Is his religion that prompts fanatical
followers of the false prophet to perio
dical seasons of uneasiness that result
In the slaughter of helpless Christian"
who may reside in the vicinity of an
uprising; It Is his professed belief that
nerved the dusky fatalists of Omdur
nion to welcome death before the
withering fire from the guns of the
lesions of Lord Kitchener. Yet while at
times apparently unable to control the
restless subjects of his own empire the
feeble monarch has wotked upon the
fears of the powers In a way that has
postponed In every Instance Individual
or concerted action in the Intciest of
reform and left him thoroughly estab
lished on the territory that all nri
anxious to acquire. The success of
this monarch, representing elements
more vicious than unalloyed paganism,
In beating back the powerful icpre
scntatlvcs of, civilization and lellglous
enlightenment, bus been one of tho
most curious spectacles of the nine
teenth century.
In his letter of acceptance, Ignatius
Donnelly, People's party candidate for
vice president, says that "the country
Is In a horrible condition." Mr. Don
nelly talks like a constant reader of
the Scranton Times.
The fact that Governor Itoosevelt Is
a hero Is, of course, displeasing to tho
average Uryan organ. Dycd-ln-the-wool
Democracy never cherished ad
miration for heroes In this or any other
generation.
s
and these caused such a howl of In
dignation that the cases wore dropped.
Vlncland citizens rcallzo that if young
people receive proper care In chlldhoort
curfew laws will be needless and that
councils can be employed In mora use
ful legislation than passing laws to
govern children.
Democratic newspapers argue that
the Republican administration has
nothing to do with the yield of wheat
nnd claim that prosperity would come
Just the same If the affairs of the na
tion were In the hands of the Demo
crats. None of them, however, make
reference to the fnct that with tha
change from Democracy to Republi
canism the price of wheat advanced
from HO cents to nearly a dollar a bus-chel.
Perils of Consular Service.
THE CASE OF Edward Gott
fried, tho former consular
ngent at PouJIllo, Peru, Is
of a nature calculated to
cause hesitation on part of ambitious
citizens who re aching for appoint
ments to foreign posts. Mr. Gottfried,
who was once a resident of Wilkes
Uarre, was ushered Into his olllclal
position with the usual pomp and cer
emony and began a career In the
South American town that was prom
ising. On nn evil day, however, the
little nation was shaken ly revolution
and the results were extremely un
pleasant. In the hour of conflict a
gang of rebels entered Gottfred's home
and demanded a number of guns and
$2,500 in cash. Gottfried protested that
ho was an American citizen, but that
was of no weight; the majority of ths
rebels had never heard of the United'
States or "Wllkes-Rarro, and they
laughed at Ihe agent as they applied
tho Implements of torture because ho
was unable to meet their demands
When the rebels were finally dispersed
and the leaders of the gang that tor
tured Mr. Gottfried had been slain, the
agent thought that he was entitled to
some compensation for the suffering!
he had undergone. He asked for
damages. The Peruvian government
refused an indemnity and the United
States otllclals have also agreed that
the Peruvians discharged their duty
towards Gottfried in killing the rebels
who hnd tortured him. "While others
receive pensions and prize money it
seems Mr. Gottfried's nraneh of ser
vice has carried no safeguards against
tinforseen conditions, and ho can only
bo comforted In the thought of having
performed his duties faithfully. The;
scenes of conlllct In China have em
phasized the perils that surround a
minister or consular official in a bar
barons country. So long as peace
reigns and the government officials are
In control the minister may enjoy the
emoluments and honors of a prince;
but at the first signs of disorder the
foreign representative generally be
comes the victim of the mob that hos
no respect for International courtesies.
Richard Croker Is as talkative these
days as a man with a suburban lot

Sultan's Silver Jubilee.
IP HE IS NOT assassinated before
that time, the sultan of Turkey
will celebrate his twenty-fifth
anniversary as ruler next Sep
tember. Abdul Hamld Is the fifth sul
tan only In the past fiOO years who ha3
not after a short administration met
a violent and premature death. Twenty-live
years is a long reign for a
Turkish ruler and tho assassin may
yet flguic In Constantinople between
this and September. Extraordinary
precautions for tho safety of the sul
tan, however, have been taken and
vigilance will doubtless be doubled as
the season of festivity approaches.
During the next few weeks It Is ex
Ufcted that plots will thicken in tho
1cinrti-iif the Golden Horn and that
tSe sliunliers of. the monarch will be
anything, but peaceful. With all of
hX1! Shortcomings the sultan of Turkey
litis displayed abilities ns a statesman
ttiid dlplomat that command the ad
inlratJQn of tho world. During the
tentyflve years of his reign Con
stantinople has been the center of
more schemes nnd Intrigue of Interest
tg tjip whole of Europe than nt any
period, of history. And In spite of tht
fact" that his country has been for
years looked upon ns tho prey of Jeal
ous .powers the wily ruler has directed
Ills Yflqves upon the diplomatic chess
lKiafd 'In such a manner as to make
Ills poJltfon more secure so far as tho
ojjtqide, wprld is concerned than at the
.iieglnnlng of his reign, a quarter of a
oent'ur ago. By tact and statesman
fthtpnjnparalleled this potentate, while
dodging tho dagger or cup of the as
J jiassln about his own fanatical house-
ytsbld has managed to keep the repre
sentatives of tho grasping powers In a
fiate of apprehension that made them
sltato at every proposed move In the
terest of a betterment of conditions
thffklngdom of oppression, and has
demonstrated tnat tne neaitn or tie
"tick, man" of Europe has been at no
time In an alarming state so far as the
interests of the sublime porte have
been concerned.
Abdul Hamld Is today the head of

