So MUCH has been said in regard to
the eXtortion that will be. charged at
the Worlds Fair that President Hig-
genbothan has seen fit to publish card
denying that such will be the case. He
says that drinking water will be free,
that seats will be, free, and that there
will be no charge for entering toilet
rooms. Also, that fifty cents will entitle
a person to see everything inside the
gates except the Esquimaux village and
the cliff dwellings. But the mere matter
of charges for admission is not the most
important item. There is no doubt that
the cost of board will be very high.
Everything indicates that the great
majority of the people of Chicago are
determined TO charge prices which will
be far in excess of value given in return.
Any one going to the Fair will need to
have their pockets well lined with green
backs, and there is no certainty that
they will be allowed to bring home their
clothing.

THE local elections throughout Ohio
on Monday, were as usual somewhat
mixed, the result depending on the
political complexion of the community
The result, however, is on the whole
gratifying to Republicans. Cincinnati
elected the entire Republican ticket
with exception of Superior Court Judge
by maiorities ranging from 5000 tc
5000. The Superior Court Judge nom
mated by the Democrats was supported
by the Tribune and anti-gang Repub
licans and he was elected by about 60C
majority.
Owing to the fact that two Repub
lican tickets were in the field Cleveland
elected a Democratic Mayor, bat all the
other officers were saved to the Repub
licans.
Toledo elected the entire Republican
ticket.
In Columbus the result was mixed
the present Democratic Mayor being
reelected, but part of the other officers
were captured by Republicans.
Canton chose a Republican Mayor
the first for many years.
Steubenville elected the straight Re
publican ticket by large majorities.

In the general practice Of spraying
lies, more than anything else, the pros
perity OF the horticulturists of this coun-
try. Every worthy consideration sp-
peals for the increase of the production
Of fruits; the public health and hsppi-
ness would be promoted and prosperity
and good citizenship would be increased,
by such an advance in fruit growing as
spraying may secure, by such an album
dant fruitfulness Of our orchards and
vineyards as would follow the destruc-
tion OF insect pests and fungus diseases.
Hence, spraying appeals to us, not only
on account Of self interest, not only on
the lower but proper grounds OF individ-
usl prosperity, but as we'll on account Of
the happiness Of the masses and the true
greatness Of our country. More and
better fruit means better men and
women. The harvest Of the tree and Of
the vine betters the character of him
that makes possible that harvest, as we'll
of him that OF it eats. More fruit and
less meat would usher in a higher civili-
zatien. The divine wisdom has never
erred; when it indicated that to tend the
vine and the trees, and to eat Of the
fruit thereof is mans proper estate on
this earth, and most conducive to his
happiness and well being, it was right;
and to-day, as then, fruit growing is the
best and the noblest Of the vocations of
men.
Will it pay? is naturally the first ques
tion that presents itself for answer in
any consideration Of spraying. This
question is the univ ersal touch-stone
If it pays to spray, we want
to know it, that we may adopt this
method OF fighting insects and fungi,
and get our share of the financial re-
ward. IL it does not pay to spray, we
want to know it, that we may not be led
into an Improbable undertaking. We

Special Privileges in Regard to Land.

A. DtS Anb 1S HunCAouU W@AL L@AV AOA VA@
motto, worthy to be engraved over the
portal Of every hall Of legislation in the
American government, Equal rights to
all, special privileges to nome" There
is no more democratic doctrine than
this.
To give men equal rights ia not to give
them equal portions Of land, nor pOr-
tions Of land Of equal value; neither is it
to divide up the wealth that one has pro-
duced or accumulated among those who
may be destitute Of such wealth.
All men have an equal right to the use
OF the earth. To secure them this right
is the greatest problem Of democratic
government. The government that fails
to secure il is 80 far undemocratic, for it
allows special privileges in the earth to
some which it denies to others.
I have a natural right, not to q living,
but to earn q living. In order to do this
/ must work in the employ Of some cne
else or apply my labor directly to the
land. II no one were willing to employ
me | should be reduced to the latter al
Tentative, but though should find all
the land already owned by others l should
still have my right to earn living. No
one is under any obligation to hire me,
therefore q law which permits owner
ship in the earth in effect takes away my
natural right to earn living and conse-
quently my right to life itself. Men San-
not take away my right Of access to the
earth, 1t cannot be sold, or given away
from me. Laws may be made and we
are all now living under them, but no
number Of men has right to make such
laws.
II every foot Of the surface Of the earth
were sold or given by individuals or
government to q certain number Of per-
sons the next child that was born would
nevertheless have an equal right to the
earth with those who preceded him, and
no selling or giving on the part Of others
could deprive him Of it, / know Of no
law, however, that recognizes this right.
Our existing laws are the source OF
special privileges in land, and this, take
it, 10 the bottom reason why we have
100000 millionsires and 100000
tramps, and why very large proportion
of the population Of every city is ground
down by the iron heel Of a degrading and
hopeless poverty.
A tariff is essential injustice, but q
law permitting private property in that
which is furnished by the Almighty free
and common to all more than injustice;
Il is essential murder. Laws that permit
the original resources Of nature to be
held as private property are worse than
all tariff laws, for while the latter de-
range the just and natural distribution |
Of wealth already created, the former
destroy all just and natural relations be-
tween man and the fountain Of life itself.
To embody in law every mans equal
right to the soil it is not necessary to
divide up land; it is not necessary to dis
turb any mans title to land or his per-
manent occupation and possession Of it,
it is only necessary that every man hold
ing land should pay as his tax to the
state what the annual value Of his land
is, irrespective Of improvements.
Under this system there would be no
such thing as buying or selling land

Bandits Who Got Nothing.

