Mrs. Chas. Penn last Sunday award
ed silver medals to two of her pupils
in the Presbyterian Sabbath school for
perfect lessons during the entire year.
The favored two are among our most
promising youths -Barnard Bee and
Willie Cameron. Mrs. PENIS class
consists of these two prize winners
and Dougal Mccormick, Leon
Oberschmidt, Rosa Cooke and Lee
McLaurin; all of whom received certif-
icates for reciting perfectly the child's
catechism. These latter were open to the
entire Sabbath school and were offered
by the editor of the Christian Observ

feels just pride in her studious pu
pills, and they should love and honor
so faithful a teacher.

Ten days ave wrought a marvellous
change of sentiment in Indiana regarding
the prospects for crops. Men who were
discouraged two weeks ago are now quite
hopeful. Those who declared then that they
would AVE no corn nave since discovered
that they will have some, and others who
were hopeless say they will have half a
crop or more. There are even those who
are SO hopeful that they expect something
from late potatoes. The prospects for fall
feed for live stock is now good, so that
farmers will not be- Obliged to sacrifice all
of their stock. In a small matter the
change of sentiment is illustrated by COM
pairing the declaration Of ten days ago
that there would be no tomatoes with the
statement tina. the rain and sunless wealth
er Of the past week has caused them 10
break open without ripening. In the mean
time the prices of vegetables have been
potatoes if the country round about us
were the only source of supply, but the
railroads give us a wide range of country
from which to draw, and there are sections
where the crop is fair. Generally we are
recovering from the hopeless feeling into
which we talked ourselves two weeks ago..
1t is possible that we may go TO the other
extreme. The Imagination often supplants
the judgment regarding such matters. AS
for the farmers who depend upon corn
for cash. the much higher price for many
fewer bushels will about equalize results,
and the work of handling the larger crop
will be saved. We may yet be reasonably

Correspondence ofthe Associated Press.
HONOLULU, Aug. 13.-The question of
the Constitution and the flag is not yet
settled In Hawaii. as applicable to criminal
matters. The Supreme Court has just begun
a special term 10 consider the cases of "A
number Of prisoners released by the Cir
cult Court, on the ground that they were
illegally convicted because, after annexa-
ton, they were found guilty and sentenced
on verdicts OF nine jurors. 1t is contended
by Attorney General Dole that the recent
insular decisions contained nothing to in
dicate an opinion by the national Supreme
Court that the first ten amendments TO the
Constitution follow the flag" hut that the
said decision simply covers the point that
annexed territories cease TO be foreign, as
far as tariff considerations are concerned,
as soon as annexation is complete. The
Supreme Court here heard lengthy argu-
ments on the question yesterday. There are
about twenty-five convicted men whose
cases depend on the decision of the question
and civil interests are also at stake. The
issue is as 10 whether the Constitution
followed the flag. not only as 10 tariffs. but
including all its provisions. This. il is
claimed, the court at Washington has not
yet decided.
United States Judge Estes has rendered
a decision, in which he declares that all
Chinese born in the Hawaiian islands are
American citizens, no matter what govern
ment they were born under.

o'clock this morning. Ex-Congressman
Thorpe, chairman of the resolutions COM
mittee. presented the platform. which was
adopted by reclamation without debate.
The platform indorses and announces ad-
hesion to the principles of the national
Republican party, as enunciated in the
Philadelphia platform. 1t indorses McKin-
ley's administration and gives its %unquali-
fled assent to the Republican doctrine that
the people are sovereign and that all pow
er is derived from, and belongs to the peo-
pie. 1t declares it's Willingness to trust to
the people the decision Of all political is
sues. 1t denounces all attempts to dis
eliminate in favor Of, or against citizens
of Virginia on account OF race or color. 1t
protests against the proposition to confer
the right of suffrage on unworthy persons
on account of the merits or achievements
of their ancestry, as tending to create a
privileged class. and discrimination against
others equally worthy. 1t favors the right

