Regarding the Nebraska exhibits
that were displayed by the H. & M. at
a number of county fairs in Illinois and
Indiana this fall, the Corn Kelt of Chi

sue: “Nebraska has been in much and
gratifying evidence throughout the
central states this season. Her mag
nificent exhibits of agricultural pro
ducts have adorned many of the coun
ty fairs of Illinois and Indiana. They
were the admiration of good farmers
who were to." the first time in their
lives, perhaps, forced to realize that,
though proud of their own state, they
have to admit that it has a young but
eminently successful rival in Nebraska.
There is hardly, if anything, grown in |
these states that cannot be as success
fully raised iu Nebraska, and more be
sides."

sugar association, which will be held

ought to have delegates from every
community in the state interested in
the rapid development of this impor
tant industry. The experimental pe
riod is past and it has been clearly
demonstrated that the soil and climate
of Nebraska are as suitable for the pr.>
duction of sugar beets as any territory

EX-SPEAKER CRISP DIES FROM
HEART DISEASE. *v
Twice Prenidlng Officer of the KntMnal
House of Representatives, and Long a
Leader of the Democratic Party—
Would Have Been Elected Senator
from Georgia Had He Lived. , /
Death of Ex-Speaker Crisp.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 24.—Charles F.
Crisp, the ex-Speaker of the House of
Representatives, (lied here this after*
noon very suddenly and unexpectedly,
lie had long been troubled with heart
disease, but had not recently been in
bad health.
’ Charles Frederick Crisp was born in
Sheffield, England, January' 2tt, 1843,
while his parents were on a theatrical
trip abroad, both being actors. He ob
tained his education in the Georgia
public schools and served in the Con*
federate army from tee outbreak of the
rebellion till he was made a prisoner of
war in 18841 At the close of the war
he studied law and was admitted to the
bar in 1860, and in 1872 was appointed
solicitor general of the Southwestern
judicial district of Georgia. In 1877 he
was appointed judge of the superior
court, which position he filled for sev
eral years. In 1882 he resigned to go
to Congress.
The principal work done by Mr.
Crisp during his first tet‘m in Congress,
which went for nothing at the time,
was to apply himself most diligently
to acquiring an extended knowledge of
the business of the House.
At the opening of the Forty-ninth
Congress Mr. Crisp was assigned to
the second place on the committee on
Pacific railroads and to the third place
on the committee on commerce. His'
capacity for hard work may be judged
from the fact that lie • made during
this Congress forty-six reports from
the commerce committee, three from
the Pacific railroads committee and
five conference reports. The most im- •
portant of these >vas the conference
report on the interstate commerce bill,
which finally became a law.
Mr. Crisp was chosen Speaker of the
Fifty-second Congress after such a long
and rather animated contest with as
pirants of his own party in caucus that
the election was not made until after
the House's session began. When the
Fifty-third Congress convened he wus
re-elected without opposition. Mr.
Crisp was as cool and collected as Mr.
Reed. Generally he spoke in a low
tone save when in a hurst of eloquence
he drew a peroration. When the
Speaker ruled against him he would, if
an urguing chance existed, differ with
the Speaker, and appeal from the de
cision of the chuir. IIis points of order
he made clearly and forcibly, but
calmly. He did not storm at the
Speaker, lie did not raise his voice in
anger. Rut with all his nerves well in
hand, he would wait until the hubbub
subsided and the crowd around him,
resentful of the arbitrary rulings of
the Speaker, had quieted down, anil
then, like a judge charging a jury and
equally unimpassioned, he would make
his point. Mr. Reed often sought £o
taunt Mr. Crisp into anger, but the sar
casm of the Maine man, which had
proved too much for so many other
Democrats, produced no appreciable'
effect on the Georgian.
Mr. Crisp's death was not altogether
a surprise in political circles, for he
had had several spells of illness in
Washington. He suffered from
asthma, and later from heart trouble.
His ill health, however, did not become
a matter of public notoriety until last
spring, when he was compelled to
abandon a series of joint debates ar
ranged with ex-Secretary Hoke Smith
because of the advice of his physician
that it would imperil his life for him
to continue the debate, which had at
tracted state as well as national inter
est, by reason of the fact that it in
volved the position of the Democratic
party of the state on the silver ques
tion, as well as the senatorship from
Georgia, for which the ex-speakcr was
an active candidate. The silver men
won their tight, and Mr. Crisp, had lie
lived, would have been the’nextsen
ator from Georgia. < i '
JONES FOR CONCESSION,
»1« AtlvUti Giving: Away to Georgia Pop
ulists,
Atlanta. (la.. Got. 2*.—It is learned
hciv on what is 'believed to be unim
peachable authority that fusion was
agreed on at Chicago yesterday be
tween Senator Jones and I’opulist Com
mitteeman Wushburne, and as a result
Washbuvne left Chicago for Nashville
and H. W. Heed left Atlanta last night
for the same place, where they will
meet Mr. Watson.
Senator Jones wired his representa
tive here in substunee as follows: "We
must accede to the demands of the Pop
ulists for fusion in Georgia."
The reply was: “The Populists of
Georgia don't want fusion; they de
mand a surrender."
To this Senator Jones responded:
‘"If these are tin: facts, use your own
judgment."
It appears from this that a general
plan of fusion satisfactory to the Pop
ulists has been agreed on between
Washburne and Jones and that Georgia
alone stands in the wav of consumma
tion. ,' . - ,, v

