The latest returns Of the English
board of trade show why the anti
protection policy of the Cleveland
administration is heavily endorsed
on the other side OF the Atlant tic.
John Bull is nothing II not practic-
al. For years he has had his eye
on the American market, knowing
that if he could capture it he would
gain one of the richest prizes of the
commercial world. When the free
traders won under the leadership of
Clevelend there was naturally great
in England. The reasons
for this rejoicing is fun nished by
some of the official figures of the
British board of trade. From
these figures we learn that last
year the exports of worsteds to the
United States amounted in value
to $2,084, l6O, an increase of more
than 800 over August Of last year.
For the eight months ending Aug.
ust 81 the British exports of WOOL
en- and worsted goods TO the omit
ed States were AZ, 425, 100 yards,
compared with 9,425,5OO for the
first eight months of 1894, an in
crease of 500 per cent. During
these same eight months the value
of English worsteds exported to
this country was $40, 6,174, 500, as
compared with only SO, 522, 400
during the FIRST eight months of
1894. These figures show that
John Bull, thanks to the anti-pro-
tective policy, has been able to add
about twelve and a half millions to
the right side of his ledger from
the increased sale of one manufac-
ture alone. John Bull, while thus
pocketing American money, shows
no disposition to favor Uncle Sam
in the way of trado- .snrnlng once
more to the returns of the English
board of trade we find the English
imports of wheat from the Omitted
States this year has been ab out

last year. Such are some of the
results of the first years exper

policy advocated by Cleveland and
his friends. Irish World.
A strange and unusual case came
up before the court officials in Hell
ena last Saturday. That morning
Buffalo Coat, a full blooded Cree
Indian, appeared in Gov. Leslie''
office bearing in his hand papeI
signed by Clerk of the Court o
Cascade county. 1t was declara
tion of his intention to become {
citizen of the States. He hat
trouble with man on whose LAM
he had camped and who ordered
him off. He seemed to think tina
the paper would add weight to tn
matter and that the authoritie
would take immediate steps Il
right his wrongs. The clerk, how
ever refused to recognize tn
paper, as the American govern
ment handles the Indian only b
treaties. An Indian, according t.
law cannot take out naturalization
papers. He becomes a citizen onl
by conforming to the treaty mad
by the tribe to which he belongs
The treaty with the various tribe
all differ from each other and wer
! made in accordance with the cir
: cumstances under which they wer
formulated. This fact does mo-
however, apply to Buffalo Goa
