Saturday' Morning, Aug. 22, 1891
COUNTING 02T THE CE0PS.
The Republican politicians are
counting upon the good crops to
pull them through next fall, and
well they may for they had
nothing else to count upon.
Tiey were trembling in their boots
at the revolt amongst the farmers
which had helped to consign so many
Republican statesmen to the shades
of private life last fall, and revolu
tionized the politics of some States
which had been Republican for a
generation.
The McKinlev tariff, with the ex
travagance of the Billion Dollar
Congress were more than they could
successfully . defend, and the most
observant of them expected this fall
in the State elections a repetition of
the disasters of last fall. They
did not cheer up at the pros
pect ot good crops until the reports
from Europe showed such wide fail
ure of the crops there and then they
began to pick up courage and cher
ish some hope. They knew that a
large crop without a foreign demand
meant a large surplus and corres
pondingly low prices which would
add to the discontent of the farmers
and give additional stimulus to the
Third Party which was corner-stoned
on the distress amongst the farmers.
And they knew, too, that in the
Western States most of the disaffect
ed element which would go to make
up the Third Party would come
from the Republican party.
; Hence when the reports of the
failure of the crops in Europe, and
impending distress in some coun
tries were confirmed thrirhamc,
. m - V I.O
were - lightened, and their spirits
became more joyful, not that they
were made glad by the possible
suffering of others, but at the pros
pect of - escaping calamity ' them
selves. They knew that this would
make a demand at good prices for
the surplus grain and meat of this
countryand their eyes brightened
when the Western grain pits became
active and wheat jumped from the
87 cents of last year to over a dollar
a bushel, and other grain in propor
tion. They reasoned correctly that the
farmer who was getting the highest
price for the wheat he had to sell
would not waste much of his time
fooling with a third" party, or
in discussing demands which
in the presence of overflow
ing granaries and full wallets be
come ridiculous absurdities, the
government ownership of railroads
and telegraphs, for instance, when
the railroads alone would cost $10 -000,000,000,
to be paid at some time
in taxes by the people, the govern
ment warehouse system with nothing
left to put in the warehouses, and
the money-loaning scheme of Sena
tor Stanford, requiring the loaning
of money by the Government at a
lower rate of interest than the Gov
ernment pays on its outstanding
bonds. .
When people are in good humor
and there is a prospect of prospering
individually and collectively : they
are more disposed to tolerate abuses
m government then when they are
pinched, find it difficult to make both
ends meet and have to scratch gravel
to pay their taxes, and possibly this
may keep some farmers in the Re
publican hulk who were disposed to
to get out of it, but it would be a
poor commentary on the intelligence
or common sense of the farmers of
the country if they would give the
Republican party the benefit, and by
inference at least, the credit for the
rains and the sunshine ancl the
abundant harvests which God Al
mighty had sent them. ;
The Republican party may be
benefitted by this and it may not be
The probabilities are that it will be
benefitted some; but suppose there
had been no failure of crops across
the sea and no extra demand for
American farm products with the
immense crop of this year, over
twenty-eight per cent, larger than
last year, and over fourteen per cent
larger than any year since 1880, re
sulting in a much larger surplus,
with no market where would
it have been then? Instead of
praising the Lord for i the big crop,
the Republican bosses would have
looked upon it as a calamity, and as
far as the Republican: party is con
cerned it would have been a calam
ity. But the misfortune of Europe
opens up a brighter vista to them
and gives them at least something
upon which to base d hope of not
being swept from the face of the
earth as a political party.
MINOR MENTION.
W. R. Vaughn, whose full name is
AValter Raleigh Vaughn, an ex-mav
or of Council Bluffs, Iowa, and at
present a citizen of Omaha, Neb.,
who is booming or trying . to boom
that 000.000,000 pension business
for the ex-slaves, has got Fred Doug
lass to endorse . it, although Fred's
endorsement don't amount, to much
in a $500,000,000 transaction. Wal
ter Raleigh Vaughn tells people
when he talks on this scheme that he
has no selfish or: mercenary motive
in it, as .he is a man of inde
pendent fortune, while Mr. Fair-
brother, editor of i the Durham
Globe, who formerly resided in
Nebraska, and seems to have some
knowledge of Mr. Vaughn, savs he
couldn't borrow ten dollars in the
city he lives in. The probabilities
are that he thinksjie has a soft snap
m this busmessrand that with the
endorsement of Fred 'Douglass, the
confiding colored citizen, who ex
pects to get something out of it, will
respond liberally in contributions to
work it up and, get it in shape to
present to Congress, when, of course,
it will be consigned to the "archibes
ob grabity," never to be fished out
again in this or coming centuries.
With shrewd manipulation, however.
there will be a chance for some one
to make some cash out of the color
ed brother in the meantime.
