is described as a cheap one and the pro

for some time to improve its looks, as

solution of the twine
PROBLEM.
James Wilson, in the Iowa Fanner
ami Breeder, says:
The pinch into which the Iowa farmers
have got by dependence on foreign coun
tries for twine material is not new,
When the war began we were dependent
upon foreign countries for arms, mum
tions. clothing and cash. The country
chanzed iu policy, and now we make
o m.,n;tmn4 and clothing for land
onerations. The many frequent cuffs,
lately receiving from foreign nations
have set our government to the creation
of a modern navy, Many things have
to bo done, among which is the building
of big guii.i. The nation is setting out
to si'pply itself as the only certain, and
sensible way.
At one time we had many factories in
the West for working up our flax fibers.
This is tht best in 'i trial the world ever
saw for making twine, and our people
naturally went to work building mills to
work it up. The flax straw as it conies
from the threshing machino is not fit for
making fine linen, but it makes excellent
twine.
The building of mills to work up flax
took place in the seyentics. About this
time the Eastern people discovered that
they could bring substitutes for flax
from abroad as ballast cheaper than they
could get our tow from the West. Ho
they sent General Butler to Congress to
get the duty taken off the substitutes for
flax- jute and the like. The duty was
taken off, and every mill in the West
stopped, while jute, sisal, mauilla and
other foreign fibers were introduced
more fully than before and mills built to
work them up. The West protested and
the duty was put back, but the mischief
had been done. Capital, skill and confi
dence vanished.
The farmer had nobody at Washing
ton who understood, sympathized with
or cared for him. Since that time llax
fiber has been burned or used for litter.
Now we arc being further robbed by the
parties that ruined our llax-mill indus
tries. Other manufactures have had am
ple Protection; this one that directly
affects the Western farmer has not.
What supreme nonsense to burn the best
twine-making material the world ever
saw, and scud to Calcutta, Ilussia and
the Phillipine Islands for something to
use in its place. I do not write here on
political economy, protection or free
trade, but I insist that the farmers of the
West should be as fully protected, wher-
pwr it. will do them anv good, as our
i commercial neople should. What a pit
able set we are, any way. ine poncy oi
our nation has built up manufactures by
Protection. It is now setting out to ex
pend hundreds of millions to protect and
nvfturl r.i-.r f.oreimi commerce, but the
farmers bum their flax fiber and send
around the globe for substitutes so as to
help our commerce.
The solution of the question is not i
be compassed by getting sisal or manilla
at 12 cents. That is just twice the actual
cost. Public policy should, after notice,
raise the duty so high on these fibers
that capital could afford to inyest in
machinery to make up flax. Some tell
us the relief lies ia taking off the duty
on foreign fibers. What good would
that do? The duty is not enough to
equal one-fiftieth of the present price of
twine. The relief is independence of
foreign goods and home supply.

Rheumatic Syrup Co,, JavJcson, Mich:
Gents: Your Mr. Brooks came here
toni-rht and registered as agent for Ilib-
bard's Rheumatic Syrup, and as ho did
so it awakened in me an interest neyer
before realized in a guest at my house.
You will not wonder at it when I tell
you the story. For years I have been
greatly afflicted with inflammatory rheu
matism, the pain and soreness of the
joints at times being almost unbearable;
could move about onlv with the aid of
crutches. In addition to this my stomach
became badly diseased, and neuralgia set
in which threatened to end mv day. A
, ..
traveling man stopping with me gave
quite a history of your Syrup, and the
peculiarities of its combination, which
induced me io try it, I have taken six
bottles and no act in my life affords me
greater satisfaction than in writing you
I am a well man.
Jt will be a pleasure for me to answer
any communications, for I believe it to
be the best remedy ever formulated.

A Kentucky Suicide.
Andy Boiling was a bad citizen of Jackson
county, and had killed half a dozen of his
fellow citizens. Ono evening Bollinjr killed
his seventh man in Clover Bottom. The next
day a coroner's jury was impaneled to in
quire into the affair. The testimony was that
the deceased had called Boiling "a liar," and
that Boiling immediately drew his pistol and
Ored, killing the man who had insulted him
at the fir &t shot.
The jury went out to deliberate, and after
a short time returned the following verdict:
"We find that the deceased, Henry Jones,
committed suicide."
The coroner was amazed. "I shall not re
ceive the verdict," he said; Hha testimony
was positive that Andy Boiling did the kill
ing." Ye," replied the foreman, "and the testi
mony wa3 equally positive and unequivocal
that the deceased was of sound mind and in
full possession of all bis faculties juat previ
ous to his death, and that while ia this condi
tion he called Andy Boiling 'a liar.' It stands
to reason that if he had not meditated self
destruction ho would not have been so rash.
He knew what ih& consequences would be.
and ha evidently wanted to die."
So the verdict of sui Jida stood. Louis ilia

