This is a warning to several North Platte church mem bers who have just begun riding a Wjheel. It is reported that President Cleveland said the other day, It takes idleness to produce agita tion." For once we commend the wisdom of the president. Some 500,000 people have been made idle because of the peculiar doctrines which he and his friends advocate. When that idleness is enforced un til the idlers have nothing . in their stomachs, there is a tremendous. agitatioa, aaditas a. wonder, to us, that umder the pressure of the last two years there has ao armed revo lution been inaugurated. Salt Lake Tribune. ' Ships from Europe are reaching American ports loaded down, and the indications are that they, will have to take half load or go back in ballast. American manufacturers have got to cut wages to meet European prices or close their works. It is reported in the eastern journal that the White Granite and Semi-Porcelain Ware Manufactur ers1 Association has decided to cut prices to the English level in order to meet competition under the new tariff. This will involve running the works at a loss, but the manu facturers think they can afford to stand that rather than lose their market, until the tariff has again been revised on protective lines.. Ex. Grasshoppers are reported. abroad in the land. They came in a cloud to Elkhart, Ind., the other day and ate every thing in sight that was green and juicy and later they are reported in Oklahoma... This is not supposed to be a grass hopper year in the west, as it is not a dry season, but the weather-wise may as well keep an eye out for snow-like clouds in the brigbt sun? shine. The regular locust of the northwest does not come so early in the summer and these raids must have been made by local colonies.. If so, they will not be very formid able, though they may do consider able damage in spots. The grass hopper born and reared in southern latitudes, that is in the lower forties or lower, are a weakly gen? eration and can make no very ex tensive flight. Journal, The Nebraska weather-crop re pert for the week, ending Tuesday, last is as follows: The week has, been a remarkably favorably one for the.growth of all crops except corn, which has not made as rapid growth -as other crops on account ofr cool weather. The temperature has been about normal in tke eastern, portion of tncstsja3klitt"ls be low in the western. Good rains have fallen everywhere averaging for the state as a whole not far from normal. Wheat and oats have continued to make vigorous growth. They are generally heading and the straw will be longer and the yield larger than expected a week ago, promising in many cases a full crop, and in some localities more than an average crop. Corn is growing fairly well but in many cases is considerably weedy. It has been cultivated one or twice and in a few cases is about ready to be laid by. Potatoes are doing exceedingly well and some are. already being dug for the market. Grass in the meadows and on the range con tinues to grow vigorously. lands, and a heavy decrease in the general wealth of the country. In the south, where iron ore is so abundant, tnese tacts, wmcn con cern the whole country, should meet with special consideration, The addition of 2,545,315 gross tons to the iron smelted in the south in 1894 would nave made places blossom into prosperity where gaunt pov erty prevailed, and American work men, able, honest and industrious, sought employment in vain. PASSENGER" WBECK ON THE KA1T. The much talked of scarcity of gold is growing less apparent. In 1891 the world's product of gold, ac cording to Mr. Preston, the director of the United States mint, was $120,000,000 in round figures. In 1893 it had increased to $155,500,000 and in 1894 to 172,000,000, Here we have an increase of almost 50 per cent in three years. The gold out put this year promises to exceed all records. In Colorado and other western states the energies which pnee went tosilver mining are now turned to'golHSmhj That is a sensible way to dofnRsiness. When wheat growing ceased' to be profit able in Iowa farmers planted more corn and fenced in more pasture. They didn't ask the government to pay a fictitious price for wheat. When there are more potatoes than stomachs, potatoes become cheap and farmers turn their attention to growing other crops until there is the promise of better prices. All things should be done on this com mon sense business basis. If they were we would escape a great deal of trouble and worry and agitation, and Qen. Weaver and Mr. "Coin" would have to go to raising corn and hogs . for themselves. Seward Blade. i Several The Iron Industry. The statistics of iron production tell a sad story of the damage in flicted on home industry by the free-trade agitation that attended the election of President Cleveland and a free-trade tariff congress in 1892, and culminated in the passing of the Gorman bill in 1894. In 1890 the United States pro duced 9,202,703 gross tons of pig iron. In 1894 the production fell to 6,65.7,388 gross tons. Under protection the production of pig iron had' increased with steady strides until it attained the high figure named "in 1890, benefit ing the Whole country, south as well as north. All this was in ac cordance with-the general develop ment of our inSuiitftes under which progress was the normal condition. Hence it might have been expected that the production of pijr on would have gone on satisfactorily and tkat it would have passed the 10,000,000 tons mark by this time. Instead, the figures quoted show that our furnaces produced 2,545, 315 gross tons less in 1894 than they did in 1890. What did this shrinkage mean? Jt meant less wages for the work men; less -mpney for the shopkeeper and farmer; less demand for iron pre and coal. It ineant less divi dends for the capital invested; smaller inducements to develop iron r Persons Injured, One of Them Probably Fatally. Houston, Tex., June 20. Tne north bound flyer of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas was wrecked 10 miles north of here last night.

