PIRATICAL EXPEDITION
To Seize Property in Mexico Now
In Litigation.


New YORK, Sept. PA special
to the Herald from Washington
says: The government has been
called upon to stop an alleged
piratical expedition in the Pacific
Senior Romero, Mexican min
lister, informed the state depart
ment that the Mexican consul in
San Francisco had reported to him
that the four-masted schooner Sa-
tana was being fitted out in Oak
land, to carry an expedition to
Lower California to forcibly take
possession of property in that
region claimed by Friers & Beth
une, the title to which is now in
litigation. This information was
sent to the treasury department,
and Acting Secretary Hamlin sent
a telegram to the collector OF GUS
toms in San Francisco directing
him to see that the neutrality laws
are not violated in any way by the
schooner.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER q, '95

The Terrell school board have
taken the cigarette by the hot end
and handled it without gloves. By
a recent act of that body all cigar
cite smoking by the scholars is
prohibited while under the control
of the school regulations. For the
first offense the penalty is suspen-
sion until consultation with the
parents, when with the coopera-
tion of the parents to secure COM
pliance with the orders of the
board the pupil may be re-
stored to his classes. Suspen-
sion until the school board
acts upon the case, is the penalty
for the second offense. The third
is met with absolute expulsion.
Talk about Texas being wild and
woolly. Here is an example for
the effete east with the bark on.
If half that has been said about
cigarette smoking is true, in its
pernicious effects uponj health,
then should the Terrell school
board have the commentator of a
suffering country. There is not on
top OF sod more intolerable nuis-
ance than the cigarette in Ithe lips
of school kid.

ILLINOIS TAX CROOKS
Bureau of Labor Makes Very Grave
and Sweeping Charges.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Sept. 24.-
The most sensational report ever
issued by state bureau has been
made public by the Illinois bureau
of labor statistics. 1t charges that
the great majority of the wealthy
Taxpayers of Illinois, and more
especially of Chicago, are perjur-
ers; that the assessors are guilty
of malfeasance in office; that the
present financial condition of Chi
cago is directly traceable to the
corrupt system of taxation, and
that the "deplorable condition of
workmen is due to the liberty de-
stroying methods of taxation
which prevails in Illinois,"
The report is made up of a mass
of tables compiled from official re-
ports of assessors, banks, real es-
tate transfers, boards of equaliza-
ton and the various municipalities
to which the agents of the bureau
had access. After declaring that
it is the purpose of the report to
expose existing methods of taxa
tion in Illinois, with special refer
ence to their effect upon labor in
terests, the report proceeds to re-
view the work of former bureaus.
The stand is taken that it is idle
to dwell upon the wages and con-
ditions favoring wage earners OF
the state. The bureau contends
that their condition "is proved by
evidence so clear and abundant
that the collection of any further
statistics merely go to prove it
would be wasted effort"
The bureau takes the position
that "taxation is the chief instru-
ment of tyranny"

Investigating Tammany officials.

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-Seth L
Terrey and Rodney 5. Dennis,
commissioners of accounts, have
begun their first public investiga-
ton under the law passed by last
winters legislature, appropriating
$1,000 for the use of the city's
regularly authorized investigating
committee in the work of showing
up the alleged irregularities in the
conduct of the business of several
municipal departments under the
late Tammany administration. The
commissioners began with the dock
department, as conducted by Presl-

gave him the power of removal

SOME CORN FIGURES.

That immense corn crop that is
boasted OF in Texas does not reach
an estimated mark Of 100,OOO,OO0
bushels, while Kentucky, Indiana,
Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas,
and Nebraska all range largely
in excess of that figure. Iowa
leads the procession with an esti-
mated crop of 1923, l67, 900; Kansas
comes next with 272,245,00O; Mis-
souri, is 2O,0OO,0OO short of Kansas,
and Illinois only 100000 below
Missouri; Nebraska is the only
other state in which the yield
reaches above the 200,000,000
mark, with 22,643,OOO to her credit.
Ohio and Tennessee are the
only other states that are
in it and these crowd Texas pretty
closely. The crop Of last year
was a failure in the great
corn states and the comparative
statistics are quite suggestive.
Iowa jumps from 81 millions to 1923
millions and Nebraska from Ii
millions to 220 millions, while Kan
sas reaches 272 millions from a
yield Of Al millions for the pre-.
vious season. Texas increases her
yield ~ millions, being credited
with 92,6O2,000. Thus it will be
noticed that Texas has abundant
room to grow before coming into
the ring. Several of the states
have fallen off in production from
last year, but the amounts are 80
small that they cut little or no
figure. The entire yield for this
season, as compared with last, is
virtually doubled, the figures for
1894 standing 1,2l2,770,294 and
those for this season 1871, 900.
There may be some changes In
these figures when the crop is actu-
ally harvested, but the season is suf-
ficiently advanced to make fair
estimate upon crop and the above
may be taken as approximately
correct. Texas has added forty
per cent to her yield for 1894 and
she can very proftably keep on
adding each year until she reaches
yield Of 2OO,OOO,OOO bushels. This
will give her corn to feed and corn
to sell, but even at these figures
she will not need to send a bushel
beyond the borders of the state
only as she does so in beef and
pork. The number of swine in
this state might be multiplied four
fold with profit to every piggery
in the state. Corn in hogs aud
corn instead Of cotton, these will
solve to large extent the problem
Of successful general farming in
Texas.

