able Commercial Peach.
Take the Elberta peach-it is known
to every one 1t fills the bill complete
" in size. In some places it is quite
sufficiently colored, in other places not
so well. Experience has proved,
though, that Elbertas from any region
are the commercial peach. It is a
profitable peach, if a season like the
last doesn't strike it, when the brown
rot carries off the crop. You can plant
the Elberta safely. At any rate there
is no peach that can compare with it
that is known extensively.
Chinese Type of Peach.
In selecting the commercial varieties
of peaches, get a few extra earlies.

Mamie Ross and Carman. The Alex

are forty or fifty different varieties,
very little different, a bright peach, but
a poor peach in quality. The Name
Ross, Carman, Ray and several others
of the Chinese type, combined with
other varieties, are excellent market
peaches, so long as they do not meet
their brighter competitors, but in that
season we need a class of peaches with
more color than they have. Some are
being introduced.
An Ideal In Shipping Peaches.
The Gold Drop, largely grown in

Roses For Forcing,

Hybrid perpetual roses, whether in
pots or boxes, are best left outdoors
until quite severe weather. They will
need no water except to keep them
from shriveling. Before the coming
of zero weather and heavy snow they
should be stood in cold pit, cellar or
dormant fruit house.

The general verdict is, "More curious

it is extremely valuable, because it is
one Of the best proofs we have that all

BRYAN AND HIS RIVAL.
Conservative Compared
with Hearst.
Baltimore American.

Baltimore American.
Mr.. Bryan is in eclipse. A few weeks
ago his name was on every tongue; the
headlines of newspapers glittered with it,
Mr.. Bryans doctrines were feverishly dis
cussed, and some came near to believing
that Thomas Jefferson was reincarnated
in the Nebraska orator. Rarely has there
been more marked change in so short a
time. A brief dispatch now suffices TO tell
of the great democrats doings and say
ings and 1t is doubtful IL one person out
Of ten reads that. 1t is not likely that
Mr. Bryan has fallen from grace. His
admirers are too numerous and ardent for
that. He is in eclipse. The shadow OF
the earth has fallen on the sun.
His rival is having the time of his life
He is getting in his innings with his pc
cuiar style of oratory. Rats" "croton
bugs and other choice phrases are taking
the place Of Mr.. Bryan's sonorous periods
Hearst is right down among the boys, ana
Mr. Bryan has brief respite from the
garish light. 1t must be more or less
humilating to he dropped thus suddenly
for such man. However modest Mr..
Bryan may be, ehe contrast must inevita-
bly, suggest itself, as we'll as the fckleness
of that party which Mr.. Bryan has long
led II may occur to him that the demo-
crazy is chasing an ignis fatuus. What
ever may be said of Mr.. Bryan, II cannot
be denied that he has prlnciples-tremen-
dous ones, in fact, such as IL carried out
would wreck the country-and he is al
ways perfectly frank in avowing them.
His rival is supposed TO have some prin-
ciples, the main one of which appears to
be to give everybody everything after he
has had first choice. Another of his prin-
ciples Is described by the advice to the
young lawyer: III you have no case
abuse the PLAINTIFFS attorney" For mas
sive and cumulative abuse and vitupera-
ton he has an unbounded capacity. But
Hearst is not marked for any definite po-
litical principle. he having withdrawn the
only one which had a meaning. On this
account It is reasonable to infer that he
will share the fate OF Coxey. Jack Cade
and other Adventures who have strutted
their hour on the stage. II is probable
that the shadow will pass from the DEM
ocratic sun in about a month and that
Mr.. Bryan will still shine with some lus-
ter but it cannot be pleasant to be
snuffed out by such an extinguisher, even

POLITICAL DRIFT.


1t is estimated that Bryan had talked
at 1OOO,OoS people since he met the home
folks" in New York bay
New York voters are getting vast
variety of information about Hearst that
did not appear in his own papers.
Reports from Cincinnati show that Mrs
Longwcrth Is making a much more popu-
lar campaign, in point of attendance, than
her husband.
Dick Croker's threatened libel suit
against London publishers brought the de-
sired apology. He needed an apology more
than the money.
Congressman julius Kahn. who used to
represent one of the most populous districts
in San Francisco. now finds it meagerly
populated. Two years ago the district cast
SOS votes, while at the present time there
are not more than 5000 voters. which was
Mr.. Kahn's plurality two years ago.
John G. Carlisle, secretary Of the trels
ury under President Cleveland's last ad-
minlstration, in speaking of the demo-
cratic situation in New York state and
the nomination OF Mr.. Hearst, said the
other night: whenever the democratic
party has full hand there is nothing in
the jackpot"
The state Of New York imposes tax on
special franchises, and their aggregate as
sessed valuation this year is $427 100000. an
increase Of 81, 0o0,0 900 over last year. Five
sixths OF this valuation is in New York
city. The state also specially taxes stock
transactions. 1t collects no direct state
tax from the people. though $1O1, 100000 h1s
been appropriated for canal enlargement
and 100000 for road improvement.
Mr.. Moran, the democratic candidate for
governor of Massachusetts,, declares that
mo campaign funds should be accepted
from grafters, from corporations, their
agents or attorneys. from stock brokers,
from horse racers or pool sellers from
breweries, liquor distilleries or liquor
dealers, or from any person or combina-
ton of persons likely to have a personal
interest in legislation" 1t won't take the
canvasser long to dun what's left.
The campaign in Colorado is moving
along merrily, as will be seen from an
open letter to Senator Thomas NJ Patter-
son. who is also proprietor OF the Rocky
Mountain News, by F. @. Bonfils, one of
the owners of the Denver Post The con-
troversy arose over charge that Bontis
and others attempted to get 10000 from
Simon Guggenheim to put certain men on
the Lindsay ticket. Now stand up Mr..
Patterson" Mr.. Bonfils says in conclusion,
before the people of Colorado and let
me tell you in their presence that, in maxi
ing these charges you are an infamous,
malicious and premeditated liar, scoundrel
and perjurer.'

