Two year ago, for a war measure, Ibe EoglUb govern ment laid a rather heavy duty on imported grain and flour. The gov ernment wanted more money for the Boer war waa expensive. Inci dents tbla erain (ax served at a protection to English farmer. They want th tax to be made permanent. The farmers and the finance minister had a conference a few days ago at which the agriculturalists presented December and January, when it was feartd that Bibger Hermann might be a candidate for U. 8. Senator and in the way. Senator Carter says : "My understanding is that a dis tinct issue arose between Mr. Her. mann and Secretary Hitchcock, in- volvicg the policy of the General Land Office, as administered by Mr. Hermann. Mr. Hermann took the bioad, liberal Western idea' of the administration of the land laws as tlon shall forthwith be removed from hU office." Tbla law enacted April 23, 1813. At first glance It might seem to be conclusive, but note the language, "office and. In the General Lind Office," This waa construed by all official and not held to the contrary by even tbe department, to tueau that only those employed in the gen eral laud ottiiMt were iucluded in Ibis prohibition. Seventeen year later. In 1890, the 8frretary iuterpreted tbe law t mean that local ' land ufflcers are Included, and since that time uo purchases have bteu allowed. Be fore that varlou local land officers entered land an did Mr. Hermann. Their entries were iuxpecled by tbe Department at Washington, allowed and pa leu is isojed. But, it may be asked, if he was not discharged lor buying laud, for what reaaou waa be disminaed? That waa thirty yoarsago. The four years tenure of office was not firmly esUlilmhed.

Since the democratic candidate for congress from this district is quotiug Iroin the tariff speeches of the late Congressman Tonguo, it is due the dead representative, who in life was ever a staunch and ardunt supporter of the policies espoused by the ilt. Reames told a atory on Mr, Hermann last Saturday which be claimed Is true and happened some republican party, to recall his uttor- jears ago in Rosebuig.

This ex plunation can readily be believed when It Is called to mind that Mr, Hermann, since 1873, made six cam paigns as a canuiuale tor cnngnia and was opposed by the best men in the democratic party, yet this is the first time this matter has t-ver been mentioned. Mr. Henunnu bought the laud and paid for it at a time when the department held that he bad a right lo do so, hence no Indis cretion, much less crime, was com mitted. wa heard to comment on the "still dead" story. "Hule. I beard that back In Iowa." If Mr. Reames still desires to tell the story, be ought to take lessons from Keady, who tella It and live-stock interests. is between the republican and demo cratic parties.
