SLIGHT RAINFALL.
Corn Left Gets Badly Needed Showers.
 Continued Warm Weather.

Washington, July 30.-The rains in the corn belt today were considerably less than during the past forty-eight hours but they fell where they were most needed, that is, in southwestern Ohio and southern Illinois. There were also good rains in Tennessee and Ar kansas and more showers in Missouri, Iowa, eastern Nebraska and eastern Kansas. Singularly enough, though rain fell around the State of Indiana, there was not any precipitation of i'm portance within it's boundaries. The central portion of the corn belt of Texas is still without much-needed rain. Prospects generally are for fair weather in the corn belt now with warmer weather west of the Missis- sippi and on Thursday warmer weather east of that river. Temperatures in the corn belt show little change during the past twenty-four hours, the maxi mum -4aving averaged rather less than 90 west of the Mississippi and slightly over nat figure 70 the east.
 In the Atlantic States 1t has been warm and temperatures probably will continue about the same.

 ''No man can say, how important a part the money question will play in the next campaign. That will depend on conditions. But various phases of the money question are constantly pre- senting themselves, and the Demo- cratic party ought not to recede from it's position on this question, although other questions may be of more lm- portance for the time being.

From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
DR.. Abraham Wallace of Harley street
relates a curious story concerning the
death of the late Mr.. P. L. Foxwell the
stock broker Of Thames Ditton, whose body
was found In the river six weeks after his
disappearance. On the night before he
was missing Nr. FoXwen visited his aged
mother at Finsbury Park, and the old la
dys parting words were, "Oh, Percy, do
take care; feel as If something is going
to happen to you tonight" The lecturer
explained that, being a lady interested in
psychic matters, Mrs. Foxwell last year
visited clairvoyant, who told her that
she would be a widow within twelve
months. After her husbands disappear
ance she consulted another clairvoyant,
and, although not possessed of psychic
powers, she saw in the crystal her hus-
bands drowned body. In the drawing
room at Ditton Lawn some of the party
were positive that the dead mans spirit
form was present Subsequently letters
from the dead man were read, and after
his body had been found a communication
from him was received in which he stated
that las his dead body had been found he
did not wish to give any further particu-
lars about himself as it would greatly up
set his dear wife" In conclusion, he said
that nearly every one of the incidents pre-
dicted by the clairvoyants had been veri-
ied-a fact that Mrs. Foxwell and others
would willingly testify by affidavit.

QUIZ CLASSES on RAILROADS,
A New Plan for Instructing Employees
in Their Duties.
From the New York Sun.

rom the New 1Urk SUM-
Quiz classes on the various big rail-
roads, said veteran railroad man, 'are
a new idea Accidents are mostly caused
by a want of knowledge of railroad rules,
and for this reason various quiz masters
have been put at work
"A quiz master generally has an entire
car to himself in which he travels over the
lines. He has the employees of each sec
tion on his list, and they are notified when
and where to appear for quiz class on
the rules.
When this idea was first introduced the
men did not take to it kindly They are
generally exceedingly well-informed men.
but there are always some things that need
explanation. For instance. quiz master
Will take a whole train crew at one time
and put them through a preliminary eX-
animation that will very soon develop
points that they know very little about
Rules are all right, but frequently there
are things that need explanation and eluci
actly cover. After a trainhand has pass
ed the ordeal of an impartial quiz he is
doubly competent to do his duty.
The employees are being graded by the
quiz master After he finds a trainman
is not only thoroughly Informed as to the
rules, but to any situation that may
arise in his work, he gives him a certiti-
cate. 1t is a sort of a diploma that will
employing railroad official. The trainhands
who do not first pass the final examina-
tions have other chances. If they are like
ly men and take an interest in things they
are patiently instructed and examined
again.
Every company has It's book of rules
for all classes of railroad labor. These
rules are the basis of the knowledge of the
men. 1t is deemed best that the men shall
know these rules by heart. Then comes in
the work of the quiz master. He must see
that they know exactly what each rule
means, and if ever there is an exception
to rule, when and where 1t must be ex-
ercised. OF course, all this means that in
the near future no trainman can secure
employment unless he has a certificate.
Railroad companies are tired of recruiting
new men and then training them into the
service. Railroad employees are to be eX-
pert wOrkmen. They will gradually re-
celve better pay, according to the merit
of their certificate. Such certificate not
only covers their ability tTanmen, but
it has to do with their moral character,
integrity, sobriety and standing in the
community in which they live.
Thousands and thousands of dollars are
now being saved to rolling stock and equip
ment, simply because employees are being
drilled into a thorough knowledge of TAX

Sure have, sir, exclaimed the
waiter. in tone of the utmost relief; and
he fairly flew out to the kitchen.

If they would sell directly. Or If they
should be content to forego a part of it,
this would put their products on the mar
kets of the world at lower cost, and this,
in turn, would increase American trade.
Why do we sell principally to England? =?
Because England is claser than any other
nation to our commercial frontier. Ameri-
can trade to great extent flows through
through north Atlantic ports. South At
lantic, gulf and Pacific ports do only a
small part of the total business of the
country in exports and imports.
The Pacific ports are too far from the
great centers of manufacturing to handle
the exports of American manufacturers.
The north Atlantic ports are more distant
than the British ports from the markets
of the world. The cutting Of the Mica
ragua canal would establish on the gulf
and south Atlantic new commercial pick
ct line-the line Of attack in the war for
supremacy in the east. By present routes,
New York is much further from China and
Japan that are the cities of Great Britain
or the continent. If the Nicaragua canal
were constructed, even New York would be
nearer than the ports of Europe to these
ports
But the ports of the south would be much
nearer, and through them an enormous
trade with the orient would flow. The
saving made in distance by the cutting of
the Nicaragua canal would give to our
manufacturers, north as well as south, ad-
yantaRes in the markets of eastern Asia
that would be decisive.
Within five years from the completion Of
the Nicaragua canal American exports will
be doubled, and much that now goes
through the hands of middlemen would go
direct to the consumer. The canal is a
matter Of vital Importance. Too much time
has already been wasted In debate If the
Mckinley administration wishes to make
for itself monument which will forever
perpeeuate its memory it can find none
so endurable as this great waterway would

Mr. Monet continues:
Subsidized papers and bribed public off,
cials by these law violators will work
their own ruin sooner or later The ex-
posure made by the Industrial commission
has had It's wholesome place In this work,
but some more drastic measures must soon
be administered. The states have the SOW
ereign power to protect all lawful efforts
of organized wealth, but when the state
creates the corporations that use their del
egated powers for other purposes than the
government itself could use them 1t is time
then to revoke such charters by the courts.
This government was established to pro-
mote the general welfare not for the spe-
cial welfare of few magnates. Neither
can this sovereignty delegate its govern
mental functions to seven trustees to op-
crate the government for their special well
fare and for their posterity.'
mo corporate creature Of this govern
ment can deprive citizen Of his property
through monopolistic combinations and ex-
act an unnatural and uncomfortable trib-
ute or excise from the consumer by this
brute force and long hold the public good
will Neither can this band of law
violators long deny the common citizens
the equal protection of the laws: neither
can they destroy competitors' property at
