HAY.
DR.. 1oring's Letter to Capt. Boutolle.

The following is the full text of the letter
written by DR.. Loring, Commissioner OF Agri-
culture, to the Hon. G.. A. Boutslle,s sconcern
ing the hay tax. 1t should command the care
full consideration of all Maine farmers:
q. s. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE,
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 10, 'S2.
My Dear Mr. BouteILe::
In reply to your communication relating to
the reduction of the duty on hay, allow me to
say that you are undoubtedly correct in your
views of the important of the hay crop to the
farmers of Maine, and of the effect OF the re-
cent construction of the tariff law by which the
duty has been reduced one-half. This reduc-
ton is especially injurious to New Eng
land, increasing as it does the competition which
has already had quite an impetus in recent
years. Notice the increase even while The
twenty five per cent duty was in force, as fol-
lows:

CHICAGO, April ga dispatch from
Denver saying that Mrs. Tabor, wife Of II.
A. W. Tabor, Lieutenant Governor OF Colo
RADIO, has brought suit for a separate MAIN
tenance, causes considerable comment
among Chicago politicians and dealers in
mining property, Mr.. Tabor being well
known to both classes. Mr.. Tabor, al-
though represented as uneducated aud
rather uncouth, is reported to be the
richest man in Colorado, and he nearly
succeeded in being elected United States
Senator in place Of Mr.. Teller, now Sec
retary OF the Interior. Mrs. Tabor asks
that she be awarded the fine house on
Broadway, Denver, which she now lives
in, and that it be set apart for
her exclusive uses. It is the finest
residence in Colorado and is valued at
$4,000. She furthermore asks ior S5O, 900
per year for her maintenance, alleging that
her husband is worth between 5000, 900
and SS,0O0,000. The sensational point OF
the suit lies in the allegation OF intideli,y.
The dispatch says that if Mrs. Tabor will
sue Tor divorce the suit will be allowed
to 80 by in default, and lie will give her
the Broadway House and S3,0000O0 out
right, but she will not consent to divorce.
The case will hardly so to trial, as it would
create great scandal in which the ""best
people" would be involved. Threats, how
ever. are freely INDUCED i'll by both sides.
and bad blood may force the crisis. The
affair has been kept very quiet, the papera
having been secreted in the office OF tho
clerk OF the court.

bill, transferring special claimsin Congress
to the Court Of Claims, was not brought 10
vote lust night, for fear OF It's dcieat. The
Holman amendment, which exccpts all
claims which arise out Of the late wur, prac.
ticaily kills tho bill, and this amendment
received such unanimous support that
the friends OF tho bill were afraid OF It's Dc
feat, even with TINT clause in it. The truth
Is TIM. Congress is terribly afraid OF letting
any Of Its power so out Of its hands. 1t
las n horror OF ''rebel claims" and fears
that some OF these will 90 in through
the Court Of Claims; consequently, although
Congress is anxious to rid itself OF these
claims, It's lear OF consequences like the
above will not let 1t take the needed steps.
There is also something inexplicable in the
anxiety Of several judges OF the Court Of
Claims 10 get bill Of this kind passed,
adding as It does to their duties without
any increase Of remuneration.
The Committee on Commerce has closed
its hearing oimembes in the matter OF river
and harbor improvements and on Monday
the committee will commence making up
its bill. 1t will be little larger than us ut
first contemplated, and will probably reach
SIS 000.
