salisbury has stirred up
the English people. The business Of
is, principally, to lie smooth
ly and acceptably. But Sherman
blurted out stinging truths, facts which
he is ready to support and prove. The
London press forgot their dignity and
went all TO pieces, but the cold facts of
Sherman stand unanswered, and the
more wise and conservative of English
like Dixie, are alarmed.
