SANDS letters eHCloSlHS SeHoS-i
stamps.
Miss Brown was as much relieved at
having the letters stopped as was the
postmaster at Kaneville, for there is
no demand for cancelled stamps any
more than there is for old spools or old
tin cans. 1t is q myth that million
stamps collected will bring any re-
ward. There are dealers in New
York who buy cancelled stamps at
seven cents a thousand TO sell IN
France and Germany, where they are
sometimes used to decorate furniture
and paper rooms, but this demand
does not equal the present supply, so
why this stamp craze? Hence let
those whe have these letters on hand
relieve their minds and consciences
by casting them into the fire and
troubling themselves no longer about
them. The farmers around Kaneville
perhaps received more compensation
than any one else from this stamp
fiend, for it is said that all the mules
in the country were hired to help car
ry the letters. Friends give the poor
old mules a rest for Miss Brown has
already received more stamps, than
the United States has inhabitants. 1t
is also reported that Miss Edna Brown
is both married and dead, so under
either condition, it is probable that
she will never need any more postage
stamps, whether cancelled or uncan-
celled.

THE INDIANS WE'RE IN THEIR GLORY
Entertained the sitors to the North
Yakima Fair.

Entertained the sitors to the North
Yakima Fair.
North Yakima, Oct. 9.-The fair today
was given over to the Indian jubilee, and
thousands of redskins made a merry en-
tertainment for three thousand specta-
tors. The grand stand was packed to
standing room only all afternoon to
witness the parade, races and war dances
of the Indians. Chief Moses led the pa
rade with the choice braves of II different
tribes, congregating from the entire
northwest. Following the parade came
scores of bucks attred only in breech-
clouts, who posed as scouts. Then came
file after file of warriors, painted and dec
grated with feathers and gew-gaws, and
numberless squaws brought up the rear.
After the parade the Indians kept up a
constant series of amusements. They
gave war dances and scalp dances, held a
council of war. and whooped and howled
in true '55 strain and filled all the vacant
spaces on the program with pony races.
The squaw race brought down the grand
stand in a storm of applause.
/ There was no balloon ascension, it be-
| ing reported that some cultus Indians had
ripped open the big gas bag.
| The pavilion exhibitions are the finest
| ever seen in this state in the way of small
fruits, in the opinion of 600 Seattle and
Tacoma excursionists who left this ev-
ening for their homes. The days paid
attendance was 2800.

DIPLOMATS IN LONDON ARE AMAZED

Even the Press Doubts the righteousness
OF the Document.
London, Oct. 9.-The statements made
by Lord Sackville, who as Sir Lionel
Sackville West was the British minis
ter at Washington in 1889, in pam
phlet marked For private circulation
only" copy Of which was obtained
here by the correspondent Of the New
York World, and the substance of
which was printed in the United States
today, have caused amazement in. dip
lomatic circles.
Truth, commenting on the statements
made, says
whether it was courteous or judic-
ious for Lord Sackville to publish she
attack when Mr.. Bayard is ambassador
in London is a debarable question, to
which it may, however, be reasonably
replied that Mr.. Bayard was immeas-
urably more discourteous and injudic-
ious in his behavior toward Sackville
West, when the latter was in Washing
ton. Mr.. Bayard, therefore, would be
mean to complain of this point. But the
matter acquires exceptional interest
when it is considered side by side with
a recent dispute regarding the race for
the Americas cup. 1t should be remem-
bered that Sackville West was the vic
tim of an election trick. An indiscreet
expression Of opinion upon his part
was exaggerated for the purpose of ex-
citing anti-English agitation. The
trick was successful and Sackville West
was handed his papers. England in the
person Of her envoy was grossly and
wantonly insulted. Mr.. Cleveland,
however, failed to secure the election"

says: ave believe that the alb
normally low value of wages and pro-
ducts during the past two and half
years was caused by the loss of pub
lie confidence resulting from fear as
to the effect of national legislation
adverse to the manufacturing inter
ests of the nation; and we believe that
the present improved condition of
general business and wages is the eff.
feet of confidence restored, resulting
from the last elections having afford
ed assurance that unfavorable legis-
lation cannot be extended or contin-
ued." +;
And the manager of the Harrisburg
Rolling Mill writes: ;.
"Prices went down continually from
the time of the election Of Grover
Cleveland in 1892 from the fact that
everybody knew there would be a
change in the protective system, and
consequently everybody began to
hedge. When we advanced wages
June l, 1895, we were really ST per
ton below the prices we we're paying
when we had our strike in March,
1891, or about 28 per cent. lower than
we were at that time. .
1.-THE present increase in business
comes from the fact that everybody
has delayed purchasing until the
very last moment, and we were still
several dollars per ton lower on fin
ished iron than we were at this time
in 1892. We are not employing as
many men as we were in 1891, as we
still have one mill idle" 4
The iron industry has experienced
the greatest revival Of any, and still
it lacks considerably, as will be seen
from the above testimony, of being

in prosperity or wages. &

NOT UP TO THE M'KINLEY
MARK.

Our democratic brethren who
were down-hearted a year ago, now
profess to entertain some hopes of
success in the election next year, and
they base their hopes upon the al
legged improvement in business, which
they cheekily attribute to the demo-
cratic legislation of the last congress.
There has, to be sure, been some i'm
provement in business; but it is a
significant fact that it did not make
it's appearance until after the result
of the congressional elections of 1894
were known. Those elections made
it certain that there would be no fur
Their tinkering with the tariff in the
direction of free trade for several
years to come, and from that moment
factories began to be reopened and
advance be made in wages. OF late
there has been a systematic attempt
on the palt of some Of the democratic
leaders and papers to create the i'm
preston that wages have already
been brought up to the standard
prevailing during the Mckinley era,
and that therefore high protective
tariff is not needed to insure fair
compensation for working men.
A little incident related by an Ohio
paper will show how plain tale will
put down this contention of our dem
cratic brethren. About week age
Mr.. Williams had just completed
making up the pay rolls for two
weeks for one of the largest manufac-
uring concerns at Youngstown. The
sum required to pay the employees
for the two weeks was about 500, 600
Mr.. Williams was asked how much
the employees would have received
in 1892 for the same work for the
same period, and he replied, after
figuring the thing out: "Betweer
$50, 600 and $50, OOO." He stated also
that these men had but lately receiv
ed an increase in wages, still they
did for $39, 900 work for which they
would have received in 1892, from
$50, 900 to $751; 900. The men who are
receiving from S11, 900 to $4,000 less