The Wheat Crop.
TATIST1CIANS nssei t that the
recent icmnrknblo ilse In the
price of wheat Is not an ac
curate measure of the extent
to which this season's production will
be curtailed ns the result of the pro
tracted drought In tho northwest. At
tho high level reached this week, the
July option showed nn advance of 22
cents per bushel over tho figure of
Juno 2, when the damage- reports be
gan to come In. On the basis of the
Agriculture Iiurcnu estimates for Jim0
1 the Indicated yield was 311.000,000
bushels for winter wheat nnd 27S.000,
000 bushels for spring wheat, a total
of 619,000,000 bushels. It is calculated
by the experts whose authority Is high
est In the trade that the injury sus
tained since the first of the month will
reduce the spring crop by 90,000,000
bushels. The condition of tho winter
crop has also been lowered somewhat
and a liberal estimate would place
tho amount destroyed for the whole
harvest at nbout 100,000,000 bushels.
This, however, ns may easily bo seen,
Is by no means commensurate w 1th tho
advance which has occurred In market
prices. The value of tho crop now ex
pected, at 8S cents a bushel, exceeds
by 48,000,000 tho value of the much
larger crop Indicated on Juno 1 at CO
cents a bushel. Here, then, Is one
direct proof that the rise In the mar
ket has been out of all proportion to
tho damage done, even accepting the
very highest estimates regarding the
damage.
The above comparison brings out
what Is tho most Important point to
notice that on the strength of tho il.iti
by which tho speculation Is governed,
tlje recent rise In prices has been ex
cessive. This conclusion Is further
strengthened by applying the same
process of calculation to a compatison
with tho wheat position of a year ago.
The present yield in prospect Is some
50,000,000 bushels below what it was
then, yet with a difference of 11 cents
In tho price the speculative value of
this year's harvest Is $3:,000,ono greater.
Undoubtedly there are other factors
now which tend toward a higher level
for the market than In June, 1S31).
Europe is certain to have a smnller
production while its supplies of old
whent are about tho same, and the In
crease In our own commercial supply
Is more than offset by the decreased
Invisible stocks In farmers' hands.
Then ngaln considerable allowance
must bo made for tho Chinese troubles,
In tho knowledge that any suggestion
of a foreign war has In tho Amorloin
grain market. Rut these supplemental
Influenccs.whether Individual or collec
tive, can by no means bo said to coun
terbalance the striking discrepancy
between tho jlso In prices and the low
eilng of our production estimates.
It should be observed that the part
of the crop Involved In the drought
misfortune Is by no moans as largo as
the widespread discussion and stir
about the subject may have led the
outsider to believe. Tim damage has
been confined almost entirely to the
states of North Dakota, South Dakota
and Minnesota, tho Canadian province
of Manitoba, which has nlso suffered,
not being necessary to consider, in
1893 these throe states produced 157,
000,000 bushels, or C3 per cent, of the
actual yield of spring wheat. Hut In
cluding tho winter crop It represented
only 20 per cent, of the country's total
production. Assuming that oven tho
most pessimistic forecasts wllll come
true ,nnd that the damaged area In tho
northwest will turn out u crop of only
half last year's total, tho prospect Is
certainly not alarming n far as the
country at largo Is concerned.
Tho generous response to appeals for
aid for the starving in India has been
in keeping with the noted philanthropy
of Scranton. When bo much can be
accomplished by a small amount ot
money, the most modest conttlbutor
may feel a satisfaction that his mlto
has been effective. The demand for
help still continues, however, and
those who have not responded to re
quests for contributions moy do so at
any time through the advertised chan
nels where nld Is received.
LURING TOLSTOI WESTWARD.

Now that Generals Del Pilar, Con
cepclon, Alvntcz and others have Con

there Is no reason why tho nntls on
this side of tho water should not take

come good citizens.
The delegates at the Prohibition con
vention at Chicago are probably all
old enough to know better than to at

Insinuations against President McKIn

Mr. Bryan intimates that the en

convinced tho sixteen to one candidate
that the Democratic figurehead for
ofllce of vice president must not con

