Less than a score of years ago
efforts were made by the Richmond
Tobacco Exchange to repeat the Vlr-
ginia Tobacco Inspection Laws, on the
plea that inspection was NO longer
necessary or useful. But when the
effort was first made to repeal the said
laws there were enough planters in
the Legislature who comprehended
what was involved in the repeal Of a
salutary law which protected the
planter against unlimited charges, i'm
posed and regulated by the Tobacco
Boards of Trade, and they defeated
the Tobacco Exchange scheme. But
the Tobacco Board of Trade carried
on the fight till the law was repealed,
legal inspection and charges repealed
and freed from all restrictions, the
trade elected its own inspector and we
see what the result is as regards
charges for selling the staple.
Combinations and trusts will be
noticed in the next number.

A REFORM DEMANDED.

The frequent deaths caused by the
cable cars in San Francisco and else
where, call for law compelling the
companies to provide better safeguards
for the unprotected public. 1t is said
that quite number of appliance have
been offered these car companies. that
were considered satisfactory for the pur-
pose, but that the inventors demanded
more money for their inventions than
the parismary of the. companies would
submit to pay. 1t seems to be therefore
a question between money and human
life and until the authority of the law
steps in, the result is matter not hard
to determine.
The same can be said of railroads gen
orally. There are any number of inven-
tons for coupling freight cars success
fully without hazarding the life and
limb of the brakeman as by the present
prevailing method. 1t is, perhaps, not
SO much matter of cost of making the
necessary changes in the cars already in
use as to get the roads to agree upon and
adopt a common method, which is in a
manner necessary, owing to the system
of interchanging cars for through bust
ness over different lines, sometimes TAX
ing cars entirely across the continent.
But it will come bv and by.

REPUBLICAN RACKsLIDING

We beg to remind the Hon. Sol Miller
of Doniphan county that he is not very
consistent. On two different occasions
in a very able manner he gave God the
credit OF the election of General Harri-
son to the presidency and the return of
the Republican party to power. In his
last issue he emphatically gives the devil
the credit of that important historical
performance. The Democratic papers
will copy Soils blacksliding article with
great joy. Soils last manifesto lacks one
important element: it is not true. John
Wanamaker did not give Dudley $780,
600, or the quarter of that sum. and that
was used In current Incidental expenses.
The Democrats OF Indiana have charged
it on Dudley that he corruptly used
money 10 buy votes for Harrison. and
they have nearly turned the earth over
to prove 1t, but have utterly failed. II
was state pride that gave Indiana to
Harrison. And Sol Miller knows that
Harrison was elected without Indiana.
so that Dudley. who is sinking in his
tent for some imaginary grievance, did
not elect Harrison. But Harrison and
Wanamaker are both consistent Chris
tians, and that's what's the matter with
Sol. ''Out of the abundance of the heart

was cut down, put into a coffin, placed

Some Drawer people came, opened the
coffin and found the body turned on its

applied electricity, the negro was COM

seems, would raise serious question

GENE WARES CAVE.

Mr.. VIM. Willard Howard left by the
Frisco yesterday morning to visit some
wonderful caves in the James river and
White river districts of western Mis-
souri,. He went armed with flash-light
camera to catch and transfer the interior
glories of the dark subterranean palaces
of those regions to the bright open pages
of Harper's Weekly. Gene Ware, the
poet laureate-of our sunfower combina-
ton, owns a magnificent cave on the
James river. Gene was down there
fishing last summer and accidentally
run on to an immense hole in the ground
big enough to take in the nations CAPT.
tai, all stalactited and stalagmited with
grotto grandeur. He made up his mind
that he would own that forty acres of
timber, river, mountain and cave, if it
busted him. After days search or so he
found long-iawed unkempt native
who held the fee simple to the coveted
prize. Ware made his desire known and
demanded a price. "Wa'al, stranger"
replied the Missourian, .'that two thou
sand acre trac' cost me power O mon
ey; it's very valuable, but SEEM as you
have gotten your eye soften on that
fishin' spot l guess l kin let the forty
acre cave lot to you for one hundred and
twenty dollars" Ware, who had made
up his mind to give one thousand, in
well feigled establishment EXCHANGED:
Great Jerusalem! man, you don't want
to rob me, do your ''Wa'al, no, but it
cost me power o money, stranger"
was all that he could get out of him ex-
cept the deed. Ware is building fish
ing lodge or cabin on his lot in front of
his big cave and Howard will probably
take them in.
