DON'T BE AN osrRIcn.

We print this morning communica- ton from Yale graduate in which he sets forth in a temperate and reason- able way some views that are undoubt- edly held by many who have not yet displayed either the Voice spirit or the Yale spirit. These views are entitled to consideration. The fact is that there has been little too much ostrich business in this matter. One company of ostriches have stuck their heads in nice clean sand and firmly declined to see anything but nice clean sand. An other company have stuck their heads in dirty dirt and declined to see any thing else. Let us not be ostriches, and let us not initiate the Voice in vocifer- ousness and over- statement, Both Yale and New Haven are pretty good places, as places are in this queer world, but if anybody can show us how to improve them it will pay to give heed. And if in being good we have overlooked some few things that we ought not to have overlooked it is the part of wisdom and true goodness to take another and more seeing look.

THE FARMBRs' IMPORTANCE.

Some may think that the politicians when they are seeking votes exagger- ate the importance of the farmers of the United States, but they don't. The farmers support the politicians, which is a great and useful work. They also feed and clothe the rest of us, which is a necessary work. And they do much to feed and clothe others who are not privileged to live under the banner of the free. How much they do for the latter class is shown by the surprising figures of agricultural ex- ports for the year 1897. These figures show an increase of twenty per cent. over the same class of exports in 1896, and comprise about sixty-six per cent. of the total exports of the year. The gross exports for 1897 amounted to $1,- 032, ,007, ,603, and of this total $6S9, 755, ,193 worth were agricultural products. The greatest increase was in cotton, there being an excess of 76S,52S,564 pounds exported over the previous season. Ot | wheat there was an increase of 20,000,- 900 bushels over 1896. Of Indian corn there was an increase of 75,000,0 900 bush | els. The total value of breadstuffs ex- ported last year was nearly 9S,OoO, ,O00 an increase of s56, oO,OOO over the ex- ports of 1896. Similarly, there was 8 great impetus in the export of cattle horses, beef. hams. butter and cheese Some 10000 more head of cattle were taken out in 1897 than in 1896, and IA, 400 more horses. Fresh beef was exported to the amount of 290, 395, ,93o pounds, ar increase of nearly 66,O00,OOO pounds There was an increase of 75,OOO Oot pounds in the export of bacon, making a total of almost 500, 100000 pounds.
 These are stupendous figures. They
 show that the United States farmer i. quite as big a man as he is said to bt | just before election.

 See here," the piano man shouted; "I'm no whiskey peddler. What do you mean?"
 '"Tha'sall right! Tha'sall right!" said the blacksmith. T ain't sayin' nothin. Just ship me gallon by ex- press" And he winked significantly.
 Wherever the piano man went he was taken to one side and given an or der for any quantity of whiskey from a gallon to a keg.
 When he went to the livery stable to engage a team to take him to the other town the liveryman winked and said:
 Better wait until this afternoon. The man you want is not in this morn- ing"
 T don't want any special man. Any old man will do," answered the other. "No: the man that knows all the places is out" explained the livery man. So, rather than argue and ex- plain he waited until the afternoon. Just before he left he stepped up tc | the hotel desk to pay his bill. "The landlady wants to see you be- I fore you go,'' said the clerk. And he went in search of her. Presently g l door opened and the landlady came in carefully locking the door behind her. There were two other doors, and these she carefully examined, looking out for eavesdroppers, then locked. The piano i man was becoming alarmed. He thought of the Renders and other hor- | rible things.
 The landlady came up to him with an awful and mysterious light in her eyes, and, leaning over, whispered ir his ear:

Wild West show was in Muncle yesteray,
and the full-blooded Indians with the aggre-
cation caused a great commotion at the
show ground just before the afternoon per-
Torrance by attacking young woman, and
giving chase to a young man, who ran as
if his scalp was to be lost. The redskins
look on the photographers camera as an
evil box, and the average Indian believes
that no Indian will live more than forty
days after his picture is taken. Among the
number of kodak artists the grounds ca
ger to get snap shot of the tribe was Miss
Goldie Dunn. The instant she trained her
camera on the party one of them leaped
from the platform, while the others gave a
yell. and in an instant her kodak had been
broken to pieces, while the excited men and
women ran for their lives in all directions,
not knowing what the trouble was. In a
short time Mark Shaffer a young clerk,
trained his camera on one of the red men,
and was chased a distance of two blocks,
but he, proved too fleet-footed for the red
men and escaped.
