The Law
Should Be
Upheld.
To what demoraliZa-
ton have we come at
last! "It is a shame
to be chasing SULLI-
VAN and KILRAIN

around the country
with pack of detectives after them,
just as if they were criminals" That
was the remark of prominent citizen
of this city yesterday, and he spoke it as
if he felt it. And yet it never occurred
to him that SULLIVAN and KILRAIN
were criminals, and merit all the pun
ishment that the law provides. They
went into the state of Mississippi in the
full knowledge that prize fighting was
in violation of the laws of that state.
They went there with the premeditated
purpose of violating the state law, and
did. If that doesn't constitute crime,
what does? 1t is not only the duty of
the authorities of Mississippi to capture
the two pugilists and take them back to
the state for trial and punishment, but
it is the duty of every good citizen, both
in and out of the state, to aid the au-
thorities in their effort to uphold the
law. Sympathy for lawbreakers is a
good fertilizer for anarchy.
Profits of The crOakers are at
work figuring out hard
Wheat Crow times for the North
west. They base their
ing. calculations on the
prospect for short
wheat crop this season. And yet there
isn't one of these croakerS can tell you
what would be full crop or short
crop, or how much wheat to the acre a
farmer would have to raise to make his
crop profitable. A North Dakota gen.
tleman, who has made special study
of wheat growing in the Red river val
ley, says that all over ten bushels to the
acre is clean profit to the farmer, and
that on most Red river farms 81 is fair
estimate for the cost price of an acre of
wheat. Here is the way he calculates:
he allows 81 for the use of the ground,
the same for seed, S1.25 for the blowing,
25 cents for the sowing,20 cents for roll
ing, 81 for harvesting and 50 for thresh-
ing and marketing, making total of
Sc. 20, leaving margin of so cents for
the wear and tear of machinery. On
the poorest farm with the worst sort of
farming the cost cannot exceed $40 to
the acre. The lowest estimate that has
been made for this years crop in the
Red river valley is fifteen bushels to the
acre, with the general belief that the
yield will average eighteen bushels.
Now, as long as the wheat growers are
making a profit there can't be hard
times, and the croakerS had just as we'll
quit.
Authorship of The Arthur Rich
mond letters, which
the Arthur created something of a
sensation when they
Richmond first appeared in the
North American Re-
Letters view, but which after
wards became so stale
and commonplace that the publishers
had to discontinue them, were written
by different persons. WILLIAM HENRY
HURLBURT wrote the first one, in which
he made an attack upon Secretary BAY
ARD. Mr. HURLBUkT sailed for Europe
before it was printed, and neither he
nor Mr., RICE had any idea of the Sensa-
ton it would create. 1t was such a
great success that Mr.. RICE conceived
the idea of following it up with batch
of contributions which he hoped would
rival those of the celebrated JUNIUS.
GAN. HAMILTON was the next contribu-
tor. and, while her paper was peppery
enough, it fell so far below the llURL-
