The cotton seed oil trust has fixed
the price of cotton seed for the pres
eut year at four dollars per ton.
This gigantic corporation evidently
feels that it has the farmers in its
grasp, and ia determined to crash
the vely life out of them. The
farmers should combine against the
trust and resolve not to sell it a
pound of seed except at the prices to
be fixed by themselves. Cotton
seed is worth more than the paltry
sum of four dollars q ton to the
as a fertilizer. Let the cot.
ton producers combine against the
trust, and the trust will be the first
to capitulate.

and close on the heels of all these

we have particulars of numerous

in wages from 81 cents to rs cents.
This effort of the high proteclionists
and gold bugs to boom things will
certainly fail, and time will prove it.

The Golden Age q Superstition.

have compared only few of the con ditiops oi life at the present day with those of the past. The task would be too great, even if my knowledge were suffi
 cient, to strike the balance bet ween all those conditi )ns and 10 determine which were the most detrimental. Some con ditions are undoubtedly better and others worse than they were five, or two, or one century ago. Many of us, especially here in America, as is apparent to the most superficial observer, live in too much Of s hurry and under too great a strain. We should undouotedly be better off if xe led quieter lives, if we relaxed the tension under which we work, and if we went more slowly and took life more easily snd comfortably. Our life today is certainly more complex, but there is no reason for condemning it wholly in comparison with the past. The golden age is, after all, a mere superstition, and there is good req son for asking whether on the whole our social conditions are not today more favorable for mental and nervous health than they have ever been before. .--Dr. Philip c.

Western Copper Industries.

The mining of copper in the western states gives every indication of being pushed with more than ordinary vigor Ore deposits, both in California and Mon tana. are being vigorously exploited, and enterprises, backed with ample capital, are reported to be cropping up where re- munerative returns are in sight. In an interesting summary of these develop ments by the Chicago Journal of Com merce, the following are in evidence of the situation as 1t is at present. The Mountaio Mines company, of California, have expended 1 l.000 0)0s in developing their copper enterprise. Some POO men have been employed in building . rail road and getting the works at the mine in order. This company expects 10 ship sbou, l 900 tons of copper matte at inter. vals during month IL Is assumed that the gold and silver secured will cover ex- penses, thus making the copper clear profit. In Montana special efforts are being made to develop it's copper re- sources. that are said to be exceptionally rich. Enterpnse IS no longer restricted to the Butte district, which has already secured national importance as a min Ing center. Between Helena and Castle large deposits of ore are said to be in sight, and capitalists are purchasing land and securing options for purposes of de velopment. If indications are not alto Qether misleading, and reports but an ap proxi xinafion to the real facts, the future of Montana as a copper producer is as sured The famous Apsconda enterprise is well known the world over to all inter es,ed in copper production. The reduc ton works have com bined capacity of 5000 ious of pig copper per month, and the electroiytic refinery, with an ou'pu, Of I 800 tons of refioed copper per month, can be readily put in shape to double that capacity These facts, as given by our contemporary, are certainly in strong evidence of reyivipg enterprise in cop. per production in the great west.--Age oi Steel.

HERR BEiBEL'S DEFIANCE OF
MILITARY TYRANNY.
a Lieutenant Murders Workman. and
is Defended Amidst Hisses by
the Minister.

Berlin. Nov. 17.-Thc Chancellor Prince
HohenIohe, replying to the interpella-
ton of Herr August Munckel, Peoples
party, on the BrusewitZ incident OF Oct.
18th last when a lieutenant ran n sword
through n workman named Seibemann,
who had accidentally pushed against the
officers chair while entering cafe stated
that the military department was prepar-
ing new regulations with the object OF
limiting duelling as much as possible. The
chief change in the regulations as pro-
posed was that, il an officer insulted an
other the matter should be left to the de-
cision OF court OF honor, but the judg-
ment of the courts should never be word
ed in such n way as to make duel nee
essity, or even to imply the recognition
OF such means OF settlement OF dispute
Gen. Won Gosser, the minister of war
then addressed the house, dealing direct
~ with the Brusewitz affair. Lieut.
Brusewitz 1t was alleged killed the ci-
william because he believed that the honor
OF his uniform had been furnished by
the accidental pushing against his chair
by the workman. The officer was court
martialled and sentenced to four years
imprisonment and dismissal from the
army.
Gen. Gossler, amid constant Interrupt
tions, then went on to announce that the
judgment of the court martial had been
pronounced, but had not yet been sane
toned.
Continuing the minister OF war said
that the documents bearing on the affair
were to be submitted by imperial COM
mand to the Minister of War,and so soon
hn
published, together with the reasons
which prompted it, Gen. GOssler then
alluded to Herr Munckels "firebrand
speech" which caused a great uprOar in
the house. The minister then cited cases
of officers who had been grossly insulted
by unknown persons and he declared that
officers who have not a proper feeling of
military honor and a becoming sense of
the dignity OF their position deserve to
be gotten rid off"
The General further said:
THE honor attaching to wearing the
Kings uniform and respect for the colors
are military sentiments that we shall new
er abandon. The right of self-defense
must never be taken from officers"
loud protest.)
Herr Bethel, Socialist leader said:
How can it be said that who ever at
tacks the Kings uniform thereby insults
the King? In 1900, the King threat
ened with pain of death any military
man who flouted a civilian Things will
at last come to such pass that a uniform
of the Cuirasseurs guard will be sus-
pended like Gessler's hat and the people
will be required to make obeisance to
the empcror's horse. 1t is vain to endeav-
or by word from an august mouth to
bring the people to such a state Of fear
and trembling that they viii bow the
knee in silence. Success is so impossible
for views so Numerically opposed to ev-
erything, that he is the greatest fool who
is constantly trying to make them pre-
vail"

ALL ARE NOT FOR GOLD.

1t may be that the Populists have
pledged themselves to vote for Pritchard,
but no one has yet admitted it. On the
other hand, three Senators, Earnhardt,
of Rowan; Davidson, of Mecklenburg,
and Maxwell, Of Duplin, publicly declare
that they are under no pledge, or anything
that can be construed into a pledge. They
say they viii vote for none but silver
man.