It is instructive to comparel th

It's Instructive to compared the
wage rate Of the country at this
time with what it was when the
war between the states broke, ,,out,
thirty-five years ago. In that. time
the average wages of operatives in
this country has doubled, and yet
all that enters into the comfort Of
living is little or no dearer than it
was then, and in much that is
used in the family Of the average
workman the price is lower. This
at once answers the question as to
whether the rich are growing
richer at the expense OF the
poor, who are declared by
the socialists to be contin-
ually growing poorer. The fact
is that the workman and farmer OF
today would not accept Of the life
conditions that were the lot Of his
class thirty.five years ago. Ths
savings Of the average family ma,
not be much in advance OF wha
they were then, but the condition.
Of living are better by half. TIL,
workman is coming in to his in
heritsnce Of better things from
year to year as certainly as tn

See the Results of the Potato Plan.
There is legless farmer in Washington.
He is colored man named George w.
Smith, and he tills the soil near his resi-
dence in Shot alley northeast. He rents a
moderate amount of land aid raises gar
den truck on 1t. He Is now viewing with
the greatest satisfaction the green tops
coming through the earth, which are the
result Of potato seed and beans furnished
to him by the charity committee of the
board of trade, and planted with due re-
gard to the dark of the moon and other
astronomical phenomena necessary to a
proper pursuit Of agriculture.
Smiths potatoes and beans are not the
only ones which are ser ding green shoots
above the suTface of the ground. Many Of
the poor men who took advantage of the
offer of assistance made by the charity
committee now nave their crops in sight,
TO procure fruitful harvest On the lots
on Columbia road donated by Mr.. Dana
the charity farmers are well satisfied with
the appearance of the potatoes and beans,
tions. So far about 100 persons have ap-
Piled for assistance under the potato plan

have planted potatoes and beans No moro
potato seed will be issued after June 20 as
after that 1t will be too late to plant. Next
Wednesday the distribution Of cabbage
plantS VIII begin, and in August turnip
seed will be given out. The members of
the committee express themselves as well
satisfied so far with the experiment, and
say the expense will be very limited. Many
applications continue to be received at the
committee rooms on 9th street near G by
MIR. Donnelly, who Is in charge of them,
and land owners also continue placing their
property at the committees disposal.

RAIN SAVED THE SENATORS.
The Reds Were in the Lcnd-NOtcs of

A mighty yell Of joy went up from the
2,OO0 people at the ngton-Cincinnati
game yesterday wher, during the last half
of the fourth inning, the rain came down
in such volume as to not only interrupt
play, but also to put the grounds in such
condition as to make resumption OF the
game impossible. The score then stood D
to in favor of the visitors. and as they
were proving themselves very partial to
the delivery Of Anderson, and the home
players had found that Of Rhines prac-
tically unsolved problem, 1t is more than
probable that the rain saved the Washing
ton club from defeat. Mr.. Wagner secured
another long hit in the estimation of the
public by giving out rain checks, although
three innings mad been played

Buck Ewing suggests a scheme for the
selection of an umpire when the regular
man doesn't show up. Instead of having
two players from the two teams officiate,
which often results in trouble, he would
have one of the home players act as UNI

Louisville is after one of Cincinnati's
catchers. but the cash offer made was not
large enough TO tempt Captain Ewing.
Business Manager Bancroft will go back
to Cincinnati today and Treasurer Lloyd
will join the club in Washington. Pitcher
Phillips will accompany Mr.. Bancroft home.
Washington consequently will not see its
crack pitcher of 1890.
Pitcher Mark Baldwin has a kick with

weeks in Pittsburg on the Won der Abe
case and because Pottsville refused to pay
him for that time he declines to play.
