Neab North Platte Friday night a storm of rain and hail made a sweep through several inilee of country, about two miles wide, in which nearly all the corn was destroyed. The embankments of several irrigation canals were washed away, and several horses and cattle killed by lightning. No human beings, so far as known, were injured, and no estimate of damage can be made. We have bimetallism in the United . States in every sense of the term. If the Hold man wants gold, he can get it. If the silver man wants silver at 16 to 1, he can get it. Based on these two metals and redeemable ia them, or like them, in the prodncts of the world (the final re deemer of all moneys) we have the green back, the treasury note aad the national . bank note, so that if the citizen prefers paper to either gold or silver it is within : bis reach. The foregoing briefly puts I the ease as it is, and we are sorry we can : not give the unknown author due credit ' for his brevity and yet fullness of state ment. General principles are decisive in any contest, and in the present campaign ' of educatioa a few of them can be readily remembered and applied. Tariff and lateraaUanal Camacy.

As the Bryan train neared this city, the dwellers in nearly all of the suburban homes were ia their doors, waving their handker chiefs. The train ran into the Pitts burg depot at 6:50 p. m. It was im HMdiately surrounded by acres and acres of frantic people. When Mr. Bryan emerged from the train, in spite of the efforts of the large local commit tee to carry out its program, the crowd closed around him and it was a free-for-all fight from that time on for every person in the Bryan party except Mr. and Mrs. Bryan and Mr. and Mrs. Bland. When they entered tbeir carriages the relentless throng closed around them and seemed to bear them along at its will. Through the various streets trav ersed no available space could be dis cerned. Every foot of ground along the way was occupied by enthusiasts. When the Central hotel was reached a cordon of police was stationed at the amain entrance and formed a narrow passage way leading to the staircase. No one was allowed to tread it except he could show unmistakable credentials. KJvallad Niagara's Tkaaders. I While Mr. and Mrs. Bryan were sup ping, the streets resounded with the con tinnoris clamor from the thousands of throats. Many marching clubs pierced 'the stubborn crowds amid showers of pyrotechnics and a roar that would have rivalled Niagara's thunders. The evening meetings had been anaounced jto occur at 8 o'clock in the Grand Opera house and the Avenue theatre, kindred jnalls, side by side and owned by the jaaaae parties. Long before tho hour for lopening the doors the entire street in front of these structures was packed full along the entire block, and after the jdoors had been opened and the struct ures were filled the crowd ont6ide had suffered little perceptible diminution. A 'corps of about 100 policemen were on daty at the various entrances, and in 'the course of the early evening there was an Incipient riot in which one per son was severelv beaten and some of the officers had their brass buttons torn off. When Mr. and Mrs. Bryan and mem bers of their party rode around from the hotel and entered the first hall both of them were packed to their full standing room capacity. The crowd outside lin gered in not6y but peaceful disappoint ment, singing, cheering and burning red fire, and a tolerable rain that came soon after the speaking began diminish ing it but little, the street remaining fall until the meeting closed. At the first meeting Mr. Bryan was introduced by Mr. James Miller, editor of the Pittsburg Post. At the meeting in the Avenue theatre Mr. Bryau was intro duced to the audience by Joseph Holly, the chairman of the Democratic county central committee. Mr. Bryau was re- ceived with great applause and in his short speech was liberally punctuated with applause. Addresses were delivered also at both nteetiugs by "Silver Dick" Bland and J. Gilmore Johnson, Kansas member of the national committee. Upon leaving the opera house, Mr. and Mrs. Bryan were driven to the Randall club under the escort of members, and an official of the club presented to each, one of the clubs handsome badges. Mrs. Bryan was made an honorary member with her husband. When Mr. Bryan returned to the hotel, a large crowd followed aud in sisted on another speech. The crowd could hardly be driven from his rooms to allow him to retire. The crowd was so much larger than had been antici pated that it could not be handled. BLAND CALLS ON M'KINLEY. Silver Advocate aad His Wife Make a Frieadly Visit. Camtox, O., Aug. 11. A delegation of 60 prominent Democrats from Pitts burg, who composed a citizens' commit tee to escort Candidate Bryan from Canton to that place, arrived here at 10:20 yesterday morning. Finding they had time, the paity, headed by County Chairman Hawley of Alleghany county and Morris Forester, went to make an informal call upon Major McKinley. Mr. Forester acted as spokesman for the party upon arriving at the McKinley residence. He said that he believed that any candidate for the presidency was worthy of the greatest respect of every one, regardless of political affilia tion. The members of the delegation had, therefore, called to pay their re spects and to make a friendly call as Aanerican citizens. . In response. Governor McKinley said; Mr. Chairman axdGestixmkx: I am vary glad of this opportunity to greet you and I am vary grateful for the generous words spoken by your chairman, repre sen ting another political organization. Wa are all of u proud of our country and of oar country's history and we should all be determined to make this government In the future, as In the past, the best gov ernment in the world. Of you, who dis agree with me politically, it is very grate ful to have assurance of your personal good will. I thank you. (Applause.) i After which the members of the committee were presented and shook hands with Mr. McKinley. -;' Distinguished callers on Major Mc Kinley were the Hon. R. P. and Mrs. Bland. They came here with a com nsittee from Pittsburg, which made the trip from the Iron City to meet the Bryan party here. Mr. and Mrs. Bland had gone to Alliance, a city 20 miles east of here, ahead of the Bryan party, .aa it was a part of the program to have ja speech of some length at that place by JMr. Bryan. While here Mr. Bland was cold that an address would be mads here, and be was prevailed upon by the Pittsburg committee to return to Can ton. The time spent at the McKinley home by Mr. and Mrs. Bland was ap parently very agreeable to both the hon ored callers and to Major and Mrs. MCr Kiuley. When the 1:40 Pennsylvania train Balled into Canton IS minutes late bear ing Mr. Bzyan into this populous star eoaatr, the home of Major McKinley With 100,000 population, turned out in thousand's to aceet their fellow towns Ban's opponent, and Mr. Bryan re tained the compliment i.a his speech. Special trains bad brought delegations here from all oyer southeastern Ohio, ad the Pittsburg Bryan delegation was here in a special train tooscortMr, Bryan to their city, Mr. Allen Cook, the local Populist leader, escorted Mr. Bryan to a flat car adjoining the Pull man car Hungary, followed by Mr. James E. Rice of Canton with Mrs'. jSryan, After the applause had sun aiaed, .wea Mayor Rice had finished his presentation, r. Bryan said: Mn. Chairman. Lames and Gestue- fOj: When I receivednotice asjiort tims age.nf the organization or a silver club In hU.eity, I little imagined the tremendous aatipiinta which seem to be .behind the taasaiaaia tais city, tae kerne of to testify his high character and persaaal worth.

