The Cubans are said to be surrounded l>y Weyler's niiny, but as they were said to be suppressed over a year ,mo there is probably no cause for alarm. Spain is going to send 27,000 additional troops to Cuba. Whatfoi? Why merely to emphasize the Spanish thecry that the war down there is practically over. If Mr. Tillman possesses the least no? tion of the proprieties of the occasion lie will at'ouce proceed to South Carolina and sit up with his invalid dispensary system. New Jersey people have stopped finding fault with the South long cnougu !to se? riously consider the advisability of lynch? ing the b-utes who have been 'assaulti' g women in that State. The general government will render all ass'stance in its power to check the spread of yellow fever In the 'South and in New Orleans (specially. '.This will be done mainly through the agency ol the Marine Hospital service. The Cuban tobacco crop was said to be entirely exhausted months ago, still the snle of pure Havana (?) cigais goes mer? rily on This is ample proof that the Americans are an enterprising people and if they can't get fillers from Havana thev can easily raise them at huiim. The Standard Oil Company is rapidly absorbing all the goodness as it is all the wealth of this earth. The New York Prohibitionists have had to take a Stand? ard Oil magnate as their candidate for mayor. The Rockefeller crowd, it is evi? dent, not only have billions, but crowns, hams and haloes. The people of 'Hoauokc are evidently living cheaper this year than ever before, notwithstanding the fact that flour has r'sen to almost double its former price. The greatest quantity of farm products i s being rushed into onr market and sold at prices that hardly justify [the trouble in producing, let alone the hauling to the city. This is indeed a fanner's year. fust think of it: A wheat crop worth over (500,000,000, a corn crop worth over | $700,000,000, cotton that wil' bring over $300,000,000, oats worth $200,000,000, rye and barley worth ?70,000,000, making a grand total of nearly two billion dol? lars, with hay. eggs, fruits, vegetables and dairy products yet to be heard from. The punishment visited upon Ilarrity in Pennsylvania was well meritea. Ilar? rity has been trying to straddle the po? litical fence ever since the Chicago con? vention. He professed to be a sound money man, but supported Bryan for President. Then he began to plot and conspire to have the Democratic conven? tion of Pennsylvania dodge the currency question. For this treachery ho has been righteously fired. With the full consciousness that in .some way he is responsible for it, Mr. McKinley turns up his eyes and unctu? ously observes: "I think that tin coun? try is to enjoy a period of genuine pros peritv?not n mere speculative boom.'' Mr. McKinley knows. A grateful nation will u'o down on its knees in thankfulness to him for the famine in India, the de? stroy im.' floods in Russia und the drought in South America. Also, it will expect him to repeat these blessings next year. It is a very poor ? advance agent" that cannot arrange date.- to suit. W. P. Rend, the Chicago coal operator, isparticulatly bitter on the strike, which he calls socialism, and declares: "We tnufct strangle socialism or else socialism, at no distant day, will ruin our indus? tries and destroy our laws, our liberties and our Government." It might lie well to remind Mr. Rend that the reaction from gold contract!nn and the attempted enslavement of the ' people, if it should No Gripe When you take Hood's Tills.

The only l'Ms to take with Rood's Sarsaparllla, come through a physical revolutiou, wouhl le pretty apt to result in socialism or worse. The way to strangle socialism is to store the money of the people oud general prosperity. Concentration is a great deal in any undertaking. A woniau's non-success in sharpening a lead-pencil may be due to her not making a point of it. The New York World seems to be tur prised that "Mr. Bryan Isjjtlll a force tc be reckoned with in national politics." Quite so. What the Republican leaders accomplish by means of corruption funds the great Democratic leader accomplishes by his conservative and .statesmanlike methods and the justice of the people's cause. Out of 41,000 newspapers and periodi? cals In the world the United States bns nearly one-half, or 10,855. Thoso nearest are Germany, 5,000; ^France, 4,100: Eng? land. 4,000. Nearly 3,000,00*0,000 copies of newspapers and other periodicals are issued In the United States every year. The State of New York alone prints more papers than all the world lying south of the cquUor. Graphic Mllustrantions of the miles and miles of books girdling the earth, the mountains of magazines and papers towering high before us, and the rivers of ink and tons of type used,would add little to our conception .of the educa? tional value of books and periodical press I of the nation. In no other country are the people so well supplied with books and periodicals as the United States. The Journal is an independent newspa? per, intensely devoted to its mission as an Impartial daily historian of the times. Its opinions are not the property of any party or faction. It does not trim Its utterances nor juggle cunningly in the hope of getting on the "winning side re- J girdless of consequences,?New York Journal. This is journalism of the true standard. The newspaper that has for its aim the good of its country cannot be the slave of any party organization. Democracy in its higher and purer sense has no more earnest and intelligent exponent than the New York Journal. li is a paper that believes in the rul?* of the people. It is as fearless In denunciation of 'wrongs as it is vigorous in its attack on Republican misdeeds. Such journalism compels our respect and does a noble work is ele? vating our citizenship. There is no reason why this country should not raise all sugar it consumes. It has expended billions of dollars for foreign sugar which .should have been produced at home. Each year from ?? $100,000,000 to .$200,000a,000 Is spent for j foreign sugar. The American wheat shipped abroad this year will not pay for the sui'ar we have to export. Our wheat exports oever offset *our 'sugar Imports. We can raise sugar as well as wheat. There are hundreds of m'llioii- of acres in ttiis country well adapted to the pro? duction of 'sugar beets. Most of the world's sugar supply is produced from sugar beets, licet sogar can be produced more profitably than wheat. In parts of the West the sugar beet Industry is grow? ing, but the industry "Is yet in its in? fancy j It ought to be one of our greatest industries. Thero*is no excuse for send? ing from $100.000,0(0 to $200,000,000 abroad every year for sugar that can be produced at home. The Times is not in a position to state whether the legislative ticket named by the Democrats at tin- Salem convention will have otganized opposition. It i?, however, conceded that there will Le op? position candidates in the field. This is a free country and by complying with a very simple enactment of the law any as? pirant for legislative honors may become a candidate. Some of the Republican leaders favor putting out a straight party ticket, while others favor throwing the strength of the party to independent can? didates who miiy offer, provided they de? clare for honest election methods,be they Democrats, Populists or Republicans. If the Republicans put out a party tlcKet and make the light on party lines the Sa lent ticket will doubtless carry olT the honors, as the district can on a full vote poll a Democratic majority of about six hundred. Insuch it light the Republican majority ol Roanoke county.would prob? ably be wiped out by the Democratic ma? jority in Cratg county, and Roanoke city would become the real battle ground, with hardly a doubt as "o the result D the Republicans fail to put [out a party ticket and an independent non-partisan ticket composed of good men enter- the field, the result may he very different It is conceded by many Democrats who took an active interest in the primary cam? paign that the Salem ticket [is one ol the weakest the Democrats have ever offered the district.

