onfj- two she was afraid of by the
Cnneiß War, she announced her
fnlealion of being merciful to
'Ckiaa, and promptly annexed as
rxticfe of the Empire as she felt dis
posed to. She is now posing as
the friend, the merciful, magnaui
most* benefactor of the Celestial
Hctpi rt, and has placed the other
powers in tne horns of a dilemma
thereby. Either they must oppose
her, and thereby figure in China as
its adversaries —a game she played
such signal success after the
Cbiaa-Japauese war—or they must
accept her proposal, and therebv
put themselves in the position f
playing second fiddle to her lead.
In the latter case the future will

SUPPORTTHE NOMINEES.
There have been conditions and
conditions since those times, but
ever since t e would be northern
Alvas—the carpet-baggers—catne
down south just after the war with
arch determination and the em
ploying of all sorts of arts to lay
our land low that they might swim
in power and drive successfully
their game of spoliation, having
once driven these from place, the
best men of our grand southern
country have set their hands to the
task of the adjustment of our po
litical affairs so that the best re
sults for the people might accrue,
and that much has been accom
plished is common cause for grat
ulation.
The main idea of today is that
intelligence and rectitude must di
rect public affairs and this idea is
intended to apply to all positions
from the highest to the lowest.
The democracy has met shifting
problems with a courageous front.
The white primary has been insti
tuted as the cleanest and best
method of choosing candidates.
That the question of the wisdom or
unwisdom had been well canvassed
in the minds of the voters and the
inode considered commendable is
well attested by the large number
of voters w’lio participated, and
among them those formerly affiliat
ing with other oarties.
The primary has not been sub
jected to special attack, the few
faint objections have been easily
dissipated, and it stands, therefore,
a practically unchallenged proce
dure.
It is not the Courant American’s
purpose in this connection to draw
distinctions between candidates,
though we feel free to say that we
would have been glad that the
nominees had not have had oppo
sition. That they have should
only buoy the friends of the prim
ary to greater efforts. The inde
pendent candidates may be as good
men as those they oppose on the
nominated ticket, but we haven’t
time and the occasion doesn’t here
present itself to discuss this phase
of the question, for we consider
that a principle is involved and
that principle is on trial, and the
thought of every participant in the
primary should be directed at this
fact. It is embraced in two prop
ositions. The first of these is the
mode of choosing candidates —the
white primary. Having had a
large preliminary endorsement it
is to stand or fall before the full
popular vote. Asa possible con
summation of all previous effort
for better methods it were unineas
urably better it had never been
proposed than to be rejected before
it had a fair test, and the reaction
following such a contingency might
work calamity that years of future
effort could not overcome. If the
move is one for better things in
public affairs it should be general
ly sustained. The second proposi
tion is the obligation. The voter
who went into the primary did so
under prescribed rules pledging
him to “support the nominees,”
and whatever his affiliations for
merly have been, whether he be a
democrat, a populist or republican,
he is in duty bound to support
those nominees. Surely no one
will stop to weigh the force of a
solemn obligation against a mere
personal appeal ?
Some who even voted in the pri
mary have allowed indifference to
gather zeal and have said, in so
many words: “Away with the
piimary! what is it anyway?”
Shades of the mighty! has it come
to this, that men can so little re
gard a pledge ?
A truth is as strong at one time
as another, and that disintegra
tion, given an ascendancy un
checked, might bring ill® that we
have not dreamed of and that it is
a step fraught with danger at this
time is an everlasting truth.
Next Tuesday is the election,
and every democrat should be astir
j and do his duty.
GRAIN AND COTTON CROP RE
PORTS.
In the government crop report,
issued last Monday, says the Chic
ago Record, wheat, corn and cot
ton are all recorded as showing a
condition considerably below the
average of the preceding ten years,
and the effect upon the values of
these commodities in the markets
of this country has been an appre
ciable advance.
The conditition of wheat at har
vest, including both winter and
spring, is given as 69.6. This is
more than eleven points below the
average since 1890, which has
been 80.9. Nevertheless, there is
still a sufficient supply of wheat
represented by these figures to in
sure ample flour for the nation’s
daily bread, and there will even be
a moderate surplus for foreigners
who may be willing to pay a rea
sonable price for it. On the basis
of four and one-half bushels of
wheat to each inhabitant, estima
ting the total population at 75,000,-
000 persons, the requirements of
the United States would be 337,-
500,000 bushels, Allowing 50,-
000,000 bushels for next year’s
seed, the amount needed to carry
us through to another crop would
be 387,500,000 bushels. Experts
calculate that the government’s
figures and the known acreage har
vested will result in a crop of about
485,000,000 bushels, so that we
shall have nearly 100,000,000 bush
els of the crop of 1900 to sell to our
foreign friends or to keep in our
bins for another year. The fact
that the exports are large just now
indicates that the farmers will be
able to count upon good prices for
their wheat, while there seems to
danger of a situation that will run
the price of bread above the usual
figures.
Corn also shows a falling off in
condition, which is reported as 80.6.
The average for ten years has been
80.7. It is calculated that the
crop, if there be no alternation be
fore it is harvested, will amount to
about 2,000,000,000 bushels, which
is not so far away from an average
as to indicate much change
from an average price.
Present figures for corn are fairly
satisfactory to the farmer, and there
is nothing in this feature of the
report \o threaten a change in the
existing prosperity of the country.
As heretofore reported in the
Record the condition of cotton was
know to be low, but it was suppos
ed that the good weather of Aug
ust would result in an improve
ment of Sept, i compared with the
condition reported on Aug. i. The
failure of the leport to show
a gain implies a smaller
crop than the average, and there is
yet to be taken into account the
damage that may have been done
to the plant in Texas by the storm
of last Saturday. Planters who
save any considerable part of a
crop, however, will probably get
nearly as much for it as they would
ordinarily receive for a larger
yield, because the shortage of the
world in this staple has already
caused an unusual advance in the
price.
Taking the amount of our ciops
and the price obtained for them to
gether, therefore, it is reasonable
to expect that the producers of the
country, as a whole, will get a fair
return for their labor.
The man who voted in the pri
mary should remember the pledge
under which he voted and cast his
ballot for the nominees.
The nominated ticket is good
enough for anybody, and even
those who didn’t vote in the prim
ary may vote it without regret.