I thank yon for your kind attention and bid you guodby. At East Palestin, O., about 100 peo ple were waiting and cheered lustily. It was here that a man climbed upon the steps and harangued the can didate as follows: "Make a dollar worth 63 cents, will we, Bill? Nobody knows that the ratio was fixed by our fore fathers. Wasn't that it? Then we'll tell them why we raised the ratio from 15 to 1C. Make her 1G. old sport. That's what we want, see?" Mr. Bryan made no response. AN OPEN LETTER TO BRYAN. Naw York World Asks HIsa ia Daaste Sev eral Flanks In the Catena Platfersa. New York, Aug. 11. The World prints a 4-column "open letter" to Mr. Bryan, asking him to define in his speech of acceptance his position on several planks in the Chicago platform. It says- that upon many grounds The World stands with Mr. Bryan, in- : stancing the income tax, opposition to tariff changes, hostility to trusts and monopolies and to bond issues in time j of peace witnout explicit authority of ; congress. It denounces the Chicago planks in regard to the condemnation of President Cleveland for putting down the riots at Chicago. It then antagonizes sharply the de maud for free coinage and tells Mr. Bryan this is the main reason for the disruption of the party. The World says that if Mr, Bryan can convince the undecided Democrats that it is safe for them to vote their party's ticket, the World will comply with Mr. Bryan's j invitation to support him, not because "it is blind to the grave faults of the platform on which he stands, but in spite of it and regarding it with undi minished and unchangeable contempt." 1 i Sewall Arrives at Naw York. j New Yore, Aug.

The first round in the fight over the 22,ti0O acres of land in O'Brien county, Iowa, title was the scene of riotous proceedings for to which was restored to the United an hour or more this afternoon. The States by the decision of the supreme ' Boston Bloomers, so called, were ar court of the United States in October ! rested at the close of a ball irame bv last, has been decided by Assistant Sec retary of the Interior Reynolds. The matter came before him on application of Emory Marker and eighty-eight oth ers to compel the commissioner of the general laud office to allow their appli cations to enter the land prior to Feb.27 hut, the date set for the tiling of appli cation and proof of trlement by set tlers already on the iund. These "sooners" assert that title was vested in the government on the day of the decision by the supreme court aud that the lauds were subject to entry ou that date. The acting secretary holds that a decision of the court does not necessarily restore lands to settlement on the same day that it is rendered and that the secretary had ample authority for setting a date for receiving the ap plications and proof mentioned. He therefore denies the application filed by the applicants for certiorari on the ground that they assigned no good rea son for overturning the decisions of the commissioner and local officers.

I A Stady For Farmers. ! In September, 1804. our exports of agricultural products constituted 05.64 per cent of all exports. This year in September they formed but 00.81 per cent, a loss of 4.83 percent. In Septem ber, 189a, they were 72.53 per cent,' showing a loss this year of 11.73 per cent. In September, 1891, they were 77.88 per cent of all exports, showing a loss of 17.07 for last September as com pared with 1891. This gives farmers an idea of the manner in which the free traders help them to capture the markets of the world. In actual value this 5 ear's' September loss was nearly 50 per cent, the shipments of agricultural products in September, 1891, being worth $63, 739,633 and this year in September only $34,099,953, a decrease of $39,039,581 in a month.
