The Democrat has at last discover
ed a veritable mares nest. II is now
reasonably certain in its own mind
that It has at last got its eye on An
article made dearer by the Mckinley
bill. The article il copying letter

the Democrat. that living has been
"made dearer to every man, woman

A Farmers Reply.

In its last weeks issue. the Demo-
crat addresses itself to the Republi.
can farmers of Garrett county. 1t is
evidently rejoiced to see an apparent
decline in the price of wool, for it
gleefulIy exclaims: "What do you
think of it now? Your vote last fall
was cast for McComas, the Mckinley
bill and higher tariff on wool, and
the result is you only get % cents a
pound for wool now as against 262
cents last season under lower tariff.
How do you like it? and which
newspaper and party in Garrett coun.
ty best represented your true inter-
ests in the,las campaign ?"
AS one of the Republican farmers
who does not suffer the wool to be
pulled over his eyes by this variety
of nOnsensical claptrap, l would like
to know if this is the sort of sympa-
thy the Democrat and its party ex-
tends to the farmers, thus to crow
and rejoice over their supposed dis.
comfiture on account of the lower
price of wool?
Does the Democrat assume that If
the elections had had different re-
suit that the price of wool would
have been sustained? There is
hardly a doubt of 1t. MrCnnaS WAS
defeated and the policy of the Demo,
crat sustained and as Was to b.. ex.
pected the price of wool dropped and
now there is joy in the free trade
camp.
The Democrat should remember
that last year it was known that the
Mckinley bill would pass and that
the duty on wool would be higher.
and it was generally expected that
this policy would be sustained and
would become the settled policy OF
the nation. The manufacturers there.
fore thought they could see their
way to make preparation for the flu
ture, nut is it not strange since the
election last fall went as it did that
they should hesitate before investing
largely in wool or in anything else.
The Democratic party is standing
menace to their prosperity, having
recently put wool on the free list and
largely reduced the duty on wool
ems.
Two years ago the papers gave ac-
counts of number of very heavy
failures among the wooden mills OF
this country which were said to be
on account of the large influx of for
eign goods. The Democratic papers
referred to this with great satisfaction
as an apparent vindication of their
desire to place wool on the free list.
but now the wooden mills in this
country are doing fair business and
we read accounts of heavy failures
among the wooden mills of Great
Britain, as they cannot now dump
their surplus on America and force
the American manufacturer to the
wall rs they did before the McKin.
ley bill went into effect.
We, the Republican farmers of
Garrett county. believe that if there
rad been enough more like US to sus.
trim McComas and Mckinley and the
rest of the protectionists that the bus.
mess outlook would be much better
than it is and that we would be get.
ting better prices for our wool.
What does the Democrat think
about it?
But hold on! The people are
gaining confidence wool has adj.
vanced a point or two. 25 cents is the
figure now.
LATER-Your joy Is turned to sor.
row-27 cents il offered as the latest
figure and that is bad on the Demo.
crdt but nice for the farmers.

tier, az If in preparation for an invasion OF some
European Power. But with long winter close
at hand it Is quite as probable that the location
of troops is intended to secure economical sub
sistence and cantonment during the coming
months as that their quartering near the border
is a sign of meditated movements hall q year
hence.
Most people overlook the financial difficulty.
War cannot be made without money. Russia il
in great need of money, has lost credit in tho
great financial markets of Europe in peculiar
degree and it's attempt to place large loan in
France has Just ended in virtual failure. The
Russian Government has repurchaSed many mill
ions of the securities taken by syndicate in
order to prevent a complete collapse OF the syn
dictate and perhaps of the whole banking system
in France. which would doubtless have resulted
in the inability of the syndicate to provide even
the portion of money already subscribed. In
effect. unable to borrow the sum desired, Russia
was perforce content to take smaller sum in
order to get any, anu to avoid widespread
financial disturbance But all this does not in
dicate that Russia is in position to undertake
a great and enormously costly war. In any
event. with war or without, Russia will have to
support vast multitude of its population during
the coming hard winter by loans or by direct
charities, and the continuance of the necessary
industries in considerable part of the Empire
will depend on costly advances for seed as well
as for food which will strain to the utmost the
resources of the Empire. On the whole, the
more hopeful view which prevailed in European
markets late last week seems TO be warranted
nv what is known of the condition of the Russian
Government.

sROyTOTHERIUM DEMONSTRATIONS.

