If an article of importation a be
produced in our country, and if any of
our people have no means of self sup.
port except as they are engaged in pro-
ducing this article, then we should pre-
vents importation and confine ourselves
to the use of the article that is produced
by our own citizens. Our own people
are, by virtue of their citizenship, en-
titled to precedence over the foreigner
in securing this employment and the
consequent livelihood. For, as the
government may place the life of the
citizen in jeopardy in time of war, it
should, in time of peace, give its citi-
zens the employment necessary to
maintain that life, rather than give it
to an alien. Otherwise the Government
is dislOval to itself.

The "Picked' Crowd.

Early last Friday morning there was
seen at the happy homes, made SO by
some of Boone's Creeks most gifted
and refined young folks, busy hands
and minds, planning and preparing for
a pleasure tour to Bays Mountain. 1t
had rained all the week so far, and the
morning gave no hope of a cessation,
hence it took brave hearts to contend
with such mightyforces arrayed against
them, and then, too, many suspect tina
at Chimney Top Orion gathers the
storm cloud until brooding at its base
in sullen and midnight darkness leaps
forth spreading desolation and ruin in
its course.
As the merry little party wind their
way the clouds dispense, the sun pours
down his burning rays, the wheels are
lifted from the muddy road, JOY uncOn-
fined leaps from the heart of every one.
But, gentle reader, why should they
have styled themselves the picked"
crowd, for we never met or heard of
any person being in such a pinch to
get company, as all Boone's Creek is
well aware. 1t was not ON account of
affluence, for one of them rode three
days to secure On outfit, and that is not
the worst of it, for it is known to be a
fact that his girl has been engaged to
another fellow for the last two years
10 horse, buggy, girl and all were bor-
rowed.
True enoagh, one is denomlnated
Prof, having acquired much learning,
and most people verify think it is hurt
ing him.
The third drives a two horse vehicle,
and great heavens! what brains, what
brains he hasl Enough to run a clover
huller without steam or water power.
We can not see what application the
term picked" has in this connection
unless it has direct reference to the wis
dom and splendid choice of compan-
ions those young gentlemen made.
This we could cheerfully admit, as they
are the acknowledged bellies of Boone's
Creek, refined and intelligent in man
ner, handsome and winning in ways.
We predict they all had a pleasant
and improving journey, long to be re
membered, and that their lives will be
the more happy thereby. But it makes
us tired to think of the picked" crowd.

AMONG the most important acts of
Congress touching the welfare of the
farmer are those which provide for the
establishment of institutions of learn
ing which are to give special attention
to agriculture and the sciences related
to it for the maintenance of agricul-
tural experiment stations which are de-
voted to the scientific investigation of
agricultural problems, and for the ele-
walton of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture to a cabinet de-
partment. These three educational
agencies, the colleges, the stations and
the department, are the most important
ones now at work for the betterment of
agricultural matters, for nothing can
benefit the farmer so much as a knowl-
edge of the best methods of farming
for the region in which he may live.

DEMOCRATIC Congressman would do
we'll to quit talking foolishness about
strikes being caused by the tariff law,
and do something toward the better re-
striction of immigration. Most of this
striking business is done by foreigners.
Most of the strikers at Homestead, and
most of those who are ready to take
their places are foreigners, who do not
vote, who have no interest in this coun-
try, and care nothing for the upholding
of our laws. In Homestead, with a
population of nearly 5000, only a few
more than 800 votes were cast in 1890
for Governor. In Chicago, with its la
Dor agitations and %anarchistic demon
strations, there is but one American to
three foreigners. The worst, most
dangerous class we have is composed
of those foreigners from Europe, who
come here merely to make money, and
return home to spend it. They do not
intend to become citizens. In this re.
spect they rank with the Chinese. We
must put in force a just restriction on
immigration, or one of these days we
will get into serious trouble. There
should be no partisan policy in this.
1t is not a party question, but one of
the gravest Importance to the whole
country. Cincinnati Commercial Ga

THE Democrats hope to gain one of

ping votes, but they will be sadly left.
No true Republican scratches his tick

| The main hall is constructed entirely OF
alabaster, the supports being columns
OF oXidized brass and bronze. The gal

brought from Sicily and Carrara. The
drawing rooms are paneled with alter
nate strips of cherry, walnut and ebony
all from America.
The main dining-room, which was
| built so as to accommodate $50 guests,
IS finished after the style Of the draw
ing-rooms, with the exception OF relic
figures and mosaics Of fish, game, anil

pieces of all these rooms are most ar
tistic, and so also are the windows, man

extremely elaborate. There are three
| immense libraries and billiard room,
all with caeved stone freplaces OF unique

and swimming baths, large conserva-
tories, aviaries, aqnariums, etc. The
| whole palace is heated throughout
with steam and hot water pipes and
| lighted both by gas and by electricity.
The pictures in the galleries alone are
worth $500, 600, and the books in the

