tor could have prevented this injustice.
When pressed with their inconsistency
they said they must make some raw
material duty free to represent Demo-
cratic principles and selected wool for
that purpose The whole bill IS 1t
became law was a bundle of incon-
sistencies. What we mean to do, and
will do when we have the power. is to
provide a tariff and tax bill that will
yield sufficient revenues to support
the government and at the same time
protect all home industries impartially
and effectually. The Mckinley law,
with such changes as time may make
necessary will accomplish this purpose.
The anticipation of such g. measure
already brightens the times, and the
election next year of Mckinley, or any
good Republican, as president OF the

doubly sure. In the meantime we want
a Republican legislature and the cleo

PURSUIT OF THE IDEAL IN FARMING
Charles e. Benton.

What incentives shall we hold out to
the rising generation of farmers to in
duce them to improve their processes
and rise to a higher plane not only in
the productiveness of their farms and
the acquisition of means, but also in
the far more important question Of the
use of those means, to the end that
they may become better men?
This question has often been brought
forcibly to my mind in my connection
with various farmers organizations
and I believe that upon its correct
answer depends much of the future
success of the<American farmer. Since
the farm is the means of livelihood,
that the question of financial gain
must be controlling one cannot be
denied; yet I deem it far better that
the farmer, starting out in his lifes
work, while watching the successes of
his neighbors and learning thereby a
lesson, should yet set none of them as
his standard and pattern. Far better,
let him set in his own heart an ideal

TORN TO PIECES.
SUCH IS THE SUPPOSED FATE OF
BUSTAMENTE.
Ezeta's Favorite Lieutenant Arrest
ed While on Board an American
Ship-The Turbulent Little Re-
public May Have to Pay For 1t.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1o-The
steamer City of Sydney, which arrived
from Panama late last night brought
full particulars of the capture of
Florencio Bustamente, one of Antonio
Ezeta's favorite lieutenants, by the
Salvador authorities. 1t is supposed
by the Spanish Americans who came
UP on the City of Sydney that he has
been torn to pieces by an infuTiated
mob or publicly shot in the streets Of
the city of San Salvador long before
this. The surrender of Busramente by
the people of Nicaragua came by way
of return for the friendly act of Sal
vador in the Corinto affair.
The arrest of Bustamente while
aboard an American ship is said to be in
direct violation of international law,
and the turbulent little Central Ameri-
can republic may be called to ac-
count for its high handed action by
the United States. Captain Johnston
of the City of Sydney refused to dis
cuss the matter. saying that he could
not do so until he had first consulted
his Superiors.
Bustamente was found, after much
difficulty, hiding under the coal bunk
ers. Though he knew he was going to
his death when he left the steamer,
he never uttered reproach. He de-
clared that he should remain Ezeta's
friend to the last.
The steamer company had no other
recourse than to turn over Busta-
mente, for warrants charging him with
crime were presented, and the govern
ment of Salvador, one Of the countries
which gives a subsidy to the Pacific
Mail company, made a formal demand
for his surrender.
Concerning the fact that a consular
agent of the United States was on the
steamer when Bustamente was form
ally seized, there is little to say. This
consular agent was Mr.. Cooper, who
is at La Dibertad in the interest of
the cable company. 1t is maintained
that he was aboard the steamer, not
in his consular capacity, but as
representing the cable company. He
took no hand in the matter in any
way, and did not direct the surrender
of Bustamente, as some OF the pas
sengers supposed.
Bustamente was well known in san
Francisco, as he was under arrest
here as one of the Salvadoran
refugees.

