Edgar T. Yarnal, a lad of some
twenty summers, met with a rough ex-

while en- route from Philadelphia with
some Of his friends to Dover Fair, to
participate in the bicycle races there.
He was stopping over night in town
when shortly after the arrival of the 8
o'clock train, he was arrested on two

Henry Forester, a lad of fifteen or
sixteen years, from the city of Mexico.
(his father being connected with the
school where. Miss Hennie briggs
teaches) reached here on Friday to go
to school with George Turner at
BustletOn, Pa. He had a very un-
pleasant experience the night he came.
Sometime after going to bed, and lit was
late when the family retired, he heard
noise as if some one was in the room.
He was soon assured of this fact, as if
some one was gathering up his clothes
and other effects, and he called to
George to bring a light, that a burglar
was in the room. This frightened the
burglar, who hastily beat a retreat
through the open window over a shed
where he had entered, dropping in his
hurry the things in his hand. From
nervousness, incident to travel or the
things about him, Mr.. Forester was
not in a sound sleep, or the result to
him and the family might have been
very different. From a hurried COM
mand given to a horse as he left the
premises, it is believed that he was
there in a vehicle and that one or more
persons were there with him. He may
belong to the gang operating about
Dover.

Mr.. DISGLEY, author Of the Dingley
Bill, in an interview with the New
York World in explaining the low rev.
enue because Of the large importations
before the final passage Of the new
Tariff Law says:
II is estimated that the loss of rev.
enue from anticipatOry impOrtatiOns
under the wool and wOOlens, sugar and
silk manufactures Of fax and tobacco
schedules for several months will reach
nearly $40, 600, 900 a month.
But by January, and perhaps earlier,
the stock Of sugar and many other ar
ticles imported in advance 10 avoid the
new duties, will be exhausted by the
consumption Of these imports. and the
Treasury will begin to receive the rev.
enue demanded.
DOLLAR WHEAT OF SHORT LIPE.
II Is probable that dollar wheat is not

Russia and Argentia NAL .e
In ordinary years TO prOtitably grow
wheat at a lower price.
But wheat and other farm products
will not be as low as they have been in
the past four years Of depression, for
the simple reason that the restoration
OF the purchasing power Of the people
means an increase Of consumption aud
consequent maintenance Of better
prices.
And with this demonstration that
the prices Of farm produce, as we'll as
everything else, are made by the cost
Of prediction and supply on one hand.
and demands on the other hand, and
not by the price OF silver, the 10 TO

A cOmmendable act was exhibited on
Saturday last that deserves to be
brought to the attention of our people.
On the judgement note of Frank
Bailey, amounting to about 800, the
Sheriff of New Castle county had levied
upon the stock and farming imple-
ments of G.. S. Moffitt ON the Rothwell
farm. The sale was to have been Sat
urdaY, which would virtually have
meant the ruin of Mr.. Moffitt. Every
one who knew the latter felt that he
was deserving, ,well-meaning man, but
like many other farmers, the 'hard
times" had caused him to run in debt.
Mr.. Mofitt had nevertheless worked
hard aud was endeavoring to make
this years crops satisfy part of his
Indebtedness at least. The auctioneer
was about to begin his familiar cry, when
Mr.. G. P. Gears, of this town, Of
fered to assume half the amount of
the judgement, if some one else would
take the other half. This act fell with
much sympathetic force on the people
and it was not long before Mr.. S. L..
Kahn said he would assume the rest.
This ended the scene. Mr.. Frank
Bailey's judgement was satisfied and
the crowd with the sheriff dispersed,
leaving Mr.. Moffitt in happier spirits
than he had felt for several weeks.

PENSION LEGISLATION.
Hearty Commendation from IN Ofganiza'
tion In Philadelphia.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: After q
careful perusal Of your editorial in the issue
of the 18th inst. on Pension Legislation" !"
we bog to offer our hearty Endorsement OF
the same, 60 per cent. of our membership
being ex-soldiers and ex-sailors, and many
having subsisted upon the labor of their
hands alone since the termination Of the
rebellion, never having received any pension
whatever.
Here in our own city women are en-
ployed in the Postoffice who were appointed
during President Cleveland's first Admins
tration. Not that we condemn the idea OF
women being given employment; but
worthy, intelligent, and compstent vet
Grams are unable to procure employment.
And, seemingly in conformity to precon-
certed system of understanding, many needy
veterans have been looked over and turned
down to whom pension would have been
Godsend.
To your efforts in our behalf we add our
commentator, urging you to continue on
the lines chosen, and many decrepld
veterans prayer will accompany your ap-
peals in their behalf, which we sincerely
hope will not be unavailing, knowing that
at the head and front of our army Of friends
stands Christian statesman and comrade-
President.
