WEATHER CUTTING QUEER CAPERS

n Wrk or 'I'm Da.v.s.
The weather man has been doing
some queer things to the temperature
and ether weather conditions during
the past few days and there Is a sus
picion In some , quarters that ho will
monkey around with the machinery
until the next thing he knows ho is
likely to drop down n frost on the
country. Saturday and Sunday nights
wore chilly and Monday night started
In with Home coolness , but before
morning bad become quite warm , then
showers wore produced , and dually the
wind swung around to the north and
this morning opened with a damp and
chilly atmosphere that boded no par
ticular good to growing vegetation.
It may delay the business , however ,
or a week or ten days , during which
there can bo a consldorablo develop
ment of the corn which Is about the
inly growing crop now endangered by
11 frost. A week from Friday the nl-
innnnc makers have scheduled the au
tumnal equinox and the day following
the full moon , but meantime It may bo
just ns well to bo cautious of cold
temperatures , as the season of frost Is
not far removed. It was reported that
there was a light touch of frost In low
places Saturday night , but no damage
was done. The weather during the past
couple of weeks has been unusually
favorable to the development of corn
and sugar beets and fit the latter some
magnltlcent specimens have developed
and there Is promise of u good tonnage
with n good amount of saccharine mat-
tor.
I'niHt Tonight
Since the foregoing was written the
observer at Chicago has sent out a
warning that this section Is likely to
be visited by frost tonight. If th
wind continues to blow or If the heav
ens remain obscured by clouds the
frost may be evaded , but everything
else points to the correctness of th
weather man's forecast. I\ has been
growing colder since morning and thl
afternoon tires and overcoats are neat
at all uncomfortable.

OYSTHH HAY. N. V. , Sept. 12. Pres
ident Theodore Hoosovolt has glvon to
the public his letter accepting the re
publican nomination for the presiden
cy addressed to Hon. Joseph Q. Can
non , chairman of the committee on
notltlcatlon.
The address consists of some sixty-
two pages of printed matter In which
the Issues of the present campaign are
logically and energetically treated
from the republican standpoint. A
strong argument is made for repub
lican success nt the polls nnd convinc
ing reasons are glvon why the voters
should not fcol under obligations to
support the democratic ticket. In
part. President Uoosovolt said :
"It Is dllllcult to Mud out from the
utterances of our opponents what are
the real Issues upon which they pro
pose to wngo this campaign. It Is not
unfair to say that , having abandoned
most of the principles upon which
they hnvo Insisted during the last
eight years , they now scorn at a loss ,
both as to what It Is that they really
bollovo , and ns to how firmly they
liall assort tholr belief In anything.
i fact , It Is doubtful If they venture
o.iolutoly to press a single Issue ; as
eon as they raise one they shrink
oiu It nnd seek to explain It away.
The party now In control of the gov-
rnmont Is troubled by no such dllll-
ultlos. Wo do not hnvo to guess nt
ur own convictions , nnd then correct
10 guess If It seems unpopular. The
rlnolplos which we profess nro those
i which wo bollovo with heart and
oul nnd strength. Men may differ
oni us ; but they cannot accuse us of
rlcklnoss or Insincerity.
"Our opponents can criticise what wo
Id In Panama onyl on condition of
ntsstntlng what was done. The ad-
ilnlstrntlon behaved throughout not
nly with good faith , but with oxtra-
rdlnary patience and largo generosity
oward these with whom It dealt. It
vns also mindful of American Inter-
sis. U acted In strict compliance with
he law passed by congress.
"It Is the policy of the republican par-
y , steadily continued through many
ears , to trout the veterans of the civil
, vnr In a spirit of broad liberality. If
nir opponents como into power they
, vlll treat the veterans of sixty-two to
evenly as presumably in full vigor and
lot entitled to pensions. Will they
now authoritatively state that they In-
end to do this ? If so. we accept the
ssue. If not , then wo have the right
: o ask why they raise an Issue which ,
when raised , they do not venture to
meet.
"It is Idle to say that the monetary
standard of the nation Is Irrevocably
fixed so long ns the party which at the
last election cast approximately forty-
six per cent of the total vote , refuses
to put In Its platform any statement
that the question Is settled. A deter
mination to remain silent cannot be
accepted as equivalent to a recanta
tion.
"Within the limits defined by the
national constitution the national ad
ministration has sought to secure to
each man the full enjoyment of his
right to live his life nnd dispose o
his property and his labor ns ho deems
best , so long as he wrongs no one else.
It has shown In effective fashion tha
In endeavoring to make good thl
guarantee , it treats all men , rich or
poor , whatever their creed , their color ,
or tholr birth-place , as standing alike
before the law.
The Tariff.
"It Is but ten years since the last at
tempt W.IH made , by means of lowering
tha tariff , to prevent some people from
prospering too much The attempt
WIIH entirely micci'MHful. The tariff law
of that year wan among the cannon
which In that year nnd for some time
afterwards effectually prevented any
body from prospering too much , and
labor from prospering at nit. I7n *
Hihtedly It would bo possible nt the
rcHont time to prevent any of the
rusts from remaining prosperous by
in wimple oxpodlqnt of making such
swooping change In the tariff IIH to
aralyzo the Industries of the conn-
ry. The trustH would COIIHO to pros-
er ; but tholr smaller competitors
mild ho ruined , nnd the wage-work-
r.s would starve , while It would not
> ay the farmer to haul his produce to
mrkot. To tiproot and destroy the
rotoctlvo tariff system would be to
isuro the prostration of business , the
apltallst , and the starvation of the
vngo-workor. Yet , If protection Is In-
nod 'robbery. ' and If our opponents
'cally believe what they say , then It
s precisely to the destruction and up-
ootlng of the tariff , and therefore of
iiir business mid Industry , that they
ro pledged. The domestic trade of
his country exceeds In volume the on-
Ire expert and Import trade of all the
natlo'iiH of the world , the United States
ins In addition secured more than an
eighth of the expert trade of the
world , standing llrst among the na-
.lons In this respect.
"Tho farmer has bonolltcd qulto ns
niich nn the manufacturer , the merchant
chant , nnd the wago-worker. Tin
: nest welcome and Impressive fact os
tahllshod by the last census Is th
wldo and oven distribution of wealtl

