tomebody had to be killed; and bayeo
man, trapped in barn, was killed by
/ little too quick play on the trigger by

The intent had been to capture Booth
alive and lead him in chains to WASH

1t would have rumpled history less had

impossible.
AtteStation of successive events con-

study and analysis of the conflicting as

parations for the assassination of Lin

Ford remarked to Booth that Lincoln
was going to the theatre that very night.
This remark preceded the shooting ex-
actly eleven hours. The statement was
made in all innocence and sincerity by
MT. Harry Ford, and neither he nor his
brother, John 7. Ford, were in the least
responsible for Booths ambitions or per-
petrations. In fact they knew nothing
of them.
There is not an hour of Booths time

The mills OF this country spin but 50

and the mills located in the cotton belt
spin but 1888 per cent. Of this 80 per cent:
There is therefore much room for mill
building in this section. In 1880 there
were 1856 mills In the South; now there
are 716. There is every reason for eS-
pecting another doubling in the present
southern mills should not be doubled. be-
cause all the economies can be practiced
amid the cotton fields and the American
cron should be spun at home.

But there is abundant reason for
believing that the man who was shot
on the Garret farm is reported on the
roll Of the Confederacy like thousands
of others, as missing; that Booth
got away to England; that the family
request for the remains had an under
lying knowledge that his Baltimore
friends would be unable to identity
them; that on one occasion, at least,
Wilkes visited Edwin in this country;

The assassination of President Mckinley Is deplored and Governor Van Sant is upheld in his fight against the consolidation of railroads. Regarding the Phil ippines, 1t urges that the inhabitants of the islands be encouraged in participating in a democratic government as far as practicable when peace shall have been established and they shall have shown their capacity fo- self government. The policy for protection Is en- dorsed, though such notifications are favored as may be necessary to extend the trade of the United States among the nations The platform recommends a plan of reciprocity with Cuba which shall ensure the profitable interchange of commodities with that country without injuring home products or enriching trusts or nonopolies.

REPORT ON CONDITION OF THE
 GRAIN CROP.
Heavy Rains Have Fallen in Many Sections of the Country-Course of Wheat Prices Reflect
 Traders Views.

Chicago. July 1.-Reports received here today from the grain States most af- fected by the heavy June rains indicate that the crop situation is not so dlscour- aging as it has been painted in many quarters. This was reflected in the grain pits today, for while the markets were firm at the opening and for some time following the excitement of yesterday seemed to have subsided and there was disposition to place much faith In the restorative effects of warmer weather. which was reported in some sections ana was believed to be. on the way in other places. Ohio, Michigan. Missouri, Kan sas. Nebraska, Oklahoma and Indian Ter ritory crops were said to be generally in a favorable condition.
 Damage generally, 1t is said, would be largely repaired by warm weather in July. The lowlands of Illinois appear to have been the worst sufferers. while Iowa is expected to have stood the weather with remarkable success. There were rains west and northwest last night and the forecast Is for showers over the cen- tral valley and lake region within the next q hours.
