THE writer of popular book is known by name to everyone, but the majority of the toilers in journalism are not known beyond the offices in which they labor, or perhaps by few of their fellow workers This concep- tion of journalism is compatible only with broad and thorough training, knowledge of men and books, and the forces that move society. True, the journalist except in rare instances

NEITHER in America nor elsewhere does the civil government need to be heathenish in its disregard of religious institutions and the varied religious forces and agencies. The state and the church each has need of the other and will do it's own part best in help ing to make for all life worth living when each keeps to it's own proper place. Nobody sees more clearly than MT. Gladstone the inevitableness of the great disestablishment movement in England. How best to bring it about is no easy problem. It is doubt less the supreme question which con- fronts English statesmanship in the near future.

No MAN anywhere is engaged in as many-sided business as is the farmer; no man has as many things to keep constantly in mind In order to get the most out of his business; no man is so close to nature, the proper understand ing of whose processes and whose re- Quirements is only available from the closest study and application; and no man must keep himself posted in so many directions. In the face of all this how does it happen that such a howl is raised in many quarters when farmers talk about the necessity of higher educationp

DIVIDING OUT TARIFF sPolLs.
Steel Rail Manufacturers Meet to Make
 "Allotments.'

The Steel Rail Association, otherwise known as the steel rail trust, has re. gently he'd a meeting and appointed a committee of two, representing Eastern and Western mills, to report on q new "allotment" of percentages, A large new rail mill has been started near Bal timore, and it is necessary for the trust to give it an allotment" in order to avoid "rutnous competition
 Under the present arrangement all orders for rails are divided up among the trusts mills upon the following basis The Penns ylvania Company 2 per cent. the Lackawanna ls tho Bethlehem and the Columbia, each: Andrew Carnege's Company and the Illinois Steel Company, 57 per cent jointly. This little coterie of rail manufactur. CTS can safely make their attachments" and divide up among them the spells which the tariff puts into their coTers. The duty is S13. A ton, which is lual to @ per cent of the price of rails in England today.
 At the beginning of this year the rail trust met and put uD prices, and these have been firmly adhered to ever since The price at Chicago is S3l 50 a ton in
  large lots, or SIP 50 in small quantities. The price now quoted at MiddIesboro, England, is fi IS, equal to SEQ 64 par ton.
 This Is big tariff difference. But oh, says the high-tarif wiseaere, don | you know the foreigner pays the steel rail tax?
 Let us see: We imported during the year ended June 30. 1891. just I34 tons of steel rails, valued at sl.47q, the duty on which, at Sl3.44 ton, would amount to sl, ,s00, 96.
 On the other hand, our rail mills turned out during the calendar year 1890 about ?, 00,000 tons of rails. This quantity at the present Chicago price would cost S69, 309,o0o ct the English price S45,5ls,o00 difference of S23, LOGO,

What if the whole heavens are to be turned loose upon the irrigators with copious showers of pauper rain' Win it not ruin an American industry, wipe out American capital, and deprive many faithful American ditch-digger of his employ ment?
 This "curse of cheapness" is leading us to sacrifice the interests of the poor hark-working ditch-digger in most unpatriotic, most un American way. And all to save labor for the farmer and make his wheat and corn grow!

THE restlessness of American pe

THE restlessness of American peo- pie Is proverbial. There are very few communities where generation has succeeded related generation in the ownership of land or the possession of other property. Homes are broken up and families scattered.

Beating pauper Labor.

Our high tariff cranks arc quite sure that the American labor cannot com pete with the "rauper labor" of the old world. The "fellahs of Egypt" and the "ryots of India' are to their minds the most formidable competitors In tho whole world because the most poorly paid. But our farmers to compete with the fellahs and the ryots and beat them in a free market
 In 1890 our cotton growers sold En- gland 4,4So, a03 bales of co ton, weigh ing 400 pounds each, against only l. .os6, 3T6 bales sold there from Egypt and India together
 This was done last year, and the pres ent year will make still better show. ing; and all this In the face of what Uncle Jerry Rusk calls "a well nigh ruinous competition with the labor of the miserable fellah of Egypt and of the unfortunate. half-starved ln- dian ryot, working for pauper wages, neg O ting all the amenities of life in or der that women and children as we'll as men may work in the tields'
 Yet it is against this labor that our Southern cotton-growers compete sue cessfully without any help and with harm alone from our glorious system of protection for Amer can labor.s It they do 1t, why cannot some other people?

.Legitinatc Fruit"

The American wool clip this year is 5,00o,0o0 pounds less than 1t was last year The New York Tribune has made the impudent claim that the enormous crops of wheat and corn raised by our farmers this year are in part to be credited to the McKin ey tariff law, sinte "the principal object of the new tariff was to afford better pro- tection to agriculture. Tho large crops appear to this blind leader of blind pro- tectonists as @the legitimate fruit of a tariff intended for that purpose;" for the farmers, thus encouraged, increased their production in every direction.

AN old colored woman living in

she quit.

Minden, Neb., became enraged at a

animal in stall and cut her legs off

Shooting Scrape.

Last evening when train No. 3 was
between here and Carlin r. G. Brad
shaw and VIM. Bronson, two colored
walters, on yestibule dining car
"Paciic," becams involved in a row
which resulted in Bradshaw being
shot in the left leg. From what we
Gao learn OF the affair it happened
about as follows: Bradshaw was in
the act of putting some money in a
small locker, kept in the car for that
purpose, when Bronson walked up be
hind him and struck him with his fist.
Bradshaw turned around and resented
the attack by striking Bronson in the
face, when he (Brenson) pulled out a
pistol and fired, the ball lodging in
his antagonists leg. After the shoot
ing, and as the train was nearing town,
Bronson, 80 we were informed by a
colored porter, jumped off, and has
not been seen since.
When the train reached here Brad
shaw left the car and secured a room
at the Depot Hotel, DR.. Meigs was
summoned, and after probing the
wound found the bullet imbeded in
the left knee cap. Bradshaw remained
here until this morning when be left

SEATTLE. Wash, Dec. II. 1890.

DIR. j. Eugene Jordan, Seattle, Wash
Dear Sir: One year ago last October my
little girl was vaccinated against my
wishes. Her arm was indamed for seven
weeks. After that her head broke out i'm
terrible sores, discharging pus and never
healing until spring She had such terri
bic pain in her head that it drove her al
most insane. In August she received a
fall which made her much worse, and she
was taken with spinal meningitis in its
worst form. She grew constantly worse
and the doctors could do nothing for her.
She was just about dying. perfectly
speeches., almost blind and suffering in
tense agony. We had given up all hope
and would have been glad to see her die
to end her terrible suffering. when hearing
through Mrs. McDougal of DR.. Jordan, we
sent for you. When you came, about 9
o'clock in the evening, you said she was as
low as child could possibly be and be
alive, but that the Histogenetic Medicines,
II used according to directions, would cure
her. We began giving her the medicines
at 10 o'clock the same evening, and she
never had paroxysm after that. Pre-
vious to this the spasms would come on
about this time in the evening and con-
tinue without intermission until in the
morning, during which time we had to
hold her in bed to keep her from injuring
herself When the struggle was over she
would lie more like a corpse than living
child. AS you said would be the case, the
cure was slow but sure, and she is now
perfectly well. 1 cannot sufficiently ex-
press my gratitude to you for what the
Histogenetic Medicines have done for our
child. ! remain, very sincerely,
MRS. OWEN DUFFY,