According to the latest statistics
of cotton spindles in use in the
United States the total number is
15,497,302 as compared with 14.457.-
024 in 1899, an increase of 1,040,188
or about 7 per cent. In the South
ern States the number. Is 1,955.323
as compared with 1,598,502 an in
crease of 356,821 or about 22 per
cent, within the same time. While
there was a loss in New York, Ohio,
and Connecticut, Massachusetts
made an increase of 403,050, having
a total ot 6,308,925,- about 40 Der
cent of all employed in the United
States and more than three times as
many as are employed in the Southern
States: The striking increase'in the
number of spindles in Massachusetts
shows that.she has
ww w. UfUll'
doning cotton manufactories and
that she thinks she can hold her own
notwithstanding the increase of cot
ton manufactoires in the South and
the many advantages they have.
Speculation continues wild in the
grain centers of the West. About
the coolest man of all concerned is
the farmer who has the grain to sell.
Like Brer Rabbit, "he lay low and
say nuffin," while the other fellows
are raising pandemonium, selling
and buying wheat they haven't got
and don't want. While; some of
those speculators keep cool heads and
know what they are doing, thousands
of them show little judgment or
common sense, but buy and sell evi
dently under excitement and upon
the vaguest . rumors. Two illus
trations of this "were furnished
in
the grain market of Chicago -Thurs
aay.anain the New York cotton
market, in the former of which the
price of grain was materially ad
vanced by rumors one of which was
that the Russian fortresses wjere be
ing victualled, which was construed
as an -indication of ' imminent war,
and prices went up accordingly,,-al
though there wasn't a buyer or seller
in the pit who knew, anything about
it or had the slightest idea whence
these reports emanated or .whether
there was any foundation ; for - them.
In the New York cotton market,
where men are. not running wild,
however, the price was advanced
near the close by an article
in the Savannah JVeits emanat
ing from Mr Hunnicutt, Pro
fessor of Agriculture in the State
University, in which he estimated the
Georgia crop somewhat lower than it
had been previously estimated. He
may have been, right, he may have
been wrong. The cotton sellers and
buyeis didn't know whether he was
right or wron, but the price was
affected all the same. With the few
this future dealing may be governed
by judgment but with the majority
it is mere chance and these are the
men who get hurt and ruined in the
long run, who furnish recruits for
the mad houses and subjects for the
coroner. The coroner of Cook
county had one Thursday, when
Clark Woodman, of Omaha, de
pressed by losses on grain commit
ted suicide. There will be more of
them before the end of the craze.
If Alliance Lecturer Purvis of
Ohio, isn't too free with his ciphers
we don't see what's the use of Mc-
Kinley fooling his time away run
ning. Purvis, who says he has been
feeling the pulse of the Alliance men
and of farmers who are not Alliance
men, says Campbell's plurality will
be 100,000. He said this,too, before
Col. Brice got that English boodle
and the silk importers had raised
that $500,000 purse. With the far
mers kicking in this style,and all this
lucre thrown in to demoralize and
debauch the Republican voters, the
Democratic majority ought to be
about 150,000, more or less, so to
speak. As McKinley is counting on
a majority of about 25,000,the arith
meticians must be on a bender out
there.

"Indiana," says a McKinlev
organ of this State, "will collect
from Europe not less than sn onn
000 of the S50.000.000 that will fc-
paid for Indiana wheat this year."
x-roDaDiy tnis estimate is not far
wrong. It onlv coes to show that
it is the European market and not
the home market which keeps our
farmers alive. If it were not fnr

IS THE KAISER MAD?
If He Isn't, Stuff Idke Thia Ought to
Make Him.
Paris Cable Dispatch.
The Paris Eclair, which is rmt
given to sensationalism, prints the
following story as confirmed by un
questioned authority : On the nio-hr
of the departure of the imperial
yacnt Jtionenzoiiern from . England
the crew, was beaten to Quarters and
was surprised to find the q narter
ucms. umnanuy luuminatea. An
altar had been erected on the r1rk
bearing the Old and New Testa
ments ana the Kaiser stood by wear
ing a white chasuble with a ' r.ror.ier
in his hand and a white and black
mitre on his head. He read the most
warklike passages from the Testa
ments and invited the crew to re
spond. He then preached along ser
mon on tne duty of sovereigns to
their people, the whole service last
ing from 11 p. m. to 2 a. m. The
crew were then piped below. At 5
a. m. the ( Kaiser appeared on the
bridge in the uniform of a Hitrh Ad
miral, looking extremely haggard,
ana, aaaressing the commander, said:
"Sir, retire to vour cabin: I shall
take charge." The commander re
plied; "Sire, permit,me to observe
that we are in a dangerous ipassage,
and that it is advisable for vour Ma
jesty's safety, as well as for that of
me crew, tnat a sailor remain in com
mand." . The Emperor responded: "Never
mind. God will : inspire . me." The
commander bowed and retired.
