E D I T O R C I I R O N I C L E : -

A l l o w me space in your paper to say to the fr iends of Bro. H. J. Wilcox t h a t they: mus t fly to his rescue. He s t ruggles in t h e sea of perplexi ty and a l though i t is gain for your humble servant , on Mrs. Wilcox 's account I .don' t wish to see him shaken to the verge of menta l aberat ion. Some years ago h e and I indulged in a wordy set to in~ regard to the financial gain of sheep and cow, he showing the g rea t gain of the former, while I con- tended t h a t the l a t t e r was more bene- ficial for the poor husbandman. I t h i n k i t was general ly understood a t the t ime t h a t I came out second best. So H. J. building on the s t r e n g t h of the tussle collected all the '!fi l thy lucre" a t h i s command and in- vested in sheep, believing as he told me five years ago t h a t under republi- can rule wool would command a " m i g h t y rigger" because of the ,great wall of protect.ion around i~. Now he has shea red his big rio(k, bu t a t 11c. per pound how can the expenses be paid? No ray of hope, for price has fal len under the G. O. P. No chance even to denounce ex-President Cleve- land. We fo r tuna te ly did not share H. J 's . f a i th in the protected marke t and have le t our l i t t l e flock out t o b e sheared on shares. Af ter hard work we found a man to shear them on halves. I saw Bro. Wilcox on Satur- day and asked him why the bottom had fallen out of the wool marke~ under republican rule, and his coun- tenance showed a menta l s t ra in t h a t was dangerous. The demand for but- te r holds strong, wool goes begging, H. J. is non plussed, his smile fades as he looks toward the lloeks on the plains and lie refuses to be comfl~rted.

Now the only th ing t h a t can be done under the circumstaeces is for H. H. Wilson or some o ther good fr iend to g ive tI. J. a Jersey cow and take his sheep away,: making the best disposition of them possible, t h a t we may hear his cheerful laugh and see his b r igh t look as in days of old. He has suffered enough. We believe kindness his due, for his faul t s are of the head and not of the hear t .
