DDS of Arkansas Farmers.

Johnston County farmers in the vicin-

operations in an effort to rid the COM
munity of cotton thieves. For the last
two or three years farmers in that neigh
borhood have been annoyed by wholesale
petty thieves. Cotton, cattle and hogs
have been stolen The other night an
armed band of twenty-five farmers called
on several families suspected of the thefts
and notified them to leave the community.
Instead of leaving, the alleged thieves are
arming themselves with shotguns, and
trouble is expected to occur.

Tut it remains, nevertheless, for DR.. Nam
zen to explain why he left the Fran and
all of his companions but one and made
his way back to civilization.
We are assured that DIR. Nansen brings
back with him several maps and many
photographs to increase our knowledge
OF the region that he visited. He was gone
three years, and there is no reason to be-
,ieve that is to say, that he accomplished
anything of substantial Importance. The
fact that he got nearer to the pole than
any previous explorer counts only in a
comparative way, and not as n decisive
triumph 1t can be said, perhaps, that
he has added something to the possibility
of ultimate success in the case, and this
will encourage other adventurous spirits
to make other attempts of that sort, and
in the course of time the pole may be
reached.

Abigail Dodge, better known as Gail

Miss Dodge for many years was con-

Poor Cron in Canada.

The crop outlook in the Canadian North
west is dismal. Manitoba is ON the eve of
her harvesting season. but there is an
alarming contrast between her wheat
fields year ago and to-day. For weeks
after the harvest season of 1895 the Ca
madam Pacific Railway was taxed beyond
its spowers TO carry out the great-crop. This
year there will be very little, If any,
wheat TO go east for export. The weekly
reports issued by the railways traversing
the province are purposcly misleading.
The Canadian Pacific Railway is anxious
to conceal from its shareholders and 9th
ers the losses which it will sustain by the
failure of the Northwest crops. Last
year the wheat yield of Manitoba alone
was in round figures 30,000,000 bushels,
an average yield per acre of about IS
bushels. The area sown in Manitoba and
the Northwest this year was only 10 per
cent. of that of 1895. Farmers were kept
so busy last autumn getting in and ship
ping their large crops that they did very
little fall plowing. Much of the sowing
done was on stubble land, and this has
turned out an almost total failure. In ad-
dition to this the lightning and hail storm
of Sunday, Aug. 2, caused widespread
damage. In some portions of Southern
Manitoba the sweep of the storm was
thirty miles in width and it devastated
everything in its path. Careful estimates
by local newspaper men and the agents
Of Eastern milleIs and others place the
total yield of the Northwestern wheat
fields at only GO per cent of the crop of

JAPANESE competition in the
commerce of the United States is
proving a prominent argumenta-
tive handle, not alone for the labor
agitator and the tariff tinker. The
advocates of free silver are taking
up the matter as we'll, and not
without reason. The expenses
of Oriental firms are paid in silver,
and as the products are sold in the
United States and England for
gold or its equivalent, the manufac-
turers of the Eastern countries
have an advantage of nearly 80 per
cent. in the difference of exchange.
With the existing monetary condi
tons, coupled with the low wages of
the Orient, the Western nations are
facing a situation that cannot be
remedied by tariff laws. At the
present time American silver can
be purchased in gold at 81 cents an
ounce. That silver can be coined
in Eastern countries, where it will
pay for as much labor as it did
when silver was worth as much as
gold. That the reconciliation of
silver will be the panacea for all
the commercial woes accompany
ing Oriental competition is by no
means probable. Such a course
would bring the workingman of
the gold countries to level with
the silver competitors, and the last
condition would be worse than the
first. Neither free silver alone nor
high tariff alone will solve the
problem, but a moderate revision of
the tariff and a moderate increase
of silver will undoubtedly 60 long |
way towards it.
