test with Mr.. Cockrill was close one.
1t was waged in gentlemanly and hon
orable manner and Mr.. Dyas was fairly
and squarely beaten. Heis now simply
bolter. Because the convention did not
see fit to give him the nomination, he
seeks to defeat the regular nominee and
injure the entire democratic ticket simply
as a matter of spite work. Mr.. Dyas
must have too much sense to suppose for
a moment that he can be elected. This

duty of every democrat of Cascade coun-

The Largest Wheat Farm.


The Grandin wheat farm in Dakota
comprises about 10000 acres, of
which l3.OO0are under cultivation, H.
900 acres being sown to wheat. There
used are ON the farm forty-five gang
plows, two pIows in gang, each cutting
fourteen to fifteen inches. There are
for.y-ijye gang-hauows. These are
six feet square, but are arranged to-
gether side byside to work twenty-four
feet wide. One long eyener draws the
four with pair of mules near each
end. One man drives both teams.
Iag advantage Of this system is worthy
daotco by other farmers, 1t reduces
the number Of men usually required
by ouc-haf. There are forty-four
broadcast sewers, sowing eight feet
each, and one man drives both spans,
another saving Of half the man force.
There are siXty-five self-binding har-
vcsters employed on the place. Mod
arn Improvements have so perfected
these that one expert is required foi
the whole, especially since the exper-
fenced workmen on the machine are
Kept from year to year, and they are
able To- attend to any little repairs.
The uaryesters are drawn by three
mules and one and one-half to two
men are required to shock the bundles
from each machine. The thrashers, of
which there are six, are quite extern

Finally, there was a fragrant case of

demoralized his regiment by his cow

hiding behind the friendly stump.
When tried for his cowardice there was

nor wife nor child; that he was unfit
to wear the loyal uniform, and that he
was a thief who stole continually from

A NEW THoRoueHFARE ADDED.

Select Council could not fairly do other
wise yesterday than concur with Common
branch in passing the ordinance for the
widening of Diamond street. There need
be no surprise, therefore, that but three
votes were cast against it. This is case
where not only is the public convenience
consulted by substituting for mere alley
handsome ffty-toot thoroughfare in the very
heart of the city, but one which has the ad-
ditional merit of the work being openly
pledged to be done at the expense solely of
the abutting property owners.
As some objection was made under the
seeming impression that the city, or prop
erty in the neighborhood but not on the
street, would have to share the cost, it is
well that there is very clear understanding
about that. Considering the immense in
crease in value reasonably anticipated for
the abutting lots when the widening is done,
and the fact that they persistently petitioned
for the work, with the understanding that
they were to pay the whole damages, any
attempt to bring in the city would be alike
futile and in bad faith. But as the
parties concerned vigorously repudiate
the imputation of such an intendment there
is no need to speak of it farther, excepting
to make doubly clear now, before the work
begins, the understanding that the abutters
defray the cost. The Board OF Viewers, who
are to assess benefits, are also committed to
the same position by their late official COM
munication to Councils.
With the widening effected and the ex-
pense met in this way by the property own
ers directly interested, nothing should stand
in the way of congratulation on the prospect
of fine, new thoroughfare being added to
the city's facilities for business. As for re-
cent indications that the new street, like
Fifth and other avenues, will be sought for
railway purposes, it may reasonably be be-
lieved that the property owners who pay for
this improvement will be quick enough to
protect their interests. The present desire
is strong and unequivocal for an unob-
structed thoroughfare.

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PITTsBURG, TUESDAY. JULY 2, 1889.
THE BUSINESS TAX DECISION.

The decision of Judge Slagle. in the busi-
ness tax case of the Hartman Steel Compa-
ny, restrains the collection of that tax on
the principal share of the plaintiffs bust
ness. One of the prohibited classes of traf-
fc consists of goods sold from the works
outside the city to people living in the city,
but delivered to the customers at the works.
outside of the city being able to do business
with the city in that way it is safe to pre-
sumo that the smount of business tax col
lected in the future from firms Of this class
will not be worth mentioning.
Judge Slagle's reasoning on the legal
aspects of the case, as reported elsewhere,
appears sound, and coming from jurist of
his ability it may be assumed that it will
stand as the law. That being the case, it
will simply offer another reason for discard
ing this antiquated style of taxation. 1t is
bad enough to have a tax levied primarily
on enterprise, which enterprise must in turn
collect from the consumers; but wher in
addition to this the tax is made to offer
premium on locating manufacturing enter
prises outside of the city, it appears to- be
somewhat phenomenal in its stupidity.
There might be some sense in an income
tax, which is tax not necessarily on enter
prise, but on prosperity. The tax on gross
sales combines all the bad features Of the
income tax, with a total absence of any OF
its recommendations.
