"Sine' Ilances In tlie Lonely Cabin
Whore Tito "I'nnls" Are Shut In for
Months hy Iho Snow rlowem from Lor
Ing Letters "Home, Sweet Home."
Imnglno n point In midair nbottt two
miles nbovo Now York city, nnd you
hnvo tho clovntlon nt which over 1,000
miners In Colorado spend tho holiday
season. Thoy nro shut In by enow nnd
Ice, and for months to como they will
know as little about what is going on In
tho busy world as though thoy wcro Bail
ors on somo vessel frozen up for tho win
ter amid tho Icebergs of tho Arctic re
gions. Early In tho fall, beforo tho
snow flies, thoy aro housed In on somo
of tho lofty jx-aks of tho Kocky mount
nlna; nnd not until Mayor June will thoy
again mlnglo witli their follow men.
It is often tho caso that somo 0110 of tho
boys is n good fiddler, nnd Christmas
night ho will rosin tho bow, tune up the
old flddlo.nnd withnltcninto "pards" for
girls the boys will danco and mako
merry.
But thero nro tboso who aro not as for
tunato as tho miners who aro shut up in
tho big mlno for tho winter, Thero nro
tho lonely cabins, far up on tho mountain
sldo, many miles distant from human
habitation, licro thrco or four men nro
snowbound together for tho winter.
-Often thero nro just two "pards," and
"pard" in tho mining camps means al
most tho samo as "comrade" does in tho
army. Their Christinas meal is a frugal
one, and with eager longings their hearts
will reach out from that deep gorge
or lofty peak to eastern homes, and
wonder what tho loved ones thero aro
doing. It is at theso holiday times that
tho prospector and wanderer longs for
tho old associations of homo and tho
dear faces ho has not seen for years.
For montlis they liavo undergone many
hardships and privations, been through
hairbreadth escapes and thrilling adven
tures, and yet in the Christmas time all
the tenderness and love that comes with
thoughts of homo is in their hearts. In
the mining camps of the Ilocky moun
tains I havo heard little groups sing
"Homo Sweet Homo on Christinas ovo.
How each felt itl It was not sung so
much, as it was the melody each felt in
heart as ho thought of home. It was
sung in that dreamy kind of way, show-
ing that tho thoughts of nil were far
away, and eacli one wns thinking as
well as singing, nnd that if a tear did
steal down somo grim visaged face, thero
was nothing unmanly in it, wns there?
I was writing about tho lonely cabin.
Tho scene there is not always one of
merry making at Christmas. Of those
two who dwell there alone, far away
from all contact with tho world gold
hunter ascetics one may bo Blck. If
you could force your way through that
wilderness of snow, lift the latch gentlyi
for it is never bolted, you will find one
nursing and keeping faithful watch by
his sick "pard." It may bo a son watch
ing by tho cot of a father. Why is that
old man braving all theso hardships?
Aye, tbero is the mortgage on tho eastern
homo. If they find tho precious vein by
spring, next Christmas will find that old
home free from debt Mr. Banker, could
you witness such scenes as these, as I
have done, you would tell tho old man
that you would bo a little easy about the
Interest on "that nr mortgige," that has
troubled him so long.
One Christinas I spent up on the
mountain side with two or three others,
and thero wo had our holiday dinner.
and it was a wholesome meal, but want
ing in thoeo delicacies that a mother or
wife can best prepare. A snow storm
was raging along the mountains, but
with our cheerful lire and warm cabin,
we cared nothing for it.
"If we had some flowers for tho wish
table," said one of tho boys.
Wo all wished tho same.
"Get out your old letters," said ono.
Wo all know what that meant, for
many a flower from tho old house finds
Its way In letters to the boys out west
One found a rosebud, another a violet,
another a daisy, and then another rose
was found in a mother's letter. Withered
and faded wcro these tokens from the
old homes, but never did men value
flowers more than wo did that withered
bouquet.
"Can't somo one say grace," said ono
of tho boys.
No one volunteered.
"The closing lines In my mother's let
ter," said a boyish fellow, "might do."
"Bead them," was the response that
camo from ail.
Heads were bowed around that frugal
Christmas board, and tho young man
read:
"God bless you, my son, and God bless
us all."
