WHEAT BOOM SHRINKS.

September wheat has dropped
again and is still dropping, and
now stands at 67 cents. a shrinkage
of rs cents in month, and only
5 cents above tho figure of one
year ago.
July wheat is down to 81 cents,
as compared with 81. So on May Il,
and 20 cents year ago. These
are Minneapolis prices and about
Is cents above the average realized
by North Dakota farmers at their
nearest local markets.
What, therefore, is the situa-
ton? It is this: Farmers will got
no more, and perhaps less, for their
wheat in September 1898 than
they did in September 1897; and
the great republican wheat
BOOM" while taxing consumers for
the benefit of dealers and millers,
will bs of no benefit whatever to
the masses of tho wheat-growers
of the northwest. Those farmers
who paid $l.0O to $l.25 for their
seed last spring will have the pri-
vilege of selling their crop at 50 to
60 cents, at net loss of 1925 for
each l60-acre farm; and the thou
sands Of homes of the land have
been compelled to pay so per cent
higher for their bread. And that
is the sum total of the blessings
Of the late wheat boom, attributed
to republican administration and
supported by foreign famines and
the Letter gambling deal.
Farmers who pinned their faith
to such claims should please note
that the SLIGO wheat of May 18th
was for the wheat corner, and that
the wheat sold by the farmer in
September will be 60-cent wheat.
The difference of $l.00 per bushel
is the difference between wheat
out of farmers hands, and wheat
in farmers hands. Producers need
something more reliable on which
to base prosperity than the wheat
booms of republican. administra-
ton.

Green Badges of Courage.

A great many people do not know
why army surgeons wear green sashes.
1t is not 50 much an insignia of rank as
it is protection to the wearer. Ae i
cording to a code Of war, surgeons are
never shot or taken prisoners. To de-
liberately shoot surgeon while he is
wearing his sash is considered viola
tion of the code, punishable by death.
Because of this provision surgeons of
one army never refuse to look after the
wounded of the other army If it is pos
sible for them to do 50. During the
civil war 1t was often the case that af-
ter battle the field hospitals would
contain almost an equal number OF
men dressed in blue and gray. The
Federal army had the best surgeons
and the best stores, aud a wounded con-
federate considered himself in great
luck if he was removed to a Federal
hospital to be cared for by Federal sur
geons and physicians.
But in the heat OF a battle a green
sash is not much protection, and sur
geons were often wounded or killed.
But this did not keep the surgeons at
the rear until the battle was over.
They were often found in the thick of
the fray, dressing wounds and sending
the wounded to the rear. Theirs was a
perilous as well as a noble duty, and
they performed it well.-Omaha World

Republican State Convention.

From the JOhnstown Tribune.
The Republican State Convention
will be aeld at Harrisburg in four weeks
to nominate candidates for Governor,
Lieutenant Governor, Secretary Of In
ternal Affairs, Judge of the Superior
Court, and two Congressmen-at-Large
Congressman w. A. Stone, of Ale
gheny, has very nearly, II not a major
ity Of the Delegates that will be In the
Convention, with the others divided
up among several aspirants, some of
whom are very likely to turn to him
when their favorite is out Of the race,
and therefore make his nomination, If
that IS considered by the leaders the
best thing TO do. Some persons doubt
the propriety Of his nomination be-
cause he is a special friend Of Senator
Quay. But why that should injure
any mans chances if he is competent
and worthy is hard 10 divine, and on
the whole we think it would not, but,
on the contrary, be beneficial. There
may be so-csllled Republicans who
have such an antipathy to Senator
Quay as will lead them to oppose any
friend Of his that may be nominated,
but on the other hand there may be
some ardent Quayites who will work
the harder because the candidate is the
Senator's friend. Such a question
should not enter into the campaign,
but il will. There IS one thing pretty
ce-tain-that If Stone is not nominated,
Wanamaker, who is making his fight
principally against Stone, will not be,
as stones friends, If they do not ac-
eept him, will not likely go over to his
enemy.
Grow and Davenport will probably
be renomInated for Congressmen-at-
Large without any formidable opposi-
ton.
For the other three positions there
are many candidates, Philadelphia
City alone having one for each-State-
Senator Grady for Lieutenant Govern
or, James w. Latta for denomination
as Secretary Of Internal Affairs, and
Judge Porter as Judge of the Superior
Court Only one will probably be taken
from that city, and, as the gang want
Judge P0r,er for sinecure, unnecessary
out powerful position. he will probably
get tie plum. Candidates for the other
two positions will be selected from dis
tricts where they will do the most
good.
There is but little doubt that the
whole ticket viii be elected by an
enormous majority. II there could be
doubt under other circumstances, the
fact Of the war being conducted under
a Republican Administration will keep
the party intact and probably add TO it.
The Somerset herald. [volume] (Somerset, Pa.) 1870-1936, 1898-05-11

cort probably detailed to watch over an
enemy's merchant craft. Swift, Of con-
siderable gun-power, and Of great ease
Of movement, she is indeed to be dread
cd by everything but craft Of ample
speed, fine protection, and good powers
Of retaliation.
The simple cruiser falls in behind
the protected cruiser in the same line
Of service; but she must be wary lest
her quarry be a merchantman Of gun
power or be conveyed by a sturdy craft
Oi speed and superior battery.
The gunboat naturally must confine
its operations TO domestic service, the
guardianship Of merchantmen in our
own waters, dispatch service or picket
duty for the heavy ships that must
meet the foe in force and to concln-
sion.
1t seems quite needless to remark
that so far as possible, each command
ing officer Is expected to size up his ap-
preaching foe, and, depending upon
the known chances of a conflict, either
to engage, or exercise that better part
Of valor, discretion, and scoot. Type
for type, our ships will hold their own
with those Of Spain and nothing more
can be expected, lest the concerted
aelion of two weaker craft wiring vic
tory by handiness Of management from
a less ably handled single foe Of greater
power.
