Dime-Museum Magazines.

Mrs. James G. Blaine, ir., testified
on the stand in Deadwood that n
magazine-publisher has offered her
$500 for an article on Marriage and
Divorce" That fact gives astartling
idea of the dime-museum plan on
which some of the alleged "leading
magazines" are run. The leading
competition between them is to get
articles, reviews, essays, anything of
any kind from people who are for the
time notorious. For the merit of the
article they care little or nothing.

ed to it. 1t happened not long ago
that a gentleman who had studied n
subject Tor forty years, who in that
time had written many hundreds OF
columns on it, who had exerted far
reaching influence in America, but
had preferred to do his work with
out securing notoriety, sent an arti-
Gle to aleading magazine. The editor
wished to publish it; it was timely,
he had seen nothing on the subject so
good, but he had engaged articles
from celebrities for months ahead,
and by the time they were used the
article from the genuine expert would
cease to be timely. That is the dime
museum plan.-St. Louis Republic.

THE ROCK OF CHICKAMAUGA.
BY JOEL SMITH.

BY JOEL SMITH.
No more the muskets roll is heard in the
fair and sunny South;
No more the charging columns reel before
the cannon's mouth:
No more the breastwork quick upcast with
brothers blood is red
For long the fruits of peace have grown
above the silent dead;
But memories of men return. that Justice
may appear,
Who labored when the branch of peace was
powder-b Drowned and sere.
And high within COlumbia's halls we place
spotless shield
The Rock that met the battle-surge on Chick
amauga's field.
Doubtless the soldier oft has fought that
battle 'er and Der:
Has seen McCoOk's disordered ranks like
driltwOOd cast ashore
And heard the rising thunder sound as when
the storm-clOuds bank,
Until the crash of battle fell on Thomas 5
front and flank:
Has seen the leader as he stood firm -brOwrd
and fearless then,
Amid that carnival of death that shook the
hearts of menl
-Oh, never soldiers stood so firm, the saving
sword TO WELD:
As the Rock of Chickamauga stood upon
that bloody field
God grant us peace and eyermore n brothers
friendly clasp
God grant our sonls deliveranCe from selfish
MammOn's graspl
Like NabaI of the curish heart that
spnrned his hero chief
We left the saviour Of our fields in sore
neglect and grief.
All, yet tine Nations heart will burn for
manhood is not lost,
That she should smite the Rock that turned
her foes DER whelming host;
And vet her noble volunteers, if pressed to
fly or yield,
by the . Rock of Chickamauga" will re-
claim the doubtful field
The round table of Brittany in glorious days
of old,
Was said to nourish valiant men until their
hearts grew cold;
And thus Columbia's fair renown heroic
Thomas drew,
Until he bowed his head in death, and cold
his pulses grew.
In battles wreck anchor strong, calmy
he sank to rest;
So let us calmy Judge the soul within that
silent breast,
And as the annals of the sword their doubt
ful glOries yield,
Give honor to the steadfast Rock of ChNka-
field. Christian Union.

COUNTY UNIFORMITY REDUCES IT
THE
PRICES OF BOOKS.

To the Editor OF THE ADVOCATE.
Please allow me voice In the question
Of uniformity OF text books through the
columns Of your valuable paper. Rocks
county adopted uniformity last year.
Our committee adopted the book in most
general use. The results of such adop-
tion are, reduction in the price OF 80
per cent We exchanged the rejected
books formerly In use at one-half the
value Of the books adopted, which, In
most cases, was more than they were
worth. Our teachers have accomplished
moro this year than ever before, which
result must come from having the uni
fOrmity. Then 1t is almoSt::lmposSible to
use to advantage course of study with
out uniformity of text books. It matters
not to me what the advantage may be to
the book companies, but / am satisfied
from one years experience that the best
interests Of our schools demand uni
1OrmlCy OF DOCKS. We have waited long
enough for the legislature to take action
on this matter. And il the legislature
should act, I am sure there would be
some favor shown to us by us having q
uniformity. II they should not, we have
not paid out any more for books this
school year than In any previous year.
Again, state uniformity Is getting farther
of every year, lnasmuCh as counties hav-
ing uniformity viii oppose any change TO
state uniformity, lest they be asked to
purchase new books. Yours for educa-
ton and reform, H. ]. LAMBERT,

Thousands Of COlOred People Coming to Kan.

