MlUtl PRICE.
The fn trader eriet "iive hi cheaper
wool, cheaper lead, obwper iron, chemper
agar. You can do it if you remuva the
duties." A kog time ago there were no
dutiee on thoae articles. Many of our
middle-aged men and all our older ones
remember that time. A suit of woolen
eiutbei is not more ooUy now than then;
neither ia lead, nor iron, nor atcei. We
uej on an average twice as much augar
per capita at we did ther, when reBned
amgar waa oonaidered a rare luxury. But
labor ia higher sow than then. The far
mer also gets higher prion for bta chick
na, efcKs potato, butter, cheeaa, milk
and nearly ever)-thiog be producei. Why?
Because there is a market now where
there was none than. The workman in
the pn-tctfd industries, buy the farm
products at noma, paying far better prices
than cnnlJ be obtained from the Euro
pean workmen after freighting to the aea
and across it. This home market of sixty
million intelligent and comparatively lux.
nrions livers, consumes mora manufact
ured products than two hundred millions
of Europeans of the same classes. This
ia the market that the Cobden club of
England wanta thrown open to English
manufacturers. But when this market
is so thrown open the workmen in the
factories will no longer have a market
for their goods. They will be cut out by
cheap labor. They will have either to
migrate or go to farming. The price of
the principU export product, wheat, ia
falling in the market of the world year
by year. They might raise enough of
other products for their own consump
tion. In ltsa than three years we would
fcu when ws were before wo adopted the
tariff system. It would take more than
two times three yean after its re.
adoption to regain what we had lost Ex
periattoe is said to be a good teacher
.Juatory it nid to npeat itself. If that
be true and our memory fails us not the
tariff will probably remain for a time.

The thought occurs to us that while no
Softool teacher is perfect, and while ours
vf Hocho doubtless have their faults like
all other human beings, yet it would be
well for parents to remember that their
children an not perfect. When a child
oomes home from school with a complaint
too parent hears one side of a story. The
natural sympathies of the parent go out
to the child, and a very natural predju-
dioa immediately arises against the
teacher. The parent ia hardly to blame
for a hasty thought that the teacher has
abused the child. That is a part of
human nature. It is one of our defects
of which we cannot divest ourselves.
But the parent ia to blame if, when he
baa tin for reflection, he does not make
a close and impartial investigation, have
a quiet and friendly talk with the teacher
if ho feels aggrieved, and learn the truth
of tha matter. Then if the child is wrong
for every child is many times wrong
give a reproof and reqoire an acknowl
edgement of the fault. It will do him or
her good. If on tha other hand the
teacher has erred, which is very seldom
tha ease, we ehould remember that it is
human to arr, that each of us has made
mistakes, and some perhape vary serious
ones. The teacher has no earthly reason
for wishing to injure your child. She
cannot help having an interest in the
welfan of every pupil. It ia but natural
that ahe should. The parent who loves
his child should not do that child the in
jutioa of sooonraging it against its
teacher; and tha parent who has self-re-spect
and a proper regard for others, will
not maks the heavy burden of a teacher's
its more heavy by continual petty com
plaints.

A committee appointed by the Grand
Jury of Eureka county, reports ss ful-1
lows: I
Your Committee on Public Moral hav !
ing had the matter ondor consideration, !
and after a careful investigation, respect
fully submit ths following report: That
a number of the proprietors of saloons in
our town, contrary to the statutes made
aud provided are permitting youug boys
of the age from 14 to 18 years to visit aud
engage in various games, frequently re
maining until 11 o'clock in the evening
at their establish meats. We feel confi
dent if the proprietors above referred to
would only consider for a moment, they
would see wtut an injustice they are do
ing to these youths, but also to their
parents, and not permit this state of
affairs to exist any longer.
Y e also find that the statute prohibit
ing the giving or selling of cigarettes to
youths uuder the age of 17 years is openly
violated daily in our midst Therefore
your committee would earnestly request
the nhentf of Eureka county, aud all
other officers, to use all due diligence to
preveut all violations of ths statue in
such cases made and provided.
We also recommeud that the District
Attorney, the Sheriff and hia deputies,
pay strict attention to the "400-yard"
law, and also to the "curfew" law, and
see that the law be strictly enforced in
both cases.

The Spokane Falls corrsrpondent of
the Helena (Mont.) Independent give
the followinif particular of the duel at
that place.
The recent terrible tragedy enacted on
the piuturestjue shores of Newman Lake,
au inlaud idieet of water of some extent
between here and the Idaho tine, and
about twenty-four miles from this city,
has been the topic of owaver&atiua in tbis
neighborhood fur several da) a. The cir
cumstances uhicb led up to the triple
lues of life wen brought by the cause
that has beeu prevalent in the great West
ever since land or property has had a
value that of claim-jumping. Mr. Bar
ton Mills of Spokane Fails, a young man
highly respected, with a bride of a year
and a half, daughter of H. N. Muzzy, a
prominent citizen of the city, some three
years ago located a homestead on the land
in dispute. Iu every particular when
an honest intent in the spirit if not in the
letter of the law could Iw made, Mr. Mills
bad endeavored by improving his ranch
to hold bis title good. Laat week, dur
ing a temporary absence from the land,
while visiting his wife in Spokane, two
claim-jumper uamed Audnw and Henry
Clark entered upon his ground and
took possession. L. L. Muzzy, brother-in-law
of Mr. Mills, who was near the
scene, remonstrated with the jumpers.
Their answer was, "If Mills wants the
laud let him rustle in and take it from
us." Mr. Muzzy reported these facts to
Mr. Mills in Spokane. Mr. Mills nixed
his Winchester, saying, "Rustle in it is,'
repaired to his ranch aud immediately
opened fired on the jumpers. I K.
Muzzy followed, and what part he took
in the deadly encounter is not at present
known. The supposition is, however,
that Mr. Mills killed Andnw Clark at
the first shot, then wounded Henry
Clark, who fired at Mr. Mills, putting a
bullet through his heart The jounsr
Clark, Henry, after being twice wound J,
ended his earthly career by blowiug tbe
top of his head off with his own revolver.
It was a duel to the death by three men,
who exhibited the utmost bravery, and
whose life-blood now irrigates the soil
of' a piece of wild land, which Under
Sheriff Duncan of this county informed
our correspondent was not worth the
cartridges wasted in ths deadly affray.
Two widows now mourn the loss of heroic
husbands, whose life should have been
sacrificed in a nobler cause. But there
is a principle underlying all this which
the lax laws of the United States by a
careful revision and more liberal rulings
might remedy. It shows to the outside
world what value is placed upon land in
this portion of Uncle Sam's broad do
main, aud of what material the settlers
of this county an made.
Keceutly Mrs. R. Mothner wanted to
go to the theater. Her husband, who is
engaged in merchandising, had just
banded her S-'-OO. She wanted to put the
money where the burglars could not find
t, so she hid it in the cooking -stove.
Next morning when she finally awoke it
was to learn that here treasure was no
mon. The cook had come early and,
making a hot fire, proceeded with the
task of cooking breakfast. The good
natored husband did nothing the next
day but curse cooks, cooking-stoves.
