Morgan. Can't we do something to
pull him out CT his hole?"
So they wrote letters, did the officers,
to Morgan's wife's relatives, setting
forth how brave and deserving and I'M
fortunate he was, and that something
must be done for those children. It's
ell well enough in the eyes of ones
wife's relatives to be brave and deserv-
ing, but they have no use for man
who is unfortunate. In fact, if he is
only fortunate they care very little
how brave he may be, and less for his
deserts. Robert answered the coloners

said they had already been put to much

WORK OR NO PAY.
Decision of Judge Randolph Which Affecti
Teachers in Kansas.


Teachers in Kansas.
EMPoRIA. Kan, Dec. 31.-In district
court Saturday Judge Randolph gave
his decision on the injunction prayed
for to stop the board of education pay
ing salaries to teachers for Thanl>sgiv-
ing day, and gave the day after that
being the Thanksgiving ordered by the
board. The injunction is made per-
petual, Judge Randolph deciding that
the teachers are not entitled
to pay for such days. He
said that the law of the state ap-
plying to common schools which defines
a school month as ''four weeks of
five days each" was binding on schools
in cities of the second class, and the
board had no authority to pay teachers
for time when not actually at work.
This decision will cause considera BILE
excitement in other cities, as every city
in Kansas but one follows the rule of
paying teachers for Thanksgiving day,
Memorial day and other holidays or
dered by the board.

The Turkish Atrocities.

CoNsrANTINoPLE, Dec. 31.-It now
seems definitely settled that the United
States minister, Alexander Terrell, does
not intend to send anybody to make an
independent inquiry into the stories
told of Turkish atrocities in Armenia.
The motive of this decision, it is be-
lieved, is probably because an inquiry
is not necessary, in view of the fact
that the powers signatory to the Ber-
lin treaty, particularly England. are
supervising the inquiry which is being
made On behalf Of the Turkish govern

How the Benefit of Cross Roads is
Assessed.

How the Benefit of Cross Roads is
Assessed.
-
Editor AstordAn:-
Allow me space to give my Views on
the Cross law. There seems to be
several opinions advanced and som
are Of the opinion THAT the
upder the law win fall equally upon
the land adjacent to the road. Now the
law says ''they Cthe vtewers) Shall upon
actual view of all the lands within
three miles of the improvements, ad-
portion the estimated costs, expenses
and damages upon an the said lands
Within said three miles that are bene-
fitted, according Ito the benefits to be
derived therefrom."
Now, supposing that you improve the
road from Oney Ito Astoria under the
Cross law. Will any court say that
the land lying on THE other side of
Young's river shall pay the same as
those living along the road that will
be travelled by them? Certainly not;
because the people living on the other
side Of Young's river have a highway
of their own, and would pay only for
for what benefit they would derive
from the road. And If the law means
anything 1t that those that are
benefited must pay for the road.

SILVER AND FARM PRODUCTS.


Now that the crusade TO commit the
National Democracy to free silver has
been started, THAT old lunacy that sill
yer characterization ds the cause Of the
reduction in the price Of farm products
is being brought TO the 'FRONT.' again.
As the st. Louis GlobeID emocrat points
out. some of the most Important farm
products have risen in price at the
same time that silver has been going
down. For example. corn, which
brought 1913 cents a bushel in the New
York market In 1879, commanded 500
cents in 1894, the prices mentioned be-
ing the average for the years named.
For oats the average Of the earlier
year was 81 cents, and of the later
S12 cents. The game hard which sold
for 6.62 cents in 1879 brought IT'S cents
In 1894. and the pork which in 1879 was
sold for $9.SS was In 1894 up at the s1i.t3
mark. These are figures presented in
the Statistical Abstract, which is pre-
rarsd by the bureau of STATISTICS at
Washington. The year 1870 Is selected
here for comparison because THAT was
ibhe year In which specie payments
were resumed by the treasury.
During a time in which silver has
been rapidly declining-for its average
price was $1.12 in 1879, and only about
So cents In 1s94-corn, oats, lard and
pork have advanced. Consequently IL
the decline In silver has sent wheat
and cotton down 1t must have sent
corn, oats, pork and lard up. The
relation between silver and both sets
OF FARMERS products must be the same,
n There be any relation ait all. II sill
YER characterization is responsible for
the changes On the prices of agrlcul.
tural products 1t must operate in op-
posite directions at the same time. II
u does. then Ut has not been a very
bad thing for the farmer, for all that
ne ffas lost on wheat he has made up
h Immensely more important pro-
iuct, corn. and the advance in pork,
ard and oats puts a nice balance ON
right side of his profit and loss ac-
,ount.
The truth Is, OF course, the so-caned
diver decentralization has had nothing
o do with tuhe changes IN the prices OF
hese products. Ut dld not send wheat
lown or corn UP. The fluctuations in !
upply and demand in each article are :
he chief causes of the change in price. !
Wheat, corn, pork ana the rest OF the I
ommodities rise and fam without any
