iailJ thC idltci-eACepl agriculture
The present revival of prosperity is
largely artificial and not general in the
rise of the level of prices. Its financial
foundation also is mainly bank credit, the
most precarious base on which business
can be placed. All the business revivals
and spasmodic good times and sudden
business collapses and panics that checker
the history of this country have been
caused by bank credits which lacked
stable basis of government money. The
present revival is of the same class and as
certain as gravity must follow all its
predecessors.
The farmer has been the pack horse
that has borne the burdens in adversitv.
and shared but a comparatively small
part of the good times while they lasted.
In recent years his crops and his market
have been cornered by spectators and
his share in the prosperity is less than
formerly. The richest product of the soil
has been made stake for gamblers and
the government refuses to prevent this
abuse. The agriculture of this country
cannot receive special favor or protection
like other interests, from government
but it can be given fair field by the
abolition of special laws which hedge
about other industries. On account of
the chronic discrimination by his govern
ment against him, the farmer as class is
steadily losing ground. He is becoming
less and less factor in the government.
He is not consulted, nor feared by other
classes. They look upon him as harmless,
without influence in public affairs, a mere

Rennes, Sept. S.-That Captain Drey-
fus will be condemned is the almost
universal opinion heard in Rennes to-
night. Hitherto there had always been
divergence, but now both camps, the
Dreyfusards and the anti-Dreyfusards,
seem unanimous in the conviction that
the verdict will go against him.
Upon just what this is based and the
precise reason for the conclusion, are
mystery, but there is no Disgusting
the fact that from NJ Labori down to
the numerous Dreyfusards who crowd
the hotels and cafes, and who last
night were still hopeful that Dreyfus
would be saved, all seem now to agree
that his last chance is gone. The one
source of hope is in Labori himself,
who said this evening to the CORE
spondent of the Associated Press:
We fear Captain Dreyfus will be
condemned, but we do not intend to
throw up the sponge. We shall go on
fighting for him.
Excitement at Fever Heat.
M. Jaures, the socialist leader, and
other prominent Dreyfusards expressed
a similar opinion. Excitement is at a
fever heat, and nothing is discussed but
the verdict of tomorrow. The military
precautions are of the most elaborate
character. and no attempt at disorder
is likely to have the slightest success.
Orders have been issued to repreSs the
first symptom of trouble with an iron
hand.

to Chicago to have the work done. In
the meantime various designs have
been considered, but the ladies all
agreed that the one secured by Mrs
Cohen and presented to the committee
yesterday was by far the most artistic
suggestion that has been received.

made of pure silver and surmounted by
red gold flare. On the back of this
will be inscribed: Presented to Mrs

The burning torch will indicate the con-
tinued life that exists in the cause of
silver in Utah
The sego lilies-one on either side
will have their delicate slender leaves
developed in green gold, while the pet
ais of the flowers will be of platina, the
stamens of pale gold, and the purple
center between the stamenS will be of
enamel of the correct shade. On the rib

torch will be inscribed the word

The pin was ordered from Chicago
firm by the IeySon company last night
and it is to cost $50.
A note will be sent to Mrs Bryan
telling her of the intention of the club
TO present her with the pin, which will
be sent on to her as soon as it reaches

THROWS BLAME ON ENGLAND.
Transvaal Rad Wishes to Shift the
Responsibility For War.

Pretoria, Sept Sin the first Rad
this morning debate was resumed on
the Interpolation OF the government re-
speeding the concentration of British
troops on the border and the stoppage
of ammunition consigned to the Trans
vaal. The house adjourned shortly be-
fore noon. after adopting unanimously
the following resolution:
''The volksraad, having considered
that friendly correspondence is still
passing between the governments, that
the concentration of troops in great
numbers near the border has detri-
mental and restless effect on the in
habitantS of the state, and that the
Transvaal has lived in friendship and
peace with all nations, and desires to
continue to live in such friendship and
peace, now declares it's regret at the
fact of concentration, and expresses
the opinion that, in the case of eventu-
alities which might lead to enmity or
war between the two governments, the
cause would not lie with the republic.
LAS regards the stoppage of ammu-
milton at Delagoa bay, the volksraad
trusts that the government will act ac-
cording to circumstances.
"The raad further resolves to drop the
matter of the concentration of troops
on the border for the present, until the
government shall supply further infor-

FEELING AT CAPE TOWN.
Dismay at the Bitterness Displayed
By Members of the Rad.

