IN THE INTEREST OF FARMERS.

Ex-President Cleveland Says That Tarin
Reform 10 Their Remedy.
PrrTsBuRa, May IA special from Steu-
benville, Ohio, says a few weeks ago the
corresponding secretary of local lodge Of
the Farmers alliance wrote ex-President
Cleveland, enclosing copy Of the deolara-
tion of the purposes of the alliance and ask
ing Cleve!and's views thereon; also, on a
protective tariff. Mr.. Cleveland has re-
piled at some length. In the course of his
letter he says: The indifference which the
farmers of the country have shown to an
adjustment of the tariff system, and the
ease with which they have been led away
from sober consideration Of their needs
and rights have excited his surprise. Strug-
gle as they may, farmers must continue to
be purchasers and consumers of numberless
things enhanced in cost by the tariff.
Surely they have a right to insist that this
cost must not be increased for the pupose
OF collecting unnecessary revenue or to
give undue advantage to domestic manufac-
turers. The plea that infant industries need
protection which impoverishes farmers and
consumers is. in view of our national ad-
vantages, the skill and ingenuity of our
people, a hollow protext. A plausible pre-
sentation of the blessing Of our home mar
ket should not deceive impoverished agri-
culturista and there is no market for them
which does not take its instructions from
seaboard to seaboard. Mr.. Cleveland ex-
presses his pleasure at seeing farmers
arousing themselves to tariff reform.

Heavy Rains and Snow Storms In tho Mis-

TOWNSEND, Mont, May 1.-[Special.] J.
The district court at White Sulphur ad-
journing last evening Judges Henry, Wade,
Bach and Mcconnell together with Nc
Intyre Bros. and other Helena attorneys
came over this morning by livery teams
facing the snow and sleet storm across the
belt range, yet reaching here in time to
catch the west-bound passenger at l:20 p,
m. for the capital.
The extraordinary Developments at Castle
and Neihart and the prospect of . railroad
in this county are bringing in many per-
sons from outside to investigate the mines
and look out for chances. The Park Min
ing company, of Thunder mountain, is just
now reported as hauling up machinery for a
concentrator.
A much needed and invaluable rain of
two hours visited this valley to-day, while
heavy snow storms continued from morning
till night on surrounding hills. The upper
Missouri at this point is asserted to be as
high now as at any time last season.

Destruction In Ohio.


AKRON, May 11.-Darkness set in 10 soon
after the tornado that tore through tho
southern part OF the city Saturday evening
that not half an idea could be gotten of the
feroeness or extent of the terrible storm.
It moved in an almost straight line through
the well-settled part of the city, and
scarcely foot of the mile and half but
is strewn to-day with mass Of tim
bers, broken furniture, uprooted trees and
leveled barns and outhouses. In trip
dwellings were counted either ripped into
that they cannot be occupied. Twenty
families, numbering seventy-hve persons
are out Of house and home and are being
sheltered by friends. OF eighteen persons
injured, all will probably recover. Seventy
five buildings including residences, barns
and outhouses, were damaged by wind and
not one escaped that was in direct line Of
the tornado. Uprooted trees are counted
by SCORES. Outhouses in some cases were
transplanted from fifty to one hundred
feet and set down in neighboring yards.
Thousands of people visited the scene Of
destruction to-day. In several churches re-
lief papers were started and several thou-
sand dollars will be raised for the immedi-
ate wants of homeless people. William
Poole and daughter, who had just driven
into their barn, were caught up with the
building and rolled with 1t to the bottom
of hill, on which it stood. That no lives
were lost is most wonderful. In many in
stances families escaped by taking refuge
in cellars.

The Silver Question.

There is general impression in Wash
ington that owing to the favorable senti-
ment in congress on silver legislation.
huge silver corner has been formed taking
in all the large mine owners in this coun-
try. One reason given why the silver
lobbyists here are anxious to shut out
foreign silver in the proposed bills is to al
low them to work the corner more success
fully. But as it now seems apparent that
no discrimination will be made, the silver
men will be obliged to take in those men,
who will purchase foreign silver for the
purpose Of speculation. Already number
of men are figuring on the purchase of a
large quantity of silver bullion in foreign
countries. Officials in high places have
been asked to give them suggestions as to
whether it would be safe to buy. 1t may be
that the dumping in of foreign silver will
break the corner that has been organized.
Latest advices from Europe are to the effect
that spectators are securing an option on
all the silver bullion they can. in order to
sell to the United States, it being apparent
that the present bill calls for fifteen mill
ions more than the country produces.

A Flaw in the Exclusion Law.

Assistant Secretary Tichenor has written
letter to the house committee on appro.
priations in regard to the immigration Law
and the Chinese exclusion act. He calls at
tention to the fact that while the immigrant
law prohibits landing i'll this country OF
convicts. lunatics, idiots and pnupers, who
come by water in vessels of any description
it fails to meet the case of immigrants OF
this character who enter the country by
land from the contiguous country.
The department has received reports of a
large number of these people who recently
came into the country from Mexico and
Canada. Tichenor Suggests an amendment
to the law to prevent the continuance of
this kind of immigration. He recommends
increased appropriations for the enforce
ment of alien contract labor laws and the
Chinese exclusion act. and also that the
secretary be authorized to return to China
at the governments expense, all Cinnamon
found. being in this country in violation oi
the law.
