James J. Hill Tells Why Bread is
Dear.

The demand is greater than the
supply. We have reached the end of
our virgin wheat land; and our yields
are Sinking while our population is
increasing. That is where ConServa-
ton touches us practically; but we
need not worry. Nature is going to
take care of things. Necessity will
punish us and remedy matters in her
own stern way, if we do not mend
our methods. When wheat does not
average so much an acre, it is not
worth raising. Now consider a mo-
ment where this trend of things is
landing us. Do you know how long
it took England to mend her methods
to raise her averages from twelve
and fifteen to twenty-five and thirty
and forty bushels an acre? 1t took
her almost fifty years. In fifty years,
what population will we have to feed?
And we have not even begun to mend
our methods. 1t is the supremely big
question of the day. Shall we act
now, and save ourselves national dis
aster, or wait till necessity compels
us-and then act? Compare agricul-
tural interests to any other national
interests to-day! What were the
total returns from the farms of the
United States last year? $7,0OO,0OO,-
600! Compare that to the returns
from the forests-$l, $50, 600; and our
farm averages are not third of what
they ought to be, of what they could
be made by simple rational methods.
Other countries have trebled and
quadrupled their yield. So could we.

Missouri Teaching Farming.

Now that the teaching of agricul-
ture in the public schools has been
made compulsory in Missouri, the
state is planning how best to make
the subject attractive and interesting
to students, both from the farm and
from the city. Most Of the former
may reasonably be expected to know
the rudiments of the matter and many
of the latter will be so absolutely
ignorant of how the most common
things are grown that it will be diff
cult to outline course of study which
will competently cover both cases.
A splendid start in the work is be-
ing made, however, in the summer
school at Columbia, where a number
of teachers are being taught how to
teach agriculture. The school open
ed June Bird and will continue until
August 3rd with Prof. F. B. Num-
ford giving instruction about animal
feeding, breeding and allied subjects;
Prof. M. F. Miller giving course in
the production of crops and the study
Of soil fertility; and Prof. j. C. Whit
ten teaching about fruits and vegeta-
bles, their raising and uses.
Missouri is a great and rich state
agriculturally. Every year it pro-
duces corn to the approximate value
of $l25, 600, 900, wheat worth $25,-
100000 and oats worth $1,000, 600.
BY teaching agriculture to young and
old it hopes materially to increase
these totals, immense as they already
are. 1t stands in the front rank Of
those.states which believe that agricul-
tural education can hardly begin too
early in life. Farmer and Stockman.

SECRET RANCH OF
DEATH DISCOVERED.
StOne-Lined Tunnel Hides Skele-
tons of Men Slain by George
Mccoy.

0ANOOys
Mariposa, CAL, June.-Guarding
his secret more successfully than the
fiendish Bender family of Kansas,
and with more cunning than the arttul
Mrs. Belle Guinness, of the Indiana
murder farm, George Mccoy, miser
and recluse, conducted a death ranch
near this city for more than half a
century, and not until two years after
his death has the awful secret of the
mans lonely life been revealed. Now
the search for bones has led to
quest for treasure believed to have
been taken from victims and buried
on the ranch as far back as the placer
mining days of the early SOS.
The first suggestion of the old mis-
er's gruesome secret came when
newcomers began excavation about
the old well of the ranch, with view
to reconstructing it, and uncovered a
human skeleton.
Further excavation revealed the
bones of four men. All the skeletons
were doubled up, showing that the
bodies had been buried with the
knees and heads together.
In the house trap door was found
hidden in the floor. 1t led to large
cellar.
A large stone at one side of the Gel
lar wall pulled away, and there stood
revealed the opening of well con-
structed, stone-lined tunnel, A feet
high and about 2 feet wide, leading
to the well, where the skeletons were
found.
One evening in the summer of 1877,
John Wilson, wealthy young ranch
err rode out of Mariposa with large
sum of money in his saddle bags. His
shepherd dog followed. No one ever
saw him or his horse or his dog
again. He took the road leading by
the Mccoy ranch. A Chinese told the
sheriff that he saw Mccoy talking to
Wilson on the road. The Chinese dis
appeared the next day.
A posse charged Mccoy with con-
nection with the disappearance of
Wilson. He denied it. The posse
searched his house and ranch, but to
no avail. They threatened lynching,
but Mccoy gave no sign of weaken
ing, and he was spared. The search
for Wilson continued for years and
was carried on by the Odd Fellows in
all parts of the country.
When the first skeleton was I'M
earthed at the ranch the other day,
the disappearance of Wilson was re-
called at once. The day following the
discovery of the skeletons, a solid
gold band ring with the letter "W"
engraved on the inside, was unearth-
ed. Near by the skeleton of a dog
was found, and the Wilson mystery
had been solved.

congress toward revising the tariff!

made an honester effort at broad and

There are forces this time making
for an honest revision for the greatest
good of the greatest number that will

There is another force that is max.
ing strongly for honest, broad revision.