Official Statement in Relation to Gertalf
Charges.
Cmcioo, Oct. 21.—Chairman TIanni
of the Republican national committei
lias issued the following official state
;uent in relation to the frequen'
charges that workingmen are being co
creed:
“The manifest policy of the silvei
Democratic managers in this cam
paign, as set forth by their candidatt
for President, shortly after his nomi
nation, has been to create the belief it
the minds of the workingmen that thej
were being coerced by their employer!
to vote contrary to their convictions
The chairman of their national com
mittee, Hon. James K. Jones, has em
phasized this policy in a proclamatior
in which he boldly charges the employ
ing classes of the country with having
entered into a conspiracy to coerct
their employes into voting contrary tc1
their opinions. This is a very gravi
charge, and it has now assumed a form
that justifies giving it some attention.
, It is an insult, both to employer and
employe.
“We do not believe that one is des
potic enough to attempt to coerce; 01
i that the other is so cringing as to be
coerced. Employers and employes are
all free American citizens, knowing
their rights and capable of maintain
ing them.
“To coerce a voter is a crime against
the laws of the land, and if Messrs.
Hryan and Jones knew of coercion
they made themselves accomplices oi
the criminals by not informing the
proper authorities and taking steps
for prosecution. It has been the policy
f f the Republican party since its or
ganization to protect every citizen in
the exercise of his elective franchise,
and it will adhere to that policy.
“While we consider the charge ab
surd, and believe that American work
ingmen and employers are too inde
pendent and patriotic either to be co
erced or to coerce, the Republican na
tional committee will do anything in
its power to protect workingmen in the
free and untrammeled exercise of their
rights as citizens and will cheerfully
unite _ with the national Democratic
committee in any movement having
that object in view.
“Coercion of voters is not only an
un-American, unpatriotic and despotic
usurpation of the rights of a free citi
zen, but it is a wrong that will inevit
ably recoil upon its perpetrators. It
is an arbitrary use of power that is in
direct conflict with the principles of
our government. The eivil compact of
majority rule means free majorities,
for whose protection all constitutional
powers Should be used, and without
which a political victory would be bar
ren of results worthy of a great party.
This committee will spare no pains to
secure to every citizen, whatever his
politics, the right to cast his vote ac
cording to his own convictions and to
have his vote honestly counted.

BRYAN’S ILLINOIS TOUR.
Klgh tern Places on the Liat for tlie First
Hay—Mr. Cannon Quoted.
Mattoon, 111.. Oct. 24.—Mr. Bryan
began his great tour of Illinois to-day
and he will spend the next eight days
in the state. Eighteen places were
down on liis itinerary for to-day and a
few more will undoubtedly be added
before night.
Danville was the first stop of tlie
morning, and from a stand near the
court house Mr. Bryan spoke to a largo
assemblage. He said that he did not
come to talk to those who believed in
free silver, but wanted to appeal to
those who up to this time had been
afraid of the. results of free coinage.
After saying that he eould prove the
benefits of free silver by Republican
testimony, he quoted from the speech
made by Congressman Cannon in the
house of representatives in 1878.
A twenty minutes’ stop was made at
Paris and there Mr. Brvan condemned
the money changers. The audience
included many farmers.
At Charleston a gaily decorated,
platform on wheels was at the station
and after Mr. Bryan and his party had
ascended it 200 men drew it to a vacant
lot, where Mr. Bryan addressed a largo
crowd of farmers for a quarter of an
hour. ... •1
Another Crusade Feared.
Constantinople, Oct. 24.—The tax
irudes issued Wednesday in connection
with the recent purchase of arms, have
resulted in a condition of affairs which
is regarded as very grave. The minis
ters were opposed to the poll tax im
posed on the Mussulmans, but the
palaee officials insisted that the meas
ure was necessary for the defense of
Mussulman religion on the ground
that the Christians were preparing
to attack tlie Mussulmans, and tlie Eu
ropean press was preaching a cru
sade against Islam.
Mr. Wilson Mny Become s Judge.
Washington, Oct. '4.—There is con
siderable speculaton here as to the
successor of the late Chief Justice Rich
ardson of the L'niteil States court of
cluims. The idea seems to be that the
president Will appoint a Southern Dem
ocrat because the remaining four
judges are Northern men and Repub
licans and a name spoken frequently is
that of Postmaster (Icneral Wilson.

