The floods in the Upper Ohio Valley this week
differ in two or three respects from those oil t"o

When a man has had an article in his pos

When a man has had an article in his pos
session for long time, and carried it about
with him constantly, 1t is natural to suppose thu
he will become attached TO it. That expression
however does not portray with truth the fcellng
which Justice Pratt, of Brooklyn, cntertalns To-
ward the bullet which was removed from his face
last week, after it had been nearly twenty-nlnc
years in his possession. it was rebel builct' ana
judge Pratt never felt kindly toward 1t, especially
as il frequently caused him intense pam. DOUBT
less many peop'e who know Justice Pratt as
wise and upright judge do not remember that he
was also a gallant soldier in the country's hour
Of need, and that it was Colonel Pratt that he
received the wound of which he has kept me
mento continually with him until few days ago
Judge Pratt is to be congratulated on having got
rid OF the troublesome piece of Lad which had
stuck TO him closer than a brother for nearly

The bill establishing State Board of Tax
Commissioners for New-Jersey is not Of special
interest outside of that State. 1t is worth while
noting, however, that as originally framed it
provided that one of the three Commissioners
to be named by the Governor should belong to
the minority party. This provision has been
eliminated, and the new officials will all be
Democrats. The partisan majority at Trenton
do not mean to let their party miss anything
that is going.
There is no doubt that the present experiment
in stIeet-ceaning will throw a flood of light
upon that vexcd question. Already it seems to
have been demonstrated that hand work is far
superior to machine work, even on the asphalt
rayements, where the machines naturally do
their best. One thing is certain to be shown
that clean streets are possible in New-York
without engaging private contractor to do the
wok. That will be something to be thankful
for at any rate.
The stadIer bill is so nearly dead that it's
most earnest friends despair OF breathing life
into II again. Mr.. Hildreth, of this city, offered

license is to be granted by the Excise Board
only on tho recommendation of the Alayor.

made Mr. stadler's bill so obnoxious. 1t covers

BRIGHT HOPES BLASTED.
M'KiNLEY'S PROTECTION FOR
NEW YORK HOP GROWERS.

They Rushed to Him for Protection and
Does Not Help-ws Export Hops-The
Farmer Not In 1t.
Somehow protection for the farmer
never seems to work. There are hops,
for example. Last year the hop grow
ers of New York state went to Washing
ton to get higher duty. claiming that
they were suffering disastrous. COMPETE
ton from German hops. The Hop
Growers association of Madison, Oneida,
Otsego, Franklin and Schoharie coun-
ties had representatives before the Nc
Kinley committee to ask for duty Of
twenty cents pound, the duty being
then eight cents. They succeeded in
getting duty Of fifteen cents pound.
and today they are selling their hops at
considerably lower prices than prevailed
at the time when they were before Nc
Kinley's committee.
And why? Well. we produce more
hops than we consume ut home. and we
export a large quantity every year and
the crop this year is very large. One Of
the very men who pleaded so earnestly
for a higher duty admitted that he sold
his entire crop in London and got IT.
cents pound net. while he was offered
only eleven cents pound in New York
Still he wanted protection" from Ger
man hops, although he boosted that he
had shipped to England, right on the
open London market. and competed and
got four cents pound more than any
German hops in the London market. :"
How protection" could help him in
such case he did not explain.
And protection has not helped the hop
growers. 1t was stated before the Nc
kinley committee i'll March, 1890. that
the'price of American hops was then from
fifteen to twenty cents pound; they are
quoted today in the New York market
mt from thirteen to seventeen cents, and
prices have been going down Of late.
The crop has been much larger than was
estimated. and Us the surplus has to be
exported it is very natural that prices
should drop.
This state of things has had de-
pressing effect upon the growers. One
Of them writes to The Cultivator and
Country Gentleman to suggest that
what is wanted is thoroughly organ
lied society, with laws like those of the
Modes and Persians. and perfect unity
of action" in order that the growers
may make good sales at paying prices. >
Zone thing more" says this CORE
spondent. "does the grower stop to con-
slider that when he takes fifteen cents
for his hops and urges them upon the
dealer at that price. he is taking just
the amount of the protective tariff? He
would not, when the tariff was eight
cents. have been in hurry about taking
that sum; he would have hesitated
thinking that he certainly should have a
margin over the price foreign hops could
be imported for"
That protection has not helped the hoI
growers is perfectly natural. Let any
one examine our exports and imports fol

prices of their own product. But. alas
prices have fallen. for on articles which
we export largely a tariff is not worth
the paper it is written on
German hops sell in our markets reg

pound higher than the American for the
simple reason that hops have different
favors. and to make certain kinds of
beer the brewers must have German
hops. 1t is purely question Of flavor;
the quality Of the hops is not involved.
The brewers themselves admitted in
Washington that American hops are
quite as good as foreign. Hence they
use only about one-tenth as many for
eign hops as American.
And thus the bright hopes that the
hop growers built upon the Mckinley
tariff have been blasted. The farmer is

can be stated which is absolutely con-
