Practical encouragement to the
Farmer.

The uew Republican tariff bill viii help
the farmer in every branch Of his calling.
That is its chief OF set. and before the lapse
OF year il will b. favorably ielt in every
farming section Of the land. But there Is
one particular feature which will fad speedy
appreciation and almost universal applica-
ton We refer to sheep raising and TO wool
clips. PHor 10 the reduction Of the wool
tariffs in 1883. this branch Of the farm work
was profitable aud extensive. but the Morrill,
tariff Of 1861 did not, favorable rs Il was.
promise half 50 well for the farmer as the
Mckinley bill, and this general truth applies
with full for e 70 sheep and wool raising.
The conditions now are greatly different
Far more wool Is required nov than ever
before, for our idle manufacturers need only
an abundant home product of wool TO en-
able them TO furnish to our home markets
nearly all Of the woolen apparel worn. Soon
the mountains and hillsides Of every portion
Of Pennsylvania, as well ss Of every other
State, will be subjected TO the peaceful tramp
Of grazing hOcks. and lands not otherwise
available for profitable use will come into
full play. We have no Faith in the state
ment that America csnnot grow fine wools.
We have here nearly every climate known
10 the world. and every form Of climate
adapted ID successful wool raising we have
he grsssts 10 richness and variety, and all
that has ever been needed to encourage and
develop tie industry is system OF tariff as
favorable as those provided In the Mckinley
bill.
The new tariff. for which the people are
wholly indebted TO Republican Congress
and President. should. and we believe will.
find hearty endorsement. given universally
and as eInphatically as that BY Maine. A
failure to endorse will only renew an ag;ta-
ton which viii sadly continue the recent
interference with all branches Of business.
So that it is the plain duty Of the farmer.
who sees in the new tariff the things which
viii improve his condition, and the business
man who sees things well calculated to aid
him, to mite IN 50 voting as TO show their
endorsement Of the law Aud the only way
that this can be done through the ballot is
70 vote solidly for the Republican State,
Congressional, legislative and county tick
els. This Is business-Iike politics in support
Of a bnsinsss-like tariff law. The people of
can be trusted for favorable
response despite deceptive side issues.

Kicked in the Door.

WAsHIseroS, Sept. 1s.--An exciting Incl
deat occurred in the House 10 day, As q re-
suli Of which one distinguished Representa-
tive from Maine has a broken nose and the
chamber Of the House broken door, both
caused by the vigorous kick of Texan Rep
resentatiTeis foot.
The Lsngstoa-Venable contested election
case was to bsve come up. and the Demo-
Gratis to prevent it broke up quorum. The
Speaker ordered call Of the roll on the sp
proval Of the journal. During the call Of the
ron the door, which has always been kept
open TO allow ingress and egress, was latch
ed. and two doorkeepers were stationed st
il TO prevent merobers from leaving the
chamber.
The inst gentleman to resent this enforced
imprisonment was Kilgor, of Texas. who
forced back the slight isstenings with Wig
orous kick and walked into the lobby. He
was soon followed by Grain. OF Texas, Cum
mings, Of New York, and Coleman, OF Lou
isiana
Mr.. Dingley, Of Maine. was directly in
front Of the door whea Mr.. Kilgore broke the
latch. Mr.. Dingley received the .ull force Of
the coneussion in the face and his nose bled
pFofuseiy. Il is thought IL is broken.

Science BaffIed.


CRIcaeo, September ls-Paul "A. John
stone, the mind resder whose recent feat OF
picking . name out of the register at the
Grand Pscifc Hotel after long drive blind
folded through crowded streets attracted
such wide attention, performed another feat
to day which to all appearances totally dis
proves the theory that man possesses only
five senses and also the belief that mind
reading is really a species of muscle reading.
Johnsione opened q difficult co,nbina-
ton safe at the Wellington Hotel and
under the following remarkable circum-
stances:
lie was first blindfolded and the bandsges
thoroughly examined by a com mitiee. His
ears were packed with cotton so 1t was inn
possible for him 70 hear, then bis nostriIs
were similarly filed to destroy, for the time
being, the sense of smell, and finally his
hands were covered with thick kid gloves to
disproFe the theory Of muscle reading. In
bis month he held q lighted cigar. so that
even the sense Of taste was temporarily de-
stroyed- The proprietors and bookeeper of
the hotel then took position behind him,
and while Johnstone turned the knob Of the
ssfe, they were requested to think of the
combination. Without touching either Of
the gentlemen, the mind reader turned cor
rectly TO the umbers and Swung the door
open- The crowd which witnessed the act
cheered him repeatedly.
Johnstone declares that his idea in OPEN
ing the safe under such peculiar conditions
was simply to prove that man actually pos
sesses more than five senses, and that science
is In error. In conversation the mind read
er couples his performance to-day as in some
respects comparing in importance TO the
scientific world with the discovery Of the
circulation Of the blood, or the Law of gray
itafiou.
