Mr.. EDITOR:-
The State Farmers Institute held at Col

worth attending by every agriculturist of the
State. There was a great deal to be seen. a
great deal to be heard and a great deal to be
learned 1t was welcome at the College, vel
come at the experimental station and wei
come at the Agricultural Department in
Washington. When we were being received
by the Hon. James Wilson, Chief of Agri.
culture of the Nation, his Honor was asked
If he had ever heard of such persons as
farmers. "Why, yes" he replied. 'They are
the very backbone and sinew of the land"

Ex-senator John J. Ingalls,, of Kan
sas, whose fame as brilliant writer,
a man of remarkable schola rship and
literary attachments, is even greater
than that of the distinguished senat-
or, announces new book on the SUBJ
ject of the American-Spanish-C Cuban
War. It is entitled "America's War
For Humanity IN picture and Story"
1t is published by the N. D. Thomp-
son Publishing Co., of st. Louis, Mo-,
and is an exhaustive discussion of the
causes of the war, and an equally ex-
haust,ve history of it's incidents, and a
brilliant analysis of the famous char
acters conducting it. It promises to
he the one great and popular work call
ed forth by this wonderfully interest
ing national episode. Whatever SEN
ator Ingalls, touches he adorns; and
this book shines and sparkles in the
light of his genius. The present work
is worthy of his genius, and will be a
monument to his fame. The subject
now so engrosses the popular mind as
to forecast for this book a sale that
will be universal. 1t will be sold by
subscription only. and the canvassing
samples are now ready for agents.
We advertise it in another column.

The Governors Prospective Gold Mine

That fragrant abuse of the pardon
ing power and the ignoring of the
board OF pardons, perpetrated on the
public by the release of the felon Stew
ems from the state pen, promises to
continue to haunt the Governor in
his dreams. This man Stevens was
under sentence of ten years for grand
larceny, although proven guilty at the
TRIAL OF smuggling and even piracy.
His record while in the pen proved
him to be hard character, yet in de-
fiance of everything, this man is turn
ed loose before one-third his term is
is over, under strangely suspicious
clrcumstaces. Stevens is now in Alas
ka, accompanied by his former guards
under leave of absence, in the search
OF an alleged gold mine. This is ev-
identity pretty rank deal, and as the
Olvmpian says: This is reform but
1t will be very difficult to explain how
IL diners from corruption of the yilest
and most damnable sort, And #
strikes decidedly close to the fountain
head" The newspapers of all classes
are stirring the matter up in the hone
OF getting an explanation.

The Government Wins the Game.

1t is estimated that the duty which
will be payable upon tea forming the
cargOes of three Northern Pacific
steamers now on their way to this
port from Japan will amount 10 ST.
100000
When the war broke out and new
tax upon tea was feared an attempt
was made to rush heavy cargoes across
the Pacific before the extra duty be-
came operative. The Olympia, Col
umbia and Arizona are the three YES
sells in question, the first named being
due here Sunday, the second about
June % and the Arizona is still in
Asiatic waters. The last named liner
alone may receive some word of the
tax imposition, and on this account
may change her plans, bringing a less
expensive cargo.
AS the law imposing the duty was
signed by the president on Monday,
and went into effect on Tuesday, the
Olympia will find that she has arrived
four or five days too late. The Col
umbla had set out from Tacoma with
cargo for Hongkong when the tea
duties came before congress. The
vessel was reached by cable at Kobe
and instructed to unload her cargo and
take on full load of tea at Yokoba-
ma.
The war duty imposed upon tea
amounts to 10 cents on the pound.
Had the three vessels reached this
port before it became operative it
would have saved importers millions
OF dollars. Another reason for rush
ing the Northern Pacific liners back
to this port is the chance that the
government may accept them as trans
ports. These are circumstances that
combine to make this record month
for imports, and also for the number
OF trans-Pacifc liners that will be on
the Sound at one time.

Conflict over Forestry Reserves.

