Memphis Appeal (Dem: Those Geor-
gia Democrats who are seeking to have
General Joe wheeler's seat declared
vacant should take counsel of their
own. interests. There is such a thing
as public sentiment in this country.
and this public sentiment has a way
of summary dlsposIng Of people who
run counter to 1t.
There was once a prominent young
man by the name of Bailey. He was the
Democratic leader In Congress. He is
a young man of great ability and an
orator of rare eloquence. He had faith
to himself and confidence in his own
Judgment, but he lacked adrolrness and
challenged public opinion when he at
tempted to Gust General Wheeler from
Congress. Bailey is much larger
quantity than any two OF General
wheeler's enemies in Georgia, but Bal
ley is no longer leader of the Demo-
Gratis in Congress- Bailey was dan
gerous candidate for the United States
senate he is no longer so. Bailey
talked much, and was listened to with
interest by people of all parties in this
country, and many of his utterances
were sent plungIng under the sea, to
come up and be read in Europe; he
talks little now, and few pay attention
to what he has to say or care a copper
what he thinks.
What has become of Bailey? Don't
know what has become of Bailey? All,
well, neither do we. He challenged
public sentiment when he attempted to
Gust General Wheeler from Congress-
and as they graphically expressed 1t In
Bailey's own district; "He bucked agln
the wrong game"

nnnth ofRobert IngetsoIl.

The sudden death from apoplexy of
Colonel Robert C. Insersoll, at noon
yesterday, at his summer home at
Dobbs Ferry, New York, removes one
OF the most remarkable personalities
in the country. and the event will be
fruitful Of much discussion as to the
various phases OF his character. Dis
tinguisbed in law, strangely eloquent
as a platform orator, Intellectually
giant, he was chiefly known for his
agnostielsm, and was target for
criticisms from hundreds Of thousands
Of pulpits, religious writers and lectur-
ers, for the boldness Of his views and
his startling utterances from the ros-
trum, and in his books.
Just how much 1ngersoll did to shake
the faith of Christian people, how
wide his influence was in this direction,
cannot be known. He could not be
strictly regarded as a leader in the
cause he advocated. for of the thou
sands who locked to hear him dispute
the Divine tenets of centuries, and to
ridlcule the very basis of modern civili-
zation, many failed to be affected, and
refused to be shaken; others were
drawn by curiosity, as they always are
when a great orator is to appear.
There are millions more people in
America to-day, well grounded In the
Christian Faith. and confident in 1t as
the greatest offactors in the religious,
moral and general progress OF the
world, than there were before Robert
Ingersoll was born. The advancement
throughout the world on these lines has
been uninterrupted, and will continue
10 be. Like others who have given
their talents TO tearing down sacred
structures, he built up nothing In their
stead.
Aside from this feature Of Mr.. Inger-
soils career. it may be said of him that
he attained high position in the pro-
fession Of law, and had won many
warm personal friends.

A genuine hot midsummer blast was
the guest of this locality yesterday, but
Wheeling people, those who are forced
to stay at home and are unable to share
the pleasures of the mountain and sea-
side resorts, are used to about every
sort of temperature, sometimes all var.
ietles in a single week. and are so thor
oughly acclImated that they are pre-
pared for anything. The admInistra-
ton at Washington. Just at present. has
so many responsibilities to meet, and is
kept so busy that the patriots in the
cities should not complain II a little
matter like the weather should be
somewhat neglected.
The weather bureau is under the con-
troll of the Agricultural Department
and the farmers must be considered
first above the city residents. 1t must
make up for the neglect in not giving
them an early spring. Even the ven
doris of garden sass" were complain
ing of the bureau then. and II there
had been enough Of them they might
have arisen in revolt and gone back to
the old ways OF manufacturing wVlther.

related a story illustrative Of this point.

bles in the famous Central market on

OF Aiger's R es lgnatiOl


AFeature OF Alger's r es tGnation.
Secretary Of War Ayers resignation
has brought out comments from the
press as various as are the factions
and the sentiments that prevail in the
country. OF course the secretary's enc
niles are more bitter than ever in their
assaults and regard the retirement as
a vindication Of all their charges. This
may be natural, but we have another
element: Opponents Of the administra-
tion renew their attacks and are using
the incident as a club against President
Mckinley. We have a case of that sort
right here in Wheeling, when the Reg
lister, without regard to the facts in the
case, remarks:
Mr.. Mckinley Is truly between his Sa-
tanic majesty and the deep blue sea.
with Alger out and no one to blame
thinRB on he must either correct his mis-
takes and abandon his un-American
policy Of conquest, or, TO quote a wicked
Democratic editor, continue letting
things drift, which In the highest de-
gree OF craftsmanship he has attained"
This Is a case in which one Of the
newspapers that have been the most
malicious In their assaults on Alger are
pretending to sympathize with him.
and to hold him up as a martyr in the
fght against the administration. They
do not discuss the matter on Its merits.
Laying aside the objections to secre-
tary Ayers Official record, and assum-
ing, for the sake of argument, that 1t
might have been irreproachable. the
resignation was proper, and might we'll
have been demanded, In view Of hio
omen announcement Of his candidacy
for the United States senate, and his
alliance with one Of the severest critics
Of the administration. Indeed, We are
justified in going further; by asserting
that, on the day OF that announcement.
It should have been accompanied by the
letter Of resignation TO the President.
There is no denial Of the right OF
General Alger to be a senatorial candl-
date, but he had no right to be one I'M
der circumstances which would enable
him to use his prestige as n cabinet
Officer. II might have been lmposbIOle
for him to strive to keep from making
use Of that influence. Quoting the
washington Star. "he could not divide
himself. He could not be secretary
Alger here and elsewhere throughout
the Union outside OF Michigan, and
General AIger. n candidate for the sem
ate, within the state Of Michigan"
This might have involved the whole
administration in a matter which Is In
the hands Of the Republicans Of Michi-
gan. on the line OF the statement that
General AIger might have avoided some
criticism by avoiding delay. the Star,
which u an independent paper says;
secretary Ayers delay In offering his
resignation has provoked some criticism

Kansas Enormous Corn Crop,

Kansas City Journal: The outlook
in Kansas is for phenomenal corn
crop this year. The July prospect was
never better In any year since the or
gnnlZation OF the state, and II the IA
Vorable conditions continue It is prob
able that the record will be broken
with product in the neighborhood OF
500. OOO, 900 bushels. And this reminds
us OF most remarkable coincidence
in the history OF Kansas corn crops.
From the very beginning the years
ending in the figure 20" have been good
corn years, while the years following,
or those ending In 10" have been the
poorest. Probably the greatest corn
yield per acre the state has ever had
was in 1859. and this was followed by
nearly total failure In 1850. In 1863
there was another good corn crop. with
n great falling of in 1870. In 1879 and
1850 this coincidence was repeated. and
In 1859 the state raised the greatest
corn crop on record. The total yield Of
that year was 237,SSS,32l bushels, as
against only 5l,64SOOO bushels In 1890.
To find this coincidence recurring
throughout five successive decades Is.
to say the least, little singular.