Cape Town. Sept. S.-The reports of
the raad debate at Pretoria published
here create intense feeling, and the dis
paraging references to Mr.. Joseph
Chamberlain, imperial secretary of
state for the colonies, and Sir Alfred
Miner, governor of Cape Colony and
British high commissioner in Africa,
are resented.
The feeling displayed by members of
the raad surprised those who believed
that peaceful settlement would be
reached, and such a solution, in the
opinion of many has been rendered
very difficult
In spite of downfall of rain, 1,500
workmen assembled last night and
passed a. resolution imploring a prompt
termination by the imperial government
of the present tension, which is caus-
ing great distress, bringing the COM
.munity face to face with bankruptcy,
alternating the moderate element here
and in the TTansvaal, and sapping
British prestige."Y
The resolution also affirms unabated
confidence l.. Sir Alfred Miner.
The meeting, which was orderly
closed with cheers for Chamberlain,
Miner and Rhodes, and with groans
for Kruger and SchreiEer.

pended in honor of the visit of William
Jennings Bryan. All the mines were
closed down for the day and Virginia
City sent 1000 underground workers to
the mass meeting held here today in
Capitol square.
Mr.. Bryan was brought over from
Lake Tahoe in a coach drawn by six
horses and escorted by the leading
Democrats and silveriteS of Nevada.
He arrived late in the afternoon and
went at once to address the open air
mass meeting, at which 1900 persons
were present He was received with
tremendous enthusiasm, the conclusion
of every sentence being emphasized by
tumultuous applause.
Mr.. Bryan. spoke for over an hour,
devoting himself principally to the
question of expansion.
There is no need Of my talking to
you upon the money question" he
said. Everyone knows that Nevada
is all right for silver"
He repeated the arguments against
expansion made in his San Francisco
speech, declaring against what he pro-
nounced "a triplicate of evils-expan-
sion, Imperialism and militaryism."
Mr.. Bryan departed for the east on
this evenings train, being accompanied
to the depot by practically the entire
population of Carson, who cheered him
until the receding train carried him
out of sight.

OFFENSIVE TO GERMANS.
American and British Representa-
tives In Samoa Roundly Scored.

Chicago, Sept. S.-John G. Leigh, who
has been in Samoa for three months.
investigating the political situation as
correspondent for the London Times,
arrived in Chicago today. In an inter
view he said:
My investigations inspired me with
shame for the part played by the rep
resentatives of my country and Amer
lea in the events which led up to the
hostilities of last winter. 1t seems to
me that Justice Chambers and Consul
Maxse tried to see just how offensive
they could make themselves to Consul
Rose. They Systematically ignored him
and pursued a line of conduct that it is
difficult to find any justification for.
And Admiral Kautz, on the arrival
of the Philadelphia, followed along in
the same lines, seemingly making no
attempt to ascertain the real condition
of affairs. The letters which he and
the English naval officers sent to the
Germans were enough to provoke the
latter to retaliatory action. In my
opinion, the Germans showed a patient
and enduring spirit.

three from Mediterranean stations. The
sailing of the Castle liner Harlech Cas-
tie has been Cancelled and the steamer
will probably be employed to transport
British troops.
A semi-official statement comes from
Pretoria through Cape Town to the eff
feet that the Transvaal government
has explained to the British diplomatic
agent, Mr.. Conyngham Green, that its
last dispatch was meant as an ac-
ceptance Of the proposed joint inquiry
into the franchise question.
Transvaal Was Confused.
1t appears that the negotiations had
become SO involved that the Transvaal
government itself had become confused
or, perhaps, for it's own purposes,
wished to appear SO.
The Cape Town correspondent of the
Daily Chronicle says: 1T was the
Transvaal's attitude regarding the SUI
Zerainty question that caused the At
rikander leaders in Cape Colony and
the Orange Free State to cool off
promptly. The Transvaal has now re-
sumed practical tone and the Afri-
kanders are eXerting a supreme effort
to expedite a settlement"
The Daily Chronicle AYERS that Lord
Salisbury's moderating influence was
felt throughout the council. This is ex-
ceedingly probable, but in any case the
cabinet was unanimously in favor of
Mr.. Chamberlain sending a strong dis
patch demanding categorical answer
to the proposals Sir Alfred Miner sub
mitted to the Bloemfontein conference.
The Times thinks something more
than this might have been demanded"
but the cabinets decision meets with
universal approval, and, pending de-
velopments, nothing further will be
DONE

Germany Is Indignant.
The news of the publication of Count
Won Buelow's speech in the Reichsan-
zeiger reached Rennes today and is con-
sidered very important on the eve of a
verdict, which in some quarters 1t is
thought will be regarded as slight by
Germany if it be condemnation, as
being tantamount to d public refusal
to take the word of Emperor William,
as his minister is merely his mouth
piece.
According to the latest report. the
verdict may be delivered between and
o'clock tomorrow afternoon, the court
adjourriing after NJ. Demange's speech
until 8 o'clock.
There is some criticism of M. Labori's
decision not to speak, the friends of
NJ. Demange thinking it his object to
escape his share of the responsibility
in the event of verdict Of condemna-
ton. NJ De7nange, having once seen
Dreyfus condemned under his advocacy,
would naturally like M. Labori to share
the criticism this time, especially as
M. Labori has assumed such a promi-
nent part in the proceedings.

upon which Mr.. Bryan will arrive. 1t
