FRIDAY, AUGUST 27, 1897. No. dearlv beloved Era, it is not coming- out as populists predicted by about seven hundred million metres. Last fall they told us an ounce of silver would always pay for a bushel of wheat, and that the farmers need not expect better prices until we had free coinage of silver at a ratio of sixteen to one It is not easy, therefore, to imagine their charrin when two ounces of 0 silver will scarcely pay for a bushel of wheat, and the end is not yet. Republicans said the demand for a commodity regulated the price, but the populists scoffed at the ideas advanced. Now, however, with the assurance possessed only oy a populist, a few of these fellows say the advances in the price of wheat is caused by a scarcity in the old world, while a majority of them still cling to the idea that Mark Hanua is responsible for present improved conditions to the farmers W. Jennings Bryan said in one of his speeches that if we had the free coinage of silver Europeans would rush over here to purchase our surplus, leaving his hearers to draw the inference that they would buy it whether it was or was not needed. Now the Era says they buy it on account of the scarcity in the old world. It has at length penetrated Mr. Cheney's ponderous cranium that they buy of us only what they need and only after the suoolv ot other countries, which is A. A. sold cheaper, is exhausted. Mr. Bryan will find.among other things, says the City of Mexico Two Republics, that there is the same disparity between Mexican "old and Mexican silver as there is o between Mexican silver and foreign gold. In other words, he will find that free coinage oi silver in this country has not established a ratio of 16 to 1, and that gold and silver are not on a parity. He will find this if he finds gold at all. He will find that a dollar is a dollar here, but it is not a dollar when it gets into those foreign markets from which the Mexican merchant buys his goods, and, at this writing, it is not a half dollar. He will not find that silver bullion has increased in price to $1.29 per ounce, and he will not find a man in the republic who will not give his two silver dollars for one gold dollar, or one paper dollar with Uncle Sam's trade mark blown upon it. A report comes from St. Peters burg to the effect that the Czar of Russia is thinking seriously of pro hibiting the exportation of wheat. That is a great country for this grain and for rye. The common people live almost entirely on-the latter. The farmers in southern Russia usually have vast quantities of wheat to export, but the crop was light this year, very, and the Czar may conclude that the inter est of his own subjects requires the retention of the crop. If so, that will materially enharce the price of American wheat, but for that especial reason the rumor is of doubtful reliability. It may have been set afloat to still further boom the market.--Inter Ocean. Tue other day a "rara avis" of the pop species said he was willing to admit that there was a little flurry in business circles and that times were temproarily improving; but, said he, it is entirely the fault of Mark Hanna, that arch conspirator, "who has 'conspired to ruin the populist party by so man ipulating the grain markets of the world that the farmers are able to get SO cents a bushel for their wheat. Oh! Mark! Mark!! what heinous sins are laid at thy door. On Monday last twenty-three cotton mills in Massachuetts re sumed operations, the Union iron and steel company at Youngstown. Ohio, resumed alter four 3Tears of idleness, two tin plate mills at Cleveland opened their, works, and at Joliet the barb wire works, the horse-shoe mills and the Fox steel company kindled their fires. These industries give employment to thousands of workmen, and for one day's record it is a good one. In sympathy with the advance in wheat flour is tending upward in price which should be a solace to the troubled soul of the pop" who last fall was forever crying that all commodities were too low in price. It is dollars to dough-nuts that thesesame -disturbers of the body politic will be the first tothrow out their pedal extrejaittes with a recalcitrant movement at tlus,,jid xance in flour. WIKS THE FUTUEITT. THOMPSON'S COLT COMES IN AHEAD OF THE FIELD. IAlouctte 1-nnls the Itir!i Static hy Gool Jnfftli Kace la Run a Heavy anil .Sticky Track Previous, With Sims Up, Was 3lt at the VoU New York, Aug. 26. Tuo unex pected happened at Shecpshesd Bay vesterdaraud the filly L'Alcette of the Thompson string won the futurity with somethimr to spare. Her backers were happy, for although her victory was a surprise, she was coupled in the betting with her stable mates Gibraltar and The Hnegenot, and as the stable