1t declares it's unalterable opposition to
criminal trusts and to every illegal COM
bination of capital; but wages no war on
combination of capital for legitimate pur-
poses and arraigns the Democratic party
of Virginia, which has had control of the
state government for fifteen years, for it's
failure to enact any law or take any steps
to control, prevent or punish such criminal
trusts and illegal combinations OF capital.
1t protests against the scheme to promul-
gate the new Constitution without SUBJ
hitting IL to the people. 1t favors economy
in the administration of state government
and charges the Democratic party with
wanton extravaganza and with willful
waste. 1t condemns the Democratic party
for not having changed the law OF fellow

Court of Appeals, and d%enounces the acts

The foreign demand for wheat is now an
interesting and important feature in the
situation. as ii must affect the price of
the large crop in the United States. There
have been reports OF short crops of bread
stuffs in Europe and elsewhere, but II was
not until within two weeks that reliable
reports of the shortage could be made.
That most reliable authority. the Mark
Lane Express, gives figures which are en-
will not exceed 900. 100000 bushels, which
will make II necessary to import 6O.OOO.0co
bushels. As france often has wheat to
spare to other countries 1t will be seen
that France must add 60,0O0.00 bushels to
the aggregate that must come from other
countries. Again, the total crop estimated
IN the great territory of northwestern
Europe is placed at 500. 600. 900 bushels, while
the requirements for consumption are e64.-
100000 bushels. This region. which includes
Great Britain. must draw upon other cOun-
tries for PCS. 600 600 bushels. Here are $685.
0 bushels of wheat needed by France
and northwestern Europe. Where is it to
come from? Our new crop is estimated at
$4,000. 600 bushels. of which we shall need
100000 bushels for home consumption,
leaving 275. oOo. 900 bushels for export. Where
can the remainder be found? Usually In
dia and Egypt have more than enough for
export to make good the European deficit
after our surplus Is contributed, but this
year those countries have no wheat of any
n-- 1-f
Australia and the Balkan states have a
surplus for export, but the Mark Lane Ex-
press estimates that Italy. Austria-Hun-
gary, China and the Spanish peninsula will
need all those countries can spare. This
means that there will be a ready market
for the whole of our surplus crop. so the
American farmer may expect an unusually
good price. At the present time foreign
ers, alive to the dependent condition of
Europe. are purchasing large quantities
of American wheat. the amount in the two
weeks ending last Saturday being 1900, 900
bushels. The shipments one day this week
were 1,754.O Do bushels.
At a time when Europe Is so dependent
on the United States for bread and meat
the ak in foreign countries of shutting us
out of the worlds markets is calculated to
attract attention to Europe's dependence
upon us from time to time, and TO remind
it's people that Europe would be in per-
petual distress for food If there was no

to meet their deficit and to hold prices

A curious development of the color line
has occurred in Cuba. In submitting a plan
for organizing the nucleus of an army the
American authorities provided for several
batteries of artillery, TO be composed ex-
clusively of white men. This discrimina-
ton against the negroes has elected a
decided protest. La Nacion, a Havana
paper, edited by a white Cuban general,
says:
The basis is American and not Cuban,
and the negroes are barred. Cubans OF
good faith. who were i'm the revolution.
cannot and ought not to admit these diff
ferences. If the negro was good for
fighting for liberty, If. in the war for lib
saw him only as a comrade, then in
peace we ought to do the same, through
the spirit of justice, through shame and in
order to avoid future evils. The Amer
leans cannot look upon the question of
race I'm the same way which We see IL.
We are obliged to protest against the acts,
to refuse to accept that responsibility, to
refuse to admit it In any manner.
Another Cuban newspaper edited by a
white man characterizes the proposition
as Uncomfortable" and says: 1.-The Amer
leans have nothing whatever to do with a
question which has been forever decided
by those whom alone II concerns" In view
of these protests the discriminating provi-
sions should be withdrawn.