1t is charged that in the campaign

WESTERN RAtLBoAD EXPANSION

WESTERN RAILROAD EXPANSION.
The action of the stockholders of
the Chicago & Northwestern authoriz-
ing the issuance of $1OO,00O.000 of
stock, doubling the present capital,
springs logically from industrial condi-
lions and prospects to which all the
great western transportation systems
are adjusting their policy. A year ago
the Milwaukee made similar stock
authorization, and the companies of
the Hill and Hartman groups are ac-
cumulating SURPRISES and providing
stock resources on like gigantic
scale. The Northwestern, with its net
work in the states west of Chicago,
now has lines extending across Ne
braska far into the mountain region.
and, like it's competitors, is simply
getting into position to meet the rap
idly expanding needs of traffic and to
protect its interests in the future.
Such vast preparations accurately
reflect the conception which has been
formed in the minds of the ablest men
Of affairs concerning the development
of the west. Twenty years ago, in
their deliberate judgment, railroad
construction in the Transmississippi
region had exceeded its transportation
needs and a halt was called by com
pact among them. How completely the
situation has been reversed is wit
messed by Mr.. Harriman's prediction
over a year ago that we were about
to enter upon an era of competitive
unprecedented railroad construction in
the west, by the numerous extensions
in the meantime and by the still
greater preparations now being made
for the future.
At the same time that a point has
been reached at which the prospective
development of western resources thus
compels competitive effort on the part
of the great western roads to be fore
handed in the field, enormous profits
for a series of years last past have
also intensified their eagerness. The
unprecedented dividends which one
after another is declaring this fall
still leave vast net surplus available
for betterments and extensions, and
on top Of that so impresses the invest
ment world as to make market for
immense stock authorizations like
those of the Northwestern and the
Milwaukee.
There could be no more trustworthy
support of confidence on the part of
all whose interests are bound up with
the agricultural and mineral empire
for which such expansion of transpor-
tation facilities is required. They inn
ply a continued, permanent, universal
growth of special import and hope for
Omaha and Nebraska because of their
specially intimate relation to western
development.

RAILROADS AND GRAIN ELEVATORS.
Revelations Brought Ont by the In
quiry Ordered by Congress.
Chicago Record-Herald.

Chicago Record-Herald.
When Senator LaFollette declared in
his speech in support OF his resolution for
a thorough inquiry into the grain elevator
business that such an investigation would
disclose evils and abuses that would stir
and astonish the country as the revelations
in regard to the relations between coal
mining and coal carrying in Pennsylvania
and West Virginia had done. few men
either in or outside OF congress were
greatly impressed with the prediction. The
resolution was adopted on general princl-
pies" because congress was in pub
lefty mood and saw no harm in the
proposal.
The resolution in substance directs the
commerce commission to inquire into the
elevator and grain buying and forwarding
business, and to ascertain to what extent
II any, special favors have been granted to
elevator firms by carriers, and what influ-
ence such fayors as have been granted
have had in the direction OF fostering
monopoly and preventing equality OF op-
portunity and fair dealing. II further d.
reefs the commission to ascertain wheth-I
or not railroads, directly or through Off
GERS and employees and stockholders, ow
and control elevators and the business n
grain buying and forwarding.
The commission has already devoted
number of sittngs to this subject, but it
appears that as yet It has hardly touched
its fringe. Whether OF not the disclosure
so far secured at the hearings have stag
gered humanity IT is not necessary to de
termine: that the testimony has been eX-
tremely suggestive, strange and interest
ing will be generally admitted.
1t has shown collision between carrier
and elevator companies. 1t has shown
that the former have been in the habit o.
entering into extraordinarily generous con
tracts with real or pretended owners &
elevators. 1t has shown that discTinlH
ton and favoritism have been practced b.
the railroad companies. that some bo'co,
ting has been carried on, and that az r,
suit owners OF small elevators and SINAI
grain buyers have been ruined and force
out Of business.
Some of the sample contracts produce
at the hearings were so ludcrously one
sided, so apparently unfavorable 20 tn
carriers that the unsophistioated observe
cannot understand the benevolence or sir
plicity that is supposed 10 account 70
them, and is prone 10 suspect an improptr
community OF interest between the raj
roads and the elevators along their lines.
In due time the commission will sur
recommendations TO congress. Withou
anticipating these. IL Is proper to say thr
the LaFollette resolution Is already abun
dainty justified. Light on the whole bus
ness is sedly needed
