Farmers aud sIlYer Coinage.

Secretary Morton puts the silver case
forcibIy to tho farmers Of the west, who
have been joining with the silver pro.
ducors in the howl for free silver coin
age. 1t cost a certain com pany S36S,OOC
to produce 100000 ounces, enough tc
coin into something more than $780,
600 of legal tender silver dollars.
The farmer cannot take to the treas
ury products which cost him S3GS and
compel the secretary to give him in ex'
change $1,000. 1t is strange that the
farmer has become so enthusiastic over
the scheme to give the silver producer
so unfair an advantage.

The Wool Industry.

A synopsis OF the forthcoming report
on wool BY the bureau of statistics con-
tains many interesting aud istructive
features. The department OF agricul-
ture estimated that there were in this
country on January l. 1892, 44,0SS,S 65
sheep valued at s~llG,l9l,99N. This
later report estimates the number Of
sheep in the country in 1898 at 1928
SIS valued at sl25, 999, 264. The in
crease in number is $50 per cent, in
value s4S.
The total wool production OF the
country for the year 1892 is estimated
a. s4o,OOO,oOo,Oo0 pounds. In the late
campaign the INTEIIoENcER was jump
ed onin a highly acrobatic way for est,
mating that the years clip would be
moro than 100000 pounds.
The report shows hat from 1850 tc
1899 the number Of sheep just about
doubled, but the increase in the WOO
clip wasnearly tOurtOld, or Ss7.s4 pei

Ono of Mr.. PcndIeton's selections.

Among tho recent appointments OF
pension examiners appeared tho name
of E. S. Davis, of Marshall county. The
men who fill these positions arc sup
posed to be practising physicians Of
good standing.
Davis keeps a drug store in Cameron
and has twenty-sevcn indictments pend
ing against him for the unlawful sale OF
liquor. Thirteen OF these indictments
were found by the grand jury lately
sitting in Mouudsville.
About two weeks ago Judge Paul
brought Davis up with a round turn
and gave him some idea of what would
happen to him if it were proved that
he had intimidatcd witnesses command,
ed by the court to appear against him,
Davis is said to have been q Confeder,
ate soldier, but this is not an indictable
ofTense.
Mr.. Pendleton does not appear to
have boon altogether happy in this
selection, and it may be that the Demo,
cratic soldiers in this congressional dis
trict will not applaud II.

aeeces did not come altogether because,
as the free traders have it. "GOd makes
the wool grow on the sleeps back"
The heavier fleece is the result OF
patient effort, caro- and skill applied to
the industry and stimulated by aproft-
able market for the product. Destroy
the market and the sheep and fleece
will degenerate together. The dullest
FREQ trader can have fun out Of this
statement of TACT, but history confirms
it and common sense sustains its rea-
sonableness.
The wool industry of the United
States was doing well until the blight
of threatened free trade in wool fell on
it. Fleeces oil this locality which q
year ago were bringing twenty-eight
and thirty cents a pound are now a drug
at twenty cents. Instead Of the money
being in the bank or having been used
to pay bills and make purchases, the
wool is in the growers wool house.
Manufacturers arc doing their best to
work up and get rid of what they have
before the tariff cults mado in wool and
manufactures OF wool. Those who
have worked up their stocks OF wool are
waiting. Some are reducing force,
some cutting down working hours,
some taking a rest altogether.
If there is to be Tree trade in wool
and u revenue tariff on its manufGc'
lures, these long-hcaded business men
will endeavor to have their decks
cleared for action on that basis; and to
this end the whole wooden industry is
bending its energies.
Wool groworsIare told that the man
u~facturers have combined against them.
There is q combination against them,
but it is a combination OF circum'
stances in which tho chief and most po-
tent factor is the Democratic party.
There cannot be in the whole country
q wool grower with scnse enough to cat
when he is hungry who does not know
to IN absolute certainty that ii there
had been no fear Of u change downward
in the wool duties there would have
been no such shrinkage in price as
there has becn since last year.
Farmers who voted with tho Demo
cratic party IRE getting what they
asked for and getting it sooncr than
they expected; but this does not recon
Gle them to a situation which, with re-
gard TO many Of them, is Searches less
than tragic.