BRYAN IN A WRECK, Twelve or Fifteen People Killed on the Sante Fe Road. Knusas City, Mo , Sept. !>.?A special to the Times from Kmporia, Kuh., says: One of the worst wrecks In tho history of the Santa Fe railroad occurred three miles east of here at a tout 7:30 o'clock: last night. Twelve or fifteen persons were Killed, and as many more badly hurt. The fast mail going east, and the Mex? ico and California express was being pulled by two locomot ives.und when they j struck the engine drawing the fast mail, the three engines exploded and tore a hole in the ?round s.. deep that the smok Ing car of the west bound train ran on top of the three engines and two mail cars and balanced there, without turning over. The passengers in tho smoking car escaped through the windows. The fiont end of this cur was enveloped in a volume of stilling smoke ami steam, belching up I rein the wreck below and the rear dour was jammed tight in tho Wreck ol the car behind. The wreck caught lire troni the en? gines. The cars In the hole and the smoker burned to ashes in a short time. 1 u climbing out of the smoking car sev? eral men fell tbrtugh the rifts into the wreck below, and it is impossible to tell whether they escancd or were burned to death. The west bound train carried seven or eight coaches, and its passengers include many excursionists, who had been to hear Hon. \V. J. Hryan speak at the county fair at Burliugame. Mr. Hryan himself was on the train, but was riding In the rear PuUnian, some 400 feet from the cars which were wtecked. He states that nothing but a heavy jolt was expe? rienced by the passengers in his coach. Mr. Hryan was one of the noblest men in the crowd of rescuers, lie helped to carry out the dead and wcuudfd, and gave the greatest attention to their care. One poor fellow, who was badly maimed, called to Mr. Hryan and said: "1 went to hear you to-day. lam now dying and want to shake'.your hand and say God bless you. If you possibly can, Mr. Hryan, get me a drink of water." Mr. Hryan went into the fast mail car, one end of which was burning, and came out with the water, which he i/ave to the suBerlng passenger. 'lie brought out cushions for others of the injurer, and was everywhere present to administer to the wants of the suffering. It is feared that nearly all of the seven mail iderks perished in the disaster, but so far only eight bodies have.been taken from the wreck. Those dead are Jim Brennan, engineer, Topekn; Nat Holster, fireman. Topeka; .1. F. Sonders, Kansas City, express nies Eenger, body almost, consumed by lire: R. A. Borau, Kmporia [postal [clerk; W. Gonr.ales, fireman, westbound train: un? known man, [tramp, Topeka: W. Hrag man. Among the seriously injured are Claud Holiday, Lawrence, Kansas, express mes? senger, both legs broken, will 'die; "John Dagan, Topeka, face smashed; .f. .1. But? ler, county attorney. Chase ?punty, hip broken, may die: William F. Jones, Kan? sas City, let: and a* ms broken; B. F. Metik, Atcbinon, badly bruised; Poil Sieber, Kansas City, hip crushed; "C. A. Vanvel, hrakeman, Kansas City, badly bruised, William Patrick, Kansas City, leu and arm broken; C. I). Arams, City of Mexico, painfully bruised; " Mike Swee? ney, Gainesville, Texas, back hurt. Ben Waters, St. Joseph,Mo., a fireman on the westbound train, is missing. The engineer of the westbound train had received orders to meet the fast mail at Kmporia and was making up los? time. These two [are the fastest trains on the Santa Fe "system, and the west? bound train must have been running ata speed of i:t least forty miles an hour.. The westbound express was going around a slight curve, and met the fast mail, probably within two hundred leer. Of the seven or eight cars making up the Mexico and California express, only the mail, bauuagi and express ami -look? ing cars were destroyed. The coach fol? lowing the smoker was badly splintered. There were not more than a do/.en pas sengers on the fast mail, all in one coach. While none ol them was seri? ously injured, theii shaking up was ter? rible. Rvery seat in the coach was torn from the lloor. and many floor planks came up with the seats. One man, John Sweeney, was thrown over three seats and through a window. It is staled that the wreck was caused by a miscarriage of ordors[frum the train? master. At Kmporia, the eastbound fast mail train received orders to pass the California express at^Land, [seven miles east. Another order was sent to the Cal? ifornia express to take the [siding there, but this order was not delivered, ami the west bound train passed by the siding, the train men expec ting to pass the fast mail at Kmporia.
