The Apple Crop.

A day or two since the Springfield
Register quoted the New York Com
mercial to the effect that the apple or
chards of New York and Pennsylvania
were going to yield a large crop this
year. Farmers state that there will
be d good yield from the apple or
chards in this state. and our state ex-
changes that have investigated the
condition of the orchards in their vi
entity speak favorably for the prospects
for an unusually large yield of apples.
Missouri is one of the chief apple
states of the west, and reports from
there are fiattering. An old time Mis-
souri, apple grower is quoted as saying
that he never saw the prospect for a
large crop more promising than now
There is an absence of destructive or
chard insects which he attributes to
recent light crops. The pests have
died out. The trees this year are fuller
than usual. 1t often occurs that the
apples are confined mainly to the outer
ends OF the limbs. This year the limbs
are full clear through
Now. if the trusts don't buy up the
apple crop. and put it in cold storage.
and then deal out the apples at high
prices to the customers, the people
Will luxuriate in this most healthful
AM palatable fruit at fair price.

Bryan's speech Held Great.

Not only is Mr.. Bryan recognized i'll
this country as q thinker and a great
student of public affairs, but he arrests
the attention of the old world wher-
ever he goes. as the following cable
dispatch from London to the Chicago
Record-Herald shows:
Mr. Bryan's speech today in the in
terparliamentary conference, said
Randall Cremer. NJ. p, its chief or
ganizer and winner of the Nobel peace
prize. was one OF the most impressive
and striking pleas for international ar
bitration. applied to all subjects of in
teInational disagreement. that | have
ever heard. 1t reused the conference
TO great enthusiasm, and the fact that
so representative an American public
list. on his own motion, should have OBJ
tanned the assent of the conference to
arbitration of all issues is an event
which we regard as of enormous sig
nificance. Mr. Bryan, though not 9TH
erwise qualified, according to standing
orders, for admission TO the confer
ence, was invited by the committee un-
der power given it to secure the pres
ence of a small number of distinguish
ed men.
Congressman Burton also made
telling speech. but Mr.. Bryan may car
" back with him to America the proud
consciousness that his powerful and
moving utterance has rendered solid
and enduring service TO international
peace.

delegates to this convention, and it
seems unlikely that he can be deprived
OF control by the contests of which no
tice has been given.
But all the monopoly tariff influences
of the republican organization, in state
and nation, are against him, and the
possibility of a senatorial vacancy is
more than apt TO intensity the opposi-
ton.
1t is an open secret that Governor
Cummins seeks denomination and re-
election as a stepping stone to the SEN
ate. which is the real goal of his ambi-
ton. Probably he would prefer to
make his canvas for the senate direct
at the proper time, but it is deemed a
necessary preliminary to demonstrate
himself the republican leader of Iowa
by once more winning the governor
ship.
Senator Allison's present term does
not expire until March, 1909. Even if
reports of his present illness are eXag-
gerated it seems improbable that at
his advanced age-he is now THE
would seek or win another term. 1t
appears. therefore, that the main force
of Iowa politics this year is whether
Mr.. AIlison's successor in the senate is
to be a tariff TefOrmCr.

Modest Claims often Carry the Most
Conviction.

When Maxim, the famous gun inven-
ter, placed his gun before a committee
of judges, he stated its carrying power
to be much below what he felt sure the
gun would accomplish. The result OF
the trial was therefore great surprise,
instead of disappointment. 1t is the
same with the manufacturers of Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy. They do not publicly boast
of all this remedy will accomplish, but
prefer 10 let the users make the state
ments. What they do claim. is that it
will positively cure diarrhoea, dyson
terry, pains in the stomach and bowels
and has never been known to fail. For
sale by all leading druggists.