SAN ANTONIO, TEX, June 30.-An Arkansas
Pass passenger train, consisting of three
day coaches and an express car, was the
scene of bold attempt of daylight rob-
berry.
At Breckenridge the train was stopped to
take water and as she pulled out three men
boarded The blind baggage, but so guarded
The train had just entered a sharp curve a
few hundred yards from the tank: when a
robber climbed upon the tender and with
pistol in each hand, threw his guns down
upon the engineer and fireman.
"Throw up your hands," said the robber.
Engineer Tierney obeyed the order, but
Fireman Martin made movement as though
he was about to draw a pistol and was shot
and killed.
The other two train robbers, when they
saw the dead body fall, jumped from their
position on the baggage car platform and
made for the brush.
There were but twelve passengers on the
train, and each was armed with six shooter.
When they heard the firing they rushed upon
the platforms, and as the two robbers rushed
into the brush volley was fired into them.
May, who had killed Martin, then followed
his partners.
Conductor Steele rushed up to the engine,
jumped into the cab, and cutting loose from
the train, started with Messenger Butler and
Engineer Tierney in pursuit of the train
robber. The engine gained every moment
on the robber, who would turn and fire at
his pursuers as he ran. Finding he could not
reach the bridge over the river. where his
Winchesters and three pals awaited him, the
robber left the track as the engine was al
most upon him. The engine was brought to
a standstill and Conductor Steele started
after the robber single handed. He chased
him into the brush, firing as he went. The
three robbers who were at the bridge with
Winchesters commenced firing at the con-
ductor, and their volleys were returned by
the engineer and messenger.
Conductor Steele overhauled the robber
and disarmed him of his pistols.
The robbers at the bridge then disappeared,
leaving their Winchesters behind.
Conductor Steele will receive the $1,000
standing reward of the state for the capture
of train robber.

London Basis Down to IS
Cents an Ounce.

LONDON, June 23-The secretary of state
for India announced in the house of COM
mons that the Indian council had passed an
act to stop the free coinage of silver. and tc
make gold the base of Indian currency.
WAsH1NGToN.-The market price of silver
has reached the lowest point. Based on the
London rate the rate in New York is down
to 1873 cents an ounce. This is due to the &C
ton of India, which is controlled by the
home government of England.
Secretary Carlisle repaired Immediately to
the White house upon receipt of the silver
news and spent the rest of the day in consul
tation with the president: and, later, accom-
panied Mr.. Cleveland to his suburban resi-
dence, where most of the night was spent
upon the same subject. Nothing has trans
pired as to the gist of the talk between the
president and the secretary of the treasury,
further than that it may be said that the stu
alton does away with the necessity of recon-
vening the international monetary confer
ence, which was to have met again at Brus-
sells this fall.
NEW YoRK.-Business opened with general
depression on account of the action of India,
which is universally believed to have been
taken with express orders of the English
government.
DENVER, CoL.-Silver producers of Colo
RADIO declare that they can no longer operate
silver mines and come out even. The only
chance to do so is TO reduce the wages of
miners from So to 50 day, and this is not
likely to give profit. This effects not only
the thousands of men at work in the mines,
but every trader and every business interest

FoRr GIBSON, /. T., June 29.-The most
important suit ever filed in the United States
court for the Indian territory is that of twen-
ty-three Cherokee Indians against the Cher
okee nation. 1t is understood the case will
come up in the shape of suit in partition.
asking for an equal and just division of what
is known as the public domain or common
property of the Cherokee nation. The suit
has been instituted at Muskogee, before
Judge Stewart.
The main cause for action is the fact that
under the existing laws governing the Chero-
KEGS there is no way by which Cherokee
can withdraw from his tribal organization
and have his portion of the Cherokee estate
set aside for his own individual use. The
laws of Arkansas, which apply alike to the
Indian territory, make it possible for two
or more persons equally interested in one
estate to petition the court asking for suit
in partition, to the end that equal and just
division of all real and personal property
may be made. 1t is under the provisions of
this law that twenty-three Cherokees hope to
break away from land in the common sys-
tenn and take their share of the Cherokee
country as individuals. Should the court
hold that the Arkansas laws apply to real
estate here the same as in Arkansas, the re-
suit will be far reaching.
