The incessant rains during the past
few weeks have now begun to be o
serious drawback to the farmers, re-
tarding farm work and in some ins
stances iDjuring the growing crop.
Rice is reported as in q very -four
ishing condition, except that planted
late which is troubled considerably
by the crayfish. A novel and efectual
remedy for this enemy Of the plant,
is said to be the application of coal
oil. Several rice planters have tried
the experiment and report uniform
success in staying the destructive
work Of these pests. A few gallons
of oil will suffice for a large field
and should it prove entirely ades
quate in arresting the ravages Of the
crayfish, will indeed be something OF
value for rice planters to know. The
corn crop is unusually fne and
though in some localities the rain
and wind have bent it, still no dam
age has been done and large yield
is assured. The cotton crop Is res
ported as very Indifferent, and hav.
ing been retarded by cold spriDgs
the plant is small and backward in
IT'S growth.-Lafayette Advertiser.

AGAINST FREE WOOL.

The New England wool manufacturers
almost universally protest against "free
WOOL" The National Association of Wool
Manufacturers, at their recent session in
Boston, denounced the free wool bill of
Springer, because they are long-headed
enough to see that free wool ultimately
means free woolens.
Under protection both producer and
manufacturer must be cared for, and be-
cause the Mckinley tariff does this it is a
fair tariff A tariff could not and ought
not to stand an hour that would not pro-
tect both the Western wool-grower and
the manufacturer.
1t must be protected wool and protected
goods or free wool and free goods; there
is no middle ground, and the wooden
manufacturers are sharp enough to see
that the moment they swallow the bait of
free raw material, free trade with free
woolens will quickly follow.

The japanese government has much to con-
tend with because OF the unreasonable attitude
of foreigners resident in that country. "An
American" says Boston man, "with whom
was personally acquainted, although he lived
in that portion of the city not usually occupied
by foreigners, residing there because he was
employed by the Japanese government, once
claimed that his house was American terri
tory, and his claim was allowed by the then
prime minister. The British have invariably
maintained this position, and SO have the Ger
mans. Hence there is a great deal of friction
between the japanese officials and foreign resi-
dents. The Japanese are exceedingly anxious
to do away entirely with these ex-territorial
privileges, aud treaty was made with the
United States in which their claim in this direc-
ton was aceeded to. The treaty has never
been ratified by the Senate, however. am con-
WINGED that until some measure OF justice il
given to the Japanese and Chinese, our CONNER
cial relations with these countries will never be
improved"

THE TARIFF ON HOPS.
Democratic Brewer Fitch's Bill to hs-
duce the Duty to Eight Cents.


duce the Duty to Eight Cents.
SLAUGHTER, March "a, 1892
To THE EDITOR desire to call the atten-
ton of all hop growers throughout this county
and the state to a bill which has been intro
duced in the congress OF the United states oy
the Hon. A. P. Fitch (Dem.), Of New York, .
millionaire brewer, the object OF which 10 10 re-
duce the pre- sent duty on hops imported from 10
cents to cents per pound.
The hop growers of the state of New York are
alive to their own interests, and on March
held large and influential meeting at Utica,
and they unanimously resolved to do all in
their power to defeat the bill and keep the pres
ent Is cents duty.
Without doubt it is to the benefit OF our
growers equally with their New York state
brothers to get right into the war, and by petit
tions and by resolutions duly forwarded to SEN
ators Squire and Allen, and also the Hon. J. L.
Wilson, our congressman, all at Washington
City, get them to oppose the bill at every point,
and defeat the same, and the New York state
growers are anxious to have the assistance OF
the growers of this state, as also OF Oregon ana
California.
/ don't believe there is q grower Of hops
throughout this White river, Green river and
Puyallup valleys that will refuse to sign petit
ton, and by all means give the work such at
tention as 1t deserves and sustain and uphold
your representatives in the Senate and in con-
gress in their objection to the passage.
As you all know, the business is sufficiently
precarious to warrant all the reasonable protec-
ton that can be obtained, and any attempt to
lower the prices by any person, more especially
by legislation. should and l believe will, meet
with your strong disapproval.
The Democrats are loud in their calls for help
and votes from farmers, and 1t appears the
moment they get into congress some valiant
knight OF that party shows his love for the ssr-
mers by introducing bill which may have the
effect of lowering your prices in hops centa q
pound.
No doubt some OF the party will say have no
right to introduce politics into the subject. Ny
answer il they are the first offenders for seeking
to injure the growers through that channel.
Petitions are now lying at Slaughter, Kent,
OBrien's and Orillia for signatures and will be
sent on Immediately. Yours truly,

Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria was sub
1ected to most extraordinary and altogether
unusual sight the other day at the hands of the
lower house of the Hungarian diet Hitherto it
has been the custom at the meeting of each new
parliament for the senior members thereof to
lead the remainder of their colleagues to the
palace for the purpose of presenting them to
the sovereign On this occasion, however, the
two senior members of the house absolutely
refused to undertake the task, publicly declaring
that if the emperor desired to make their ac-
quaintance it would be more fitting that he
should come to them than that the house should
go to him. No such language as this has ever
been heard before in the Hungarian parliament.
and under the circumstances the session which
has now been commenced may be expected to

reading. know that intemperance is moth
ing near SO wide spread as it was even fifty
years ago. There is nothing, even in
darkest London,n of General Booth that
compares IN horror with the intemperance
of London in the middle of the last CEN
fury as depicted by Hogarth in his "Gin
Lane" nothing like the intemperance IN
the best society of both sexes in the first
decade of this century. Intemperance Is
steadily decreasing everywhere, because
inebriety is become socially more dis

drunkard who cannot be reached by the
influence of personal friends and his fam
lily; who is deaf to the appeal OF self-inter-
est, conscience, religion; deaf TO the
warning of his doctor, cannot be ap-
probably reformed by law. The world
does not consider "the rising generation"
worth protecting if in order to meet an
assumed necessity for the protection of
ten sots or moral dyspepties you rob
hundred well men of the legal opportunity
to order their own dinner.
Are laws to be made for the healthy,
normal, sane man, the average man, by
which the common sense of law is gagged
in all other matters of human life and un-
derstanding, or are the great majority of
healthy, normal, sane citizens of the world
to be made to do legal penance, vicarious
atonement, for the small minority o
moral cripples and dyspeptics? If Victor
Hugo and Count Tolstoi could recast hui
man nature in the mold of sentimental
ism, We should expect the law to recast
the whole bill of fare; expect the whole
sane, healthy, working world to dress in
gunny cloth and live on oatmeal because
SOMEBODY or some hundreds had no stom-
ach left for good dinner. To stop sing
ing fine air because somebody has writ
ten and sung obscene words to it would be
absurd. No man can be expected, within
or without law, 10 abandon his own decent
mode of living because somebody is living
indecently and Unexpectedly. To put
this sort of morbid self-denial; this pater-
nalism run mad, into statute is as abb
surd as it would be to enact statute to
make the indolent energetic; the extrava-
CANT economical. The law cannot make
the life of the world shorten its step for
'lame ducks" The world sends 'lame
ducks" to the ambulance, to the hospi-
tai, to the prison, to the insane asylum, to
the almshouse, to the grave, but the
world will no more shorten step for
'lame ducks" than an army will wait
for straggler or shelter shirk.

The Philadelphia Ledger tells a story OF Lord
Lytton. which, though old, hasn't been told for
some time, and so perhaps will bear repetition:
"He was seated one day at dinner next to a lady
whose name was Birch, and who, tradition says.
was beautiful if not over-intelligeut. Said she
to his exeellency: Are you acquainted with
any Of the Birches?' Replied his excellency:
ooh, yes, knew some of them most intimately
whilst at Eton; indeed, more intimately than I
cared to- Sir replied the lady, you forget
that the Birches are relatives of mine And
yet they cut me- said the viceroy; but and he
smiled his wonted smile, Il have never felt more
inclined to kiss the rod than l do now Mrs.
Birch. sad to say. did not see the point, and, SO
the gossips have it, told her husband that his
excelleney had insulted her,"
