Again Continued.

About thirty residents of Rising Sun
and vicinity came to E I1ton yesterday to
attend special session of Court as wit
nesses in the case of Alfred Kirk and
others, petitlnning creditors vs.. David G .
Mccoy. The plaintiffs are uppreferred
creditors and they desire to have Mccoy
who has cpuduc ed the canning business
at Rising Sun, declared insolvent and
trustee appointed to take charge OF his
assets. This action is based on a letter
published by Mccoy in the Midland
J0urnal admitting that he had been in
solvent for some years. The preferred
creditors resist action. Judg5 Stump
held special session of Court about two
weeks ago to hear the case and it was
continued until yesterday. The case was
then found in such condition that it
had to be again continued. Messrs. Con-
stable, Falls aud Evans represent the Pc
titioners and Messrs. Jones and Haines
the respondents.

ALRICH'S CROSSING

ALRICH'S CROSSING,
SPoTTSYLvANIA Co, VA.
Mr.. Edito,:-I am sorry I haven't had
anything to tell you or your readers for the
past few weeks, but the elements have been
very much opposed to sight seeing. How
ever l ploughed through the mud dis
lance OF ten miles to Fredericksburg few
days ago to see some of the numerous points
of interest in that historic old town. Old
is just the word to use in describing it, most
of the houses and buildings bring Did, very
few new structures being seen. Its a town of
about six thousand inhabitants, the Kappa
hanock river bordering the east side divid-
ing Spottsylvania and Stafford Counties.
The two principal streets are Main street,
where most of the dry goods and notion
stores are located, and Merchant street
where groceries and hardware are sold. On
one of the side streets near the heart of the
town stands the house where that noble
woman the mother of the Father of our
Country lived and died. The mousse is a
long one story and a-half frame building
and while not prepossessing in appearance
the memory and associations that cluster
around it make it dear to the eyes of all pa
triOtic people. Her tomb is in the old Wash
ing burying ground on the outskirts of the
town. IL is plain unfinished granite shaft,
but great efforts are being made to erect
handsome monument to her memory and
to open a street from the monument into
the town, calling it Washington avenue.
About mile west of the railway station on
what is known Marye's Heights, the
celebrated inirenched position of the rebel
army under Lee in December 1862, is situ-
ated the Northern Soldiers Cemetery, one
of the most beautiful spots eye ever gazed
upon. II contains little over twelve acres
of uneven land purchased by the United
States in 1866 for the sum of S3,00l.25 The
front is terraced ard the graves are ar
ranged in single rows in the terraces aud in
parallel rows in the other burial section.
They number between fifteen and sixteen
hundred and are marked by small granite
head-stones mostly inscribed unknown"
From the foot of the terraces to the heights is
reached by stone steps lined on either side
by beau ;iful cedars. In tn. center of the
level ground from IA high pole floats the
Union flag and all around are cannons and
cannon balls The grass is kept cut close
with lawn mowers, and benches and sum-
mer houses are through the grounds invit-
ing visitors to rest and view the beautiful
resting place of the noble dead.

We haven't seen better argument In
favor of marriage than the following taken
from the Knoxville journal: "a Duluth
manufacturer has recently increased the
wages of his married employees and given
single men noticed that after a certain time
if they are not married their services will
not be required. This will perhaps be re.
garded by many as a mere within, but is
based on sound business principles. As
rule married men are more trust worthy and
consequently more valuable to their en-
ployers than single men. A man who has
no place that he calls home is not altogether
a man. t. be Il full grown manly man one
must have something to love and cherish.
npon which TO bestow his manly affections,
The mail who packs everything he has in a
gripsack and is always ready to change his
place OF residence as soon as the next train
goes is a rolling stone that gathers nothing.
The man who has wife and children to
love never becomes a tramp, and the man
who has "A speck of manhood in his breast
tries to be respectable for the sake of his
wife and children, if not his own sake 1t is
easy enough to see that man who feels
that he has something to live for is more
trustworthy than one whose affections never
90 out to anything out of his own vest.
Marriage may sometimes be worse than "a
failure, but in ninety-nine cases out of a
hundred is a mans fault. The man who
cannot hold the affections of good wife to
the extent of making his lot hundred tunes
more pleasant and happier than that of the
homeless wanderers is a failure whether
married or single And whether he be pen
niless or worth his millions, he is a fail ure
all the same. There is nothing illogical or
unbusiness-liks in the position of the Duluth
manufacturer. The man with a wife and IL
home is a more trustworthy employe, as he
is also q better citizen.

EQUAL PRIVILEGES.

