that she was without power to convey

The Tariff Bill well Received.

The cry of the ariffpampered indus
tries that the country would be ruined
by the enactment of law on the lines
laid down by Mr.. Wilson's committee
is made ridiculous by the course OF the

public.
There is no "scare" anywhere. and
in Wall street, which is the most SEN

THEY RESPECT THE SKUNK.
And Have Good Reason To, Up In the Hop
Growing Counties.

eff you want to get yourself thor
oughly disliked in a community" said
New York travelling man, go up into
Otsego county, or any OF the hop-grow-
ing counties of the state. and talk mean
about the skunk You don't need to
kill skunk to get the people down on
you. Merely talk mean about the ami
NAL and you'll get talked back to, and
don't you forget it. The hop-growing
counties are the only localities, guess,
in the whole country where it is no
sign of disrespect to call man a skunk.
In every other place, when you want
to say the meanest thing you can think
of about some one else, you feel
that you have done the subject
justice if you call him skunk,
and the man viii doubtless think
so too. and maybe lick you. But it
isn't so in the hop counties. To call
man a skunk up there is equivalent to
telling him that he is one of the most
useful of citizens. and he'll thank you.
Whatever benefits the hop grower
in that belt Of counties benefits the
entire community, for everybody de-
ponds on the hop crop for his material
welfare. And the farmers having made
the discovery that the formerly de-
spised skunk is the greatest friend
they have in their business, that ami
NAL has become every body's friend,
and you want to be careful and treat
the sl1unl, with respect if You go into
the hop country. They protect slSunks
up there as carefully as, IL not more
carefully than. they do song birds.

animal is 10 hunt his living a:
