TO The Farmers OF Wisconsin.

The farmers Of the state Of Wscon-
sin have organized and incorporated
under the laws Of the state to protect
themselves against a loss by hail to
their growing crop, aud against loss
by wind on their buildings, stock and
farm machinery. The assessment for
the past two seasons has been very
low, not exceeding mills. Mr..
VIM. Wetter Of North Lancaster car
ried insurance to the amount of 500.
and his assessment in full for two
seasons past was only ~. O6. A num-
Der Of other farmers in the surround
ing country have been induced to Join
this company and are all well satisfied
with the insurance The company is
known as The Northwestern Farmers

fully:
/. Stand Just out of sight and ash
if there is any mail for "us.n The
postmaster is supposed to know every
son-of-a-gun in the country and all
his wife's relations.
2. If the postmaster is busy and
cannot wait on you the minute you
stick your face up to the window, take
your jackknife and drum on the win
dow 1t makes him nervous and hot
in the collar and everyone knows a
man moves faster when in that con-
dition.
3. Ii he has seven sacks of papers
and couple thousand letters to dis
tribute, stand near the case and in
loud tones wonder if the postmaster
is dead, " and make few witty re-
marks about his stopping to read
postal cards. 1t will establish your
reputation as humorist and keep
the crowd good natured. The only
difficulty with this rule is that it may
cause the p. m. to break blood YES

work.
1. If YOU don't get letter or pa

the postmaster look through all the
boxes in the office and also down cell

and he is paid for looking.
>. If your friends don't write, cuss
the postmaster. He is to blame and
besides it relieves your feelings and
don't hurt him any.
8. If he tells you that YOU haven't
any mail put on a grieyel expression
and remark in loud tones that there
ought to be some and convey the
idea that you think he is hiding your
mail for the exquisite pleasure Of hay

get four others to come with you and
while you are being waited on have
the rest stationed at different points

keys at the same time. Ii there is
anything on earth tire postmaster
dotes on its giggling.

sent, if they are supposed to be still
alive. Persons engaged in interna
transportation, canal men, express
men, railroad men and railway mai
clerks, if they habitually return Il
their homes in the interval of theil
occupations, are to be reported as OF
their families and not where they may
be temporarily staying June L.
Dwelling houses for census purpos-
es is defined as place in which at
the time of the census one or more
persons regularly sleep. 1t need not
be house in the usual sense of the
word but may be a room in factory,
store, office building, loft over a
stable, a canal boat or tent. A
building Ike tenant or apartment
house, if it has only one front door,
counts as one dwelling house, no
matter how many family or persons
live in it. In block of houses, ac-
cording to the instructions for gather
ing the census there are as many
dwelling houses as there are front
doors.
According to the instructions, the
word family" for census purposes
has much wider application than in
ordinary speech, and means group
of individuals who occupy jointly a
dwelling place or part OF one. A per-
son who boards at one house and
lodges at another is to be counted as
a member Of the family where he
lodges. A domestic servant is to be
counted as q member of the family
where she works unless she sleeps
elsewhere. All the occupants and
employees of hotel, if they regularly
sleep there, are counted as a single
family, and the same rule is to be APP
piled to officers and inmates of an in
stitution who live in the institution
building.
As the census family may be much
larger than the natural family, it may
also be mucn smaller, for every in
stance of one person dwelling alone is
to be reported as a family. A clerk
sleeping in store is to be considered
family, and the store his dwelling
place.

FACTS ABOUT q q
3: q THE CENSUS.
Some OF the ArduOuS Duties the
Enumeration Is To Perform.
The ThSK OF MIXING The GREET
COUNT OF UNCLE SIMS SUBJECTS
IND ThKlNG fN INVENTORY OF
THEIR EhRThLy POSSESSIONS Is
SOON TO BE COMMENCED.

The taking of the eleventh census
IS matter of interest to every person
IN the United States for every one will
figure in it. There are some odd and
interesting things in relation to taking
the census and the enumerators will
have their hands full to secure the in
formation needed.
The questions to be asked by the
enumerators are grouped generally
under seven heads, name of head of
household and relationship of other
members of the family, personal de-
scription, nativity, occupation, trade
or profession, education, ownership
OF home. Under the personal descrip-
ton heading, the enumerator is to
learn the color, sex, date of birth,
whether single, married, widowed or
divorced. If the person being enum-
Grated is married, the length of time
he has been marsied must be stated,
and III the case of a married woman
the enumerator must learn how many
children she is the mother of, and
how many of these are living.
June /, the census day, is taken as
the basis Of all information, and two
odd instructions are given in regard
to this. Persons who die after June
|, aud before the time the enumerator
calls are to be enumerated the same
as though still alive, and the children
born during that interval are not to
be counted.
Under the heading OF nativity the
enumerator must learn the birthplace
of each resident Of his district, and
the birthplace Of his or her father and
mother. In certain instances this
quest is to be carried back one gene
ration farther, as in the case of where
one or both of the parents we've born
at sea, the enumerator must learn
the place of birth Of the father of the
parent so born and embody this with
the other information in his report.
In case of foreign born residents,
the.natal country must be learned,
the length Of time the person has
been in the United States, and also
whether or not he has been natural
lied or applied for his first naturali-
cation papers.
In obtaining the statistics in regard
20 trades and profession, the enumera-
tor must learn the number of months
during the past year in which the
person has been employed. In the
cases Of children attending school it
must be so stated, and in the case of
every resident over 10 years of age
the enumerator must find out if he
can read and write in any language
and speak English.
Information is to be obtained as to
whether the head of the family rents
or owns the house in which he lives,
and in the latter case whether it is
mortgaged or free from debt.
Every person within the limits Of
the United States June l, is TO be
enumerated at his usual place of
abode, but the census law furnishes
no definition of the phrase "Usual
place of abode" Seafaring men are
to be reported at the land homes, no
matter how long they have been alb

