property as when the Democrats were in
control, but the extravaganza of the
Fusion Legislature will work a deficit
unless the people pay more taxes in
spite of the State Treasurer's refusal
to pay just claims due by the State. 1t
was in the hope of securing the CO.
operation of the county officers that the
meeting was called at Morehead. If
the sheriffs and county commissioners
will apply the screws, and use the law
imposing penalty for non payment of
taxes by September, deficit may be
averted this year. To secure such CO.
operation was probably the main object
of the gathering. 1t develops also that
some sheriffs will use the ''pay your
taxes or go to jail'' law as an cleo
tioneering scheme. The thorough-going
Democrats will be made to pay up under
tAC AulpiiCu at lcdSl, VI
the penalty the law prescribes for non
payment by September. The faithful"
and the ''foaters'' will be given a special
dispensation if the sheriff feels that such
course will contribute to his reelection,
for that is the chief end and aim of the
Fusion office-holder.
1t never happened before in North
Carolina that county officers could grant
special dispensations to violate the law
to favorites and apply it harshly to those
not of their political household. In the
old time when Democrats made the law,
they had to be enforced whether petty
officers wanted to enforce them or not,
and they bore equally upon all classes
Of men. Is it not dangerous power,
even if in an instance it serves a good
purpose, to let county officers determine
whether they will or will not carry out
the mandates of the Legislature?

DIDN'T WANT MUCH GOLD.

The present gold fever, and the state
ment of Mackcye that every gold pros
pector ought to have a thousand or
fifteen hundred dollars before starting
to the gold fields, recalls story Senator
Ransom is fond of telling to show how a
little satisfies some people. 1t was
during the gold fever in 1S4S that poor
farmer came to Warrenton to consult
the merchant with whom he did business
about going to California to dig gold
and get rich. The merchant seemed to
agree that it was: fine thing to do, and
told the farmer that it would cost him
five hundred dollars to get to California,
explaining that the quickest trip was
by water.
''Five hundred dollars to get there"
said the prospective gold digger "Five
hundred dollars just to go! Why, if L
had five hundred dollars l wouldn't want
to go. l wanted to go just to get $780,"

Mr.. GAGE DEFENDS TRUST.

Secretary Cages speech, full Of gilt
tering rainbow generalities, had; but ont
point in it. Surrounded by men who's
fortunes have been largely derived from
trusts and other illegal combinations, III
tickled their ears by a defense: of trusts
saying:
sWithin the limits Of half a life
time industrial methods and process
ses have been revolutionized; CON-
binations in labor, in trade. in manu-
factures have superSe1 led TO de-
gree the former processes af lndivld-
ual movement 1t is philosophical
to believe that they are all evolu-
tionary, tending to a final and
higher general good, but in their inn
mediate effects they produce incl
dental injury in many directions. Per
ceiving the injury, the hurt cry out
and cannot be persuaded that any
good can come out of so great an
evil Time will do much to restore,
and their natural laws everywhere
operating, will bring in: at last their
compensation"
When the ''hurt cry ont against the
new system of industrial methods Dy
which the necessaries 'of life are made
dearer in defiance of law that 4 few
may become rich, Mr.. Gage tells them
that time will do much to restore. and
the natural laws, everywhere operating
will bring in at last their cOmpensations.' y
This is about as near to relief as "the
forgotten man" gets when he depends
upon ap arty that believes the way to
make people rich is: to increase their
taxes and decrease the money in circula-
ton.

FACTS NEGATIVE RAINBOW PROMISES.

The telegraphic columns Of all daily
papers yesterday contained two items
from Boston that Jared on each other.
The first was an elaborate account of
the reception Of Secretary Gage by the
business men Of Boston. 1t was said
by Mr.. Gage "the storm has passed and
prosperity has come" This sentiment
was loudly applauded by those present,
among them we are told being Mr.. II.
Jefferson Coolidge, ex-United States
Ambassador to France.
The other item from Boston was as
follows:
Boston, Mass, July 27.-Hon. T. JEFF
ferson Coolidge, treasurer Of the Big
Amoskeage cotton mills of Manchester,
N. H., one of the largest plants Of the
kind in the world, says regarding the
shutting down of the mills, which was
announced yesterday:
"We have made up our accounts for
the first six months of the year and find
that we have made no money and have
not moved our goods, SO l have ordered
the mills closed for the month of Au-
gust at least
''The dividends of the Amoskeage
mills have been reduced during the past
twelve months. The closing of these
mills will affect about 5000 operatives u
The Gage statement was theory and
politics; the throwing out Of employment
of 5000 operatives was the stern neces
sity of business depression, and practical
working. After hurrahing over the pros
perity produced by the Dingley bill, does
anybody suppose Mr.. 7. Jefferson
Coolidge would have shut down his mil
if it was profitable to run it?
1t is just such facts as the closing o1
the Amoskeage mills that makes us tax,
Secretary Cages delightful optimism
with many grains of allowance.

