Nothing in bloom, and no farm
work of account done: and yet we are
close to the middle OF April. Muddy
fields, and roads, and murky skies,
have been the rule for two months or
more. The rains have not been so
excessive as to do much damage by
floods in our streams, but they have
kept the ground too wet to work, and
the roads in exerable condition.
Wheat must be counted a failure
here. With an abundance of corn
spelling in the weather, farmers will
have to put in more than usual, or let
their land lay idle. Many are going
to SOW oats; but it is getting late for
that. Times are so bad that farmers
are employing less help than usual.
Prosperity has struck but one man
here so far. He found three coons
and a swarm OF bees in one tree.

Dangerous Accomplishments.

mischief will result" says the
Minneapolis Tribune, ''from our young
women being taught in the manual
training schools how to drive nails and
use saws, planes and knives in the
making of boxes, cabinets and such
things" When these young women
marry, such things may imperil their
domestic happiness.
While man may be willing to con-
eede his wife's superiority in ethics,
art and even in literature, and may
even be proud of it, when it comes to
practical things he wants to be looked
up to. From time immemorial there
has been a condition that woman can
not drive a nail; that in attempting
this impossible feat she is more apt to
lacerate her own fingers than the
board or wall which is the object of
attack.
"When lovely woman throws a stone
A contumacious hen to scare''
the safe place for all in her vicinity is
to stand near the hen. These are
more than old JOKES. They have at
tanned the dignity of saws, maxims
and self-evident truths. In them
lordly man finds his coign of vantage
over the weaker sex. To train wo-
mans hand and eye to steadiness and
accuracy in these matters might lead
to undreamed of domestic calamities.
If the new woman happens to possess
these once incomprehensible accom-
plishments, the less parade she makes
of them the better; that is, unless she
wants to stay unmarried, or, being SO,
Graves a divorce.-K. G. Times.

ct with 800. 600, 900 worth of sugar
produced by American farmers, there
by saving the vast sums now sent
abroad annually to pay for imported
sugar.
This is all very we'll. But it appears
that the Sugar Trust is going to have
something to say in the matter. Beet
sugar factories offer a great induce
ment to capital, and beet growing is
profitable to the farmer if a factory is
at hand to take his crop. But the Su-
gar Trust is not going to sit idle while
outside capital and labor encroach
upon its field. 1t is now engaged in
buying up the principal beet sugar fac
tories in California. What it will do
with these factories may DO judged
from the tate of the great Belcher re-
fnery in St. Louis. The Chino factory,
the chief among those which the Trust
is after. pays 800, 900 in wages a year.
The Trust will probably close it.
In booming the sugar beet industry
while leaving the Sugar Trust unmo-
Tested, the Mckinley Administration is
showing itself singularly short sighted.
The capitalists and farmers will do
well to think twice before putting
their money and labor into an industry
that will be antagonized by Havemey-
er and his millions.-.St. LoutS P-D.

WHEREAS, since the last term OF the
Iron County Circuit Court Hon. r. F.
Wingate has been removed from
among US by death; and
WHEREAS, the latter part of his IL
lustrious life was spent in this beauti-
full Valley in the practice of his pro-
fession, and it is therefore but fitting
that we, his surviving brethren, should
place on record some memorial of the
esteem and regard in which we held
him as a lawyer and citizen.
Gen. Wingate was born in that great
Commonwealth, Kentucky, in 1922.
When mere boy he moved with his
parents to the State of Illinois; there
studied law and was admitted to prac-
tice at the age of twenty. He spent
his early manhood in southern Illinois
where he met in his practice, Lincoln.
Douglass. Shields and other great le-
gal lights of that day and held his own
with them. He came to Missouri and
located in St. Louis in the latter sos.
In 1864 he was elected Attorney Gen.
eral of this State, and reelected in
1868. He discharged the duties of
this high Office with much ability, and
gave general satisfaction to the people.
Gen. Wingate retired from Office and
resumed the practice of law in ST.
Louis, and about FIVE years prior to
his death, located in Ironton and prac-
ticed in Iron and adjoining counties
until his last sickness. Therefore be
it
RESOLVED, that in the death of Gen.
Wingate the State has lost valuable
and estimable citizen, and the legal
profession one of its brightest lights.
ResolUed, that the Circuit Court of
Iron county be requested to set apart a
page of the Record of said Court to be
dedicated to the memory of Gen. Win
gate, and that the following inscription
be entered thereon:
Sacred to the memory of Robert F.
Wingate, born in Kentucky in 1922.
Died on the 18th day of November,
1896, and who at the time of his death
was a member of the Bar of Iron coun-
ty, Missouri. WM. r. EDGAR,

Tax Not Wealth, but Source of
Wealth.

Referring to Gov. Stephens veto OF
the note assessment bill the REGISTER
says any measure that will make the
wealthy people of the State pay their
share of the taxes is a good measure.
The REGISTER is right; but however
devoutly such consummation may be
wished for it cannot succeed so long
as we attempt to tax wealth instead of
source only. There is no lesson that
history of taxation teaches so plainly
and convincingly as this. The idea OF
taxing a man according to what he
possesses is wrong: a man should be
taxed according to benefits received
from government. Under such a sys-
TEN of taxation as we now have all
benefits go to the landowners; who in
stead of being fined for holding land
idle, or partially improved, are paid a
premium for doing so; and labor is fined
for producing wealth. Land is the
source of all wealth; and if you tax it
according to its rental value nothing
can, by any possibility, escape its just
share of the burden. In obedience to
natural laws the tax will distribute
itself justly; something that the ar
bitrary edict of king or the enact
ment of legislature never could Sc
cure. Every attempt at an artificial
distribution of taxation has resulted in
corruption and perjury.
To fue a man for what he accumu-
lates is to punish thrift. Taking most
from the man who has most discour-
ages industry and acts like boom
eraug against labor, the active factor
of all production.
We can settle the silver question
quicker by making the issue on taxa
tion than in any other way; and, as
to protection of American labor, a sys-
tenn that takes all taxes from labor is
the only just system of protection. A
system that puts taxes on labor is a
system of robbery. WM. CAMM.
