POLITICS OF THE DAY

The Comiwg Tariff War* The Democratic party has been fighting itself instead of its enemies for eight years. The signs are multiplying that the Republican party is about to have a turn at a similar experience. The administration is convinced that It will be suicidal for this country to go on indefinitely cramped in the bonds of a tariff policy that originated when foreign markets seemed of no importance. We are after those markets now—we must have them—and the only way to get them is to offer fair terms for foreign trade. A few years ago, or even one year ago, nothing would have been expected of a meeting of the National Association of Manufacturers except a demand for the highest possible protection. No tariff could have been too high. Absolute prohibition of Imports would have struck the assembled manufacturers as the ideal national policy. Last week at its annual session in Detroit the association passed a resolution declaring that “the object of tariff legislation should be to furnish adequate protection to such products only as require it, without providing for monopoly abuses.” But as far-seeing politicians and producers become more convinced of the need of lowering the tariff fence, the interests that profit, or think they profit, by monopoly become more viciously determined to permit no change. They denounce the reformers within the Republican party as traitors, and threaten to reduce them to the ranks or read them out of the party. There is material here for a beautiful row when Congress meets. The destruction of our export trade to Russia gives a little foretaste of what we \ may expect when the general Continental boycott against our trade begins to work, and with that example before them our exporters will see that the time has come to fight for their lives. They will be backed by the great mass of consumers, who have been taxed to support infant industries and think it time for a rest now that the infants have become giants. The agitation for tariff reform cannot be suppressed. If President McKinley is intimidated and Mr. Babcock driven out of the Republican party the result will merely be to make the reform again a partisan issue. But before things get to that pass there will be a fight Inside the Republican party that will eclipse anything in that line that has been seen in that quarter since the impeachment of Andrew Johnson. —Chicago American. Of Conne, Not. Of course, there will be no extra session. True, the Supreme Court has Just given clear demonstration that when opportunity offers it will make McKinley take bis bands off the Philippines and relinquish to Congress the powers he has usurped. True, the court will force the government to repay any duties illegally collected. But what of it. The duties so repaid will be only an extra lot of plunder to pets of protection. It Is the same old story. The importers pay the tax and charge it to their customers, making profit both on the goods and on the tax. Then the Importer forces the treasury to repay tile excessive tax and the consumer who has paid the tax simply grins, and in many cases keeps right on voting for protection. This part of the problem need not trouble any one. The folly brings its own reward to the fools. But there is another phase of the question. The attitude of the President and his advisers is nothing more nor less than outright anarchism. It is a clear defiance of the edict of the Supreme Court and for a deliberate purpose. Every Judge on the bench sqve one lias Joined in an opinion that would make It clear to any one but William McKinley that the government of the Philippines is a matter for Congress and not at all for the President. But Congress will not be calleu together. Micawber McKinley looks forward to next December and hugs the delusion that many things may happen In that time. Two Judges of the Supreme Court may die and then with Judicious •election of tlieir successors the policy of Micawber McKinley might be sustained. And It is Just as well. There Is apparently need of still more rope for the men behind McKinley. That they will be their own executioners is more than probable. But the people have given evidence of such demoralisation that all who would see our Institutions preserved nnd the nation once more respected throughout the world must possess their souls in patience. In the good time that is coming there will be excuse for repetition of that old line from Virgil. “Forsitan, haec olim memmlnlssee javabit.” Which being translated is, “Even this may pass away." It will take a long time for the odor to be lost. But that is only because the carcass of McKinley Is thoroughly saturated.— Johnstown Democrat. Republic or Monirchj. The mind of the average reader can hardly conceive anything more selfcontradictory than an absolute monarchy within a republic; yet such a state of affWrs is not so anomalous as at first •glance appears, judging from the recent action of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, which has Issued a circular addressed to all employes of the goad, forbidding them to engiqp in oil

