AN OLD NEW TOKK STORY Boom I Boom I Boom I A few momenta before New Amster dam was as quiet and peaceful as the lazy wito clouds drifting up from the sea on that perfect May morning; now all was bustle and clamor, every stal wart burgher and buxom vrow in the primitive town having an opinion and claiming the floor or the street, rather. Boom I Boom I Boom! Dame Wlnkhoven said it was tlio Quakers, and proceeded to takb in her "wash" at a lively rate. Jacob Groot's boy Flip, whose knowl edge of warfare was most profound (all of his spare moments having been upent in the neighborhood of tlio crum bling Fort Amsterdam), gave it as his opinion that old" "Hard Kiss," the dis mantled stonepteco on tlio southwest bastion, must havo been cost in the samo mold as tlio guns wnicn were thundering in tlio Narrows, but as ho had not had an opportunity to hear "Hard Kiss" sinco the Indian massacre of 1G43, four years provious, ho was told to hold his tongue. Flip didn't cry ho didn't even pout but turning to llogbrook, tho cob bler, -who was straightening tho bent crotch of his musket rest, he said, "I know you all hate mo becauso I'm al ways right, and you think boys ought to 1)0 wrong until they grow up to bo men." "But I don't hato you, Flip," whls- pored Elsie Beekman. "No, becauso you're littlo," answered the boy, as tho two turned down tho Ileoro straat. After a pause ho added: "I shouldn't wonder if this is a now governor, Elsie, to rulo over us in ploco of Do Heer Kieft, who, you know, is to he sent home to tho states general. But let them think it Is the Quakers If they wish I" "Flip, dear," said the girl, laying her hand on his shoulder, "if this is a new governor from Holland, perhaps ho has let my cousin Pieter come with him?" "Cousin!. I didn't know you had a cousin, Elsie." "Yes, but It Is so long sinco we left our old homo in Utrecht and I was so young that I can scarcely recall his face. Ho used to lovo mo so much, father says, nnd would let mo play all day with Velvet." "Play with Velvet? What is that?" "Oh, I cannot tell you, Flip, becauso you wouldn't understand, for there Is nothing like Velvet In this wild coun try. I can Just remember her beauti ful big eyes and funny whiskers. How much I would like to see Cousin Pieter and Velvet again." They now stood beneath the Merry Mount or northwest bastion. "Look, Elsie I" cried tho boy. "Thero nro four ships. Oh, how beautiful I And thero flies tho flag of the Nether lands. I am right. See, they ore an choring; but what Is this?" Speeding over tho choppy waves, straight toward them, camo a black longboat, In which sat a single figure. Nearer and nearer it drow, and tho children could see that tho rower was pulling for dear lifo. Elsie and Flip ran down to tho water's edge and waved their hands just as the flguro in the boat happened to turn to seo If tho craft was headed aright. Thon they heard a loud, long drawn out cry, "Bravo for Pietor Vanderspiegol!" "Oh, Flip," exclaimed tho girl, "It is Cousin Pieter! It Is Cousin Pieter!" A few moro strokes and tho boat's prow was on tho beach, and Elsie was in tho arms of a youth of eighteen, whoso largo red faco was tho very homo of good humor. Flip saw at onco that the stranger was to be a dangeroutf rival for Elsie's affections. Ho glared at Cousin Pieter as though ho would havo eaten him, and was rewarded by a "chuck" under tho chin, which familiarity ho resented by turning his back on tho pair. "But why do you look so oxcitcd, Cousin Plotcr? And what havo you got in that box?" a&Ked Elsie, as tho young fellow, after solemnly winking half a dozen times, splashed Into tho water and drow from tho boat a small groen box v4l!t a brass handle "That big black ship." Pioter an swered, "is tho Great Gerrit, with Do Ilecr Petrus Stuyvesant, director gen eral of tho Now Netherlands, on board. Oh, he's a hot 'mi hard as his old sil ver leg. I hid in tho cargo of cloth on Christinas day, when she left tho Texel for I found Utrecht dreadfully lonely without littlo Elsie and in cousequenco am to receive a hundred lashes with a rope's end in front of your Stadt Iluys when they catch mo!" "Poor cousinC'sald tho child. "I will kiss tho now governor and ask him not to punish you." "Ha, ha, ha!" laughed Pieter. "Kiss Do Ilecr Petrus Stuyvemuitl "Why, Elsie, ho Isn't a man; he's a unicorn." At this remark Flip, who was quite ready to quarrel with tho Interloper, turned quickly. "I call that treason to the Prince of Orange," ho said, ,rVclI, littlo Waxy," retorted Pieter (Flip's faco was certainly very white;, "you aro not ono of tho Prince of Orange's body guard, aro youf "I am too loyal to say what yoo havo told and I iiato you I" answered Flip, li Lie again turned hw back on them, (aSad (inoj ao papnpuoo) lNHUIlANUK Company, Klre and Ma rine.

