It follows, of course, thBt, practically, all anthracite coal Is dutiable at the rate Btated. It is very neat juggle.— Chicago Chronicle. The edict has been eent forth that the tariff must be let alone, and that the Bepublican party will defend the Dingley bill against all comers. There can no longer be any doubt. No one will now with the Bepublican party believing that that party stands 'h« f'"6* Alttougb the organ, and ex-PoBtmaBter General Smith's own paper, trying to get into the tariff revision band wagon, which it thought would head the procession, has sald that the declaration of the Iowa platform represented the progress ive element of the party, and although the Bepublican organs throughout the country echoed the same sentiment, the Baltimore American going so far us to brand the present tariff for trusts only, the administration has seen fit to ignore this just demand. It has seen fit to ally itself with the sorces that are op pose to any revision whatever of the tariff. And you_may look the country over and you will see that the trusts are without exception the strongest oppon entsof tariff revision. The president ^appears to be hostile to the trusts. He *seems to want to strike them a blow. He pronounces them a menace to our government. He says he is seeking a remedy for the evils of the trusts. Lie professes to be after them with all of his rough rider determination. But, regrettable as is the necessity, the people will have to ask themselves the question—is he sincere? He cannot be the statesman the peo ple give him credit for being, and be blind to the fact that the tariff fosters trusts. The Iowa farmers see that. Republican conventions have declared that the tariff fosters trusts aud shel ters monopoly. Until the president admits these facts, facts enunciated by his party, he will have to see his mo tives questioned. The leaders refuse the direct remedy, the effective remedy, and pretend to be looking for something else. They can not in doing so, escape the Imputation, the juBt Imputation, that they are put ting up a game of bluff in which the people are the victims. Tariff revision Is absolutely the first step In the fight againBt the trusts. That party which ignores it dallies with the trusts it pretends to fight, and all of Its talk is mere buncombe.—Clin ton Advertiser. The coal barons defend themselves behind two allegations. The first is that the miners insist upon getting as high wages for their helpers, who are lesB competent, as for themselves. The second is that the leaders take advan tage of the ignorance of imported min ers who do not understand EngliBh and incite them to lawlessness, leaving them to bear the odium and take the legal penalties. As to the first of these pretexts it is enough to reply that the remedy lies with the employers. They can dismiss the incompetent, As to the second, it the barons themselves who imported the ignorant labor. If its ignorance proveB embarrassing in a criBiB they they have only themselves to thank. The men most ignorant of American ideas although familiar with the lan guage of the country, are the coal barons themselveB. They are eager to subject millions of their defenseless fellow countrymen, the poor, the sick, to serious and, in many cases, to fatal perils rather than I'bonsent to let their quarrel with the miners go to ma arbitration council where they could be fully and fairly beard. Ignorance is sometimes a less crime than gieed.—Chicago Chronicle. 1 :0&^ JL St 1 See the coal. Where bae the coal been Has the coal been in the coal bin?

In answer to an assertion that an thracite coal is on the free list, The Chronicle would Bay: "Yes, it is. In paragraph 523. of the Dingley act fiee list we read: "Coal, anthracite, not specially provided for in this act." But when we come to inquire what "coal, anthracite," is not specially pro vided for we light upon the following in paragraph 415 in the "sundries" schedule: "Goal, bituminous, and all coalB containing less than 92 per cent of Qxed carbon, and shale, 67 cents per ton of 28 bUBhels, 80 pounds to the bushel."

Marshalltowr, Oct. 1.—W. b. Stacy.a farmer residing near this city, has at tempted an experiment in the growing of corn with what he claims to be re markable results. The corn was planted last May after being treated to an elec tric bath at the electric light plant In this city. The modus operandi was as follows: He filled a barrel of corn and water, placing a piece of zinc at the bottom and then one at the top. Then 500 volts of electricty were turned into the contents and continued for twenty minutes. After the corn waB thorough ly dried it was planted with a drill, clover 1B second only to blue grass. We believe the largest profits will be secured and the least risk incurred in this way. Under no cir cumstances, and especially in the north ern sections, should it be pastured so closely BB to leave the ground bare. Keeping this clearly in view, farmers can deal with this crop as circumstances require. It iB frequently possible to get from one to two bushels of seed In fav orable seasons from spring sown clover. We Would much prefer pasturing, as after the stalk had produced seed, ful filled its mission so to speak, it is likely to die. For this reason eastern farm ers clip It so as to prevent seeding and thus make the stand the next year more sure. It is not possible to give advice for each particular section. All we can do Is to poiut out the general principles which should govern and leave the farmers to use their own best judgment.—Wallaces' Farmer. Random Notes. Salt should always be accessible. Do not change the feed suddenly. Clean and thoroughly air the stable before milking. Do not allow dogs, cats or loafers to be around at milking time. The big milker is usually a sensitive, "high strung" piece of machinery. If she kicks, don't meet it with blows un less you wish to spoil her. Have you arranged to keep your cows comfortable next winter? Feed IB cost ly fuel, but it will be burned to keep the cows warm If they are kept in cold stable. A cow is different from a child In that she can never be spoiled by too much petting. Speak softly, milk gent ly, and she becomes at once your profit able friend. A good way to increase the value of your dairy is to persuade your carelesB neighbor to do better. In order to ac complish this Induce ,him to subscribe for a good dairy paper.

