LINCOLN' . Aug. 22 ( Special. ) A prosperIty - Ity story comes up from Vcrdon , the home of Auditor Cornell , A local Implement house line posted a wager of 423 to the effect that there have been more farm Implements sold In the village this year than were sold there during the whole Cleveland ad ministration. U Is said that this wager has been offered for several days and no takers have appeared ami the Verdon people con cluded to refer the matter to the auditor himself. A local populist came to Lincoln to protest against the auditor allowing any fetich bluff to stand. Hu said that the news of any' such prosperity and revival of busi ness would be damaging to the campaign. The trip to Lincoln was , however , of no awall , for when the messenger arrived here ho found that Cornell was absent on a junket to Denver and that his principal po litical deputy was also enjoying a trip to the mountain ? . Instead of giving any con- eolation the patriotic Verdon man returned homo Imbued with the Idea that the Imple ment story would havu to RO unrefined and that there must also be some truth In thu frco pass stories that have been circulated regarding the auditor. The managers of the state Grand Army of the Republic reunion have been in hopes that the Wymore battery would be present to take part In the program , but It Eeems now that the battery Is fo be ordered Into camp nt Wymore.

Quite a number f delegates are here for the democratic tate convention , which meets here tomor- ow and Wednesday. While the cntlon does not assemble till Vednesday , the real contest comes omorrow at the district and committee neetlngB , when the new state central com- nltco and other committees are selected. The feature of the convention Is the contest etwecn the Bryan and the anti-Bryan men or control of the state organization , which will be directly effective next year , when nominations nro to be made for governor nd other state officers , and Indirectly In 9CO , ou the nomination for president. Ex- Congressman Paul J. Sorg , who fs mnn- loncd for the gubernatorial nomi nation next year , Is classed as Bryan man , and ex-Collector Joseph H. Dowllug is here as his manager. Chairman W. W. Durbln. of the state cen- ral committee arrived early today , and ia o-operatlng with Dowllng. Allen O. Myers , George Karb , James Roes and others , who were In charge of the last campaign , are Inssed as Dryan men.

WORK FOR MISSOURI HEPUIIMCANS Conteit Over Chnlrninnnhlp Attractn Mm-li Intercut and Attention. BT. LOUIS. Aug. 22. The republican state convention will be called to order at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning by Chairman Chauncoy I. Fllley In Music Mall. For some time doubts have been expressed as to whether Chairman Fllley would be present at the convention , and when It became known today that he Intends to preside at the opening of the session the rush for ad- mtttanco tickets became great , as It la ex pected Mr. Fllley will have something un usually interesting to say regarding the factions that have opposed him In the past. There will bo 1,019 accredited delegates to the convention and the majority of them expect to lie present. The main interest of the convention IB In the election of a c'lulr- man to succeed Mr. Fllley. The race for the position Is evidently between J. T. Akin of Polk and Wallace Love of Kansas City. Very llttlo Is Bald about the platform , aside from a general statement that It will endorse a big expansion policy and claim every foot of territory over which the American flag has floated. Kansas city will probably not have a candidate for su preme judge. Judges Klnklenburg and Rombnucr of St. Loula arc both considered possibilities for tbo city nomination nnd Edward Hlgbee of Schuyler county may bo the country candidate. The state convention - tion today selected temporary officers for the convention. Dr. Emll I'retorlous was selected for temporary chairman.

There are eleven candidates up for tbo two vacancies of the supreme beuch and from two to five candl- dates for other places on the state ticket except of those of comptroller and surveyor general , the incumbents of which enjoy a clear Held for renoinlnatlon.