or other ventures. This order was called forth by the fact that one of the experts employed by the company was recently sent to Texqs to look after some matters in connection with the oil-fields. Being a level-headed chap, he not only performed his duty toward the company, but also made a little Investment for himself, and acquired oillands which have since netted him the handsome profit of $200,000. Matters have indeed come to a pretty pass when a corporation shall dictate to Its employes what they shall do with their earnings. We are already cursed with trusts and monopolies. They are the first step towards imperialism, not fancied, but real; and this latest order of a railway corporation is but the second step in the same direction. Where are we to stop? Whither will the next step lead us? These are questions worthy the earnest consideration of all thoughtful men. That an shall dictate what wages he shall pay his employes Is a matter of business; but when he dictates how his employes shall spend the wages earned, he leaves the field of legitimate business and assumes the role of despot. It Is no wonder that the industrial world Is threatened by upheaval when such practices as the one quoted are permitted.—Buffalo Times. Fomeraaulta of Supreme Court. The New York World declares that the Supreme Court of the United States is the one tribunal In the universe which can give one judgment at one time anti an opposite one at another and be right at both times. For example, the World gives a list of the somersaults executed by the court: 1. It has decided (Dartmouth college case), that a State charter is a contract which the State may not break, and later that the State may break it. 2. It has decided that Congress has exclusive authority to regulate commerce on all our navigable waters, and later that it had not. Later yet it has reversed that reversal and reaffirmed its first decision. 3. It has decided that stock certificates may not be issued under a State law, aAi later that they may. 4. It has decided that any State may prohibit the importation of alcoholic liquors, and later that no State may do so. 5. It has decided that Congress has no power to make paper money legal tender for debts Incurred before its issue, and later that it has unlimited ■power to make paper legal tender in peace or war. 6. It has decided twice that an ineonfe tax is constitutional, and once—the last time —that it is not. When the record of the court is considered the American people can not be blamed if they regard it as a sort of teter board which goes up and then down on all important questions and points in one direction and then in another most absurdly.

FOR THE QUALITY ONLY.

Why the Job of t-'oddins Was Not Done That Dayi.._jc» *‘Stan’ dar," shouted the driver of the “crowbait,” as he pulled up in front of a handsome residence on Lincoln avenue. “What you uiean rovin’ ’roun’ heah.like a snake fence. De lady’ll think you neber had a oat.” “The lady” had appeared, looking at the rig, looked at the men. and then at the load of sod. says the Detroit Free Press. “Yes,” she said, “we need some sodding done. Say two yards wide in the front there, that bare space under the tree, and this spot by the porch, where there has never lieen a spear of grass since we owned the place.” “Yes’m.” “But we want it done right. The ground must be spaded up, you must put on plenty of fertilizer, water the sod down till It Is set and then insure the job. My observations have been that there has been more jobbery, more confidence gfflnes. more fakes, more downright stealing in setKng out trees and sodding lawns than there is in the common council, the legislature, the Congress of the United States and In the stock exchange combined. 1 know jnst what I want, and that is just what is needed. I’ll give yon $2 for the job when I’m satisfied that it’s all right. Coine the first of the week and come by 6 In the morning. And don’t drive that horse, either. If there's anything I abominate it is having a shadow like that standing In front of my place. The poor thing looks*as though he was fell on air and water. Don’t you think that you could do the sodding for $1.50?” “Say, lady, you keep lookin’ ’bout an’ see es you can’t get dat work done fur nuffin' an' de sod frowed in. I’se toilin’ for a llbln’, I is, an’ I don't go ’roun' tendin’ I Is a cha'tablc Institushlng. I nebber does no wo’k ’ceptln’ fo' quality, I don’t. De oleTesahndanters ain looking fo’ tny tfork. Good-mawnln'!”

The Coroner’s Verdict.

A coroner’s jury In a rural settlement returned the following verdict recently: “That the deceased came to bls death by tryln’ to light his pipe by a electric light, which can’t be done successful.”—Atlanta Constitution. Those who are industrious in any calling are capable of further blessings; whereas the idle are fit for nothing but temptation.—Bishop Hall.