"Wealth is power" is coming to have
the other adage that requires amend
ment to give it rightful expression. 1t
would have been pronounced the dream
of a cracked brain had it been predicted
in the organization of the republic that
in a little more than century the
wealth of the country would reach the
astonishing figures now filled, and still
more absurd would it have seemed that
three-fifths of this vast wealth should
be in the hands of $1,000 people out of
100000 THOMAS G. SHEARMAN, who
is accepted as high authority in politi-
cal and financial statistics. makes this
statement. He finds further that there
are in the United States 300 persons who
have $40, 900, 900 each; 400 who have S10,-
OO0,0 900; 1000 who have S5,0OO,000; 1850
who have 81, 100000: 1000 who have ST.
100000 and twenty thousand who worry
along with half-million until they can
get into more comfortable circum-
stances. Those who talk of the rapid
growth of class who WELD dangerous
power in the interest of the moneyed
few are not without basis for apprehel-
sion. The perils of plutocracy are
more than the vagarIes of pessimists.
This rapid aggregation of the wealth Of
the country in the hands of a small
class is due chiefly to the prevalence of
partial and unwholesome political and
legislative policies. These have been
shaped to force the currents of thrift
into the swelling domains of the few.
The result is the existence of plutoc-
racy aggre ssive and grasping. 1t holds
in its grip the United States senate, and
can check any Legislative embodiment
of the needs of the many. Its bulwark is
its hold upon the taxing power, and it's
final success is to be found in full con-
troll of taxation. This will give it CON-
plete dominance over honest industry
and laborious production. 1t talks with
glib assurance of protection to labor,
while deluded toll hungrily does it
blind service. The thousands of idle
miners in Illinois, Indiana and Penn
sylvania, and the hushed or limping
factors in the shaping of iron and steel
and manufacture of wool in the
East tell the paralyzing story of
plutocratic protection. Trusts are
its natural but ill-omened fruits.
The need of the time 10 such shap-
ing of taxation that it will not hold
out to concentrated wealth enriching
opportunities at the expense of weary
industry. There should be such equal
ity of privilege as the law can give, and
no private enterprises should be fos-
tered at the EXPENSE of the MANY

NORTH DAKOTA POLITICS.

The Democrats of North Dakota have
put an admirable ticket in the field.
ROACH, for governor, is one of the most
popular men in Grand Forks county.
He has represented it in the legislature.
perhaps more than once, as strongly
Republican as it is. He is a strong
man. DAN MARATTA is household
name, and if majority in the North
vote their personal choice they will put
it on their tickets. All the names seem
to be selected with special regard to
their fitness for the positions, and evil
IDENTIFY will receive much more than the
ordinary party vote. The people would
make no mistake if they should elect
the ticket in entirety. The campaign
can be but month in length, as the
voting is the first day of October.
1t will be short, whether sharp
and decisive or not. Aside from
the selection of an uneXceptionable
ticket, the Democrats have the side
of the people on the two issues made up
by the Republicans. The latter stand
by their platform for a protection that
imposes taxation and no benefits upon
the farmer. The Republicans have put
prohibition upon their banner and
placed it in the hands of one of the
most vehement advocates of that de-
moralizing and ineffective system. The
Democrats have taken issue squarely on
both of these questions. If there could
be thorough canvass made and full
understanding of the position of the
parties on these points, there would be
no doubt as to the result. The people
are for tariff reduction when they can
look at it without partisan spectacles,
and they showed by their vote last year
that they had no faith in prohibition.

WILL PUZZLE THEM.

One of the chief purposes indicated
by the Republicans for calling congress
together month or two earlier than
the regular session is to get the commit
tees to work on the promised revision
of the tariff. The men who asserted at
Chicago last year that the internal rev.
enue system must go before there was
any abatement of the protective idea,
will be in control of the Republican
party. The author of that plank is
very hopeful candidate for speaker.
But the embarrassments that beset the
party in its nominal effort at revision
in the last congress will be intensified
in the new body. New and unantici-
pated demands will come up from the
iron industries of New England and
the wool manufacturers of the East. 1t
will be alleged by the iron workers
that the virtual extinction of this
once very important New England
industry hinges upon free coal and sub
stantially free raw material. The wool
manufacturers will come with the claim
now stated in leading Republican
paper in Philadelphia, that "only free
wool will save the vast wooden indus
tries from destruction," and that there
''must be honest tariff legislation in the
interest of labor" The people who
will come with these demands are Re-
publicans who contributed freely to the
campaign funds last year. They will
be met by the wool growers, who will
insist that they are having hard time
and will be ruined if the duty is taken
off of wool. They, too. voted the
ticket and put something into the hat.
Then the sugar growers of Louisiana,
Kansas and Nebraska will come, de-
manding that there shall be no turning
upon their sweet industry, although
the party has been insisting that
sugar was one of the products it
didn't care to protect Possibly some
Republicans are not aware that protec-
ton was not one of the original articles
of party faith. The first Republican
congress passed a bill making wool
practically free, at the demand of the
manufacturers, and it continued so
until the war tariff became necessary.
What was deemed but temporary ex-
pedient has became the settled and ex-
tolled policy of the party. If break is
made in the Chinese wall it will grow.
But the situation, as it will confront
the tariff trainers committed to ultra
protective dogmas, is likely to be a
very perpleXing one.

CaICAGo,s CHANCE.

Washington is. apparently likely to
make some trouble for the other candi-
mates for the worlds fair, from the fact
that it has congress, which will have
the deciding voice. Most of the eastern
and central part of the South will be
apt to choose the federal capital as
matter of convenience, and as between
Washington and Chicago the former is
likely to have good deal of support
that favors New York. Washington
will be bad selection in almost every
respect. 1t is already intimated that
the government will have to hand over
Ss,oO0.0Oo to get the thing started if at
Washington. 1t would be like every
thing else there, feeder off the uation.
Chicago has the best show for it still,
but it will require some work among
the congressman to effect it. The adj
ministration will be apt to favor Chi
