Unbusinesslike and Unpatriotic Attitude
of the ship Builders WHO Formerly
Had Every Thing Their Own Way.
The Herald notices with surprise and
regret that many Republican newspa-
pers are rejoicing because the ship
builders of the country have not put in
any bids far the construction of the
new war vessels which the last Con-
gress ordered. This is carrying parti-
sanship to an extreme which can only
be regarded with sorrow and contempt
Ii so happens that the few ship
builders OF America are bound together
by certain ties which the average
citizen has no: taken the trouble TO ex-
anime. A casual inspection of the
records Of the Navy Department.

Farm Notes.

Huron. Oak, is already preparing for
the Territorial fair to be held there next
fall.
Dalrymple, the bonanza Dakota farmer,
will put in 80, 600 acres of wheat next sea-
son. He raised 1000 bushels of wheat
the past season.
Farmers express the opinion that the
late blizzard has greatly injured the wheat
in this county, especially in places where
the ground was wet at the time of the
heeze.-RiclmoRd MOI Democrat.
The Iowa State Agricultural Society will
ask the Legislature for an appropriation Of
G,oc0.
The hog crop in this county during the
past year was very fattering to the farm
ers. On inquiry we cleaned the informa-
ton that at the bank of c. T. Edee & Co.
SO, SIS. 81 was paid out to farmers and at the
First National s99, 75S.H was paid for the
same purpose, aggregating during the year
the snug little sum of SIG 5s7.33, which is
pretty good.-Pdrnes (ye6.) Press.
A Junista (Neb.) corn husker sent
seventy-fve cents to an Eastern firm for a
receipt to make 500 a month without
work. The answer was neatly printed and
contained these words: "Fish for suckers

1t is said that bogus butter is driving the
genuine article from the markets of Col
orado.

MORRISON'S TARIFF BILL
Nearly Ready for Presentation-Some of
the Changes.


the Changes.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5-The Morrison
Tariff bill will soon be ready for presents
ton. Thus far it has been determined to
make no changes in existing rates of duty
upon textiles of any description. There IS
disposition to change ad valorem to speci-
fic rates where this can be done with advan-
tage, but should such changes be made, the
specific rates as rule will be placed at the
equivalent of the existing ad valorem. There
is likely TO be reduction in the rates now
imposed upon the higher grades of wool,
known as clothing wool, but no change will
be attempted in the rates on carpet woods
and other woods of low grade. In regard
to lumber the proposition is to place rough
and manufactured lumber on the free
list. There is considerable difference Of
opinion between MeSsrs Morrison and
Hewitt touching what should be the rates
on iron ore, pig and scrap iron. Mr.. Hew-
lit wants the ores TO be placed on the free
list, and prefers that no reduction shall be
made in pig iron. 1t is estimated by those
who seek motives for mems actions that
the fact that Mr.. Hewitt buys iron ore
and manufactures pig iron may ex-
plain his attitude in relation to the commo-
dities mentioned. Any change in the pres
ent rate on ores, pig or scrap iron is certain
to encounter decided opposition, both in the
committee and in the House. 1t is not I'M
likely that iron ores will be continued on
the dutiable list at so cents per ton. Nor
rison wants the duty of S6.72 on pig and
scrap reduced to S4.4s per ton, while Hewitt
wants the present duty maintained, but
would compromise on fourth of one cent
per pound, or $500 per ton. All
tr-hn o,,A
risOs himself, favor transferring salt to the
free list Thus far nothing has been de-
cided upon in relation to sugars, but it is
thought that the existing rates, which
yielded nearly S51 ZOO, 900 in revenue last
year, will be reduced. Louisiana members
will resist any reduction, but as these gen.
tlemen have heretofore teen giving the pro-
tectionistS no assistance in maintaining du-
ties on other articles than sugar, they will
receive little support in their effort to pre-
serve the rate on sugar.

STOCK ITEMS.

The comfort of each animal should be
personally looked after, as far as possible,
by the owner himself. No one else will do
it as WELL and oftener poor animal will
be overlooked by the careless employee il
it does not happen to come up with the
rest; but the missing one would not be
overlooked by the owners eye, which is
made keen-sighted by self-interest.-Na.

Wichita, Kan, reports the loss of cattle in
the Territory resulting from the late storm

the Territory and Western Kansas were

work up her wool
