The matchless oratory of all the speakers was frequently interrupted by prolonged applause. Harman and Ikeler made the principal speeches. Polk and Creasy made but short ad dresses, as their principals are chrystal- ized in official acts, tar.d recorded in history. The long continued drought and hot weather have so depleted the water supply that it almost borders on a water famine. The stagnant con dition of the water renders an un healthy season for the people. The threatening attitude of the clouds for the last few da)s dropped but little rain, scarcely enough to lay the dust. Yet withal the dry weather, the farmers have no cause for complaint, as their crops are up to the usual average, with the exception of hay and wheat. The latter, however, is short, only by reason of the Hessian fly. Apples and other fruits were largely affected by dry and hot weather. The former inclined to speedy and pre mature rot; while other fruits, in the course of development were consider ably shriveled and under size. The nut crop is also a dismal fail ure hereabouts. A great deal of the timber shows signs of dying by reason of the drought. The garbage of the foliage is bereft of its usual beauty of tinted colors, so many of the leaves drying up before ripening into autum nal beauty. The early seeding has not develop ed into much of a top for winter pro tection, and the late sowing is not yet up; and the presumption is that before long the farmers will again raise the cry of starvation. A great deal of indisposition, bord ering on disease and sickness, is pre valent generally in our community. Mark Hanna said that "Demo cratic" victory was worse than the Galveston disaster." True, a Demo cratic cyclone would sweep Hannaism, McKinleyism and the trust magnetism from the face of the earth and dump them all into the vortex of Imperial ism. No wonder Mark is alarmed at the rumbling and gathering of the coming stoim. But after the sweep of the storm, the plain people will all be left unharmed. Mark begins to see the handwriting on the wall, and that judgment day is a fearful event to contemplate. But the people only laugh when their calamity cometh and mock when their fear haunteth. Already he cries for the mountains of boodle to fall upon him to hide him and them from the wrath of the people that threaten them on every side. Judgment day is near at hand, and it won't come in the middle of the night either. The Beishline traction steam thresh er is kept very busy among the farm ers in our locality.