BEAR LAKE SITUATION,

Things are not of a rosy hue
in Bear Lake county, viewed from
the fusionist standpoint. A COR
respondent informs us that Mrs.
Louisa Cole, formerly one of the
most active and intelligent Demo-
Gratis of that county, has had
enough of Democracy. A short
time ago she received a pressing
letter from Boise urging her to
organize women's Democratic
clubs throughout Bear Lake
county, to which she curtIy re-
piled that she and Democracy had
parted company for good. After
a careful search, says our inform
ant, it has been possible to find
but one Silver Republican in all
the county, namely, 10. McCart.
10. is evidently slayer, and one
cannot help but admire him,
standing there alone at a 6ooo
foot elevation wrapped in mis-
magnificent lonesome. Gus
Sponberg, who is one of the
strong men of Bear Lake and
was the backbone of the Silver
Republican party there, says that
there isn't any Silver Republican
party, county, State or National
any more, consequently, he has
got back with the old folks at
home and is lined up with Nc
Kinley's administration. Here is
the glad hand, Gus. Awfully
glad to have you back with us
again. Now, can't you and Mrs.
Cole call around and labor with
10. McCart a little. 10. is all
right, but he is kind Of "sot" in
his ways some times. Tell him
not to let anybody make monk
ey of him. That is what he used
to tell the other boys.

IMPERIALISM.

1t must be rather discouraging
to the red hot anti-imperialists to
see the men Of Canada and Aus
tralia and New Zealand rushing
to the aid of the mother country.
Those dependencies of the inn
perial throne that are rejoicing
over the victories of the imperial
armies in South Africa, are not
acting like the anti-imperialists
think they ought to act. 1t is
really inexplicable the way those
Canadians cut up. Now, what
they ought to be doing is throw
ing off the British yoke instead
of helping to fasten it ON the
Beers. If imperialism is the
dreadful thing it is pictured, the
Australians ought to be helping
the Beers instead of shooting
them. Just think of Australia,
the home Of the Australian ballot,
the birthplace of equal rights,
sending out regiments to support
imperialism. If our Democratic
friends expect to keep the Amer
ican people in state of fright.
they will need to trot out some
more ghosts, Imperialism wont
even frighten the jays any more.

philippines and Guam, and that
the hall savage peoples Of those
islands have become full f1edged
citizens Of the United States. If
fhey can establish that, then in
me coming campaign you will
fmd : them on the stump pointing
TO the head-hunters of Luzon, and
all the ignorant and fantastic
tribes OF the archipelago, and say
lng' there are the people the Re-
publican party has made our
equals. See those naked sava-
ges with rings in their noses, they
are our fellow citizens. They
will be making speeches in Con-
gress and voting laws for us one
OF these days. That is the Dem
ocratic scheme. 1t is in order to
make the scheme work that they
are raising such roar about the
Puerto Rico tariff. They are
using the tariff laws as an enter
ing wedge. If they can get Con-
gress to say that that part of the
Constitution relating to tariff is by
its own force operative in the Phil
ippines, where are you going to
draw the line? Nowhere, short
of complete citizenship. And
that is what nobody wants, but if
the Democrats can make people
believe that that is the thing
which is bound to happen, why it
will be powerful argument
against expansion and the Re-
publican policy.

MCKINLEY AND IMPERIALISM.

The following speech was re-
Gently made by President Nc
Kinley at meeting of the Ohio
Society. 1t is worthy of careful
reading.
"It has been some years since
l was your guest. Much has
happened in the meantime. We
have had our, blessings and our
burdens and still have both. We
will soon have legislative assur-
ance of the continuance of the
old standard with which we meas
ure our exchange and we have
the open door in the far east
through which to market our
products. We are neither in al
lance nor antagonism nor en-
tanglement with any foreign
power, but on terms of amity and
cordiality with all. We buy from
all of them and sell to all of them
and our sales exceeded our pur-
chases the past two years by over

been increased and mortgages
have been reduced. Interest has
fallen and wages have advanced.
The public debt is decreasing. The
country is well to do. Its people
for the most part are happy and
contented. They have good
times and are on good terms with
the nations Of the world. There
are unfortunately those among us,
few in number l am sure, who
seem to thrive best under bad
times and who, when good times
evertake them in the United
States, feel constrained to put us
on bad terms with the rest of

TARIFFS AND TRUSTS.

To those who seriously and
honestly seek to solve the trust
problem it is we'll known that tar
ifs, protective or otherwise,
have nothing whatever to do
with the rise and development of
such combinations. Combina-
ton is purely tendency of the
times, and it is evident in every
department of business and in
dustry. A notable instance of
this tendency is seen in Austria
at the present time, and certainly
no one who knows anything
about the tariff laws of that coun-
try can attribute the: development
of trusts there to protection.
Within the present year large
combinations have been effected
and for the declared purpose of
increasing prices. Among those
recently reported are the nat
trust, the paper trust, the sugar
trust, the shoe trust and the gas
trust. 1t will be noticed that
those foreign trusts are identical
in name and purpose with those
in this country. Now Austria
has no protective tariff in the
sense that we understand it. The
government there monopollzes
the traffic in cigars and tobacco
and to prevent competition places
upon those articles a prohibitive
tariff. However, there is no pro-
lection given to those products
which have formed the bases OF
of recent trust organizations,
