Editor Walker of the Stanton Pilot
though but nine year old boy when the
battle of Gettysburg was fought, was
within hearing of the firing of its heavy
guns, and witnessed the broken army
of the Confederacy in full retreat before
his fathers door. Few soldiers who have
served in our civil war of 80 odd years
ago, are better informed of the army
movements of that period, especially of
the troops of his native State than the
Stanton Pilots editor. He reads every
thing on this subject within his reach, and
what is of more moment-rememberss

Disuse. Not Over Supply,

The following article from the
Wichita Eagle was reproduced in the
editorial columns Of the Daily Mail of
June 5, 1895:
In the face Of figures to the contrary
the gold gobblers will persist in de.
claring that che shrinkage in the
price Of silver bullion comes of over
production. They seem TO be incapa-
BILE Of understanding that the law of
supply and demand may be effected
otherwise than by under and over pro-
ductiOn, or that use and disuse are as
effective factors in controlling prices.
There has been no over projection
Of silver as compared with CONNER.
cial development or increased pupu-
lation. Silver fell in price because OF
an enforced disuse. 1t is said, and it
is probably true, that horses are pro-
pOrtionately cheaper than any other
product Of the farm and have been
for two or three years. Statistics
show that there has been no over bro
duction OF horses. Facts. patent tn
everybody, disclose the reason for the
curtailed demand and consequently
low prices OF horses. The low prices
come principally OF disuse aud not
from over production. The disuse in
turn is directly tracable to the cable
and trolley cars and to the bicycle.
These combined cut the demand for
horses in two, or one-half, which fact
combined with the hard tines caused
the price of the horse to shrink by a
larger percentage than that of any
other product Of the farm. So the

County Attorneys Methods.

Daily Mail, 1885.
Now on April 5, 1895, there were no
witness fees or mileage due from
Sumner county to anybody. The
case of Hickman is a good illuStra-
tiOn. Woods bill shows that on
April 6, 1895, he paid E. L. Williams
$50 for Hickman as witness against
Talbot. The case against Talbot was
set for trial on April s, 1895. Rick
man did not arrive in Wellington un-
til April IS, 1895, as is shown by the
district clerks records. When he got
here it was found that he would make
an excellent witness for the defense
but a mighty bad one for the state.
So he was taken. to the district
clerks office where he made claim
for one days attendance as a witness
for the state and for 27O miles travel,
aggregaJing $3.50. He was then
hustled out of town for fear the
defense would get hold Of him and
use him as a witness. This is one
example Of the manner in which
Mr.. Woods reduced the expenses of
this trial. Had Hickman been sub
poenaed after he arrived at yelling.
ton, which was not done, he would
have been entitled to $3.50 bnt no
more. As it was he was not entitled
to a penny. And if he is to be believed
he never got cent either. He has
written two letters here since, in
which he inquiries when his fees will
be allowed by the county and makes
the positive statement that he has
never got cent out of the cash that
was promised him for attending the
Talbot trial.
Neither party fealty nor personal
friendship should prevent the expos
ure Of such practices and so far as the
Mail is concerned, they will not. We
shall have more to say on this subject
and others Of a similar nature in sub.
seQuent issues, particularly on the
county treasurer's incidental expense