A destructive forest fire has been raging at Pigeon Lick. Four rigs and 1,500 cords of wood owned by Bartley & Schaulis, 800 cords of woods owned by J. H. Grean, 200 cords belonging to J. T. Lennox and two rigs owned by B. 3. Sfearight & Co. have been destroyed. The fire is now in a-tract of 430 acres of timber lately purchased from C. P. Bryon by Bartley & Sohaulis and is working to ward their wells. The Droney Lumber company has a large force of men fight ing the fire and preventing it from burn ing 8,000 cords of bark. Italians Want Protection. JfBCENlX, June A telegram was sent by the city council at Denver to General Hughes asking him to protect the Italian laborers in the Congress mine, 80 miles north of Phoenix, also that he had telegraphed Secretary Olney the situation and asked his interference to protect their lives. Later a telegram from Secretary Olney arrived saying: "Protect the Italian miners in Congress mine." N. O. Murphy, delegate to con gress, telegraphed immediately to Con gress and received the reply: "No tronble here, but few Italians employed. ' ' Killed by the Alexican Servant. Jiminez, Mex.f June 20. 3P.W.

MAKING SLOW PK0GRESS, General XTcMpIa In the Xead Tor the Presidency of the Organization Warner Miller Urses That Tariff Be Pushed to the Trent. FTByrns, ffie silver candidate from Denver, it created such a stir that the motion was withdrawn, but notice was given that it would be renewed. As. the committee on resolution was not ready to report, an opportunit j waa given all to offer'resolutions.which were referred without debate. Kesolutiona poured in on the Cuban insurgents, Ha waiian republic, the Armenians and all other foreign subjects, and the silver men and the antisilver men continued for some time alternating in offering resolutions that did not materially differ from those that had been previously piled upon the secretary's table by rep resentatives of their respective factions. Chairman Bobinson, from the com mittee on resolutions, came to the hall and reported that the committee had worked all night and again today and had hoped to be able to report tomorrow morning, one if all tnose resolutions were to be considered the committee could not report before next week. A motiou to rescind the rule of the read ing of resolutions in the convention was l03t. Shortly after 1 p. m. a recess waa taken until 2 p. m. Cleveland, June 20. The second day's session of the national convention of Kepublican clubs opened with every prospect of harmony notwithstanding the contest for three days between those tsearing the yellow and those wearing the white badges. The only differences were on the silver question. On the tariff and every other question the dele gates were united in standing by the antecedents of the party. The boom for General McAlpin for president seemed to be so general that there was no scramble oven for the offices. The point was then made in the early hours of the morning that it would be good politics to avoid a collision on the only point in dispute. This was impossible with the usual declaration of principles by resolutions, because no one could draw a resolution that would satisfy both tho eastern and the western dele gates. It was proposed to go further than Thurston's resolution and adopt only an address which would sot. forth that the league is an auxiliary and not a primary organization, and therefore it would be best to await the action of the Republican national convention of 1806 and not to anticipate it. All efforts among the leaders and delegates as well as among the committeemen were today directed toward this plan with a view to preventing such a fight in the conven tion as there was in the committee on resolutions last night. It was expected that the silver men would show their strength in running Colonel Trumbo for president and again in pressing a minority report on silver, but these two interesting numbers on the program j were both declared off on a draw today, j rm :i 1,n.nrn J tuV I ""T- : rigorously opposed this resolution, hold to absorb all others