GARDEN AN D FARM

STRAINING THE MILK. The ordinary fine wire strainer does not remove all the impurities from milk. In addition to straining through wire, milk should be also strained through four thicknesses of butter cloth, which may be fastened to the wire strainer with a tin ring to slip over it. Even then the soluble impurities will pass through with the milk. A SMALL SILO. A small silo will hold, a large amount of food. For fifteen head of cattle a silo ten by ten feet will hold sufficient ensilage to supply them through a winter. The silo should be Strong, as there is considerable lateral pressure. June is an excellent time for growing ensilage, and it is the cheapest food that can be produced on a farm for live stock. GROWING CROPS FOR SEED. There are several crops that may be grown for seed and which will provide food for poultry, among them being sorghum, millet, Kaffir corn and sunflower. If these plants produce seed they are of but little value for animals as fodder, but if the stalks are run through a feed cutter and used for bedding, or thrown on the manure heap, nothing will be lost, while the seed will be valuable for the purposes desired. KILLING CUT WORMS. The poisoned bait for cut worms is made by mixing at the rate of one pound of Paris green to fifty* pounds of bran, the latter first moistened * with water, but dry enough to Crumble. Some add a little sugar or molasses to the water to make it more tempting, and others mix cut green clover or clover hay with it, that birds may not be so likely to pick it up, but the above are -the essential parts. Put spoonfuls of it near each hill or along the rows where the worms are very plenty, just before night, and the worms will prefer it to the plants, and be found dead there in the morning. Do not use it where poultry will get at it. Larger animals will scarcely be likely to pick up enough to do much harm, but it is better to keep, them away and to bury it after it has done its work. We do not know whether a line of it would destroy the army worm or not.— Boston Cultivator. KEEP YOUR LAWN BEAUTIFUL. Through the winter the yard and lawn should be put in order, for in the spring, farmers are so there is no time to devote to such work. With many, this is no small undertaking, for when yards are neglected year after year they resemble a wilderness or the back yard of a grocery store instead of a grass plot with shade trees and walks. The fences gates and walks should be repaired. The shrubbery should be pruned, and the dead trees removed. Where there is but little shade, arrangements should be made to plant some trees around the ?dge of the yard. Maples are preferred oy many as they are beautiful and make the best of shade and grass grows luxuriantly around them. Fruit trees and bushes are not desirable for the yard and especially are plum trees obnoxious, as their limbs are low and often thorny and unless perfectly kept, they are an unsightly obstruction. The young trees should be pruned allowing no limbs to grow within twelve feet of the ground If thus pruned, they will not obstruct the view and will also let the air pass freely, which is necessary for proper sanitary conditions.— The Efitomist.

STOVE WOOD ALWAYS ON HAND. White wood stoves are not as common on the farm as in former years, they will always be used by many housewives. particularly in timbered sections. Where wood stoves are used, either in summer or winter, the necessity of a constant and liberal supply is apparent to anyone who has for years used wood for heating purposes. Many fanners neglect wood cutting until too late for working up the summer supply. As a result the wood pile is often low and in many cases housewives have difficulty in getting enough. 1 his difficulty can be easily overcome by using power saws and preparing the stove wood the latter part of winter or in early spring, when work in the field is impossible. Most farmers now have a windmill, a threshing engine or a tread power for other purposes. By expending a little more money and securing a good saw, the matter of preparing the summer wood supply will be a small item. Ihe saw formerly was an expensive part of the outfit, but manufacturers have put cheap and effective ones on the market, and there is now little excuse for not having a large amount of stove wood always on hand. It may not pay a farmer to purchase an outfit simply for his own use, but as in the case of a man who buys a threshing machine, a com sheller, a corn shredder and the like, one farmer can do the work for many families. The outfit can be placed in a low wheel truck wagon and easily moved from place to place. If the threshing engine is not available, a two-horse tread power is the most satisfactory for sawing stove wood. The machinery is light and an outfit of this kind can be operated by three men. Where a steam engine is used, as high as forty cords a day can be sawed. Sticks of cord wood are sawed into throe pieces to fit the common cook stove. In addition to the many power saws on the market, there are quite a number of improved hand saws, which greatly lighten the work for the men who operate them. There are many forms of these advertised extensively. All of them have their good poin*. They are vastly superior to the old buck saws,

