NrnterInl for RoIler Towela.

The best thing of which to make roller
towels is Russian crash. / am told it is
woven by hand by Russian peasants. Al
any rate, the best and medium qualities
are more satisfactory for roller towels than
any other crash | know, and are least OBJ
iectionable when new. just here comes in
word as to when to begin using new
towels. Let it be in the summer time
when skins are not chapped or sensitive
and when laundry work is so much easier
that the conscience feels less conjunction
at putting slightly soiled towels into the
wash for frequent laundering. One who
has ever supplied towels for a group Of
growing boys and girls will know that
new towels in winter make sorry work
Nor Is this at variance with the advice to
buy in the winter. Buy and freeze, and
then wait for summer to continue the nee
essary softening process. = Cor. GOOD

The North avenue electric car that left
the terminus of the road, at the corner of
Tenth street and North avenue, ut G
O'Clock one evening was crowded with
passengers, who were packed inside and
on the platforms like sardines. The con-
ductor on the rear platform yelled, 'All
aboardl' and released the brake. The ma
chine moved off, gaining speed every sec
ond. It was dusk, and persons on the road
could not be recognized from the car.
When the machine got start OF a couple
hundred feet man was seen running after
it, waving his arms frantically and yelling
vociferously The conductor waited while
to sec II the man wanted ride very much
before he touched the bell cord. The man
acted as though his life depended on catch
ing the car, and the conductor pulled the
rope. On sped the car at an increased rate
of speed. A second passed, two, three,
four, and still the car did not slack The
conductor pulled the rope again viciously,
thinking the engineer did not hear the first
ring. A third time the bell was rung, and
still the machine was increasing In speed
and was descendinga long and steep grade.
The conductor leaned over the side of the
platform and yelled at the engineer, but
received no response The posts along the
route few by rapidly, and the car was NOV
ing at the rate of thirty miles an hour.
The conductor tumbled over the persons
standing In the car as he rushed through
to the front platform. No engineer was
there The brakes were found to be un.
manageable, and the car could not be
stopped until it ran some distance up the
next hill.
The car stood there 1--WE minutes, when
the engineer, George Glenn, reached it out
of breath. He was the man seen waving at
the car at the terminus, and the car rushed
masterless at terrific rate Of speed down
a steep grade for more than half a mile

The Chicago Times pays the follow
| ing handsome tribute TO the late John
C. Campbell, in which, after a long
and intimate acquaintance with
Mr.. Campbell, we beg leave to add our
most hearty concurrence;
j. c. Campbell, chairman of the
Democratic State Central Committee,
whose sudden death is announced, was
an honorable, high-minded man,
whose loss especially to his party, is
deDlorable. He was an earnest and
honest party man, who fought entirely
in the open. There was no chicane in
his methods, no tolerance of devious
ways, no self-seSking, no willingness
to profit by Misrepresentation. He held
the conviction firmly that as the party
of reduction the Democracy mer-
tied success, and in his ardOr for pub
lie cause which he deemed righteous
he gave ungrudgngly of his time and
his means. That the party was for a
time in Illinois apparently in hopeless
minority did not discourage him. 1t
his efforts, for he felt that the time
was surely coming when the cause
which he ceaselessly cherished would
triumph through the awakening of
the electors of Illinois to their own in
terest. He made almost sacrifice of
his business interests in order fully to
meet the party task deyolved upon
him, and worked with clean hands,
sturdy determination, and high re-
solve to the accomplishment of an
honorable aim. The party will be for
tunate if it enlists in his place the ser
vice of chairman as devoted and dis
interested. The task is thankless.
There is little real appreciation of the
work. But it is a necessity. Some
one must bear the burden. 1t will be
well if it is as wOrthily borne as Camp
bell bore IL,

Tn Mckinley committee, since the
publication of the draft of their new
tariff bill as first agreed on, have heard
from the country and concluded to
drop out the tariff on hides, raw silk
and tin plate, and a few other
changes in favor of lower taxation are
rromised. A majority member of the
committee now claims that with these
elimations, the increased duties are
few, except such as are intended to
favor the farmer, who he says has been
kept in the fore all the time, and. the
list of farm products upon which a
tariff is laid is long one; ''but," he
adds, "these are sentimental rather
than practical benefits" A confes-
sion like that ought to be sufficient
to open the eyes of the farmer. What
good is it to the farmers to be kept in
the fore all the time If the benefits
offered them are only "sentimental":
The plain English Of this is that a
big show is made OF benefting the
farmer only to fool him.

clearly defined limits the citizens
knew only of heavy rain, accompan-
led by a high wind. Soon came the
alarm of fire from dozen different
stations, and the horrors OF the Ca
lamity began to dawn upon the pc0-
pie. Some 200 houses are In ruins,
while the number of dead is estimated
at from 200 to 500. The telegraph an
nounces that Bowling Green, KY, a

down no details are given. The storm
at Metropolis, ILL.,, was earlier in the
afternoon. 1t cut swath a quarter
of a mile wide straight through the
town. Between POO and 300 houses

and injured is large. In Chicago
there was also big blow. In the
city little damage was done; out on

by AUTHORITY.

