Discrimination Against Farmers.
From the Kew York Herald 0nd.).

Few things since 1892 have created as
much hostility toward democracy among
all classes, and especially among the agri-
cultural class (Which contains almost 50
per cent. of all American voters) as the
class favortism shown in the Senate tariff
to manufacturers, while farmers were re-
fused such a trifling concession as free
barbed wire for fencing their fields. The
very least that can now be done for far
mers is for the Senate to pass promptly
places barbed wire on the free list Under
the Mckinley tariff wire valued at cents
or less per pound and used for fencing
was taxed clio of a cent per pound-a tax
which, reduced to ad valorem rates, varied
from "a to As per cent. These duties were
prohibitory. The revenue derived from
them last year was only 1920. The SEN
ate duty is practically prohibtory. leaving
farmers completely at the mercy of do
nestle manufacturers.

This Alabama Senatorship.
From the New York World Dem. }.

Under the constitution the Senate can
not interfere in the local politics of Ala
hama unless the form of the state govern
ment ceases to be republican. And since
this cannot be challenged, Mr.. Allen can
hardly cite as justification for interfering
the charge that there was a heavy white
majority against Oates which was over
come by stuffing into the ballot boxes the
uncast votes of thousands of negroes in
the black belt Even if every intelligent
citizen of Alabama is convinced that this
was done to elect Oates governor, it is
not the business of the United States Sen
ate. The people of Alabama are able
to take care of their own affairs The APP
peal from fraud committed against them
in state election lies to them and to
them only. 1t is safe to trust them to vim

Under the Ban.

Under the Ban.
The announ cement has been made by
Archbishop Corrigan of New York that
three secret societies. the knights of
Pythias, the Odd Fellows and the Sons
Of Temperance. have been put under the
ban by Pope Leo. The question of put
ting these societies under the ban had
been discussed for quite long time. No
conclusion had been reached for the rea-
son that these societies had their de-
Tenders among the archbishops. At ,Ae
meeting of all the archbishops of the
United States at Chicago in September.
1898, the objects and methods of these
societies were very carefully considered,
and a verdict in favor of their condemna-
ton was reached, but it is understood
that it was by no means a unanimous
one. The majority, however, held l4at
the societies were inimical to the Roman
Catholic church.
In each of these societies there are a
good many Catholics to whom two
courses are now left open, namely, either
to give up their church or to resign from
the societies. 1t is well known that the
Catholic church does not look with favor
upon secret societies of any kind.
The withdrawal of Catholic members
from the three societies would not seri-
ously impair the strength of any one of
them for the reason that the member
ship of each is largely made up of those
who are not Catholics. 1t is not expected,
of course, that the Catholic members
will be accommodated, but the under
standing is that the sacraments of the
church will be withheld from them until
they renounce their connection with
them. The Odd Fellows will take no
official notice of the decree, and it is
probable that the same policy will be
adopted by the other two societies.
Ducks were quoted yesterday at rs cents

A CHICAGO FIRE.

Forty Acres Burned Over IN the Lumbes
District-SeverzlL Lives Lost and Over 81, y
100000 Worth of Property Consumed.
CHICAGO, Aug. 2.-The lumber dis
trict of Chicago was last night visited
by one of the most disastrous fires in
its history and the loss will probably
foot up between 81. zoe, 600 and 81 $780,
600, although it will be twenty-four
hours before the damage can be esti-
mated with accuracy. The following
concerns were entirely cleaned out by
the flames, and everything contained
in their yards has been utterly de-
stroyed: S. K. Martin Lumber Co. /,
Brown & Richards Lumber Co., Wells
& French Co., car builders; Perley.
Lowe & Co., lumber; Shoemaker &
Higbee Lumber Co., John Spry Lumber
Co., Edward Hines Lumber Co., Con-
way & Co., cedar posts; w. C. p
Palmer, cedar posts; Whitcomb Cellar
Post Co., Liemens & Halske, manu-
facturers of dynamos.
The burned district is about six
squares from east to west and about
three from north to south. The great
est portion of the district, bounded by
Blue Island avenue, Lincoln street, the
river and Ashland avenue, was burned
over and forty acres of lumber yards
are now nothing but smoking embers-
Several firemen were injured and
two men received injuries which will
prove fatal.
