Trouble for the Tariff.

London, July ga pessimistic view
is taken by the Spectator OF the condi-
tions likely to develop under the new
American tariff. 1t says:
"Never before has the complete dom
ination of the trusts over the Republican
party been made SO palpable to the aver
age man. Congress has been ordered to
protect the trusts and has obeyed. We
find protection stripped of its old pre-
tensions and excuses. 1t is reduced to a
bare mercenary aspect. 1t means the
enabling of wealthy corporations to levy
tribute upon the masses and to use the
powers of the government to enhance
piles that are already enormous. We
believe that with just cause behind
them the United States might safely defy
all the Vaccinations of hostile Europe,
but in aggressive policy, dictated by
selfish pecuniary interests, it must be said
plainly that the United States runs a
serious risk, and how fatal that might be
to all the highest interests of mankind is
abundantly clear. We trust that all wise
and rightly guided Americans will sound
a warning against this bill. II the alter
mates for the republic are to be on the
one hand a policy of jingoism and on the
other policy of crude con6scation. then
a very serious crisis for order, freedom
and national safe government will have
arrived"

COUNTY OFFICIALS SCRAP.
Commissioner Feeny and Assessor Metcalf
Engage In Hostilities.

| Commissioner Feeny and Assessor Metcal1
Engage In Hostilities.
This morning the deputies in Assessor
Metcalf's Office went ona strike and work
in that bee hive ceased The complaint
is over the old mooted question of salar-
les and the officials refuse to return to
work until the county commissioners
equaiize salaries as well as taxes. The
claim of the assessors office is that all
deputies are paid 81 per day save those
of the assessor and they have been cut
to $3.50. When on the road it is said
that the assessors deputies have to pay
their own expenses, which usually con-
sumes the amount of the salary paid. 1t
is this condition that the assessor and his
deputies want remedied.
At 1890 the county commissioners and
the assessor and his bondsmen, Messrs.
Nicholson and Cowie, met together in
the commissioners room to hold a con-
ference over the matter. The assessor
claimed that by agreement with the COM
missioners he had employed Hi Dantord
at salary of 81 day, the commission.
ers having agreed as to Danford's COM
potency and the salary. Danford's June
salary was cut to 81. 50 as was that of Mr..
Pyle and the others, Notwithstanding the
agreement which Mr.. Metcalf claims to
have made with the commissioners.
1t was during the recitation of these
facts that ldr. Feeny remarked upon the
inef6ciency of Mr.. Metcalf's clerical
help, so arrousing the assessor that the
lie was passed, in addition to some other
very strong and violent language, which
attracted the attention of the sheriff, who
was passing by and dropped in to see
the fun. Mr.. Dyer arrived just in time
to interrupt Mr.. Metcalf as he was max

The sultan Is over so years old of
medium height, with clear olive com
plexion. dark hair, high forehead and
large dark brown eyes The habitual
expression of his face is one of extreme
sadness. Though the pashas who attend
his palace when ministers or embassa-
doris are entertained are decorated with
regal splendor, he always appears in
plain garb wearing a red fez, frock
coat and trousers of dark blue stuff and
patent leather shoes A broad service
sword with steel scabbard, which he
holds sheathed IN his hand, completes
the costume. Sometimes a single decora-
ton is worn on his breast When he is
seen thus plainly attlred in the throne

the feast of Bairam, seated on an otto
man covered with cloth of gold, to re-
ceive the congratulations of his civil
and military chiefs, who are all radiant
in uniforms and decorations, the con.
trast is very striking No Christians

The Message.

President McKinley's message is given
elsewhere in the REPORTER this week.
1t is above the average length of mes
sages of the chief executive as it con-
tains quite lengthy discussions of topics
of great public interest.
1t will be observed that the President
gives much more space to the Cuban sit
uaton than any other issue. His able
handling of the different and complicated
phases Of a situation that has long held
the attention and interest of American
citizens for many years. will be a revela-
ton to many who have censured the
government because it has not inteferred
in some way in favor of the insurgents.
The President discusses at length the
practical aspects of recognition of the
belligerency Of Cuba, showing, that
while such an act would be one of great
Inconvenience to our OWE country, it
would be of no corresponding advantage
to the insurgents.
The currency, annexation of Hawaii,
arbitration, reciprocity, the sealing
question, the navy, Alaska, the Pacific
railroad, Indian affairs, yellow fever al d
civil service are among the other topics
treated in this comprehensive and able
State paper.
The estimates of the expenses of
government are alluded to and Congress

Christmas Advertisers.

The Christmas holidays, the glad sea-
son of the year for little and larger peo-
pie, approaches, end our merchants have
their large stocks of desirable goods ar
ranged to attract customers, and their
advertisements appear in the REPORTER
this week.
They have spared no Effort to secure
merchandise that will please, and off r
the MANY desirable articles at prices
which defy competition of traders in any
other town or city, and none need take
or send their money out of town with a
view of getting more OF better goods
for it.
Beside, most of those in our town who
cater to the holiday trade have for years
been merchandising here, are familiar
with the trade, know the needs and
wants of our people better than strang-
ers, are going to continue in the business
for years to come, and are bound by a
multitude of considerations to do the
right thing by their customers. If they
do not, if their goods are not just what
they represent them to be, you know
where their place of business is and
where they can be found six days in the
week, and you can make life burdensome
to them if they do not make good all
dereletions or imperfections in goods
sold while an out-of-toWn trader may
cheat you numerically to-day, and not
know you tomorrow. He has an inter
est in you only for to-day, and TO get
what money you have for the present,
but the home merchant who desires your
custom the year round, is obliged to use
you as well as possible, even were he
inclined to do otherwise. The unmistak-
able moral of this line of thought is :
"Patronize your home merchants"
This is no new doctrine for the REPOR-
TER. 1t is repetition, but, although al
most an axiom, is worthy of repetition
many times over because of the iuclina-
ton amounting almost to passion which
many people have of purchasing goods
away from home, and adding increased
price to transportation expenses.
Give our own merchants fair trial
before purchasing elsewhere. They
help you out in your fairs, charities,
public enterprises, pay taxes for all pub
lie purposes, and in general, as citizens,
stand by the town and help along all
societies and good causes.
