Give protection to American cot ton. It is much entitled to it as sugar, rice, hops, wool aod hide. The Irith Textile Journal, May 15, gives the exports of liuen manufac tures from the United Kingdom to the United States, at 17,584,300 yards for the month of April, as com pared with 6,737,300 yards in April, 1896. TnE New York authorities encour age the small boys to set off their Fourth of July fireworks in the streets instead of back yards. Ex perience proves that it lessens the la bors of the fire department on its busiest day. A Pennsylvania farmer has ap plied the water power on his land to supply his house aod barn with twenty-five electric lights. An electric motor to plow, hoe and replenish the woodpile would lend to keep the boys on the farm. When President McKinley maker a trip on the United States dispatch boat Dolphin be pays the extra table and other expenses out of his own pocket, although be is the Commander-in-chief of the Navy of the United States. The United States Senate started "nobly" bu its work of revising the Diogley tariff and we hope there may be no let up or hindrance in the con tinuation of the good work. Sena tors appreciate the necessity for prompt action. Mr. Bryan says no compromise must be made with "bolters," the fan ciful name be applies to sound money Democrats. The artless Mr. Bryau forgets with singular facility that be is tucked away on the losing side. St. Louis Olobe Democrat. Turkey is said to be negotiating with a British ship-building firm for the reconstruction of its navy and the building of several modern war ships. What the Porte needs is sea men. It has never had the man be hind the gun on the ocean. Charles Darwin must be placed among the strongest advocates of for- eigu missions. After a visit to hea then lands be wrote : "The men who denounce missions forget that human sacrifices, infanticide, bloody wars and cannibalibm disappear with the advent of Christianity." Advocates of short skirts say thaj w women would bave perished at the burning of the Paris bazaar but for the fact that they stumbled on their skirts aod fell iu a helpless mass. Three women who had been through a previous panic raised their skirt and were thus enabled to es cape. Two suits for breach of promise bave been settled by jurie lately in Massachusetts. In one the damages were lata at $10,000, aod tbe award was $2500. In the other, suit was brought for $50,000, and the jury gave $650. The value of a damaced heart apparently depends on the jury. w .1 i-. nntn iue nepuoiican party pledged itself to discriminate by tariff in tavor of imports brought in Amer ican ships it was sincere. We be l: : : .mi ... ncvo it. is ami sincere in this matter. We shall doubt its sincerity, however. if the Dingley protective tarifl' bill is adopted without a provision for dis crimination in favor of im iports brought io American ships, Ihe Uulted State, EDgland France and Germany are very nearly on the same ecouomic level; that is to ay io the development of thei industries and in their use of macbin ery and methods. The wsge level of these countries, however, differing so widely, make competition unequal without protective tariffs. Of course this general difference iu wage level does not represent the difference in each industry, some iodustriea hav jug iiwr an vantage iu lower wages io oue country tbao iu another, an therefore, to thoroughly protect the wage earner of tin's country as against wage earner engaged in the same iudustries io European coun tries oo the same economic level, dif ferent rate of protective duties are necessary iu a protective tariff. Hou J. II. Walker, M. C, of Massachu sells. Troffssor Mil son's Opportunity. Free-trader Wilson, who has lately accepted the presidency of Washing ton and Lee University, Virginia, is reported to have said, in reference to his acceptance : "I was influenced, I may say captivated, br the possibil ities of making this institution great center of sound learning and sound citzenship, a power to repro duce in the South gome of that high thinking that made her leadership in past generations so conservative and yet national." We would suggest to Mr. Wilson that the first step toward securing this result should be the acquisition by himself of a more thorough and correct knowledge of his country of its industries, its re sources, its possibilities. That Mr. Wilson doe not uow possess such knowledge is conclusively proven by the provisions of the Wilson bill, ev ery line of which told of grossest ignorance of the couutry's needs or else of total disregard for such needs. The second step which should be tak eu by Mr. Wilson is the cultivation f such a spirit of patriotism that he will prize the praise of his own coun trymen more highly than the plaudits f their British business rivals; such spirit of patriotism that he will not foel most at homo when he sits with is knee under the table of British free traders. We hone, indeed, that Washington and Lee University may e a "center of sound learning and sound citizenship," but befoie that day comes the president of the uni versity must himself be a man of sound learning and sound citizen- hip." To attain this much desired nd, the professor must delve deeply nto the plain principles inculcated through a good protectiou library. American Economist. Harvesting Has Begun In Texas. From Dallas, the metropolis of Northern Texas, comes the news that harvesting has begun. The song of the reaper and the hum of the mower are heard in all the great grain-grow- ng region south and west of the Red River, known geographically as Cen tral and Northern Texas and the Panhandle. The promise is of the argest grain crop in the history of that region. Estimates by conservative observ ers place the wheat yield at 20,000,- 000 to 25,000,000 bushels, worth on the market from $12,000,000 to $15,- 000,000, while tbe oats crop is esti mated to be worth $8,000,000. The dispatch tells of the great demand for labor in the grain and cotton- growing sectioos of the Lone Star Slate. The dispatch adds: "This, together with the million-dollars now being put into builnings in Dallas, has revived hope and trade with everybody." Some crank in the Illinois Legisla ture offered a bill recently making it a misdemeanor to publish an obituary which made the deceased appear to be possessed of greater virtues than his conduct during life would warrant. T . I j I . xu uiuer worm ue wants to connoe post mortem praises to tbe bare facts. If such a law would discourage peo ple from perpetrating the "Dearest Willie, thou