A PARTY OF settlers was seeking to

not knowing the country, they were
completely at a loss as to which way
to turn. Darkness came on while this

the darkness came deliverance. There
suddenly rose from the grass In their
midst an unarmed Indian. He pro-
fessed friendship. He said he had crept
in unbeknown to the other Indians,

escape. How could he prove that he
was friend? Not by telling them OF

without the camp. but by showing
them the way OF deliverance. Some
were afraid to trust him. but drawer

followed the Indian through a trail
they never could have found for them
selves and escaped the threatened dan
ger. They knew then that the Indian
who had come TO them that night was

pointing the way Of deliverance. And

w ner came and throw herself at
Jesus feet as He sal at mea in he Phari-

her tears and wiped them with the
hairs of her head and poured fragrant
ointment upon them. He graciously
and tenderly received the devotion OF
the heart that longed for better and

the better life. Sin is an awful thing.
and some of the guests of Matthew
must have realized II as they came into
the presence of the sinless One and
became conscious of the fact that He
was there not TO condemn them. but to
save them. Who would think of call
ing one his friend who had nothing
but condemnation and denunciation for
him because he had done wrong? Who
would feel drawn towards the man
who would pick all the flaws he could
and never in sympathy and love try to
draw from those sins and faults TO
better and purer life? And we would
not feel that Jesus was our Friend il
all He held before us was our sins and
all we heard was condemnation be-
cause we were sinners. No, Jesus does
not declare His friendship in that way.
He shows that He is the sinners Friend

Our reciprocity treaty with Cuba is
being now publicly confessed as the
boomerang it would turn out to be was
predicted by those whose interests were
sacrificed for lis ratification. And this
public confession comes from our official
representative in Cuba, Minister Squiers,
as fully reported in one of our Washing
ton letters in this issue. What humil-
iation for the state craft that kept our
country for couple of years in tur-
moil of excitement in order to force
Congress into concluding that ill framed
instrument. For while under the treaty
our exports into Cuba increased only
three per cent, those from Germany in
creased twenty one per cent? from Eng
land twenty per cent, from Spain sixteen
per cent. and France per cent Truly,
never before was country so grossly de-
ceived as to the effects of a commercial
treaty on its own interests as ours In this
Cuban reciprocity case. The "reciproc-
ity" has turned out all one-sided, that is
in favor of Cuba, while the United States
is left last in the race for Cuba's trade,
although we were baited officially with
with the most glowing promise to be the
first and foremost one. Naturally the
disappointing effect of that treaty are
making us the laughing stock of the
world and we will have to suffer that
humiliation for FIVE long years, as there
is no way to get out of that "gold brick"
before the termination of that treaty
which is to last FIVE years.-U. S. To-

As if our tobacco growers cup of mis-
fortune was not full enough through the
three hail storms that visited them This
season, on Tuesday and Wednesday
nights killing frosts came along, cover
ing, we believe, the entire county, and
adding one more misfortune to the to-
bacco growers burdens. Just how much
tobacco was still standing out it is inn
possible to tell, but whatever there was
was badly nipped by the frost. Those
who had been congratulating themselves
upon having escaped the trials Of the
season were at last caught in way they
little expected, the freeze coming two
weeks or more earlier than the average
time for frosts in this locality We do
not remember that so many serious mis-
fortunes have overtaken our tobacco
growers in any one season during the
past twenty-five years as came upon
them this summer and fall.
Our Marietta correspondent writes to
us that number of buyers are riding
over the country, between that borough
and Mt. Joy, buying up the frost bitten
tobacco. just to what uses it can be
turned is hard to say.

you have one thing the buyers have not,
and that is nice lot of wrapper and

wants, and is only question of time
when he will have it, and maybe at your

LANCASTER New ERA, Sept. 27, 1904.
There was a great decline in the vol
ume of tobacco sold last week. Perhaps
it was the proverbial lull after the storm.
Whatever it may have been, it was great
only a sixth part of what was sold two
weeks ago. The bulk of the goods was
of the 1901 crop, which is more and more
finding it's way into the hands of manu-
facturers and, perhaps, spectators. In
fact, the call for it during the past six
months has been sufficient to carry
very considerable portion of the crop out
of the market. The sales that have been
brought to our attention were 511cs of
the 1901 crop sold by B. Ell. Gonder, and
225cs Of the 1908 crop sold by, Reuben
High; in all, 736cs. For the correspond
ing week of last year the sales were 1911
cases.

With the exception of few laggards
who are always with US, the entire crop
of tobacco is now in the shed. The sea
son has been exceptionally favorable,
and the result is one of the soundest
and best crops that we have ever grown
here. 1t is possible that some tobacco
may have been crowded too much in the
shed, which might result in damage
later. In the northern part of the to-
bacco district some buying of seedleaf
and Dutch has been reported, but no at
tempt at buying has been made in this
vicinity.

With the new crop safely in the sheds
the reports continue to come in of the
fine quality of leaf grown this year. The
acreage has been small but it is believed
by the growers that the crop will com
mand good prices. No buyers are re-
ported as in the field for new goods, but
a few last years crops have been report
ed as having been purchased during the
past week.

The buying of the new crop is pro-
crossing slowly without any of the usual
indications that are present in lively
market. Nearly all sections are being
canvassed by buyers but the amount of
contracts closed is not large. There
seems to be disposition on the part of
may dealers to await developments and
as long as the American Cigar Co. re-
mains out of the field local dealers es-
pecially are content to await until the
pace is set by the trust buyers.
A few sales made by Albion Prairie
growers have come to notice:
Jens Naset, Ia at Sale.
Isaac Bunting, IA at Sale.
Alma Marsden, Ga at 754&1c.
James Craig, ga at Sale.
Hans Lund, Sa at Sale.
Old leaf remaining in growers hands
is being sought after and quite fair
sized movement is under way, especially
in low grades and stripping stock, but
prices continue very low.
The weather for curing the recently
harvested tobacco is favorable and very
little complaint is heard concerning its
condition in the sheds. The early cut is
past all dangers of damage in the curing
sheds.
The shipments out of storage reach
500 cases for the week to all points from
this market.