being not only more rapid, but less difficult to operate.— New England Homestead. GROUND BONE AS FERTILIZER. As a fertilizer for certain purposes ground raw bone deserves a high place, if it is the genuine article, and is very finely ground. Much of that which is sold for that purpose is not fine enough ,and not only requires too long to become available, but in some casts never becomes so, as it seems to become coated or glazed over so that the acids of the soil cannot act upon it. The bone is not adapted for a fertilizer for field crops, or for general use upon light soils, but in a strong soil well filled with vegetable matter it is good for seeding down to grass, as its decay in the soil may require years during all of which time it is feeding the grass crop. Yet we think we have found better results from using it around grape vines and the bush fruits than in any other way. There is nitrogen enough so that when used in the early spring it will promote a good growth of fruit and a juicier and better flavored fruit than would grow without it. It certainly lacks potash, and unless upon new soil its effects would be improved by using about half the same amount of muriate of potash with it, which will make the wood stiffer and more hardy. The amount to use per acre must depend upon the number and size of plants, but liberality is generally the best economy. IMPORTANCE OF GOOD CULTIVATION. Whenever the soil crumbles it can be worked for the greatest benefit to plant growth. How often we see the plow started when every furrow looks as if it had been run in a mold, the soil particles sticking to each other because of a surplus of moisture. Too often such work is termed scientific, because of the handsome even appearance. Land thus managed, though it may be a sandy loam which would be mjjch less damaged than clay, will not gain that fine garden tilth, which is so desirable, perhaps for the whole season. Rich clay lands which are so valuable for the production of high-class hay and corn, are most seriously damaged by plowing and cultivating when too wet, because when the drying out process begins the furrows break up into lumps or clods which become more thoroughly baked as the heat of the sun increases. Often the field must remain idle for two or three years before the unfavorable lumpy condition is overcome. The novice just commencing will get caught in this way often, thinking that all soils can be worked without regard to quality or texture. For the double purpose of forwarding spring work and plowing when the land is in its most favorable condition, and also taking into account that frost and air are very important factors in our farming operations, I believe that a large proportion of the plowing should be done in the fall. Then the following spring the harrow, spring-tooth if possible, will do all that is necessary for the corthcoming crop.—O. A. Southwick *tn New England Homestead.

SHORT AND USEFUL POINTERS. Milk the cows quickly but gently. -Cleanliness should be the watchword in the dairy. Feed all the animals as great a variety of foods as possible. Always give your cows a good bed with a comfortable stall. No dairyman ought to buy a cow without first testing her milk. It is, said that a pinch of salt and ashes will keep a horse from having colic. When planting cultivated crops remember that long rows are great labor savers. The most thrifty pigs are those that are turned out to root in the pasture as soon as they are old enough. Roots and vegetables or clover hay generally have a beneficial effect upon 4he digestive organs of the hog. Study the nature and disposition of your animals. They are like men in this respect—generally differ. It is said that soft butter can be remedied by feeding the cow some potatoes. It is at least worth a trial. Every' dairyman should look out for the machinery of his “milk factory” just as any other manufacturer does. A dairyman who does not use a separator gests only about seventy-five per cent, of the butter-fat that his cows have given him. Lawn clippings make an excellent green food for poultry. Never mix fresh warm milk with that which has been cooled. In hot weather cover the milk cans, when moved in a wagon, with a clean wet blanket or canvas. If you have not an abundant suppl y of clear and pure water on your farm do not attempt to raise sheep. Immediately after furrowing, feed the sow nothing but slops, not swill, to which may be added oats, shorts, wheat bran, potatoes and roots. A milk-tester will test the cows and I test the dairyman as well. He can find I out just how much butter-fat he is get- ' ting and can figure out if his butter account agrees with it. If milk is stored, it should be held in tanks of fresh, cold water (renewed daily), in a clean, dry, cold room. Unless it is desired to remove cream, it should be stirred with a tin stirrer often enough to prevent forming a thick cream layer. The Street Railway Journal is authoi* ity for the statement that there is not it single important traction in the country that is not adding week by week to its gross earnings, which is accepted as conclusive evidence of the general prosperity of the country.

