The past week has shown a continue.
ton of the favorable conditions that

HIS WINTER CLOTHES.
Teller and Others Will Obstruct
for Silver.
Sherman Says Repeal Il not Sufh-
cient to Call an Extra Session.
Reed on Rules.

| WASHINGTON, Aug. 30-The silve
senator's threaten to make the silver de
bate in the senate question of endu
rance. Senator Teller announces tina
he has brought his winter clothes and il
going to stay all winter if necessary.
The silver senators will filibustel
again in the hope of forcing a comprc.
mise with the snti-silver men.
The bill for the repeal of the Sherman
act was taken up. Sherman was the
first speaker and said if the repeal OIL
the act was the only reason for the extra
session it seemed to him insufficient. Ii
was justified however by the existing
financial stringency.
Dolph introduced a bill, which was
referred to the committee on foreigo re-
istions, sppropristing 100000 to enable
the secretary of the treasury to enforce
the Chinese exclusion act and said he
would seek the opportunity of address
ing the senate on tho subject.
Gordon addressed the senate in favor
OF the unconditional repeal Of the pur
chasing clause Of the Sherman act and
against a substitute. Gordon, in con-
Guiding his speech, advocated the repeal
OF the TN per cent tax on state banks.
Teller then addressed the senate in
an argument to prove tn the Sherman
law was not responsible for the financial
troubles of the country. Without con-
GLIDING his remarks, Teller yielded for
the motion to proceed to executive busl-
ness, and afterwards the senate ad-
journed.
Voorhees,, chairman of the finance
committee, reported back to the house
the bill repeating part of the Sherman
act with an amendment in the nature of
a substitute. He asked that the bill be
placed on the calendar, and gave notice
that he should ask the senate to taxa it
up and consider it Immediately efter
the morning business from this time till
final action Is taken. The substitute,
he said, was exactly the bill heretofore
from the finance committee.
On objection Of Teller it went over till
tomorrow.
Harris, a member of the finance COM
mittee, said the substitute just reported
was a majority report, in which the
OF the committee did not con-
cur.
The resolution offered yesterday by
Stewart, directing the secretarylof the
treasury to inform the senate whether
there was any danger of deficiency in
the revenues OF the government in the |
year, was then laid before the |
senate and gave rise to long discus |
'ion. 1t was finally referred to the ]
inance committee by a vote Of forty to /
fifteen.

THE TARIFF TINKERS.

Manufacturers will do we'll to study
carefully the makeup of the free trade
ways and means committee in the house
OF representatives. With southern DOM
ination tae may look for regular old
time free-trade tariff. To check the
well-known preponderance of free trade
sentiment In the south our farmers and
manufacturers must closely watch their
every move. The American Protective
Tariff league has already bagun this
work for them and has addressed letter
to Chairman Wilson offering him all the
inform alton and assistance that the
league possesses in framing the new
tariff bill. Much care, work and watch
fulness is necessary from now on. The
league is ready to do its share, but
needs and must have the cooperation
and suggestions of it's members. The
present ways and means committee of
the house is constituted as follows:
Ways and Means-Wilson, West Vir-
ginis, chairman; McMillin, Tennessee;
Turner, Georgia; Montgomery, Ken

New York; Stevens, Massachusetts,;

ready of the stumpS, etc, absorb plenty
of "help." Stump pulling is done mostly
in the spring and fall, beginning as soon
as the frost is out of the ground in the
early part of the year and continuing
until everything is frozen hard in the
latter part.
There is n heavy decline in the bust
ness of late, due to some extent to the
fact that so many stumpy fields have al
ready been cleared, but more to the pres
ent low price of agricultural land. Three
dollars a stump is a low price for pulling,
and vet there are sometimes from 20 to
60 stumps to the acre. If land cleared
is not worth more than $50 or 500 an
acre, it will be seen that the expenditure
of the money needed to take the stumps
out is a losing operation. 1t could not
be done ut all if it were not that the
stumps may be used for fencing.
Pine stumps vary in obduracy accord
ing to the soil on which they stand.
Where it is flat and wet, the roots spread
out over the surface and the stumps
come up easily. Where it is dry or
clayey, they run down into the soil some
times to great depths. Often the stump
yields after half hours work. Some
times it takes day or two to get out a
big one The puller must of course take
the risk of running against particular
ly hard one now and then, but too many
of this sort take off the profits of the
business with great rapidity, and a run
of jobs on clay soil may bankrupt an OPP
orator whose capital is limited.

Stump fences exist only in regions
originally covered by growth of pine
and some other varieties of practically
indestructible timber. The stumps OF
pines do not decay in the ground, as dc
those Of hard wood and most other trees
owing no doubt to the great amount Of
pitch contained i'll the roots. Nor dc
these stumpS yield readily to the force
of dynamite. They may be split by ex.
| plosion to be sure, but they are so firm,
| ly anchored by their long, strong and
| sinuous roots that there is no practicable
method of getting rid of them save by
extraction. So large a proportion of the
ground in which pine has grown is taken
up by the stumps that in order to make
| it cultivatable with profit they must bt
| removed.
! The man who discovered now TO per
form this gigantic dentistry of pioneer
work is entitled to statue in every
township in the old time pine regions
and he who found that the extracted
stumps We're excellent material for fences
and so made i: profitable to uproot them
is entitled to similar honors. Theil
names, however, have not been preserved
