His Venezuelan Attitude Does Not

LONDON, April 25.-The Times criticism
Of Lord Salisbury's inaction in regard to
Venezuela, taken in conjunction with other
circumstances, lends color to the report that
he will shortly resign the foreign Office to
the Duke of Devonshire. 1t has been fire.
quently pointed out that his excessive OBJ
stinacy of temperament should be reckoned
a considerable factor in forecasting the issue
Of the Venezuelan deadlock. Now it is sug'
gested even in ministerial circles that, so
persistently welded is he to his objection to
referring the matter to arbitration his re-
signation may come under pressure from his
own colleagues. 1t is certain that to pre-
cipitate a serious danger such as war with
the United States would be followed by the
immediate downfall Of the ministry and the
practical extinction of its party.

ONE OF TWO HOBBIES.
stockgrowers Prefer a Wool Tariff
to Free Silver.

to Free Silver.
MILES CITY, Mont, April 25.-As showing
that there is division in Montana on the ques-
tion of silver as against the wool interests
the following resolution, unanimously adopt
ed this week at the meeting Of the Custer
County Wool Growers association at this
city, is evidence enough. 1t was passed after
a hot debate:
Resolved, That the president Of this as
sociation, in his official capacity, write our
senators and congressman in Washington,
asking them if they will support a tariff bill
placing reasonable duty on wool, regardless
of silver"
Custer county is the center Of the live stock
industry of the state, and a great wool grow
ing district. This action of its wool growers
is of extreme Importance, in that it shows a
division of opinion In this silver state on the
question of silver, and indicates that part of
the state is willing to abandon the silver
fight in exchange for duty on wool.

ly hour yesterday morning, when Mr.
James E. Beasley, a travelling man for a

as usual, Cupid triumphed. Miss Pierce
had been visiting relatives in Phpba,

morning, her relatives supposing that
she was to return to her home in Cliff

was running from Cedar Bluff to West

An Honest Confession.

The Bankers Magazine Of New York,
in its issue Of August, 1896, makes this
startling confession:
They, (the farmers, derive their
resources from the sale or use Of their
crops. The price of their crops is an
item of great Importance to them. 1t is
useless to say that the proposition in
favor of the free coinage Of silver does
not strike this class of men favorably
1t is admitted that if silver were reinsta
ted prices of all farm products would
rise. In any n year, if the price of
wheat were doubled, the farmer can
pay his bills for help and for supplies
twice as easy as he could before. He
may have something left to tighten his
mortgage, if there is one on his farm.
For a mar so situated, to simply get out
of debt gives him a new lease of life.
His immediate living he can extract
from his farm For a time, at least, he
becomes entirely independent. What
does it matter to him if others 60 to the
wall. He reflects that very few, if'any,
seemed to care when he was going to
the bad. Therefore it is not surprising
that we see agricultural papers advoca-
ting the free coinage of silver, and that
the silver craze has made deepimpres.