Mexican Interpreters Queer Rem
dering of n Woman's Postscript.
A telegram was received from En-
senada today announcing that Manuel
Riveroll, who has been in Jail some
months charged with the theft of a
$4,000 gold bar from his office on the
night of March 20, would be liberated
tomorrow, writes San Diego, Cal,
correspondent to the San Francisco
Chronicle. Orders have been received
to that effect from the City of Mex
leo, where all the evidence secured nv
the Ensenada court was sent for re-
view. Nothing has been learned of the
expected release OF Pratt and Garrett,
who are imprisoned with Riveroll,
though in their case also the officials
have failed to find anything to show
guilt.
An amusing instance of the rnisdi-
rected zeal of the Ensenada authori-
ties came to light recently. Some
weeks ago letter was received at the
Jail from Mrs. Pratt. directed to her
husband. The official court Interpreter
was sent for and he proceeded to de-
cipher the letter. He got through it
very well, with occasional wild guesses.
until ne came to the end; and there,
IN a postscript, he saw the words.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1O.-In re-
gard to the surrender of Florence
Bustamente, one of Antonio Ezeta's
lieutenants, whom the United States
courts refused to give up to President
Gutierrez of San Salvador, by the
steamer City of Sydney to the Sal
vadorean authorities at la Libertad,
Alexander Center, local agent of the
Pacific Mail Steamship company, in an
interview today, upheld the conduct Of
Captain Johnson.
Center said that Johnson did not
surrender Bustamente until forced to
do so by the authorities at La Liber-
tad He considered it a question of in
ternational law, to be solved by the
authorities at Washington.
United States District Attorney
Foote said that while the steamship
company could not be held responsible
for the captive's surrender, no foreign
er has a right to so upon a. vessel
flying the American flag, and take
away any person for a political Of
Tense without that persons consent.
When a person is on shipboard under
the American flag, theoretically he is
on American soil. FOote continued:
THE proper course is through di-
plomacy. 1t would be the business of
the American minister at San Sal
vador to stay any execution of the
prisoner Bustamente. until the United
States government could investigate
the matter and see whether any treaty
obligations had been violated. 1t was
for refusing to interfere in the Bar
rundia case that Lansing B. Misner
was removed from the Office of minis
ter, Barrundia was taken from an
American ship and shot, and Minister
Misner did not interfere to protect
him.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1O.-A special to
the World from Havana under date OF
August 80 says:
There is a report about town that a
great battle has been fought in Puerto
Principe and that the Spanish have
been defeated and the capital cap
tured by the insurgent forces.
1t is said that strong force OF
Spanish troops left the city of Puerto
Principe to make a bold attack upon
the insurgents who were beseiging the
town. The insurgents fled after maxi
ing weak resistance, but it was orllzA
to draw the Spanish into an ambI
cade.
Once in the trap the Spanish We
attacked in front by General MaccG
and in the rear by General Gomez.
The rebel forces obtained a COM
plete victory and entered the capital
triumphant 1900 strong.
How near the truth this statement
is cannot be ascertained. but General
Campos' immediate departure for
Neuvitas the very day he arrived here
is suggestive of something very seri-
Gus having happened.

standard. An ideal that he may never
fully attain to will yet be much bet
ter and safer guide than the actual
practice of any of his neighbors. If he
will but learn to love right for it's own
sake, it's pursuit will become an en-
ticing pleasure instead of an irksome
duty and its results will more surely
end in material gain.

For the time Of hoeing is, with them,
still in the distant future. But cult

mend a good piece Of work as an dr.
fist does; that is, commend perfection
as thing desirable in itself, and note
the change. The workman is no long

explain to an Indifferent stacker the
fact that hay Is best preserved from

be surprised to see what an improve

To those of my brother farmers who
nave never risen above farming for
money, I say begin now to do your
work from higher motives; 1t is never
too late and you will find your reward
not only in the bank account, but your
labor, which before was mental drudg-
cry, will be raised to the dignity of a
profession. This cherishing an ideal,
loving and striving after perfection for
Its own sake will grow strong with
use and will yield the sweetest salts
faction as reward for the patient eff
fort put forth, and at the close of the
year the accounts will show financial
success as further reward.
Carrying these hints into the intel
lectual life, our young farmer will not
be content TO read simply what ne
thinks is necessary in order to raise
the usual crops, but will strive to be-
come well informed in all branches
pertaining to his business. [ remember
an intelligent, well educated gentleman
from the city, a broker, who patiently
answered the questions of one of my
neighboring farmers in reference to
matters in the city. But when in re-
turn, he began to ask for information
about farming, as all city men love to,
he was both surprised and delighted
to find that his new acquaintance was
as intelligent and we'll read in all that
pertained to that business as he him
self was in what pertained to his, and
the acquaintance ripened into a long
friendship that was profitable to both.

PROBABLY LAWFUL.
Seizure Doubtless Made in a Legal
Manner.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-Although
no official report of the forcible seizure
on board an American steamer of An
tonic Bustamente by the San saliva
dorean officers at La. Libertad nave
reached Washington, it is believed mere
from the presentation of facts made
in the report that the seizure was
lawfully made and that the United
States cannot make an international
issue of this case. For some time
after the tragic killing of General Bar
rundi, the policy of the government
was understood to be that passenger
on a. United States merchant vessel
under such circumstances could not
be forcibly removed from the ship, but
later on there was g, decided qualif1-
cation of this doctrine and the posi-
ton of the state department was pre-
cisely stated by Secretary Gresham IN
a letter to the president of the Pacific
Mail Steamship company dated De-
oember so, 1898, in connection with his
complaint against the action Of the
Hondurean government firing upon
one of that company's vessels for re-
fusing to deliver up a passenger. The
secretary wrote in part: GAS a com
prehensive principle it is established
in international law that a merchant
vessel in a foreign port is within the
local Jurisdiction Of the country with
respect to offences or offenders against
the law thereof, and that an orderly
demand for the surrender of a person
accused of crime by due process of
Law, with exhibition of warrant Of
arrest in the hands of the regularly
accredited officers of the law, may not
be disregarded nor resisted by the

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 1O.-At the
instance of the Spanish representa-
tives in this city, a warrant has been
issued in Wilmington for the arrest
of Captain P. Hughes, Commanding the

The arrest grows out of the alleged
filibustering expedition. Late in the
night, when the ammunition and men
went to PENIS Grove, it is alleged
ship was coming down the river to
load the ammunition and take the menN
on board and sail away to Cuba This
ship, which it is claimed at the time
was the Lourada, was to give three
whistles as signal. The ship did nots

petition at least, if not more. They
also say they have evidence enough to
