The Democratic, party has al
ways plead for tariff for rev.

most arrived when the Euro.
pean powers are in shape to re.
talliate and force a just tariff
on the Republicans, 1t may
sound queer but it is ne verthe-
less true, foreigners are prepar'
ing to do for the people of this
country what was done under
the Walker tariff in the tifties.
Bear in mind the Republican
party took that just tariff from
the people under a pledge to
restore it and time and time
and again that party promised
to redeem that pledge mp to
1876 when it threw all pledges
to the four winds and increased
the duties. At present every
thing points to the tariff ques-
tion being the dominent issue
in the next campaign.

A Record Breaker.

One day last week Mr.. Jen-
nings, a member of the Madison,
Mo-, lodge of the Married Men S
League died in that city. The
secretary of the lodge at that
point wrote to headquarters for
the necessary blanks for proof
of death. The papers were sent
to Madison at once and were
properly filled out and ned
to the supreme order. The Off
Gals there examined the docu
ments. found they were properly
made out and the next mail to
Madison carried a draft for
81 900. the iull amount of the
policy. to the party named in
Mr.. Jennings policy as his
beneficiary. That the claim
was paid in five days from the
date of the death of the member
speaks volumes for the League
and shows that it is run on
strictly business principles and
is up.to.date in every respect

Moreover, he insisted upon winning the

that it was impossible for Admiral Popoff
to reach him before the battle was over.
As for the enemy's ships. they were so
badly injured by the fire Of the reckless
Squareoff that it was found impossible to
save them for our own use. and it is more
than suspected that this admiral did not
fight the battle in the uniform prescribed
for such occasions by the rules Of war.
Doctor Samovar. who is immensely inter
ested in the plan 20 reward naval heroes

that the custom of setting yellow dogs to
bark at the veterans OF the army and navy
IS not entirely unknown In the western
hemisphere. In his opinion, the proper Re

FARMING IN ALASKA.
Census Bureau Shows Wealth In
vested in Territory to Be SIS. 6S6.

Washington Aug 16.-The census
bureau today issued report on the
agricultural statistics for Alaska. 1t
shows that Alaska's total farm wealth,
June l. 1900, was S15.6S6, Of which g, I96
was invested in livestock, $3.50 in i'm
plements and machinery and $3.50
represented the value of buildings and
other improvements. Buildings have
been erected on nine Of the twelve
farms in the territory.
Preparing the soil for cultivation has
been the chief item of expense in open
ing up farms. being in some instances
$l20 per acre. The twelve farms have
a total acreage of 159 acres and veget-
ables are the principal product Five
of the farms are only small market
gardens of less than tsEee acres.
The total value of domestic animals
and poultry was 81, 1876. Potatoes and
tUrnips furnished the principal income
from vegetables. Next TO vegetables
grass cut for hay is the most import
ant agricultural product. From the
standpoint of income upon capital in
vested, poultry raising in 1899 was rela-
lively. the most profitable branch of
Alaskan agriculture.