COL. ALLISON, THE FAMOUS SCOUT,
TALKS OF THEM.
The Language of tho Tribe Silly Stories
About the Indian Which Have No Foun
dation in Fuct AlliMtn' Experleuee with
Sitting Hull.
In 1S02 a 15-year-old boy named Edward
II. Allison ran away from bis home at Ann
Arlxjr, Mich., and joined the Tenth Ohio
cuvalry at Toledo, lie served throughout
the entire war, ot the close of which he emi
grated to the west, and for twenty-two years
has led the stirring lire or scout and inter
preter among the Sioux Iudiuns, and today
there is no more famous scout in the country
than Col. Edward II. Allison, of Dakota. As
interpreter at the Standing Itock agency he
has been for years in constant, intimate com
munication with the bioux, aud is conse
quently familiar with their virtues, vices and
peculiarities. A broad brimmed white slouch
hat covers his head. The remainder of his
apiarel is the same as that affected by deni
zens of tlio east. Ho is a well educated and
verv intelligent man, which accounts for the
success ho has had as interpreter and com
missioner among the Indians, lie is a pleas
ing converter and a thinker.
BEAUTIES OF TUE SIOUX LANGUAGE.
"Do you speak the Sioux language as well
as you do the English ?" he was asked.
"I speak it much better. I profess to be a
a master of but one language, and that is the
Sioux. I havo spoken moro Sioux than Eng
lish during my life, and as it is much less ex
teusive than tho English language, is much
easier to master. Then I have, I believe, an
analytical knowledge of every word hi the
Sioux tongue, which is more than auy man
can have of tho English language. There is
a very limited knowledge extant of the In
dian language. There aro ono or two men
who have a pretty good idea of it, but most
of those who are supiosed to understand it
have some very wrong impressions regard
ing it."
"How extensive a language is it?"
"There- aro over 22,000 words in the Sioux
tongue, but these are susceptlblo of multipli
cation, so that the total is greatly increased.
The language is a very elastic ono. If you
6peuk iu English of your brother, tho hearer
cannot toll whether it is a younger or an
elder brother, unless a qualifying word is
prefixed. In the Sioux language, however,
a slight variation of a single word tells you
just what kind of a brother is referred to.
For example, the word "mlsun" (pronounced
mee-soon) means a younger brother, while
"miciye" (pronounced mee-shee-yay) means
elder brother. Tho samo rule applies in other
cases. The phonetic system of spelling is
used."
"Aro not tho early interpretations of the
Indian language defective?"
"Extremely so. For example, taka tho
sillv storv about the naming of Sitting BulL
It is said that shortly arter his birth, his
mother saw a bull that had been wounded in
the back sitting on tho ground, and immedi
ately named her son Sitting Bull. That is ab
surd. A bull never sits. The name of the best
known Indian in the United States is not Sit
ting Bull', but Conquering Bulk Among the,
Indians tho bull is regarded as the king f
animals, and they believe ho can kill the
pxizzlv boar.
"Another fallacy is tho term Great Spirit,
which is so frequently put into the mouths
of Indians by writers. The Indian word for
God is "Wa-kan-tan-ka." Wa.kaa meais
mystery, and tan-ka great, and there you
have the great mystery. Anything that is
deformed is wa-kan, or mysterious, and
therefore sacred. Tho Indians are spiritual
ists in religion, but believe that they control
the spirits instead of tho spirits controlling
them.
"It is very amusing to mo to hoar writers
of tho Ned Buntliue sort make Indians talk
of the happy hunting grounds. In the twenty
two years I have been among tho Indians I
never heard them speak of such a place.
Then these legends about Devil's Lake are all
bosh. What does an Indian know about
devils? The name of the lake in Indian is
'Minne-Wa-Kan.' Minna means water and
Wa-Kan n-stery, or 'mysterious water.' It
is probable that some thirsty Indian at some
time stooped down to get a drink, and after
getting a mouthful of the salt water naturally
set it down as somewhat mysterious."
THE TRIBE INCREASING.
"To return to the customs of the Sioux:
we hear a great deal about Indian marrlag?
ceremoniesT There is not now and never has
been such a thing. They simply mate. An
other thing in connection with the Indian
language is that members of different tribes
do not understand each other and use tho
sign language. The Sioux, however, use no
signs when talking among themselves." -
"There is a general impression that the
Indians are gradually dying out as a race,"
"That is wrong set far as tho Sioux ore
concerned. Thero are now 50,000 Sioux in
Minnesota, Dakota and Montana, aud they
are steadily increasing in numbers. They
comprise one-sixth of tho Indians in the
. . . . rr' .t A r 1.
United States, ineyare vuo ypwai nui m
American Indian, the dominant tribe and
the superiors physically and mentally of all
others."
It was Allison who succeeded in bringing
about the surrender of Sitting Bull in Canada,
and brought him and his chiefs into the
acrencv. He proposed to tho government to
bring tho Indians iu when they first left the
reservation, without loss of life, at small
expense. This was declined, and numerous
expeditions were sent out, which resulted in
nothing but largo loss of life and money. In
ISisO Allison, on his own hook, went to Ball's
camp, and returning made a report to the
Government. In October of that year he was
authorised to act as commissioner, and; in six
mon ths had the Indians all in.
Allison was the first scout employed In Da
kota by Custer. Ho asserts that but for the
cowardice of Gen. Reno Custer would be alive
todav.
fiol. Allison also served for five years with
Lieut. Kisliugbury, who perished in the
Greely expedition, and is said to have been
eaten by his crazed and starving companions.
Allison says that Kislingbury was piio pf the
noblest men who lived, as well as ppe of the
bravest. Detroit Free Press.
Land of Romance.
Half the enchantment of Italy is gone when
we lose sight .of tho Mediterranean, says a
correspondent. It is along the shore of that
sapphire sea that ths romance and fhe glanier
