The New siest Kind of a Newspaper.


OF course, every man should be a
subscriber and reader of his home
paper. No community would long re-
main in peace and harmony that
ignored this simple rule of life. But
there are other papers. 1t is about one
of these that we feel like saying a
kindly word, not because it needs it,
but because it may be of benefit to
some of our readers.
There is now being published at Min
neapolls a newspaper called the 1ri-
bune. Nearly everybody in the North
west has heard about it. But there are
many to whom a wears subscription
would be like years schooling; and
it is for these and others, too, who
would be benefited by its perusal that
we wish to point out some of its excel
lent qualities.
The Tribune is one of the newsy
kind of newspapers. The kind that
covers the range of the worlds events
promptly, Interestingly and with suf-
ficient blevity to enable the busy man
and woman to read it and still do a
days work. The Tribune during the
past two years covered the Philippine
war and the South African war so fully,
yet SO perspicaciously that it left
nothing lacking.
In fact, what is true of the war news
is true of The 1ribame's news in
general-all the news, dished up hot
and boiled down to the clear broth.
The Tribune's cartoons are the auin-
tessence of fun and common sense
rolled into lump; all the people, old
and young alike watch daily for the
latest creation of Bowman and his dog.
Nearly everybody nowadays is in
terested in photography. The 7ri-
bune's amateur Photographic feature
every Sunday is one of the cleverest.
1t is wonderful how finely some of
these pictures can be reproduced.
But there is still one more reason
why we like The Tribune. 1t is al
ways loyalty Republican and Loyalty
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and the oracle
of prosperity and improving conditions.
There was very trite saying frequent
ly said of The Tribune year or two
ago which ran thus:
"If you don't read The Tribune, you
don't get the news"
Its CHEEKY attitude and bright COM
ment have suggested to us paraphrase
like this:
"If you do read The Tribune you
won't have the blues"
We say 1t with all emphasis; its a
mighty good paper. You shouldn't be
without ii.

ing untried paths and facing unforeseen respon
sibilities President Mckinley has been in
every situation the true American patriot and
the upright statesman, clear in wisdom, strong
in judgment, firm in action, always inspiring
and deserving the confidence of his country
men.
In asking the American people to endorse
this Republican record and to renew their
commission to the Republican party, we re-
mind them of the fact that the menace to their
prosperity has always resided in Democratic
principles and no less in the general incapaci-
ty of the Democratic party to conduct public
affairs. The prime essential Of business pros
perity is public confidence in the good sense OF
the government and in its ability to deal intel
hgently with each new pr oblem Of administra
tion and legislation. That confidence tho
Democratic party has never earned. 1t is
hopelessly inadequate and the country's pros
pcrity, when Democratic success at the polls Is
announced, halts and ceases in mere anticipa-
tion of Democratic blunders and failures.
We renew our allegiance to the princi-
pies Of the gold standard, and declare our
confidence in the wisdom of the legisla-
tion of the Fifty-sixth congress, by which
the parity of all our money and, ,the sta
bility of our currency upon n gold basis
has been secured We recognize that in
tcrest rates are potent factor in produc-
ton and business activity for the purpose
of further equnlizing and Of further low
cring the rates of interest, we favor such
monetary legislation as will enable the
varying needs of the season and of al
sections to be promptly met in order that
trade may be evenly sustained, labor
steadily employed and commerce cnlarg-

DAMAGE TO WHEAT CROP.
Accounts of Extent Conflict, said Dun's
Review, but the Price
Went Up.

