Bryan and Pensions.
From the Boston Herald.

Mr.. Bryan, it is reported, has announced
that. If elected he will appoint a commits
sioner of pensions more satisfactory to
the pensioners than the republican incum-
bent The dissatisfaction with the repub-
lican incumbent is not felt so much by de-
serving and honest pensioners as by the
pension attorneys, who do not find him pli-
able when they wish to strain the interpre-
tation of the laws to embrace cases that
they were not intended to embrace Mr.
Bryans promise must be regarded as a
piece OF demogogism. and nothing worther.

HnXNnii's Election.

There are grave lessons to be learned
from the political situation in Hawaii, as
described in letter from The Stars Homo
lulu correspondent, ''kamehameha," print
ed today. He anticipates the election Of
Wilcox one of the most degraded of po-
litical adventures. as delegate to Congress,
by the votes of the organized natives, in
famed by appeals to their race prejudice.
He forecasts too, the organization OF the
territorial Legislature by native delegates
pledged to a program of obstruction and re-
action which will, if executed, give Hawaii
many months of bitter anxiety and perhaps
cause a complete check in all her material
advances. This state of case arises from
the unWise extension of the suffrage to
all the inhabitants, without restriction or
qualification. The Hawaiians are doubtless
the most enlightened of all the Polynesians,
and today are the most fitted of all those
Islanders for self government Yet as
their platform and the speeches of their
leaders indicate. they are not yet qualified
for the unrestricted use of the ballot. The
Intelligence and property interests of the
islands are opposed to their reactionary
propaganda. and had the Cullom bill been
passed, with its careful suffrage quaifica-
tons, there would today be no danger of
the commissioning as a delegate to Con-
greSs of a man of the ugly recor,, of VIII
COX, who stands for all that is vicious in
the old Hawaiian native regime and is
feared by the conservative natives as an
enemy to progress and enlightenment
Should the results dreaded by ''Kamehame-
ha' occur Congress will at least have
learned lesson which ought to be of great
value in pointing the way in the other
island possessions of the United States
when the time comes to extend the suffrage
to the natives

The Kentucky Perjurer.
From the Richmond Times.

rom the RlChnOnQ Times.
The Louisville Courier-Journal says that
the testimony of Finley Anderson, the con-
fessed perjurer, was not material, and that
he only corroborated the testimony of ff-
teen other witnesses, who swore that Pow
ers had said that it was necessary for
Goebel to be killed. But that is not the
point. Anderson makes affidavit that his
testimony was false and that he was paid
by T. c. Campbell, who prosecuted the
case. and another Goebel. brother of the
deceased. to testify against Powers al
though he had first assured them that he
did not know anything against the accused
That being the case, the logical conclu-
sion Is that the evidence Of the prosecu-
ton was false from beginning to end, and
was manufactured for the occasion. 1t
would be monstrous to convict man upon
such testimony.

ness If there is any disposition whatever
on the part of the arrangements to accom-
modate the public there is no feature of

watched at*this season of the year than
this matter of open or closed cars. While
there is an unquestionable demand for open
cars at all seasons on the part Of certain
riders, yet the majority of the patrons of
the roads doubtless prefer the closed cars
when the air Is too sharp for comfort and
when the rain vets the seats of the open
cars and saturates the clothes of the pas
sengers who are forced to ride in them.

Marching in the Rain.

Evidently the zeal of the sound money
men of New York is not Of such slight
character as to be overcome by a little
moisture from the skies. The spectacle of
over a hundred thousand men marching in
line today in the metropolis. with the rain
falling steadily, is inspiring, for 1t shows
that the business interests of New York
are thoroughly aroused to the importance
of fighting the free silver menace to the
last moment Of the campaign. Doubtless
the rain had some effect upon the num-
bers IN line, and with this great, force
actually on the march under such deter
rent conditions, it is easy to imagine what
would have been the turnout had the ele-
ments been propitious.

American and English Advertising.
From the Philadeiphia Record

The advertising feature of the American
newspaper is interesting" says an observ-
ing English visitor. Unlike the English
advertisements, which are the same the
year round, many of the business an
nouncements here are changed every day
and have positive news character One
result is that the American public are far
better informed about what Is to be found
In shops and other places than are English
buyers, many of whom do not know of the
best places to buy things. 1t is obvious
that advertising Is necessary to success in
this country"

HOW THE FARMER GETS EVEN.
His Increased Income More Than Offsets His
Increased 0utlo.