T 0 LEAVE PEKIN.
Chinese Capital an Empty Prize.
Wilson’s Raid.
Chicago, Sept. 23. —The Record
has the following from Pekin under
date of Sept. 16th, via Taku, Sep
tember 22d, and Shanghai, Sep
tember 23d:
Changes in the plans of the allied
commanders indicate the evacua
tion of Pekin before the winter sets
in. The British leaders have coun
termanded the order for extensive
supplies, and the Americans are
also making preparations for de
parture. At the same time, all of
the foreign residents have been
warned to prepare to leave Pekin.
The German legation will soon
move elsewhere, and the Russians
are already withdrawing to Tien
and different stations in Machuria.
It is also esteemed likely that the
Japanese will make the town of
Nagasaki their winter base, instead
of some Chinese towns, as was
originally their intention.
From north China come reports
ol a long series of disturbances.
The attempted control of the local
authorities there is synonymous
with anarchy and the country is
only safe where floats the allied
flags. Natives are attacked and
besieged in many different places
in the province of Chi Li. The
allies are beginning to realize that
the city of Pekin is, after all, an
empty prize. Communication be
tween the foreign forces and en
voys and the empress’ government
is next to impossible. The new
c pital in the province of Shan Si
is 400 miles from Pekin, and the
j >urney has to be made by cart,
which requires at least sixty days.
There has been a change in the
American front in the direction of
an aggressiveness which will prob
ably be the last important move be
fore the evacuation. Gen. Wilson,
with 800 United States infantry,
marched against the Boxer city of
Pei Ta Chau, sixteen miles north
west of Pekin, and surrounded it
with the intention of capturing an
important arsenal there.
A courier today reports that
General Wilson’s attack was suc
cessful from the start. There were
no losses on the foreign side. Ef
forts at pacification have resulted
in the return of a small number of
people to business. The jealous
guarding of the Forbidden City bv
the allies makes the Chinese be
lieve that the foreign leaders are
afraid to le .ve it.
American authorities intend to
urge the severe punishment of tne
persons guilty of the Pao Ting Fu
murders, vengeance will, if they
can effect it, be exacted for the
slaughter of the Simco and the
Pitcairn party.

Questions Answered. 9
Is there any objection to
peach trees on newly cleared land?
Ans. In my opinion newly

trees if other good peach land i>
ble. Land should be cultivated ar
two years after clearing before p.auM
it in orchard. B
The reason: New land cannot be
erlv prepared for the reception uf

trees. Thorough preparation of B
ground before planting is one ofß
essential factors in fruit growing. EB
preparations before planting and .via-B
cultivation afterwards is the rule- IB
Furthermore, trees planted on <B
laud are subject to the attacks of ’B
mites or “wood-lice,” as they are
