Why Grain Should Be Held.

OTTUMwA, Ia, Sept. 2s.-The Farm
ers' Alliance of this county at recent
meeting decided to issue the following
advice to Iowa agriculturalists as to the
advlsability OF holding their grain for
higher prices: ''Within short time a
steady advance up to the 75-cent mark
at northwestern shipping points is GER
tain as death; and the farmers have the
game in their own hands if they play
with little caution. The reason upon
which we base our faith IN the better
price for wheat is that when the eron &c
1898 was harvested the worlds supply
from former years was practically ex-
hausted and the bread eating world is
now drawing its supplies from the crop
OF the present year.

It's property III the vast majority of in

dlsbursed by those who have cont ributed
little or nothing thereto. And yet it is
objected that corporate powers shall
not enter the arena of politics and up-
dertake to exercise an influence at the
polls. Within the lines of fairness
there can be no proper objection to any
corporation, whether it be an insurance,
bank or railway one, insisting upon hay

assaults on such corporations, on the

Realizes 1t Will Be Herculean Task tc
Reconcile the Conflicting Interests, But
Hopes Nations Will Allow Filipinos a
Fair Chance to Show They Are Capable
MANILA, Sept. 26.-The Filipino con
gress is engaged III the consideration
OF the question of raising funds to de-
tray expenses of the maintenance of the
army pending a decision by the Paris
conference. Hitherto the army of the
f1llpinos has been chiefly supported by
pubic subscription, but now the native
government contemplates the imposition
of various taxes.
The inhabitants of the northern prov
lnce. especially of Paning and Ilocis,
Hatly refuse to pay land or poll taxes
because it was the popular impression
that the revolutionists would abolish
taxation entirely The natives of Pam
pang and Pangasing, the very highest
agricultural provinces of the island and
those OF Ilocis and Zambales, who are
the sturdiest mountaineers, distrust the
Iagals and insist upon the establish.
ment of an American protectorate.
Yesterday the assembly debated the
question of a land tax. A majority of
the members were opposed to the main
tenance of a burden unequally distrib.
uted and unduly favoring the Tagalie
and demanded that statement of ex-
penditures be submitted before the mat
ter was decided. The statement was
not forthcoming and the question wss
shelved. Aguinaldo realizes the diff.
Guilty OF reconciling the conflicting in
terests, but hopes that the nations will
allow the Filipinos a fair chance to
show that they are capable of self gov
eminent Aguinaldo in an interview
says that "there is conclusive evidence
that many Spaniards and priests are in
trlguing with a faction of the natives
TO foment disturbances so that Ameri-
cans will believe the whole population
to be lrreconcilable.", He asserts that
the lntriguers pay money and provide
uniforms to persons who impersonate
rebel officers and enter the town. and
he accuses Eugene Blanco of being the
Chief paid agent of these intriguers.
In the course of an interview, Aguin-
aldo said that the Filipino fleet com.
prises eight steamers, which are now
engaged in conveying troops Tor a grand
campaign against the Spanish garrisons
in the southern islands. These vessels
are practically unarmed.
The Spanish gunboat Ell Cano, he
says recently entered Masbate, and
sunk the Filipino troop ship Burisan.
which was lying at anchor there. He
admitted the recent purchase Of the
steamer Abbey, formerly the Pasig, but
denied that she had landed rifles and
ammunition at Batangas, though he ad-
mltted that she carried two Maxims and
a ship load of stores.

Carries His Point In Matter of Revision of
Dreyfus Case.
PARIS, Sept. 2S.-The discussion at
yesterdays cabinet meeting was prac-
tically confined to the premier and the
minister of justice, NM. Brisson and
Sarrien. Replying to the latter's OBJ
jections to a revision Of the Dreyfus
case, based on the negative character of
the commissions report and the vote of
the chamber of deputies affirming re-
spect for chose jugee "a case already
passed upon by the courts), M. Brisson
pointed out that the late Lieutenant
Colonel Henry's confession of forgery
changed the whole aspect of the case.
He concluded: eff your scruples arise
from personal considerations, if YOU do
not deem yourself sufficiently armed to
undertake without hesitation all your
responsibility, you need not leave us.
You can remain without having to sign
the letter referring the case to the court
OF cessation. Take the portfolio of the
interior. l will take that of Justice,
and thus all the responsibility will de-
volve upon me-" M. Sarrien yielded to
this appeal.

petition asking the reprimand by the
war department of Captain d. L. How
ell OF the Seventh infantry, for the as
sauit on A. w. Larson, prominent
clothler, IN the Savery house few
days ago. On the strength of the fact
that Larson had his wheel in the hotel
by sutferance Of the management of the
house, that the brushingof mud on the
clothes OF the army officer was purely
accidental, and in view of the additional
fact that the otfense did not Justify an
assault which brought $40 and costs in
the police court the next morning, the
petitioners believe they have lust
grounds for bringing the matter to the
war departments attention.

OF the town. George Carter, barber
was found dead in a ditch in North
Newton Saturday. The eorcner's jury,
after two days session, has adjourned

the dead mans skull reveals the fact
that he was sand -bagged, although the
jury does not know where to lay the
the crime as yet. At Carter's funeral
John Lemme, one of the pail bearers,
was arrested and taken to Jail, be being
the last person seen with the deceased.

SARATOGA, N. Y, Sept 2S. The
Republican state convention nominated
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt for governo,
| OF New York on the first ballot
His only opponent was Governor Black
The vote stood: Roosevelt, 1853; Black.
21S. The nomination was made unani.
nous and Senator Krum, who was an
ardent supporter of the governor, took
the floor and said:
"On behalf of Governor Black and his
friends l say that they will stand by
Theodore Roosevelt as he stood by his
country"
When the convention decided to pro.
ceed with nominations j. Ryder Cady
OF Hudson, who nominated Governor
Black two years ago, took the platform
to perform again the same service. Mr..
Cady was frequently interrupted with
applause. Judge Cady finished amid
tremendous applause. His closing re.
mark about Governor Blacks faithful
ness to the ticket called for tremendous
applause.
Chauncy M. Depew took the platform
to nominate Colonel Roosevelt. For
some minutes Mr.. Depew could not pro-
ceed for the noise. References to Presi-
dent Mckinley were received with
tremendous applause and there was a
vigorous reception of the tribute to Gov
ernor Black. When he told of the
charge of the rough riders and mention
ed Colonel Roosevelt the audience Went
almost crazy.
When Mr.. Depew had reached the
point IN his speech where he alluded to
the nonetfect of Mauser bullets, two or
three men rrnhed down the aisle, bear
ing big portrait of Colonel Roocevelt in
rough riders uniform. There was a
three minute interruption and the pic
ture was taken to the stage and set up.
Mr.. Depew finished amid applause that
was almost pandemonium
Secretary Of State Palmer moved a
roll call and the motion was adopted.
Before it got through the New York
delegation it was evident that Mr..
Roosevelt had a practical walkover.
The convention speedily made these
nominations: For lieutenant governor,
Timothy Z. Woodruff, renominated:
secretary OF state, John T. McDonough;
comptroller, William j. Morgan; state
treasurer, John B. jacket; attorney gen
eral, John G. Davies; state engineer,
Edward A. Bond.
All but Davis were nominated by ac-
clamation.
The following committee was ap-
pointed to be an advisory board for the
state committee: Thomas G. Platt, G.
M. Depew, Frank Hiscock, Edward
Lauterbach and Frank S. Witherbee.
The old eagle emblem was readopted
for the party and the convention ad-
journed sine die.
