IOtrn Topics has this to say OF our
once fellow townsman and now citizen
of the world. Mr. Charles Gates Dawes.
"A remarkable parsonage is about to
burst upon Washington. Mr.. Charles
CATS Dawee. who is to succeed Mr..
Ecklee as Comptroller of the Currency,
will move from Evanston, ILL.,, to the
national tapital prepared to take charge
Of the administration. Mr.. Dawes is
the most wonderful product of the nat
ioral campaign OF 1896. By a meteoric
dash he leaped, in year or two. from a
cheap clerkship in railroad office into
the possession Of $4,000 or $4,000.
When the campaign for Mr.. McKinley's
nomination began he became very active
in the movement in northern Illinois.
After the st. Louis convention this &C.
iivity became cyclonic and Mr.. Dawes
was ever in the full blaze OF the calcium
light. After the election he swoop- d
down on Major Mckisley and dem 9nded
place in his Cabinet. The nerve OF
the demand dazed the President-elect.
and while he was still in q comatose
condition he promised the genius from
Evanstown the Comptrollersbip Of the
Currency. a place for which he has no
training and apparently no more fitness
than an ordinary counter hopper in a
dry goods store. He had no sooner OBJ
tanned the pledge from Major Nc
Kinley than he had himself billed

As usual, the Globe misses the point.
\ The local papers argument IS, and il
can be and IS proven every day, that It
pays the farmer better, and usually the
goods are actually cheaper in price, to
trade at home thansto patronize foreign
houses OR peddlers. Time and again,
the catalogue prices of department stores

dealers and the 1ocalsp prices proved to be
the cheapest.
If the local dealer does not sell the
cheapest then all lie newspaper talk in

WILSON wsAUsHD STRIKE

Z The coal miners strike has brought to
the public attentii some facts as to the
effect Of the Wilson tariff law upon this
industry. The Wilson law, it will be re-
membered, reduced the rates of duty on
coal 35 cents per ton, it having been Is
cents per ton underthe Mckinley law
and reduced to- accents per ton under
the Wilson law Curiously President
Ratchford of the United Mine Workers
Association states tht the wages Of min
ers have been reduced about IS cents
per ton since 1893 the very yearin which
the free-tradesconaFess met and began
framing the Wilson act. which reduced
duties So cents per ton. The moment
the Wilson law passed, coal from the
Nova Scotia mines began invading TIE
markets on the Atlantic coast, especially
New England, ands,drove out of those
markets the West Virginia coal, which
had always found an outlet at fair prices.
This West Virginia coal was thus COM
PEELED to seek aSmarket in the west in
competition with the Goals of Ohio, In
diana. Illinois, Kentucky. The result
was sharp competition, a fall in prices,
ruinous rate war, not only between
mine owners, but also between the rail-
roads, and as consequence reduction
in the wages Of miners. Thus the very

How far censns loI sofs
years expiates the crime 4 of riding Into it,
apeacefll q community, robbing the bank,
shooting the cashier, and putting scores
ofothers into imminent danger by fly
ing bullets, is in itself a question. Cole
Younger in a recent article which he
gave out for publication claims, that he
did not want to murder anybody, but
did great deal to save life on that oc-
casion, and argues that he should now
be rewarded for his kind-heartedness.
Well, perhaps Cole would have preferr-
ed that the Northffeid people should
have let him rob the bank without resist
ance. but there was one man who did
not resist, who was murdered in cold
blood, after the robbers knew they had
failed in their object, and while Cole
Younger did not fire the shot, he was
guilty of that murder, for it was his brain
that conceived the plan, and he. was the
leader of the gang, that made murder
at the outset at least probable.
Asto protection to society, in this
northwestern country to-day are thous-
ands Of bank cashiers and other men
whose business tits to handle and care
for other peoples money. The strict
est honesty is required Of them and their
courage and. bravery is expected to pro-
tect that money, and many one has
risked his life, yes and lost his life, try
ing to protect the property intrusted to
him. These men are to-day, sitting in
their Offices as was Haywood; Of North
field twenty-one years ago. There is
only one protection to them or for. them.
1t is the certain, and adequate punish
ment by law of any man or gang Of men
who attempts to break the law. Il is
true that to-day there are thousands Of
banks which it would be simple mat
ter for two OF three or half a dozen men
to rob. but il IS not often done, why? Be
cause the men who would do sucl, things
know what the result would be. They
know the Youngers are in prison. &
When the cashiers Of all the banks in
Minnesota, the Dakotas and Other north
western states, unite in a. petition asking
for the pardon of the Youngers, on tie
ground that with them at liberty, they
Twill feel just as safe as before, then win

