Those VINO see great danger to our
country in the formation of the trusts
should also give part Of their atten-
tion to the harm being done by the
labor unions. When President Shaffer
of the Amslgamated Steel Workers
association ordered a strike among
the employees of the great steel trust
he called seventy five thousand men
from their vC1kand before the diff
Guilty can be settled there viii have
been a loss to all concerned of several
hundred thousand dollars. In many
regions the families of the poorer
classes will suffer for the necessaues
of life while the head OF the family is
not at work. These men were not
called out because they were not re-
ceiving fair wages but because the
union wished to force the non union
workers of the company into their
union. The strikers are not deserv-
ing of success and will not be likely to
have the sympathy of the public,
without which they -connot hope to
win.

scarcely graduate one, not to mention
more of his children, when the expense
amounts to from $50 to 500. This
expense would be less if the district
bore the cost of the rent of the opera
house for the purpose, aud less still if
the faculty discouraged much of the
extravaganza atte nding graduation.
The poor boys and girls that can by
the strictest economy be kept in
school long enough to graduate, stop
out of sheer necessity because they
cannot afford'to graduate. This ques-
ton is of good deal of Importance
in connection with free education
and deserves the consideration of the
thoughtful Bennington Reformer.

Great Strike in Steel Trusts Plants.

The conference at Pittsburg between
officials of the Steel Trust and OF the
Amalgamated Steel Workers associa-
ton did not result in an agreement.
There was no trouble in getting to-
gether on wage scale, the Trust be-
ing willing to make some concessions,
but the Amalgamated representatives.
demanded that the Trust sign a scale
that should apply to all the mills Of
the three branches concerned in this
agreement, viz, the American Sheet
Steel, the Steel Hoop and the Ameri-
can Tin Plate companies. Most of the
mills are already union, but some are
not, and the Trust refused to sign
for those that are not. 1t is in effect
an effort by the Amalgamated to
unionize the non union mills. Presi-
dent Shaffer accordingly ordered
strike in all the mills OF these three
companies that are organized. His
order was obeyed to the extent that
nearly every mill was forced to close
Monday, and about $1,000 employees
are out. A strike against the other
branches of the Steel Trust is also
threatened, if the Trust does not
yield. The trust is trying to hold it's
men still at work by advancing their
wages. The anthracite coal mining
is tied up by reason Of a strike of the
firemen engaged in running the sta
tionary engines.

Our Trade for the Past Year.

The statement of the imports and
exports of the United States for the
fiscal year which ended June 80, 1901
has been completed by the treasury
bureau of statistics. t shows that
the total imports OF the year were
$500, ,756, ,533, total exports 81, 49,, ,65G,
544, and the excess OF exports over
imports, S664, ,9O0,O11. The imports
are S27, ,l84, ,651 below those of last year.
and the exports are S93, 173, ,462 above.
The excess Of exports over imports
exceeds that of last year by $40, $685.
113 and is s49, ,467 ,885 greater than the
highest record ever before made, that
of 1898. Under the new relations with
Hawaii and Porto Rico the commerce
with those islands is no longer includ-
ed in the regular statement of foreign
commerce of the United States. Had
they been so included, as has been the
case in former years, the total exports
would have exceeded 81, 500, 600, 600 as
the exports to those Islands during
the year have aggregated about $685.

Just a Word to the TOEnSpeOpl6.

If there is anything you are in
need of and have got to buy, why
not buy at home? The town wheel
is large one and goes hard, but
if every man in town would put his
shoulder to it and push hard, in a
few years there would be a change
for the better. But as it is you
are helping other towns to pay
their taxes, support their Churches,
and build up their Villages, while
your own is going down. 1t may
cost trifie more to buy at home,
but your money is in your own
town helping to build it up and
making your taxes less. AS for
my own business, the more | sell
the cheaper you can get it.

It was highly complimentary to
Consul General Stowe, who recently
rendered his resignation because Of
his inability to live at Cape Town,
| South Africa, on the salary Of the
| Office, So, O0O-for the large merchants
of that city to unite in a petition to
| the department Of state, asking that
Mr.. Stoves resignation be not ac-
cepted, and pledging themselves to
! pay him enough, il addition to his
official salary, to enable him to live as
he should, but Secretary Hay prompt
" informed the signers CT the petition
that this government could not allow
a consular officer to be paid from pri-
vate sources. Congress fixes the con-
sular salaries. It may be remarked
in this connection that the German
consul general at Cape Town receives
$4,000 a year more salary than Mr..
Stowe, for precisely the same class of
work.

Sir Thomas Lipton's Shamrock II

Thomas Upton speaking to a repres-
entative OF the associated press, said
the results Of the trials between the

Injury TO the Crop in Kansas.
F. Q. Coburn, secretary of the board
Of agriculture, does not share in the
general opinion that ruin will come
upon Kansas, as a result Of the pres
ent dry spell. The damage to hay
and corn has been serious, but the
deficiency will be nearly made up by
the great crops Of Kaffir corn ard al
falfa that have been raised. Mr.. Co.
burn states that there are over 600. .OOG,
acres of Kaffir corn and alfalfa in the
state which have not been ma terially
affected by the dry weather. In addi-
tion to this there are 1000, ,00e bushels
Of old corn in the farmers hands.
This OF itself is nearly fourth of the
crop.

