Co.. tbe great Chi cago catalog house, wbloh heretofore bun been capitalized at live millions, has suddenly blown out into a great corporation with a capital of forty million dollars. Tbii evidence tneani that It has been turned over to a great Wall street syndicate, and that the concerns which the farmer! of the country have been 10 persistently and determinedly contributing their monev to. under the mistaken iaiprosslou that they were serving their own Interest!, bas sold them out to the very class of nieu whom tbey most bate. it li claimed, though we are free to admit we do not know upon what au thority, that Mr. Sean who, as the Journal baa previously stated, started out only fifteen yean ago with no cap ital, retire! from this new deal with a cash bonus of ten million dollar! and a very considerable block of stock In the new syndicate. All this, ot course represents the money the hon est granger has been pouring into his colters under the delusion that he was getting bia gooda so much cheaper than he could possibly have bought them at borne of the greedy and avar icious home dealer I lint, if be will atop to figure it out, be will And that It would represent the combined profits of a vast army of retail dealer throughout the West, prosperous as a good many of them may be, to equal the enormous swag with wblcb Air, Hears, who bas engineered this Kigali tlo scheme during the past fifteen . years, has been enabled to retire. There la altogether a mistaken no tlon on the part ot the farmer regard' Ing the proilts made by the dealer. ' If ne gets an inkling of the' wholesale price of a plow or drill or a harvester and compares it with the price he pays for it, be concludes immediatel; that the dealer must be 'getting riui as Croesus, and that be, the farmer, is simply digging up bis hard-earned money and throwing it into the puss lug bat of mendicant, lie does not take it into consideration the num erous other facts - in the oase the freight, insuranoe, interest on the in vestment, ilaiilllty ot loss from ills honest customers, rent, clerk hire, taxes, and the dozen other items that the dealer knows about to bis sorrow, Neither does he take into considera tion, when he buys of the catalog house,that he does not have a chauue to see the article before he buys it; that he baa no way, in most cases, of Undtngout whether it is really as rep resented nntll he bas used it for a while and finds it break down or go to pieces on bis bauds, with no opportu ulty for redress, for his money Is 1 ready gone, and gone so far as to be entirely out of reach, lie does not take into oonstdoratiou, either, al though it has been referred to in many local papers and- in practioaly all the trade papers, that the catalog bouse does nothing whatever for his town in the way of taxes or Improvements or donations in time of trouble or stress; that, in other words, it is "all going out and nothing coming in," and be does not stop to think that there Is a day of reckoning coming and "what will he do when the rent comes round?" Iteclproolty is a principle of eco nomics. AJ ooudition in wbloh every thing goes out and nothing comes in oannot last long; and that Is in prac tical effect what the mall order busi ness Is. It drains a community of its commercial life blood and, if per sisted in, the thriving country vil lages will eventually become ruined and deserted, and with them will surely go the prosperity and value of the farms; for the markets will lie de stroyed, and without them, both the sooial life and the financial prollt of the farm will disappear, and in time the country revert to a wilderuesa. Of oourse, this picture is rather lur idly drawn, but it is the logical out come of such a course if carried to the limit. The Journal does not believe that things will ever come to such a pats, even in spite of the enormous catalog bouse trust just organized, and which 1b so strikingly cartooued by the gun oral Merchants' Keview because It has too uiuoh laith in the business acumen and spirit and enterprise of tbe merchants of the country. "They will have to tight, and fight hard ; but they will yet win. Hut it will have to be by conceited, intelligent effort. It is high time for every dealer, iu what ever line, to throw aside his preju dices, overcome his distrust of his competitor who. In ninety-nine cases out of 100, at a low estimate, is more honorablejtban the catalog bouse and join hands with bis association, aud association with association, to meet this, the greatest evil of the trade to day. It (most include, also, whatever else may be done, a campaign of edu cation among tbe farmers, to show up to them in tbelr true light tbe iuuute evils of oatalog house trade, its disas trous effects on their home towns and markets, upon tbe value of their farms, and more directly, perhaps, how they are actually losing money on tbelr purchases, although they have to pay cash for them, aud often, In order to do this, defraud the homo dealer by keeping from him mo :ey long past due blm for goods pruchased when tbe catalog bouse would not let tbem have oredit. Tbe average farm er, like anyone else, Is amendable to good, sound argument, and by get ting together and comparing notes the merchants of the country ought oertalnly to be able to develop a line of argument that would be unanswer able, Implement Trade Journal. Maypop, a New FrnlU A new fruit that seems likely to prove of considerable value nu? been developed by the cultivation of tbe common "maypop", a plant that ts very familiar iu the southern states, quite ornamental, easily grown from weds and utford u handsome cover or arbors and vorandaa, it is known to botanists as passillura Incaruata, The fruit In its impioied form is somewhat bigger than a hen's egg and decidedly puliitable. It looks like a May apple. M 1 -1 .... . 1. I. .

