eond a special mesBago to Congrcsa in
a few days, atrongly recommending
legislation for tho appointmont of a
coramission to investigato and roport
upon the roform neoded in our proaont

tho oxpectation that tho matter will bo

for tho purposo of gotting it '.beforo tho

It is protty thoroughly undoratood that

N. B. Scott, tho "West Virginia
membor of tho Hcpublican National
Commitleo, aays he has information
that tho big Btriko in tho coal minca is
part of a Democratic achemo to carry
Ohio. Ho says tho idea of tho DcmO'
cratic inatigators of the strlko is that it
will cut oS tho aupply of coal and result
in at lcast a partial paralyaia of tho big
manufacturing industries of Ohio
Then thoy will charge tho Eopublican
party with tho responsibility for that
condition of affairs and will make an
attempt to hold up Senator Hanna aa
an oppressor of labor. Mr. Scott added
that he did not believo tho echcmo
would auccoed, and that the Btrikos
would do tho Republicans of Ohio little,
if any harm.
The protoBt entered by Japan
against the annezation of Hawaii by
the United States ia by no meana aa
menacing as many of the opponenta of
annexation imagine it to be, or would
like to conatrue it. It is by no means
an ultimatum, and the slate depart
mont at Washington haa aent to Japan
an answer which ought to convince
those in authority that Japan haa no
rights in Hawaii that will be really ab
rogatod, and that tho condition of tho
JapB there will be as favorable after an
nexation, as they aro now. There ia
no poasiblo danger of any war with
Japan on this isaue, and all the United
States has to do in the matter, and in
deciding the queation, is to consult the
best interests of the people of thia
country.
HON. WlLUAH H. FLEMINQ Of Au
gusta, Ga., ia one of the now members
Xrom tho South who appeara to be un
fettered by party prejudice, and whose
patriotiam 1b broad enough to enable
him to rlse above the dictates of party
creed. A recent apeech of Mr. Flem
ing in the House had no uncertain
Bound in regard to his views of the
duty and neceaaity of congresa man
fully meeting and solving the grave
questiona of political economy that aro
knocking at ita doora and demanding
an adjuslment that shall be equitable.
Mr. Flemlng declared hia beliof that
the dictates of party loadera ahould be
ignored, if ncceaaary, to bring indua
trial happinosa. Mr. Fleming'a intel
lectual attainmenta enable him to rca
son intelllgently, and he evidently haa
the courage of hia convlctiona and acta
upon right conclusions.
Williau J. Bryan has boen travel
ing through the South in palace cars
hitched to special trainB, and haa do
lirered addreaaos beforo aevoral edu
cational instltutlons in the southland.
In a recent apooch beforo tho literary
Bocietiea of tho Univeraity of Virginia
he said: "The one need ofthe peoplo
is a currency good everywhere which
will not fluctuato in value, and which
is aa good aa any othor in the world."
If Mr. Bryan ia in oarnoat, such a
thoory puta him in the front rank of
the gold atandard men. Gold, or
monoy that ia its equivalent, 1b the
only currency which would meot tho
tost and requiromonts of auch a atato
ment. Tho monoy which novor can
be made to meet any such requlre
ments is allver at tho ratio of 10 to 1.
ABsuming that Mr. Bryan was in earn
ost whon he mado such a atatomont,
thore. Ib an irroconcllablo conflict bo
tweon such a position and tho one he
took when ho stumped the country last
fall, By duch atatemonta aa the one
abovo quotcd, Mr. 13ryan vlrtually ad-
mlta that his spocches in tho fall of
1600, woro tho rnnkcst and wildcet
kind of nonsenso.
On July 1 tho Fopo Manufacturing
Company, tho largcst manufacturors of
bicycloa in tho world, announcod a ro
duction of pricoa in tho 1807 hlgh grado
Columbia bicyclo from $100 to S7C.
Such an.announcemont ia important, for
tho roaaou it moans that tho high
priccd ora in bicyclcs has como to an
ond. With tho Columbia aold at that
prico all high grado whocls must soonor
or lator como to that lovel. Tho mar
kct, in tho paat, has bocn dolugod with
choap, unrcliablo and worthlcss whcolfi.
A majority of ridora want good, atrong
blcycloB and aro willing to pay a fair
prico for thom, bnl thoy have conclud
cd that 100 ia osccsaivc and tho mak-
ora arc coming to thoir torma. Tho
only thing that can ovor, in tho futurc,
bring tho prico of bicyclca back to
what it haa boon in tho paat will bo
radical improvomonta. If, for oxam
plo, a succos8ful chainleas bicyclo could
bo put on tho markot, which was of
solid conatruction and simplo roliablo
movomont, it would probably aoll for
8100. Tho popularity of tho bicyclo
incroasca ovcry ycar and no ono can
forctoll tho llrnit to ita uae, providing
tho pricca aro maintained at reaaonablo
lovola. It ia in a largo moasuro a lux
