a. In the same issue, under the heading,
Here and There we find the follow
ing:
The present condition of the farmers is
rather discouraging. and the prospects Cor
the future are not a jot better. In the
nrst place, the number and magnitude of
debts and the scarcity of money are the
chief calamities. On the other hand the
tWlne business this summer has been the
source OF much worry and i'll feeling. 1t is
safely estimated that the farmers of the
state were actually ffeeced Of IS to $3.50 on
every hundred pounds Of Irvine. This fact
Is little too big and too outra yeous to he
overlooked 1t was presumably figured by
the posses that the war would so engross
the attention OF the farmers that they would
not notice the great Irvine swindle In this
scandalous Irvine affair the farmers have
been given such a large and hard lump to
swallow that 1t simply can not be guided
down The makers and jobbers are glee-
FULLY stroking their silky boards and rub
plng their Velvety hands at the success OF
their scheme, whereupon the farmers are
manlfesting signs of dissatisfaction and Of
having been grossly maltreated. Meanwhile
the sNind!fng goes on. The farmers will UNI
doubtedly bear their losses in mind when the
Tune comes to vote. They can retaliatc, ana
they alone have it in their power to effect
more honest system of business IN official
affairs. "Vox populi supreme est lex" should
be on their banner.
We are especially glad to see these ex-
pressions, since they seem to be spon-
taneous and heartfelt They are not the
utterances of lying politicians. We wish
more such letters were written to every
local paper in the state They would
revolutionize public opinion.
Be alive. brethren, and do your duty
in your day and generation.
Thanks to Brother Boen for giving
these able men a hearing I'D.

resolution was adopted unanimously amid
cheering.
The casting down and abandonment of
Charles Stewart Parnell was an ever
lasting shame. He was a MARTYR to
irish liberty, driven to an early grave
by persecution.
he was one OF 1reland's greatest states
men, and II he had been sustained and
followed by all the people, he would
have Wrested home rule from England
long ago. Now there is nothing but a
petty scramble for plumber by the small
men, and the oppressors of Ireland smile
at the powerlessness OF a divided and
distracted country.

falling off in their business, despite the
war. He says:
The total resources decreased from $l9 O69-
IA to SIS ,83S; loans and discounts de-
creased from S11, AS 636 to $40, SOP 1893 and re-
serve increased from s. ,7OS.575 to S4477 YsS
of which gold holdings increased from
$597,652 to SS7,O47 The deposits decreased
from $9,o3O010 to $S.S42. 1873

This is an extraordinary showing.
The falling off in deposits shows that
the amount of money in the hands of
the people has decreased, while the les
SEEMING Of the loans and discounts proves
decrease in business enterprise or
dimfnution of confidence on the part of
the banks.
There is no getting away from these
figures. They constitute a bad showing.

JOHN SHERMAN TALKS.
Cuba Should Be Governed by
Cubans.

Washington, July 25.--Former Sec
retary of State John Sherman in ali
interview with New York World
correspondent said
81 regret to hear of the reported
differences between Gen. Shafter and
Gen. Garcia in Cuba. If the Cubans
deserved enough respect to be recog-
nized by the United States, it seems
to me they should be respected on the
field of battle. They have battled for
liberty and freedom from Spanish
tyranny for half century or more
and now that the object which they
have so long fought for is in sight
they should share in the fruits of VIC
tory. Gen. Garcia should have been
invited to the surrender of Santiago,
and ii he was not, blunder was
made.
"Congress passed resolution to ex-
pei Spain from Cuba. In that resolu-
ton it was clearly stipulated that we
would leave the island to the control
of the people thereof after firm and
stable government had been estab-
lished. Therefore we cannot with
any show of consistency lay claim to
the island after it has been taken
from Spain.
at is yet to be determined whether
or not the Cubans are capable of self-
government. If they are, well and
good. We should turn the island
over to them, but il the Cubans be-
come dissatisfied with their form of
government after we set it up and re-
bel against it we would doubtless feel
called upon TO step in and take the
island. This, to my mind, is the only
contingency which could arise where
in the United States would be justi-
fed in taking Cuba"

Jeweler Weber and Mayor Blitz, of
Covington, had some words over the
narrowing of Sixth street from forty
to thirty-six feet. The Mavor called
the jeweler, and the jeweler retorted
with the more emphatic language, to
which the Mayor responded with a
blow, staggering his man.
Moral: Common people, jewellers
aud such dare not have voice in city
affairs. 1t is none of their business

"Whosoever giveth cup of cold

We have seen beautiful picture of
a Puritan maiden CARRYING large
basket laden with good things from
door to door among the poor in a
New England village, receiving only
smiles and blessings in return. This
picture, called "Sweet Charity" was
not more touching than one in reality

recently. In wooded dell oh the

agreement abandoned the contract for

Warning and Example.

Several object lessons have been
presented for the consideration of ma
tions in the present war. One is that
America can strike swiftly and strike
hard. Another is that the spirit of
generosity toward conquered foe
is as much a tradition here as
the love of freedom. The one lesson
is a warning; the other is an example
which will certainly bear fruit in fu-
ture wars.--New York Herald.

Fires.

Early Thursday evening while Mr..
John Langston was on High street,
he discovered blaze in the barn of j.
G. Trimble. The hay in the loft was
burning. Mr.. Langston assisted by
some neighbors who carried water
succeeded in e3t.rguishing the fire.
This successful effort was surprise
as fully two minutes elapsed after
the flame was seen before it could be
gotten at. There is no clew to the
origin of the fire.
There were couple of email blszes
down in the negro settlements Friday
afternoon. Very little damage was
done. The fire company responded
on both occasions.
At about 8 O'Clock on Saturday ev-
ening the vigorous ringing of fire bell
aroused the town. An outbuilding
on the old Farmers Bank property
had been set on fire. Hay and excel
sior were used in starting the blaze.
sAtfsx spisious looking character was
seen around the property and Mr.. r,
A. Mitchell had been notified of his
presence. When the alarm was given
man was seen running from the
premises. The fire was put out be-
fore the engine reached the place.

Ne Need of a Second Shot.

An English naval expert in making
criticism on American naval gun
merry suggests that as rule under the
system in vogue the gunners would
find it difficult to hit anything twice
in the same place, and also argues
that this is fault that should be
overcome. The learned gentleman
should bear in mind that when an
American gunner hits anything the
first time there is nothing to shoot at
the second time. Denver Times.

law also provides that the destruction or dla-

being not less than $25 nor more than Sloo

way to prohibit the destruction OF terrapin eggs
is for the State to offer a good price for them