was the favorite for the race, the ring suffered. The other rincspeekd thing was the running of Lydian, who got the place. The track was heavy- It was a fine start for all but Previous. who was left standing still at the first break, to the great surprise of his owner and most of the older race goers. Grand Sachem' and Amazonia were nuickest on their feet, with Uriel and Cock Robin close up. L'Alouette was next and the others not far array. At the Quarter pole the line cf advancing rac- crs w;is almost T-kc a cavalry charge. Lydian, who had come up from the rear under the vigorous urging of Thorpe, and with Sloano one head be hind, was making a bold bid for tho stake. The distance was a little too short, however, and as L'Alouette passed the wire Lydian was at her tail, a head in frout of Uriel, who was a head in front of Plaudit, while tho, others were strung out through a sixteenth of a mile. COAL OPERATORS CHANGE FRONT Internal Dissensions With Fear on Fart of. Some, Causes a Split. Pittsburg, Aug. 2G. The coal oper ators of tin Pittsburg district have mede a decided change in front. In ternal dissensions, mixed with fear on the part of some, caused a split in the forces and a change of base. On its face the move looked to many like a temporary surrender to th United Mine "Workers of America. This, how ever, is denied in the most emphatic terms by the most prominent hike ship pers, who say they are going to start their mines and supply the demand from the northwest and not stand idly by and let a largo, volume of business go to the operators of other states. They publicly state that they are willing to wait for a week or 10 days kefore a de cided move is made. They claim that this will give them simple liir.e to get the lake trade. Some of tho operators in the meeting were frank enough to state that the situation at il's present time in all branches of labor is critical and that they have no desire to make am move that would cast oun.m on the operators of the Pittsburg di-Tit. It was under these conditions that the operators went into sess'.m yester day morning. There were many who had not signed the agreement to share their portion toward the crpea-o that might accrue in the ofibvt to sart the mines and they were the londe in the appeals to hold aloof and awut devel opments. It was propped t h:it notices be printed in various lan;rivig embrac ing briefly the position of the tmniutors, and also a final notice to the miners that the mines were ready to be optvaied as soon as the men expressed a do-ire to go to work. This proposal was baraly en tertained and voted down, shewing that many of tho operators h id receded from the stand they Irid taken. A mo tion to discharge all commit toes and ad journ sine die was made and prevailed. Western Miner.; May Strike. Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 2:5. T. B. McGregor, the Kansas official of the nuncrs' national association, w 's in tho city and held an all-day conference "with B. T. Hughes of Illinois and II. Jones of Virginia, who arc in the west doing missionary work among tho miners They declined to say exactly what their conference was held for. shying that future developments might show. The Jonrnal says of the conference: "They do not expect a strike in the west at present. Whatever steps may be taken by tho miners will he all pre paratory to the great labor ouference at St. Louis on tho ECth. It is no secret that they believe the conferenco will decide on a general western strike. They claim that when the strike in the west does come, if it ever comes, it will not be so much pf a sympathetic strike as some are of tho opinion. Barney Hughes of Illinois, who is n .miner, said that the miners of the west would strike to redress their own grievances and cure their own ills, and that it would not and could not be properly con sidered a sympathetic strike." Judge Terliune Blames Operator.-. Lebanon, Ind., Aug. 25. Judge Thomas J. Terlmne, the commissioner appointed by Governor Mount to inves- the condition and grievances of the striking coal miners of this state, says that 8,000 families in the Indiana min ing districts are completely destitute and nnless relief is afforded I Lc result will be beyond imagination. Hundreds of men, Judge Terhunu said, had not had a dollar in money for months. The speaker declared the operators are to blame,- and said that the sooner they are forced to adjust the price of coal so as to enable them to pay reasonable wages to the- employes the sooner the miners' troubles will end. Austin Wins the Cup. Omaha, Aug. 20. The thuds in the singles in the interstate tournament were played yesterday on the Omaha club courts, and the trophy wili remain in thin city.