Democrats are trying to make the
farmers discontinued because they are
paying little more money this year
for their wire nails and wire for fen
cling. Of course they never point out
to the farmer that his extra profit this
year on two or three bushels of corn
will pay for an increase in the price
of keg of nails, and that his profits
on all OF his farm products in this year
alone will pay for many times the cost
of his barbed wire, besides leaving
him handsome surplus to put in bank
or pay off his mortgage. The
Gazette" always likes to prove it's
statements. A neighbor in Carl town.
ship called at this Office last week and
stated that it would be necessary to
repair division fence that both were
interested in. To do SO this paper
was called upon to purchase a spool of
barbed wire. The merchant asked
just double what was paid under the
Free-Trade policy of Cleveland. But
let the reader glance moment at the
difference in the condition of then
and now.
When the Cleveland policy prevailed
there was sold out of the pasture where
the wire was used, good COWS at $40
per head. Today such stock commands
$50 per head. Late one fall, in the
Cleveland reign, the very thriftiest OF
high grade spring calves were taken
out Of the pasture indicated, and
luckily found a purchaser who con-
sented to take the bunch at 81 per head.
Last fall buyers were anxious to give
$50 for calves that were dropped in
May and June that ran in the same
pasture.
The neighbOr that came for the
wire, in the course Of his converse ton,
said that last year he had disposed OF
four calveS-raised on separator milk
at $40 per head. He thought he had
done well. and he had.
Now, where does all this kick come
in about the price of wire? The men
that mine the iron, the men that
transport it, the men who take the
ore and make it into wire, and those
who barb it, as we'll as the merchant
who sells, thanks to the Tariff are all
busy. Being busy, they have enormous
appetites, which they are satisfying
in part by paying the Adams county
farmer $50 for his cow, $40 for his
calf and S. per hundred for his live
hogs.
A little more Tariff on the
"Gazette" plate, please. Never mind
if wire has doubled in rice.-Corning

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.
Chart Showing Mean Temperature and Total
Precipitation During Week.

Corn: The week was very favorable
for corn. The heavy rains, except in
a few localities, have not washed the
fields to any great extent, and the
present condition of the crop warrants
the prediction of a large yield. Early
paintings are in taSsel and in some
sections the silk is beginning to ap-
pear. Thus far the crop is generally
free from smut.
Winter Wheat and Rye: These
crops are mostly in shock. The excess
sive rains and high winds in some
sections caused some damage.
Oats and Barley: Very little har-
veSting was done during the week, on
account of the wet weather, although
oats and barley are generally ready to
cut in the southern and central
counties.
Hay: The heavy and continuous
rains have flooded marshland and
interfered with haying. The crop on
upland is very light.
Pastures have continued to improve
and are now in excellent condition.
Tobacco: No hail was reported
from the tobacco section during the
week. The crop is making very rapid
growth, and promises large yield
Potatoes continue to make excellent
growth, and there is now sufficient
moisture in the soil to fully mature
the crop.
Cranberries: Recent rains have
filled the reservoirs and the present
condition of the crop is good, although
some damage was done by frost on
June 30.
Fruit: The berry crop has been i'm
proved by the rains. Apples continue
to fall badly and the crop will not be
large.

A Sad Southern Shock.

Sl LOuls beluOCIdt
a convention devoted to Southern
Industries, in session at Atlanta, has
rejected the address prepared by a
special cOmmitte because it sounded
too much like Republican platform.
No doubt the committee performed its
work impartially and with the single
idea of presenting the truth in intelli
gent shape. The resemblance to a
Republican statement was incidental.
1t was also unavoidable. Southern in
dustries as now developing can not be
described without at least indirect
praise of present national policies.
Like other sections of the country the
South is enjoying good times. Its in
dustrieS are broadening out: Its mills
and other manufacturing plants are
multiplying. Its mines are rising in
Importance and it's products are in full
demand at exceptionally good prices.
These observations may sound like a
republican platform, but since they
are true how can that be helped? The
committee honestly held the mirror
up to the facts and these stubborn
things had the audacity to betray a
republican flavor.

Whenever an expression of opinion
in regard to the industrial situation is

mate business are in position to
know the SoundneSS and Solidity of
present prosperous conditions and are
not afraid to testify to the facts. The
alarmistS, who, for the purpose Of
speculation, have tried to diScredit
the cOuntry'S present prosperity, have
had a setback this time. 1t is not
often that business is in such an I'M
questiOnably satisfactory condition
that confidence cannot be shaken, if
there are those who set out to do it,
But the revival of business was so
Immediate upon the enactment of the

possibility of change or attack, than
is usually the case with new measure,
and, above all. there is SO infniteSimal
a chance of any change being made in
our Tariff policy, when the chance is

tors don't have much effect. The
