If the Dakota farmer would take a lit.
tie time to read the current news of the
day he would feel pretty well satisfied
with his location and surroundings. The
information would come to him that
while ne is garnering his excellent crops
the Ohio farmer is fighting potato bugs
with one hand and potato worms with
the other. the Minnesota farmer is
catching grasshoppers for SO much a
bushel, the Iowa farmer is struggling
with the chinch bugs. and the Nebraska
farmer is contemplating his oats and
wheat nearly ruined by rust and bad
weather generally. The Dakota crops
may sometimes prove to be not what
was expected, from this or that cause,
but. with the exception Of a few favored
localities-where land is worth a mil
lion dollars an acrc-more or leSs-Da-
kota pans out better crops on the aver
age. than any section between the two
oceans. In all the West and Northwest
especially she leads all the states and
territories. If the Dakota farmer cannot
raise a good crop rest assured no farmer
in the West or Northwest can-that is,
OF course, if he farms as he should.

What is the difference between the
Republican and the Democratic cam
paign hats? That is a question which
has been asked thousands of times. The
matters say that the hats are alike as to
color, both being a pearl color. The diff
ference is that the Democratic hat has q
black band and the Republican hat a
white band.-Siour City Journal.
This is about the hundredth time we
have seen this item-or one similar-and
the GRAPHIC gladly gives the very i'm
portant information wider publicity. for
If som Republican should get on the
wrong hat and some Democrat likewise,
this great and glorious republic of our
would receive a blow that would make
it reel on its throne in q manner horrible
to contemplate.

Congressman Anderson. of Iowa, re-

The thinking farmer In the Northwest
cannot for the life of him see wherein
the Mills bill. which reduces the tariff
but about seven per cent, strikes a blow
at American industries. When the
bowling leaders Of the Republican party
are confronted with this statement they
are forced to admit that forty per cent.
tariff is sufficient protection but seek
refuge behind the statement that the bill
is purely a sectional one and ought to be
rejected. Personally. the GRAPHIC be-
lieyes that sugar should be on the free
list-as well as salt. lumber. and other
necesslties-but 1t il exceedingly bad
grace for the Republican party, which is
welded to q high tariff on everything,
to ask or demand the repeal of the sugar
duty simply because it happens to be a
Southern industry. Tho Mills bill re.
duces the tariff on sugar $40, 600. 900
which surely ought to be enough to suit
the high tariff Republicans at least. The
charge Is made that the placing of wool
and Lumber on the free list is q direct
blow to Northern industry, but the Re-
publican party organs who are seeking
to throw dust in the eyes of the people
by such statements are silent as the
grave to the fact that Texas, MI. Mills
own state, contains five times as many
sheep as any northern state. and that the
states OF Georgia, Alabama. Arkansas,
and Tennessee contain the finest lumber
forests In the world. The Mills bill may
not be perfect-undoubtedly is not-but
1t appears to be an honest effort to relieve
the people to a slight extent from an un-
just and b%urdensome tribute to Eastern
monopolists. The Mills bill is lust such
a blll-to all intents and purposes-as
the Republican party has in years past
promised the people, but forsooth be.
cause it was drawn by a Democratic
congressman and supported by his party
they commenced bucking it on general
principles before the text of the bill was
fairly known, and. with false represen-
tstions-such as the free trade cry
have been keeping it up ever since for
purely partisans reasons.

The plan of advertising a town and

rsry last weekly sending regular cop
les of the local papers East-is the best
plan ever devised for advertising q town

cd, and the GRAPHIC has several times
advocated the plan in Kimb.ll. But, OF
course. such suggestions. coming from
the newspapers, are looked upon as be-
ing prompted by selfish motives Moth
ing could be farther from the truth. So
far as the GRAPHIC is concerned, it will

length of time. at actual cost of paper,
press work, and postage, the cost toS be
fixed by any outside newspaper man.

more diiIlcut TO break than the SO called
"tame' animals. But the wild stations
are, whenever possible, shot; both be-
cause of their propensity for driving off
the ranch mares, and because their in
durable viciousness makes them always
unsafe companions for other horses still
more than for men, A wild stallion
fears no beast except the grizzly, and
will not always finch from an encounter
with il; yet it is a curious fact that
jack will almost always kill one in fair
fight. The particulars of fight of this
sort were related to me by cattle man
who was engaged in bringing out hooded
stock from the east. Among the animals
under his charge were two great stations,
one gray and one black, and fine jack
ass, not much over half the size Of either
of the former. The animals were kept
in separate pens, but one day both horses
got into the same inclosure, next TO the
jack pen, and began to fight as only en-
ragged stations can, striking like boxers
with their fore feet and biting with their
teeth.
The gray was getting the best OF 1t;
but while clinched with his antagonist in
one tussle they rolled against the jack
pen, breaking 1t in. No sooner was the
jack at liberty than, with ears laid back
and mouth wide open, he made straight
for the two horses, who had for the mo-
ment separated. The gray turned to
meet him, rearing on his hind legs and
striking at him with his fore feet; but the
jack slipped in, and in minute grasped
his antagonist by the throat with his
wide open jaws. end then held ON like
bull dog, all four feet planted stiflly in
the soil. The stallion made tremendous
efforts 10 shake him of; he would try to
whirl round and kick him, but for that
the Jack was too short; then he would
rise up, lifting the jack of the ground,
and strike at him with lis fore feet: but
all that he gained by this was TO skin his
foes front legs without making linn loose
his hold. Twice they fell, and twice the
stallion rose, 10y main strength dragging
the jack with him: but all in vain.
Meanwhile the black horse attacked both
the combatants with perfect impartiality,
striking and kicking them with his hoofs,
while his teeth, as they slipped off Tho
tough hides, met with snap like that Of
bear trap. Undoubtedly the jack
would have killed at least one Of the
horses had not the men come up, and
with no small difficulty separated the
maddened brutes. Theodore Roosevelt
