That has been the case for more than

century of independent existence by

The Babcock talk about razeeing GER
tain excessive tariff taxes is giving
much worry to the republican grabbers
and extremists. They are really afraid
of the tariff issue and they may well
all the robbers and rulers who favor it.
1t seems that certain leading republi-
can members of the congress have been
in Washington for a week or so holding
a very serious pOW-wow over the pro-
posed tariff revision talk. The watchful
correspondent at Washington of the
Charleston News and Courier, tele-
graphed on the 18th:
while none of these distinguished
gentlemen are prepared at this time to
give forth any statements which may
be binding on their action in congress
next winter, it is generally believed that
it will be the policy of the republican
party to put up a grand game of bluff
and dodge direct issue on the tariff
question.
From one who ought to be familiar
with the intents and purposes of the re-
publican party [ learned that the pro-
position to revise the tariff, which will
be brought forward in congress next
winter either by democrats or by re-
publican followers of representative
Babcock, will be met by a counter-pro-
position by the administration forces"
The democrats should press the fight
with intense zeal and pugracity. Car
ry the war into Africa and let the coun
try see they are determined and full of
fight.

There is much good sense, with a
thread of pathos, running through the
resolutions of the colored Methodist
district conference in session near Win

Too much cannot be said in commen-

in the debates Of the societies. His
charge Monday covered about two

1t will be noticed that there is very
great difference in theAycock and Bry-

smaller. A majority Of. say. 2.50o Is
what, in our opinion. we may reason

counties Union, Anson, Scotland and

cock a majority OF 6. .185, and Bryan q
majority of $3.50. In the other eoun-

majority was 1.0s0, while that of Nc

it appears that the counties OF the old

OF the bonds recently issued by the
city. Many of the purchasers Of city
warrants bought them at a consider
able discount, in some cases paying
not much over fifty cents on the dol

in the early nineties. These have
carried interest at Z per cent per an

to 1894, and the last of them that were
issued have carried Z per cent interest
for seven years, or about fifty cents
on the dollar. This interest, with the

rants e purchased, gives the pur-
chasers big interest on their money

GOOD PROFIT IN HORSES.

The jamestown Alert agrees with
the article in a recent issue of the
Tribune, that there is good money in
the raising Of horses. The Alert adds
the following to the testimony of the
Tribune writer:
The growing of wheat in the east
ern part of the state and wherever
done exclusively is causing the farm
ers to put mortgages and even second
mortgages on their land. The raising
CT stock in the central and western
parts of the state and the growing of
mixed crops Of grain Of all kinds, such
as corn and feed stuffs, is clearing the
way for the farmers to get free from
debt and to become Independent of the
loss Of a wheat crop Or two.
"The native grasses of Month Dakota
are the states most profitable re-
source when transformed into meat
and into horseflesh. In past years
the average horse has been so low in
price that it has not been deemed prof
table to raise them and many breed
r have gone out of business. But
while there has been and is money in
raising cattle and sheep from our
cheap and nutritious grasses, it is now
and has been known that at the pres
emit prices and under the changed con-
d1tions there is even more money in
raising the right kind of horses. The
horse is now and will likely remain
for a long time n of the most profit
able products of the farm and the less
care required to raise colts to mature
animals, will in some respects give
them a preference over cattle and
sheep.
"A few weeks ago a St1rtsman
county rancher made a sale of ranch
property and stock near Crystal
Springs to the amount of $11, 600 and
of this sum, which was cash, there
We're over SIS, 1000 paid for horses. Three
years ago the man had only a small
ranch property, such as nearly any
n can take under the United States
land laws, and about 5000 which he
invested in a good draft stallion and
a number OF cheap western mares.
The profits have been so apparent that
Iowa parties have paid a good price
for the ranch and stock and the
rancher has more money than he ever
had in his life. The horses have
practically raised themselves as the
actual cost has been, over the invest
ment, little more than the herding."
