Farmers Against Free Trade.
Pioneer Press


The Farmers of the Northwest are 40
solidly against free trade as the farmers
of New York or Massachusetts,. For
they know very we'll that they must
depend almost wholly upon the homo
market for the profitable sale Of their
products; that 96 per cent OF the wheat
produced in this country is consumed
in this country, and that the same 10
CORE 'pondingly true of all farm pro.
ducts. What would become OF the
farmers If the millions OF men now en-.
gagged in other industrial occupations
we're driven from employment by the
free competition Of the cheap labor oi
Europe and forced out OF the ranks oi
the consumers into that Of the producera
OF agricultural products!

Naval Ansdsmu Rsnnrt.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-In his an
nual report to the secretary of the navy
Commander w. T: Sampson, superin-
tendent of the United States naval
academy, says that at the close of the
academic year in June, 1888, there
were 19l cadets at the academy as
against 232 at the opening in 1887. To-
tai number of cadets now in academy
is 237. Academy superintendent says:
During the year one cadet was dis
missed for bad conduct, thirteen third
class cadets were tried for haZing
fourth class men on board practice
ship. Nine of these were recommend
ed for dismissal by court, but were
pardoned by the president. Every eff
fort will be made to wipe out the last
traces of this Objectionable practice and
with this object in view all class or
CARNATIONS in either third or fourth
classes have been forbidden.

DISORDER PREVAILs IN nAYII.

Vessels ssised Is PIunder and Rival Factions Par.
Hal to Assassination.
NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-MeSsTs. Mes
senger s. Co. of Maiden Lane received
following letter from the captain Of
one of their vessels at Port au Prince
yesterday. In view of the serions ma
ture of the communication they have
forwarded it to the state department at
Washington with request that Min
ister Bayard order another gun boat
down to Hayti at once: Northern
ports are all blOckaded in open viola
ton Of international law, and the Wild
est disorder prevails in Port au Prince.
Both parties are partial to assassina-
ton. General Telemaque was basely
aSsassinated. Were it not for this he
would certainly have been elected and
there is no doubt but tnat he would
have served the people faithfully. Port
au Prince, Petit Gooye, LeOgane, Jere-
mis-. Aux Cayes and Miragoone alone
are in favor of General Legitime, the
rest of the country having declared for
General Hippolyte.
The steamer Haytian Republic
was seized as pirate and not a block
ade runner. The Haytians wanted to
shoot all the officers and crew, but the
foreign consul protested against this
and the lives OF the Americans were
therefore spared. There is only one
man Of war in the harbOr of Port au
Prince and she is flying the French
flag. There are seven American ves-
sells now detained at this port and
there is absolutely no defence In case
the mob should take notion to com.
NIT depredatioBs. The schooner
William Jones of Boston was recently
seized and their captain Informed
me that the Haytians fired a shot
across her bows, compelling her te
heave to when they boarded her and
put the crew in irons. They then
towed the schooner to Port au Prince
where she is detained as prize. This
seizure was made seven miles out al
sea and the captain of the William
Jones has protested against the illegal
seizure to Minister Thompson. The
other American vessels cannot get theil
clearance papers or cargo, and thOsG
| which will be permitted to depart viii
have to return to the United States il

FOR BENEFIcTARIfS ONLY.

Insurance Policies Cannot be Touched by the Cred
itors ofan InsolVent State.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 15.-The Uni
ted States supreme court through
Chief Justice Fuller has rendered an
opinion of unusual interest to holders
of life insurance policies. Thomas l..
Hume of the district of Columbia died
in 1881. totally insolvent. but leaving
$50, 900 in life insurance policies. The
policies were by their terms payable
either to the widow or children of the
deceased. The administrators and
creditors of Hume sought to force the
application of the proceeds of the pol
icies to the payment of the debts due
the creditors on the grounds that
pI6miums paid by Hume were fraud
ulent transfer of an insolvent
estate and void as against the creditors
and that consequently the proceeds of
the policies should insure to the bene-
tit of Hume's estate and not to the
benificiers named in the policies. The
supreme court holds that the beneh-
Charles are entitled to the proceeds of
all the policies without any deduction
whatever on account OF premiums paid
holding that a husband and father has
full right to insure his life in the in
tereSt of his wife and children and that
where such policies are effected in the
name of the beniticiaries, they are
no part of the estate of a deceaed in
solvent and therefore cannot be regar-
| ded as a fraudulent assignment
of any part Of his estate when so eff
| factad

John B. Carson, vice president,
Col. John A. Bridgeland, of Richmond,

in the day hard at work trying TO make
hole in his big accumulation of cor
respondence and keeping two swift
stenographers going the entire
time. There is but "A slight

numbers of ballots and mementoes of

ing the campaign the general was the
recipient Of large number of badges

banners, all relics of his grand

To political students as a surviving tes-
timent Of the enthusiasm and the issue
of those eventful times. The unusual

tors at the Harrison residence have eX-
hibited in these campaign relics has
suggested to number Of
the idea OF making a similar collection
of the badges, buttons. medals, coins,
and other devices employed in the late
memorable campaign. Such collec-
ton would be fitting supplement to
the William Henry Harrison relics and
it is at the solicitation of
those friends Of the president-elect
that manufacturers Of late campaign
badges, buttons and medals are re-
quested to kindly forward sample Ga
each device to George G. Hit, the
business manager of the Indianapolis
Journal. who has been selected to act
as receiving custodian of the memen-
toes until they shall be depOsi-
ted beside the others in
General Harrison's residence. Among
the unique kilograms received, is one
from Buffalo Jones, of Garden City,
Kansas, who says:
magnificent fat buffalo for your great
feast. To be sure the Buffalo
nominee, that was roasted last
Tuesday, atones for republican
folly, so let US eat, drink and be mer-
ry."
Another damage suit growing out of
the election was filed to-day against
United States Marshal Hawkins,
claiming ten thousand dollars for
false imprisonment. This makes fully
q dozen suits against the marshal for
arrests made by his deputies. The dam
ages asked aggregate about $500. 900.

Bad Outlook for NuIar..

MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi, Nov. 1.-THE
Northwestern Miller ran extra strong
last week and in a degree made up for
the short shut down of others. In
this way the output was kept from suf-
fering very much Of q shrinkage. The
total production for the week lending
Nov. 10) was lag, 500 barrels, averaging
24,967 barrels daily, against 10000
barrels the previous week, and 147 300
barrels for the corresponding time in
1887. Our millers without exception
complain OF milling being very dull
and quite general shutting down Of
mills seems likely TO occur soon as
navigation closes. Already there
is a feeling of indifference
about running prevailing and some
stoppages having occurred. Next to
the heaviest firm in the city on Satur-
day stopped two mills representing q
combined product of $500 barrels,
while 1t already had idle one of an
equal capacity.
A $4,000 barrel mill was shut down
this morning and there are numerous
others whose stoppage seems only a
mEtter of q few days.
