Tariff Question. Macon, Mo., Sept. 17.—Gen. James B. Weaver of Iowa addressed a large numbers of the Farmers’ Al- liance aad Knights of Labor and other citizens in the court house here this afternoon. The General was enthusiastically received and made a pleasing speech. He told his audience every time they tasted salt, suger, or bought any binder’s ine thew paid tribute to the truste. He stated the gigantic cor- Porations and trusts under existing laws have become so powerful that the goverment was no longer a gove:nment by the people but one of wealth, and ali relief legislation the people needed was checked and choked to,d. ath by the trusts and m nopoiies. He snid the disease of this couuty wax # deep seated one, w ich wis by ha:d for any party to check. He predicted that the mon- opolies and corpurations would easi- iy capture the coming Congress, and did not anticipate any sign of relief from it. He said Cleveland gave this country an honest admin- istration and the last House under him was an honest House, but could do nothing towards reforming the tariff laws because there were always enough Senators interested 1 or controlled by the corporations to prevent any reform in favor of the people, that would affect, direct- ly or indirectly, the interests of the monopolies and trusts of the coun- try. He said even a Greenback House and Senate under the pres- ent manner of electing United States Senators could do nothing. That the Democrats could do nothe ing, and the people put them out and elected Harrison, and the only change the people have witnessed has been in a few post-offices. That last year he saw farmers come into his city carrying a torch shout- ing and in a few days voted for a man and policy that was in favor of taxing them poorer every time they purchased any necessity of life. That the ballot-box was no relief of the poor man, but only a place for them to ratify what the bosses and trusts had fixed up forthem. That the trusts and corporations had a corner on the United States Senate, and the only remedy is for the people to demand a change in the Constitution, so the Senators can be elected directly by the people because the corporations controll- edthe Senate. He predicted that the next session of Congress was going to make things blue in this country, and the battle in the next campaign would be over sec- tionalism. Calitornia Justice.

He had.considerable money during the day and his trousers containing the same were placed under his head wher he went to bed. about 1 o’clock this morning one of the lodgers was awakened by the groans of some one in distress, and, going into Rector’s room, found him upon the floor in an unconscious condition, covered with blood. He has not regained consciousness, and the doctor thinks his recovery doubt+ ful. It is supposed he was awaken- ed by the burglar, who beat him over the head to silence him.

A quarrel ensued and Smith attacked Jones witha large cane, whereupon Jones used his pocketknife upon Smith, making several cuts in the abdomen. Smith cannot survive.

It Procures For Him a Thorough Collegiate Edecation. For a man totally blind, and, more- over, without the advantages which wealth can give, to attempt to obtain acollegiate education would, at first thought, seem to be a well-nigh im- possible task. That it is a rare thing is demonstrated by the fact that. up to the present time, there have been but two blind men who have gradu- ated from any of the American cok leges. The first of these, now dead, graduated some twelve or fifteen years ago from Harvard. The second, Arthur Elmer Hatch, of this city, graduated from Bates College this year. Asan example of a plucky struggle for an education in the -face of almost insurmountable obstacles, the career of young Hatch has rarely been equaled or excelled. He was born of poor parenta, about twenty- seven years ago, in Franklin County, Me. When about two years old he was deprived of his sight by disease. In 1870, at the age of eight years, he was sent to the school for the blind at South Boston. His parents were too poor to accompany him, and, young and helpless as he was, he made the trip alone. He went by boat, and on arrival at Boston he asked a bystander to call a police- man to aid him in getting across the city, and to be certain that he was not being deceived, made the officer lift him up until he could feel of his shield, and thus be certain that it was an officer. He remained at the South Boston institute for ten years, taking a com- mon English course and learning the trade of chair-bottoming. He did not, as most of the pupils did, take a mu- sical course. He left the school and returned home in 1880. Soon after his return, as he expresses it, ‘I con- ceived the idea that a blind man ought to have a college education as much as any one else, and I determined to have one if possible.” In the fall of that year he entered Wilton Academy, of which Prof. I. C. Phillips, a Bates graduate, was principal. Prof. Phillips took much interest in young Hatch and aided him materially in fitting for college. His lessons were learned by the aid of his mother and his fellow- students. His mother read his En- glish studies to him until he had them firmly fixed in his memory, and his Latin and Greek he learned with the assistance of the other boys. When his turn came to recite, instead of reading the text from the book him- self, the teacher would read a passage and he would then translate and give {ts grammatical construction. Geom- etry he mastered by means of a cush- ion upon which he outlined the propo- sitions with pins and twine. Some- times his mother would draw the geo- metrical figures, reversed upon a sheet of paper, and then prick them through so that he could feel the figure in ite proper form upon the back of the paper. He was also aided in the study of geometry by the use of kin- dergarten locks. At the academy he also undertook the study of French and German, as it was still uncer- tain whether he would be able to get through college. His expenses he met by working at his* trade of chair- bottoming, getting work from the New Sharon chair factory in 1884, and after remaining out a year to earn money, entered Bates College in the fall of 1885, with the class of ‘89, with which he graduated. His studies at college were pursued in the same manner as at the fitting school. The expenses of his course he has met himself, chiefly by lecturing upon educational and temperance subjects in different partsof the State. A year ago he issued a volume of original essays and poems, entitled ‘The Pro- gressive Annual,” the sale of which added somewhat to his income. On one of his lecture tours in Northern Maine he met with an adventure which might well have proven disastrous, but from which, with his usual pluck, he extricated himself safely. Travel- ing alone through the woods, he acci- dentally turned off from the main road on to an unused wood road which penetrated for miles into that Maine forest of which it has been said: “The whole State of Massachusetts might be set down in the middle of it and it would take her people a day’s journey to make their way out through the surrounding forest.” Hatch wandered into this woods fora distance of six or seven miles, but finally discovered his error, and after much difficulty succeeded in retracing his steps and getting out into civilization agai _ —Lewiston (Me. ) Cor.

I tried several methods to prevent ants molesting bees and found the fol- lowing far the most satisfactory: By the use of crow bar make a hole in the center of the ant hill down to the bot- tom, which is easily found by the more open or less compact earth Then turn into this hole a gill of bisulphide of carbon, and fill and crowd down with earth. As the liquid is very vol- atile and can not pass out of the now compactly filled hole, it quickly evap- orates and kilis all the ants. If clay be near always use this to crowd into the hole, as it is more impervious than sand, though by firmly pressing with the foot the sand can be made to hold the liquid. Kerosene may be used in- stead of the carbon, but it is far less effective. So, too, of carbolic acid.
