On the Manitoba side of the
boundary lire the farmers are
putting in justi6able big kick on
the treatment received from eleva
tor companies in the grading of
wheat. One of our exchanges, the
Morden Chronicle, contends that
by the fraudulent mis-grading of
wheat the farmers of three NUM-
cipalities have been cheated out
of a sum approaching to $4,000
This is arrived at as the difference
between No. l hard and No. 2
hard, on approximately 100000
bushels of wheat. OF this great
quantity Of wheat, probably not
one-tenth, has been graded No. l
hard. At Morden elevator, all
wheat is graded No. 2. Yet there
is good evidence that almost
all the wheat grown in the district
under consideration will meet the
requi, ements of No. l hard as de-
fined at the beginning Of the ship
ping season by the grain standard
board.

The administration doesn't wish
the Nicaragua Canal question to
be acted upon by this congress-,
and when Mckinley said in his
message that he would have some
thing further to say on the SUBJ
ject when he submitted the report
Of the commission which has just
started for Nicaragua to make a
new survey and estimate of cost.
under III act of congress, he WAS
fully aware that the commission
was not likely to make a report
before the death of the Fifty.fifth
congress. In fact, it is known
that members of the commission
were given a broad hint before
their departure that their report
was not expected before March 4,
1899. -.

the republicans have not been able
to get back the farmers votes they
lost on the silver question, and
that they are not likely to get them
back so long as that question is
unsettled,

LEAvES IT TO DEMOCRATS.

President McKinley's message
was disappointing in nothing more
than in it's failure to take any
cognizance whatever of the in
creasing evils of trusts and mono-
poles. No question that has en-
Gagged the attention of the Ameri
can people is more serious than
this, and it was naturally supposed
that the president would at least
refer to its| gravity, even if he did
not suggest q remedy for the
hurtful effects of commercial and
industrial Capitalization.
To have proclaimed against
them would, of course, have been
a declaration of hostility to Ding
leyism, for no law ever placed up
on the statutes of the country has
so fostered trusts. But the pre-.
chief cabinet officer, Sec
rotary Sherman, talked so bravely
a few weeks ago against the grow
ing power and multiplying evils of
trusts that the people were led to
hope the subject would receive
earnest attention from the nations
chief magistrate in his first ex-
haustive state paper. Indeed the
hope was held out by Mr.. Sher-
man in interviews not long ago
that the administration would take
steps to strengthen and amplify the
inadequate antitrust law which
bears his name.
The presidents failure, there
fore, to take any notice of this
vitality important matter can be
accounted for only on the hypo-
thesis that he did not choose to ex.
pose his party to the reproaches
and enmity of he benefciaries of
the trusts.
The platform upon which Mr..
Mckinley was elected was as silent
on tho subject as is the presidents
message. Nowhere in the St.
Louis pronouncement of the re-
publican party's principles can
there be found word of hostility
to trust. The democratic plat
form, on the contrary, declares
with ringing emphasis its unalter-
able opposition to all dangerous
forms of trusts and points out how
they enrich the few at the expense
of the many, restrict trade, and
deprive the producers of access to
natural markets.
In ignoring the subject of trusts
the president has given strength
to the growing conviction that his
party has been so syndicated with
the great aggregations of capital
that it cannot dissolve the part
u ership as long as he is in the
White House. The only hope Of
relief, then, from the oppressive
burdens on the nations Industrial
energies and thrift imposed by
them rests with the democratic
party.

SHE WAS BEsET WITH SNAKES
Miss Stager, school teacher ofStarke,
Fla, was out fishing with party on
Friday at q lake. She got separated
and went into boat near the shore to
fish. A big moccasin snake came in
over the side and she killed it with the
oar. Soon another came in the other
side and she fought for several minutes
before she killed it. She then started
for shore. Just as the boat touched
the bank big rattler sprang up in
front of her and seized her gown with
its fangs. She seized light wood knot
and in a few minutes killed it. A
second later in The path another one
sprang at her, and this one managed to
hook on her dress also. Che tried to
strike it, but fell headlong. The rattler
attempted to strike her, but being en-
tangled in her dress could not.
Miss Stager managed to scramble up,
and a second later hurled the light
wood knot at the snake, breaking its
back. 1t fell down squirming. The
girl screamed for aid and started for
the camp, but tainted before she reach
ed it. Her companions will have the
two big rattlers mounted for her. They
were the largest specimens seen in that
region for long time.