Afterward you go out, as I did that morning with the commission er, and see under the very zenith, where tfce low gray sky is caught up, the square of ibe dark red crenellate4 walls of the old royal city, three miles each way, and outside the walls the parallel clear moat thinking back at the sky, and then you are sure that over and above the government of In dia some spirit is In possession here, some spirit that bends in affection over thirteen acres being used for the ex periment.

Fall Management of Clover Fields. We are having quite a number of letters of late from farmers who have not had much experience with clover but have secured a fine stand this year, asking whether they had better mow it and make it Into hay or whether it Is safe to paBture it. The reply, of conrse, must depend on circumstances. As we have Bown this clover for the purpose of getting a crop next year, we would not do anything that would injure the stand. It 1B quite safe to pasture the spring sown clover in the fall provided it 1B not pastured too closely. Enough should be left on the ground to protect the roots and cstch the winter Bnows, and the farther north the locality and the more wind swept the country is the more Important it is to secure this -fall covering.

JAPANESE JOTTINGS. Chrysanthemums served as a salad are a favorite artlclo of diet among the Japanese. At a Japanese banquet it Is con sidered a compliment to exchauge cups with a friend. Japanese cooks are the most cruel in the world. They cut every atom of flesh off a living fish piecemeal with out first causing death. The lower class of the Japanese em ploy hardly any other material than paper for their clothing. Where wages are exceedingly low, cloth is an im possible extravagance. Every hotel In Japan has a fan, spe cial to itself, containing a view of the hotel and a blessing from the writ ings of Confucius. One of these is al ways given to the departing guest. Many Japanese women arc under going tho slight surgical operation nec essary to straighten the slant of the eyelid, which distinguishes them so unmistakably from Caucasian women. The Japanese eat more tlsli tlian any other people in the world. With them meat eating Is a foreign Innovation, confined to the rich, or, rather, to thou rich people who prefer It to the na tional diet THE FEMININE MINE jr But a woman's mental processes are uot those of a man. Her mental ma chinery is geared differently. You hear what she tells you. You can make in ferences from it. They will be wroug because you do uot know how she came to say what she did you do uot have the clew. Try to guess what she will say next, and you will llnd that you are all at sea. The uiau who says that he under stands woman is himself a woman. No man can understand a woman. lie may lovo her. There may exist be' tween his soul and hers that inde finable and celestial sympathy which is the sweetest thing on earth, but he does not understand bcr. Her mental operation, her ways of thought, her point of view, will always be as inscrutable to him as the mental processes of an angel Whether wom en understand each other is not quite certaiu. A greater part of the delight that men ilud lu the companionship of women arises from their inscrutability. You cannot measure or exhaust them. Their charming inconsequence, as It seems to you, will never cease to puzzle you, and every fresh conversa tion reveals a novelty of attitude or opinion. SHREWD VICTOR HUGO. The Quiet Way In Wlileli lie Bnllleil the Theatrical MauaKcrH. •ere aro the methods which Dumas the elder and Victor Hugo employed when they had a new play to offer to the theater. Dumas would write to the director of the Porto St. Martin: My Dear Friend—I shall bring you on Monday & play lti Ave acts. I shall need Mile.' Georges. Mme. Dorval, Bocago, Lookroy, Provost and five new scenes. This extravagance would alarm the director, who would put off the produc tion of the play till better days. Then Victor Hugo would appear and shyly draw a manuscript out of his pocket. He would agriss to everything. The stock company would play his ilSSpil $ piece admirably, since all no wanted was a good ensemble no new decora tions would be needed nor any change at all. So the piece would be read, aud as the roles were distributed Hugo would say musingly, "Dlc-u, how fine Freder ick would be in that part!" "That is true," Ilorel would murmur, and a few daj*s after he would announce that Frederick was engaged. Hugo would then remonstrate that this destroyed the equipose of the cast and Raucourt, Laferriere and Mile. Georges would bo engaged. Then Hugo wotild attack the stage setting. Old scenes, that the pub lic had lirnl of, were almost an insult to these great artists. If Ilorel showed reluctance at this, Hugo would threat en to withdraw Ills piece. And so the game would go ou, till, little by little, Hugo had obtained everything he wanted, even to changing the paper hangings in the stage boxes.

In one of his books Max O'Rell, the witty Frenchman, gives the following advice: "If you are bald, never make love to a woman taller than you. Looked at from below, you are all right. "Never let your ladylove see you without a collar no—not even the very wife of your bosom. A man's head without a collar is like a bouquet without a holder. "Never marry a woman richer than you, one taller than you, or one older than you. Be always gently superior to your wife in fortune, in size and in age, so that in every possible way she may appeal to you for help or protec* tion, cither, through your purse, your strength or your experience in life. Marry her at an age that will always enable you to play with her all the different characteristic parts of a hus band—a chum, a lover, an adviser, a protector and just a tiuy suspicion of a father." it. iue Men Think They Fathom bat They Are Mlstukeu.

Stories of London Weather, The Manchester Guardian tells a good story of the weather. The scene was a Strand omnibus. A leaden sky was overhead, the rain poured down uncompromisingly, mud was under foot. A red capped Parsee, who had been sitting near the dripping driver, got down as the conductor came up. "What sort o' chap Is that?" asked tho driver. "Don't yer know that?" answered tho conductor. "Why, that's one o' them Indians that worship the sunt" "Worships the sun?" said the shivering driver. "I suppose 'e's come over 'ere to 'ave a rest!" This recalls the reply given on one occasion by an eastern potentate to Queen Victoria, who asked him wheth er his people did not worship the sun.