Hewtys: "Mr. Bltilue himself has not been heard from on tho part of his can didacy for tho presidency, It is not time for htm to speak. He will be heard from in duo tlmo. Those who ore In position to truly know say that his understanding with Gen. Harrison Is perfect What is duuo by either with reforenco to tho Re publican convention will be douo by both, aud the party can safely trust them to do tho wise-thing. The newspapers nro Jllled with a yast nmouilt-offcensatloual stun about the Blalno movement,! as f thero were something new' und.extraorJi nary lu tho secretary's popularity. There Is a notable effort, tb& Vehe uieuco of which seems to be increas ing every day, to iuslst on hla popu larity. There is no ueed of this at all. Nobody has denied tlmt Mr. Blalno is popular. Indeed, It Is dotibtful If at any previous time ho was ever more popular, certainly In somo por tions of tho country, lut the sources of tho strulncd, -concerted theatrical Blalno clamor aro eosng gostlve to any lutelHgetobsferver of politics that itHBlguiticauco is not to be missed.

The more grievous tho personal disap pointment nt luublllty to boss Gen. Harrison In any cane, tho moro clamorous will be tho demand for BlaTtie. Even some of Blaine's most resolute opponents In all time past, being unublo to use Harrison, are now the loudest Blalno boomets. In short, Blalno's popularity is being used by bosses who have purpose lu manipulating the convention, not because they lovo him more but Ilttrrison less. Of com so this oppo ttltloi) to the president is disguised and cloaked, but It is none tho less real In spite of protestations of re gard for him. H Is just as well for tho Republlcun musses to bear these facts in mind in considering the pre tentious claims of the Blaine boom em." MOKK GANNIS1MKB NKICIMCU.

Chioago Inter Occau: Tho Min neapolis Tribune of the 17th lust, devotes a page or more to u detailed reort of the wheat crop of three Mates AMuni'MOtu, Noith Dakota uud Houth Dakota. The grand total for the three Is set dou ii as 167,000, 000 bushels, distributed us follews: Minnesota, 00,000,000 bushuU; Bouth Dakota, -10,000,000 bushtlt.; North Dakota, 61,000,000 bushels. These figures make no claim to be more than approximations. It is safe to say that the total of those three states is not far from 160,000, 000 bushels. The grand total for the whole country U w,-t down at 600, 000,000 buhcl. If the farmers have no bud luck in harvesting, Highest of all in Leavening Power. ABSOLUTELY PURE threshing and marketing they ought to rcnllza not far from $1 a bushel for their crop. This of itself would bo enough to dispel the shadow of hard times, but tho corn crop bids fair to be quite as large in proportion, and the oat crop also. Tho entire grain crop of tho United States Is now estimated at 3,177,000, 000 bushels, which is 28 8 por cent. In excess of last year nnd 14.7 per cent, greater than tho average since aud including 1880. Every staple crop of the country Is reported to bo large, and thero Is overy reason to expect a year nnd nn era of reninrk nblo prosperity, tho threo Btntes named being no moro highly favored tllau the corn belt further south. M'KINLKY TO THE FARMERS. He Speaks npon Taxation to a Crowd Numbering 12,000 to 15,000. Shelby, O., dispatch: From 12,000 to 16,000 farmers from Richmond and adjoining counties assembled in illuekiurtu'a Grove, near this place, today, to enjoy their great annual picnic, aud Major MeKluley, In i.c cqrdance with their Invitation, ad dressed them. Taking for his subject "Taxation" "In which," he said, "all farmers were Interested," he preceeded: "It requires $300,000,000 auuually to support this government; $1,000,000 must bo raised ovory twenty-four hours. Now, how can you produce this sum with the least burden to yourselves? You must either tax your own land, labor aud wages, or somebody else's. You can do it by direct taxation also, as waa done during the late war. I don't believe It is tho best way. I think tho easiest plan is to tax tlio products of foreign people, who seek a mar ket In the Uuited States. Will you tax tho products that como Into competition with your own, or the non competing ones? Peoplo differ on thlb point. Remember that you must raleo the money. Wo have had experience with both methods." Mr. McKlnley then revlowed tho periods of cuinparatlvo prosperity under tho dlff'eient systems of tariff' In tho country's history, and then resuming said: "Agriculture- pays under our