The constitution should not be torn to
pieces or a new one made, as might be
done if a convention is held. A consti
tution should be a growth, improved
and altered only asitl-ecomes necessary.
Our constitution provides a safe way of
doing this without running any risks.
We shouldn't throw away the experience
and interpretations of seventeen years,
but amend with a view of retaining the
benefit of the decisions of the courts.
Generally speaking, a new constitution
should only le made at the founding or
creation of the state. I think you will
find that the railroads are all in favor of
a convention. They hope in some way
to get article 17, so obnoxious to them
and which causes them so much trouble

The second monthly public debt state
ment says the New York, World for the
current fiscal year is issued. Mr. Foster,
pursuing the 6ame disingenuons policy
that characterized his bookkeeping a
month ago, claims, a net balance of
$155,7S3,715,V0.
Speaking of the July statement, the
World predicted that the expenditures
for that month would greatly exceed the
Government's revenues. That predi
tiou has been abundantly verified. Dur
ing the month the expenditures exceed
ed the receipts by $3,419,306, and the
excessive out-go was not for pensions,
but for what may be called themiscelan
eous extravagance of the Billion-Dollar
Congress.
The result is that the public debt has
been increased b' nearly $G,000,000, and
the increase will be even larger by the
end of August. The - Treasury, in other
words, is running behind. Mr. Foster
knows that he has not an available bal
ance of $155,000,000, but that his own
blind report shows, on its surface, a bal
ance of only $1,278,405.55, while doubt
less, if the truth were known, there is no
balance at all.
At all events, at this downward rate,
when Congress meets it will be called
upon to raise money for the current ex
penses. Blaine seems to have become a Re
publican fetich, says the New York
TiiiXts the one hAMe with which the J
party can conjure up something of its
old-time spirit. It isditlicult to account
for its strange phenomeon. In part it
seems to le due to admiration for that
"aggressiveness" which hasalwaws been
his chief characteristic. In some meas
ure it may be accounted for by the pre
vailing impatience with the' mixture of
iuertness, craft and hypocrisy that
characterizes the Harrison administra
tion. In fact, the unpopularity of Har
rison and the conviction that the choice
of a candidate for the next national
campaign lies between him and Blaine
may be the inciting cause for a renewal
of enthusiasm for the latter. There is
probably beneath this a strong feeling
that if Harrison is renominated theparty
will be defeated, and that il Blaine is the
candidate there is a possibility of success
a possibility that no other nomination
could create.
The suit brought by the state against
the county of Philadelphia, 6ays the
Philadelphia Jiecord, for the recovery of
funds belonging to the state which were
misappropriated by John Bardsley will
probably turn altogether upon the point
whether the money in question came
into Bardsley'6 possession by virtue of
this official relation as agent of the
state. He was under bond to both 6tate
and county for the faithful performance
of his duty, and dealt with both di
rectly, as authorized by statute. The
question raised by this litigation is im
portant, and the tangled point of re
spons ihllity which the courts will have
to determine is not without diflieulty.
The amount of money in dispute Is BO
considerable as to seriously affect both
city and state finances. This considera
tion makes the early determination of
the matter very desirable.
The junior Senator of Pennsylvania
says the Harrisburg Patriot is a self-confessed
rascal. Since the day he lay in a
Harrisburg hotel wondering whether it
would be easier to cut his throat, jump
into the Susquehanna, have the money
stolen from the state made good, or face
the truth before an indignant people he
has never shown sign of contrition. He
had a lucky escape then and his con
science has never since been allowed to
renew its tortures. At intervals he has
shammed modesty and made a pretense
of resieeting public opinion, but he has
never for one moment forsaken his wick
ed ways nor forgotten his unlawful prac
tices. Yet the junior Senator of Penn
syivania will, within a few days, direct
the 450,KK Republican voters of Penn
sylvania w hat names they shall place on
their state ticket what resolutions they
shall adopt, what declaration of princi
ples they shall subscribe to!

It is not probable in view of Mr.

people" that either he or his friends will
make any very pronounced efforts to
assist in electing the author of the bill