DEATH IN A FLOOD

Mining Towns in West Virginia Wiped Out by Water. KEYSTONE WIPED OUT Elkhcrn Creek in Pocahontas Field Rages High Over Its Banks. Cloud burst Sweeps Valley Along the Norfolk and Western Railroad—Coal- ’ dale, KlkLurn and Many Other Places Are Washed Away Completely—Loss of Life Placed at 300 to 400 and Property Damage la Vast—A Horrible. Disaster. From 300 to 400 persons are thought to be drowned in a flood which swept through the Elkhorn valley from Ennis, W. Va., to Vivian, in the same State, between the hours of 9 o’clock and 11 Sunday morning. In the valley is located the celebrated Pocahontas coal fields. Nearly all the machinery and buildings were wrecked. The mining and railroad towns of Keystone was practically swept away anl the little town of Vivian nearly destroyed. North Fork Junction and other small towns suffered in like manner. Thirty miles of the Columbus division of the Norfolk and Western Railroad were washed away. Millions in Property Loss. The property loss will run into the tens of millions, but it will be many days before the real extent of the loss to life and property can be ascertained. The entire valley has been devastated and the loss to the Pocahontas coal region is enormous. The railway loss is also heavy, for the track and roadbed washed away was probably the most expensive piece of engineering work in the country for its length. The roadbed was almost carved out of solid rock, and only last year $1,000,000 was spent in betterments. It had been raining hard for several days in the Elkhorn region, and the hundreds of small mountain creeks were swollen to their full capacity ahd pouring their waters into the Elkhorn river. Early Saturday morning the heaty downpour of rain became more noticeable, and it was accompanied by a severe electric storm, which violently increased in volume and continued for several hours. The storm continued throughout the entire day arid night. Saturday toward noon the rain ceased, but the heavy storm clouds hung over the valley, threatening every moment another downfall. The clouds held back, however, until about midnight, when the rain again began to fall.

Cloudbnrat Adds to Terror. The storm increased ip violence every minute and finally culminated in a cloudburst which precipitated a great volume of water into the Elkhorn valley, already flooded to the danger point by the rains of the preceding forty-eight hours. The great mass of water started down the valley with a roar that was heard above the storm. It swept everything before it—trees, telegraph poles, huge bowlders, whole buildings, railroad ties, steel rails, box cars, and coal sheds. Into the mass of tangled wreckage of the flood were swept helpless men, women and children, caught in its path, and as all were swept along in the fury of the ■torm they went to their death with none to hear their last cries for help. Building* Float Away. The valley was peopled almost entirely with miners and their families. Th't ir frail cabins and cottages offered no resistance to the impact of the flood and ■the buildings were tossed upon the front of the great wave which was rushing down the valley. There was no chance for escape for the unfortunate people, caught without warning. The flood began to make its terrible force felt at Ennis, and it extended the entire length of the valley to Vivian. As the crow flies the distance is fifteen or sixteen miles, but by the tortuous path of the river it is thirty-five. The Elkhorn valley at this point is a great gorge, cutting its way through the mountain range. It is a mile wide at one place and then it narrows to a width of only 300 feet. At its narrowest point its rocky walls rise to a height of from 700 to 1,000 feet. It was through this gorge that the storm tore its way. The great wave of water which swept everything Before it wrought its destruction in a few minutes. In twenty minutes it was all over but the desolation.

The Wells-Fargo Express Company will in a few days pay SI,OOO reward to Sheriff Brlent of Sutter County, Texas, for killing Will Carver, of the notorious Black Jack gaag.

INDIANA INCIDENTS.

