The average wages per man in India

Wooi, has advanced in price, too, as
well as wheat, and thousands of farmers
are contemplating going into tlse sheep
raising business.
If the high price of grain will lose
votes for J. J. Sullivan, is there any other
reason why than that Mr. Sullivan's par
ty depends on calamity for campaign
strength.
The Albion News calls attention to
the fact that if it was wheat alone that
the farmers had to rejoice over, ''the
calamity wailers might patch up an ar
gument that would do until after elec
tion day, but prices have been going
upwards on several products.
Lowtahitk, tariff reform, free silver,
etc., are not any more attractive rally
ing cries for the opposition, so the lead
ers are studying the signs of the times
for something drawing in the way of
a shibboleth.
Tin: political opponents of .ludgePost
are compelled to acknowledge that ho is
"an honorable citizen aad a capable
judge," while at the same time, for party
reasons, they oppose him. The above is
the language of the Schuyler Quill with
reference to Judge- Post.
Said a vigorous pop the other day
'You republicans may carry tho state
this year, but if we don't get good crops
next season, we'll lick yon worse than
ever." What an organization to tie to -founded
on poor crops, nurtured on hot
winds and pessimism and ready to die a
natural death at the approach of pros
perity. Tilden Citizen.
The New York Sun, while democratic,
was not an admirer of the Cleveland
brand of democracy, and neither is it
favorable to tho Bryan stamp. The Sun
remarks:
' I'lio IIuii. William Jonninfta Bryan
continues to revolve through the West
ern country, but tho reports of his
speeches do not reveal that he has ever
mentioned the present striking verifica
tions of his prophecy that wheat would
fall to twenty-live cents if Mr. MeKin
ley should be elected president."
When republicans suggest tho truth
of tho matter, thero arises a question at
once. But what is to be said when such
a pa-ier as the Kearney Democrat talks
like this:
"The indications arc plain to us that
there is going to be a 'slump' toward
the republican party this fall and it will
require level and conservative heads to
carry the full strength of tho republi
can opposition through to a successful
termination."
Beforo the campaign is ended, gentle
men, very many of you will be glad not
to oppose tho republicans.
Fool legislators aro about the worst
kind of fools, because, besides tho gen
eral inconvenience, it is very expensive
also. John Sprecher, editor of the
Schuyler Quill, though a populist,
swears every time ho thinks about the
blanket ballot which will be in use this
full. He says:
"It is a shame that people will send to
the legislature a lot of chumps who feel
called upon to do something and then
the people must suffer for it afterwards.
We had a fine ballot and aside from a
little amending onr election laws and
provisions were all right. Tho last leg
islature was one that causes every pop
ulist to blush with shame every time it
is mentioned. Another such a legisla
ture and goodbyo populist partv in
Nebraska."
In Bryan's speeches in St. Louis he
missed a grand chance to draw a parallel
between the conditions which prevailed
ou Labor Day this year and those of tlse
same day one year ago. In August, 188(5.
the treasury gold reserve was down to
SI00, 000, 000 at one time, but the certain
ty that the Bryanites would be over
whelmingly beaten in the elections in
September sent the reserve up a little.
This year tle reserve has been in the
neighborhood of SU2.000,000 orS143,000
000 all through August, and is advancing.
Last year at this time the people were
boarding gold, and were looking for an
other bond sale to protect the treasury
reserve. This year nobody pays any at
tention to the reserve, because everybody
knows the reserve can take care of itself
without any outside aid. Last year the
eptcter of Bryanism was be fore the coun
try, mid the suspense and dread just be
fore the election blighted enterprise and
created a sort of reign of terror. This
year Bryanism is a subject of laughter
and not fear 1,000,000 men who were
idle last October are now at work at fair
wages, aud prosperity and happiness aro
seen on all sides. St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
WHICH BRAXD OF DEMOCRACY?
The nomination of Judge Sullivan for
supreme judge by the threo silver con
ventions at Lincoln gives tho greatest
satisfaction. He is unequivo
cally opposed to ring' rule and does not
believe in turning tho state over to cor
porations. Although a silver democrat,
lie has the enthusiastic support of ev
ery populist in the state, because he is a
man who will not bow to tho money
power. Tekamah Burtcnian (pop.)
By such assertions as these the fusion
is! press is endeavoring to counteract
the very marked dissatisfaction in pop
ulist ranks with the forced nomination
by their state convention of a democrat
ic candidate who has always opposed
populists and everything that oavored
of populism.
Although Judge Sullivan was foisted
mpon them by the state house machine,
SfiGsn9BfiH99
Judge Sullivan says there never has been and cannot be any
doubt about his "ardent support of every plank of the Chicago
platform." This queers him in Dodge county, which is by a large
mnjority in favor of sound money and upholding the U. S. supreme
court. Fremont Tribune.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmt
with the aid of its patronage-plastered
satellites, honest populists are assured
that he is opposed to ring rule. Al
though Mr. Sullivan's whole public
career shows him to have been the inti
mate associate of corporation lawyers
and railroad democrats and always with
in call when needed by the railroads,
men who joined the populist party to
fight railroad domination are told that
he does not favor corporations.
To the statement that the fusion nom
inee for supreme judge is an original
silver democrat and a man who is at
outs with the money power, the best
answer conies from the gold-democratic
papers that, while denouncing silver fiat
ism and fulminating eternal warfare
upon populism, proclaim a readiness to
support Judge Sullivan as a gold demo
crat in spite of his fusion endorsements.
As an example, the following from one
of the most outspoken exponents of the
extreme railroad wing of the Xebraska
gold democracy is in point:
While tbo Democrat is not inclined to
endorse the mixture compounded by the
three-in-one convention, it feels favora
ble to Judge Sullivan for the reason
that he is a sound-money democrat,
having always espoused tho gold stand
ard and never accepted the 1G to 1 idea,
lie did support Mr. Bryan last year upon
the ground of regularity and not be
cause he indorsed the wild and erratic
doctrine sent forth by the Chicago con
vention. With Judge Sullivan and
Judge Post to select from, we would
prefer Snllivau, even handicapped as he
is by a populist nomination. Beatrice
Democrat (gold-dem.)
The question is, Which is best fitted
to give cxtiert testimony on Judge Sulli
van's brand of democracy the gold
democrats with railroad proclivities,
with whom he has always trained and to
whom he owes hia political prominence,
or the popuiists, whom he has always
antagonized and who know nothing of
him except that he was made their
standard bearer against their will by
the free pass brigade of the fusion ma
chine. Omaha Bee.