A NaUscRting System of TondyinS Comes

LONDON, June 25.-The great naval
disaster has nearly given a sudden
check to public gossip and the prepare
tions for the royal wedding. The new
demand upon, the public charity Tor the
relief OF the widows and orphans of the
Victoria victims will probably put a
salutary stop to some Of the wedding
present begging. There have been
shilling funds from all mon with the
surname OF George, three pence from
all women married in July. siXponce
from all women born in May, moro
from women between twenty-five and
thirty years old, and 60 on, Gd n0uSeum.
1t is not surprising that there has
been some sharp public resentment OF
this unauthorized begging which has
not stopped short Of penny collections
in public schools and other institu-
tons.

(Willimanttc JournaI.) STORRS AGRICULTURAL COL
 LEGE

The substantial victory that has been won by the Storrs Agricultural College was well deserved. The supporters of Sheffield Scientific made most uncalled for attacks on Storrs,-some of the New Haven press distorting the facts to an alarming degree. It was claimed repeat edly that Storrs was an insignificant in stitution, accommodating but very few students, in comparison with Sheffield. Of course there was no force in the con- parison; for Storrs graduates men who become practical farmers, while Sheffield never, unless by accident, graduated a student that became addicted to agricul- tural pursuits. Still Storrs can safely in- vite comparison with Sheffield Scientific, as to the number of students graduated, as we'll as to the number graduated. Any comparison of this nature, however, to be just and of any value, should be made be- tween the institutions as represented in the early years of each. Storrs School has been established about ten years. Compare it with Sheffield Scientific dur ing the first ten years of the latter, and the following results are shown:

 While he had been speaking in low, thrilling tones his hand had reached out and clasped hers. "I intend to be an aggressive worker" he continued, but just then his eyes caught those of two boys who lodged behind their books as he looked up. Dick whispered:
 II say, Bill, bet that's the teachers feller."
 Well, hope he's good 'un, but he'd better not be takin' her away from us. We have fust claim, don't us ?"
 At 11:45 Bill and Dick and all the rest had vacated, and for some reason the slow carette did not seem long jolting it's way back to distant West Adams street. But the next evening MT. Stanley con- cluded rather lengthy private interview with MT. lilly with the caution: "You'll find Mamie is like her mother, very sensi- ble in most ways, but in regard to mis- sion work, you'd better let her do as she pleases.

No. of Students. No. G Shaffin1d Gtorr.a Shaf
Total,

In considering the above figures, which
 make very excellent showing in favor of
 our neighboring institution, it should be
 borne in mind that Storrs is not permitted
 to take students from outside the limits
 of the state; and has been compelled,
 therefore, to refuse admission to many applicants. Sheffield, on the other hand, is subject to no restriction of this kind. The catalogue of the New Haven instl- tuition shows that, after the scientific
 school had been running twenty one years,
 it had only AT students from Connecticut, and only 125 altogether. After it had
 been in operation 85y years there were only 73 students registered as from Connecti- cut, and 32 of these were from the city of New Haven.
 It is perfectly manifest that Storrs does not suffer when compared with Sheffield, and the relative object of each institution
 is duly considered. On the score of num-
 bers, Storrs will easily outstrip Sheffield
 in the next ten years. The number of stu
 dents is ordinarily not the true measure of an institution's usefulness; but when an institution is a distinctively state affair, the number of students accommodated be- comes matter of considerable moment. The truth about Storrs is practically this: It is the Connecticut farmers insti-
 tuition, and the only one in the state that is of peculiar interest to them. Other in
 stitutions may deserve well of the state and may make creditable showings; but Storrs stands out distinctively as the suc- cessful college that is rendering practical and continued benefit to the agricultural interests of Connecticut. Any attack up- on, based on the ground that it is yet in
 it's infancy and therefore not an over crowded institution, is sure to recoil on the men making the attack. AS the fig ures referred to easily demonstrate, it has
 already attained healthy growth, and is
 destined to reach proportions, in the very near future, which will abundantly justify the hopes of it's friends. No agricultural college in New England is doing better work-indeed, few are doing so good work in the agricultural education line as
 Storrs is, to-day.

 Holland County Leader: The case of Catherine Mullen, vs. J. H. Reed was argued on Monday before Judge J. M. Hall in the superior court room at Willi- mantle, the parties taking it there by agreement from Rockville. The case is one of great importance. Ono Joseph Mullen, manufacturer at Forestville, took out life insurance of $5,000, pay able to his heirs-at-law. He left widow and one child. The insurance company paid the entire amount to the guardian oi the child, and the widow brings this action to determine whether the widow is en- titled to any part of it. J. H. Reed ap- pears for the guardian, and William A. King of Willimantic for the widow. 1t is case necessitating the examination oi much law.