Four ticket scalpers nt Philadelphia
tho other day were fined $JC0 each but
were kept from prison through Inter
vention of tho Pennhylvunla Hnilroad
company In their behalf. The evils of
ticket scalping consist principally In
the fact that the business offers temp
tation to railroad conductors to dispose
of tickets taken up on trains to scalp
ers instead of turning them over to tho
companies. It Is said that In past a
large percentage of tickets sold by
scalpers have been acquired from dis
honest conductors rather than from
passengers who have stopped short ot
their destination. To overcome this
evil, which has resulted In enormous
losses to railroad companies nnd often
Inconvenience to buyers, the antl-scalp-lng
law was enacted In Pennsylvania.
Like the oleomargarine merchant,
however, tho railroad ticket broker has
continued in his business apparently
Impressed by the Idea that the act of
restraint upon what he regards ns le
gitimate business Is unjust. A few
doses of legal medicine will probably
remedy tho evil und render to business
of ticket-scalping too unprofitable to
be continued by many.

nothing substantial is obtainable. They
have ( arrled themselves with dignity
during their stay, and their farewell
address to tho American people serves
a polite purpose fairly well. Neverthe
less, It Is a fact that their mission has
been a failure, and should never have
been uncle i taken. Conceived In error,

o
Tho episode would be ludicrous If
It wore not pathetic. Tho idea that
this go eminent could bo Induced to
take the war off the hands of the
lioeis was wild to tho point of mad
ness, but it found lodgment In the
minds of tho Boer lenders. The moro
shame to us, it seems to have been of
American origin. A weakling Ameri
can consul nt Pretoria, and a flam
boyant wlnd-Jnmmer in (ifllcc hero who
journeyed to tho Transvaal to Inspect
tho scone of conflict, were prime fac
tors In misleading Oom Paul and his
lieutenants as to American sentiment
and hope of American relief. When
two American olllclals were found sur
rendeilng their places through their
Boer sympathies the one to return
homo to sot the government right ns
to the facts, nnd the other to take tho
platform and stir the henrts of the
people with his lung power the sim
ple burghers nnturally expected great
things of America.

But what an awakening for their en

as a partisan card against the admin
istration In the political game of the
year. Tho cry was not for liberty,

of New York, then aa now the leading federal
pocllluii in thU state, but then of more political
Influence than It Is now. The smate, however,
declined to corflrrr. him. Ills brother, Robert
P.. Itoosevelt, un.'le of the frovernor, .mcl Mill
lltliip, is a l)cmo"rat of the cold faction. He
has been prominent for many jcars in this idale
He was the first president of the Mate flshcriei
commission, and has served in loncre. and as
minister to the NetheiUnds.
Tho governor's crandfathcr, Cornelius V. S.
Itoosevelt, was noted In his diy as a merchant
and philanthropist. He had a brother, .Tames,
who long sened us Justice of the Supreme court
for the Mate. Another number of the family
of that Rcneratlon devoted his fortune to the
founding of ltooecU lirnpit.il, one of the bet
institutions of the kind in the city. Cornelius
V. S. Itoosevelt was prandson of Isaac Itoosevelt
wa.s erandson of Isaac Roosevelt, who was a
member of the Klnsston convention of 1777,
which framed the first constitution of the Mate,
and of the PoviKhkecpsie convention of 17n!,
which ratified the constitution of the I'nlted
States. He little dreamed that his preat-Kroat
Krandson would, as povernor, execute the con
stitution he helped to frame, and as vice-president
help to maintain the federal constitution
which lie, with others, ratified.
I-iae Itoosevelt was one of the lendini; citizens
of his day, and served on the committee of WO
which undertook to restore order in the city In
the troublesome time of 1775 He was for sev
eral years president of the Hank of JCcw York,
the oldest in the clt. One of his sons was a
director of the Merchants' bank nnd prominent
in the sunnr trade. Another son, Nicholas, was
an inventor and as.socl.ited with Fulton in the
first practical application of steam to navigation.
Another Itoosevelt ot a moie recent (feneration

OUR GENERALS.
SANCTUARY.
Come, love, while the llpht Is yet lowly and lary
O'er languors, of evering'B red glooms;
While still the pile disc of each delicate daisy
Has died not from pastures it plumes.
Come, hear the larue boughs of the sycamorea
quiver
With breeze that the iunsct has brought,
And watch how the iceds by (he rims of the river
To luminous ripples ore wrought.
Ureal Nature has gilt us with spells like the
greetins
Of arms that allure nnd enwrcalhe.
Her brooks in their (loving, her winds In their
fleeting,
Have grown like the breaths that we breathe.
She .Il'Iis. and we sadden; the laughs, and we
brighten-,
Her gay moods or sombre we share;
Our hope' to the rench of her rainbow can heighten.
Or turn, with her tears, to despair.
She charms, yet she chides us; denies, yet en
dows us;
And brews for us bitter with sweet;
Yet never by tawdry ptctctislon o'crbro-s us.
Nor stings us by Mcalthy deceit.
Her gilts to no caste or preferment she pinders;
Divine her democracy stays;
In sequences kinned with lnignlfiecnt candors
We search all her deeds and her days.
At last have wo changed for these pageants ot
cloudland
The pomp tint from falsity flows.
At last have we bartered the loud land, the
proud land.
Tor bournes ot relief and repose. . . .
Come, love, while the light is yet lary and

T.ta starshlne the rich blue has cleft;
Come, learn from treit Nature how lofty and

She looms o'er the life we hive left!
