A Talk On Diversity

mere Is no reason to expect that the
present relative prices OF wheat and other
farm products will be permanent. In
the natural course of events wheat will
have its turn in bringing a high price
ana other farm products will have their
turn IN selling at a low price. The
present conjunction of low prices for
wheat and high prices for livestock dairy
products, eggs, ETC., is having a very
beneficial effect upon the farming in.
dustry OF the Pacific coast. If it con-
tinues year or two longer it will result
IN an Improvement in farm methods
which will be permanently worth mil
mons OF dollars to the people. 1t is so
easy to take up the business OF gro wing
wheat that there is no occasion to
worry about the expansion or non-ex-
panslOn OF that industry. The amount
OF wheat produced will increase as rail-
roads extend their lines, even if the price
remains low. The difficult thing is to
get farmers who have always confined
their business to growing wheat to Join

Ptatf'G Statement

Senator Thomas c. Platt gave out
the following statement at 80 a. m:
AT this hour il is apparent that the
plurality for Mckinley and Roosevelt
above the Bronx river ia not less than
10000, and may easily exceed that
figure by 10000 Greater New York is
against us in the neighborhood of 30
900, and therefore we are confident Of
the state by nearly 10000 for the new
ticket. 1t may slightly exceed that
amount. Mr. Odell has apparently not
received in Greater New York as many
democratic votes az the national candi-
dates, but in the other counties there
IS little variance between his vote and
Mckinley's. His plurality will not be
more than $4,000 less than the presi-
dents. Both branches of the legislature
are republican by increased majorities.
There have been elected four additional
congressman.
Wisconsin Germans Not Scared.

Wisconsin, up to 10 O'Clock, though com

Killed in a Runaway.

Stewart Hill, who was employed by
Geo. Grimes hauling wheat, is the latest
victim added to the list of runaway ac-
cidents, which have been numerous this
season, says the ROsalia Citizen. Mr..
Hill brought load of wheat to town
Monday morning, driving a four horse
team. When returning home the team
got frightened, near NJ, II. Vests place,
and ran away, causing considerable
damage. Mr.. Hill, who was slightly
intoxicated, was either thrown or fell
from the wagon sustaining mortal in
Juries. A stranger coming to town
caught the wheel team and spread the
news. The wounded man was brought
back to town. A medical examination
by DR.. Brand revealed three broken ribs,
an injured spine, the right arm crushed,
the head severely bruised and injuries of
a severe character. The skill of the
physician managed to perserve life in the
mutilated body for about two days.

Seeds Grown at Home,

The business of growing seeds is max
ing steady progress in Washington and
Oregon. The climatic conditions found
IN these states are favorable for the pro-
duction OF many kinds of seeds some OF
which can not be grown successfully in
other portions OF the United States. The
only tirst-class caulifiower seed grown in
the United States are raised in the Puget
Sound country. The only grower of
rape seed on a commercial scale is
John B. Stump of Oregon. Oregon
onion seed has long enjoyed a high
reputation. A steadily increasing pro
portion Of the seeds handled by the seed
men OF two states are of home growth.

NEW YORK CROKERIZED.
But Republicans Carried 1t $4,000
Greater Than Claimed.

New York, Nov. Cat IL O'Clock the
indications are that President Mckinley
has carried New York state by ma jOr-
ity over Bryan OF 100000, compared
with a republican majority in the last
presidential election of 26S 400. The
total vote in the city of New York is
approximately 10000 larger than in
1896, and up the state the increase is
about 10000 In the city of New York
Bryan wiped the plurality OF 10000
which Mckinley had four years ago and
took on plurality for himself OF about
$4,000 Up the state Mckinley barely
held the vote which he had in 1896, the
added vote going to Bryan. The vote
for Odell, republican nominee for gov
ernor, is considerably larger than: that
for Mckinley.
Found 1t Out Early.
New York, Nov. 6-Midnight.-It be-
came evident at an early honr this even
ing that the election OF Mckinley and
Roosevelt was assured. At $3.50 o'clock
returns from nearly twO-thirds of the
election districts of Greater New York
had been received, indicating beyond
question that Bryan and Stevenson could
not expect more than 1000 or 10000
plurality in this democratic stronghold,
and unless there was a landslide in the
outside counties beyond all reasonable
expectation the pivotal state OF New
York had declared in unmistakable
terms, although by greatly reduced
majority, for the republican candidates.
AS the night progressed it only served to
confirm this Judgment, but the returns
from Illinois revealed a like condition.
The republican plurality OF 1896 was
greatly reduced, but it was still far too
large to be overcome.
On the other hand the returns from
indiana, Michigan, the two Dakotas,
Utah and Wyoming, as well as Nebraska,
seem to indicate steady republican gains
over 1896. Delaware, Maryland and
West Virginia had given republican
pluralities. The count in several OF the
far western states was naturally SO de-
layed as to give little indication OF the
opinion there, but they had ceased to
have a determining effect, and before 10
O'Clock the democratic leaders had given
up the contest, and it was announced
that MIR. Bryan had gone to bed and
was sound asleep.
The whole story was easily and briefly
told. The republican ticket would have
a larger electoral vote than four years
ago. but in the larger states OF the east
and middle west the pluralities OF 1896
had been reduced. Massachusetts fell
from 174,0OO to $4,000; New York,
26S, 900 to 100000, and Illinois from
$4,000 to 100000 or less.

About Carrying 1t.

Baltimore, Nov. 6.-McKinlev has
carried Maryland beyond the shadow of
a doubt, the only question to be settled
being the size of his majority. With
practically complete returns from the
city, he has a majority here of about
$500, while from the state scattering re-
turns Indicate an additional surplus of
$500, making his total majority in the
state about 10000. There is no reason
to believe the final figures will vary
greatly from those given above. Chair
man Vandiver, of the democratic state
committee, admits Bryan's defeat in the
state, while Chairman Goldsborough, of
the republican committee, says that Me
Kinley's majority will reach $4,000 at
least. 1t is also certain that the repub-
Leans have elected four OF the six con
gressmen, while the remaining two will
probably be democratic, although later
returns may change this outlook.
