Sinking CLERKS called Down.

WASHINGTON, July lS.-A curious
state of affairs has been brought to light
in the treasury department. 1t appears
that a number of clerks have been carried
upon the pay rolls, but have not even
been in the department for months. Their
pay has been sent to them regularly, but
their time has not been spent in serving
the government. The most conspicuous
case is that of a sister of Senator Allen of
Washington. 1t is said that while she
has drawn pay with promptness and reRu-
larity for the past two years, she has not
been seen in the treasury department
during that period. Another case is that
of a Pennsylvania who has been drawing
a salary from the government Tor nearly a
year. but has devoted his ehtire attention
to editing a country weekly in the Key
stone tate. Secretary Foster has caused
all the clerks who are away without APP
parent cause to either report to the de.
partment within thirty days or forfeit
their positions lt is thought this order
will be effective and bring iu a number of
clerks who have, through a number of
devices, been Sinking their duties.

LONDON, July 1S.-The Golden club,
at a meeting last night, adopted a report
which declares that # it had not been sug-
Gested by some home protectionist, it was
not likely that any c~olonist would have
been 50 unreasonable as to propose that
we should, while admitting colonial goods
free Of duty. tax similar commodities i'm
ported from foreign countries. While
the president OF the board of trade in the
government of Lord Salisbury delivers I'M
answerable refutatiOns of the argument
that it is a case Tor fiscal federation, as
presented by the United Trade League,
our free trade system does not appear to
be greatly endangered. But we must be
on our guard, as these proposals are now
strongly urged by colonists as well as by
the league. Protectionism in protection
list countries has not attained the height
at which it stood at the time OF Golden.
The interests of employers and land own
ers are powerful, and governments find it
comparatively easy to raise enormous
revenues by collision with the interests
which profit by protection"
The report also predicts that compost
tors and kindred trades will not suffer on
account Of the American copyright act.

the prohibition of American pork, which
takes immediate effect, simply enacts that
the duty on American salt pork, hams,
bacon. which paid eight and a half francs
before the prohibition, will now be twenty
francs per kilos. In accordance with the
new tariff all prohibitions will be abolished.
The immediate action of the decree is due
to the persistent pressure brought to bear
by United States Minister Reid, especi-

A PIGS REFLECTION.
The Pathetic Little story Told by tn
Pet OF the Hog Pen.

Pet Of the Hog PEN.
The pig has no better friend in the
northwest than Mr.. Owen. editor of
the Farm, Stock and Home, published
at Minneapolis, who in a recent issue
tells the following pathetic pig story:
My master gave me but little atten-
ton when l was nursing, forgot that
the best way to make me grow was to
feed my mother well, and now am
poor, scrawny little fellow, and the
time to make me grow the fastest and
the cheapest is gone forever. Won
der why men can't learn to raise pigs
right Humph! the most of 'em can't
even raise n boy right Guess III go
and write this on my pen so my master
can see it: The well-fed sow is the
boss feeding machine for the young
pig, and the cheapest porl<-maler
known, then maybe he'll do better
next time
MY master lives in sight of flour
mill and a grain elevat tor, and, oh,
what lots of good stuff see going out
of them that my mother tells me pigs
hundreds of miles away get to eat.
and it makes them fat and happy. If
4
stuff and ship it hundreds of miles to
feed to their pigs. don't see why my
master can't afford to buy it; and it
would taste so good, and | would feel
better, too, if l could have some of it
in place of this hard corn all the time.
There is a hole in the trough eat
out of: my master thought he stopped
it up with n corn-cob, but he didn't,
and so the swill runs out and / guess
the rats under our floor get more of it
than we do. Sometimes l wish / was
rat.
my mother tells me great pains was
taken to get me large, fat father;
and he was nice, too, she says, and |
looked like him when l was q baby,
but she thinks l won't be much such a
hog when / am grown up. She says
my papa told her that what made him
so large and round and nice was lots
of good things to eat when he was
young, not just one thing all the time,
but that stuff from the mill, and such
| things. My mother says it don't make
any difference what kind of papa a
pig has, If he isn't fed right, and don't
have good pen and is sort o. well
taken care of he won't amount to
much. She says, of course blood will
tell, but it won't tell half so much to
a half-starved pig as it will to one with
a belly full of good stuff. and my
mother knows what she is talking
| ahout' -
