MAY BE A SPECIAL MESSAGE.

Expect ,tion That Cleveland viii Write
One on Venezuela.
WASHINGTON, Dec 6.-There is rea-
son to believe that the president was
aware before his message went to con-
gress that Lord Salisbury's response to
Ambassador Bayard's representations
touching the Venezuela boundary dis
pute would be uufavorable, but that
fact was probably withheld from con-
gress because that portion Of the mes
sage relating to Venezuela had already
been completed. and the president de-
sires to make it the subject of special
communication that will give the mat
ter the Importance it deserves. If the
reply is of the nature stated, then it is
realized here that there can be but one
line Of action open to the president.
Having received a negative reply to
his direct inquiry whether or not Great
Britain has prepared to submit to arbi-
tration all of the territory in the dis
pute, for there can be no doubt that the
president has been informed by cable OF
the nature of the communication com.
ing by mail, there remains for him but
one course, namely, to submit the mat.
ter to congress for its further direction.
Beyond this point the president cannot
60 alone, for to be consistent he would
be obliged to notify the British govern
ment that any encroachment on Ven.
ezuelan soil would be regarded by the
United States as hostile act, and that
is 50 perilously close to an open declara.
ton of war that it might be construed
as an infringement ON the constitu.
tional power of congress.

Lesson OF a Democratic Farmer.

A prominent farmer from Western
New York was, four years ago, an un-
compromising free trade Democrat.
told him at that time that il the
country should be SO unfortunate as to
elect President and Congress in
favor of low tariff or free trade, he
would get an object lesson that would
convince him OF the injurious effects
of such a policy, especially upon far
mers. During the past two years this
gentleman has had the object lesson,
and it has made of him a good Repub-
lican. He informs me now that he
has voted his last Democratic ticket.
He says that in 1892 he had flock
of about 1G5 sheep, which were worth
from So to SO. so head. He sold his
wool at that time for from 35 to As
cents a pound, depending upon the
grade. Since the election of Cleve-
land the price of both wool and sheep
has gradually gone down until now
his wool is in storehouse in Phila-
delphia and Is cents is the highest
price offered for the best grades, while
he has just sold the poorest of it for
13 cents pound. Three years ago
the dogs in the town where he lived
killed about fifty of his sheep and the
town paid him 50 head for those de-
stroyed. This summer he has sold
quite large number of sheep at 60
cents head. He sold the pick out
of his flock for Sl.50 to $1.70 head,
a year and half ago. He has now re-
duced his flock to forty sheep and
would like to dispose of these if he
could get any decent price for them.
Three years ago he sold spring
lambs at from 81 to Sc head, and
this season he sold the very best for
S1.25 head. He said, sit is very
true that can buy suit of clothes
cheaper now than I could three years
ago, but if I could get the price for
wool and sheep that got at that time
would be willing to pay two or three
times as much for O suit of clothes
rather than to buy them at present
prices"
He does not attribute the deprecia-
tion in prices of farm products to the
demonetizing of silver, but to the
lowering Of duties and the destruction
of confidence that has resulted from
the election OF Cleveland and the
carrying out of the Democratic policy
on the tariff question. He knows Of
hundreds of Democrats in his section
who say they will never vote the
Democratic ticket again. The town
in which he lives for years gave very
large Democratic majority, but last
fall and the fall before it was carried
by the Republicans. and this last
spring the Republicans had 1876 ma
jority in the town.
If all the farmers of the United
States could realize the injury done
their industry, by tariff tinkering, the
country will be in much better con-
dition after the next Presidential cam.
paign than it has been since Cleve.

1898. E. P. NJ.

That "Banner Day."

Carried away by its free trade en-
thusiasm, the New York World said
recently: yesterday was the banner
day of the Custom House. The en-.
tries for customs were 1919 and the
receipts were S43S, ,265.95. No day
in the history of the customs at New
York, under the Mckinley bill, ap-
preached these receipts within $780,
Oo0." 81.
As for ourselves, we would much
rather hear OF "banner days" at Ameri-
can factories, on which more goods
would be made and more wages paid
than ever before. There is something
absurd in this boasting OF tho influx OF
foreign goods at u time when many
worthy people are out Of work and
many more are working for low wages.
The Mckinley bill can stand the im-
piled sneer in the above paragraph.
1t did not destroy foreign commerce
as its opponents held it would, but il
held in check foreign imports that
competed with homo industries. II
was not framed to create "banner
day" at the Custom House.

If YOU WERE HERE.

II you were here, the changing sea
Now gold or green, now purple g..
Now winsome blue at smiling noon
And fading pale at eve too soon
Would provo fairy palace, where
My thoughts million gems would wear
To celebrate their joy.
III you were here the wilful road,
Meandering now hard by the sea,
Avoiding, claiming, risking sheer,
Now hiding in woodland drear,
Would be magic lane. whose end
Would golden gifts and rubies lend
To lure us constantly.
The thickly wooded island there,
That stretches long and dark and still
The white sand girding all the land,
Taffright the steps of pirate band
Would be mystic shore, where we
Would search the key Of things to be,
And find it ut our will.
Ii You were here, the crescent moon,
Queen regnant of the fltful tide,
Who gilds the crest of every wave,
Proclaiming it her loving slave,
Would fill the sea from brim to brim
Forgetful Of her ebbing whim;
And here our bark would ride.
And all the shells along the strand
Would empty out their sea-song lore
Upon the flying evening gale;
And both should push our silken sail
Far off to sweet-scented land.
Where we would wander, hand to hand,
Nor part for evermore.

Minnesota papers speak with pride
of the results achieved by the Girls
School of Agriculture in that State,
said to be the only one in the country.
1t has been established for some time,
and has sent young women into the
world who will be valuable aids to the
farmers lucky enough to win their
educated hearts and hands. The stu
dents receive instruction in cooking,

Officers and others interested in the
Army have been expressing their views
in the columns of the papers and mag.
azines devotee to defensive branches
of the Government, on "Why Don't
They Enlist?" and "Why They Don't
Enlist" The former question recog-
nizes that there are large number OF
unemployed who would make good
soldiers and who would in the Army
be great deal better off in the matter
of comforteb BILE place to sleep, and as
to quantity and quality Of food to eat
and clothes to wear. Besides. at the
end of each month they would have a
dozen or more dollars in pocket. But
they don't enlist; at least, those who
are most desirable as soldiers do not
offer to serve Uncle Sam. "Why They
Don't Enlist" gives the true reason
for men not enlisting." It says that
the toldier is not thought we'll enough
of; that the people outside OF the ser.
vice are too likely to call them rogues,
drunkards, etc., and that the enlisted
man is too often required to do too
much with the axe. pick and shovel,
in building earthworks and making
clearing. Another complains that
some OF the recruiting officers are too
particular. An instance is cited when.
recently. 200 applicants were exam.
ined in Chicago and only four OF the
number were accepted. These were
for the infantry. One athletic young
fellow 1ws rejected because ho had

sembled the claws of hammer. and