The six million farms of the United
States , operated by man who , as n
lass , are steadfast , single-minded
and Industrious , form the basis of al
the ether achievements of the Amorl
can people and nro more fruitful thai
closing of factories , the Impoverishment

those six million farms receive from
the protective tariff what they mos

mini output of our agricultural pro
ducts Is nearly four billions of dollar :
Tholr Increase In value has boon pro
dlgioiis , although agriculture has lan
guished in most other countries ; and
the main factor In this Increase Is the
corresponding Increase of our manu
facturing industries. In the forty
years ending In 1900 the total value of
farm property Increased twelve and
a half billions of dollars ; the farmer
gaining oven more during this period
than the manufacturer.
Dvtrimmalire of Ailuiliilitratlnn.
"Our opponents contend that the
government is now administered ox-
trnvngnntly , nnd that whereas there
was "a surplus of $80,000,000 In 1900"
there Is "n deficit of more than $40-
000,000" In the year that 1ms Just
closed.
"This deficit Is Imaginary , and Is
obtained by Including In the ordinary
current expenses the sum of fifty mil
lions,1 which WHS paid for the right of
US' of tho.Papainn canal out of the
cciimulated surplus In the treasury ,
omparlng the current or ordinary ox-
cndlturos for the two years , there
as a surplus of nearly eighty mil-
ons for the year 1000 , and of only a
ttle more than eight millions for the
car that has just closed. But this
imlnntlon of ( ho annual surplus was
rought about designedly by the ab-
lltion of the war taxes In the Inter-
al between the two dates. The acts
f March 2 , 1901 , nnd April 12 , 1902.
tit down the Internal revenue taxes
) an amount estimated at ono bun-
red and live millions a year. In oth-
r words , the reduction of taxation
been considerably greater than
ho reduction in the annual surplus.
I'ho rural free delivery Is of the great-
st use nnd convenience to the farm-
rs , a body of men who llvo under con-
Itlons which make them ordinarily
ocelve little direct return for what
hey pay toward the support of the
government. . The Irrigation policy In
ho arid und semi-arid regions of the
vest is ono fraught with the most be-
lovolcnt and far-reaching good to the
ctnal settlers , the homo-makers ,
fhosc encouragement Is a traditional
'oature ' in America's national policy.
) o our opponents grudge the fifty mil-
tons paid for the Panama canal ? Do
hey Intend to cut down on the pen-
Ions to the veterans of the civil war ?
: ) o they intend to put a stop to the tr
igatlon policy ? or to the permanent

A KKNUUOUS ACTION.
Inrlnn County Propones lo Send n
Poor Hey to n HoxnKnl.
LINCOLN , Sept. 13. The authorities
of Harlan county are about to make
a new departure In the treatment of
dependents. Saturday County Judge
Byritm of that county was In the city
Inquiring of Secretary John Davis as
to some good hospital where a twelve-
year-old paralytic now residing at the
poor farm might bo treated. The
county otllclals propose to bear the expense
ponso out of the public treasury , thus
establishing n new precedent In th
matter of caring for diseased depend
ents.
The boy whose name In withheld fo
the present , Is an orphan , and a pau
per. He Is twelve years of age , bu
his lower limbs are paralyzed. Secretary
tary Davis , whose attention was firs
called to the boy about a year ago
says that the child Is remarkably In
telllgent , and he suggested to th
officials that with the proper treat
ment something might be done to
cure the ailment.
A peculiar feature of the case Is the
fact that no county In the state has
ever proposed , hitherto , so far as
known to Secretary Davis , to send a
pauper to a hospital for treatment.
He commented on the generosity ot
the action.

The base ball games should attract
large crowds , as the teams that will

while on the following day Humphrey

teams among lite amateur clubs of the
state , will meet upon the diamond for
a purse of $100. Besides these fea
tures there will bo plenty of free
amusements provided. A colored

multitude of lessor attractions. Ono
of the most Imposing of the free at
