Old omss Holders.

President Mckinley has told several
gentlemen who were applicants for the
same position they held under the Harri-
son administration that he would no: ap-
point them, no matter how strongly back
e,l they were, because he had made up
his mind not to make such appointments,
except in cases where there might be
some extraordinary circumstances justi-
fying a deviation from the rule. This j.
not because he has not high opinion OF
the ex-oflicisls, but because he thinks
others should now have an opportunity
70 share in the party hOnOrs. lie has,
however, appointed number of old Of
fceholders in exceptional eases, such as

A Farmers Trust.

a dispatch from Toledo, o., says a man
who registered at the Jefferson House, in
that place, as ak. p. Brown, of Johns
town. Pa" is organizing a secret, oath
bound farmers trust, which has been in
corpOrated under the laws of New Jer-
sey as the Agriculturists' National Pro-
tective Association, the object OF which is
to ''limit the crops TO the actual living
needs of the members of the organiza-
ton" 50 that mot a dollars worth of
farm produce of any kind will be sold
for general consumption, in order TO COM
pei the people to import all their food
produces" II Is further said that the
order originated in Lancaster, Pa, and
that several branches have been secretly
organized. The thing leaked out, We are
told, by Brown leaving his papers at the
jefferson House when he left for Colum-
bus on Thursday.
Just how the granger : 30 he benefited
by refusing 10 raise and sell farm produce
the dispatch saith not, but we are assured
that the scheme will not be put in opera
ton this year, because the Association is
not yet large enough 10 control the mar
kets; next year, however, the squeeze
viii come.
But nobody need be alarmed, for it is
more than probable that the whole thing
is a huge fake-likely another scheme t.
swindle the unsuspec.ing farmer out OF
the fee collected for membership. The
name Of X. =. Brown j. Tot in the City OF
County Directory, and it seems that DC
one here knows him. Reputable gran
/ gers hereabout say they have not heard
of such a scheme; if Mr.. Brown really

Association where il is reasonable to sup
pose he would be known.-Johnstowr

Buried a Mala With His Victim.

PLYMOUTH, Ind, April 5.-The case
against William Sutherlin, for murder,
brought here on change of venue from
Starke county, was called for trial today,
charged with having killed Fetters, his
friend and business partner.
The State claims to be able to show
that Immediately after the murder was
committed Sutherlin placed the body OF
his victim in wagon, hauled it to the
residence of Daniel Roher, from whom
be purchased an old mule, which he led
behind his wagon to the banks of Eagle
Lake. Ii is claimed that he there buried
the body Of Fetters eight feet deep.
Then the carcass Of the mule. which
had been killed and skinned, was put
into the grave and the hole was filled
up. The murderer evidently believed
that if any one dug into the grave he
would be satisfied on finding the carcass
of the mule, but he was mistaken

THE gracious act of President Me-
Kinley the other day in appointing the
son of General Phil Sheridan to a
cadetship at West Point, met with
favor in the eyes of the people. He
sent for the mother of the hoy in order
TO have the personal privilege of an
nouncing the appointment to her.
Young Sheridan is but Il years old,
but he and his mother have cherished
an ambition to have the son follow IN
the footsteps Of the father. The Presi-
dent had learned of tie boys am
bitiOn and that Mrs. Sheridan had
vainly asked President Cleveland to
appoint her son, so he acted promptly
in order that the youth might prepare
for his examinations in June.

THE talk about the possibility Of the
adoption Of a protective tariff by Eng
land as retaliation against the United
States is foolish. Free trade Is A. e.
sential to England's well-being as an
Intelligent system of protection is To
that Of the United States. England's
statesmen, Of course, know this. 4
protective tariff bill would not get fifty
votes out Of the go in the House Of
Commons. Every country will pass
through the successive stages in indus
trial development in which a high
tariff should gradually shade off into
free trade. England reached that
stage forty or fifty years ago. and the
United States may come to it forty or
fifty years hence. At present. how
ever, it is necessary to keep the pro-
tection barriers up, and this viii be
necessary for good many years vet.

No, the Peoples Advisor.

sip in the Harrisburg Telegraph. that
there are many people in Pennsylvania
who think that the Attorney General Is a
law officer whose duty ii is to give legal
advice ON every conceivable subject? 1t
is fact that the mail of the Attorney
Generals Department is swelled daily
with requests for legal opinions affecting
the personal affairs and transactions OF
individuals. Their requests are often
humorous, because of the innocence of
the writers, while others are impudent.
Attorney General Mccormick and Dep
uty Attorney General Elkin are good
natured and they let inquirers for legal
light down as easy as possible So fire.

THE ANTI OUTFIT.

Thomas Dolan, Frank Willing Leach,
Rudolph Blankenburg and other attaches
Of the political hippodrome that toured
the Pennsylvania provinces a few months
ago ldvishly emitted carefully phrased
talks with themselves intended to convey
the impression that if any man wanted q
political place from watchman in the cor
ridOr Of the postoffice building up to the
Ambassadorship to Great Britain his first
move should be 10 connect himself with
either the Business Mems League or the
Combine.
As the campaign progressed and the
seat Of war was removed 10 Harrisburg
business men almost became hystericai
on this point. The trees and dead walls
OF the quiet Daaphin county town were
covered by inflammatory placards an
nouncing TO the world in general, and to
persons possessing vote on the Senator
ship, that both Mark Hanna and Presi-
dent Mckinley would reward the men
that stood by the anti-Quay cause. They
calculated that Hanna being business
man would favor a business mems or
ganization as against the political leaders
OF the State. Bat developments since
that time prove that the President and
the National Chairman think more of the
party than they do of the ambitions of
any particular set of men.