From the Wichita Beacon.
"Wlchita ls being filled to overfowlnR

purpose Of voting the Republican rail-
road ticket at the coming election" )" was
the remark made in the hearing CT q
Beacon reporter last night by q promI-
nent real estate dealer on North Market.
When asked 10 give his authority FOX
such statement he said: "Go and see
for yourself. Go TO the different colored
boarding houses. Take walk about the
city up on Wichita, Water and other
streets. Have talk with the negro olmmi-
grants and then come out In the Beacon
and tell what you saw and heard"
On arriving at Falrvlew hotel on North
Main street it was found that this hos
tlery was doing an immense business.
Not only was the house filed but the
porch as well. Those on the porch were
principally women, the men being kept

were extremely shy.

MED the reporter on his rounds, some
thirty colored men came out. They said

THE ADVANCE IN COAL PRICES


From the Baltimore News.
The Republican party holds that trusts
are "lsrgely private affairs" In support
Of this view it passes protective laws TO
make such combinations practicable, and
is always ready to hold out q helping
hand to the monopolles whose numbers
and powers have so greatly increased
during the present administration.
That such combinations seriously az
feet the public interests Ia spite Of their
alleged private nature can be readily
seen from the recent advance In coal
prices.
The committee appointed by the state
senate Of New York to investigate the
Reading deal find that in lees than ak
months the average price of the grades
Of coal which they are examining has In
creased nearly 81 ton. Broken coal
has advanced 65 cents, egg S5 cents, stove
81, and chestnut S1.40.
The testimony further shows that the
figures now reached verge ON the prohibl-
tory line, so that q further increase is i'm
possible, simply because 1t would be
Improbable.
Mr.. Frederick E, Ssward, editor Of the
Coal Trade Journal, was one Of the wit
nesses examined. He could offer no ex-
PLANTATION of the advance in prices except
"the combintlon Of coal mines and rail-
roads,"
The thousands who burn stove coal,
will hereafter pay $3.50 instead of $3.50
ton for 1t, will be hard TO convince that
trusts are private In their effects Gt all
events, and that the party whose leglsla-
tion makes such combinations possible is
the party Of the people.
With one great prote cted Industry cut
ting down the wages Of its workmen,
while another great combination In the
same state advances more than % per
cent. the cost OF one Of the prime neces-
stiles of life, the laboring classes In the
great protectionlst state of Pennsylvania
do not seem to be reaplng the rich re-
ward of prosperity that is claimed az the
Inevitable result Of Republican rule.

LIABILITY TO DRPOsITORs.
From the Western Rural.

EIOAl bH0 WebbbCu nuIbls
Hon. E. s. Lacey, comptroller Of the
currency, has issued a supplemental re-
port Of the condition of the national
banks up to May II, 1899. The report is
made public under date of June 10. The
number of that class of banks Ia now
3,744. The total Of capital stock paid In
is $689,2Ss,15S. Among long lists Of
items which flourish hundreds of mill
ions and look on the surface like be-
Wlldering array Of evidences of wealth,
Is one item that ought to arrest the atten-
tion of every thrifty and economically
disposed citizen. This is especially true
since we are 80 necessarily enjolned to
place more ssvlngsin banks, and especial
ly In national banks, as safe repositories.
By means of falsely colored editorials in
the great dailles and sophisticated paid
articles In the influential magazines, the
masses are made TO believe that national
banks are safe repositories of money, be-
cause, as they falsely pretend, the nation
with q big N is at the back Of these
banks to make them safe. This deluslOn
must be dispelled before the people win
be made to see the necessity for a system
Of postal savings banks wherein the ma
tion HOiH be-not falsely supposed to be-
responsible for the safety Of money en-
trusted to their care.
The liability Of shareholders Is defined
in Section 5,15l, Revised Statutes. The
words are as follows:
The shareholders Of every national bank
ing association shall be held individually
responsible, equally and ratably, and not
one for another, for all contracts, debts,
and engagements of such association, to the
extent Of the amount of their stock therein,
ct par value thereof, in addition TO the
amount invested in such shares.
There are further proVions applicable TO
banks with paid in capital of not less than
five millions, but as there are few such, the
last name provision does not generally
apply. A comprehensive statement Of |
the provisions which do apply according |
to Section 5,151 as above, Ii this:
Where, as is by no means always true, all |
Che shareholders are solvent at the time Of the |
insolvency Of the bank Of which they are |
