Senator Depew as chairman of the
New York State Republican convention
says the campaign Of the Democrats this
year nationally. is TO be conducted who'll
~ in opposition to tariff and to Presi-
dent Roosevelt. On the first proposition
there are but few Democrats who want
any more of that free trade stuff they
we're supposed to get under Cleveland.
when the tariff question was such an Is
sue, and they are all glad the starvation
period ended with Cleveland. The fact
is if they know themselves they are not
going to NEEDLE with the tariff, but will
shy as far away from it as possible, for
the reason that the rank and file of the
party is satisfied that their protested
leaders do not know how to handle that
question satisfactorily and in man
ner that will be beneficial to the coun-
try. So far as the course of President
Roosevelt is concerned, the Democratic
party has extolled him through its press
50 much and so heartily. rs chief ex-
ccutive OF the highest and best type that
there need be no fear of what it may
undertake to say under the excitement OF
campaign. and besides there is no sub
stantial argument against him. Truly
American that he is, true Americanism
will support him.

Exactly how the two leading eandi-
dates stand numerically in their cam
paign for governor Is difficult to deter
mine One claims nearly all the dele
gates thus far and the other claims
Just u many. The contest has been OF
such bitter character that there is
mucn bad feeling and the prospect il that
something will happen within the next
thirty days that will retire one of them
from the race and probably both. The
idea Of compromise candidate, or rath-
er a dark horse" is growing. In that
event those most widely mentioned are
Judge Joan w Mason and Col Thomas
y. Davis. Either is wen qualified for
the place and no one doubts but that
they would fill the place with just rs
much ability as either Of the present
aspirants.

There Is considerable responsibility,
it appears, in roilroading in this country
Of late. and the subject is worthy OF
thorough investigation. in fact. it ia mr.
gent that such investigation should be
made. If it be the fauEt Of employees
OF railroad companies, it is the duty of
the companies to make the most search
ing examination of the matter If it
be the fauts oil the companies themselves
it i the imperative duty Of the State
and nation. perhaps, to take the thing
in hand and see what is the matter. And
that leads TO the idea that there ought
to be a railroad commission in this
state with defined duties, not arbitrary
or detrimental. but such as win give
Justice to both the railroads and those
who patronize them.

CONFIDENCE is RETURNING.
Trade Conditions Are said to BE I'm.
proving Regardless OF the
Labor Troubles.

The advices received from special
agents of the International Mercan.
tile Agency. at the leading trade cen
ers of the country, are In the main
satisfactory. Confidence In good
fall and winter business Increases
from week 20 week. Current activ-
ity in the different Industrial lines
Is not great, but 1t Is better than II
was year ago, with the very whole.
some influence OF a faith in better
things.
There has been good growing
weather for the crops, which are ap.
preaching harvest under continued
improved conditions. In the spring
wheat section of the northwest some
rust has been discovered. which will
reduce the yield. Harvesting is in
progress in nearly all of the leading
winter wheat states, and the results
are better than farmers thought they
would be two weeks ago. II is be-
ginning to be believed, though, that
the total yield will leave a small ex-
portable surplus and that the price
of wheat and flour during the next ~
months will be high. The specula-
tive months are now at the top prices
for this movement, having been help
ed by a war scare which produced an
opposite effect on stocks.
The returns on wheat In the south
west have stimulated business in
that part of the country. Collections
in the st. Louis district have far ex.
ceeded those of last year. Fall or
ders being received are beyond ex-
pectations. Boots and shoes have
been in especially good demand,
though clothing Is SLOW. Dallas re-
ports bright trade prospects.
The first symptom of discourage.
mont that has been shown at Kansas
City is apparent this week in reports
of slack condition of trade in most
lines. Chicago retailers are said to
be more pessimistlc than they ought to
be in view Of actual events. The
packing house strike casts shadow
over trade there. even With advance
orders for clothing. mems furnish
ines. shoes and wearing apparel
quite satisfactory. indianapolis in.
dicates some improvements in dry
goods and shoes, though with hard.
ware behind last year.
The most gratifying trade state.
ments of all are those from Pittsburg.
This Is due to The improvement that
has come about in tho iron and steel
trade. The tone OF business is Ger.
tplnly much better than 1t has been,
aud a sharp revival is not improbable
after election.

All Crops Reported Progressing All

The weekly crop report of the
Weather Bureau. Is as follows:
While rather cool for best results
In the Lake region and portions of
the Central valleys, with lack of sun
shine and too much rain in the Mid
die Atlantic and Central Gulf States,
the weather conditions of the week
ending July 25. as whole, were favor.
able. Limited areas in the South At.
lantic States, Tennessee and the Ohio
and Upper Missouri valleys and North
Pacific coast need rain. with the ex-
ception of portions of the Central
Missouri Valley excellent weather Tor
harvesting ond thrashing prevailed in
the Central valleys. where harvesting
IS nearly finished and thrashing has
made rapid progress. Quite generous
and much-necded rains occurred in
the Middle and Southern Rocky Noun

SYMPATHETIC STRIKE.

the packing industry at Chicago quit
work when called on Monday to rs.

forts to bring the packers to terms.
In several Instances the men did not
wait for the official notification from
their leaders To strike, but threw
down their tools and quit work Of
their own volition.

clared that they were perfectly suits.

the plants worked regular time, a.
though at a reduced capacity. At

that 1850 hogs. 700 cattle ana 200
sheep were slaughtered during tho
