Ohio valley are now safe. In Iowa,
where corn has ripened very slowly,
jtwo-thirds of the crop will probably
be safe by September 20, and the
balance will require ten days longer.
I 1.-THE threshing of spring wheat, al
though further retarded, has made
more favorable progress than in the
previous week. Texas and large
parts of the central and eastern DIS
tricts Of the cotton belt have re-
ceived abundant rainfall during the
week, but it is doubtful whether the
beneficial effects of these rains to
late cotton will offset the injury done
to the open staple.
''In The states of the upper lake
region the reports respecting apples
are favorable, while those from New
York and New England are variable,
indicating very light crop in some
sections, with plentiful yields in 9th
;ers. in the Ohio valley and most OF
the middle Atlantic states the out.
look continues very poor.
"Plowing for fall seeding has made
more favorable advancement in the
southern states and Missouri valley
but in the Ohio valley and portions
lof the middle Atlantic states and
lake region the soil is too dry for
this work."

RAIN SINKS A BARGE.
Boat Loaded with Crushed stone
Meets with Peculiar Accident at
Detroit-Two of Crew Perish.

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 1O.-The steam
barge H. Houghten, owned in this city,
sank at her dock at the foot Of Dubois
street, early Tuesday. Two of the
crew were drowned in their berths.
The names:
William Daniel, aged Is, no home.
Edward Close, aged is, Harbor
Beach, Mich.
The Houghten arrived Monday night
from Kelly's Island, in Lake Erie, with
load of crushed stone. 1t is thought
that the cargo of crushed stone alb
sorbed SO much water during the heavy
rain Monday night that the weight Of
the water caused the vessel to careen
and finally tip and sink. The Hough-
ten is owned by Capt. Degg and Henry
Houghten, of this city. Capt. Degg was
aboard the barge, but managed to
scramble ashore before she sank.

Volcano on the Island Of stromboli,
Sicily, Pouring Forth Fire
and stone.

Rome, Sept. 1o.-The volcano on
Stromboli island is in full eruption
and is throwing up great columns OF
fire and torrents of stones. The is.
land is shrouded in smoke. Mount
Vesuvius is showing signs of activity.
Stromboli is the northernmost OF
the Lipari islands, in the Mediterra-
mean off the north coast of Sicily. Its
area is eight square miles. 1t is who'll
ly of volcanic formation and has a
constantly active volcano 3,040 feet

but an active one on the side at the
height of about 2,150 feet. On the east

Il Would,

1t Is stated in an authoritative
quarter that the President of the
United States is opposed to any leRis-
lation or even discussion concerning
the tariff. Interference with the tar
if, the president thinks would stin1ure
business.
1t certainly would injure business.
II the people of the United States
knew enough to take the tariff of
meat, hundred thousand steers
would be driven across the frontier
from Mexico in week, and the price
of beef would fall Immediately.
But that would be very bad for busl-
ness-for the business of the beef
trust.
| II the duty we're taken off steel,
wire, and SO on, the man who wants
to keep his COW out of the corn by
running wire fence around the COW,
could get the structural steel or wire
fence at reasonable price.
But that would be bad for business
bad for the business of the steel trust.
1t would prevent score or two of So
called steel kings from buying every
thing they see, and filling the news
papers with neuseating accounts Of
their ostentatious extravaganza.
IL the tariff were taken off all trust
articles, it would compel the trusts to
sell to Americans as cheaply as they
sell TO foreigners, and break up the
present splendid system which gives
the trusts the right to work the
American people "for all the traffic
will bear.n
But that would be bad for business
it would interfere with the accumu-
lations OF fortunes of a hundred mil
lions and scatter prosperity among
the crowd, instead of combining it to a
few.
i Very, very bad for business OF the
trust kind would be any interference
with the tariff. But no one need
worry about it. The trusts will not
allow any such interference.

The Public Protection Of the Coal
Trust.

There has never been in the United
States more unanimous expression of
opinion than that regarding the ope-
rations Of the Coal Trust, its efforts
to coerce Its workmen, its absolute
disregard of tho public.
We call the attention of all readers,
especially of the authorities OF Penn
|sYlvania, to this preposterous fact:
The Coal Trust defes the people
and the people are paying the expense
Of the Coal Trust campaign.
Soldiers, paid for by the public,
/ transported by the public-at Rail-
road Trust rates-and fed by the pub
lie, are put absolutely at the DISPOSE
tion Of the Coal Trust to police their
mines and intimidate their miners.
Nobody doubts that the Coal Trust,
as it stands, is an organization OF GRIM
inals, robbing the public through ex-
fortunate prices for secret boards of
coal, and defying public decency.
That being 80, why should the PEG.
pie supply soldiers TO protect the In
! terests OF thievs!
Let the Coal Trust hire its own
watchmen, look afterits own business.
There is no reason why the public
should stand the expense of the Coal
Trusts fight.
II the soldiers are to be used at all,
they should be used to take possession
OF the mines, to work them with
union men at good union rates, for
the benefit Of the people.
The people Of Pennsylvania should
find way of expressing vigorously
the fact that they do not purpose to
pay out Of their pockets the expenses
of the Coal Trust tight.-Chicago