as it has done all . f. , . , t week. On this question the states had Returned Its Session. Cleveland, June 20. It was after 2 a. m. when the subcommittee on resolu tions of the league, which had been in secret session at the Hollenden, ad journed. Mr. Blackwell of Massachu setts presented a resolution inclining very strongly toward the gold standard, and numerous other resolutions express ing all sorts of views on tho money question followed in quiox succession Senator Dubois of Idaho and Mr. Allen of Utah fought like tigers for free coinage, making vigorous speeches, which were listened to with close at tention. They spoke for free coinage at 16 to 1 without waiting for the co-operation of any other nations. As the discussion pro gressed a tondency became manifest to dodge tho entire question by declining to adopt resolutions of any kind. A resolution was offered, declaring that it is not the duty of the league to adopt a platform for the Republican party, as that important action should be left to the national convention which nomi nates presidential and vice presidential candidates. Messrs. Dubois aud Allen in their delegation meetings decided to act as a unit, and the silver men realized that their scattering minorities were throttled. They also charged that the organization of tne convention, especi ally in the committee on resolutions, was against them, and that there was a disposition to railroad the old Minneap olis platform through without giving them a fair hearing. For three days the yellow and whito badges, repre senting the two factions, had been flut tering from contending breasts. Today there was expected to be a showing of hands from the start. As most of the members of the committee on resolu tions had been previously instructed by their respective delegations it was neces sary for them to confer with their col leagues today on the proposed address, and this revived the agitation by states. These conferences also delayed the as sembling of he convention, which was to have been together at 10 o'clock, and was delayed over one hcur. Address by TVarsw Mfllsr. "When General Tracy ea3ed the con vention to order at 11 oclock, the first done was the appointoent of Senator elect Thurston of Nebraska, H. Clay Evans of Tennessee, ex-Governor Prince of New Mexico, Messrs. Goodnow of Minnesota and Buck of Georgia to wait on ex-Senator Warner Miller of New York and invite him to address the con vention. "While these gentlemen re tired to escort Mr. Miller to the hall, the committee on credentials reported in favor of Sitting both delegations from South Carolina. This was adopted. On the report of the committee, the rules of the Heed house and the Denver conven tion were adopted. Warner Miller then addressed the convention and argued forcibly ag'ainat the tariff being taken out of politics. Tleod. ef Besoletloas. A risinc vote of thanks was given ex Senator 3Killer. General Sampson of ArkasMS moved to amend the rules so that ths election of a secretary be re ferred to the executive committee. As ing that it was the duty of the league .to declare its principles. The gold men spoke in favor of the resolution and the vote was 9 to 2 in its favor. The subcommittee resumed its session early after breakfast. The proposition of the antifree coinage men was modi fied into an address that would prevent the silver men from preparing and offer ing a minority report. Senator Dubois and Mr. Allen had to be satisfied to prevent two reports going to the full committee. The subcommittee apt pointed Mr. Robinson of New York, Senator Dubois of Idaho, Mr. Harkness of Missouri a committee to revise ths address. The revision committee re ported to tho subcommittee at 10 a. m., and tho discussion on the silver issue was resumed. The subcommittee, how ever, announced that it would report to the full committee at 2 p. m., when it was thought that all differences will be adjusted in the committee room so as to prevent two reports being made to the convention and any fight being precipi tated on the floor. aCoKlnley- at Ottawa.