The administration is scattered around
rather promiscouslv this week, and

retary Foster was the last to go, and be- 1 derful that many doubted the truth of
fore going he denied that he would be- them. To-day comes the report of
come a cadidate for the Senate in case
Sherman withdrew. Notwithstanding
his denial there are good reasons for the
belief that he is now in Ohio laying wires
to do that very thing.
Democrats here are greatly pleased to
hear from Republican sources that Sen
ator Quay proposes to manage the Re
publican campaign in Pennsylvania this
year and that in his efforts for vindica
tion he may even become chairman of
the Republican State committee. Noth
ing could be better for the Democrats
than this program and the only fear is
that it may not be carried out. The
fact has been recognized by the Demo
crats ever since the carnival of Republi
can hnancial crookedness,
begun by
Delamater and not ended by Treasurer
Bardsley though he is the last one that
was caught, that the Democratic party
has a good fighting chance to carry
Pennsylvania this year, and that chance
will certainly be greatly improved if the
man who was forced out of the chair
manship of the Republican National
Committee in defference to the openly
expressed sentiments of prominent news
papers and men in his own party shall
attempt to openly manage the Republi
can campaign.
The meeting of the Executive commit
tee of the National Association of Dem
ocratic clubs, which is to be held next
week in New York city, was called to
hear reports as to the progress made in
organizing new clubs and to discuss
ways and means of increasing the rapid
progress already made. Secretary Gard
ner said: After our meeting the Presi-
dent of our Association, Hon. Chauncey
F. Black, of Pennsylvania, will staA
upon a tour of Ohio, IndianA, Iowa and ?
tm:..:, . ' . .i. I
Illinois, his purpose being to strengthen
our organization in those States. Our
meeting will have no bearing on the in
terests of any Presidential candidate.
and under our present constitution w!1D puysicians nave Deen utterly unawe
are obliged to confine ourselves to the
ariff as the leading t-suc".
Mr. Clarkson thinks to fool the Dem- '
oerats by giving it out in newspaper in
terviews that the Republican National
committee will take no part in the State
campaigning this year, but he makes a
mistake as big as a house. The Demo
crats know that Mr. Clarkson's commit
tee is already taking quite an extensive
part in the campaign in Ohio and Iowa,
in addition to its laborious duties in
pushing the Blaine and Alger Presiden
tial ticket through the National League
of Republican clubs, of which Mr. Clark
eon is president, and also that it is en
gaged in hustling among the protected
manufacturers for contributions to the
big corruption fund which it has been
decided to raise.
Payments made on account of pen
sions since the first of the month foot
up $7,500,000, which brings the Treasu
ry very near to the deficit point again,
although by the juggled figures the sur
plus is shown to be iu excess of $!S,0u0,
000. Commissioner of Immigration Owen,
who made the break of writing a letter
saying that Welch tin plate workers
could be brought to this country under
contract, can make no more such errors,
as an official order has been issued by
the Treasury department stating that all
decisions relating to immigration will be
made by Assistant Secretary Nettleton.
This reduces Owen to a mere clerkship,
and if he was a man of independence he
would throw up the position. m.
A W oman's Revenge.
Kansas City, August 11. Richard M.
Juvenal's residence in Kansas City, Kan
sas, was wrecked by an explosion of dy
namite late last night.
In the house at the time were Juvenal,
his wife and her sister, Mrs. Ricketa, and
her three children. Mrs. Rick td was
struck by a falling picture and received a
severe scalp wound. The other occu
pants received a severe shaking up, but
fortunately escaped serious injury.
The explosion was a loud one, and its
force was felt fully ten blocks away,
many windows being broken. From all
accounts the deliberate attempt to blow
up the residence was made by a woman,
as she was seen to enter and leave by the
front gate a few minutes before the ex
plosion occurred. Mr. Juvenal, who
had twice been married, said that while
he was getting a divorce from his first
wife he kept company with Mis Paff
mann, and that when she learned he
had married again she sent him letters
threatening to blow up his residence.
Miss Paffmann, who is suspected, has
not yet been located by the police.

Fort Doixje, la., August 10. David
King, an Algona fanner who was bun

commonly reputed to ha a shrewd man,
King was easily persuaded to draw $2,-

three card monte game. King asserts
jtositively that some mysterious force was
brought to bear upon him. The confi
dence men are under arrest at Algona,
and a full investigation of their methods
will be made.

tr. TaUL. Aug. V. The past four days
have been th hottest experienced in
Minnesota and the Dakota since, Aug
ust, 1SS0. The thermometer has regis
tered from 8S to 08 degrees in the shade
in Minnesota, and has run up to from
105 to 111 degrees in the Dakotas. In
North Dakota there is great alarm about
the crop of hard wheat, which cannot be
harvested for two wee'iS. The dreaded
hot winds Jhat have shriveled up the en
tire Northwestern crops for the past two
years were felt there to-day. The three
days before were almost equally hot, the
mercury ranging from 94 to VH degrees
in the bhade.
The heated wave has prevailed over
the entire state of North Dakota as far
as heard from, and is also reported as
being left to an equal extent in South
Dakota. . The .fears, are. that the too
rapid ripening and consequent shrink
ing of berries will be sufficient to make
the entire yield an off grade, if nothing
worse happens to it. The crop is in a
critical state, and much anxiety is mani
fested as to the outcome. Up to three
days ago no more favorable conditions
could have prevailed, but the unexpect
ed hot winds have upset all colculations.

different members of the party, and
finally at Miss Williams. As she did so
the revolver was discharged, the ball en

by his wife, Barbara, on Thursday night
in front of his place of business. The
couple have not lived happily together
for some time.
Charles, although a meek-looking in
dividual, is something of a Lothario in
disposition and has figured in more than
one domestic tragedy. He had only
been divorced from hia first wife a few
weeks when he eloped with Barbara
Stechinger. He has treated her badly
ever since and frequently insulted her in
public. She concluded to square mat
ters with him and resorted to the horse
whip. A large and enthusiastic crowd
collected on the corner and cheered the
irate wife on to victory .

For the Fame reason you don't tie your bon to an empty man
ger for months at a time, you don't want to put in your wheat
this fall without an ample quantity of food enough to grow a
full crop of wheat and succedlnfr grass.
To supply this plant-food in the proper shape is our business.
We say jrrvier shape because most anybody can mil a little South
Carolina Rock and Paint together and call It fertilizer; but twenty-three
years' experience at the business, with our complete fa
cilities has enabled us to make fertilizers that will produce the de
Sired results. There isn't any question about it. You will say so
too, if you have used our goods, and if you haven't, you can get
them and all desired information from our agents. The Thomas'
Phosphates are standard and thoroughly guaranteed.
