farmers should produce the $4,000, ,000
worth of goat skins that we import an
nually, as well as the sos, ,320 worth of
beans and peas, the $500, ,G44 worth of
cabbages, the S127,595 worth of potatoes,
the 100000 worth of hops, the 81, ,773, ,535
worth of hay, and, in the southern states, the
nearly S2,200,000 worth of rice. Other
things that the secretary thinks we ought
to grow in this country are vanilla beans,
tea, camphor, cork, rubber, myrrh, frank
incense, and, if we must have it, opium.
All these things can be grown in various
sections of the United States, and all they
need to make them profitable is little in
telligence and energy on the part of th e
planters. Beginnings have been made
with most of them, and seem to be fairly
successful.
But the point for the American farmer
to reflect upon most profoundly is the larg e
amount of his own staples now supplied by
foreigners. Why doesn't he grow these
things himself, and so capture the money
that now goes abroad for them? 1t is a
question to be taken up and considered in
broad way by representative farmers, an d
by farmers organizations, both natona |
and local.

Greece and Turkey.

The War Is over, and Greece Is Ready
for Peace on Terms to he Prescribed
by the European Powers.
The war between Greece and Turkey is
practically over Greece accepted on Tues
day proposition for mediation by the six
great European powers. The mediation of
the powers is based on the condition that
the Greek government shall proceed to
recall its troops from Crete, adhere for
mally TO autonomy for Crete and accept
unreservedly the counsels which the powers
give in the interests of peace"
The settlement of the terms of peace
may be difficult business however. The
Porte has begun by making great demands.
AS the price of peace he asks for an indem-
nifty of S15, ,000,0 900, Encouragement of the
Greek frontier, cession of the Greek feet
to Turkey, and the settlement of the
Cretan question. Public sentiment in Eu-
rope will hardly acquiesce in any point in
this list England it is believed, will op-
pose every one of the claims The wish of
that country will be to reGstabish the con-
ditions that existed before the war, with
the exception that Crete shall be evacuated,
and small indemnity be paid to Turkey.
The powers soon may realize that the pro-
cess of securing Turkish consent to such
terms will be more dangerous to the peace
of Europe than the present war. In fact,
the political peris of the Eastern situation
may be found to be only just beginning, in
stead of at an end. In any case "the centre
of interest is now transferred from the bat
tleields of Thessaly to the closets of diplo-
macy, where the Ottoman Turk is even
more accomplished than in storming re-
doubts and meeting death unfinchingly at
the cannon's mouth
According to yesterdays dispatches it
is in doubt whether the Turkish govern
ment will submit to mediation and order
an armistice. One account has it that the
sultan resents the offer of the powers, and
will insist on making his own terms with
| Greece.
The Greek premier says the govern
ment is in serious predicament. In Or
der to receive mediation it has comprom-
ised itself in the eyes of both Greeks and
Cretans without obtaining positive guar
antee that Turkey will cease hostilities.
Should war be resumed the position of the
government will be most unenviable.

Unhappy Cuba.
1t Is Believed in Washington that the
President Is Gathering Information
and Getting Ready to Act DecisIvely.

1t Is Believed in Washington that the
President Is Gathering Information
and Getting Ready to Act DecisIvely.
1t is understood in Washington that the
administration is in possession of a very
important report on the situation in Cuba
which was received from Consul General
Lee the last of April. In this report Gen
eral Lee states that the insurgents are not
decreasing in numbers, but according to
the most trustworthy information there are
more of them now than when he went to
the island. Their apparent want of organi-
zation is due to their deliberate policy of
conducting a guerrilla warfare. The Gu
bans believe that they can be most effective
by pursuing their present method. There
is no ground, General Lee says, for Gen
eral Weyler's claim that the island is being
pacifed.
Coupled with this information comes the
semi-otficial announcement that Mr.. Cal
houn of Illinois is in Cuba to make obser-
vations for President Mckinley and report
to him on his return. Immediate action
is expected after Mr.. Calhoun's return.
The President has made up his mind that
if, as he expects, Mr.. Calhoun's report
confirms that of Consul-General Lee and
the general newspaper statements, he will
act promptly, with a view to ending the
hostilities in Cuba.
AS Mr.. Calhoun is expected to return
from Havana by June 10, President Nc
Kinley's Cuban policy may be determined
and announced by July l. AS its forecast
is pleasing to Senators Lodge, Foraker and
Morgan, it will be what is called "vigor-
ous," and in the interests of the Cuban in
surgents rather than of Spain, but the end
sought will be to bring about peace in
Cuba without provoking war with Spain.
Yesterday the Senate committee on For
eign relations had under consideration a
report on Cuban affairs, in which special
stress was laid on the deplorable condition
of American citizens in Cuba, hundreds of
whom are literally starving They are
scattered in all parts of the island and are
shown no consideration whatever because
of their American citizenship. They are
generally persons who lived on the planta-
tions, but who have been driven from their
homes to the towns or concentrates and
who, being among strangers and without
| employment, are compelled to subsist on
almost nothing. They are not allowed to
return to their plantations, nor even pick
berries, nor secure the least article of sub
sistence.
The report also indicates a generally
wretched condition of all the inhabitants
of the island because of the scarcity of
food and money, and because also of the
pressure of the most malignant diseases,
such as yellow fever, smallpox and dysen-
terry. These diseases the natives withstand
with comparative ease, but they are espe-
cially oppressive to the Spanish soldiery.
The reports indicate that the Spanish
army is not so strong as it was year ago,
Il ~ II.
they indicate no diminution of the insur-
| gent forces