The Second officer remained the
Emperor anerilv bade him rptii-A
the officer respectfully protesting.
The . Emperor then ; said: "You
resist, wretched creature. You trou
bled the spirit of GodJ which is in
me. This is the vengeance of God
upon you," dealing the officer a hea
vy blow on the cheek. -The officer
turned crimson, but remained until
the Emperor seized him by the throat
and tried to throw him overboard.
In the struggle that followed the
-Emperor, fell .-and : broke his knee
cap. :-' The sailors watched the scene,
paralyzed r with fear. The occur
rence was one that cannot be for
gotten. '
The Emperor howled with pain.
His eyes started from their sockets.
He foamed at the mouth. He swore
terriblyj and, in fact, displayed all
the symptoms of madness. The
officers,1 after a brief consultation,
carried him into a cabin padded with
mattresses. Nobody was admitted
except the doctor and the Empress.
Men were necessary to help restrain
him until his leg was bandaged and
a straight jacket was put on him.
The crisis lasted three days.
AS TO MORING BATHERS.
Why it is Better to Batue Just Before Go-
! - . lag to Bed.
Dr. Robert Walter, in Laws of Health.
Cold water is a narcotic, as alcohol
is. It I deadens .the sensibilities of
the skin, and hence prevents the
sensation of cold. It relieves the
disposition to chilliness because of
this deadened sensibility, and as
colds and catarrhs are due to hyper
sensitiveness of the skin, we readily
see that the cold morning bath pre
vents the cold by reducing the sensi
tiveness. But the cold morning bath does
something more. It arouses ner
vous activity by calling upon the
vital system for increased animal
heart. The contraction of the ves
sels due to the cold is followed by a
relaxation of them, explained by the
principle of reaction, and so through
the. cold both action and reaction
are established, which frequently
give delusive excitements to the vic
tim. The tepid or warm morning morn
ing bath is a great improvement over
the cold water bath, but even these
are not to be commended. Whoever
would enjoy the best of health
should take his bath two, three or
four times a week, and retire to bed
for a rest, thereby allowing nature
to secure the best equilibrium of her
forces and promote the best condi
tions of health.
But no bath should be taken while
the patient is weary from labor or
excitement. Rest is then indicated.
The bath should never be taken
on a full stomach, nor immediately
before a meal, as further power is
needed for other purposes under
such circumstances.'
HOW A KINGKEEPS COOL.
If You Tried it Perhaps You Might Keep
Cool Yourself.
Although one may not keep cool,
it is some satisfaction to read how
others manage it. There is the King
of Siam for instance. ! He is said to
have in one of his country palaces a
wonaenui pavilion, it was built by
a Chinese engineer as a refuge du
ring the extreme heat of summer.
The walls, ceiling and floors are
formed of pieces of plate glass an
inch thick. They are so perfectly
fitted together with a transparent
cement that the joints are invisible
and no fluid can penetrate. The pa
vilion is 28 feet long and 17 wide,
and stands in the middle of a hno-e
basin made of beautiful colored mar
bles.
When the Kin? enters thenavilion
the single door is closed and
cemented. Then the sluice gates
are opened and the basin is filled
with water. Higher and higher it
rises, until the pavilion is covered
and onlv the ventilators at the ton
connect it with the open air. When
the heat of the sun is so great that
the water almost boils on the sur
face of the freshest fountains this
pavilion is deliciously cool. And
this is the wavthe King of Siam cools
himself off in hot weather. It sounds
very delightful.
NAMING A TOWN.
1:h& Father of Seven Bed-Headed Sisters
Started Aubmndale.
New York Continent.
The town of Auburndale. Wis..
received its name in a peculiar man
ner. Years ago, when that section
was comparatively undeveloped and
iana was cneap, a man named King
located there and built a mill.
The place had good shipping facili
ties and the mill soon became the
nucleus of quite a thriving, bustling
little town.
Then arose the question of a name
for the embryo little city, and by
common consent the right of naming
it was conceded to the first settler.
Mr.. King. i
"The citizens wanted td call the
place King's Mills.but the old frentle-
man objected. He said he didn'j
want his name tacked on to any one
horse or two-horse village. .
"Now, the old man was the hannv
father of seven bouncing daughters,
ana me villagers suggested that the
name ot one ot them should be given
to the new town.
"This idea pleased the father as
jnuch as it pleased the seven daugh
ters, but which one of the seven
fair ones should be honored above
her six sisters? The town could not
De nanicappea with : all the seven
names. T
"Finally a happy thought struck
the old man. Every one of his
daughters was red headed. He
decided to honor them all by christ
ening the town Auburndale, and Au
burndale it remains to this day."