has left us" poetry upon tbe public it would seem to be almost worthy of consideration. But the old Latin maxim which admonishes us to "speak only good of the dead,' appears to give pretty general satis faction. A Byron puts it When man dies, unon his tomh in seen Not what he was but what he should have oeen. Aaa mat is about the truth of it. If the average obituary cannot be re garded as a specimen of veracity worthy of imitation in all things, it may be looked upon as an ideal standard of ncht livinn. towards which all men should aiiu, so that no ro.nu that knew them could read their obituary without feeling that it was all true Ihinx'y Spirit. Labor in Eugland is faring well The British Board of trade reports changes in rates of wages during April that affected 53,500 people, of whom 52,500 received iucreascg that averaged 42 ceois per week alter de ductiug the decreases iu the wages of the 1,000 workers whose earnings were lowered. Hurry along tbe tar iff bill and transfer a little of that prosperity to American wage earners. An Arkansas legislator has been fined oue hundred dollars and sen tenced to oue minute iu jail for "shooting at and missing an editor." The gravamen of his ofl'ense, accord ing to Arkansas ideas, is to be found iu the secoud count of the indict meat. A Kanhas paper says that "nu State ths sun shines on in his course from one ocean to the other is more prosperous than Kausas. This state ment should go into the Populist platforms, and be seut to the free sil ver papers to lighten their weight of woe. The (Jrangrcrs Picnic According to previous announcements the members of Forest Grange, No. RiS, P. of II., held their second annual picnic Saturday, June 6, In a beautiful grove near their hall on Cropp Hill, It being a beautiful day, J tint right for a picnic. Patrons and friends began to assemble and until high noon they kept coining, when it was ascertained that there were over ono hundred present. Atlast prep arations were made for dinner, and as ev erybody brought well-filled bankots, the feast was spread, and such a feast, we will leavo the render to Imagine, as it was too bountiful and tempting to describe. To say that it was not a success socially, Intellectually and "8toniachatorily"(this last word means plenty of good things to oat, and extra good appetites to enjoy It) would be anything but the truth. The ehject, or I should say, the objects, of the picnic were : first, to havo a good social time and general public visit, and thus get better acquainted with friends and neighbors our brothers and sisters by the common bond of relationship, agri culture. In this respoct we havo every reason to bollovo we were successful. While the older niombers of our asscm blnge were busy chntting and talking over common interests and enjoying themselves in their own way, the men and women of the near future were mak ing good use of a large awing which they had put up for their own special pleasure. Our second object, and I will name but two, was to have guch speakers present that we might by their aid convince the farmers of this section that there exists to-day certain great public evils, such as extravagant use of public funds, unwise legislation, and to show that farmers themselves are greatly icsponsible for this and to show them how weak and powerless they were to combat, single handed, the great powers that have sprung up that threaten the homes even ot the most industrious tillers of the soil and to show that organization is the only way to combat unfriendly organizations, and last but not least, that the grange, which has been established in every stale In the Lnion, is the best organization that the farmers can possibly join to help them regain the power that has boon stolen from them by those whom their votes had sent to make laws in their In terest in our State. Owing to the absence of the State Lecturer till afternoon, the program was not commenced till 2 p. in., when it was promptly responded to by some very beautiful and appropriate singing, alternating botween addresses delivered by. W. T. Hill, State Lecturer, of Westford, Crawford county, Pa., Kev. Huzza, Farmer I. E. Dean, Tionesta, and Mr. Wbeeloek of Limestcne Grange, Warren county, Pa., after which the ex ercises were adjourned till 8:30 p. m. When we again assembled in the hnll we had the pleasure of listening to a very entertaining and instructive lecture on Pending Legislation, by W. F. Hill, af ter which everybody returned home feci ing that they couldn't bave spent a more profitable and enjoyable time any whore in the country. A Patron. Decoration Day at Hickory. Not since the observance of the first Decoration Day iu our Nation's history was the day so completely dedicated to the. memory of our dead as it was at Hickory on Saturday last. Although the weather wns not encour aKing, yet the people ventured forth with one mind and heart, to do reverence to our Nation's dead, and honor to them selves. Every grave here lays a hero of the past, within the limits of our Post, was suitably decorated and the comotery at Hickory was no mass of beautiful flowers. The Orator of the Day, Rev. J. E. Hil lard, delivered an eloquent address, "the best I ever listened to," said many. Not all knew how tig we are, until they learned trie lact from that address. After dinner nearly three hours were devoted to recitation by the young folks wlilcu rrequoutly brought storms of ap plause. There were about forty that re sponded to the bugle call. These recita tions frequently moved the vast assem bly to tears. How they carried us back to those dreadful days of lSttl-5. Those young people deserve more than a sim ple notice liko this, but where shall we begin to do thorn anything like justice, and then whero shall we end the story due to all. They live to-day enshrined in the memory and heart of overy boy in blue, as well as in every true American citizen. The music, both vocal and instrumen tal, was of the best, but we have more to say for Hickory: None of our young people Indulged In anything that would disgrace themselves or throw ablight over the memories of the day, no danc ing, no horse racing and no ball games were indulged in by them on that day. In this fact our youug friends stand head and shoulders above many other com munities who perhaps desire greater re nown. To those who indulgo in those things on Decoration Day we say take the little town of Hickory for your example and be consistent on that solemn day hereafter. t4 "Last summer while nlteuding court at Utiiontow u," says D.
