affect to believe that under Republican
rule, the increase of the army will result
in the maintenance of national power by
means of standing armies. That finally
the military power will override civil
authority and endanger the liberties of
the people. 1t means this, if it means
anything. and in order that the .'bogie
man" may use it to brighten dull-witted
people, the natural inference sought to
be conveyed is, that at some time some
where, some how, in this country, a con-
dition of affairs will obtain like that
which took place in the time of Caesars,
when Roman legiOnS sold the empire to
the highest bidder.
But I recall an incident of the war
two years ago, with which you are all
familiar. It was when our army was en-
gagged in storming the heights of San
Juan hill. You remember how we stood
before the bulletin boards, or read in the
afternoon editions of the newspa pers. how
the men of one of the regiments meeting
the assault. while under fire, received
orders to lie down and await supports
and how, lying there under a tropical
sun and the merciless fire of a concealed
enemy. with the dead and dying about
them they sang The Star Spangled Ban
ner.' as men never sang 1t before.

Grain Letter.

WHEAT-Liverpool cables came un-
changed this morning but the market
opened strong and showed a tendency to
advance. Closing cables came a half pen
ny higher and this started good buying,
advancing the price to &c for July and
holding it around top quotations for the
balance of the session. Clearances were
only fair. but receipts were light, only l6
cars at Chicago and 1T5 cars in the north
west. Bradstreets report issued at noon
was a bullish document, making worlds
decrease 4, 800 900 blu. against an increase
of $4,000 last year. Cash markets were
firm: milling wheat in good demand.
Wheat has many strong and influential
friends and it is worth the money.
CORN-Yesterday's afternoon session
witnessed the final liquidation in July corn
and probably the low price for this year
The Patten-Frazier crowd have picked
up lot of corn on this break and viii
now complete the bull campaign by adj
vancing prices just as high as they want
to- We would not be at all surprised to
see July corn selling in the dfties before
the campaign is over.
OATS are strong and liberal trade IS
going on. Mostly buying.
PROVISIONS-Ther was strong mar
ket at the yards for hogs, opening steady
and closing to 10c higher and strong at
the advance. July pork is gradually creep
ing upward. 1t has all the symptoms Of
a bull market, viz: first creeping, then
sneaking and finally winding up with q
rapid advance. j. C. GOlNGS.

While the crop news continued to the
end to form the main support of the

DUPREE WOMAN FREED.
Acquitted of Murder in Dis
trict Court Today.

The jury in the Johanna Dupree MUIR
der case brought in a verdict of not
guilty after being out an hour.
The arguments closed this morning
and the case went to the jury at IL
o'clock
The defense attempted to show that
the Dupree woman shot RED" Erwin
in self-defense, and that Erwin had
threatened her life at several times,
and that she was afraid of him. They
claim she ordered him from the house
and requested several men to take him
away, and when he did not go she got
her revolver and shot him.
The verdict will be a great surprise.
The Dupree woman is a notorious po-
lice court character, and the man she
killed belonged to her class. People
generally supposed she would be easily
convicted, as it appeared at the time
that there was little Drovocation for
the shooting.
The prosecution was conducted by
County Attorney Jetmore and his dep
uty, Galen Nichols. Judge J. L. Ems
minger assisted by w. I. Jamison were
attorneys for the defense.

and hollow chests, the men too weak to
work were work offered them. The re-
lief supplies are being cooked by the
authorities, because the people are so
poor that they have no means of cook
ing the food themselves. The sousy
sort or mess of rice and beans served
out to these half starved people is de-
voured as if it were the most delicious
product.
on the whole I find the commercial
condition on a much firmer footing
since my visit of a year ago. The sugar
industry is on its feet again, and al
though the crop this year is short,
thousands of tons will be carried on eN-
cry northbound steamer for some
months to come. Tobacco also seems
very promising. The future for the fruit
business in Porto Rico is bright The
Florida crop has been frosted for five
seasons. Frost is unknown in Porto
Rico and her fruit capacity has never
been tested. Fruits in Porto Rico have
never been cultivated because there has
too far away, and fruit was barred by
tariff from the United States I can
foresee a rush of fruit growers to the
island from the states within a few
months. AS no fruit is under cuItiva-
ton the newcomers will have to start
with the setting out of their plants and
it VIII only be a matter of few years
when railways will be built to connect
interior points with seacoast towns. Az
soon as the fruit is ready for market a
line of special fruit steamers will run tc
the island, and the trip can easily be
made in three and a half days.

CHAIRMAN PoRrER's ADDRESS
Discusses Present Attitude of the Re
publican PARTY.

Chairman Silas Porter in accepting
the Office of chairman, said:
In political as in military cam
paigns, much depends upon the choice of
ground The Republican party, wise in
its choice of leaders, has been fortunate
in its choice of battle ground for the
coming conflict. In attempting to
describe the tactics, or want of tactics,
of our opponents, no Improvement can
be made, 1 think, on the illustration of
Mr.. bolivar of Iowa, who said years
ago, that the Democratic party always
approaches a great political question
like a man about to empty a pan of
hard coal ashes in a high wind-with
eyes shut and back to the subject
