One Price for All.

We have heard that there has been on the
part OF some merchants discrimination in
price OF goods TO some Of our people. This,
IL seems to us. is not fair. One mans none,
should buy MS as much as the same amount
OF any other mans money. Treat all alike.
Leta the people see that they are treated as

son between Western corn and southern COT
ton seed as money crops The farmer III the

30 pounds to the bushel the yield would be
l3rI bushels per acre. Atm cents that would
give him Sli6G an a3re over and above the 80
or more which he gets for his lint.
The iowa farmer who makes :SA bushels OF
corn per acre is good one, yet he does not re-
ceive any more money than his South Caroli-,
ia competitor does for his purely surplus crop
! of cotton seed. II Mr.. J. Smelling. of Barn

three bales Of cotton on one acre That yield

which would have brought him $40 In addi-
ton to the Sl3j or 10 from the sale of his lint.
Yet some south CarolinanS have an idea that
the West Is n more favored section than their
own! .-.
OF course, the expense Of growing cotton. Is
much greater than that of producing corn,
but this does not affect the comparison, be-
cause the expenses Of cotton culture are
charged against the lint and not the seed.

NORTH CAROLINA NEGROES.
Gov. Fowle Says They Enjoy All Their Rights,
but Is Silent About Suppressed Votes.

RALEIGH. N. c.. Oct. Ex-Governor Fowle
to-day opened the eleventh annual colored
State fair here, and spoke to large au-
dience of negroes. He referred to the action
of the colored Baptist convention at In
dianapolis in appointing day of fasting
and prayer for Southern negroes. and said
his auditors were as happy as any people
on the face of the earth and protected in all
their rights. and he pledged them the whole
power of the State to be exercised in
their behalf just as much as IN be-
half of the white men. The sentiment
of the negro toward the white man, he
said. III the South is kindly, and this is re-
clprOcated. Negro schools and asylums in
North Carolina are as we'll cared for as
those of the whites. The negroes Of the
North do not enjoy the same attributes of
freedom as the North Carolina negroes.
They never even see inside Of iury-box
The Governor touched upon the negro
where they wished, and would carry with
them the best wishes of the white people,
to whose women and children they had
been SO devoted during the late war. but
they would, in going. leave the State where
they are better protected aud happier than
anywhere else.
The Rev. Mr.. Leak. colored secretary of
the fair, indorsed Governor Fowle's re-
marks, which were frequently applauded.
Rev. Mr.. Leak said that negroes rights
were more fully protected in North Caro-
ly denounced the exodus. saying that negro
agents who were urging it were paid so
much per head for each negro whom they
induced to emigrate.

Ex-Treasurer Burke, of Louisiana.

New ORLEANS. Oct 23.-The grand jury
To-day resumed the State bond investiga-
tion. and returned three more indictments,
two of them being against ex-Vreasurer E.
A. Burke for forgery. in uttering as true
forged bonds of the State. The forgery is
understood to consist in having numbered
the constitutional bonds that were negoti-
ated by Mr.. Maurice Hart for Burke They
Were pledged to various banks of the city,
and when their fraudulent character was
discovered they were returned to Mr.. Hart,
and he refunded the money he had bor-
rowed upon them. Consequently Mr.. Hart
is $70.0 900 out of pocket.
In obedience TO mandatory order of the
court, calling for dispatches sent from this
city to Major Burke, in London, since the
bond Investigation has been going on. Mr..
J. L. Alleyn, manager of the Western
Union Telegraph Company in this city,
was before the grand jury, and 1t is under
stood submitted the dispatches specifically
called for. 1t is believed, however. that
they did not contain anything of i'm
portance to the State.

WILL BREAK THE SUGAR RING.
How Claus Spreckels Intendst to Fight and De-
feat the Greatest Trust in the Country.

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 23.-Claus Spreckels
intended to begin work at his big refinery
In this city to-day. but owing to the bad
weather and other causes no was prevented
from doing so. Active operations will
probably begin next week. Mr.. Spreckels
is confident that he will win in his great
fight against the Sugar Trust. II will pro-
duce one million pounds of sugar day at
the start" said Mr.. Spreckels. by Febru-
ary two million pounds day will be turned
out. have decided to double the plant.
and when the new buildings are finished,
as they will be before the end of next year,
will produce four million pounds q day.
New Orleans will be the next objective
point n refinery will be built there
with capacity of one million pounds
q day, and when have doubled my plant
here will produce six million pounds of
sugar day.. The trust produces eight
million pounds a day. SO that when get
fully started shall turn out three-fourrhs
of the. entire amount. and / shall sell it,
too. The sugar market continued Mr..
Spreckels. lis now in demoralized con-
dition. There was a drop yesterday in the
price of refined sugar of one-eighth of n
cent a pound. Every decline of one-eightk
trust of $1,000 a day. / look for drop of
one cent pound in the price of sugar in
the next thirty days. This means a de-
crease of $4,000 moro cay in the income
of the trust"
Mr.. Spreckels said that the big drop in
trust certificates can be accounted for from
the fact that the trust is loaded up with q
lot of high priced sugar. and as the market
Is IN bad condition the insiders have been
sliding out of their certificates"

THE CIvIL-sERvICE LAW.