Flowers For Judging from the
The Holidays present outlook
Guard Backlund and Sinbad will
have an unusually fine lot of roses
for the holidays, The plants in
the rose house are just coming into
bud and give promise Of thousands
of blossoms before the winter is
over. Roses are a good deal like
human beings, inasmuch that if
they are kept in one place too long
they do not thrive, and, knowing
this, Mr.. Backlund has introduced
a number of new varieties this sea-
son.
The Liberty" large dark red
rose, is one Of the latest species
and is very popular. There are
100 plants of them now coming
into blossom in the greenhouse.
While these flowers are healthy
now, they will do better next year
when they become more Thoroughly
acclimated.
Another red rose of which
there are 100 plants under Sin
bad's care is the "Wooton." These
bid fair to be exceptionally fine.
There are Is ''Meteors,'' the dark
est of roses, coming into blossom
for the holidays.
There are so bushes of Brides.
maids" large pink variety, and
25 ''Belle of Seiberths." a dark
pink.
Among the teas, the beautiful
white ''Kaiserine Augusta Victo-
ria," of which there are so plants
easily lead. This is an enormous
blossom OF great fragrance. An
other fine variety of the same spe.
cies is the Mamie Chetney," 25
bushes of which are now putting
forth buds.

A TRIP WEST.

CIlp W0SC Will TWO SeuIl0u0H
who were taking out some cattle to
start ranch. We were going to
Bismarck, N. D., then south to
Standing Rock Indian agency,
then return again to Bismarck and
load our wagons with freight for
the Black Hills. So on May Goth
we were ready for the road, with
200 head of COWS, six wagons with
three yoke of oxen on each, twelve
saddle horses and nine men.
Everything went smoothly for
ten days, but when we neared VAL
ley City [ was aroused at midnight
by the boss and told to go out and
help hold the cattle. The rain was
coming down in torrents, but we
had to go out and stay out until
morning, for cattle in a strange
place are always uneasy in a
storm. And SO there we sat on
horseback until daylight, when
four of us went in for breakfast
and then back to the saddle until
noon again. After noon the storm
passed and we hitched up and
started.
The country was beautiful. The
level prairie stretched away on all
sides as far as the eye could reach,
reminding one of a great field of
young grain, and the sky was an
inverted bowl of brilliant blue. l
held the honorable position Of
haw buck, or OK driver. To our
surprise, we reached Bismarck
without seeing any Indians, but
after leaving there we saw all we
wanted to.
After leaving the COWS at the
ranch, we commenced to get ready
to make the trip to the Black
Hills and Deadwood, about 300
miles by wagon road. Then the
fun began, for the country west Of
the Missouri river was full of In
dams, and they were all out after
hair. We now joined forces with
several other outfits, so we had in
all thirteen wagons and sixty men.
All the extra men acted as scouts.
When we were about half way be-
tween Fort Yates and Grand river
we met man who said the In
diars were out in force about twen-
ty miles beyond. He was one of
party Of ten who was in too great
a hurry to wait for company
before starting out, and he was the
only one who had escaped the
Indians. He had been out hunt
ing when the attack was made and
had started at once for the fort.
The next morning we saw one
solitary figure on hill, too far off
to distinguish whether it was a.
white or red man. But we found
out before night. About 3 o'clock
in the afternoon. we saw them
coming across the prairie mile
and half away. The wagon-mas-
ter at once gave orders to form
corral that is to form the wagons
in circle with the teams inside.
This is done by turning to the left
until the leading team catches up
with the last wagon. Then we
unhitched the teams and pushed
the wagons close together, thus
forming a protection for man and
beast.
After doing genuine wild west
act, the Indians left for that time.
and we pushed on to the river
three miles away. But we knew
that with night they would come
back, SO we made ready for them.
No fires were allowed, double
guards were set and every man in
the outfit lay with his gun in his
hand. About midnight they came
with rush, but we were ready for
them, up and waiting. From the
time of the first attack until morn
ing it was hot work. We counted

According to Congressman Ed

turned from the Philippines last
week, ladies have no business
teaching school in the Pacific
islands. 1t is not the place for
them. In an interview on the sub
ject, he said:
''The new method of teaching
the natives as adopted by this
government is wrong. Refined,
handsome young ladies from Vas
sar and other colleges, went down
to the Philippines to educate these
natives. They have had to put up
with all kinds of privations and to
eat native food and in some places
their lives have been in danger. [
think this is entirely unnecessary.
In place of these young ladies dis
charged soldiers of educati n who
have become acclimated should be
appointed and the young ladies
should be sent home.''

LYNCHING ENDORSED IN LOUISIANA.
A southern grand jury has en-
dorsed lynch law in its official re-
port. A short time ago negro

lost. When the district court of
Washington parish opened at New
Orleans last week, Judge James
M. Thompson, the presiding Judge,
called the attention of the grand
jury to the Balltown outrage, and
urged it to take action in the mat
ter. He said the good name of the
community had been injured. The
report OF the grand jury was as
follows:
''The men who participated in
the burning were among the best
citizens Of the country, and moth

who are nearest and dearest to
them would move them to under

LIGHT CURES WOUNDS.
The "Medicinische Woche," of
Vienna, publishes an article by a
celebrated Russian surgeon on the
use of the violet electric light as
an anaesthetic for surface opera
tons, such as the sewing Of
wounds. He says that the rays
have also a healing influence on
wounds, burns, sores and skin dis
eases.

General Brooke, commanding

and sentenced to three months
confinement at hard labor and to

The origin of the saying "as