Notwithstanding the fact that Tewfk
Pasha announced at the meeting of EN-
bassadors Thursday that the Porte ac-
cepted the principle OF a strategic from
tier, the Government is still wriggling in
an attempt to escape from the result of
that acceptance. The ambassadors held
another meeting yesterday. The proceed
ings were considerably DELAYED by the
late arrival OF Tewfk Pasha When finally
he did arrive he explained the Sultan had
detained him, ana then proceeded 10 sub
NIT new plan for the delimitation of the
frontier The EN- bassadors found the plan
not acceptable. They informed Tewhk
the conference would meet again as soon
as he brought a written acceptance OF the
frontier as traced by the military attaches
of the Embassies. The Foreign Minister
then returned to Yildiz kiosk, and mat
ters have not advanced in the slightest de-

ALMOST A FATAL FAILURE.
Insects Have Caused Great Havoc Win
the Maryland and Delaware
Pe1ch Crops

BALTIMORE, MD, July 18.-Special
Agent Mills OF the Philadelphia, Whining
ton and Baltimore Railway Company. has
made an estimate Of the Maryland and
Delaware peach crop. He predicts the
crop an almost total failure. Peaches
have nearly all vanished from the trees.
The "June drop" this season is the heavi-
est in the history of peach culture on the
peninsula, and growers who anticipated
the Lifting of mortgages by this crop have
had their hopes blasted. The damage was
done by the curculio. Wherever the in
sect stings the peach it is sure to fall. So
numerous have been these destructive in
sects that Mills noticed in an orchard
near Seaford peach that had thirteen
stings on it. This orchard is no excep-
ton.
The cause OF the rapid increase of the
curculio is mystery to fruit-growers, but
Mills says it is the fault of the farmers
them selves. In 1895 and 1896 there were
large crops of peaches, and the ground
under the trees was covered with peaches
that had either rotted and fallen off or
had been thrown there as culls and left to
rot. Instead of the growers picking the
decayed fruit up, as is done in California,
it was left there for these insects to

The Christian Endeavor was led by Mrs.
Birch at $3.50 O'Clock and was largely
attended. At s, DR.. B. B. Tyler of New
York, one of the best-known ministers of
the Christian Church, delivered one Of the
best sermons that has been listened to at
the convention. He preached from the
tex { Then satin the Lord, Stand ye in
The wav, and see and ask for the old
paths, where is the good way and walk
therein, and ye shall find rest for your
souls"
1.-THE primitive love is supreme love to
God" said he, with such an affection for
men as will lead to service in their behalf,
because of their relation to Him. 1t we
love God, we must love the children OF
God. If any one fails to love his fellow
men, he does not truly love God. Thus far
the restoration OF Primitive Christianity
is desirable and practicable.
"But what about the ordinances-bap-
tism and the supper of the Lord? 1t is
evident from the teaching and conduct OF
the apostles that they understood Jesus
to purpose the perpetual observance OF
these rites by his people. Baptism and
communion stand as fitting expressions
of the essential faith and hope and love.
They are the divinely prescribed Language
in which believers declare their faith and
hope and love. In this connection they
possess special value; out of this connec-
tion and apart from this purpose they are
destitute of meaning"
The attendance at this convention is the
largest in the history of the association,
and the in terest this year exceeds chat Of
any previous session.

Thousands.

NEW YORK, N. Y, July 18.-1n Mrs.
Mary Hansen, who posed in Brooklyn for
more than year as the wife OF Admiral
Hansen of the Danish navy" the police
of this city think they have discovered
Ellen Peck, anotorious confidence woman
who has swindled many wealthy men in
this city and Brooklyn during her long
career of crime, and who is known
throughout the country and abroad as one
of the cleverest swindlers. Mr.. and Mrs.
William Simpson, who aided the swind-
ling, posing as her son and daughter-n-
law, are now under arrest. The principal
victims of the latest game are DR.. Chris
topher Lott, a wealthy Brooklyn physl-
clan, and a trained nurse, Nellie Shea.
The services of both were pIoyed and
their bills promptly paid. Mrs. Hansen
told them in various conversations that
the admiral was coming home soon.
Meanwhile his fortune of $60, 900, 600 was
