a Farmers Letter.


MlsCAIlNE, Id. aug. Io'
Friend Mead:
see our friend Weller is again
before the voters OF the fourth dis
trict for congress, AM I hope the
farmers OF that district will elect him
ahd thus secure representation.
One OF the most disheartcning
features OF the times Is the loss OF
representation 10y tho toilcrs and
producers OF the nation. DO our
farmers and workingmcn forget that
this was the primary cause Of the
revolutionary war? The penny per
pound on tea cost England the loss
OF the colonies. But where do the
farmers OF America stand to-day?
Then are the hedciest tdrcd class to
he found IN the cirili.ed rorld and
this without representation. Who
are to blame for this? None but the
farmers themselves. They hold the
power to change all this, but they
are 50 divided that they are like a
lettering board, one end goes down
and the other up, and the political
dead beats occupy the center like
the cenfrere in IL gambling hell, rakes
in all the money. l wish all the dis
triots in Iowa were supplied with
farmer candidates like the 4th.
Weller is good representative man
and the farmers irrespective Of party
should give him rousing majority
and thus rcbuke the old party eau
cases with their petti-fogging law
ycrs. Could the reform elements in
the state unite. and have the demo-
Gratis help them, they could beat the
republicans easily, and then the
question would be the survival of
the fittest 1t is the only means left
to Gust the republican party from
power.
Yours for an honest representa-
tive, SAM'L SENNETT.

L. L. Johnson, of Lake Mills, Win
nebago county, iowa, sends the
PLAIN DEALER Il club OF twelve sub
scribers and long personal letter
from which we take the liberty Of
OF making extracts for the press.
Mr.. Johnson was among the first to
enlist when there was a call for SOL
diers and is no great admirer Of the
presidential candidates who waited
for the draft and then sent substi-
tutes, one OF them at his own ex-
pense, the other at the expense of
his town. He says if they could not
help protect their country in time of
war, they are unfit to be trusted with
that duty in time of peace.
He speaks noble words for Wellcr's
objections to attempted steals from
the treasury in the way OF improper
appropriations for debauchery as
thar Of $4,000 for the Siam embassy,
which his pluck defeated. He says
there are no appropriations from the
treasury for the farmers, which is
| truth.
He demands that all farmers and
laberers ignore party nominations
for congress where the party presents
an attorney, banker, or "a railroad
man, because this class has ruled
the country for the past twenty-four
years. only to demonstrate the facil
ity with which the wealth created Icy
labor can be transferred to the capa.
cious pockets of the men whom the
the lawyers, the bankers, and the
railroad men represent. The repub-
leans have nominated n lawyer in
this district for congress.

l may add that upon the very first vote there
was very large majority in favor of acguittsl
and so the vote stood up to 10 O'clock when the
others consented to agree to a verdict of ae-
qulttai. There is no doubt that there should be
change Ia our jury system and in the manner
OF presenting cases to the jury. AS they now
stand, 1t is almost next to Impossible to find
twelve men who agree on the first ballot Even
simple cases must be made out unusually strong
TO secure verdict of conviction on the first
ballot The turies. although generally consist
ing OF men who persist in viewing things in a
wrong light, are not entirely and generally to
oialne Tor the numerous hung juries and ae-
quttals. The lawyers are in great measure
accountable for the defects in the verdicts of
lurles. 1t is simply matter of impossibility to
select twelve men who will agree upon a YER
diet in any intricate case. The lawyers COM
mence the difficulty by lengthy. unntelligible
arguments and numerous irrelevant citations,
which. in turn isfollowed by laborious charge
ny the Judge, adding coal to the fire of mystifi-
cation burning in the b0soms or the wearied worn
out jury-which In the main, is composed of
men who have no reasoning faculty, and are
totally unfit for the duties which necessarily de-
volve upon them-one part carried away by sem
timent, another by prejudice, another looking
continually on the wrong side of the evidence
and incapable of taking a discriminating COM
nonsense view of the case. OF the men who
SIT on juries but very small portion look the
matter square in the face and Judge according

Something About Bananas.

from New 1ork tribune Interview.
1t is astonishing how little is known of bana-
mas, considering the extent to which they are
eaten. We get at this market every week an
average of $4,000 punches. From Florida? Not
single one. Why, Florida only raises enough
bananas for home consumption. All these yell
low ones we get from Central America, princi-
pally from Aspinwall. Those big, tat, red fell
lows are from Cuba. Plantains? Oh, no, that's
a general mistake. Plantains are only edible
when cooked; they are more vegetable than
fruit. You didn't know there were one hundred
and fifty distinct varieties of bananas did you?
The fruit comes to us quite green, but In the
summer will ripen in one or two days. Cool
weather compels US to use artificial treatment,
and we hang them in a close room and apply
heat. Now, that green bunch will not be ripe
under four days With the bananas. we import,
duty free, a good many foreign Inhabitants.