A conflict over the amendment in
the sundry civil bill repeating the
forestry reserves is on between the sem
ate and the house conferees. The lat
ter are not willing to recede and say
they will not agree to an amendment
repeating these forestry reserves. What
the ultimate result will be no one can
tell, but it looks as if the senate con-
ferees would have to recede. All of
the Western senators in whose states
reserves have been made are very
much exercised and are bringing what
ever influence they have to retain the
amendment.
The senate committee on public
lands has favorably reported Senator
wilson's bill setting aside portion of
the lands in the Pacific forest reserve
OF Washington for use as a public park
to be known as the Washington Ma
tlonal Park. Favorable consideration
OF Ills measure is expected in the sem

THE Reporter has just entered its

Gov. ROGERS has no excuse but
political for committing the Sc ntences

not justified, it would have appeared a
less censurable act if he had pardoned
them outright in the beginning. But
he has permitted the sentence to run

10000 KlOndikerS on the Trail.

LAKE BENNETT, N. w. T., June g.
via Victoria June 14.-In the last
three days four thousand boats, each
craft on an-.saverage containing four
persons, have sailed from Lake Bennett
for the Klondike gold fields.
Since the ice began breaking at
1ake-1e Barge, extending to Lake
Bennett, the mounted police estimate
that an army of 10000 have gone down
the Yukon River to the mines. Men
from every part Of the world, expert
enced and inexperienced miners, men
from all walks of life, rich and poor,
joined ip the wild rush. More than
5000 women are included in lc av-
alanche of humanity which is sweep
Ing toward Dawson.
The rush is lndescribable. Thou
sands of boats covered the placid ice
water of the lake and were ready to go
pell NELL down the river as soon as the
ice cleared away, when the police re-
allied danger and the likelihood OF Sc
rious collisions, and took charge of the
flat and permitted only hundred
boats to leave each day.
Thousands of people are making
voyages who never handled an oar and
are wholly inexperienced. The au-
thorities apprehend the loss of many
lives. Every conceivable kind of craft
has been constructed and utilized, and
it will be miracle indeed if hundreds
do not lose their lives in the icy wat
ers of the Yukon.
Already at Lake Bennett in the last
week five persons have lost their lives.
The authorities estimate that not less
than 5000 tons of goods, of which
one half is probrbly breadstuffs, have
passed the customs houses on the sum-
nit of Chilkoot and White Pass.
Included in the grand procession Of
gold seekers are hundreds of pioneer
miners from California and other west
ern states, and they say this stampede
eclipses the greatest rushes of former
mining eXcitements.-Ledg

Trade Influenced by Tariff.

From 1885 to 1873 this country had
free silver, and for the m Ost part OF
that time a low tariff, and for thirty
years of that time our imports exceed
ed our exports, leaving balance Of
trade against this country of nearly
two billion dollars. In the nineteen
years from 1874 to 1897, most of which
time we had protective tariff and
the gold standard, the balance of trade
in our favor was over two and one
half billion dollars.
The index finger of prosperity has
gone up and down with every change
in the tariff as surely as the barometer
indicates changing weather. In 1883
duties in nearly all imports were re-
duced TWEEN ty percent. Our foreign
trade that year amounted to ST ,547, :
2O,3l6, while under the new bill in
1886 it had fallen to nearly three hun
dred and twenty-five million dollars.
In 1889 our foreign trade amounted to
81 ,4S7 ,533,O27, while in 1892, under
the beneficial effects of the Mckinley
bill, it had increased to 81 1857 $3.50, 610.
Under the prospects of reduced
tariff followed Cleveland's election, fol-
lowed by the Wilson free trade law,
our foreign trade gradually fell off to
81, 539, 3OS, 100 in 1895, loss of over
three hundred millions in three years.
Under the Dingley bill in 1897 our
foreign trade had increased from the
figures of 1895 to 1875, 1928, 1868, while
this year, according to figures or past
months, it amounts to 81 ,900,O0O,O00,
with a balance in our favor of six hun
dred millions.
These figures show conclusiyely that
our foreign trade has fallen off with
every reduction of the tariff, and in
creased with every advance of the tar

HEART SORROWS.