CURRENT IS AT HIGH TIDE Stock Market * in the East Experience a Scrier of Boonv , WAR EXPENSES MUCH LESS THAN EXPECTED Henry Cleir * Hny * tlint In Forty Yrnrn He linnet Horn Outlook for lluiilnc-ii * IntcrmtR. NEW YORK , Aug. 22. ( Special. ) Henry Clews , of the banking firm of Clews & Co. says : The return of peace , the promise of business and an abundance of cheap money have been Irresistible factors on the Stock exchange. Of course , many of the sensa tional advances of this week cau be at tributed to manipulation , but such manl- ; i- latlon ' would not hiive been possible did net the favorable conditions exist. As a matter of fact , there was much less manipulation than usual In n market of the recent nisp&l- tudo and sticngtb. Professional op it a tors saw the market taken right away from Iticm by the rush of outside buying , and ull ii- forts to check the advance were fruitless for a time , notwithstanding heavy realizing and not n little inside Belling. In ordinary times Wednesday's rise would have marked the culmination of a bull movement , but this can hardly be so now , although no sur- prlso need bo expressed If the pace has been shown too rapid and n resting spell be needed. As we have , however , repeatedly stated , these are not ordinary times ; the conditions are very unusual and one-sided , and It IB many years since we have had such c complete absence of disturbing conditions. The putting of Burlington & Qulncy upon a C per cent basis was a very practical Illus tration of the Improvement In the railroad situation. A few roads have already In creased their dividends , and others arc sure to follow. On a o per cent basis an ad- vance of 1 p r cent In the dividend rate ought to raise the value of an ordinary stock at least 20 points , so that the pros pect of Increased dividends affords a basis for the strongest and most active kind of speculation. The question of our foreign relations may at any time have pu Important bearing upon the stock market , and In this connection the appointment of Ambassador Hay as secre i tary of state Is an admirable one. It Is one of President McKlnley's best. Mr. Hay has of necessity acquired a large knowledge of foreign affairs , which is Important in view of our now departures , and his tact and ex perience will serve to promote closer rela tions with Great Britain , our best customer for all that wo have to sell , and our best friend In all that affects the welfare of the United States outside of Its own territory. The war Is no longer a factor affecting the Interests that center In Wall street. Its exciting uncertainties are ended. The only Important matter unsettled by the peace protocol Is the disposition to be made of the Philippines , which , In an Important sense , are made doubly ours by the surrender of Manila and by the capture of other points which will be accomplished before our com manders can receive notification of the ces sation of hostilities. So far as .respects Cuba and Porto Rico , It Is only a matter of at most a very few weeks before those Isl- ands will be placed under our administra tlon , upon conditions that will inspire con- fidence in the maintenance of public order and bring about an active resumption of trade . operations. For some time at least , the reopening of the late blockaded ports will bo attended with a return to more than the normal movement of merchandise ; but the matter of chief Interest will be the eager outlook for opportunities for American Investment in plantation properties and In mercantile undertakings. Indeed , the inter- st In such ventures has risen to such a Itch that It will not be surprising If this ort of enterprise Is overdone. There can e no doubt , however , that under the Span- sh domination the rich resources of both stands have never received much more than surface development , and a large and vat- able trade with both islands must soon be orthcomlng. The results In the Philippines are much ess capable of estimate. There can be no doubt in that there , aa well aa In the Wtst ndles , Spanish government has been re pressive of trade to the last degree ; and it s equally certain that if the Islands were alien into our permanent possession there vould be a rush of American enterprise hither proportioned to the rich resources of the archipelago and far surpassing any- hlng possible In connection with Cuba or r'orto Rico , whose population and area are so much smaller. If the Philippines should be permanently annexed , a most important addition would be made to our tropical commerce ; and. Including the West India trade , we should rank among the foremost nations In respect to a wide class of iroducts which have always been the ob- lects of trade ambition. At present , how ever , It Is Impossible to form any judgment as to what disposal may be made of the | jreat eastern archipelago. It Is fairly ours 3y conquest and we can compel its transfer to our ownership through the peace com mission If we so desire. But the question is a large and delicate one and the president lias preferred to take no definite stand upon It until be has bad fuller opportunity to judge of what may be the sentiment of the American people upon the question. This is an emlteatly wise course , although it may involve keeping the country Ignorant for some months to come In respect to by far the most Important results of the war. U Is a welcome fact that the government has kept down the military and naval ex penditures to a much lower figure than , was at first expected. Estimates now place the total gross cost of hostilities to this coun try at $200,000,000. This may possibly prove too low a figure , but it Is safe to assume that the war bill will not at alt approximate the $400,000,000 which has been very gen erally expected. The country will appreciate the effort to economize expenditure by put ting the military and naval establishments as nearly as possible upon a peace footing as quickly as possible. As a record of military achievements the four months' war leaves behind It much of which the nation may well feel proud and much that will command the respect If not tbo admiration of other coutrles ; but tha matter for profoundest congratulation Is that we should have made such conspicuous contributions to humane government and achieved for ourselves such large material results with to small a cost of Ufa or treasure. It Is not surprising that the stock market for the last week should have been under a movement that approaches almost a boomIng - Ing character , for the reason that the week i was memorable for the beat of news all rcund In connection with the crops , In connection with the foreign relations of our government , In connection with the money situation and the prospect of bringing gold > this way from Europe this winter In largo amounts for the payment of our products , lu connection with our exports as com pared with our Imports , and , last but not least , in connection with t'ae cessation of hostilities with Spain and the declaration of pence by the president The future of this country li certainly full of promise and all the favorable conditions that exist stand for an active stock market with a rising tendency. The half of the year 1898. say from July to January 1 , will beyond joubt mark the highest notch of prosperity which this country has attained In Its hletory , and it is that prospect which is at th bottom of stock values at the present time. It Is I not surprising , hercforc , that the current Is at high tide. In all my buxlnesn experience In Wall street , which covers a period of forty years , 1 have ncvrr seen a brighter outlook tor alt business Interests In this country than the situation now presents , MAIL SP.IIVICK TO POM'U HIIMtOVr.D.
