WHAT NAPOLEON SAID IS TRUE.

Napoleon the Great made his start
as subordinate officer when the
forces Of his commander were be-
seiging city. There had been no sue
cess and things were getting desper-
ate when Napoleon went to the COM
handing officer and asked the privi-
lege of attacking a redoubt saying
that it could be taken and when
taken, in would turn the enemy's
works inside out" The redoubt was
taken and the city fell.
Similar tactics were adopted by
the democratic leaders in Congress,
when attacking the hitherto impreg-
nable fortress of protection, they
centered on the little redoubt of high
duties between this country and Can
ada. Immediately the whole pro-
| lection forces We're ordered into the
| field. Their astute leaders saw that
if that fort was taken their works
would be turned inside out. That
made their wool fortifcation indie
feasible and gave a position from
which their. cotton entertainments
could be shelled, and their steel de-
lenses assaulted.
The repeated calls of the Tariff
League for help, the wild statements
Of their senators, the declarations in
Vulnerable that their whole line is
about to give away, their intimations
that large part of their forces are
about to desert and join in the de-
mand for lower tariffs all along the
list of schedules, shows that the tao
| tics of the democratic leaders were
masterful and presage a tremendous
victory.
If on the other hand the democrat
had adopted the tactics advocated by
some, if they had demanded free
wool and prepared bills which coulc
have commanded no republicans sup
port, nothing would have been Sc
cured. Free wool will come and the
lowering of the rates in almost every
schedule in time. So let every re-
former stand by the advancing hosts
and cheer them on.-St. Joe Obser.

CROPS ARE GENERALLY GOOD.

This is the usual season for appre-
hension as to the crops. Crop scares
come more suddenly and more fire.
quently now than at any other time
of the year. Business is always more
or less nervous during the hot wealth
er and between rains. However, the
government crop report forecasts
big harvest and private advices indi-
cate an average yield in almost all
sections.
The winter wheat crop is in the
shock and is threshing out good.
Spring wheat is good everywhere ex-
cent in South Dakota. North Dakota
had her hard luck last year. but is
looking we'll this year, while Canada
is in for bumper yield. Oats and hay
everywhere are short but farmers
are already beginning to express sur
prise at what they find when they
begin cutting. Crop scares begin
with the farmer who always gets
scared during the growing season be-
cause he knows he has been hit in
times past and he has no control
over the weather. Corn is in the
making with the fairest kind of
1 promise and cotton is already made.

improvement and many mill which
has been temporarily closed is re-
suming Money is in very poor de-
mand in the centers owing to lack
of activity in volume of commerce
and is the cheapest in rates that it
has been for years. Many boom
in Pacific coast cities has been pune
tured but there vet remains the
foundation for mighty empire and
their progress can be only temporar-
lily slackened.

What Free List Means,

The democratic free list bill in
Congress simply means that the

for less money. Is not that a good

TALK STRIKE.
Disaffection on Both the B. G. O. and
Southern RAILWAYS.

With the rumOr of threatened strike
of the telegraphers of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, who have voted to allow
their delegates power to conclude adjust
ments with officials of the company. and
the threatened strike on the part of the
telegraphers of the Southern Railway
Company, officials of the railroads are
disturbed over the situation.
Representatives of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad in Washington Say they
know nothing about the threatened strike
of the telegraphers on that line, and
telegraphers of the road here say that
they are not aware of the situation. A
report from Baltimore, however. con-
firms the rumor that the telegraphers are
talking strike"
There is apprehension felt by the South
ern telegraphers, who are holding impor-
tant meetings daily. 1t is reported that
the teleeraphers throughout the south
are becoming impatient at the long delay
in the negotiations with the officials,
which have SO far reaped nothing, and
are wiring their representatives to get
busy.
That the representatives are keen1y
alert to the situation is evidenced by the
important meetings which they have been
secretly holding. They sent down word
this morning that they were too busy to
be disturbed and it is thought they Will
meet again tonight or late this afternoon.
Officials at the railroad office say that
the end is not yet in sight and that the
negotiations will continue indefinitely.

The institution of the examinership
will have the effect of placing all OF
the national banks, savings banks and
trust companies which are members of
the association under the direct super
vision of an examiner, who will be an
officer of the association. The super
vision will be somewhat similar in
character to that already exercised by
the national bank examiner for this
district who operates directly under the
controller of the currency, save that
the latter works by authority of and
under the. terms of the national bank
law. while the former will work &C
cording to the rules and regulations OF
the bankers association.
The examiner will report upon the
safety of the methods of operation of
the different institutions, and In event
of finding any matters which he be-
lieves are open to criticism. 1t will be
his duty to report to the committee
on examination. who, In turn. Will