Every bosom hath it's sorrows,
Every heart its bitter woe;
Masks they are, instead Of faces,
Which are passing to and fro.
Could we know the weary watchings,
Could we count the silent tears
See the hearts all scared and bleeding,
Toiling on through weary years,
Struggling with oppression, maybe
Striving meath miSfortune's ban,
Smiling, While the soul is starving,
For the sympathy Of man j
Would we not withhold the censure
Trembling on our theughtless lips?
All! we know not of the trials
Which have wrought this dark eclipsei
Hope and faith in God are stranded:
Friendship fades like morning dew;
Wrong and ScOrn have scared and blightec
Hearts that once were brave and true
Sin and poverty, it may be,
Dragged for him life's bitter cup:
But, remember, he's your brother,
Lend hand to help him up
Nor with righteous indignation,
Or Pharisaic pride,
Fold too close thy spotless garments,
Or, pass on the other side.

A German Inventor Conceives Scheme
to Keep You Comfortable in Summer.
The house of the water tubes is the
remarkable building freak of a German
inventor, who claims that he has solved
the problem of q constant temperature
that may be regulated at will, and Incl
dentally secured a structure that COM
bines the elements of strength, comfort
and beauty.
He first put up skeleton of his
house, the frame for walls and floors
being of water tubing, connected with
pumping and boiler system in the
basement. Around this skeleton, says
the New York Journal, he put up his
house in the ordinary way. The tubes
were within the walls and between the
floors and ceilings. In the summer
time this tubing is connected with the
regular wafer supply, and a steady
stream flows through the pipes in the
walls and under the floors, circulating
under pressure, absorbing the heat of
the walls and floors as it flows. Dur
ing the long and severe winter the tub
ing is connected with the boiler. and
water heated to 100 degrees force
through the circuit of pipes. The wa
ter at the outlet is found to have de
creased to 40 degrees, the remaining G.
degrees having been distributed
throughout the house. The sneed Of
the circulation of water can be regu-
lated so as to allow the fixing and main
tenance of a certain temperature
throughout the building.

Bonds for the People.

The new war revenue bill has been
signed by the president, and the secre-
tary of the treasury invites subscrip-
tons from the people of the United
States for 5000, 100000 of the bonds of
the 3 per cent. loan authorized by that
law. Subscriptions will be received
for the period of thirty-two days clos
ing on July 18th. The bonds will be
issued in both coupon and registered
form, the coupons, 500, 500, $500 and
$1,000; and the registered bonds in
the additional denominations of IS 600
and $4,000. They will be dated Aug.
l, 1898, and by their terms will be re-
deemable in coin at the treasury of
the United States after ten years from
the date of their issue and due and
payable Aug. |, 1918
The bonds will bear interest at the
rate OF 3 per cent per annum, payable
quarterly; the interest on the coupon
bonds will be paid by means of cou-
pons to me detached from the bonds as
the interest becomes due and the in
terest on the registered bonds will be
paid by checks drawn on the payees.
and mailed to their addresses.
The law authorizing this issue of
bonds provides that in allotting said
bonds the several subscriptions of in
nividuals shall be first accepted, and
the subscriptions of the lowest
amounts shall be first allotted.
In accordance with that provision
allotments to all individual subscrib-
ers will be made before any bonds will
be allotted to other than individuals.
All individual subscriptions for $500
or less will be allotted in full as they
are received, and such subscriptions
must be paid in full at the time the
subscription is made. If tie total sum
subscribed for in amounts of $500 or
less should exceed 5000, 100000 the
allotments will be made according to
the priority of the receipt of the sub
scriptions.
The law provides that the smallest
subscriptions shall be first allotted and
the allotments be made inversely in
accordance with those of the subscrip-
tions. And the "bloated bond-holder"
won't be in it.
