For the past few days several resi­dents of the village have experienced a great deal of trouble with skunks. By the number of the animals that are' roaming about in the evenings one • would think that somebody was operat- j ing a skunk farm on a large scale. The' depredations which have been wrought in chicken coops and yards by these :

night prowlers have resulted in consid- j erable damage and annoyance to many poultry raisers. Some chicked" flocks havo been entirely annihilated. It is a common occurrence In the early even­ing to see on the outskirts o f the town an old skunk with from six to eleven young ones on the forage. T^ey have even been encountered on the. sidewalks and lawns and evidently recognize the effectiveness of their weapons of de­fense a t they manifest no fear of man. Several people have invested in guns and traps and have succeeded in killing a large number of them. *

The comment goes on to say that i ta best friends are the manufacturers who make toe moat money out of i t espec­ially those whom it enables to charge American consumers much more than that which they are sold for in Europe! Then he says: "When these friends revise the tariff water may be expected to run uphill. Standard oil officials re­membering some of the rebates they have received and Mayor McClellan consenting to a recount of the votes by which he was elected mayor. B u t if it ever should become an overmaster­ing conviction of the American people that a tariff should not be of eucb a character as to hold them up, compel­ling them to pay more for goods at the doors of the factories than the same •bods are sold for in Europe by the same manufacturers, then there will be a tariff revision. It is up to the voters, not to the friends,'' To which we say

1 amen, and may it come quickly.
