ANARsuRp EDIcT

Last nights issue OF the O1ronlcie
contains the following:
1.-The hop committee of midshipmen
at the Naval Academy has taken steps
TO see that none but certain class Of
ueople of the city come TO the hops on
Saturday nights. At the hops already
given, certain Young women and men
have been present to whom objection
has been raised because they are not
parsons whom the middies desire to
attend. To see that this practice is
abolished, all midshipmen will IN the
future be required TO send in 20 the
hop committee the names and address
es of the young women whom they
wish to bring to the hops. and the
committee will pass upon the question
whether these will be allowed to at
tend or not.
If this be true, it means literally
that il Midshipman A wishes to take
Miss b to a Naval Academy hop he
must first ask the hop committee If he
may do so and must send the young
lady's name in for approval. If they
disapprove she cannot attend the hop.
How absurd 1t is not supposed that
any midshipman keeps company with
any young lady who is not refined.
well bred and of polite society, even
if she may not be in the ''set. " Any
midshipman who submits to the strie-
ture as published in another local daily
is without manhood. and not worthy of
being in the United States navy. He
cannot be trusted to uphold his coun-
try's honor if he does not uphold his
rights and the honor of his lady friends
whom he desires to take to the Acad-
smy hops. Let all who are ON the
'hop list" pass a. moral as well as
a social examination before any stric-
lures be placed on those "outside. =
AS for the Capital refuse to believe
that the hop committee has issued such
an absurd edict.

THE CANDIDACY OF PARKER

When a man is the candidate for the
highest Office in the gift Of the Ameri-
can ueople. he is thrown under the
x.ravs of public scrutiny. All his
goings and comings are investigated,
his private life is sifted and his past
and present utterances are weighed,
ia try and find out his inmost thoughts
aid opinions.
1t is great triumph for the Democ-
racy that its candidates for president
and vice president have passed through
this firery ordeal unscathed and are
shown to be of the highest type OF
manhood and as individuals are
worthy the support of all honest men
who desire decent government. Juoge
Parker is a true Democrat. he was
the political and personal friend OF the
great Tilden, of the superb Hancock
and the other imposing figures of DEM
ocratic history. His position as chief
Justice of the court of appeals OF New
York has brought before him for de-
clSiOu many ilupoAtnhe NN'N" - -
the relations OF capital and labor, and
the good Judgment and absolute fair
ness he has displayed has endeared
him 70 the public and the bar alike.
An able and incompatible judge
what higher praise could be given,
what greater recommendation to the
voters of the United States to give
him their suffrages. A great consti-
tutional lawyer, he believes in consti-
tutional government and would exc
cute the law Of the land without fear
or favor. Conservative from nature
and training, there would be no usurp'
ing the legislative or judicial func-
tions of the government while he was
the executive He would call to his
aid the ablest Democrats that arc
available for his cabinet officers and
the United States would enter upon a
term of peaceful prosperity, as far as
human sagacity can aid the efforts OF
a united and energetic people.

What is so rare as day in June?
May will be paraphrased this glorious
autumn weather by remarking
"what could be more glorious than a
day in November" The weather we
have been having for the past few
weeks is simply delightful.
Out of the gloom and storm of early
October nature came forth triumphant
and in her most marvellous guise.
The hazy atmosphere which turns the
distant hills to an amethystine hue
does not prevent the golden orb of day
from giving his invigorating warmth
and bringing out the magnificent
colors OF the autumnal robings of the
nearby forests. The woods have taken
on their multi -colored apparel. q sym
phony of red and brown, scarlet and
gold.
The recent storms did not strip the
foliage as cruelty as might have.been
expected and nature is still in full
Isanoply. Make the most of such days
al these and enjoy the transcendent
beauty of prime November. There is q
whisper afar. We shall have change
soon and the chill winds from Canada
viii bring al ong the snow squall, the
cIouded sky and make bare the trees
so magnificent in their farewell to
summer.

JOHN j. RYAN, OWNER OF RACE
HORSES, UNDER ARREST.
Indicted at st. Louis on Charge Of
Larceny Involving the Sum
of $soo,ooo.

