HUI MAXWELL'S EXPLORATIONS ON
THE SUMMIT OF THE SIERRAS.

TOLL HOUSE, CAL, Sept. 2O.-lt
was noon when Mr.. Selby and ]
gained the top of the volcano. The
scenery was wild and weird and aw-
full beyond anything of earth that
we had seen before. AT our feet
yawned the ancient crater, huge and
hldeous, hundreds of feet deep down
into the center of the mountain. 1t
was like vast funnel, one thousand
feet in diameter across the top, and
sixshundred feet deep. The greater
part of the rim round the the top re.
manned; but a portion of it Oh one
side was broken down, there was a
wild and rugged gap there, through
which the flood of fire had burst its
way when it had grown too violent
to be held longer within bound. The
traces of the devastation were tire.
mendous. 1t looked as if a noun
tain of fire had been scattered for
miles along the channel and over the
country round. The bursting of the
volcano must have been enough to
shake the whole range of the Sierra
Nevada mountains. No wonder that
we had seen so many traces of the
work of earthquakes among the
mountains around. Those yawning
cracks so deep that no bottom was
visible had not ben the work of ages.
1t had been done by a rapid success
sion of earthquake shocks or by one
vast eruption and CONFUSION.

we came to a promontory of rock
overhanging the abysmal pit, and
by walking upon it we could see far
down into the half.dark caves and
vaults, through which the subterra,
mean fires once forced their way
upward through the foundations OF
the mountain. But still we could
not tell whether We had seen the
5ottom or not. We would decide
the matter by going down.

COMBINATION VS.. COMPETITION.

Every trust organized aims to be-
come monopoly. When we are
told that this trust, or that trust has
been formed for the purpose of inn
proving the manufacture of the article
or of cheapening its price to the con-
sumner, it is for the purpose OF mis-
leading the public from the main
issue to lower as far as possible the
market value of the raw material and
to increase the cost of the manufac-
tured article TO the public. 1t is not
the producer of the raw material nor
the consumer of the manufactured
product, but the trust itself that en-
joys the benefits. The people do not
need the complicated machinery OF
trusts to tell them what are their
rights nor to protect them in the en-
ioyment thereof. The cotton seed
oil trust with perhaps half its mills
idle makes immense profits on the
others. The sugar trust operates but
eleven of it sixteen refneries and yet
is able to pay large dividends upon its
watered stock. The whisky trust
owns eighty-one distilleries, but oper-
ates only dozen of them making
handsome profits upon the watered
stock of all of them.
Trusts are really intended to limit
the supply and increase the prices. 1t
is truth no one will deny that where
there is combination there cannot be
competition and without competition
there can be no protection in trade.
No better definition of a trust can be

Educate Your Children in Texas.

Royse City Alta: AS the time is
drawing nigh for Texas boys and girls
to make arrangements to go off to
other states to school, we deem it an
opportune time to say that this ought
not to be. Why it is we cannot ex-
plain. Probably its the distance
that lends enchantment to the view"
This we do know, that there are just
as good schools and colleges in Texas,
though mayhap not so old, as there
are in other states. The school with
the most money and the biggest name
is not always the best and most thor
ough, but It's the one struggling to be-
come richly endowed and to win for
itself crown of laurels in the educa-
tional field. We believe in patronizing
home institutions then; we believe
that if educated at home, Texans will
rule Texas, but if we depend upon the
east, that section will reign in the
parlor, at the bar and in the legisla-
tive halls of the country. The fond
memories of college life are perchance
the strongest chord that bind the hu-
man heart to any place. Educate
your children in Virginia and they will
be the sons and daughters of Virginia.
Twas Napoleon who said: GIVE me
the Children of France to educate
and France will 1 rule" So if we be-
ieve in "home rule" and would help
to build up home institutions, let us
educate at home and teach the youth
who is Gather to the man." to glory
in being educated in Texas-a land
won by the blood of Travis and con-
secrated to liberty in the blood of
Fannin. Unadulterated devotion to
home and its institutions is what we
want.

Enshrined in Imperishable Love.

Gainesville Register: The Confed-
crate reunion at Sulphur Springs was
an occasion full of joy to the old sol
diers who attended. Never will the
spotless name of the south be stained
with treason, till she ceases to glOrify
the men who wore the gray. They
fought for the purest cause that ever
stirred heroic hearts to battle. They
lost, but the dim corridors of the past
are eloquent of Thermopyialan echoes
that tell OF the hopeless fall of free
dom's cause, the death of freedoms
martyrs. We love the Confederate
soldiers because they were born of the
south, because of their heroism and
sacrifice, because of the stainless cause
they lost, to be unrestricted forever
Let the old soldiers gather in reunion
around the camptires of peace year by
year. With no bitterness for the
north, accepting with patriot faith the
result of the war, the southern people
will ever enshrine in the imperishable
love of the heart, the Confederate sol
diers living and dead.