Problem In Revenue LAW.

The Republicans have, undoubtedly,
a problem on their hands. A seriously
defective new tariff law might cost
them dearly in November of next
year. A deficit in the treasury at that
time, or the receipts running neck and
neck with the expenditures, with a
bond issue looming up, would make
their congressional campaign drag
heavily. The people want a comfort
able balance in the treasury, and as
sociate it with good times and a good
tax law.
On the other hand. successful new
law, bearing not too heavily upon
either producer or consumer yielding
revenue enough easily to pay the gov
ernment's way upon liberal lines of
living, and while keeping up wages
at home, opening up new markets
abroad, should secure another house
to the Republicans. The country does
not like continuous tariff agitation.
Business suffers, and most especially
under a threat of deep cuts in the
schedules leading toward an eXclus-
lively revenue basis. And as Mr..
Bryan and his friends are advocating
a tariff for revenue only, and as they
are the Democratic party, the country
must turn to them if it turns away
from the Republicans next year ex.

Storm in Middle West.

Chicago, Ill.-Belated reports show
that the death and destruction
caused by the terrific storm that
swept over the middle west Thursday
night were more extensive than at
first indicated by the meager tele-

Three men were killed in Chicago by

men, women and children spent yes
terday in strange houses in many SUBJ

stantial houses.
In the path of the storm before it
reached the Great Lakes region, great
destruction of property is reported.
AT least IL persons were killed.
Six persons were killed and Is in
jured at Alton, Mo-, the county seat

stroyed most of the buildings in the
town.
Eleven persons were killed and rs
or 80 hurt IA seriously, by tornado
which destroyed Golden, Mo. The
number of dead may be even greater,
as the reports are not complete. The
entire town, with the exception of one

the inhabitants are without food or
shelter. The population of the place
was about 500.
Reports from northwestern Arkan-
sas say many persons were killed. The

SENATE WITHIN ITS RIGHTS.
Has Power Under the Constitution to
Amend Any Bill for Raising
Revenue.

Noting the general expectation that
the new tariff enactments will be prac-
tically framed in the senate, the Chi
| cago Daily News conceives it to be
an infraction of the constitutional
provision that all bills for raising reve-
nue. must originate in the house. That
paper then delivers itself of the fol-
lowing bitter assertion:
THE explanation of this degrada-
ton of the house to the point where it
crawls humbly at the heels of the SEN
ate even as respects matters of leg
islation in which, under the consti-
tuition, it is supposed to be the superior
body, is found in the words of Cannon
and Cannonism.'
The assertion that the senate by
amending a tariff bill, ever so as to
generally change the character of
its duties, violates the exclusive priv
ilege of the house to originate such
bills. has very slight foundation In
the constitutional provision the right
of the senate TO propose or concur
with amendments" is as clearly
stated as the right of the house to
originate the measure. The house
has control of the subject in the
power to refuse to originate. When
it has originated a bill it stands on
equal terms with the senate as to
the acceptance or rejection of amend
ments.
1t is true that in the final issue on
this as on other IaoicIat atfop tho bouca
has frequently shown less stamina
in standing up for it's views than the
senate Cannon and Cannonism may
be fairly chargeable with several un-
edlfylng features of congressional
politics, but this one is not easily
traceable to that source. 1t is rather
due to more distinct usurpation by
the senate, through the perversion
of the advice and consent" clause
so as to practically lodge the appoint
ing power in the hands of individual
senator's. 1t is the dispensation of
patronage by senators that makes
many members of the house subject
to the directions of the senators
from their states. When there is
an important test of strength be-
tween the two bodies this makes the
house prone to yield Yet if the
house ever gets enough in earnest to
assert its power by Withholding ap-
preparation bills until its wishes
are met, it can bring both the senate
and administration to its feet.-Pitts-
burg Dispatch.

Can Serve Country and Party.

The Republican leaders in the SEN
the people, the party and themselves
by shifting the incidence of tariff taxa
ton from necessaries to luxuries,
from weak shoulders to strong, and
by insisting on broad, scientific re-
vision on the labor cost differential
principle-such a revision, in short,
as an expert tariff commission would
provide a basis for. We predict that
the public is in for an agreeable sur
prise in the trend and spirit of the
Aldrich substitute tariff bill.
