ON TRAIN. July 4.-From Cincinnati
westward for thousand miles
stretches the granary OF the United
States. AS far as the eye could see

appearance OF the country is much
like the James River lowgroundA. The
treeless plain has not yet appeared. So
far the gently rolling country has

abundant. and every indication points
to season OF extraordinary returns
for the farmers.
Certainly many OF virginia's farmers
think so. for Senator Early has called
the whole car to witness that certain
wheat field was worth at least fifty
bushels to the acre and was the finest
crop he had ever seen. Indeed. more

Whether these farmers consider their
political welfare to lie with the Demo-
Gratis instead OF the Republicans is an
other and more difficults question.

which have swept down the valley OF
the Kaw River, the Democrats ought
to find good campaign material In
the failure Of Speaker Cannon to al
low the forest reserve bill to become
law.
Like Pittsburg. Kansas City Is sub
ject to fearful foundations. Both cities
therefore are profoundly interested In
preventing this periodically recurrent
loss.
From conversation this mornlng with
City Star l gathered that Missouri
will almost certainly go for Mr.. Bryan.
while Kansas will as certainly so
against him.
The opinion was also strongly stated
that the Central West had not shown
any disposition to return to Mr.. Bry-
an as leader.
Some of the delegates were much
cheered by statements to the contrary

observation and comment this trip has
been chiefly remarkable for Its Inn
pressive absence of all political dis
cussion. Mr.. Bryan has some devoted
adherents among the delegation, no.