Xkw Oklea.vs Sept. 21. The largest
number of cases reported cu any day
since yellow fever first made iis ap
pearance in Xew Orleans two weeks
ago was recorded ou the books of the
board of health last evening at 0 o'clock,
although at that hour not a single case
bad proved fatal during the day. There
wf-re is fHtea iu all. including nine re
ported bv Dr. Joseph Holt, all of the
latter having been duly flagged and
been put under quarantine regulations.
The niot sensational incident of the
day was the announcement from Dv.
Joseph Hoi: , ex-president of the board
of health, that he had discovered nine
cases among his practice, the firsr of
which had come under his observation
on Friday. Dr. Holr wrote u letter to
President Olliphaur and entrusted it to
the mail and his letter reached the
board of health otlice iu the moruiug.
Bur fearing thai tho letter might not
reach its destination iu time, Dr. Holt
sent a siuvial m-ssenger to the lf-sideiice
of Dr. UUiphant on the boail at IS
o'clock Sunday night, giving this infor
mation. The public, however, did not
learn of the Holt cases until shortly
before noon. At the board of health
office when the Holt letter was opened
there was opened t here was first iucrcdr
ulity aud then criticism of Dr. Holt be
cause ho had adopted what the board
considered an irregular way in which to
make known his eases.
Immediately upon tha receipt of the
latter, the machinery of the ijourd was
placed in motion aud inspectors wore
sent to the various houses where Dr.
Holt reported sickness to exist. The
places were all disinfected and guards
placed iu front of tbeaj, but the board
said it had very little hope of the effec
tiveness of these measures .since, all ;
those who desired were given an oppor
tunity to cxa-ape from the infected
houc-.s. One of tjirj houses, where four
of the patients are, in a fashionable
boarding houe. The first 'ase to de
velop iu this house was at 2 :r0 Satur
day morning and the other cus.es iu tho
same plr.ee were noted on Saturday
afternoon. Tinny Jiviug iu the house,
of whom there were quite a number,
knew of the ei'sSenee of thti !Vvr early
Saturday morning and theivforu got
our as fr as possible. Some of them
moved their baggage on Saturday aud
others on Sunday, while it is said some
of the boarders took a train aud went
to Atlanta. Shortly after tbo board of
health wiw made acquainted with the
contents of tlu' letter of Dr. Holt, it
held an executive conference and de
cided to immediately order its Itoard of
experts to visit the nine eases of Dr.
Holt and decide whether or not they
wero suffering with yellow fever. The
expeits attempted to carry out the in
struction oi t ne roam, out wnen tney
piuiuu ... ti. ,.i,-. jiviun.-. ai. nun
entered an objection ana reiuseu tiiem
pennissiou to examine any of iijs pa
tients, taking t he position that he had
properly diagnosed them and that, be
ing an expert himself, there was no oc
casion for further investigation.
After the experts made their report
the loard of health went into executive
session and dicussed at length what
was termed Dr. Holt's violation of a
city ordinance which he had himself
passed and which provides for the pun
ishment by line or imprisonment of any
physician who might fail to report a
positive or suspicions case of yellow
fever in a period like the present one.
The question of the immediate prosecu
tion of Dr. Holt came up aud was cou
sicbrtd. but the board finally decided to
summon Dr. Holt to appear before them
and explain his alleged negligence in
the promises.
The result of the meeting wjlj decide
whether or not there shall be a prosecu
tion of Dr. Holt iu the courts. Dr. Holt
is one of the most eminent physicians in
the south, was for several years presi
dent of the board of health, is a yellow
fever expert and has an international
reputation by reason of his invention
of the quarantine system at the mouth
of the river, which has been pronounced
tho finest in the world, aud which has
beiu copied by all the leading cities of
this and other couul-ie.s.
The lionnl of liiv.lt h decided to send
an appeal to Governor Foster asking
him to supplv the Loard $23,000 from
the surplus fund of the state to assist
the board m prosecuting its fight
ugainst the f.wr.
After a conference of the health and
city authorities, the Oakland driving
park was selected us the site for the
camp of detention, lr is situated in the
rear of the city aud was tendered to
the officials by the Crescent City Jockey
club. A large force of men were im
mediately put to work and it is ex
pected tliat by touigln the camp will
be ready to receive 200 or 300 people