The Hon. jerry Rusk, the head OF the
Agricultural Department at Wash.
ington, has found it incumbent upon
him, by virtue of his position, to put
forth an authoritative statement on
the Causes and Cure of the Present
Agricultural Depression in the United
States Though quite wordy and
pretentious in its statements, the
whole may be boiled down into half
a dozen lines. The cause Of the dis
tress of the farmers he finds in over
production, and the manipulations OF
the middlemen. Though the crops
of wheat and corn show no marked
steady increase during the last -four
years, while consumption has steadily
increased, prices have not kept up as
they ought to have done, because Un-
Gle Jerry agreeing with what Mr.. Pills
bury and Sam Allerton have repeat
cdly said, the middlemen-the board
of trade operators, and most notably
the bucket shops, have so demoralized
the markets by their extensive deal
ings in futures, that prices have clean
gone astray.
The only remedy for the evil Uncle
Jerry can see is to stop production.
Not only the United States, but the
whole world, is making too much
bread and meat, and if something Is
not done to stop this outrageous de-
velopment of the fruits of the earth,
everybody will starve. The farmers
must diversity their crops-qult rails
ing so much wheat and corn, and
raising so many horses, cattle and
hogs, and either let their grounds lie
fallow, or turn their attention tC
beets, sorghum, poultry and eggs
The suggestion will no doubt be re-
ceived with unbounded enthusiasm
by the farmers of the great North
west, who, in all their anxious cOgl
tation on the subject of what it was
most profitable to raise, never hap
pened to hit on so happy an idea.
But whether Uncle Jerry's sugges
tions are in the right direction or not
and he touches the point very gingerll
and with great show of hesitation, OF
another point he is quite positive; the
present agricultural depression ha
nothing to do with the tariff. TIL,
depression Is not confined to tn,
United States, but is world wide, an(
oar tariff certainly cannot effec
France, Germany, Austria, etc. Blu
may it not have occurred to Uncl
Jerry that while In the United State
the tariff is robbing the farmers RICH
and left, another robbery, even create
in extent, might be crushing the agrl
culturists of the old world in the form
OF the oppressive land taxes they ar
subjected to to support bloated aris
tocracy and immense standing armies
The evil in both cases Is excessive tax
alton, and the instrument of that tar
alton in the U. S. Is robber tariff
and its motive miscalled protection

the classes; and though the motiv
and instrument in other countrie

TRADE WITH SOUTH AMERICA,

The story telegraphed a few days
ago from Washington that Mr.. Blaine
had authorized our delegates to the
| Pan-American conference to propose
to the representatives of the Argen'
| tine Republic absolute free trade be
tween the two countries is absolutely
contradicted by Senior Don Manuel
Quintana, the representative of that
country. The story probably origi'
mated, he says, from the fact that the
American delegates had asked him
how such proposition would be re-
ceiyed by his government, but with a
distinct reservation that they had nc
authority to make such proposition.
"Of course says Senior Quintana, 81
could not seriously consider question
put in such a manner" On the con-
trary, he says, when he saw in the new
tariff bill prepared by the Mckinley
committee that no duties on Argen-
tine products were lowered, but that
the duty on wool was increased, and a
duty laid on hides, which hitherto
were free, he had even advised the
American delegates that the recon-
mendation to his governments as to the
grant of a subsidy to the proposed
steamship line would be withdrawn.
AS to the point made that the
United States already admits free of
duty So per cent. Of all the goods
South America sends to her, that,
said Senior Quintana, ''simply means
that American merchants only buy
what they can import with profit, and
naturally those articles are duty free
and are imported, while those liable
to heavy rates are not. The rest go
to England, and as she admits not only
our chief staple, wool, but all our
other surplus products, free, it is but
natural that we trade with her."
Mr.. Flint, one of the U. S. delegates,
being questioned in regard to the
rumOred Blaine offer, said of course
there was nothing in it; yet he ad-
mitted that, 'It would be most profit
able for this country if absolute free
trade between the republics of the
Americas could be brought about.
Every interest throughout the East,
West and Pacific slope would be bene-
flied indirectly, and most of them
directly, by the more extended market
for our products" Yet in the present
attitude of congress and the Republi-
can party on the subject such thing
was out Of the question, and Senior
Quintana, no doubt, was quite right
in saying there was no sense in sub
sldizing ships to connect country
whose tariff duties repel his own
country's productions.
