The secretary of Agriculture Gives Som.
Good Advice to Farmers.
Columbus. O., Sept. 19.-There were
As, OJO people in attendance at the State
fair yesterday. A feature was the pres
ence Of j. NJ. Rusk, Secretary of Agri-
culture. He delivered an address
on the grounds, and after being in
troduced by ex-President Hayes,
among other things said he con-
graduated the farmers upon the de-
velopment OF agricultural organizations,
justified their determination to no longer
be satisfied with comparisons OF the adj
vantages they now enjoyed with the
privileges enjoyed by their sires but to
insist upon their full share with their
city brothers in the general prosperity to
which they contributed so much. He
warned them, however, not to
expect impossible results from
legislative action and advised such
conservatism in the formu-
lation of their plans of action as would
surely enlist public opinion on their
side as essentials to success in a country
where the majority always ruled. He
cautioned the farmer, while firmly
maintaining his own rights, to respect
those of all other classes of worker
and to seek the accomplishment
OF his plan rather with them
than by antagonizing existing politi-
cal parties Lastly he pledged to the
farmer the hearty cooperation and aid
of the Department of Agriculture
whose work he referred to briefly, lay.
ing especial stress upon the pure food
question and the control and extirpation
of animal diseases, and taking occasion
in this connection to declare his per-
sonal conviction that pleuro-pneumonia
was practically eradicated from Ameri-
can coil

Preconcerted Double Suicide of Dlsap-
pointed Lovers in New York.
NEW YORK. Sept. 19.-Early this
morning, Emily Rossi. aged nineteen,
committed suicide by shooting herself
in the breast with 32-calibre revolver,
in her room at 40 Canal street
Immediately before the report Of the
girls pistol was heard. Gustave G. Koch,
who stood on the elevated railroad plat
form almost under her room window,
sent a bullet through his head.
Koch was a crayon artist of consider
able local note. Emile Rossi was his
betrothed. She was member Of Am
berg's stock company, and only tempo.
rarily occupied the room in which she
committed suicide.
The cause of the double suicide is not
known, but it is supposed to have re-
suited from the opposition which the
girls father had to Emilie's marriage
with the young artist.

Lagonda left this port on whaling voy-

she finally reached Vladovistock.

the captain to sail for Yokohama, where
she could be surveyed. The captain
started for Yokohama, but soon after

Acts OF Congress FAN to Restrain the Prac-
tics Of Plurality Of Wives.
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Sept 19.-The
Utah Commission has forwarded to the
Secretary of the Interior q lengthy re-
port OF its operations and proceedings
for the year ended September 1, 1890.
The principal feature of the report is
the recommendation of further legisla-
ton in support of the existing laws
After reviewing the elections held in
Utah since their last report the Com.
missioners say: During the year there
has been frequent expressions of the
hope that the Church would in some au.
thoritative and explicit manner declare
in favor of the abandonment Of polyg.
amy or plural marriage as one of the
saving doctrines or teachings of the
Church, but no such declaration has
been made. There is little use for
doubling, so complete is the control Of
the Church over its people that if such
a declaration were made by those in
authority it would be accepted and fol-
lowed by large majority of the men,
bers of the so-called Mormon Church,
and settlement of the much discussed
Mormon question would soon be
reached. On the contrary. in all the
teachings in the tabernacle and the
Church organs every effort of the Gov
eminent to suppress this crime is still
denominated as persecution, and those
charged with ferreting out and prose-
cutting the guilty are denominated as
prosecutors Of the saints"
In conclusion the Commission repeats
what 1t said in its last report-that lin
this matter the Government and the
Congress should take no backward or
even wavering step. but should continue
the active and vigorous enforcement OF
the laws and the improvement of them
by the amendment Of such as would
make them more effective, and by en-
acting such other laws as experience
may show to be wise and efficacious tc
accomplish the desired end"

A certain class of idiots think that

you see, though We are not extravagant we

CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN.

Shall the Next Congress Have Majority Of
Free Traders or PrOtectionists:
Congressional nominations are being
made almost daily. and from the candi-
dates speech or letter of acceptance we
can gather the principles that are to be
fought for this fall OF course the
tariff question is foremost In fact it
seems to be the only issue. The Demo
Gratis are evidently firing of Tariff Re-
FORM and have decided to call things
by their right names, and all give utter
ance to about the same sentiments The
following quotation from the speech of
NJ. D. Harter, nominated by the Dem
ocrats of the Fifteen Ohio district may
be taken as tersely expressed speci-
men:
Iwould abolish every custom house in the
land. 1 would rather vote for the establish.
ment of an institution to spread the cancer
or n field in which to propagate cholera, or
a school in which to teach vice and crime,
rather than to vote for protective tariff OF
any kind.
These sentiments were uproariOusly
applauded. showing that his views were
heartily Endorsed by all his wOuld-be
constituents. The Democrats are evil
IDENTIFY following the lead of Henry
George, who said in the Standard Of
April 80:
The tariff question will be renewed at the
polls at the coming fall elections, and the
duty rests upon us-the real free traders OF
America-to exercise wisdom and display
activity in ass sting to bring free traders
forward as candidates, and in helping to
cleo. them when they are nominated.
Well this is what we want q good
square fight
Let protectionists in every district in
the United States nominate only candi-
dates who declare themselves ''uncom-
promisingly in favor of the American
system of protection" and who can be
relied upon to vote as they talk.
The issue is plain and simple. Shall
the Fifty-second Congress have ma
jority of free traders or protectionists?
