The Boy in the Bundle,

An Iowa boy recently passed through
an experience which he will not forget
If he lives to be 100 years old. He Is
only years old, and one day when his
father went TO the wheat field to drive
the harvester he took him along and
perched him on the high seat at his side.
For time all this was very interest
ing, but presently the little fellow grew
tired and began to squirm and complain.
And then, just as his father was leaning
over to look more closely at some of
the machinery, off tumbled the little
fellow to the Conveyor. He shrieked
just once and his father tried valnly to
stop the horses. But before he could
even slacken the speed the boy had been
driven up through the elevator canvas
with half bundle of wheat, the binding
tWine had twisted swiftly around his
neck and legs and he was rolled out on
the wide carrier securely bound in
wheat bundle. He was almost choked
and there was a tiny bit Of skin torn
from his shoulder, but otherwise he was
unhurt when his father could cut the
string and helped him up again. But
worse frightened boy would have been
hard to find.-Chicago Record.

Baker asked that the proposition be
left open for a while, and then called on
Bristow. He informed him Of the Pres
ident's remarks relative to him, and
added Il don't propose to say the word
unless | am forced to. I helped you TO
get this place, and in doing so, nearly
severed the friendship Of some OF my
best friends in Kansas. Now, I simply
have this to say, that IL l hear OF your

him to Overturn my recommendations,

A Leavenworth dispatch to the Kan

Senator Baker heard Of the appoint
ment OF Ike Purcell to the Land office
job at WaKeeney, instead of w. 8. Til

Immediately went to Washington to see
the President. Mr.. Mckinley said he
had ignored Bakers recommendation of

and said an ante-election promise had
been made to Purcell. I told him that
If the promise had been given, 1t should
be kept. Brlstow informed me that you
were friendly to Purcell, and that 1t
would make no particular difference to
you"
Baker then denied that any such agree

Where the Product of Labor Goes.

Editor Advocate:-Many think that
the complaint of labor that it don't get
it's proper share of it's product more
fanciful than real. Let such listen to
United States Labor Commissioner
Wright, who always leans to capital in
his pronouncements. In a recent report
he says that ''the average wages per
year paid in the country is $S47." Paid
to whom? we ask. To the few en-
ployed, and the salaries of high officials
are included in this as wages. Aver
aged over the whole army Of labOrers,
1t would not be half that. And he con-
tlnues: "The product Of each laborer is
S1,888." So that the laborer gets but
IL per cent. of his product. In Italy he
gets 80 per cent, and in England 20 per
cent. Of what he produces. Blaine said
years ago, that taking into account his
skill and the amount of work he turns
off, the American mechanic didn't re-
ceive as big wages as the Englishman.
There is another point to this showing.
Eighty-three per cent. goes to capital
and distribution. Is it possible? 1t Is
even so. Who'll say now that labor gets
its share? A MECHANIC.

The Tariff on Sugar,

Editor AdVocate:- neighbor of mine
(Mr. Paddock visited England during
the past summer and the vessel on which
he sailed had as a part of her cargo a
large quantity of sugar. This led Mr.
Paddock to an inquiry into sugar as
sold there and the result Is thus told by
the Mound City Torch:
"The vessel on which Mr.. Paddock
went carried $4,000 tons of freight, q
large amount of it being American-re-
fined granulated sugar and whisky. The
sugar sells in England at about 279 cents
per pound wholesale, and at cents per
pound at retail from the groceries, which
means thirty-three and one-third pounds
for dollar Very little sugar is sold by
the dollars worth in England, as it
makes such a bulk 1t is too inconvenient
to carry hOme--almost equal to sack
of -four. This is rather interesting as
showing that the granulated sugar man
ufactured by the sugar trust in the
United States is sold to the English,
where it is placed in competition with
foreign refineries, at less than one-half
what it costs the fool Americans, who
allow the tariff to be put on to protect
the trust, and they are losing seventeen
and one-third pounds Of sugar every time
they buy dollar&S worth by reason of
such protection, or, by law prohibited
from buying the sugar in the markets
Of the world where every farmer must
necessarily sell his products The sew
enteen and one-third pounds Of sugar is
that much clear gain to the trust and
that much clear loss to every American
consumer of a dollars worth Of sugar
The American consumer, however,
kindly gives it to the sugar trust to
maintain and protect this infant indus
try of ours which defies competition of
foreign retineries in free trade England!
Under the Republican tariff, whenever
you buy dollars worth of sugar in the
United States you get sixteen pounds
Of sugar and seventeen and one-half of
tariff, and il you buy it in England it is
all sugar-thirty-three and One-third
pounds of it. Sugar goes good deal
further than tariff in sweetening coffee,
we believe. This is great country,
though, and very patient, liberal peo-
ple!" LINN COUNTY READER.