NEW YORK, June Pr. q. Dun &
Co. S weekly review Of trade, issued to-
day, said in part
The damage to the wheat crop of the
northwest is the event of chief import
ance. How extensive the loss may prove,
in view of widely conflicting accounts,
can only be judged from the speculative
markets, in which information gathered
at the west has caused remarkable ad-
vance, at Chicago 10 cents in ten days, and
the price here has advanced II cents per
bdshcl, though for the September option,
only 8 cents The belief Is that so large
part of the spring wheat has been killed
as to reduce yield expected to be close to
the largest ON record to considerably less
than the world has required during the
crop year now ending.
Until within the pastthrec years it
would have been reasoned that any ma
terial advance iii price would neutralize
the foreign conditions which had caused
exports Of about $50, 900, 900 bushels wheat,
flour included, in the closing year, after
222000,0G0 bushels in the previous year
and 2l7,00J,00O bushels i'm the year 1925
besides exports of 2l3,0C0,00O bushels corn
in the closing year against III 1000, 900 last
year and 2l2 100000 in the previous year.
But the facts seem to indicate a more eX-
tensive and lasting increase of foreign de-
mand than has been considered probable.
Other sources of export have been found
disappointing. The United States con-
tinups to show enormous power of in
crease, if supported by prices which, until
recent years, would hardly have been re-
garded remarkably high.
In iron and steel progress toward that
end was made when the structural pro-
duccrs, Il week ago, reduced the prices of
beams to $50 and angles to l.S0 at Pitts
burg, leaving only rails and tinplates
which have not been reduced from the
highest point. The rail works are crowded
far ahead and the question in tinplates
depends largely upon wages. Eastern bar
is reduced to Loo cents, and steel bars to
$50 at Plttsburg, with Il general shutting
down of works expected July 1. Hoops
are quoted there at 2.25, and No. % black
sheets at cents, buyers asking only for
small lots There is wide range of quo
tations for merchant steel, and the lower
prices named for pipe have only started
the demand little, as buyers expect yet
lower quotations.
In wooden goods the manufacturers find
that the demand fails 10 answer cXpecta-
tions or to support prices asked mt the
opening and some large works are now
reported running part time or closing.
At the three chief markets wool has been
extremely dull, with sales of only 2,12O,-
800 pounds. Even where considerable
blocks are offered at low figures the CON
dition of the goods market by no means
encourages buying.

MILLIONS MAY ARISE.
THROUGHOUT CHINA
Northern China Aname and Some South
erncrs Become EXcited-Over 6,OOO
Cinnamon Killed.

LONDON, June 25.-The position of the
international forces i'll the section of
Northern China, where 10000 men are
striving to keep footing and to succor
the legations i'll Pelkin, appears to in
crease in peril with every fresh dispatch
Pekin has not been heard from direct
for IA days. The last dispatch was one
imploring aid. Admiral Seymour S col
umn of 1900 was last heard from IL
days ago At that time it was sur
rounded midway between Pekin and
Tien Tsin. Possibly now it has reached
Pellin.
The 5000 internationals at Tien Tsin
were hard pressed and fighting for their
lives on Thursday and a relieving force
of less than thousand had been beaten
back to Taku Friday. Observers on the
spot think that 100000 men would not
be too many to grasp China firmly.
A dispatch from Shanghai dated Sum
day, at p. m, said that official Japan
ese 'clegrams confirmed the reports of a
defeat Of the allied forces at Tien Tsin.
The foreigners there were placed in a
most desperate situation. The Russian
admiral, Hillebrandt, Saturday sent a
mixed force of 1000 from Taku to at
tempt the relief of Tien Tsin. Nearly
half of the force consisted of japanese.
The remainder was made up of contin-
gents representing the other nations.
The guns of the Chinese around Tien
Tsin were superior to anything the de-
Tending European forces had or were
likely to have for some time.
The bombardment of Tien Tsin con-
linued Friday. Bomb shelters were
hastily erected by the foreign troops,
largely constructed of wetted piece
goods. The food supplies were in
sufficient and the continued shelling is
reported to be telling terribly.
1t was reported from Shanghai Satur-
day evening that the allied forces had
blown up the TalSu forts and that every
available man had been sent to the re-
lief of Tien Tsin. Two thousand, three
hundred Chinese bodies alleged to have
been cremated at Taku and more than
1000 Chinese were said to have been
killed mt Tien Tsin.
WASHINGTON, June 25.-The navy de-
partment issued the following bulletin:

dated Che Foo, June "a, says:
