The Ice Trusts and Tariff.

The effect of the Tariff in building
up trusts is painfully and severely OBJ
vious In the case OF the Tammany ice
trust of New York City and way sta
tlons. While the native ice of Cuba,
the Philippines and Porto Rico is al
lowed to rot under the trees from
which it drops when ripe, and cannot
be profitably exported to this country,
owing to the Tariff, the home combi-
nation between Tammany promoters
and few Maine men, who grow the
Americeuarticle, is enabled to put up
prices, and export in single season
fortunes for its officials, wrung from
the people who must have ice at any
price or 60 without Were the native
ice of the tropics allowed to flow in
an unrestricted flood into this country
from our new possessions, Mayor Van
Wyck would be unable to bulldoze
the public any longer and even Mr..
Bryan might now and then get five
cent chunk to wear in his hat. This
terrible Tariff must come down.

the town has let such work out on con-

to SO cents per rod for single ditch,
while with the grader we have two
bitches instead of one. Figuring it
up as compared with the old way
makes the work the grader does equal
to $l28.OO per day. We believe if all

grader, many farmers would not have
to be buying horses all the time. Try

Convention, estlt
At Ada.

The convention was held May 22nd
and 23rd.
Monday evening the 21st. the dele

were met by the reception committee
in such genuine hospitable manner,
that none could but feel at home.
Tuesday morning opened with de-
votionals, the usual order ofbusiness
until three O'Clock in the afternoon,
a memorial service OF fifteen minutes,
in memory OF Mrs. Craig, who had so
recently gone home. Mrs. Wallace,

CLIMATE AND CROP BULLETIN
OF THE WEATHER BUREAU.
U. S. Department Of Agriculture.
Minnesota Section.

Minnesota Section.
For the week ending May %, 1900.
The temperatures during the week
have been seasonable. There were
local rains in many parts of the state,
on different days, most Of them being
on the 23rd, Oath and 25th, but with
very few exceptions they were mere
ly passing showers, which gave only
momentary relief to the. drought,
which is now very serious. From a
little distance it appears that the early
wheat and oats continue healthy and
vigorous, Notwithstanding the dry
weather but it is said by several cor
respondents that close examination
in some localities discloses the fact
that the process of stooling is checked
or entirely stopped, and that in places
the stools already started are drying
up. The late sown grains show the
effect of the drought more than those
which secured a good start under bet
ter conditions early in the season,
Barley is feeling the need Of moisture,
and winter rye is very thin, and it is
heading short. Early sown fax, corn
and potatoes are doing fairly well, but
with stands that are not the best,
Late planted corn is not coming up
we'll, some Of it lying in the dry soil
unsprouted. New ground breaks up
dry and dusty, and fax sown in ii
will not germinate till rain comes.
Pastures are generally poor. Grass
for hay is alta stand dstill, and it isscer.
tain that the hay crop is much short
ened. Strawberries are setting fruit
we'll, but there must be abundant
rain to bring crop. There are some
who still believe that copious rains,
within short time, will insure good
crops of all the grains.

PORTO RIcANS ON u. S. FINANCES.

The following article is from the
Correspondence de Puerto Rico" Of
April 18th, 1900. It is interesting in
that it shows how our new wards sum
up the political differences between
our two great parties on the money
question:
"The fiscal campaign of the Demo
Gratis, or better said, of Mr.. Bryan, for
an enlarged metallic circulation, has
passed to the category of settled ques-
tions. It is dead letter, in view of
the statistics that have just been pub
lished. There is now circulated in the
United States more gold, more silver
and more paper money than at any
epoch in the history of the Union. For
the first time the per capita wealth has
reached $26.12, and for the first time
in the history of the country there is
in circulation the sum of $4,000, ,0O0,- :
600.
''During the last five years the sum
of money in circulation on the first
day of April has been as follows:
April lst, l896............ ST, ,528, ,629, 1853
April 1st, 1897............ 1868, 200, ,645
April 1st, 1898. 1,756,058, ,645
April 1st, 1899............ 1929, ,S46, ,942
April 1st, 190O... 2,021, ,274, 500
"This demonstrates that during the
four years during which the admins
tration has been in the hands Of VIM.
Kinley, the circulating medium of the
United States has increased 1892, ,645-, !,
143, which is % per cent. ~
"The increase in the circulation of
gold has also been enormous. On A
pril /, 1900, ther were $785, ,845,549 in
gold coin and gold certificates, while
in 1896 at the beginning of the Nc
Kinley administration this same circu-
lation was only $4S9, ISL sos, making
an increase of 60 per cent in the four
years.
''The language of figures is most
eloquent, and there: is no remedy ex-
cept to bow to the force of their argu-
ments. -

Man and His Mother-in-Law.

Much has been written about the mother
in-law, nearly all of it in complaining jest. In
all OF the tiippant literature on this subject
there is only one point worthy of consider
alton: that the writers-almost invariably
men-have never tried to veil their insin-
ccrity. This Is a tribute from man. even in
his most playful moods, to the substantial
worth Of his mothcr-in-law.
Just as good Women as there are in the
world become mothers-in-law; but it Is II
fact-so great is a good mothers pride IN
her son-that a sons wife's mother-in-law
too often imagines that her daughtcr-in-
laws husband has not done quite az well in
marriage as he ought to have done. This
kind Of mother-in-law has never been made
a subject OF jest. Her mothcrly weak
ness is respected. On the other side, tho
husbands mother-in-law is usually his
stanchest friend. There is even a story
going around now about a proud mother
in.law who introduced a honeymoon bride
groom as Our husband"
But yesterday THE Sun told a mother
in-law history fresh from the court; it was
no joke. 1t is surprising IN account Of
it's rarity, sad because of its truth, but inn
portant in that il establishes a precedent IN
law to govern the policy Of q son-in-law to
whose hearthstone his mother-in-law at
taches herself without welcome. Another
in-law OF the far eastern region of the Dor
ough OF Brooklyn did all OF the things alb
surdly supposed to be done by the mother
in-law OF humorous fiction, and some other
things besides. The man, worm though he
was, turned-turned her out OF his home.
The wife sided with her mother, quilted
their home, and asked for alimony and
counsel fees pending a suit for separ-
alton.
The DANIEL ofthe Supreme Court, Justice
JENKs, denied the application, dccrceing
that il a man desires 10 rid his house of his
mother.in-law, he may do so without legally
impairing his claim to the society and SER
vice OF his wife.
The stand taken by this stalwart Brook
Ignite, backed as II is by judicial authority,
will doubtless tend to tone down the AFRO.
gance OF such other mothers-in-law as may
be arrogant. In this way it will be gener-
ally useful, and its author deserves reward
for his public spirit. Few men have cause
for summary dealing with their mothers-in-
law; still fewer have courage for ii.

The Portuguese Foreign Minister has con-
frmed the report that Portugal has consented
to the passage Of British troops through the
port OF Beira and over the railroad to Mashona-
land. BY this route troops may be landed IN
British territory 26O miles north ofthe northern
frontier OF the Transvaal. There are natural
difficulties, however. in the way of n direct adj
vance from the north into the Transvaal and IL
is doubtful IL this step is contemplated.
Horses and mules are out OF the question for
transportation purposes along the road which
leads south through Fort Charter and Fort
there Is fatal 20 the horse and all its Kind.
Every attempt TO use them in that region ha.
failed. Oxen fare better. but there are not
oxen enough In Mashonaland to operate tho
transport service on the long line into the
enemy's country.
On the other hand the route to the southwest
from Fort Salisbury to Bulawayo offers a good
road and q railroad at the end Of il, II Ia far
more likely, therefore. that the new British
route into Africa will be utilized to serd troops
to Bulawayo and thence south by rail to thu
western frontier % the Transvaal. north Of thu
point where the Beers have interfered will tho
running OF trains. BY this route troop may
be brought through Portuguese and British
about 10 miles Of Pretoria. which would then
