THE practical exclusion of Sumatra
tobacco under the Mckinley law has
given a great impetus to tobacco culture
in Connecticut. Sumatra tobacco is
raised by coolie cheap labor, and the
large importation of it under low tariff
had nearly destroyed the tobacco bust
cess in the Connecticut valley. Now,
however, the home product is on top,
and Connecticut farmers are happy. A
correspondent at Hartford says that in
one town, or township. near that city,
not less than $4,000 worth of new to-
bacco barns are going up. Two Hart
ford builders have contracts to erect
buildings for forty-one farmers, at a
cost of $4,000. The signs of new pros
perity are seen in all parts of the Con-
nectIcut valley. Hired hands who were
satisfied with $40 and $24 a month and
board last year easily get $2S and $50

white hair and beard, whom the priest of
the village proclaimed was the true Christ,
who bad come to save them. The people
quit their fields and flocked to the sup
posed Christ, and carried on solemn cere-
monies day ana night. The government
sent troops to the place to disperse the
crowds and arrest the supposed Christ. but
the priest exhorted the people to kill the
soldiers and drive them away, which they
did, killing large number and driving the
rest back through the mountains. The gov
eminent sent a representative 70 inform
the people that If they would dispsrse the
matter would be dropped. They drove the
representative away. As soon as this news
reached the government . large detach-
ment OF cavalry and infantry started for
the scene. and are to attack the place on
