ACCORDING to information re-
ceived at Washington, the damage
caused to crops by the recent hot
weather and droughts in the mid
die West has been greatly eXag-
gerated, probably with view to
speculation. Assistant Secretary
Taylor of the treasury department,
who has Just returned from trip

that the crops in that section are

out the great western agricultural
section. Railroad men make an
especial point of keeping thorough
ly posted on crop conditions, and
their testimony on the subject may
therefore be accepted as entirely
reliable. They say the reports
from Kansas and Nebraska con
cerning the damage done by the
drought have been magnified.
There is every prospect of unusu-
ally large crops all over the West,
Notwithstanding the uufavorable
weather conditions. In Minneso-

rye, potatoes and hay are also in
good shape and the crops of these

excel those of last year, both in

The passenger department of the
Rock Island railway announces
the lowest rates to Cleveland on
account of the g. A. R. Encamp-

have been accorded the old SOL

with a Joint agent before Septem-
Der 10 and paying fee of SO

The trip to Cleveland will be
one of much pleasure and snjoy-

made by the Rock Island will
make it possibi. for large num-

friends to go at very small ex-

HOW HEROES ARE MADE

pretty and pathetic story has
been going the rounds of the papers,
in which colored workman out in
indianapolis was pictured as giving
up his life in order that a fellow
workman who was married might
have his life spared to his wife and
children. The story was told with
variety of pretty and dramatic details,
and naturally called forth much
praise of the humble hero.
The aftermath is told in this way
by the New York Times:
On Monday last we published a very
interesting and pathetic story from In
dianapolis about n negro who. when
steam was accidentally turned into the
big boiler in which he and a companion
were working, nobly gave the other man
chance to escape first and in conse-
quence OF the delay was himself fatally
burned The tale was one of the kind we
are glad to publish, and as it came
through the regular Associated Press
channels, the possibility that it was false
or inaccurate did not occur to us then.
The next day, however, Mr.. Joseph b.
Glider sent us a letter expressing his ap-

nucleus for monument fund. His ex
ample was followed by several other gen
erous readers of the Times Thereupon
the duty to investigate was borne in on
us, and we investigated, with the lament

indianapolis authority, including the tes-
timOny OF the man who was saved. that.
except for the fact that an accident of
the sort described did occur. the story

cepted by the Associated Press agent.
and that the monument scheme would
have to be abandoned When the steam
was turned into the boiler the two men

self, and had it not been for the desperate
struggle which each made to get out
first, both could easily have escaped in
safety. There was no discussion as to
the superior right to life possessed by a
married man, no display of self-sacrifice
nothing. in short, except new and need
less proof that poor humanity. when
confronted with by sudden and terrible
peril sometimes fails to demonstrate its
higher possibilities. So yesterday we re-
turned the contributions we had received
to the donors, with sincere regrets that
we had excited their emotions without
cause.
No comment on this is necessary.

THE Philadelphia Record prints that
portion of Gov. Aycock's New York
speech in reference to our franchise
amendment law, and speaks of it as
an ''ingenius if not satisfactory de-
Tense of the action Of his State in re-
stricting negro suffrage" The Record
follows up the quotation with the adj
mission that Ignorant suffrage is a
recognized source of danger wherever
the laws permit its exercise and
thinks there would be very slight
objection in any part of the country
to the elimination of the negro vote

AYCOCk'S NEW YORK SPEECH.

The Northern papers in the main
applaud and praise Gov. Aycock's
speech at the banquet of the North
Carolina Society in New York May
goth. The New York correspondent
Of the Philadelphia Press writes that
those who heard the North Carolina
orator ..have been speaking ever since
with fine enthusiasm of his brilliant
speech" He says "no address has
been delivered in New York to COM
pare with it since Henry W. Grady
astonished and delighted the mem
bers of the New England Society by
revelation of the higher gifts of ora
tory"
The Baltimore Sun says: The
oratory of Governor Aycock, of North
Carolina, seems 10 have made most
favorable impression upon New York
ecs. Although comparatively
young man, he has a wide reputation
as an eloquent and forceful speaker.
AS a political campaigner he is with
| out a superior in the Tar Heel State,
which has never lacked able and effec-
tive orators.n
The Washington Post also speaks in
high praise of the speech. The Louis
vile Post says this: Eastern news
papers are comparing the recent New
York speech Of Governor Avcock, OF
North Carolina, to the famous speech
of Henry W. Grady to the New Eng
land Society. Mr.. Aycock is a young
man of ability, and we may expect 10
| hear from him in the future as one Of
| the leaders Of the SOUTH
We are glad Governor Aycock went
| to New York and delivered this
| speech 1t will do the State good
it will do the South good. He ssid
| things that needed to be said in the
| place and in the manner they were
said, and it is gratifying to know

ceived.