tariff system. Cardinal Manning said last December that the rovenuo tariff' has destroyed agricultural Interests) in England. I am talking to farmers today. When your crops aro garnered, you want buyers for your surplus. What you need nro purchasers for your wheat. Whore do you flud them but In tho workshops and factories, which have been built up by the tho system of protection? "What builds tho factory? It Is tho taxation which supports tho homo against tho foreign produc tion. Supposo you break down tho factory, what would becomo of tho people? They would at onco turn their attention to farming, for they must live. T!ey would bo your competitors, Instead of your buyers. They would produce their bread In stead of purchasing it. Applause. "Tho tariff' system was established by Washington aud the people who lived at that time. They said we nro all farmers and we want some body to buy our products. Tho for eign workman buys $1 20 worth pet year from you; the American buys i.00. Now which ono will you sup port, the homo workers or the for eign? Applause. But Franklin mild: 'Ho who by tho plow would thrive. Himself must either hold or drive.' "Ben u!bo said, 'Stay by tho fac tory and It will thrive by thee.' The farmer Is getting u little more money for his productn today than ho did two seasons ago, uud he never bought Ills manufactured goods so cheap for the last thirty years as ut the present time. "We hear much fhese duys about mortgages. Didn't It ever occur to you that a mortgage Is not always au evidence of jKiverty? Ills, when a man gives It for his grocery bill, but when a farmer buys an adjoin, lug farm and pays half of the price, and ollern a mortgage for the bal ance, that Is uh evidence of pros perity."

Tho Times yesterday published a three-column nrticlo upon tho projected inter-con-tlnetitnl railwny which when com pleted will link South and Central American republics with each other and with tho United States. Iu discussing these plans, The Times expresses the opinion that "James G. Blalno, United States secretary of stnte, Is a man of grand Ideas, nr d if, as it seems qulto possible, he Is tho next president, there will le somo chntice of realizing thla 8oliemo,' Continuing, Tho Tinea Biys: "Tho project alms to Join tho markets of North nnd South Amer ica, hut there is uo place for u geu erul commercial system, even lu the rolatlons between the several n publlcs. Tho railroad when con ploted, would have to compete with the great waterways ou tho other side of the continent. From Buenos A vrna tn TCnw "Vnrlr mill frnm VnL j .-.. v.. ... ....... .,u ....... ,...- paratso to San Francisco, tho exist ing menus of travel are simpler aud cheaper than they could oven lo made on n railroad. It Is obvious tho sehemo equally has political as well as commercial ends lu view to join tho North aud South American republics Even though tho llrst outward sign of tho uulon will bo nothing, the iron rail with n supreme centre of republican government at Washington Is a conception of cap tivating niagultudo," The Times also assorts that recent proposals on tho part of tho United BtatcB, looking to tho establishment of reciprocity with various republic of tho continent, havo been gener ally reserved by tho countries to which the overtures were mndo uu speclmons of absolutely cynical Anglo Saxon selfishness uud that tho proposals created profound dis trust In American bargains. Touching upon the question as to whore capital Is to bo found for the enormous enterprise, The Times ex presses tho opinion that It cannot be found In the needy Southern repub lics, aud that It must bo raised in the United States. Tho latter would he obliged to guaruntco Interest oif the cost of construction, mid there Is a strong conviction that the United Stutcs would recoup lluolf for the cxponso of this guurnntco nt the oxpeiise of tho republics further south. "Many people of practical opinion," The Times says, "believe the scheme will nevor bo realized. The price demanded by the United States for guaranteeing the bonds of tfie railroad would be In commercial and political concessions which the other republics could nor grout, The United Slates Is regarded as ' rival of England, ami an tho state of tho southern half of Ihecouttnoat were developed by English capital, thero exists an Important party which will regard any step toward closer commercial nnd political re lations with the United States us a stop away from au old and trusted frlond."
