THE National anti-monopoly league
has achieved some signal triumphs in
New York where the necessity for the
organization has created an active inter-
est in its behalf Its principles are
"Anti-monopoly. We advocate and
will support and defend the rights of
the many as against privileges for the
few. Corporations, the creation of the
State, shall be controlled by the State.
Labor and Capital-allies, not enemies
justice for both" We note that Hon.
J. II. Reagan, Democratic Representa-
tive from Texas, is one of the officers of
the League. The plan Of the League
is not to put forward candidates of its
own, but to support the candidates of
the party that supports its principles.
If there is no such candidate, it will act
independently. This the organs of the
League say, "is what it has come for,
and it has come % stay until the peoples
rights are obtained"

Brethren Of the Subordinate Lodges:
Al extraordinary calamity has befallen
the town of Monticello, the county seat oil
Lawrence county. On Saturday, the 2Ist
inst, the place was visited by a cyclone,
destroying every house except three, killing
eleven persons, and seriously injuring many
others. Furniture, clothing, provisons-in
fact everything was swept away or destroyed
in a few seconds. Not a vestige is left OF
the hall of Eastern Star Lodge No 10 It's
venerable Secretary, Rev. Bro. S. W. Dale,
was killed in his house, leaving a most
helpless family. The widows and orphans
of other brethren deceased, who had a hard
struggle for subsistence before, are now
without shelter, food or clothing. Our
Grand Secretary visited the place on nv
suggestion and afforded temporary
relief to the most necessitous; but
brethren. this is a work in which am sure
every Lodge, if not every individual Mason
in Mississippi, will deem it a privilege to
participate. What is to be done, should be
done quick, and hence the Masters of Lodges
are hereby authorized to call an Emergent
Communication, or to take such other action
as will afford the speediest relief Several
families, who have the strongest claims
upon Us, are absolutely without any resour-
ces, and must suffer unless we assist them.
The hall Of Eastern Star Lodge cannot be
rebuilt without the help of sister Lodges.
The Master Of this Lodge is Brother Geo. A.
Teanisson, Deputy for the Tenth District,
who will see that all contributions are faith
fully and judieiousIy applied
Contributions should be sent to Grand
Secretary, who will receipt for and make
record of same, and forward to Bro. Teunis-
son.

STEEL rails are now quoted as low as S54
per ton, decline of $40 within few weeks.
This means saving of $500 or 81 900 per
mie in the construction of railroads. It
should b. noted that no action of Congress
an the tariff has been needed to produce
this result. The great laws of supply and
demand are above the laws of nations.
That's the way high tariff organ puts
it: but it is very unfair way. The
price of these rails in England is from
$50 to s35 per ton. The tariff duty
levied for The protection CD of iron-mas-
tiers monopoly is s2S. The duty is ad-
ded to the price of the article, which is
advanced by the railroad companies but
eventually comes out of the people in
freights and fares. Take away the duty
and steel rails would be quoted at from
$50 to $50, 90 ton; that would be
saving Of from 81 900 to So. 900 a mile
in the construction of roads; and this
saving world be to the people in the
long run, and not to the corporations.
Toshow how this monopoly has worked
We viii repeat a statement which we
find in a speech delivered in Congress
BY Representative Mcmillan, of Tennes-
see, that the Bessemer Steel Works of
the United States, which last year made
a profit of90 per cent. on their capita,
recently hired the Vulcan Works Of st.
Louis, to close for three years in order
to lessen the production and raise the
price. although il deprived about six
thousand laboring people Of employ
ment.