I then looked up and saw tears on tho

The American Wool Reporter, ono
Lof Iho nbkcl nnd falrost ol tho trndo
journals published in this country, In
nisls that tho deprrsssion In woolon
manufacturing is largely duo to tho
fact that pcrooutano ol duties on wool
en go ds is In many instances loss than
tno percentage ot tlio duty upon wool
itself. As n icncdy for this condition
it favors a chanuo from tho sncoiflo to
ad va'orein duties, atguing that In that
caso thero would lio less danger Irom
undervaluations than now arise from
defcotivo classification under Bpeclfio
nt(H. With a view to ascertain tho
opinion of manufacturers tho editor
Bent out two petitions, ono favoimg
"ad valorem duties,'' and tho other
"free wool." As n result nf this inter
esting inquiry tho Wool Reporter for
iJt'cemuer Bays :
In our issuo of November 23 wo
printed 210 signaturo in favor of freo
wool, nnd 1M in favor of ad valorem
duties, as the speediest method of noti
tying tho individual singncrs as to tho
procrcss which has been ciado with
the petitions. Since that time wo have
received 309 Hmiatuns 111 favor
of freo wool nnd 82 in favor of ad
valorem dutiep. maklnc a total of f2 t
in favor of free wool and 190 in favor
of ad valorem duties The astonishing
tcatnrcs of this great list ol names in
fnvor of reduced duties on wool lio
nut only in tho number but in tho
ahar.ictor of tho sic tiers. It has been
many times asserted that tho only
manufacturers in favor of freo wool
woto a few oflieers of laroo corpora'
tions, tho number of whom did not ox
ceed ten. Our list of signatures shows
that tho rank and file of smaller manu
facturers an as willing to express their
opinions in regard to wool duties as aro
tne great leaders ot tho trade.
Theso p anions are to bo sent to
Congress in January. If that body
which always consults tno protected
interests, and no other, about tariff
charges shall givo hoed to tho ruaior
opinion of wool manufacturers there.
will ho a repeal of tho wool duties. It
is evident that tho manufacturers, who
pay more duty on tho various grades
ol raw wool than is lovied on tho
cloths which are made from tho differ'
cnt qualities of wool, would bo better
oft with ahsnlnto free trado than they
are now. I'lala. J'ecoru.
"IMITATING A DOG."
Several voarB aco whfn Cr.iic; (1r
ooascdl and Ulancliard, owned the vast
amount of mountain land (which be
longs to tlio 1J. & a. II. ii. Vn. now )
they came to tho conclusion that their
land contained coal, for cropiiings of
coal could bo lounu in uillurvnt parts
of tho mountaini. They get to work
to investigate tlio matter, and sent an
old miner by-tho namo of Appleman to
work on tho Blackberry mountain near
Roncli Run, and another party np the
EaBt Branch of Fishinc; Creek under
Andy Latibick. They built a pond
houRO out of boards which thev carried
from New Philadelphia, am) put
cood stovo in it. Andy was appointed
foreman to seo that tho work was exe
cuted according to orders. As he had
a very good working sot of men, who
went on Willi tno woric wnen no was
away tho same as it ho wa9 present,
ho dovotcd a great deal ot his spare
ttmo in his lavonto sport hunting for
deer. Ilia cabin was built right in the
hunting region, and deer were very
pleanty that year. Tho cabin was also
occupied by Abnah Fntz, a great
hunter who joined Andy 111 many
chase after deer. Andy always kept
his lavonto dog Jack at tho cabin.
which ho would use whenever ho
would wound a deer. Jack was very
fleet on foot and soon would overtake
the wounded deer and seiz it by tho
throat or else ktep it at bay until tho
hunters came up anil dispatched it
with a bullet.
Ono very stormy day Andy -and
Abij3h returned to tho cabin, and,
after eating a very hearty supper,
which tho workinginen had prepared,
they, feeling quite tired over thfdr
day's hnnt, retired very eatly. Of
courso Jack had to bo tied in tho
house too; Thero was ouo of the
working men who loved to have some
sport agoing, so ho cautioned all to
feign sleep, and ho would imitato the
growl of a dog. Presently Audy
heard what ho though was his dog,
nnd thinking it too warm for Iho dog
in the house untied him and tied him
outside. It was not Long before Shop
Larish, who was performing tho triok,
gayo a low howl , and Andy jumped
up remarking "fire and tow,1' it was
probably too cold for Jack out doors
and brought him insido again. Shop
kept Andy taking Iub dog out and in
the liouso for several hours until Abijah
told him if ho did not stop ho would
let tho cat out of tho bag. It was
sevoral months beforo Andy knew how
he was fooled.