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald wires that paper that
"the sugar schedule of the tariff bill, as
framed by the Republican members of the
Senate finance committee in the interest of
the trust, is doomed to defeat" After a
careful canvass by personal interviews the
correspondent finds a clear majority of six
against the schedule. The names of A.
Senators are given who are against the
schedule and trust; siX-Aldrich, Allison,
Morrill,, Platt of Connecticut, Quay and

committal, and II are not classified. The
correspondent adds that 1.-TWO of the Sen
ators classed as in favor of the schedule

mont was non-committal when | saw him,
but he can safely be classed as in favor OF

Proctor are not quoted.

A Large Question for Farmers 10 Con.
slider and Answer


The new secretary of agriculture, James
Wilson of Iowa, has been looking over the
statistics of agriculture and its related in
dustries, and has discovered many things
that might interest the American farmer,
tariff or no tariff. For instance, he has
found that this country imported last year
100000 eggs, and that $4,000 dozen of
them came from China. The latter fact
loses much of its impressiveness when it is
remembered that the Chinese in this coun-
try import large quantities of eggs from
home; but why should the product of the
American hen be supplanted, or supple
mented, as the case may be, by 100000
dozen eggs from Canada? Secretary Will
son thinks this is because the American
farmer does not keep a sufficiently sharp
eye o,his own interests and he is inclined
to be indignant because we import $780,
100000 worth of sugar every year, instead
of growing it ourselves, in the form OF
sugar beets.
Similarly, the secretary thinks our own

Moses Cheney was the son of New Hamp-
shire clergyman, but passed the most of
his life in Barnard. He taught singing
school for many years, and many middle
aged people in and out of the state will re-
member his ministrations. He was an ir-
repressible humorist as we'll as a musician,
and there are extant stories about him
without number. He represented Barnard
in the legislature when the present state
house was located and made a speech in
the midst of the hot contest about the mat
ter, urging Barnard as the true place for
the capitol, which stands as the funniest
talk ever made in the dignifed house. He
had for a number of years lived in South
Dakota with one of his sons.

The dreadful fire in the charity bazar at
Paris last week has called cut from an un-
known donor gift of S1S7, 800 to the COM
mittee in charge of the bazar. This money
is to be used for the charitable purposes
which the fair was intended to benefit,

when the bazaar was held without accident

The House of Representatives refused. at
Tuesdays session, to agree to the Senate's
proposal to revoke President Cleveland 5
order establishing thirteen new forest res
ervations in the states beyond the Mssiss-
ippi. Under the Harrison administration
about eighteen million acres of forest land
were withdrawn from sale and set apart as
a nucleus of a system of forest reserves.
To this President Cleveland added over
twenty-one million acres in series of
proclamations which he signed on the 22d
of February. The lumber interests of the
Northwest objected to having their field of
operations thus curtailed and tried to have
the proclamations nullifed by Congress,
but they have failed, as they ought to have
done.

While the new tariff bill waits in the
Senate imports are being rushed into the
country at rate which is unprecedented.
The imports at the port of New York
alone last week amounted to SIS, ,3s2, ,019
The highest figure ever before reached
there in single week was less than ST.
100000. In the list were Sj,340,371 Of
dry goods, S1,0OO,OOO each of cottons and
linens, and about 100000 of silk. The
imports exceeded the exports by more than
Sl1, 10000 Under such circumstances it
is not strange that gold is going abroad
again.

The importation of foreign goods in ad-
vance of the new tariff is on an almost un-
precedented scale. Last week the i'm
ports at New York aggregated $685.
600 against S14, 600 the preceding
week, and 50, AS, 600 in the corresponding
week of 1896. The imports since Jan.
amount to Sl96,010,0O0, which is nearly
S20,000,000 more than in the same period
last year. There was a big excess of i'm
ports over exports last week. The many
importations explain in part the recent
shipment of 100000 of gold, and it is
possible that they may force further ship
ments this week. The clearing house
statement shows decrease of S6,SSS, 20C
in legal tenders, explained by their use tc
obtain gold from the treasury.
