maximum of 98, and a minimum of 55
degrees, the former al BUoktillo, the

Tbe week was rainless. The ground
hat again become too dry for plowing,
and but little oats or wheat seediog his

Corn ie being housed, aod now it is
eertain that lese than half a orop will

failure.
Ootton pioking made favorable pro*
grass, aod from half to seven-eighths
of tbe orop has been gathered. Yields
ars estimated at from half to osarly
three fourths an average orop Many
oorreepondents etate that picking will
be praetieally completed by Oot 15th,
whieh is uouasually early, due to tbe

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, Oct i?There will
be a democratic majority of not less
than ten in tho next house That ie
the way the democratic congressional
campaign oommittee figures it out,
nnd in doing the figuring allowance
has been made for every reasonable
contingency Republicans privately
admit that these figures are very
conservative, and that they have
almost given up hope of retaining
control of tbe house, unless there is
a change in public sentiment amout
ing almost to a stampede before
election day. Even the republican
congressional committee has not
been' patting out any claim, except
in the most perfunctory way, of a
republican majority in the house.
On tbe contrary, its chairman, Rep
resentative Babcock, has been pre*
paring his petty for defeat. * Among
the contingencies allowed for by tbe
democratic oommittee are loss of
seats in New York end Pennsylvania,
which tbe party managers in those
steten are confident of saving.
Mad as the repoblioen lesdere are
with tbe lost of power and conquest,
end es determined ae they ere to try
to turn this liberty loving republic
into a world conquering empire
founded oo no higher principles than
that wbioh dominated the derk ages
of youth?"might makes right"?
they do not dare to pnblioly proclaim
that purpose ee plainly as Ex Con?
gressman Dongan, of Ohio, once e
democrat, did in a speech made in
Washington, in which he attempted
to justify Mr McKinley end bis im?
perialistic policy in the Philippines.
The following sentence from Mr
Doogen's speech reveals the true
inwnrdnees of the republican policy,
which they have been so anxiously
trying to conceal by general talk
about bettering tbe condition of tbe
poor natives and improvement in
Amerioan oommeroe : "In my opin
ion, title is fixed only by the survival
of tbe fittest, and that is why
America is going to role the earth "
In other words, no people's title to
their own country is good against
the greed end avarice of a stronger
country. Surely e majority of
Americans are not willing to enter
the 20th Century championing auch e
doooment
Representative Livingston, of
Georgia, thus sums up the ettitude
of tbe two parties towards trusts :
"In e reoent spsecb made by Senator
Beveridge, this statesman says that
tbs republican party, as well as the
democratic party, is opposed to
trosta, only the republican party
proposed to limit end regulate trusts,
while the demooretic party would do
nothing. Now. this statement was
msde to intelligent people If th\e
is so, bow could Mark Henna go to
Baltimore aod get from the troete of
tbet city alone $80.000, while Bryan,
even bed he tried, could nnt have
got 80 oeota. Senator Banna ban
ssid tbere ere no trusts lie knows
nnd so does every thinking men or
woman that this is false Here is
evidence of tbe ttusts. This yeer it
tekea 50 per cent more wheat to buy
a plow than it did last yeer. It
tekss 20 per cent more corn nnd it
tekes from $4 to $4 50 e month more
to live oow tbao it did a year ago.
Why ia this ? It is because of tbe
trusts "
How desperste the repoblioan
managers are getting may be judged
from their having ordered the parly
press to try to make political capital
out of i'ae experience of Teddy iu
Colorado
Wheu tbe navy department reject
ed tbe bids for armor for wawhips,
put in by the armor trusts, and
announced that Secretary Long would
exercise the authority conferred upon
him by congress to establish an
armor making plant, if better bids
were not submitted, it was predict?
ed that the armor trusts would get
tbe contracts, if they made a satis
factory contribution to the republican
campaign fund That prediction is
iu a fair way to be verified Secte
tary Long has been dickering with
the agents of the trusts, sod it is offi
cialy announced that he expects to
mske a satisfactory contract with
them for the armor, which doubtless
means that Hanna has already made
e satisfactory arrangement with them
for campaign contributions
The Chinese minister to tbe United
States having succeeded so well in
getting the administration to act io
accordance with his private advice
baa gone a step further and is now
giving the administration public
advice through tbe medium of news
paper interviews He wants this
government to set aa mediator be
tween the powers and China, and
says if it doesn't, it may in the end
find itself shut out of China com
mercially That "chink" has got
nerve to thus threaten the man who
has been as friendly to bim and bis
government as Mr McKinley has
beeu
Lookout for preposterous republican
claims Orders have gone out from
republican national headquartera to
the party newspapers to print con
tinually and conspicuously during the
three weeks previous to the election
paragraphs claiming states enough to
give McKinley 25 or 30 more clec
torai votes than he had in 189b'. Tbe
idea is said to be that such wholesale
claims persistently made, will catch
voters who wish to be on tho win?