NEVER PERJURED AERsELF.
How a Witty Woman on the West Side
Escapes Telling Her Age.
Chicn00 Inter Ocean,

Occasionally a woman is so bright
that she makes herself more enemies
than friends. Particularly is this true
when bright mind is coupled with
sharp tongue.
Mrs. Kleerwit is star at one OF the
local swell clubs, which has a great,
brown-stone club house on one OF the
boulevards on the West Side.
Mrs. Kleerwit is always the centre OF
a group of men, who laugh immoderate-
" at her flashes of repartee and her dag
ger-like epigrams. Some OF the men,
however, share the envy that most OF
the ladies feel.
Consequently young Tompkins- re-
joiced when his cousin, Mrs. Van BE.
som, particularly brilliant woman OF
New York, visited him.
He would pit Mrs. Van Bosom against
Mrs. Kleerwit and behold the latter
downfall. The occasion arrived. The
conversation turned on the repugnance
all women have, after becoming so old,
TO declare their real age.
Mrs. Kleerwit was rather old; so was
her opponent, Mrs. Van Bosom. Every
body under stood the rivalry and ex-
pected a sharp contest. Tompkins
beamed with anticipation Of victory.
81 never perjure myself on the mat
ter of telling my age" began Mrs.
Kleerwit
"Indeedr' snapped Mrs. Van Bosom.
mo, always put the responsibility
and the sin on somebody else"
"Yes-but how old are you?" asked
Mrs. Van Bosom.
"When am asked that by a woman, "
said Mrs. Keerwit, 81 usually reply by
saying that l am older than she oy as
much as a year"
WELL" said Mrs. Van Bosom, in an
effort TO make the point fall as flat as
possible.
"Wen, then" said Mrs. Kleerwit,
sharply, Il usually ask her real quick
how old she is, and l can always de-
pend on her knocking more years oil
my age than 1 would ever dare to my
self"
Then Mrs. Van Bosom flushed and
fell to talking about Biela's comet, and
young Tompkins staggered out into the
air for breath.

OLD ENGLISH MONoPoLIEs.

Monopolies were quite common in
England long before the days of the
Stuarts, while it was under START
James THAT an act was passed de-
claring void all monopoies for the sole
buying, selling and making Of goods
excepting patents for fourteen years
for any new process or new manufSc-
tnre. This, indeed, was the first step
toward free trade, but we are more
concerned just now with the events
which led TO it. The Tudors were
really the great creators of monopolies
and Elizabeth was the greatest developer
OF them.
Hal!am records that all through the
sixteenth and beginning Of the seven
teenth century patents 10 deal eXclu-
siveiy in particular articles were grant
ed so laviShly TO the courtlerS that
hardly d commodity remained free.
Even salt, leather and coal were the
subjects of patents, the list of which,
when read over in Parliament in 1901,
was 50 long that member asked, in
credulously, lis not bread among the
NUMBER"
The practice was for the favored
courtiers TO sell their patents OF mono
poly to companies of merchants, or syn
dictates, as we should call them nova
days, to work them. Rival political
parties struggled not 10 redress the
grievances under which the people
groaned, but TO obtain share Of the
profits. II Essex held a monopoly OF
sweet wine. Raleigh held one of the
cards; indeed, it. is hard to say how
many patents" either Of them held
from first to last.
1t has been said by Macaulsy that
some Of the most odious OF the patents
OF monopoly passed the great seal while
il was in charge of Lord Bacon, includ-
ing that granted to Sir Giles Mompesson
and 10 Sir Francis Mitchell Immortal
lied by Massinger as Sir Giles Overreach
and Justice Greedy for the exclusive
manufacture of gold and silver lace.
This patent is characterized by the his
torian as the most disgraceful in our
history, not only because IL covered spu-
rlous manufacture aud fraudulent deal
ing, but also because the patentees were
armed with unprecedented and scandal
ous powers, which enabled them to in
wade the sanctity Of homes and TO arrest
persons alleged to be interlopers in the
trade. She shameful manner in which
such powers could be exercised can be
well imagined. Bacon was not only a
party to the granting of this patent, but
also a strong supporter of the patentees
and 8 protector of their rights when
these were assailed.-AU the Year
Round.