President Mckinley was reported as
saying at Canton, Ohio, that "the pros
turn to prosperity very soon." And the
outlook for big cotton crop is excellent.
These two encouraging signs may enable
the people to pay the higher taxes inn
posed by the Dingley bill without bank
ruptcy. The President is right in seeing
that good crops mean "a return to pros
perity." High taxes and scarce money
take from the farmers part of the money
he ought to have for his crops

The New York World makes cencus
of the big cities to find out whether
prosperity has come to them, and finds
that fewer men are at work with less
wages than at this time last year. 1t
was cruel in the World to do this just
as President Mckinley was going off on
his vacation, after talking about ''re-
turning PROSPERITY"

'The Western Union can afford to
send telegram in North Carolina cheap
er than the government can do in any
of these countries. The State North
Cardinal has a much smaller area than
the several European countries, save
Switzerland and Belgium. 1t is Gnly one
fifth the size Of France, where the toll Is
only ten cents for all parts Of the country
When we consider, further, that yailroad
and all similar rates are cheapers in this
country per mile than in Europe, the nat
ural conclusion is reached that the West
ern Union can operate its lines more
cheaply here. Thus the North Carolina
Commission would not have been guilty
of any hardship had it fixed the rate at
ten cents instead of fifteen, but in giving
the latter rate it probably wished 20 pre-
vent the telegraph company from having
an excuse for the wretched staryation

"The action Of the North Carelin1
Commission is the beginning Of the good

HON. JAMES S. BEACON.


Sketch of the Republican Candidate
For State Treasurer.
Hon. James S. Beacon, of Westmore-
land county who was nominated today
for state treasurer, was born Dec 9. 1853,
in the county where he now resides He
is the son of Rev. II. c. Beacon, d. D..
a prominent member of the Pittsburg
conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church.
The subject of our sketch was graduated
from Washington and Jefferson college
In the class of 1880. After leaving col
lege he was principal of the Blairsville
academy f6f some time and while there
was the editor and proprietor of the
Blairsville Enterprise, then the leading
Republican journal in the southern part
of Indiana county He continued in his
position as editor of this paper until 1884
While acting as student and editor he
pursued a course of study in law, and
was admitted to the bar of Westmore-
land county in January, 1884. Since his
admission to the bar he has given his
whole time and attention to his profess
sion, and is now one of the leading and
most active members of a bar which
ranks among the very best in our state,
He was elected as a member of the
house of representatives in November,
1886, and served with ability during the
lican elected in Westmoreland county I'm
1888. For so years the Democracy had held
the county in its grasp, but when the ac-
tive young Republicans under the leader
ship of Beacon, Robbins, Brown, Peoples
and many Others took hold of the man
agement of the Republican party the
Democratic majorities rapidly disappear
ed, until now it is one of the safest Re-
publican counties west of the Allegheny
mountains. No one in the county has
worked harder and more dislnterestedly
Tor the success of the Republican party
than Mr.. Beacon. He was chairman Of
the Republican county committee in 1897
1883 and 1892, and in each year the entire
Republican ticket was elected.
He was a candidate for congressman
at-large at the state convention of 1896
but in the interest of party harmony he
retired and allowed the nomination Of
Hon. Samuel A. Davenport to be made
unanimous. He was delegate-at-large to
the national Republican convention when
met in st. Louis in June, 1896 He is ag-
gressive in his managGment of political
affairs and universally respected for the
manly way in Whieh he conducts his po-
litical campaigns He is a good LAWYER
and has a large and lucrative practtoa
Westmoreland is one of the Wealthiest
counties IN western Pennsylvania. Mr..
Beacon has the confidence and esteem
af his neighbaPs in a marked degree. He
has always been considered the friend OF
labpring men, and in his political aspirq-
lions has always received their loyal
support

Patrick Quinn, an aged resident of Girard-
willie, was found dead in the cellar of his
home at about 4;3O o'clock yesterday after
noon The deceased was over 20 years of
age and it is believed that death was due to
natural causes Two daughters of the
deceased keep boarding house at Atlantic
City. On Thursday last Quinns wife and
son went to spend ten days visiting the
daughters. Quinn said that while he
was left alone at home he would
put In time making an entrance
from the garden at the rear of the house to
the cellar. Circumstances indicate that the
old man died either late Monday afternoon
or that night, while engaged in the work
stated. He was found on his back upon a
pile of lumber in the cellar, his arms being
outstretched. In the right hand was a stone
masOn's hammer. HIS hat was on his head
and there were no indications of struggle.
To all appearances the man was at work in a
kneeling position when death overlook him
and he dropped hagkWaFda. A woman re-
siding next door says she noticed that the
door Of the house was open Monday night,
and again noticed it open at $3.50 o'clock yes
terday morning. 1t was not until yesterday
afternoon, however, that suspicious were
aroused and a search Of the house was made.
