French Butter Losing the English
Market.-From a report recently is
sued by the French government, a re-
markable decline In the expectation
Of French butter to the United King
dom is noticed. The falling OF has
been general with regard to this class
Of exports, but It Is as far as the Eng
lish market Is concerned that the de-
cline has been most marked. The value
Of salt butter sent to the United King
dom in 1890 was f3.040,000, In 1891 1t
fell to s2,320,000, in 1892 to a2,2S0,O 900.
In 1898 to s1,920.O00, in 1894 it rose
to S1,920,000, to fall again in 1895 to
E1.560.000; and in 1896 1t amounted to
E2,360,000. The English market for
fresh butter from France is in a worse
state still. The average value of the
export from 1872 to 1881 was 9154.-
I'll. and from 1882 to 1891 only s115,-
COZ. In 1892 the value decreased to
100000, In 1898 to 934000, In 1894
to s11,2S0, in 1895, to $4,000, and in
1896 it amounted to only f1,920.-Ex.

-'A' - 4ASAhACc, SAIcI COlOQlZd-
ton Agent, Detroit, Mich. Dear Sir
We are pleased to state to you that we
nave found the country in the vicinity
OF Alameda fully up to what you and
Mr.. Keller had represented it to be. II
is, In fact, an ideal location for mixed
farming. The soil is the best we ever
saw, and as the farmers were all busy
at threshing, we had an excellent
chance to see it's productive quality,
which cannot be surpassed anywhere.
The cattle could not be in better con-
dition. We saw two year old steers
equal to three year old raised in most
places, and these, as are all others
about Alameda, were fed on native hay
In winter and herded in summer. AS
we had previous to this visited the
Northwestern States in behalf of
large number of farmers, to locate
suitable land for mixed farming, we
are now in a position to say that the
Alameda district of Western Canada
surpasses them all. The country is
equal to that about Thuringen in Ger
many. We were rather sceptic before
starting, and our intention was to set
tie in spring, il We were suited, but
we have now decided to move at once;
that is, as early this fall as we pos
sibly can. We left Mr.. Riedel at
Alameda and take back his report. and
We will take his family and effects With
us when we go.

The grand jurors OF this county,
court after court, make complaints
about our county poor house, not
about the management, but about
the buildings. We hope the present
grand jury will make more than a
casual investigation of that institution
and recommend sound, practical
plan Of improvement. The superin-
tendent does the best he can with
the means at his command, but If a
plan can be devised to put the institu-
ton beyond the complaints Of grand
jurors, we hope the present body will
discover it, and that tie representa-
tives in the General Assembly will
give the matter their serious atten-
ton. The poor are with US, and
humanity demands they be taken care
of in decent, comfortable manner,
because as a rule, those who unfortu-
nately, are thrown upon the charity
Of the county are unable to do ply
steal labor and they need kind and
wholesome attention; this they can
not get in buildings about to fail

forbids them from interfering with

allowing people to get liquor from

enforced, be a practical temperance

its face shows that it is impractical

ton. The other candidates for Gov
ernor are all for the dispensary ez,

The United States government IN
its desire to acquire more territory
not only stamps out a record OF a cen-
tury, but it is steering the ship of State
headforemost towards the rocks OF
international complications. Already
it is rumored that Germany has been
selected as the leader in this interna-
tional trap set for the United States,
and it is known fact that Germany
is collecting large fleet OF warshlpS
at Manila and the German Admiral Is
in constat communication with the
Spanish gosernor-general. There is q
grave suspicion that Uncle Sam will
be told by the Powers, so far shalt
thou go, but no farther" Oar gov
ernment has not yet taken the Phllll-
pines and may never do 50, although
every indication points to the taking
of the entire group, possibly with an
understanding that England be given
a slice Suppose Spain, before the
capture of the Philippines, should
make treaty with Germany and
Austria, whereby she relinquishes
these possessions to those two Pow
ers, would it not have bad effect on
the results Of Dewey's victory? We
know not, but we DO believe that the
monarchial governments are not
going to sit idly by and leave Spain
at the mercy OF a Republic. It is oul
opinion that whenever the United
States goes to that point which viii
endanger the Spanish crown, Uncle
Sam will come into contact with q
surprise for every King or Emporer
will look to his own crown to keep
his dominions froa. slipping from bis

The Deed IS Done.

"Our capture of Santiago after q
siege OF two weeks will be set down
upon military records as an achieve
ment of extraordinary brilliancy. Gen
eral Shafter, who commanded during
the operations, is probably not par
ticularly able man, and his selection
for such distinguished duty doubt
less produced no little surprise among
his colleagues of the army. Criti-
cisms upon his leadership have been
many and ugly. But they came as a
rule from observers uDfortifed by
knowledge, and not in the business OF
journalism for the health of the nation
and low they are forgotten. The
deed is done, and the victoryis great.
"Two things, of course, reduced
the Spaniards the the state of moral
hopelessness that precedes rurrender.
The first was the irresistible bravery
shown by the American army in their
first assault upon the city on July 2.
The other was the crushing display
of the same qualities by the Ameri-
can navy when Cervera's ships tied
from the harbor.
"All honor and glory to the soldiers
and sailors, of all ranks, to the gener-
ais and admirals, eunners and rifle
men, and all grades intermediate, for
the capture OF Santiago and Cerye-
IA.

exceedingly light punishment. Gen.
Shafter had the power 10 have had
him shot, but that officer With pity
expelled the seeker for notoriety from

back to Cuba, the probability is that
he will be courtmartialed and shot.

The latest dispatches say that
Spain has propounded questions to
President Mckinley, looking to peace.
Spain wants to know, will Uncle Sam
consider peace, and if 50, will he indi-
cate the terms. The war will continue
until terms Of peace have been made
and accepted. General Miles has
landed his troops on Porto Rico, and
that important Spanish possession
will soon be ours.

HE SHOULD BE GRATEFUL.

The Freeman has no personal Ill
will toward Mr.. Thomas, but when
he offers for public Office we deem IT
our duty to place impediments IN his
way.
Candidate Henry R. Thomas should
have great reason for self-congratula-
ton since the Sumter Freeman pub
lished the above. That paper now
says it has no personal i'll will to-
wards Mr.. Thomas, not even after ac-
cusins him of being thief, murderer,
fre-bug and all OF the basest crimes
known to man. Why, if the Freeman
did have any personal i'll will, in order
to show it, would have to assasinate
Thomas in cold blood, for it has done
everything else to him.
We have no disposition to take up
Mr.. Thomas cause, nor are We sup
porting him for reelection, but when
we read the horrible accusations
against Thomas published in the
Freeman, and then for the editor to
disclaim any personal Ill will since
Thomas brother, J. j. Ragin, takes
the editor to task it looks like the
horrible accusations were made re-
gardless of truth and only for the
purpose of deceivirg the people when
Thomas offers for public office to
place impediments in his way. Such
journalism is not calculated to give
strength to the influence of the press.