New Magazine Rife,

The German cavalry has recently
adopted a small magazine rife which
is said to be very deadly weapon.
The most striking qualities OF the rife
are It's extreme lightness of weight, its
compactness for carrying purposes, It's
rapid firing features and its great range.
1t weighs only four pounds and one
ounce with holster and strap complete.
The barrel and stock are taken apart
when carried and slung across the
shoulder by means of a strap. The
length Of the barrel Is only fourteen
inches and that of the stock thirteen
inches. The stock is made of walnut
with natural smooth finish. The mag
azine, which holds sixteen SS-callber
cartridges, Is located Immediately under
the trigger, and the mechanism for fir
ing is such that the cartridges are ex-
plOded as fast as person can pull the
trigger.
The cartridges go into the magazine
in a metal case, and four cases accom-
pany each rife. The empty case can
be taken out and the filled one put in
almost instantly, thus making the
weapon capable of firing sixty-four, or
as many shots as 1t can endure without
getting too hot, in the most rapid man
ner. The empty shells fly from the
breech Of the barrel as fast as the trdg-
ger Is pulled.
The rife in use is only twenty-seVen
inches long and the magazine four and
a half inches long. It's range is two
and a half miles, and 1t Is claimed that
1t will kill at that distance. The pat
ents on 1t have only recently been Sc
cured, and the whole German cavalry
will soon be equipped with the rifles

to the license, but because a Federal
Judge has no right to control the &C.
ton OF a State offlcer in a matter aris.
Ing solely under State law.
"The point should be always and
clearly kept In mind that In the con
fiict between Insurance Commissioner
McNall and the Federal court the main
question is not whether, according Ia
the laws Of Kansas, he should issue the
license or not. The main question Is
whether the Federal courts have a right
to interfere with the action Of q State
officer acting purely in his official ca
pacity as representative OF the State
If the insurance company had brought
the action In a State court, the main
question would then be whether the
Insurance Commissioner had a right ia
withhold the license. But this Ques-
tion Is covered up by the far more i'm
portant inquiry whether. a Federal
court can direct how a State officer
shall discharge his duties under a State
law.
1T is not little unfortunate that in
the discussions Of this question the in
quiry has been clouded by considera-
tions Of whether the license was prop
erly withheld or not. That matter
could easily be settled In the State
courts. The courts of Kansas are open
to the complaining insurance company.
1t should have reSorted to them. No
question Of the Interpretation of Fed
eral statute or of the constitution of
the United States is involved. It is a
State matter entirely. A State officer
has pursued a certain course under a
State law. The Federal government has
no more right to interfere than the gov
ernment of Germany.
1T is furthermore the rule with Fed
eral courts to adopt the Interpretation
given State statute by a State court.
If the ruling Of the State court ought
to control the decision of the Federal
tribunal, then the insurance company's
action should have been brought Origi-
nally 10 the State court, to say nothing
of the main proposition that the Fed
eral courts have no right to interfere at
ALL
"The national constitution declares
that no action shall be brought against
State by citizen Of another State in
a United States court. But this proyis-
ion is ignored when the Federal court
assumes in this case to control the &C.
tion Of the Insurance Commissioner of
Kansas and compel him to accept dts
Interpretation OF State law.
'If the Federal courts have power to
do this with one State officer they have
power to do it with the Governor him
self. If Federal court can compel a
Governor to accept It's Interpretation of
a State law and lock him up in jail If
he refuses to do its bidding, then there
is an end Of the Federal character of
the government and Union. Then a
Federal Judge can take possession of a
State, appoint a receiver and run the
government to suit itself. The more one
inquiries into the matter, the more
clearly is 1t seen that this assumption
Of jurisdiction by a Federal Judge over
a State officer in purely State matter
Is not only revolutionary, but in the
highest degree impertinent. 1t is hoped
that the national Supreme court will
teach aggressive Federal Circuit and
District Judges to mind their own busl-
ness and let the domestic affairs of the
States alone"

profit taking. and some weak spots de-
veioped in the loss which served some
what TO check the rising tendency. The
prices OF most stocks were. nevertheless.
quite firmly held until the close. and sub
stantial net gains were the rule as the
result of the days trading. There was
quite large number of shares sold here
for London account. There was marked
broadening tendency to speculation.
The outside interest in the market
which was first manifested. yesterday.
was again a feature, today, and various
commission house orders were in evil
dence. Improved railway earnings, espe-
cially from the South and Southwest, are
an encouraging factor. On the other hand
Wabash and Chesapeake K Ohio showed
losses. The st. Paul statement for April
was also disappointing factor. This had
quite a marked effect in the afternoon
check to the rise in values.
Net gains were generally fraction less
than the extreme advance. but were the
rule throughout the list. An extreme adj
vance of point or over was made in

clined rs to 1855. closing near the lowest.
Cleveland. Cincinnati. Chicago & St.
Louis was also conspicuous for weakness
in contrast to the general market.
The bond market developed aggressive
strength on large transactions. The st.
Louis and San Francisco securities were
prominent and rose materially. with the
trust SIS registering the extreme i'm
provement of 3la per cent. Some few
weak spots were uncovered. notably Le-
high & Wilkesbarre consols, which
sagged 50 per cent. to 92l2. The aggre-
gate sales were 81 3G2. 900.
Governments displayed hardening ten
dency on a moderate inquiry. The sales
were $4,000.
