farmers crops represented their all

bring great disaster and ruin. This

SENATOR ALOR|CH IS TO
RETIRE FROM
SENATE
Leader for PdstTWelVe Years
Feels His Power Is Gone
and viii Quit.
CONTINUOUS SERVICE
FOR THIRTY YEARS

Washington, April 9.--It Is stated
that senator Nelson w. Aldrich,
father-in-law of John d. Rockefeller
and the avowed Standard oil repre-
sentative in the Senate, will retire
from that body after thirty years
continuous service when his present
term expires i'm 1871. old age Is
given as the reason. Senator Aid
rich being close to 20 years of age.
For the past twelve years Senator
Aldrich has been the tactical leader
of the Senate ana It is stated in some
quarters that his retirement is due to
the fact that he is losing his hold on
that position The failure of his finan-
cial bill to pass as he had drawn it,
has convinced him that his power il
gone. it is said, and the way in which
hls bill was cut to pieces, amended
and generally changed, indicates 10
him the belief that his leadership is
a thing Of the past.