RECORD OF EVENTS OF THE PAST WEEK. Assaulted by Five Hoodlums —Cyclonic Storm in Many Parts of State—Knock Arden in Modern Life—Whisky Explosion Kills a Man. Five men, four of whom are now under arrest, brutally assaulted Letha Puckett, 26 years old, a domestic in the employ of a prominent family, after frightening away her escort. The assault occurred in a much-frequented woods about a mile from the eastern limits of Muncie. As soon as she could' the girl staggered through the hot sun three miles to central police headquarters, where she reported the outrage. A patrol wagon with half a dozen officers visited the woods, and found all the men except one. They belong to the city’s lowest gang. The girl says she fought them until she was exhausted. Walter Richards and Arthur Favors, two young men who know the girl’s assailants, were passing, and, .seeing signs of a struggle, went to the girl's assistance, but were driven away. She says that in company with Henry Inglehart she went walking. As they were passing near the woods the two were accosted by “Shug” McCarthy, who said he was an officer come to arrest them for trespassing. At this point Inglehart deserted her and she was dragged into the woods by McCarthy. The four men charged with the crime are James, alias “Shug” McCarthy, Charles Smith. William Thafp and Arthur Shepp. Returns Like Knock Arden. The story of how Enoch Arden left It s wife only to return after many years and find her remarried has been vividly illustrated by Aaron Gidler of Madison County, who mysteriously disappeared from his home thirty years ago, leaving a wife and one small child. Mrs. Gidler, thinking she had been abandoned by her husband or that he had met with foul play, married Joseph Hurbler eight years ago and moved from Indiana to Missouri. Gidler has now returned in search of his wife. He says he was suddenly stricken with the gold fever, and leaving his work one day set off for California. He was afterward taken sick and has since been unable to find his wife. T” Three Killed by Lightning. Damaging storms prevailed over large portions of Indiana. , Crops in northern Indiana, especially in' Allen Comity, were badly damaged. Thirty oil .derricks and many barns and houses were demolished by lightning in Blackford County. Three persons were killed nnd several injured by lightning. The storm took on cyclonic aspects at several places. At Marion the First Presbyterian Church was struck by lightning and badly damaged; James Rowans’ saloon near the soldiers' home was struck and partially destroyed. Five men who were in the saloon were knocked senseless.

Whiskey Causes Fatal Fire. While repairing a drawbar on a Vandalia freight car at Logansport which was loaded with whisky Lawrence Bee son was killed, William Eskins was fatally and Calvin Neff and John Moore were dangerously injured. A spark from the well ignited a barrel of whisky and explosion ami fire followed. Eskins was literally cooked to death. Neff and Moore jumped into the canal with their clothing on fire and were rescued just in time to prevent death by drowning. Kills a Woman and Himself. Albert Towne, aged 26 years, a glass cutter, shot and killed Mrs. William Granger at Frankton, and then took his own life. Towne was a boarder at the Granger home for two years, and was forced to leave there because his attentions to Mrs. Granger were repulsed. Within Our Borders. The Shelbyville wheat crop is splendidly promising. James Strebens was killed by lightning while planting corn south of Peru. While drilling for water at Washington, a small flow of gas was struck. Arrangements are being made to publish a daily newspaper in the State prison. J. A. Stogg, Greensburg, lost eight Belgian hares, which died from excessive heat. Lack of money has caused all the New Albany Y. M. C. A. directors to resign. The Pennsylvania Railroad is putting an addition to its Seymour passenger station. It costs S4OO to take out a liquor license in Wayne County and- there are sixty-two of them. The machinists’ strike at Terre Haute has been settled. The men get ten hours’ pay for nine hours’ work. Miss Bertha Stewart, Anderson, was thrown from a buggy by a runaway colt, and her neck was broken. Gardeners in the vicinity of Terre Haute are shipping carloads of peas to the Chicago and Pittsburg markets. The Hampshire will was broken tn Logansport and the American Christian Missionary Society is out about $16,000. The little daughter of a man named Lentz, Marion, died without care, a Christian scientist having been the only physician. The little one had croup. Robert Clark, accused of killing an unknown mnn nt Converse, known as “Jack the Jagger,” pleaded guilty at Kokomo, and was sentenced two to twenty-ono years. Mrs. Ella Carubban shot and slightly wounded Julia Rock at English. Th<> cause of the shooting is said to be Jenlousq. A watch, shattered by the bullet, probably saved Miss Rock's life. Both women are highly respected. Because their foreman, Joseph Borders, resigned, 100 employes of the McEl-waine-Rlchurds Company, Noblesville, Struck. Borders thought he was to be superseded by another man. This was a mistake and he will return. The 7-year-old daughter of Perry Zcale of Grant County attempted to crow a lot where a sow and a number of small pigs were confined- She was attacked by the hog in a vicious manner. Bites and bruises were inflicted all over her body and her right arm was bitten completely off Just above the elbow. She was rescued with difficulty and may 4le.
