IL is desirable that the prices of do.
nestle products should remain uni.
form, and that they should be so high
as not to justify a feeling of unrest in
the operatives, or fear of impending
disaster in the investors of any voca.
ton. Such an industrial adjustment
should be secured as would equalize
the surplus annual product of all voca.
items. That is to say, the ordinary
demand for their consumption should
exhaust the products of all vocations
as nearly as possible in equal times.
Such condition of industrial and
financial equipoise can never be at
tanned while our markets are exposed
to the disturbing effects of an alien
competition, or while the interests of
our producers are exposed to the vi.
cious assaults of the whims and the
sophistries of our non-producing free
trade politicians.

The question of Road Improvement
is the most important of any before
the American people. There is no tax
that is more oppressive or that is ex-
pended so injudiciously. More money
is lost to the people of this country
every year by poor roads than from
any other source. II is not so much a
question how to produce an article as
how to get it to the best market. 1t
has been demonstrated by indispu,.
able facts and figures that it costs in
the majority of cases more to get a
crop to market than to grow it on the
farm; more to get an article to its ul.
innate purchaser than to manufac-
ture it.
This being the case anything that
tends to educate the people not only
to realize the importance of this ques-
ton but shows them how to improve
and better the present system and
save the money now lost, is of the
greatest Importance.
We are glad an effort is being made
TO secure a comprehensive road ex-
hibit at the Worlds Fair and that a
bill is now pending in Congress to pro-
vide for this exhibit. The passage Of
this bill will result in the saving of
millions of dollars annually and we
hope every one of The senators and
representatives from this state will
! vote for it.

A continuation of heat during the
past week, with occasional showers in
the north part of the state, is bring
ing forward corn, potatoes and tobac-
co, and they are rapidly making up
for the backward conditions of spring.
1t would have been better if showers
had been more numerous In the south
ern half of the state, but on the whole
the weather conditions have been
nearly perfect for the farmer. The
great storage of moisture during May
and June can now be utilized by fire..
quent cultivation with great adyan-
tage to the growing crops.
Fine haying weather has prevailed
and the greater part of large crop is
now secured. after having been prop.
erly cured by abundant sunshine.
Some damage is reported from rust,
but it is not thought to be serious, and
winter and spring wheat. rye and bar
ley, and oats promise well. Harvest
in wheat, rye and barley is just begin
ming.
Early potatoes are being dug and
are of good quality. To-day the pota-
to crop promises well.
Tobacco is growing rapidly, has an
excellent stand. and gives promise of
good leaf development.
Marsh hay in most places is not
yet ready to cut.
The average amount of rain which
should fall during the past week is
about .65 of an inch. The actual fall

American Citizens.

Years ago, girl Of ten. striving al
ways for the real meaning of things,
asked her teacher, as the class wres-
tied with the eloquence of Everett
and Webster in the Fifth reader,
why do they say: men thought.
men hoped, men feared weren't
there any women thenl "Men is used
in the sense of people, and includes
men and women" "Who used it so
first and why didn't the person say
women and say that meant both?"
You ask too many questions was
the reply. Then again reading Jack
sons appeal to South CaroIinians"
"giving to all her inhabitants the
proud title of American citizens. :"
The teacher was again questioned.
why is it grand to be an American
citizens" The teacher replied, IAN
American citizen can take part in
government" "How.' "By voting. 4"
But women cannot VOTE Ger
tainly not. "'Then all the inhabi-
tants can not have the proud title of
American citizens" That little girl
did not then realize that the ques-
tions which puzzled her so. were ques-
tions over which the supreme courts
of different states were to be exer.
cised, trying to decide in Minnesota
whether women were Inhabitants and
in Massachusetts if they were persons,
and finally in the supreme court of the
United States whether they were citi-
zens. Could she have foreseen that
they were to be decided by that high
tribunal to be citizens, she knew so
little of precedent, and pure mascu-
line reasoning unadulterated by wom-
anly intuition" that she had been
favored also with foreshadowing of
the platform of '92, she would have
clapped her hands with childish exul-
tation over such sentence as this

United States shall be allowed to cast

The more the new gerrymander is
studied the more its disregard for the
supreme court decision is made mani
fest. The injunction that compact
ness of territory and approximate
equality in population should be re.
garded, was wholly disregarded.
Some Assembly districts have nearly
if not quite double the population of
others. This means that two electors
in one district have only the same
voice ia the law making of the state
that one has in another district.
Such a condition is revolutionary of
the whole idea of popular government;
it goes deeper than laws or constitu-
tions. it invades the realm of human
rights and overthrows the principle
on which they stand, namely, the
equality of men. That this iniquitous
measure will be overthrown there is
scarcely any doubt Whitewater Reg