The first na tional convention of the American party, a new political organization, which, as the call issued from Detroit says, will be devoted to the restoration of the spirit and sentiment of the orig inal federal constitution, met yesterday in Druids hall -with about 50 delegates present from nine states and one terri tory. The call has been extended to all loyal, American, nonpartisan, thinking men of the nation, upon a platform in corporating the principles of the truo American form of government." Tho states represented .are: New York, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Colorado, Louisiana and In dian Territory. It is stated that a number of other states have signified their willingness to co-operate in the movement. Two sessions were held and a permanent or ganization was effected, with Ellison Stocker of Colorado as chairman and J. J. Sasselbache of Detroit as secretary. After the appointment of committees on resolutions and representation, ad journment was taken for the day. Colonel E. H. Sellers, a prendre it lawyer of Detroit, who is at the head of the movement, called the convention to order at 10 a. m. He read the call and empliatically denied the statement in a dispatch from "Washington that this is a movement to fomi the American Pro tective association into a political party. Colonel Sellers was made chairman of the committee on resolutions, with the other members as follows : H. W. Traynor,Detroit ; J. A. Phelps, New York ; W. C. Hcldcn, Illinois ; G. H. Little, Cleveland ; Judge Clifford, Kansas City ; J. "W. Ellis, Indian Terri tory ; A. J. Campau of Detroit. A lengthy address was delivered by Colonel Sellers, in which he said that the two principal parties are false to the doctrine and principles of equality and are a standing menace to popular gov ernment. He gave at length his views of needed reforms. Among other things he favored the initiative and referendum in the formation of our laws ; equal suffrage ; the abolishment of the primary system and changes in our registration and balloting systems ; separation of state and church ; recogni tion of labor as the source of wealth ; protection of wage earners from compe tition with alien labor ; prohibition of alien ownership of laud ; extension of civil service system ; principles of Mon roe doctrine and condemned trusts and combines. Salvador Adopts Cold Standard. New York, Aug. 20. A elispatch from Panama says : Salvador has been forced by the slmnp in silver to adopt a gold Standard. Owing to the finan cial straits in which Salvador found herself President Guitorrcz convoked an extraordinary session of congress to con sider the monetary crisis. At the time he sent to congress a message urging the necessity of a speedy change in the currency system there was some opposi tion in congress to a gold standard, and the fight wr s waged until yesterday, when the. bill passed. The president was also authorized to negotiate a for eign loan for 2,500,000. The new loan will go into effect -within two mouths After it becomes operative all customs will be payable only in gold. Salvador's prasent plight is duo to the slump in silver, which threw the country into a condition more scrioua than had ever before exist od. The rate of exchange on the United States rose steadily until it reached 200 per cent. EXCURSION TRAIN WRECKED. Two Score Person Injured, Vive of Them Fatally. Lima, O., Aug. 20.

Pmaiia, Aug. 24. Reports received from different p::rts of the state show that it is reasonably certain that the priijcip d crops qf Nebr isk i farms for 1SHG wjll be : Yheat, a,C00,0C0 bushels ; corn, ijUU.iHJij.uuy unsiiei; oats, no-, (300,000 bushels, ryp, 2,000.CC0 bushels; hay 5,000,000 tons. The aggregate niai'ket yalno of this tremendous yield, calculated t I ho prices for which tho commodities actually sold in open mar ket on Saturday, Aug. H, 1S07, is .!)3-, 869,500. If this crop had been marketed on Saturday, Aug. 13, 1806, it would havo sold for only. $77,0:31,000, a gain for tho Nebraska farmer in one year of 1 8,8oS,- 500. As the prices in Nebraska are mostly made by the Chicago prices, it is fair to assume that the advance in thi state has been nejirly, if not quite, as much as in Chicago in the price of grain recently. If this is true the wheat of Nebraska today is worth 18,974,000, a gain jn value pf $270,000 during the "week. ' .Con, lips gained $2,250,000, and fhe crop is now worth .?uS.(aO,poo.

PRESIDENT M'KIN LEY LEADS THEG. A. R. PARADE. An Ideal Day For the Marchers Nuuicr. ons lieceptions Held liy Different Or ganizations Califomlans Are Rooming San Francisco For Next Encampment. Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 26. Forty-five thousand men yesterday marched through streets glorious in flags and bunting, receiving the ovation of a half million people. The president of the Union he fought to save was at their head. When the line of the Grand Army procession moved at 10 :30 in the morning the sky had not a cloud. The rain storm of the night had left a clear bracing air that was like a tonic to the marching men. Tho procession moved for 0 hours and 62 minutes. Along the route of march 100 giris dressed in the colors of tho flag scattered flowers in the path of the soldiers. President McKinley rode in a carriago at the head of the procession and waved his hat at the cheering crowd. At the reviewing stand he took his position with Commander-in-chief Clarkson and Governor Black and the headquarter's staff passed in review. Of all the throng viewing the proces sion no one person was more enthusias tic or more affected by the sight than President McKinley. "With his hand on his hat, continually uncovering to the national colors or the salutes of the veterans, the president watched the ar ray of proud veteran march by. It