j s. F. NORTON FOR BRYAN
Tfc® Middle-of-th* Road Leader Vrgo
Popnllats to Vote Unitedly.
Washington, Oct. S3.—Senator But
ler to-day received a letter from S. F
Norton of Illinois, the favorite candi
date of the middle-of-the-road Popu
lists for the Presidential nomination a'
the St. Louis convention, announcini
his support of Mr. Bryan and ad
vising .Populists everywhere to as
sist in Mr. Bryan's election
He advises Populists to forgivt
for the time any unjust treatmen
from the Democrats and postpone th«
settlement of minor differences until
after the election. “If,” he says, “suc
cess is assured, the Populist party can
not be denied the glory of the victory,
whether Bryan is a Populist or not.
One thing absolutely certain is that
every enemy reformers have encount
ered during the last twenty years we
I find to-day among Mr. Bryan’s bitter
est and most relentless opponents. I:
they are his enemies he must be oui
friend. His success is their defeat;
their defeat is our victory.
“Although some of us may regrel
certain fusion arrangements that have
been made, it is a notable fact that n*
other man in the United States is s<
much troubled by them as the manager
of the Republican campaign. I never
realized before how highly Republicans
have honored and respected the Popu
list party till it fused with the Demo
crats. If any consolation is needed,
however, for the loss of Republican
esteem, it may be found in the fad
that Messrs. Cleveland, Carlisle and
Palmer have become legatees thereof.’

ance with the suggestions of Mr. Jh-yar
and Chairman Jones of the Democratic
national committee. Governor Mclntirt 1
to-day issued a proclamation calling
upon all good citizens, irrespective oi

ADVICE TO FARMERS,
By II• II. Carr £ Co., the I'limier’ii Cosh
mission House.
We are In the midst of an exciting
political campaign; the great cities
are stirred by monster demonstrations.
The great orators hold forth every
night in halls, wigwams, and tents. Po
litical leaders are busy figuring out the
result In advance of the elbctlbn. Thou
sands of men in the employ of the na
tional committees are ascertaining as
near as possible how each city ward,
how each branch of organized labor. 4
how each city will vote. One thing no
man, no set of men, no campaign com
mittee, no political party can tell in
advance, that is, how the farmers of'' • s
the country will vote. The one great ■: j:
question to-day is: How do the farm- 4 '1
era feel about it? We mention this
only to illustrate a point in practical
business matters. t , i 7
Agricultural workers are learning
their power in politics. They Cart make
or unmake state legislatures. They do
it by Imitating the methods of labor
in cities, by working together. They ,
do not need local unions. They can • ""
work in our grand intellectual union
for their common good. They have
done it in demanding legislation. They ”
are doing it now in a way that makes
leaders tremble. They will act more
intelligently and united in the future.
They find other things than politics to
call for their decision. They produce
what the world needs. They are study- ■ !
lng new methods of giving the fruit of '
their labors to the world. Recently an. '■ >'■
army of 100,000 men marched through j,
Chicago’s streets celebrating the twen
ty-fifth anniversary of the great fire.
The farmers have for years fed a much
greater army; not only fed, but ihade‘:e’A s
rich, presented with grain elevators,
private banks, fine houses, costly lux
uries. the old-time, ever-present army
of middlemen. But there is a revolt "
against dividing profits with this, army .
between the farm and the world’s big
markets.
This independent action began with
this pioneer farmer’s commission house.
It is assuming proportions which make
the easy money-makers (professional
shippers) at the stations over a dozen ■
states tributary to Chicago tremble.
The question: "What are the farmers. • 1
going to do?” bothers not politicians,
alone, but all those who have been
getting something for nothing. Farm- >
ers are going to ship their own grdin
—not a few or a hundred, but an army ■
of thousands. They know how, they
have tried it, it pays. That is' one
question answered by farmers. ■"* >> b
See what a few’ farmers say who
have tried shipping: >

CHARACTER IN WALKING. t
Quick steps are indicative of "nerzr
and agitation.
Tip-toe walking symbolizes surprise
curiosity, discretion or mystery. '
Turned-in toes are often found with
preoccupied, absent-minded persons.
The miser’s walk is represented as
stooping and noiseless, with short ner
vous, anxious steps.
The proud step is slow and measur
ed; the toes are conspicuously turned
out, the legs straightened.