Something over q wear ago The Tribune spoke
of certain trouble then being experienced in the
Harvey South Dakota) University, over the
fossil remains of brontOtherium discovered near
there by miners. The question raised was whether
the brontOtherum was tree or an ANIMAL and
the faculty became very much worked up over
the matter 1t was finally decided, We believe,
that the brOntotherium was an animal. but this
does not seem to have settled its exact standing
sufficiently to prevent its producing disturbance
in another institution of learning this time the
Catlett Academy, of Catlettsvile, Lewis County.
Kentucky
A few weeks ago some wOrkmen brought to
light near the banks OF the Ohio River large
number of fossil bones of some prehistoric and
extinct animal, probably the brontotherium These
remains were promptly secured by Catett
Academy, and turned over TO Professor JOnkins,
who occupies the chair Of Geology and Greek. with
instructions for him to reconstruct, like Brown
of Calaveras, an animal extremely rare. This
Professor Jonkins proceeded to do-indeed. when
Professor Gould, who fills the chair Of Fossiloogy
and Sanscrit saw it, he instantly declared that
Professor Jonkins had made his animal so rare
that it never existed. Considerable ill-feelng has
grown out OF this. 1t seems that when
Professor jenkins had the skeleton set up as
he supposed, he found that he had about
200 pounds of fossil bones left. Naturally
he looked around for place to put
them. and finally decided that the animals tail
would stand an extension better than any other
part of him. lie accordingly fitted the bones in
the tall making it some twelve feet longer than
he had at first intended, and curving it up over
the creatures back like the tail of cheap dog
When Professor Gould saw this he laughed scorn-
fully. Then he explained that Professor jenkins
had made a most ridiculous mistake. Instead of
standing up his four legs like hippopota-
mus, as jenkins had built him, the brontotherium
really rat down like giant rabbit, and like
this animal, had scarcely any tail at all. The
200 pounds of bones which Jonkins had worked
into the tail really belonged in the hind legs 80
that the animal, were ne alive, could go bounding
across the country fifty yards at every Jump
Professor Gould Immediately rebuilt the monster
on the architectural lines which he conceived to
be right
We need scarcely say, probably, that when
Professor Jonlns heard of this action on the part
of Professor Gould he was exceedingly angry.
The next morning he hurried to the Academy, and
put the bones back in the tail, elevatng the rear
of the skeleton till the backbone was horizontal
and giving it perpendicular hind legs During
the forenoon he lectured to his classes on the
brontotherium, giving the specimen an appearance
OF considerable animation by attaching n string to
the lofty and curving TAIL and having the janitor
gently wave il TO and fro. When Professor
Gould arrived at the Academy in the afternoon
to hear his classes recite apd found the turn
affairs had taken, he said something in Sanscrit

The question of the appointing power also

abused il demonstrated by the course OF mayor
Chaplin in Responding to the Board man VINO

understood that Barthman will ask the courts to

dent ia a scandal for which Mayor Chaplin is
directly responsible, though in charity it may be
assumed that he is merely obeying the orders
of the politicians who stand behind him and
whose mandates he dare not disregard When
a Mayor of so good private character as Chaplin
makes such use of his appointing power, 1T is
high time to ask whether the appointment OF
members of the Board of Education should not
be taken from the hands of the Chief Magistrate
of the city.
One of the best suggestions we have heard
on this point is that this Board should be APP
pointed by the Judges of the higher courts-a
plan which, we believe, has been employed with
advantage in Philadelphia. One thing most de-
sirable is that the public schools should be kept
as far out of politics as possible. Appointments
by members of the judiciary would help this re-

to those members of the Legislature who, it is to
be hoped, will seek this winter to reorganize
