Montana Woods.

[Justice, Batemau & Co.'s Wool Circular
The Montana clip is arriving quite
freely. So far, it is held above the
views of buyers, because the condition
is believed to be better than last year.
Choice, fine, sound, deep-grown wool is
offered at 22c., and the short, sta
pied fieeces and those in average con-
dition only are offered at 20c. The
hest clips of fine medium are held at
23c. for fine choice fieeces, while aver
age is offered at gle. These prices
were paid last year. All other woods
except Montana are offered below last
years prices. Sellers claim that in
selling Montana woods at last years
prices, owing to the improved condi-
ton OF the fleece, the secured cost is
less than last year Pending the truth
OF this by tests of sample bales, manu-
facturers are holding of. Montana
wool this season is preferred
to all other territorial wool and
so long as this preference continues,
the demand for it may preventits fall-
ing below the prices which sellers ask.
Manufacturers would be free buyers
at l or &c. per pound below holders
figures. Their offers are based on the
assumption that the condition is no
better than last year. Sellers main
tain that both the staple and condI-
ton of Montana woods are better than
for several years. When sufficient has
arrived to determine this point these
woods will probably be active.

Stonewall Jackson's Riding.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat Stone
wall Jackson was the worst rider in
both armies. He wobbled about in
the saddle like a-man in ~ state of
profound intoXication, and seemed
every moment about to fall off his
horse. He never fell, but always kept
the spectators betting odds with
themselves that he would before he
had gone another hundred yards.
His wonderfully bad riding was as
well known in the Federal as in the
Confederate army, ana once nearly
led to his capture by an outpost. 1t
was during his famous march to Bull
Run that jackson and several men,
bers of his staff undertook to do
little reconnoitering on their own ac-
count. The weather was bad, and it
was wet and rainy, and they had on
long waterproof coats that completely
concealed their uniforms. They com
Dleted the examination OF the country
they were looking over, and turned to
go back when they found, on nearing
a bridge over a small stream, that the
approach to 1T was guarded by de-
tachment of Federal troops having a
piece of artillery which they had plant
ed on the road in a position from
which it could rake the bridge. Jack
son did not hesitate a moment. Gal
Looping up behind his men he shouted
to the officer in commands: "Who
directed you to put that gun on the
roady Take it. away and mount it in
the woods on the hill yonder. never
saw such a piece OF folly. Here in the
open ground your men will be shot
down from the brush on the other
side" On he went as though in a ter
rible passion, berating the officer, who
colored, apologized, and hastily gave
the order for removing the gun. Jack
son with his staff at his heels galloped
off to the left as though to pass down
the stream, made a sudden turn,
thundered across the bridge and es-
capped. The befuddled officer in COM
mand of the gun had not gone far
when he saw Jackson and his party
cross the bridge toward the enemy's
lines, and, conjecturing the truth from
Jackson's riding, got his gun into po-
sition and sent shot after them. 1t
was not, however, till the next day
that he learned from prisoner that
his guess had been correct, and that
the officer who fell into such passion
ABOUT the gun was no other than the
famous Confederate general.

The Tariff on Farm Products.

Every free-trade writer and orator
hastens to assure the farmer that no
possible benefit can result to him from
a protective tariff. In furtherance OF
this free-trade dogma, every vote
dominated by the party committed
to tariff reduction was in the last con-
gress invariably recorded in opposi-
ton to every proposed increase of
duty on farm products. They were
as invariably recorded in favor OF re-
ductIon OF such duties whenever occa-
sion was offered.
But protection does benefit farmers
equally with any other class of citi-
zens, and fortunately the majority of
them realize the fact and turn a deaf
ear to the specious pleas of those who
are laboring for a change in the ma
tional policy. Even if it should be
admitted that prices OF agricultural
products are not permanently en-
hanced as a result of tariff protection,
1t would by no means follow that such
protection is not beneicial-in some
Instances absolutely necessary-to the
success OF those who cultivate the
soil tor a living. The farmer needs
steady and accessible market as well
as fair prices for his products. And
while these would not beinsured with
out the system OF protection ex tended
to those manufactures by which con-
sumers are attracted and enabled to
become liberal purchasers, neither
would it he possible without an ade-
quate barrier against foreign cereals
and other exportable products in the
hands of foreign farmers.
When wheat or barley or potatoes
are dull of sale, it may be that Cana
dian farmers will be in q position to
concede more in price than can be af-
forded by those who grow such crops
this side the line. Then it is of prime
Importance to the citizen farmer to
know that the competitor who would
thus cut him out from a market must
first equalize their respective condi-
tions by some contribution to our na-
tional exchequer. Though this may
not increase the market price at which
a sale can be effected, 1t very certainly
prevents a reduction in prices, and
gives the privilege of making the sale
to the citizen farmer whom it was in
tended to benefit.
The full effect of thus giving citizen
farmers the first chance in United
States markets seems to be much
more vividly appreciated by the farm
ers OF Canada than their allies on this
side the line. Here the average "re-
former" will dismiss the suggestion
with a wave OF the hand and repeti-
tion OF some free-trade platitude that
never was known to apply in a busi-
ness transaction, while a little further
north those subjects OF the queen
whose lessons have been learned in
the school OF experience stand ready
to attest that the agricultural sched-
ule of the Mckinley tariff has materi-
ally changed the outlook for sales OF
their products to our people.
Such facts AZ these cannot be with
out weight with practical farmers
whose votes are just now SO urgently
solicited by .'reformers," who, if not
in collusion with foreign adversarios
of protection, certainly confirm sus-
picion of sympathy by their concur
rent labors to the same end.