As tho objects of tho Oraimo bo-
como moro generally understood,
through tho instrumeuta'itics employ 0 1
to disseminate its principles, tho agri

tho importance of orcmizatton, and
aro rallying to tho Grango standard as
tho surest and safest protection from
the encroachments of other orua'dz-

our pcoplu as they aro becoming better
undorstood and utilized. Uudr these
arrangements tbo members of our
Order can socuro their supplies of nn
ohlnery from first hands at groatly re
dueed rates without tho risk of a dollar
or tho intervention of agents or mid
dlemen. Tho Executive Coraiuitto
has been successful in extending th
number of llieeo arrangonionts until
nearly uvery-thing desired in tho horn
or on tho farm can bo purchased direct
at wholesale rates. And all these ad
vantages, tho result of lair and honor
able business arrangements, with re
sponsible dealers, without tlio hives;.
mont of a dollar capital or tho possi
bility of loss on your part. If thi
article purchased is not as represented
it can bu relumed without cost.
Tho dressed beef bill, which you
Committee on Legislation prepared and
had presented to tho legislature at its
last session, i.uleil to became a law
Whilst ynur Committee wero persistent
in urging the merits of tno bill, their
efforts wero unav tiling when ni't by
tho money intlueiice which tho Uattle
syndicato ot tho West throw into tho
btate to create a sentiment against it
aud prevent its pass tge.
Wo aro told that somo of tho courts
in the Western Stales havo decided
agaiift the constitutionality of laws
containing similiar provisions, as inter
feriug with interstate traffic. Wo ca 1
not behevo that tho bill wo presento 1
was 01 such a character, jno fair con
siruction 01 us provisions, by an un-
traium -lied court, could construe it a
an attempt to prevent tho cattle of the
West from boing brought into tho
Stato and sold, only requiriug that thoy
be subjected to such inspection as will
secure to our people pare and healthy
lood.
Wo feel assured that a law embody
ing tho principles of our bill will be
urgently demanded by boards of
health, and will become a necessity to
guard the hoalth of our citizens against
the cupidity of unprincipled corpora
tions and trusts. Having taknn tho
initiative I trust tlio Grango will not
rest content until the measure shall re
ccive the sanction of law.
No State in tho Union is oursed with
such vicious legislation upon tho tax,
ation as Pennsylvania. Tho gross in.
justice of the pri , c' pies upon which it
is based and tht, consequent injustice
iu its operations bag frequently been
presented to tho Stato Grange. At
tho meeting held in this city a year
ago, a bill was unanimously endorsed,
proposwg.as far as possible, to remove
tho existing inequality. The Commit
tee on Legislation took measures to
have it endorted into tho Locisla-
itire early in tlie last session,
mi .... ...
1 no provisions or tno bin wero as
fair and equitable and the necessity foT
reiorm in our revenue laws so general
ly conceded, that tho Lower liouso
passed it almost unanimously.
When it reached tho benalc, it at
onco encountered a relentless and bit
ter opposition. All the adroitness aud
moans that aggregated capital could
devise wcro brought to bear against it
and deleated it, Tho ordinary chan
nels of legislation wore obstructed and
its consideration ballled and delayed,
Tho friends of tho bill relyiutr upon
the justness of tho measure and the
necessity lor its enactment into
law, wero aotivo and vigilant. Our
people petitioned, urgod and demaiie 1
its passage. All was dono that possi
bly could bo to secure a fair consider
ation and hual success. So closel
wero the lines drawn and so persistent
wore its advocates, that it only failed
011 account of sickness and unavoidable
absence of Beveral of its friends an 1
the pei fedity of others who urofenso
friendship for tho mcasuro by a single
VOIG
As an atonement for tlio bad faith
in defeating our Tax Hill nnd smitten
with remorse for turning their back
upon 11, me otqio onis agreed to ere.
ato a commission lo revUo the revenue
laws and our orgiivzition is invited 1
bo represented upon .,aid commission.
mi. i , , ...
Alio inarming aeprtciation 01 on
roil 1 state and corresponding deprecia
tion in 1110 value ot our annual piodut
tions is juHoauso for serious reflection.
Whilst our people aro industrious,
intelligent aud economical, they nr
depressod and discouraged. All
thoughtful persons must admit o'i
olass has Buffered moro seriously thin
any other during tho last deoado.
Tho real cause in our judgment
to bo found 111 our pernicious leuisla
tion. Trusts nnd combines manipulate
our productions anu reap tne reward
justly I elonging to tho farmer. U
just reveuuo laws filch millions of do!
lara Irom our class which should ho
paid by them. Transpoitation com
pauioa extort exorbitant rates lor car
rying our products to market. Tariff
laws prot ot tho manufacturer, whoso
productions we must purulia-e, whil
our productions aro comparatively un
pi oieeii (i, alio wo are cotnpollod to
compete with the cheapest labor In tho
world.
I would rtsp ctfully recommend
that provision l.u niadn for continu
ing tno Committco on Legislation, in
order that what has already been
aco'inpllshed through your rffr r't, bo
not lost, and that still great! r conces
