occurred on the I'd at Milligan,
Perry county. The frosts that oc.
Cured were generally light, but in
Il few places were sufficiently heavy
to hurt potatoes, beans and toma.

the 3D., 4th, 9th and 7th. Condi-
tions were little more favorable
than during the week previous, es.
pecially during the latter portion
of this woek, but in general way
crops were retarded. Wheat, tim.

That must hove boen embarrassing
information TO the United States senate
which Statistician Carroll D. Wright fur
nished that body last week CONCERNING
the labor cost OF lumber in this country
and In Canada. His figures showed that
while the average wages In Canadian
sawmills Is $I.4l and $1.71 per day
here, tho average labor cost of 1000
feet Of lumber Is $1.2S In Canada and
only OIL cents here The decreased cost
Of production In this country Is attrib-
uted to the superior machinery used
OF course the figures prove tho free
trade contention that the rate of wages
paid does not Indicate tho cost Of pro-
duction-that low wages are very often
more expensive to employers, and vice
versa. But these hard facts furnished
by nn officer Of the government will not
dissuade the lumber barons from their
purpose to get tariff on Canadian lum-
Der 20 that they cnn the more efFectually
rob American consumers Protectionists
care nothing for facts What they want

The Infamous Wool Schedule.

The senate computations of the equiv
alents for Dingley bill rates on woolen
goods only need to be stated. They
make opposing argument unnecessary
In the mere reading For example, the
rate Is 90 per cent on second class wool,
2S9 per cent on garnetted waste, $50
per cent on shoddy, III per cent on
woolen cloths valued at not moro than
90 cents per pound, 1877 per cent on
blankets more than three yards In
length and valued at not more than 80
cents per pound, ala per cent on shawls
valued at not exceeding 40 cents per
pound, 15l per cent on knit fabrics val
ued at not exceeding 40 cents per
pound, 257 per cent on hats Of wool val
ned at not more than 80 cents per
pound, 4l9 per cent ON felts Of the
same valre, lat per cent on plushes
valued at not over 40 cents per pound,
and 64 per cent on the aggregate of
woolen carpets
The people Of the United States could
better afford to buy every sheep In the
country and to put every shepherd ON
the pension list than to submit them
selves to such shameless plundering -

The domestic manufacturers In whose
interests these changes are supposed 10
be made have stated that they do not
deserve over 80 per cent duty on linen
goods, and one Of the principal manu-
facturers of linen and cotton handker-
chiefs In America (of Acheson, Harden
8 Co., Passaic, N. J. states that he does
not desire any advance Of duty on his
goods
The gross injustice Of these duties
can be appreciated when it is remem-
bered that, owing to climatic oondi-
tons, good fiber fax cannot be grown
or linen manufactured successfully in
this country, and when IL is further re-
membered that the kind Of linen taxed
is the kind that Is used by the poorest
GLASSES. while much lower duty Is put
on the finer grades.

When the tariff bill was about TO be
fraf I'd. The Republican leaders stated
that they desired to be moderate and to
avoid anything like excessive rates. MIR.
Aldrich, when introducing the amended
measure into the senate, claimed that
his rates were generally lower than
those Of the house bill. The linen
schedule, however. Is notable one Of
many exceptions. In 1t the senate rates
are higher than those Of the house and
much higher than anything ever before
known.
Under the Mckinley bill Of 1900 lin
ems were assessed 96 per cent with o
few exceptions az high as 60 per cent
I'D valorem. Under the rates proposed
by the senate large proportion OF the
goods In everyday use will be assessed
from 65 to 8b per cent and In some
cases over 100 per cent Tho following
table shows some Of the changes In the
cost Of medium and low grade linens:

COLORADO EXCITED.

Recently the department of agricul-
ture at Washington sent out number OF
bulletins on pom ology in Colorado, and
now Secretary Wilson lives in fear and
trembling.
The bulletins state that the range of
possibilities in the Centennial state are
small, and that the varieties of apples,
peaches, pears and small fruits are go
limited that Colorado does not amount
to much as q horticultural state after all.
Now, this is 80 exssperating, after send
ing train load of apples from Durango,
grown in New Mexico, to the east, that
the Colorado people have out their snick-
ersees for Secretary Wilson's scalp, and
that gentleman would better 20 around
the state when he goes to the Pacific
coast on his next vacation.
Governor Adams feels the slight put
upon his bailiwick SO keenly that he has
telegrsphsd Mr.. Wilson in a diplomatic
way that somebody is liar, and be can
proveit by every man, woman and child
in Denver and Pueblo. The good folks
of our neighboring state should not take
this little matter to heart for the reason
that bulletins sent out from the sgrioul-
tural department are very much like the
weather reports sent from that same d.
vision-they are very accurate when the
guess strikes the right locality.

POPULAR APPOINTMENTS.

The appointments of Judge John R.
McFie and Hon. F. W. Parker, as associ-
ate Justices of the Territorial supreme
court, have met with the approval of the
entire territory regardless of politics.
The appointments were made over a week
ago, and in the intervening time the
New Mexico press as unit has spoken
favorably of the new judges, and the
universal opinion of men of all political
faiths is that the president acted wisely in
his choice.
Judge McFie made splendid record
as a member of the supreme bench under
President Harrison, and the people of
the territory have not forgotten it. As
citizen and man his character and repu
tation are above reproach.
Judge Parker is young man of ire
proachable habits, stands we'll as mem
ber of the bar, and is possessed of legal
ability which will enable him to make a
brilliant record as member of the bench
His application for the position was in
dorsed by every man of prominence,
Democr and Republicans alike, in the
southern part of the territory, which Is a
fair indication of the respect he COM
mands where he is known, and the esteem
in which he is held by his friends and ac-
quaintances.
It is the desire of the people of the ter
ritory that Judges McFie and Parker's
appointments be confirmed by the senate
immediately after the holiday recess, that
they may take their places on the bench.

His First Chance.

"Is there man in all the audience"
demanded the female speaker on wom-
ans rights fiercely, that has ever done
anything to tighten the burden resting
on his wife's shoulders? What do you
know of woman's g work? Is there man
here" she continued, folding her arms
and looking over her audience with SUI
perb scorn, "that has ever got up in
the morning, leaving his tired, worm
out wife to enjoy her slumbers, gone
quietly down stairs, made the fire,
cooked his own breakfast, sewed the
missing buttons on the children's 8
clothes, darned the family stockings,
secured the pots and kettles, cleaned
and filled the lamps, swept the kitchen
and done all this, if necessary, day after
day uncomplainingly? If there is such
a man in this audience, let him stand
up. | should like to see him.
And far back in the hall mild look
ing man i'll spectacles, in obedience to
the summons, timidly arose. He was
the husband Of the eloquent speaker. 1t
was the first chance he had ever had to
assert himself. Tit Bits.