Toij:ka, Sept. 21. United States
District Judge Foster made a sweeping
decision, in which be declared the or
ganization known as the Kansas City
Live Stock exchange illegal under the
provisions of the antitrust law. The
exchange is an org :;:iz.ttion of commis
sion men who coiit rul the sale of lie
stock iu Kansas City. All stx-k which
enters the city must pass through the
bauds of this organization. Judge Fos
ter enjoins the exchange from doing
business and declav. .-: it an unlawful
combination.
Kansas Cirv,Sepr. 21 The news of
the decision rendered by Uuiteil States
Judge Foster, declaring the Kansas
City live stock exchange :: violation of
the Sherman antitrust law. caused a
great deal of suppressed excitement at
the stock yards here.
Some memljers of the exchange say
the dissolutiun of the exchange will be
a severe blow to the live stock interests
if it stands the test in the higher courts.
They say that the business as carried
on under the rules of the exchange has
been reduced to a scientific basis ami
guarantees to every patron an honest
deal. President John C. McCoy said :
"We are in the hands of our lawyers
aud until we see them we do not know
what action will be taken by the ex
change. Iu fact, we do not know the
full import of the decision and are iu
no position to stay what we can do."
The case was that brought by the
United States district attorney nearly a
year ago. when Grc-e. Mills & Co., a
Chicago-Kansas City firm, was driven
from the exchange. The firm was sus
pended for the nonpayment of fines ag
gregating $1,000 and" sued for an in
junction. Tho association h located on the Kansas-Missouri
iinr-in tht, immediate vi
cinity of the Kansas City Stockyards
company's yards. The decision declares
that the exchange is elearlv a combine
tiou whose purpose is to restrict, control
mid monopolize the buying ami soiling
of live stock at the Kansas City yards
and continues: "The methods and
aims of many of thes CA.-hargHS and
boards of trade are nor altogether beie
ficial to the business and commerce of
the country. The crying complaint of
today and the great menace to the wel
fare of tjie people is the tendency of
wealth to inouopolixp ayd control by
trusts and combine the product and
industries of the country, end ir mnM
be confessed by every thoughtful ob
server that many of the so-called slock
and prodnro exchauges are among the
most potent i!itruro&ntaliiics for the
accomplishment of these purposes by
speculators and adventurers'
Judge Foster defines the interstate
law aad says : "It is iudisputabk- that

i tiiertatf Coniiiifrrr Commission Hearing
Charges of Warehousemen.
Kansas City, Sept. 21. The hearing
pf the case of the Ameilcan Warehouse
men's association against the Illiuoia
i Central railway and G other great
trunk lined of tho United States wag
begun iu the federal bsjltuug this after-
noon before
J. D. Ycomaus uf Sioux
member of the interstate
uitv, ta., a
commerce commission. The hearing
here relates only to the lines running
from Kansas City. The American
Warehoifctoineu's association has com
plained to the commission that the rail
roads of the country, since tlicy iav.e
been prevented by the interstate com
merce act from favoring their heavy
shippers with rebates iu freight rates,
have, cuutiuued to show favoritism by
granting to thtr. large shippers the
privilege of free storage in their freight
warehouses. By this railroad are
house companies are cut off of a large
volume of busiue&s and therefore the
association has made a complaint to the
interstate commerce commission. E.
K. Sumuierwell of New York, attorney
representing the Warehousemen's asso
ciation, sam touay mat tne case
IS
probably the most important
ever
brought before the commission.
Local freight agents of the Wabash,
the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul
and the c-iicago Great Western ap
peared before the .commission today.
All admit that their big customers have
been receiying a consideration top
which the railroad was not compensated.

sparsely settled agricultural regions of
the United States, was held here today.
About 50 delegates were present from
all parts of the country, but at least 200
are expected to appear at tomorrow's
session. Today's meeting was called
to onler by George B. Girling of Chi
cago, chairmau of the executive com
mittee of the association. He made
a short speech outlining the work of the
association and also read the call of the
convention. The call says: "We firm
ly believe that the safety of the repub
lic is threatened by tho concentration of
the population into the crowded center.
and history teaches that those uatious
achieve the highest attainments where
the majority of the people are home
owners and not tenants, aud at the pres
ent time nearlv three-fourths of the
American people are liviug in rented
homes. Such a coa M iou endangers

manent organization was then completed.
