Petition of Chandler Beale, Lewis Tibbetts and

the game of this combination in this
particular will be at an end.
The condition of the European crops
cannot be much longer kept from the
public, and should it turn out that they
are as good as the most favorable repre-
sentations have made them, still we do
not believe the price Of wheat can re-
main where it is. On all hands it has
been admitted that the old grain has
been nearly all exhausted, and that
there is none left over to be added to
the present crop. The English home
crop and the Russian crop will be the
first drawn upon, but they will not last
long, and it is estimated that 50,000,-
600 bushels will be needed from Amer.
lea. If this be the case the question
Of better prices is mere question Of
time-a question Of strength between
the Grangers and the middlemen. Our
wheat is necessity in the English
market, and if $3.50 per GENITAL will not
buy it more will be given.
Inc recent rise OF two pence or tour
cents in Liverpool is very significant,
and much more so than if it had oc-
Cured one week ago, and much more
significant than would have been fall
Of like amount, for the latter would
have been in accordance with the pro-
gramme of the dealers combination,
while the rise has taken place in spite
ofthat combination. Now thata change
has taken place for the better under
such circumstances, we shall confidently
look for further favorable change very
soon. We think the farmers had bet
ter keep a solid front and stand by their
first resolve-to outlive and break down
the combination against them.

TRIBUNE CLIPPINGS.

TR1TE TRUTHs.-I know a farmer
who bought lumber wagon now al
most 30 years ago, and to-day it is near
ly as good as new. 1t has been in con.
slant use, but always kept under shell
ter when not behind his team in the
field or on the road. A neighbor of
his bought one at the same time and
made at the same shop, but in conse.
quence Of always leaving it out Of doors
it went to ruin years ago, and now he
has bought new wagon for the third
time. This is fact, and the men are
living to-day, one successful farmer,
with plenty Of money to use and to loan,
the other an example Of the worst eff.
lects Of the opposite system. This one
instance alone is sufficient to ''point a
moral" 1t should teach lesson to
every man engaged in the pursuit of
agriculture. To be constantly buying
farm-tools is more than farmer can
afford. Implements are expensive, and
they should be made to last by being
cared for. Every farmer should have a
tool house, and when a tool is not in
use it should stand or hang in it's place.
A careful inventory of such tools occa-
sionally would do much toward keeping
them in their place and in good repair.
Industry, economy and system will be
Of as much service to farmers as to any
other class
The Legislature of Kansas recently
passed = law prohibiting horse racing
and the sale of Intoxicating drinks at
agricultural fairs. The result of this
action, says The Kansas Farmer even
in devastated Kansas, where the drouth
and grasshoppers are supposed to have
taken every green thing over most of
the State, was to largely increase the
show Of farm products, while the exhi-
bitioo Of cattle, sheep, hogs and poul-
try is reported as having been superior.
The diversion of our own County and
State Fairs so largely from the original
intent, has become source of very gen.
eral complaint among the farmers prop
er: AS the saying goes, Kansas e has
taken the bull by the horns," and is en-
titled to commendations for this exhibi-
tion Of moral courage.

HENRY WARD BEECnER.

ELMnA, September 3.-Rev. T. X.
Beccher in letter TO the Elmira Gazette
published this afternoon, says In substance
that his letter 10 his sister, Mrs. Hooker,
was aimed simply to caution and dissuade
her from costly act Of fansticism. II
was written without other knowledge Of
the facts than such as she stated, and such
as were sincerely believed by her. To
avoid controversy the truth Of her sllega.
tions was assumed. Since 1854 he has not
had two hours conversation with his hon.
nred brother, Henry Ward, and he cannot
recall at any time ever having had a dis
Cussion with him on the subject Of free.
love. marriage, divorce, relation of the
sexes or female suffrage.
He disClaims, therefore, being compe.
tent witness as TO his brothers views on
such subjects. The Emergencies oil views
between himself and his brother, he
thinks, are to his brothers credit and his
own discrcdit, his brother being q believer
In the nobility Of human nature, and him.
self believing that human nature is bad;
his brother making haste TO go with every
popular movement As with the tide obey
ing Divine guidance, he thinking the same
device Of the adversary and cautioning
all against it. OF Henry Ward Beecher'a
personal truth, purity, honor and piety
ho never had for moment a doubt that
was based upon any trustworthy informa.
ton, and be gratefully puts on record the
statement that he knows oil nothing what
ever, past or present, that binders him
from giving to his brother the most i'm
plicit, contented and loving credence, and
he concludes with saying that any use OF
his letter 10 his sister to his disadvantage
Isl renewal OF the indisCreet il not dis
honorable act by which alone it became
public property at first.

The late Bishop NORRIS, senior Bishop
Of the NJ. L. Church North, who died on
Wednesday, was born in Kanawha
county, West Virginia, April 2s. 1904. A
biographical notice Of him in the Chicago
Tribune Of Thursday speaks Of him as
follows:
ale was self educated, and, conse-
quently, not well educated; q man Of heart
rather than Of manners, and Christian
In whom there was little guile. Only a
year or two ago, when his mind had lost
much Of its natural vigor, he married q
young wife, and soon afterwards the Gen.
eral Conference reduced his salary from
5000 10 81 800. The veteran complained
Of ill.usage, and It was charged by his
friends that the Conference presumed IA
punish his folly In marrying by with.
drawing his means ofsupport.

