THE REASON WHY.


Hon. Nelson Dingley, of Name, says
that under the act of 1890, iu 1892
there were imported into this coun-
try about $36, ,O00, 900 of woolen goods,
on which, we collected duties to the
amount of $34,000.00O. During the
last calendar year, ended January 1,
1895, there were imported 100000, 900
of woolen goods, at lower valuation,
and only 81, 100000 of revenue was
collected. And unquestionably the
true valuation of the sec, ,0OO, 600 was
more than $75,000,0O0. There is
where the mischief comes in. There
is where we find the cost of collec-
tlons runs up and the revenue runs
down. The loss Of revenue on wool
and woolens alone has been at least
go, 900, 600 and the cost Of collecting
the larger amount of revenue has
been more than the cost of collecting
the smaller amount. Worse than this,
you have transferred to Europe the
manufacture of more than $3O, ,OOO,-
OoO of woolen goods, which under the
act of 1900 was done in this country,
and have decreased the revenues and
increased the cost of collection and
taken away the manufacture Of $780,.
OOO, 600 of woolens from the working.

The demand for a return to recipro.
city is as universal and vigorous as is
the demand for q restoration of other
features of the Mckinley tariff. This
combination will form the basis for
the construction Of a protective tariff
that will, we trust, be enacted by a
special session of Congress in less than
year from now, and without any
suggestions from Bermuda potato
growers, Australian sheep farmers,
French chambers of commerce, Aus.
trian manufacturers or British bull.

$500 PER ANNUM
wEATHERLY.

Some sunshine this week has per-
lnitted intermittent work in the
fields, but heavy rains of last week
and showers this week added to that
of preceding weeks, have left the soil
very wet, and the first week in May is
gone, with probably not to exceed two
per cent Of the seeding done and moi
over twenty-five per cent of the plow-
ing done of the usual wheat acreage.
That this is very serious needs no
argument, and it is the condition Of
the whole Bed River Valley, Even
more fayorable estimate of the
work done could not much improve the
aggregate lateness of the season and
seeding. Much Of the success of this
years crop will depend on the fall.
An early frost will be calamity.
The Tongue, Park, Pembina and
other local branches of the Red river
were all bank full last week and most
OF the bridges had to be secured by
ropes.
The roads have been is a worse con-
dition and for a longer time than has
been known since the grades were
made, and nobody travels or hauls
that can help it. OF course during
the dry spells the surface dries rapid

team or 60 upon cultivated lands with

Wednesday was our first hot, sultry
day, and it was q scorcher. During
the twenty-four hours the transfor-

shade trees in town and the groves by
the river were bare, just showing the
brown and green of the bursting buds.
On Thursday morning the leaves were
as ''big as squirrels ears" and the
trees were robed in their dress of liv-
ing green.

THREE NATIONAL TICKETS.

But the very completeness and sue
cess of the party machine IN New
York, which avows itself satisfied
with Governor Morton and pretends
to support him as presidential can
didate, is what makes Governor Nor
ton an impossibility. The willing and
obedient servant of a state or local
machine has never yet been accepted
by a national republican conventions;
and this year Of all years is going to
belong to public opinion rather than
to political bosses. Party machinery
is destined this year to be very seri-
ously fractured. There will be at
least three strong presidential tickets
in the field. II Mr.. Mckinley should
be nominated at St. Louis, there will
certainly be a split at Chicago. The
result of that split will be an extreme
gold party and an extreme silver
party. The republican phalanx, on
the other hand, will not split in the
center. 1t will merely lose part of
its extreme left wing. That is to say.
some eastern business men who call
themselves republicans would rather
support a candidate like Carlisle on a
gold platform than support Mckinley
on a compromise plank. On the
other hand many OF the far western
republicans, under the lead of Senat-
or Teller and his friends, would
rather support a democratic ticket
headed by man like Governor Boies.
of Iowa, on o tree silver platform,
than support Mr.. Mckinley or Mr..
Allison,-n to mention Mr.. Reed,
ON such platform as the repubii-
cans are likely to adopt at st. LOUIS.
AS for the populists, they are going
to wait and see what happens In the
republican and democratic conyen-
tions. 1t has been for some time
very strongly limited that the free sill
, yer forces of all parties may unite
upon Senator Cameron, of Pennsyl-
vania, as their candidate, and per-
suade him to accept the nomination.
1t would seem easier, however, to
hold the southern vote with a west.
ern democrat like Governor Boies as
the pro-silver candidate. 1t is not
impossible that the breakup of party
machinery may give US four formida.

Chicago Germans went Oh record last
evening as being opposed to bicycle rid
| ing. Up TO this time the wheel has
| reigned supreme i'll their ranks, as else
where, with nobody to say nay, but now
the spell has been broken. The men who
refused TO sanction pedaling as an ex-
ercise are all in touch with prominent
athletic societies, and their action was
taken only after careful consideration.
1t was the twenty fifth annual meeting
of what is known as the Indiana division
in Turngemeinde circles. This section
includes representatives of the principal
German athletic societies OF Chicago
Besides these, there are Two Louisville
societies, and a number Of Indiana Or
ganizations. All were represented by
delegates who, after one OF the most
spirited debates n the history of the
district, refused TO commend to the Ma
tional Turngemeinde convention, which
will meet in Louisville, June 81. that
prizes he given for bicycle riding as well
as for other kinds of athletic sports.
Thus, the two-wheeled vehicle stands
alone as an outcast from the Turner's
ranks, for scarcely any other sort of
machine used for exercising purposes has
been put under the ban by the Germa Ms

distinct issue was made before the mat
ter was voted upon. This was whether or
not the wheel was conducive to health. A
number of speakers argued that it was not.
1t was asserted that it encrvated the sys-
tenn, and, most of all, thatit made the body
crooked and caused STOPPING shoulders and
spine trouble. No machine, they claimed,
whose tendency was to do these things
should be indorsed by the athletic body.
One of the principal objects of the organiza-
tion, they said, was to make the body
straight and perfect in every particular.
The advocates of bicycling then had an
inning. They cited the out-of-door feature
OF the sport and its increasing popularity
but their arguments availed them nothing
When 1t came to vote the proposition was
defeated by n substantial ma jorty.
Friends OF the safety got but little con-
ISOLATION out of 4 compromise which they
effected shortly afterward, but which
hardly mitigated the force OF the blow
which they had received This was the
passing of resolution to the effect that
an exhibition OF bicycle riding shall be
given In the future. 1t was expressly
stipulated, however, that no prizes shall
be awarded. and that the only event to
be considered is grace in carriage. Speed
is to take no part in the show, and an
effort 10 make IL feature met with so
much opposition that 1T was plain the

thing to be. The men who deliberately sub
stitute the Sunday bicycle ride for the

On the other hand, the cyclists say they
would not neglect church If the services
were held at such hours as to enable them
to take spin ON their wheels after ward.
They contend that now church services are
regulated for the drones who desire TO
sleep late on Sunday morning, and not for
