A Farmers Paradise.

A leg railroad man in the
-Ne%thwest. who is noted for ms iu,L-
nous and picturesque way OF talk
ING. is fond Of calling the Red River
farmers "thd leisure class OF the
West" He Says: "They only at
tend to their business for a few
weeks in the spring and fall, and
that they do sitting down, with
splendid horses to drag the farming
indictments on which ithey ride
around When their grain is ripe
thew hire laborers to cut and harvest
r. and then they cash it in formoney

money to the bursting-pOint, and

Enrope or New York" Yet they
must find a continuance OF thelI
strength and prosperity in diversi

country is too level for the profitable
raising of sheep, however. They
need uneven land and a variety o.

upon them there.
There are nearly 100000 acre
lin the valley, and one-sixth of it il
under the plough. One hundred ant
lfftv million bushels of wheat coul'
be raised there if every acre wa
sown with seed, but there is no sucl

The Famine in Russia.

So little sufices for the Russian
peasant that a sum equivalent to 7Ol
cents will sustain life for a month.
But when it becomes a question of a
million lives for which the govern.
ment must care, as in Samaria alone,
and when this support must be con-
tinued for a period of 10 months,t the
cost rises to S7,OOO,OOO. As has
been shown in the case Of Samara,
the proportion of sufferers relieved
by the zemstvOs is two-thirds leaving
one-third wholly dependent upon
private benevolence; and, taking all
the famine provinces, even this one
third mounts up to the millions.
This appeal to personal philanthropy
has brought out noble examples OF
generosity and devotion. The pro-
prietary class have, as a rule, in this
emergency, proved worthy of their
position and responsibilities. There
are single families taking care of as
many as $4,000 people. The women
especially have come forward with a
conservation and self-sacrifce which
commands admiration. If it were
not invidious or indelicate, many
| cases might be cited of ladies ofgeu
tie birth who have left their homes
braved the dangers Of disease, faced
the hardships of an unaccustomeo
and trying life, and given up weeks
and months to the work of feeding
the hungry and ministering to the
sick. With much that has beer
deplorable, there have been also II
this work many exhibitions OF tru'
mobility. One other thing ought IL
fairness to be said. The Empero
has been published abroad as indIf
ferent. 1t is only just to remar'
that this peculiar kind of indifference
has been manifested lot merely IN
vigorous direction of the later gov
ornamental operations of relief, ever
to the summary dismissal of ineth
cient agents, but in gifts from hi

Notwithstanding all our Boosting
and the truly remarkable progress
which American schools have made
within the past few years, it is evi'
dent that our systems of education
are yet scarcely beyond the forma-
tive and experimentative stage. And
in no respect is this more apparent
than in the current multifarious ideas
concerning the education of girls.
What are the conditions and posi-
bilities of the ideal school for girls
and whether, all things considered
the private school is generally to be
preferred to the public, are problems
which are to be solved only after
careful and iudicious consideration
An unbiased discussion of this sub
ject, valuable as well for its sugges-
tions as for its conclusions, will APP

Chickens are invaluable allies OF

Narragansett turkeys are marked
on their feathers by light gray
band on the ends, the band being

gray birds, as the gray color is the
most conspicuous. They are not so
large as the bronze variety, but are
very popular.

EDITOR TRIBUNE.
The Minkler trial is over and has lost the
taxpayers Of the county a good round
sum. Three county commissioners, as
business men, and county attorney, as
their legal adviser, are owing the people a
lengthy and elaborate explanation for in
stituting this prosecution. For several
months pr. Minkler had bill before tie
commissioners for several hundred dollars.
The board finally allowed him $125. Sew
eral months afterward they discovered that
the. phisio-medico man had lied to them,
and urged on by rival physicians, the county
attorney commenced criminal prosecu-
ton against Minkler, on the charge Of
obtaining money under false pretense.
The trial establishes the fact that Minkler
lied to the board, but that be did SO to OBJ
tain what was his due. AS a lawyer the
county attorney should have known
whether his evidence was sufficient to con
yict, and as business men the commission
ers should have considered that, though
they might send pr. Minkler to the peni-
tentiary, the county would not recover It's

'"Thank you!' The door was closed and
the young visitor was gone.
Nothing further was thought Of the in
cident until yesterdays mail brought Mr..
Butler certified check for 5000 'sfor legal

This is probably the highest rate per word
ever paid for legal advice. 1t divides into

The Mckinley Bill.

Secretary Of War Elkins. The Mckinley
bill, will rank in Importance and
in its beneficial effects upon the coun-
try and its industries next to the Morrill,
Tariff bill 1t embodies the doctrine of
protection to American industries. It ad-
heres to the principle laid down by Wash
ington, Madison and the founders of the
dustries and home interests by laying
tax on all foreign products brought to this
country to be sold in competition with
American products and admitting free Of
tax or duty all non-competing articles
brought here from other countries which
cannot be successfully produced in the
United States. 1t would be almost impos-
sible to frame perfect tariff bill, or one
free from objections, or that would suit all
interests Taken all in all, however, the
law just passed is wise measure, framed
in the interests of the whole people, Amer
ican industries and home markets.

When Virginia Was Poor.

?. in Richmond Times. The people of
Virginia wereleft desperately poor at the end
of the Revolutionary war. For about sew
en- years they paid few or no taxes into the
treasury. The new government was forced
to borrow money to maintain its existence
and there were times during the first wears
when there was literally 'not shilling in
the treasury, and in the year 1884 Mr.. Jac-
quelin Ambler the treasurer, reported that
there was not money enough in his office
to supply him with fuel and stationery.