was certainly a column to inspire ad miration. The closing event of the evening was a reception to the president at Music hall. Other events were a reception by Mrs. Catherine F. Hurst, president of the Ladies of the G. A. R., at the Iroquois hotel; a reception by Mrs. F. C. "Woodley, national president of the Army Nurses, at the "Woman's union, and numerous receptions by minor or ganizations. Arhbishop Ireland Mustered In. Archbishop Ireland was mustered into the Grand Army of the Republic hist night. He h.:s been popularly con-. sidered as a member of the Grand Army, but it was not until yesterday that he really became a comrade. He has been an ex-member of the Loyal Legion for many years. Past Commander-in-Chief Kountz se cured a dispensation from Conunnuder-in-Chief Clarkson authorizing Past Commander-in-Chief Lawler to muster the archbishop into the G. A. R. The ceremony took place in the rooms of Lafayette post of Now York at the Hotel Iriquois. Archbishop Ireland ex pressed his pride at being received into the order. The cfiicial button was presenter to the archbishop by Corporal Tanner. Congratulatory addresses were made by General O. O. Howard, Past Com mander Lawler and others. Califoniiaus are booming San Fran cisco as the place for holding the next encampment, or that of 1S99. Should Cincinnati get tho encampment for '98, and everything now points that way, the Californians feel that they can cap ture it for the extreme west for '99. There is a possibility of the encamp ment being given them this year, as Cincinnati has no other opponent in the field, and the fight for place and the coinmander-in-chiefship ma- lose tho fight for the former to the Buckeye State. LAWYERS MEET AT CLEVELAND. Aiuiiml Convention of the American liar Association. Clkvelaxd, Aug. 26.-T-Tho American Bar association was called to order at Association hall this morr-ing with an attendance of nearly 300 delegates. President J. M. Woolwqrth of Omaha delivered an address to the association, which was listened to with marked at tention. Among other things President "Wool worth said: A review of the legis lation of the past year reveals that a very large proportion of the statutes en acted relate to the police power, and while an increase in this direction is in evitable as society becomes more highly organized is has seemed to outran neces sity. Tho disposition has been mani fest to aid one class of citizens or one class of interests at tho expense of others and to intrude into the affairs of indi viduals.

The Press says : "Word has been received at this port that the Russian government is meditating the promulgation of a de cree prohibiting the export of wheat, owing to the small crops in southern Russia and this report is causing some uneasiness to those interested. The ef fect of tins contemplated action will be to create a strong demand for wheat tonnage in the Black sea region, so as much grain as is .possible may be shipped bofore the prohibition takes ef fect. This in itself would be calculated to force up freights on vessels loading here. A well known shipping man in this city said that this contemplated action of the Russian government makes it an almost settled fact that Europe must look to the United States alone to fill her orders for cereals. Just what in crease of business this means for Phila delphia, New York and Bill timore alone is incalculable. The exports of grain from Philadel phia, which are already the largest on record, will reach figures in excess of what has been the most sanguine expectation of shippers. "Within the next few weeks cargoes of grain will be sliipped from here to ports in tho Adriatic seas to St. Louis Du Rhone, Marseilles and Alexandria, Egypt. This in itself serves to confirm tho rumored prohibitory export law on the Russian government, or unless something of the kind is contemplated, it would be au unusual action to make such imports from ports at such a distance. Among the fixtures made for Medi terranean ports may be mentioned the British steamship Pioton, which loads either hero or at Baltimore, 14,000 quarters of grain for Cork for orders at two shillings and six pence, with option of Marseilles or St. Louis Du Rhone at four shillings, and the steam ship Ruysdale 12,000 quarters for Cork, for orders at Us 4 pence, and Adriatic 4 shillings 4h pence. AS PRESIDENT M'KINLEY SEES IT. Chief Executive of the Nation Says Pros perity Is Here to Stay. New York, Aug. 24. A dispatch from Hotel Champlaiu says : President McKinley stated that it would be a source of pleasure to every American citizen to know that there was a re turn of prosperity to the country. "The cause of the present boom in the west," hosaid, "is undoubtedly due in a large measuro to the large crops and high prices caused by the failure of crops in other countries. But the fact that prosperity has set in in tho cast cannot be accounted for in any other way than by the wie policy of the Republican party in restoring a protec tive tariff. Tho present boom is not spasmodic, but will continue to increase and not oulv the manufacturers, but the people generally will soon realize that it is only with a protective tariff and sound financial principles that the country will be prosperous and remain in that condition. With the restora tion of confidence, will come a restora tion of prosperity." Review of the ?.rark Lane Kxpress. Loxdox, Aug. 24. The Mark Lane Express, in its weekly review says: TheAvlieat harvest is about' half over and the reports continue to be fairly favorable in spite of interruptions of many heavy showers and the gpnora delay in carrying the wheat already harvested. The latest advices frnih France, Austria-Hungary, Russia and Roumania are all more or less unfavor able. South Omaliii Live Stock, South Omaha, Aug. 25.
