The Farmer in Politics.

Accepting the report of the secrc-
tary of tho treasury as authority, the
Emmetsbarg Democrat shows that
while there are 5,470,0O0 fewer hogs
In the country than in 1894, prices are
lower than in that year. In Septem-
Der, 1891, they ranged from 81 80 to
Sc go; last Monday from 4 20 to 4 IS.
Again, while the number of cattle, ex-
elusive of mich COWS, is 1854, 900
less than nine years ago, the advance
in price is not at all commensurate
with the DECLINE Of stock and the in
crease of population. But while the
farmer is not getting scarcity prices
for hia hogs and cattle, consumers are
paying almost famine prices for pork
and beef. The explanation 1t is
supplied by the packers trust. That
combination controls the market. 1t
compels hog and cattle raisers to ac-
cept what it chooses to give, and for
ces consumers to pay what it demands.

Germans VS. Imperialism

The StaatS-Anzeiger of Des Moines
edited by Col. Joseph Eiboek, says
that while the republican press and
orators are now speaking of 'sour dear
German fellow citizen" s'after the
election it will be the Dutch again,
as usual. However," adds the
Aa,zeiger, "the Germans do not care
much about what the politicians say
OF them. They know what they are
about and they know their duties as
citizens of this republic a great deal
better than any lingo orator from
Mckinley down to GOV, Shaw. It may
be safely stated that at least four
fifths of the COMMUNICATIONS are
opposed to the imperialistic expansion
policy of the republican administration
republican Germans as we'll as demo
cratic Germans. They regard McKin-
ley's policy as subyersive of free insti.
buttons and of civil liberty" Well
they may. Every American citizen,
whatever the land of his nativity,
who understands and holds dear the
principles upon which this republic is
founded, is in thorough accord with
them. 1t is only part of Mckinley Is
offense that he is waging war upon a
weak people who are guilty of nc
wrong save loving liberty. The worst
part of his offense is that in waging
war upon the Filipinos he is waging
il against American institutions, and
falsely in the name of loyalty to the
flag is REASONABLY endeavoring tc
destroy what the flag symbollzes.

have returned. from MnsEoRee,
Where they went 10 attend the hear
ing before the Dawes commission.
Asked regarding the bearing which
the arguments of the tribal attor-
neys would have on the enrolment
OF applicants. they peoh-hoohed the
force OF said arguments MS affect
ing applicants whose claims had
gone TO judgments i'm the courts.
The argument of the tribal at
torneys was to the effect that all
lands in the Choctaw and Chicka-
saw nations are owned jointly by
both tribes, and that being joint
owners they must be sued jointly
in order to make q Judgment valid
against their joint properly. add
that therefore jail applicants who
obtained judgments against the
tribes severally are not entitled to
enrolment because their judgments
bind only one of the joint owners.
Neither gentleman stated any
reason for believing the point not
well taken, but stated that Mr..
Cornish, who sprung the point,
had no faith himself in its validity
and that it was brought out merely
for the sake of argument.
The main questions presented
before the commission in areu
ments for applicants were two:,
first. as to the right of non-citi-
zen who married an Indian and
subsequent to her death had es-
poused a white woman, to be en-
rolled; and second, as to the right
of q non-citizen, originally mar
ried to an Indian under a state
law, but subsequently remarked
under the Indian law. to be en-
rolled.
These propositions were main
tanned by attorneys for applicants
and disputed by the tribal attor-
neys, who i'm the course of their
argument sprung the point first
noted. The commission took the
matter advisement and will rem
der a decision in the near future.
These questions will probably 60

before they are finally settled.