PROSPECTS IN KANSAS.
A Large Amount of Cattle and Produce Will
Be Shipped Out.

TOPEKA, Kas :, Aug. 1.-Major Hurst,
of the state live stock commission,
has prepared a statement, insummar-
izing which he says: 81 think it is a
conservative estimate to say the peo-
pie of Kansas will sell within the next
year 100000, 900 worth ofstock and
farm produce, raised this year.
mean that this much Kansas grain
and stock will go outside OF the state,
beside what we use ourselves. The to-
tai corn crop will not be less than
$50, 900, 900 bushels. There arefewer
hogs in the state this year, and for
that reason a great bulk OF our corn
must go to eastern markets. There
are about 100000 head of cattle in
tue state in good condition and worth
fully $50, ,OOO, 900. The cattle which
will be shipped from Kansas this year
will be better fed and larger than
usual.

Personal Journalism.

Speaking of the conviction and life
sentence OF w. j. Elliot, the Ohio State
Journal says: Five months ago, Feb.
%, he took the law into his own
hands. Since then he has been in the
hands OF the law. And the verdict is
that the supremacy OF the law de-
mands that he remain in the hands OF
the law the rest of his days. Even i'm
this elimination of the case it is the
general opinion that he has secured
second degree punishment for a first
degree offense. The logical results of
the vicious tendencies in life. as well as
the supremacy OF the law are shownin
this result. A few months ago this
man said what hepleased about others
in his paper and in his egotistical con-
versation in the hotels and on the
streets. Hehad successfully bulldozed
so many people that he no longer
feared or regarded public opinion. He
had blasted regulations and made
many hearts bleed. He was heartless
in his assaults and now he has reached
the logical conclusion OF his own course.
He believed that fear was stronger than
all other elements in human nature
| and never had any demonstration to
the contrary till he became the subject
| for the administration OF justice for "a
high crime. Some OF those who met
him at the hotel every Sunday night
after he had published his weekly
ISLANDERS and heard him boast of the
manner in which he had roasted
certain ones, had come to believe that
he could do as he pleased and that the
star of retribution would never over.

LITTLE RED scHooL-HoUsE.
In Spite Of Opposition, the Old Flag Floats
Over 1t in Kansas.

The people of the little town of Oak
land, Kansas, suburb of Topeka,
are terribly incensed over the action
OF a Peoples party leader at the an
nual school meeting held there re-
Gently. 1t is a growing sentiment,
which is being widely adopted in Kan
sas schools, that the stars and stripes
shall float above the school-house
while school is in session. In many
districts in the state flags have been
purchased, and each day they are
hoisted above the school-house. The
Oakland people have had no flag, and
when the matter was brought up no
opposition was expected. No one
spoke against the proposition, and
many were in favor OF it, when the
clerk, an Alliance man named Wilson,
called some one to the chair and took
the floor in opposition to the meas
ure, and made a long and loud ha-
rangue against the adoption OF the
motion. Some of his objections to
the motion were that 1.-The flag is
carried by every picnic crowd. 1t is
seen everywhere on the fourth of July.
1t Is raised over every political con

posed to spending public money in its
purchase. Its floating above our
school-rooms will in no way conduce
to the good morals and patriotism OF
our children" 1t was not only what
Wilson said, but the wild and vehe-
ment manner OF his opposition, that
provoked Indignation in every loyal
heart. A venerable old patriot,
Father Moore, followed Wilson i'm
support OF the motion. He related
how an Ohio regiment, at Missionary
Ridge, after losing fourteen color bear
ers, still held it up by the colonel
wrapping the flag about him. "and
that colonel was mine," said Father
Moore, "and since that hour the old
flag, next to my God, is the dearest
thing on earth" With tears coursing
down his face he asked: "Shall we
vote the flag up or shall we vote it
down? If down, mark you, that with
in a year the same old fiag-hating
crowd will propose to place the gray
bars alongside the blue in the dear old
flag" The ladies then took the floor,
favoring the motion. One lady said
1t might make loyal men OF some pres
ent to tax them to purchase flags
Another said: ''Never SO long as a
loyal woman lives in Kansas shall ii
he said we will not have the old flag
float above the school rooms. 1t will
he put there if women's aid society
has to purchase it, and no old rebel
shall tell us nay" The meeting voted
for the tiag.