For CongroaS--FirSt District,
GENERAL NATHAN GOFP,
OF Harrison,


The news as to the condition Of the har.
vests all over the world is very good
There Is every reason to anticipate year
Of cheap food, and, as the general revival
Of buSiness depends in the long run on
cheap food, II Is not unreasonable to be-
lieve that we have seen the worst Of the
dull times, which certainly could not well
be duller than they have been during the
past fcw months, A comparison Of prices
in 1873 and 1874, made by the Economist
shows considerable fall In leading com
modities since last year, and prices being
now favorable to consumers, we may fairly
infer that the improved tone in the irc-
trade, which Is attracting atte.ton IN
England, is prophetic of Improvement IN
other branches Of haslness, here as well
as there.

A Cool fisherman.

II met, the other day." writes a for
eign sportsman, "with an Englishman
who travels some hundreds of miles
every year to indulge in his favorite
sport of trout, fishing. / believe that,
provided his favorite stream was undis-
turbed, this enthusiastic fisherman would
be but little concerned if the whole
world was submerged in q second DEL
uge, as may be judged by the following
anecdote: One day he was exploring
the banks of his favorite stream, &C.
companied by the landlord of the inn at
which he was stopping. The latter
happening to come too close just at the
moment when his guest was throwing
his fly, the hook caught the poor
wretch's eyelid, causing him intense
pain. The sportsman coolly took out
the hook, readjusted the fly, and, as the
ipn-keeper continued bowling at the top
of his voice, you cam said he, in a
whisper, put your eye down in your
bill; but I'll trouble YOU to stop that
noise, so as not to frighten my fish "

of the deer, and marking every sign

OF the deer, ana marking every Slgu
which was visible of the savages.
The trail led back toward the falls
which he had recently passed, and this
told him that he could not be far from
the object of his search.
No living thing less sprightly than o
squirrel could ascend or descend the gi-
gantic rocks.
He would have his intended victim in
spot where it could not fail of falling
an easy prey, as escape was impossible.
Nearer and nearer he approached the
falls, until at last be could see through
the trees the bare rocks that crowned the
spot, while the thunder Of the cataract,
which was almost deafening, filled his
ears.
Suddenly out from among the bushes,
which lay between him and the summit,
noble buck sprang, with hurried leaps,
and then, when the topmost rock was
gained, whirled about, and stood gazing
in his direction with an attitude of min
gled defiance and fear.
1t was noble chance for shot, and
the hunter lost no time in taking advan-
tage of it.
Raising his rife to his shoulder, he
took deliberate aim and pulled the trig-
ger
There was fash and report, which
was drowned by the roar of the falls, land
the noble buck sprang into the air and
then came down again, and lay quivering
in death upon the rocks.
Fearful that in its struggles it might
fall over the cliffs, and so be lost to him
in the mad boiling pool below. the hun.
ter, without waiting TO reload his rife,
sprang forward to its side.
He had hardly done so, and laid his
hand upon his struggling victim, when
an arrow whizzed past his head, so close
that he involuntariy clapped his hand
to his cheek, thinking that he must have
received wound there.
Another instant and savage war
whoop rang in his ears, so loud and
shrill that even the roar of the falls
could not drown it.
The next moment half.dozen painted
savages, brandishing wildly their toma.
hawks above their heads, sprang from
the thicket toward him.
The face of the hunter blanched with
fear. Before him were the savages howl
ing for his life, behind him the steep
rocks and the boiling waters far below.
His rife, too, was useless. In his haste
to secure the deer he had neglected tc
reload it.
| Death stared him in the face. One
other glance he gave toward the triam
lphant savages, and read upon their faces
how sure they felt of his destruction,
| Then he turned and looked down into
the seething, boiling water so far below
him.
He saw there his only chance for life
and only for moment did be hesitate
The next, he sprang forward and took
fearful leap
1t was not an instant too soon. Ever
as he hung in mid-air, fight OF arrow
passed over his head.
Like rock he shot downward ,and tn
angry waters closed over his head.
Unframed he came up again far dow
the stream, and being a good swimme
he had no difficulty in regaining th'
shore.
Glancing up to the cliffs, he saw hi
pursuers gesticulating with rage and dis
appointment at his escape.
He lost no time, but hurried down tn
river with feet steps, and reached hi
cabin in safety his only loss his rife ant

REBUKE,

The world is old and the world is cold,
And never day is fair, I said.
Out of the heavens the sunlight rolled,
The green leaves rustled above my head,
And the sea was a sea of gold.
The world is cruel, I said again,
Her voice is harsh to my shrinking ear,
And the nights are dreary and full of gain.
Out of the darkness. sweet and clear,
There rippled tender strain.
Rippled the song of bird asleep.
That sang in dream of the budding woot
OF shining fields where the reapers reap,
Of 3 wee brown mate and nesting brood,
And the grass where the berries peep.
The world is false. though the world be fair,
And never heart is pure, said.
And lol the clinging Of white arms bare,
The innocent gold Of my baby's head,
And the lips of childish prayer.

Learning TO Farm.

best farmer you can find who will &C.

way-no school nor system of study
that will 50 quickly make farmer Of a.
young man; but he should BOT neglect
to study. Every agency that he can
employ to give him better insight in
to the scientific features of husbandry
should be employed; even when his
bones ache with the labor Of the day,