ury tranaformod into a nocoaaity, and
thouaanda of peoplo tho world over
would foel ita loaa moro than tho com-
munlty in genoral would fccl tho losa
of tho clectric car.
Tho Ohio Democratic Courentlon,
Tho BO-callcd Democratic party in
Ohio held a atato convention at Colum-
bua last wook, reafllrmed tho Chicago
platform and capocially cndoraod ita
froe silver planks. Tho apccchca mado
at this convention by tho loadera of tho
party ahow a detormination to conteat
the coming campaign on tho monoy ia
buo, rogardlosB of any atato qucations
that may nood conaidcration.
Tho convontion waa, in fact, a ram
pant demonBtration for .Bryan. Ohio
is tho homo of groonbackism and of
cheap monoy heretica, and although it
is McKinloy'a own Btato, the voters
have never outgrown thoir fondnoaa
for financial Bchemea which aro puroly
viBionary.
The coming campaign in Ohio will
doubtlcss be one in which braaa banda
and torch-light processiona, clubs and
brickbats and spread eaglo oratory will
form no unimportant part. It will be
moro than lively. Mark Hanna ia out
for a aenatorahip, and Horace L. Chap
man, the candidate for gorernor, iB a
rich and popular business man. The
governorship of Ohio, however, is
something of an anomaly. It carries
few appointments, ia hedged in by
many reatrictiona, and is of apparently
little conaequence except as a stepping
atono to a national ofllco.
Tho republicana of the country will
watch with no little intereat tho battlo
that ia sure to be waged in that state
thia fall between the ailver and the
gold democrata. The former are at
preaont of the opinion that they will
have a walk over, but the gold demo
crata have announced their intention
to have a ticket of their own in the
fleld which will leave a divided demo
cratic vote, white that of the republican
party will be united. Though tho gold
atandard democrata will nominate can
didates for the legialature it ia ovidont
that they do not expect to triumph.
They are avidontly fighting for princi
ple, whilo the silver democrats are out
for the apoila. The gold forces will
count it a victory if they relegate to
the background those candidates who
hava ondoraed the Ohicago platform of
repudiation and riot.
Beet Suprar.
The laat legialature of Now York ap
proprlated $10,000 to promote tho cul
ture of beet augar, a bounty will be
paid on the crop, and tho atato is losing
no time in gotting down to buaineaa in
encouraging the production of thia
staple within ita bordera. The State
department of agriculture haa located
flfteen farma in thirteon differont
countiea in which to make teats. The
ownera of the land are paid $25 for its
uae. They aro roquired to make
weather obaorvationa threo timea a day
and aond weokly reporta to the Stato
bureau. Tho seed of tho augar beet ia
aupplled thom free of cost, and whon
tho crop is harvostcd the Stato will
havo on hand a fund of informa
tion on sugar beet raiaing in that
Stato that will bo of intoreat outaide ita
bordera. There aro, at preaent, in the
Unitod Statea ten boet augar manufac
turiea, flve in California, two of which
are in process of eroction; two in Ne
braska, one in New Mexico, one in
Utah and ono in New York. The lo
cation ot these largo factories in any
stato is a great advantago to tho farm
ora, aa it largely increaaea tho popula
tion and adds to tho demand for other
articloa produced on the farm. In
Germany, Franco, Auatria, Itussia,
Belglum and Holland thero are ovor
flftoen hundred great factories dovoted
to the manufacture of beet augar, and
in cllmate or soil no one of those
countrlca poaaces nnything not found
in tho Unitod States.
That tho Unitod States scnds abroad
ovory ycar moro than ono huudrod mll
lion dollars for augar which ahould bo
kopt at homo and go into tho pocktta
of farmora,factory workora and manufac
turors givoa moro than ordinary intor
eat to tho oxporimont now golng on in
Now York, and tho roBult will bo
watchcd with tho kcenoat intoreat.
Should it provo aa auccoasful in Now
York as it now promisos, othor com
monwcaltha will not bo alow in follow
ing tho oxamplo aot by tho Empiro
Stato.
Tho fact that Sonator Alliaon, in be-
half of tho Senato Financo Committco,
introduccd laat Saturday an amcnd-
ment to tho tariff bill providing for
paymont of a bounty to producora of
boot sugar in tho United States, givos
addltional intoreat to tho aubjcct at this
timo. Tho amcndmcnt atipulatoa that
tho bounty shall bo ono-fourth of ono
por cont por pound, and that it shall bo
paid on sugar produced frombeeta from
July 1, 1808, until July 1, 1003.
Tho mattor wont ovor for conaidora

surprlao to tho Sonators and Sonator
Jonoa of Arkansaa charactorizod it aa

Despite tho extreme heat of Sunday even

venerable Dr. Hamlln, who gave a very ln
tereatlng talk on the mlssionary cause in