THE YELLOWSTONE PARK.
Secretary Teller Takes Steps to Secur
the Comfort of Visitors.

As the season for visiting the Yellowstone
National Park is about to open, Secretary Tel
Ter has addressed a letter to the superintendent
of the park, directing him to report whether the
hotel companies have made provision for open
ing their hotels and accommodating visitors
The Secretary says in his letter:
"Much complaint has been made that parties
in the park have been claiming exclusive rights
and privileges. l call your attention to the
fact that no parties have been granted exclu-
slve privileges, as such grants are not only con-
trary to the policy of the department. but con-
trary to law and contrary to the express terms
OF their leases or permits. 1t is not the policy
of the government to fill the park with settlers,
but to allow a sufficient number of hotels to be
established to accommodate the visiting public
This also applies to the carrying of passengers;
you will allow all persons residing outside of
the park who wish to carry passengers through
the park to do So, requiring from them Obser-
vance ofall the rules adopted for the preserva-
ton OF the park and the game therein. Parties
desiring to erect permanent buildings for any
purpose, must apply to the department for per-
mission to do SO. You should promptly report all
violations by the hotel companies or others
having permission to remain in the park, of the
law or rules adopted by the department. Com.
plant has been made that the hotel companies
introduced into the park last season great
number OF cattle and horses not intended for
the benefit OF the visiting public. The hotel
company is by the terms OF its lease only al
lowed to keep within the park q sufficient num-
Der of cows to provide milk for the use of tho
hotel, and such number Of horses as will ac-
eommOdate the travelling public wishing to
hire the same. Should the hotel company or
any other company or persons, attempt under
cover Of lease to Craze cattle or horses within
the park otherwise than above specified, you
will at once take steps to have such stock re-
moved, and report to the department."

Women as Druggists.

From the San Francisco Call.
In the general enlargement ofwoman's sphere
Of employment the dispensing of drugs sug-
gests itselfto us as pursuit admirably adapted
to the seK's capabilities. The practice of phar-
macy requires little in the way of physical.
strength, and certainly woman's capacity for re-
ceiving the necessary preliminary instructions
Is quite as great as the average drug clerks
while her superior deiicacy of touch and deX-
terty Of hand would be of great advantage in
the nicer duties OF the position. As to the COM
parative probability of her substituting NOR
phine where quinine is prescribed 1t would be
difficult to predict, but as a precautionary
measure it might be well to admit to positions
|. only such applicants as a certain degree of age
and unattractiveness preclude from probable
disturbance of the affections

Women as TelephOnists.

from the Pall Mall Gazette.
Three years ago the United Telephone COM
pany began to employ women, "chiefly fol-
reasons of economy we learn, but besides this
there are other advantages. If a boy IA years
old is employed as a telephonist his voice will
before long become hOarse and indistinct; with
a girl this is not the case. The female voice is
always clearer. and as clear voice (5esdes q
good ear) is one of the chief requirements of a
telephonist. women are naturally preferred.
They are admitted at the age of 16, the majority
OF those at present employed by the United
Telephone company being between the ages of 16
and %. From the number Of two, with whom the
experiment was begun, they have risen to over
hundred, who perform their duties to the sat
isfaction of the company. Preference is given to
the daughters Of professional men; this, how
ever is no strict rule. There are no preliminary
examinations to be passed before admittance
into the telephone Office. The different ranks
are the clerk in charge, who has the supervision
OF room, In which are employed from six to
fifteen clerks; the deputy Of the clerk In charge,
the first and second class operator, and the
learner. According to these ranks the pay
ment varies; as rule. however lis. to los. Is
the weekly pay. which sometimes rises to 1f,
and In rare cases to 25s The hours of work are
from till 6 or 10 to T. respectively. No case Of
illness has occurred on the staff since the COM
mencement of the work; the general state Of
health is also satisfactory, and Mrs. Merlin, the
lady superintendent of the whole staff, is of
opinion that the girls are on an average well
satisfied with their situation and fond of the
work. 1t is perhaps disadvantage that tele-
phOnists have to talk all day long; but this. very
fact Is said to prevent them from INDUCING in
disputes and gossip and makes their work COM
paratively quiet-a point upon which some SUBJ
scribers to the exchange have been known to
entertain different opinion. The aspect OF q
telephone office Is curious enough to an out
slider. number Of young girls sitting before q
cupboard-like structure into the apertures Of
which they are busy chattering, holding in the
meanwhile an instrument like an ear-trumpet
to their heads, would appear ridiculous enough
were it not well known how indispensable the
telephone has become to civilization.