One Congressman Who Upholds the Measure,
and Another Who Denonnces 1t.
Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Oct 23.-Nearly everybody
here is discussing the civil-service law in
general, and the commission as at present
constituted in particular. While the former
has friends in all parties, the latter seems
to be severely criticised by almost every
Senator and Representative. along with
private citizens The impression generally
prevails that there will be some radical
changes in either the commission or tho
law. although very few even feign to be-
lieve that the cardinal principle of the
law or the reform will be altered. There
are two Republican Congressman in
the city who take such wide
ly different views on the subject
that they are worth quoting. One is SIM
onds, of Connections. who favors the
whole thing as 1t now stands, and says 1t
will remain intact. The other is Houk, of
enforced and every member of the COM
mission Mr.. Simonds says: Undoubtedly
there is q decided opposition to the law
among the workers of both parties, but
speaking entirely from O partisan point Of
view / think patronage is positive evil.
/ have no slurs to cast upon a man
who seeks office. / think any man may
have an honorable ambition to hold
an Office and that he has a perfect right TO
seek it; but the possession of patronage is
positive injury to party, and think the
civil-service law should be maintained and
extended as far and as rapidly as it can be
of benefit to the public service
Mr.. Houk, who is the oldest Republican
member from the South. declares the re-
form under the present commission to be
fraud. He saws Comm ssioner Roosevelt is
going around talking as if the United
States belonged to him, and that the peo-
pie are heartily sick of the humbug. He
believes Congress will take it in hand.

HUGE RAILWAY ALLIANCE.
The Chicago & Northwestern and Union Pacific
Form Traffic Agreement

Special to the Indianapolis Journa
NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-The World says: "An
alliance has been formed between the Chi
cago 81 Northwestern and the Union Pacific
railway systems. These roads will hence
forth be operated in complete harmony
and with the view of each giving the other
all the traffic its agents can secure for
points on either line. The agreement
was first ratified by the board
of directors of the Union Pacif-
ic company with the government
directors present. and then by the board of
directors of the Chicago d Northwestern,
the last acts in the arrangement
being performed by Presidents
Charles Francis Adams and Marion
Hughitt. who signed -the documents
for their respective companies. The Chi
cago & Northwestern, as is well
known. is under the control of
the Vanderbilts. Now, with their
close. affiliation with the Union
Pacific, the Vanderbilts will probably
branch out towards the Pacific ocean. This
could very readily be done by continuing
the line of the Union Pacific from
Frisco. Utah, southwesterly to one of
the southerly California seaporJs in prox-
unity to Los Angeles. Those who ought to
know say 1t will not be long before Van
derbilt through line, extending from ocean
to ocean. will also be an accomplished
fact

WORKING NIGHT AND DAY.

Great Amount of Labor Performed by the
Postmaster-General and His Assistant.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-First Assistant
Postmaster-general Clarkson is doing an
immense amount of work incident to the
compilation of Postmaster-general Wana-
makers report. Both officers are working
night and day, with view to completing
their labors by the middle of next month.
The annual report of the Postmaster-gen-
eral is always voluminous. sometimes occu-
pying a thousand closely printed pages,
much of which is tabular work. The news

him well at this time. De is "A rapid COM

they are the hardest worked of any of the

tary Window. however. is doing o great
deal of work getting his report ready.
When Mr.. WaDamaker entinto the Post
Office Department il was said by some that
he took the position merely for its honors;
that he would use it to bring himself into
prominence without doing any actual labor,
and that he was. in fact a retired mer-
chant, so far as actual physi work was
concerned. Mr.. Wanamaker has averaged
fully ten hours out of every twenty-four of
each of the six days of the week, with the
hardest kind of work since he became Post
master-general If one will look i'm upon
him at his work in his room at the
P0stoffice Department. or at his residence.

abused of any idea that Mr.. Wanamaker is
not a laborer in the busiest vineyard of the
country. He hasdisplayed great adaptable
ity in his work, and takes hold OF il with a
relish. 1t is understood that his report will
be more voluminous than that of any of his
predecessors, and that il will contain many
important recommendations.