knights OF The Trigger

The spOrtsmeu Of the city had i time
last evening which not only offered ex-
citement to thos- who took part but fur
nished interest to large number OF Wis
itOrs. The occasion referred to was a
8 pigeon shoot ON the splendid plateau
near the residence of Peter McClelland,
ST., in north Waco. Mr. Ambold had
provided a UtticIeGt number Of birds to
afford all al opportunity to test their
touch Of the trigger and accuracy Of the
eye, and the result was three matches
were shot. We Civ below the winners
in the different shoots and their birds,
dropping the name and score Of those
who fell below the point Of winning:
In the first match John Thompson
took first money on ten birds; w. H.
Jones got second money on q lie on the
same number, and H. NJ Thompson got
third without "a tie
In the second match W. V. Fort and
+. Mccall divided first money, each
having brought down eight out of ten
birds; john Thompson took second
stakes on seven birds and Joe Garland
and c. c. McCulloch divided third
money on SIX birds each.
The third shoot resulted IN giving
A-HA a -INN'c4l anu o. A. dhIlduu u ulVlut
on first money, each getting nine out of
ten Dir 5; c. c. McCullorh and Jno B
Willis divided second money on eight
feathers each and Joe Garland took
third money shooting off tie
Although not gotten up for anything
more than to allow the sportsmen to try
the pulse of their breach-loaders and
give them a chance to gauge the accu
racy Of their eye, the shoot occasioned
a large share Of interest, not ONLY among
the members Of the club, but others.
In the last two years these matches
have been gotten up only semi-occa-
slonally, because they are expensive to
begin with, and in the next instance, it
Is hard to get birds, while in the last
place, it is hard for sufficient number
OF members to get away from business
to make the matches interesting to them
selves and the public. Much genuine
interest could re gotten up, however,
II these matches were INDUCED in at
stated intervals.

BAD HANDLING OF CROPS.
n Matter That Ought TO Get
WOre Attention From Our
Farmers.

Those who have been close readers of
the EXAMINER will remember that not
long ago, We sugg, sted that the planting
of Il crop was not all that the Texas
farmer had to do to insure him an aver
age yield. The time might have been
once, when If the seed was cast upon the
top of the earth and it made only a two
fold return It was a bonanza for the
farmer, but if there ever were such
times, they have passed, and agricul-
tural pursuits, like merchandising has
now been reduced almost to science.
The farmer who now tills his land indus
trlously and scientifically get, good
return, while those who do not get as a
return only chance to cuss about their
hard luck. But to get nearer to the
subject, We see and hear of many farms
IL this and adjOurning counties on which
the greatest possible eshgence is prac-
tlced III saving crop after it has ma
tured. IN many places, wheat fully
ripe, stands III the field and no har
vester III sight. 4 gentleman, who for
many years has been farmer and accu-
mulated all he has in that way, says
that III travelling over four
counties he saw grain that was spelling
in the field for want of the harv. ster
and III other laces where the machine
had assed along the -heaves had been
left lying on the damp ground for d.ys
and days, until almost ready to sprout.
In other fields the grain was shocked
up, but by some freak OF the wind the
shocks were upset and lay il confusion
on the ground, Just as Though they were
of no further use, and no doubt the
farmer knew nothing about it or never
looked III the field after the machine
was taken out. 1t is fact
that III this and all the adjoining coun-
ties there Is to-day corn and cotton
which is being choked up by weeds and
can never be redeemed from them if not
attended to soon, and yet if you call at
the house Of the owner he will either
tell you what fine prospect he has for
corn and cotton or he will beWail the
fact that providence, the elements, seed,
weeds and verything else were agail st
him and he has no showing at all to
make crop. Any person with even a
half prachced eye can ride over fifty
or seventy-1ive miles in his section and
tell wheresthe industrious OF indolent
tiIler of the soil lives by looking at his
fields. The idea that to plant a crop in
this country is all that is required has
been exploded. and as we stated at the
outset the idea that after it is made
upon the field, nothing more has to be
done, is another idea that must be ex-
ploded Pass along the road and see
farmers grain, after the harvester has
passed, left on the ground for two
weeks, OF II put up, at most, only in such
a WRV that the slightest storm wOuld
fall it. What northern farmer would al
low crop to spoil in that way? His
idea would be to cultivate less and save
all. But We are gaining experience
slowly here.
