MIR. David Adams lost a fiue Young
horse on Friday morning last 1t is
claimed somebody left the gate open of
the field in which they were 10, and all
his horses got out and went upon the
railway track. One was caught by the
engine. which cut of one leg. II had to

Wasn't 1t very naughty for that LADY
in the postoff1ce to tell Mr.. Quay's 500
that his fathers mail now went TO the
dead letter Officer OF course it was a
heinous crime for which Mr.. Wsnamaker
dismissed her. No one will say that she
did right in so expressing herself to Mr..
Quay's son. But then compare her ex-
preston, for which she was removed
from the position. to Mr.. Quay's blocks
OF 1ve letters that he sent To Indiana,
advising and scheming and plotting for
the purchasing OF votes and thus over
thi owing our republican form of govern
ment, which Judge Woods decided WAS
not an indictsble offeDse." Which was
the greatest crime aud who ought to re-
| ceive the greatest punishment
We are told that the Mckinley bin pro.
tees the farmers because il places duty
OF twenty five cents per bushel on wheat
and fifteen cents per bushel on corn and
oats. II Il few farmers should conclude
then that they would like to change their
seed and try a new variety, and should
send to England or Scotland for 500
bushels of wheat for that purpose, they
would have to pay $3.50 duty. Is that
| protection for the farmers7 ooh no, y
they say, but If 1t was not for that duty
OF % cents per bushel on wheat. India
and Russia would bring their wheat to
this country and undersell us. and We
would have to compete with Russian
serf." Do not India and Russia take
their surplus crop into the markets OF the
world where they can obtain the best
| pricesT Do not We take our surplus
and sell il where we can obtain the best
| pricess Do not we have to compete
then with India and Russians serp in the
markets of the worldf II it was not for
that twenty-five cents duty on whest.
would outgoing cargoes OF American
| wheat be apt to meet incoming cargoes
of Indian and Russian whestb Would
not that be something like carrying coal
to Newcastle? The farmers can see that
their business Is such that the govern
ment can not in the nature of thing.
| afford their commodities any adequate
| protection inasmuch as they produce
more than can be used at home. They
need the world 10 sell their surplus In,
and have little TO fear from the COMPETE
ton of other nations.
