This congressional hireling, that's
what he is, proposes to have the
American agriculturist give away a
positive assured benefit that he is re-
ceiving by virtue of his own hard
labor, for misty and very question
able benefit Then he is followed
by that eminent philanthropist, Ed
win f. Atkins Of Boston, urging the
same proposition. Why? Because
he represents the money loaners who,
on hopes of immense profits, put
their money into Cuban plantations
to compete with the farmers of the
west, and now come whining to the
footstool of American legislation for
additional aid. On the 18th inst.
delegation of sugar manufacturers
from Michigan appeared before the
president and protested against the
proposed reduction of the duty on
Cuban sugar. The delegation was
escorted by Representative William
Alden Smith of Michigan. They
presented the president with a
memorial which calls his attention to
the plank in the republican platform
OF 1896 condemning the democratic
administration for not keeping faith
with the sugar interests of the coun-
try and its redemption in the enact
ment of the Dlngley law in July,
1897.
The president stated to the delega-
ton that this country should do
something for Cuba, whereupon Mr..
Smith on behalf of the delegation.
urged that the beet sugar industry
should not bear the brunt of this
country's generosity. They were
willing that something should be
done, but did not want their indus
try destroyed.

toned in this article. The president
remarks that this country must do
something for Cuba. In the name

CUBA AND RECIPROCITY.

Another agricultural industry is
now threatened and will probably
go under to advance the interests of
the rapacious sugar trust, and add
value to the investments of east

A plain statement like the above
in no doubt scurrilous. Past errors
in the line of assessment will no

When the secretary and treasurer of
the American Mining Co. "Limited, +"
speaks Of that famous road, and al
ludes so feelingly to the noble and
philanthropic spirit displayed IN it's
construction, it gives rise to thoughts
that words are feebly adequate to ex-
press. Memories come thick and
fast, and in their train we see Blake
-Eaves, of windy proclivities-and
an eager throng labeled "Erie' y
Iron rails lead down the tortuous
way to the landing on Snake river
Shea engines putting and snorting,
holding back the cars loaded with
the products of the leased mines of
the A. NJ Co. at the landing-the
steamer Mabel tugs at her moorings,
anxious to stem the foaming rapids
everything indicates that the
looked for era of prosperity has
come to stay But the Elusive Wis
ion passes, and all that remains to
show is that the road was sold, and
the A. M. Co had the price and it
yet has the road also-an admirable
stroke of business astuteness but
the least bit foxy.
Mr.. X, remarks that we have a
machine, and we assure him this is
correct statement; and we have

And now as Mr.. Kleinschmldt quotes
from various writers we will cite him
to one from Lowell: ''There is no
good in arguing with the inevitable.
The only argument available with an
east wind is to put on your over

The one thing that hurts "Mr.
Lockwood" is that Mr.. K. did not
get his letter in the Boise Statesman,
where Lockwood would have received
some benefit from the advertising
Kleinschmidt sent his manuscript
there first, but it was rejected as
communication, and Reinhold was
too economical to put up the Rhino

always be sore at the Statesman for
this. Had it called us up by phone,
we would gladly have agreed to
pay the charges for insertion. After
this rebuff Mr.. K. doubtless reflected
and decided to do the product of

being put in print and at the same
time ease himself down by doing so

THE MOUNTAIN LABORED.

IhE MOUNIAlN LABUREU.
An article signed by Mr.. r. N
Kleinschmidt, secretary and treas
urer, etc, OF the American Mining
Co, "Llmited," appeared in the
Welser World of the 18th inst. We
are very explicit, as we wish knowledge
of the communication to have a re-
spectacle degree of publicity in the
circles where it will be most appreci-
ated. AS near as can be ascertained
from the ambiguous nature of the
communication, it refers to an article
that appeared in the SIGNAL some
time In November last. So it seems
that three months of perilous labor
have been endured and the noun
tain has been safely delivered of
mousev'
In recounting the various inter-
views that Mr.. Kleinschmidt had
with Mr.. Lockwood, all seems to be
stated correctly except one specifca-
ton, that where he says: "Mr.
Lockwood remarked that Il suppose
that this will be worth $500 to $4OO
to your company to publish it. ,"
The correct amount mentioned at
that time was $4,000 or $4,000"
but Mr.. Kleinschmidt is not correct
in his statement that he said he
would not pay anything for its pub
LEGATION. He was not asked to pay
any thing, because, candidly, it would
have been a fatal disappointment
and great shock to the editor of
the SIGNAL had Rinehold offered to
pay any amount, therefore we con-
graduate ourselves that he consider
ately suppressed any practical dem
onstration of his well known gener-
osity and eagerness to give compen-
satlon for benefits received from the
work of others-and we might
further remark that his patronage
did not seriously deplete that par
ticular issue. We accept the com
piment paid to cur article, that he
refers to rs on page 4, and classes as
''scurrilous. " Evidently in his
opinion it differs from his contracts
in not being in the least ambiguous.
and in reply to his quotation from
Goldman we simply quote from
Trumball; "No rogue e'er felt the
halter draw, with good opinion of the
law"
Evidently Mr.. X. has been close
reader OF the SIGNAL, as he refers to
articles that appeared several months
ago IN this, the only first-class re-
hgious journal in the state (Terms
50 a year in advance), and this is an
assurance that, if continued, his
final reclamation Is within the
bounds of hope. AS to attacks on
our best friends, the SIGNAL fails to
recall any recriminations on that ac-
count, and our bank account at that
particular time shows no abnormal
increase.
In Mr.. Kleinschmidt's rather far
fetched allusion to the assessor and
tax collector, and the high standing
of the Idaho courts, he probably had
in mind the soft snap the American
Mining Go. Limited, has been enjoy
ing during the past years; that is to
say, paying taxes on an assessed val
uation of $40, 612 on a property
from which the mining company
aforesaid received an income of
s35, 600 a year for two years and in
to this, in the recent law
'uit, expert testimony was given that
placed the value of the company's

Goose With Arrow in Breast.

An EsquimauX arrow of walrus
ivory. found imbedded deep in the
breast of a Canadian gray goose, is on
exhibition in a gun store at Spokane.
The goose was shot few days ago by
John Cochran near Liberty Lake. AS
he picked up the big honker. weigh
in fourteen pounds. he was surprised
to see little piece of ivory sticking
from its breast for two inches.
With difficulty he pulled it out, for
the flesh had grown around the arrow.
Then he saw that it was an arrow
eight inches long and about as thick
as a lead pencil. The carvings on
the stem where it was tied to the ar
row stick are still visible.
No arrow of the sort was ever seen
here before. The bird evidently car
ried it thousands upon thousands of
miles from Tie far north, where it
was shot by some Esquimaux.-Spo-

About Gloves.

In buying gloves there are more i'm
pcrtant considerations than their color
and the number of buttons. Black
gloves are generally less elastic than

The way in which a glove is first

shop. but at leisure draw them on az

When the hands are at all moist.

A Brides Trousseau.

will offer some suggestions for the
trousseau of bride of fairly good cir
cumstances, who expects to enter into
social life. and from this list may
be selected what may suit individual
needs or preferences. The wedding
gown may be of silk. satin or crepe de
Chine, these materials being appro-
pirate al this season. 1t should be high
in the neck. and if made with yoke
OF lace which may be detached it can
be altered afterward for evening enter
tainments. One o. t?o evening dresses
might be desired. ard if one is of
black net or lace it will be very useful.
An evening wrap would be necessary.
A plain, tailor-made cloth gown for
travelling. shopping and street wear:
another gown of handsome cloth for
visiting. luncheons and receptions. A
pretty dress for days at home may be
OF pale-gray cloth. or crepe de Chine

The household linen should also be
supplied by a brides parents. II
there cannot be a very large outlay
there should be at least a certain
amount expended for this purpose. Six
sheets. six pillow and bolster cases,
two pairs of pillow shams and four
spreads should be allowed for each

ored silk or embroidered linen is a
charming possession. Four dozen tow
els would be a moderate supply. Six
table cloths and four or six dozen nap

The medical profession of Iowa Is

having been made IN 1873, % years
ago. The majority of the general hos
pitals have one or more women on
the active or consulting staff.
THE Iowa State medical reporter as
early as 1885 had women on the edi-