Tbe Improved fruit of the maypop is available for use both fresh and preserved.1 In all likelihood it will make Its appearance before long In our markets. spot there are warm areas. Even in the winter when the snow falls all around there are some spots where no snow can be found and a vapor or mist seems to Issue from the ground at all times, showing It to be much warmer than tbe rook formation. Natural Ice factory. Latah county, Idaho, bas a natural Ice factory that produces ice at any time of tbe year. The fact is not gen erally known and the location Is kuowu to but few. Tbls "natural fac tory" is located about a quarter ot a mile from Clvd's spur, between Voll men and Kendrlck. About a quarter of a mile back from the spur Is a bench at the toot of a oliff. Kocks have fallen from tbe cliff and formed a huge pile. It is bere the ice is formed. The cliff is about 80 feet In lieigt and is of basalt. Water coming from beneath tbe cliff freezes in the num erous pockets abounding In the rock. While the supply Is not large euough for commercial purposes, those who live near the place aud know Its loca tion often go there ou the hottest days and procure enogb to freeze Ice cream. A bucket of water placed In any of the holes freezes solid iu a short time. The niea is about 40 feet In diameter aud on the hottest days whuu the sun Is beating down on the, place, it is cool and pleasant. An-' other ourioua fact Is that near this Hour Hold By the Ited toosrl. W, C. Edgar, of Minneapolis, obair mau of the relief fund oommiltee for San Francisco sufferers, is in reoeipt of the following telegram from bis correspondent in San Francisco con cerning tbe sale of Minneapolis floor by Ueueral Greeley: "The Ited Cross finance commit lee is lying, Examiner bas thousands of applications for Sour. Large numbers of clergymen also deiii tiding Hour for tbelr needy parlshoneis sm "General i pinion is a serious offense has been committed in selling goods itrusted to the committee for free distribution, Would advise taking action immediately." Kdgar'a reply follows: "Believing in good faith of Hod Cross we unfortu nately turned over every dollar of our funds to Its agents. We therefore have no money to make legal fight against this shameful misappropria tion which is endorsed by national autlioiitios at Washington. Edgar's mall contains many letters from fire mid earthquake sufferers complaining bitterly of the treatment accorded them by tbe citizen's com mittee. They declare evory pound of flour whiob Greeley had on hand is ba lly needed and the higgaidly sys tem of furnishing supplies obtains in all quarters. These letters come from illiterate and educated people. Nearly Over the Falls. Celilo falls came near being the scene of anoter accident and Winters, Parsons & Boomer tbe losers of a staunch little steamei. Just before noon tbe crew of tbe steamer Mildied, whioh is from 30 to 40 leet long and is used in carrying supplies for the camps, was running her up the river wben a valve broke, rendering her unmanageable. Itea lizing tbe danger of staying by her they lowered the anohor and took to small touts, leaving ber to her fate.