New York, July 27--John j. Ryan, a
race horse owner, whose horses Reliable
and Monster won the first and third
races at Brighton Beach Tuesday, was
arrested at the Brighton track Tuesday
afternoon on q warrant charging him
with larceny by means of an alleged get
rich-quick scheme of which it is said
that he was the head. The amount in
volyed is said to be $S0O,000 The war
rant for Ryan's arrest was issued in st.
Louis and the arrest was made by New
York central Office detective, who was
accompanied by a ST. Louis detective
and George Fickesson, assistant to Cir
cult Attorney Folk. of st. Louis. Ryan
took his arrest coolly. At police head
quarters he gave his age at 3S years and
his occupation horse racing. He was
tfken at once before Supreme ,l-nsirt
sustice Amend. In chamg t)s ~, ~
as 2ted zt 1900: d Congressman rim. i'm
othy d. Sullivan, OF this city, signed the
bond. Al representative OF the circuit
attorneys Office in ST. Louis was indig-
nart when he learned that bail had been
fixed at $4,000.
As accounting for the amount of the
bail 1t was said the warrant contained
two specific complaints, mentioning sew
eral hundred dollars only. Detective
Killian, of st. Louis, said that Ryan was
indicted by the grand jury after several
hundred witnesses had appeared. He
declared that there probably would be
over 1000 complaints against Ryan
when he comes to trial. Killian said
the scheme in this case was one in
which readers of st. Louis newspaper
advertisements were asked to go into
plan for large profits. The horse rae
ing game was in the background, said
Klllian. Dividends were paid to some
of the first subscribers. but as the num-
Der increased the dividends were passed
and all the money coming in was kept.

ment of Iowa railroad property has
been increased this year $996,71y.
The total assessment is now 57,53S,-
232 These figures have been official
ly promulgated by the state executive
council.
OF the increase about half is due to
the new mileage which was not as
sessed at all last year, or If SO, at the
lowest arbitrary figure possible, be-
cause not yet operated.
The o." bears nearly a quarter Of
million dollars of the total net m
crease. OF this $44,1s5 is due to /.

loosa. The main line assessment was
increased from $13,500 to $4,000 a
mile, amounting to $137,960; the Ne
braska branch also was increased
from $4,750 to $6,250 mile, amount
ing to more than $5S,000.

ed in the sum of 5000. But the new

$244,O00.
The Northwestern's property was
forced to bear clear increase with
out reference to new mileage of about
$4,000, the main ie assessment be
ing raised from $14 500 to $4,000 a
mile.
+ The Newton & Northwestern's ad-
ditional eighty miles of new line are

new mileage was 100000, but the old
line was reduced 1000.

CONDITION OF THE CROPS
WEATHER FOR THE PAST WEEK
HAS BEEN FAVORABLE.
Corn Makes Good Growth and Is in Elk
cellent Condition--Harvest-
ing Continues.

Washington, July 27.-The. weekly
crop report of the weather bureau, is
sued Tuesday, is as follows:
While rather cool for best results
in the lake region and portions of the
central valleys, with lack of sunshine
and too much rain in the middle At
lantic and central gulf states, the
weather conditions of the week end
ing 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 Mis-
souri, valley, excellent weather for har-
vesting and threshing prevailed in the
central valleys, where harvesting Is
nearly finished and threshing has
sQade Rapid pregress; Quite generous
and much needed rains occurred In the
middle and southern ROXY nc nhaln 'as.
districts, partially relieving the .El
we're and protracted drought.
While higher temperature in the ex-
treme northern portion of the corn
belt would have been more favorable,
corn has made excellent growth and is
in most promising condition generally
throughout the corn belt
With anot6eI s'week Of favorable
weather for harvesting and threshing,
this work has advanced satisfactorily,
the harvesting of winter wheat being
nearly completed in the more north
erly sections.
Some complaints of rust in spring
wheat are received from portions OF
Iowa and South Dakota, but generally
the crop has advanced favorably, al
though poor and weedy on lowlands
in northern Minnesota.
Oat harvest has continued under
favorable conditions and is nearing
completion in the lower Missouri and
Mississippi valleys. In the more
northerly sections the maturing crop
Is very promising.
Tobacco continues to do well in
nearly all tobacco states, the least
favorable reports being received from
North Carolina and Kentucky.
Nearly all reports indicate an abun-
dant crop of hay. which for the most
part is being secured in excellent con-
dition.