Cotton Seed Hulls as Cattle Food.

There is an astounding statement
printed elsewhere, says the Atlanta
Constitution, to the effect that:
"The hulls of cotton seed of the cot
ton states will produce more beef,
butter, milk and cheese, more wool
and mutton, than all the clover and
bluegrass of Tennessee, Kentucky and
Ohio"
And yet it appears to be true. An
Atlanta firm fattened $500 beeves
last year on cotton seed hulls at a
profit of $4,000. Two train-loads OF
these beeves were shipped from Atlanta
to Philadelphia, and sold their in COM
petition with Chicago beef. This
same firm will fatten 10000 steers
next winter.
Joel Chandler Harris, an authority
on fox hounds, bees and Jerseys, is
feeding his herd on cotton seed hulls,
and says the result in milk, butter and
beef is amazing. In the Southern
Farm, w. NJ. Towers, of Rome, writes
of test between corn, cotton seed
meal and cotton seed hulls, in which
the latter produced vastly better re-
suits.
And vet until a year ago cotton
seed hulls were used as fuel for engines
or cast away as worthless. OF all the
plants that grow cotton is the miracle,
and its wonders are not yet tried. Its
little, black, wrinkled seed is as full OF
meaning as an old Hebrew verb.

Differentiative Complications.

Bolton Journal: Most all of those
who oppose the creation of a railway
commission contend that the legisla-
ture ought to fix freight rates as it did
passenger rates. The answer to sui h
a proposition is easy. In the passen-
ger rates there are only few classes
adults and children under ten years
old-the rate being fixed at so much
a mile on each of these two classes,
that ended the whole matter. Not so
with freights. The classifcations are
almost endless and increase with the
varied and changing products, manu-
lures, and inventions throughout the
country. Go into a railway depot
look at the schedule of freight rates
posted there, and study it for an hour
and see how much you know about it
at the end of that time. Yet that is
the very simplest schedule known
among railway people. They extend
into a maze of differentative complica-
tiOns. They are as complex as a
logarithmic table. 1t requires long
study and familiarity and experience
with these matters to understand
them, and the idea that because a
man is elected q member of the legis-
lature, he should suddenly be trans
formed into a railroad expert is ridicu-
lous.

that if the farmers of Texas will en-
dorse it they will gain point worth
the overthrow of the jute trust and
railroad commission ten times over.
acknowledgement Wheeler is well
known to the people and is highly es-
teemed by them; he has made no bid
for their support by pandering to their
prejudices, but he has formulated
platform that beats every body else's
and will be the salvation of the state
if carried out honestly and faithfully.
This platform is not formally promul-
gated, but was simply outlined by the
Acknowledgements in recent brief
interview, in which he said: "The
policy that our farmers have pursued
that of buying northern bacon and
lard when they can make just as good
themselves-is a wretched one anC
against their own interests. The
amount of money paid for these ar
ticles, if kept in Texas, would in few
wears add greatly to the wealth of the
state. | am glad to note that the
farmers in my section have at last be
gun to realize these facts, and thi
year large number of them who have
heretofore been buying all their sal
meats and lard will make their owl
bacon. There is grain enough il
Texas this year to fatten hogs for thu
entire state, and plenty to spare.
This is homely platform, but it ha
got "meat" in it.

Less Seutimentalism and More Sense.

Fort Worth Gazette: Hungarians
are returning to their native land from
the coal fields OF Pennsylvania, and
their places are being filled by negroes.
This is as it should be. There is no
need for importing European paupers
when 10, the poor African, is at the
door. If the philanthropy of the
north would assume any other shape
than political there would be less rea-
son for sentimentalism over the OPP
pressed on southern soil.

that holds Nagle guiltless.

The Tralnc " ould be Greater.

LAGRANGE Journal: 1t has always
been conceded that the government,
receives larger amount of revenue'
with low tariff than it does with az
high one. That being the case why
would not lower freight rates yield the
railroads a greater revenue than does
the present high rates? 1t would
seem with reduction the traffic would
be greater.

unmistakable evidences of prosperity
The corn crop is safe, and an unusu'

Cotton in some localities is back

fraternal peace, and the hum of undis-

and busy industries make business
busting.

THE assessment rolls of Chatham
county, Georgia, in which Savannah is
situated, have just been completed
and as they make distinction there
in property owned by the white and
colored people, it gives an idea of how
the latter are progressing as money
makers. Following are the figures OF
the assessment rolls:
Population. Property. Per head.
Whites . 7,494 $126.430,7S0 $3.50
ColOred 27,515 ST. $50 81
While the colored people own only
two per cent of the property, they
constitute over sixty per cent of the
population, and get more money for
their schools than do the whites who
pay the taxes, and yet they are not
happy.
