,efms Of equality with ne iBhab sAxa u
the United States The equality with the
Inhabitants Of the Dominion which We
were promised in the use q the canals OF
Canada did not se ure to u freedom from
tolls in their navigation but We had right t.
expect jhat we. being Americans and inter.
ested in American commerce, would be no more
burdened In regard to the same than Canadians
engaged in their own trade: and the Whole
spirit OF the concession made was, or should
have been. that merchandise and property
transported to an American market through
these canals should not be enhanced in the cost
by tolls ssaany times higher than such rs werc
carried to tu adjoining Canadian market.
All our citIens, producers and consumers -

ity promised, and yet evidence has for some
time been before the Congress, rnished BY
the Secretary o: the Treasury. showing that
while the tolls charged in the first instance
ere the same to all such vessels and eargoes as
are destined to certain Canadian ports are
allowed q refund Of nearly the entire tolls
while those bound for American ports are
not allowed any such advantage. To
promise equality and then in practice
make 1t conditional upon our vessels doing
Canadian bu >iness instead of their own is to
fulfill q promise with the shadow OF perform
ance. I recommend that sui legislation -
had - will give Canadian vessels navissEvg
our canals and their carg0ss precisely the
same advantages granted to our vessels and
cargoes upon Canadian canas, and that the
same be measured BY exactly the same rule Of
discrimination.
The course have outlined and the recon.
mendations made relate to the honor and dig.
nifty Of our country and the protection and
preservation Of the rights and interests Of all
our people. A government does but half its
duty when IL protects its citizens ut home and
permits them to be imposed upon and humili.
ated by the unfair and over-reaching DISPOSE
ton Of other nations. II We invite our pe0ple
to rely upon arrangements made for their ben
eht abroad we should see to it that they arc
not deceived, and II we are generous and
liberal to q neighboring country our poo
pie should reap the advantage Of 1t by return
Of the iberallty and generosity. These are
subjects which partisanship should not disturb
or confuse. Let us survey the ground calmly
and moderately. and having put aside other
means Of settlement, II we enter upon the pol

Of Colorado. Last Friday the Stars and
Stripes were raised on the Needle. which
is about 5000 feet high, and is, without .
doubt, one of tho highest points from
which the National emblem is flung to the
breeze. The numerous travellers that pass
by daily over the Denver & Rio Grande
railroad cheer it with the enthusiasm that
only Americans can feel
A letter received in this city from .
miner has the following concerning the
raising Of the flag: 1--WE have the National
emblem on the very top Of Carricanti

very nicely. The section men were dis
cussing the pros and cons Of climbing up
there and one Of them, an English sailor,
said he believed he could do it. An
Indianapolis lady who happened to be
present then remarked: If you will

in getting part Of the way up, when he

for family Of three adults, one quart Of
milk sold daily, 40 pounds Of butter sold

Reports from breeders who have given
the mutton breeds q trial show that it is
not unusual to produce wethers that will
weigh 2OO pounds when one year old, and
lambs can be easily made to weigh 60
pounds when three months old. There is
also a fair crop of wool secured, but it is
more profitable to produce mutton. The
mutton of a well-bred sheep not only gives
profit by reason of the extra weight at

owing to better quality as compared with
the ordinary common sheep.

FARM NOTES.

The farmer who thinks that to mako
money he must 60 where land is cheaper
should consider well if he would not make
more money by making the land he has
deeper and richer.
Clover should be grown more abundantly
than it is on many farms. When properly
cured it makes very nutritious hay, cou-
tanning more muscle and milk making ma
terial than ordinary hay.
You can cultivate your grass crops only
by preparing the soil well before sowing
the seed. As the condition of the crop de-
ponds upon the condition of the soil, the
matter of preparing the seed-bed is Of the
utmost Importance.
The great secret in making underdrain-
ing permanent improvement is in secur-
ing uniform fall when laying the tile. and
maintaining good outlet. When this out.
let has been closed a year or two, if there
be a good fall. re-opening it will cause it
to wash out obstructing sediment.
The Farmers Union at Oakland, Neb.,
has made levy of fifty per cent. on their
stockholders and will erect an elevator i'm
mediately. the cost of which will not be
less than 5000. 1t will have a capacity of
1900 bushels. It will be the largest one
in Burt County and built on the latest de-
signs. Their business has increased to
such an extent as to surprise the most
sanguine.
The work of next year should begin now.
Although the crops of this season are being
harvested, the ground from which they
are taken should not remain idle. The
hardest work of farming is to keep down
weeds AMI grass. Much of this labor could
be saved if fighting the weeds should be
continued until the appearance Of frost,
instead of giving up the land to them az
soon Is the crops are of.
Crude carbolic acid can be obtained at
about one dollar per gallon, and it should
be freely used on every farm. A table,
spoonful in bucket of water will disinfect
q whole stable. 1t is an excellent agent
for preventing lice and insect attacks on
animals, and, il used frequently, will
greatly aid in preventing disease. 1t can
also be used with advantage in the cellar.
II mixed with fine, dry lime it can be freely
busted over such places as may require
disinfection.
1t is we'll to raise a few red peppers to
mix with the food for the poultry. 1t is
said that in Honduras, where the capsi-
the ordinary fowl eats quantities of the
seed.pods and leaves. Red peppers are
undoubtedly better than the black pepper
usually used. The first may be easily
raised in q corner Of the garden, while the
latter is quite expensive. "A penny
saved is q penny earned"
Manure making does not consist Of SIM
ply adding material to the manure heap.
The value of manure does not depend upon
its bulk, but upon its condition. The more
valuable the ingredients Of the heap the
better. The object should be to SO manage
the manure a. to have the contents Of the
heap thoroughly decomposed and pulver.
lied to fine condition. To do this the
heap must be allowed to heat and must be
turned over occasionally in order to throw
the coarse material to the center. The
manure heap is the most important thing
on the farm. and should be given the
closest attention.

MONEY PACKAGE GONE.
Ten Thousand Dollars Taken Out of a Mai
Pouch.


NEW YORK. Aug. 23.-Detectives and
other post office officials are engaged earn.
estly at work in an endeavor to run down
the thief who stole a registered package of
$1,000 in money while it was being trans.
ported from Portland. Ore, to the Chemical
National Bank of this city. The stolen
money was consigned in a pouch with
fifty .eight others. and its loss was discov.
cred only when the pouch was regularly
opened in the registered letter depart.
ment of the post-office ON Friday last.
Since then the work of searching for the
thief has been carried on, and the publicity
of the facts of the theft was made only
yesterday. The source of this information
is as great a mystery to Postmaster Pear
son as the loss Of the money. 1t was de-
sirable to keep the matter quiet until the
thief was discovered. Various clews are
being followed up, and the progress thus
far made is kept secret for obvio us rea.
sons. So far as could be learned to-day
the men engaged in the case have not vet
decided at what point the package was
distracted. The fact that the pouch
reached this city uninjured is conclusive
proof that the robber was in possession Of
q duplicate key.

Cohen ran into the hallway and found
the dead body of the man who first en-
tered the place. He had been shot
through the head. The police were
quickly on the spot, but the only persons
who could throw any ligh! on the affair
were Geo. PhRbus, . reporter. and Gus
Finklehour, his companion, who had
heard something that they now believed
was the shot, and had seen a man como
out Of the hallway and walk away. They
did not sec the pistol, and did not know
anything was wrong. Their description
of the murderer agrees with that Of
Cohen, namely: . man about twenty-five
years old. slight with small brown
mustache, and with . scar under his left
ear.
The three Witnesses can not positively
identify him. Nothing showing his
identity was found on him. A piece Of
paper inscribed maggie Ryan, Islip.

restaurant check Of the Wellington
Hotel. but the hotel people know nothing
about him. The police are making great
efforts to solve the mystery.
