"A controversy of unusual character
is in progress at Denver. Fourteen Of
the leading stores have boycotted the
laiIies because the latter refuse to accede
to their terms as to prices for advertising.
The stores make an arbitrary and unrea-
sonablc demand for n cut of twenty per
cent in the newspapers prices for adver-
tising. Tho etores nre clearly in tho
wrong. They have no more right to die
tate to the newspapers the prices they
shall charge for advertising than the dali
lies have to fix the prices at which the
merchants shall sell goods. Each store
doubtless makes yearly estimate of the
amount which can be spent for advertis-
ing. The sensible way for ths merchants
it is to keep their advertising cxpens-
cs within the limits which their judg-
ment snyo is prudent, hut to attempt TO
dictate the prices Mt which sp1ce shall be
given them is wholly unjustifiable. We
can not predict the outcome of tho ,on-
troversy but the dailics are right in
standing shoulder TO shoulder in the fight
to maintain their inst rights.

Tho year 1898 starts ont pleasantly
for the Arkansas valley. We have most
delightful weather, the present indica-
tions being that onr disngreeable winter
all came before the holidays. And when
we had inclement days we had but to
pick mp daily paper to learn that much
worse weather prevailed in many other
localities. The rule is that the Rocky
Ford country has the cream of the cur
rent weather. And in a business point
of view the new year opens up wel!. New
enterprises are being planned, new build
iugs erected and very many new people
coming in to purchase our rich and cheap
lands. The thousands OF sheep and cat
tie which nre being fed are taking on
fefh rapidly under the influence of
bright sunshine and high altitude air
md bid fair to win many thousands of
dollars from tie pockets OF eastern ep:-

prevent
pneumonia

Prevention is always better than
cure, even when cure is possible.
But so many times pneumonia is not
cured that prevention becomes the
natural act Of that instinct of self
preservation which is "the first law
of nature" Pneumonia can be pre-
vented and is often cured by the use
of Ayers Cherry Pectoral.
"Some years ago / had severe cold and
was threatened with pneumonia. l could
neither eat nor sleep, and was in a wretched
condition. ! procured bottle of Ayers
Cherry Pectoral and took it according to the
directions, and at the end of fifteen daysw az
as well and sound as before the attack
have recommended it in many cases of pneu-
monia since, and have never known it to fail
in effeeting cure"
JOHN HENRY, st. Joseph, La.
al was attacked with cold that settled
on my lungs, and defed the skill of my ply
sicians so that they considered me incurable.
At last began to use Ayers Cherry Pectoral
and was entirely cured after having taken
two bottles"

TRESTLE IN FLAMES.
Plant System Trains Run Over the

Plant System Trains Run over the
G. S. and F.-Forest Fires Put Out.
Valdosta, Ga, Feb 1s-The trains on
the Tampa division of the Plant System
had to come by this city and thence over
the Georgia Southern Road all day yester-
day, owing to the burning Of a trestIe two
miles from Dupont. A freight ran into
the burning trestle and seven cars were
destroy@1, four of them burned, and three
torn to pieces. The engine also went down
an embankment, but no one was hurt.
The damage was repaired as quickly as
possible and trains were running through
all right to-day
Forest fires have been raging through
this section all the week and considerable
damage was done above the city, where
the flames swept to the tree tops and was
driven through the woods and under
growth faster than man could run. The
scene of the fire in some localities was
fearful to those who looked upon it. Just
above this city the flames struck a cane
break and the popping of the burning
canes was like the crack Of rifles. The
heavy rains of last night have extinguish-
ed the fires through this section. The
long dry spell has made every kind of
wood as dry as powder and the flames
nave found easy sailing where once they
have been allowed to get under Way
Fifteen of Valdosta's crack sportsmen
went out to field two miles from here
yesterday morning and in three hours time
they killed 300 birds. The field was baited
for doves and was filled with them when
the hunters arrived. Over 1000 shots were
fired during the time. The hunters were
not stingy with their ammunition, but took
all sorts OF chances at the birds. ff

monopoly restore the lines 10 their prop
er legal spheres of operation and IT,
secure the blessings of competition to
the people. This should not be done ia
reckless disregard of the rights of proper
ty, but with care and conservation. and
with a proper and sacred respect for the
vast interests involved. But at last the
yield the same obedience to the
constitution and the law which is demand
ed of the citizen, and which the citizen 10y
ally yields.
"Au property and persons receive alike
the protection of the government and all
should contribute alike to support it, but
1t is now proposed to amend the constitu-
ton so as 20 permit the counties and cities
to exempt the capital invested in manu-
features after erected from taxation.
II am firmly and unalterably opposed to
this amendment
First, it violates the wish and equita-
bic law of equality by which all property
contributes alike to support the govern
ment which protects and preserves 1t.
Second, 1t is protection per Sc, TO which
the Democratic party from its birth has
been relentlessly opposed. The state
should not itself, nor should
1t permit either cities or counties, to con-
tribute any of the wealth of the people to
the establishment and maintenance of In
dividunl enterprises. BY this proposed
amendment the county and municipal Aoy-
ernments would have power to make an
annual donation of so much money to one
industry and at the same time viii hold
1t from other industries. No rational
distinction can be drawn between the gift
of taxes to the manufacturer and the
donation of the manufacturer through
protective tariff. The Democratic party
is not in favor of one industry but of all
industries, and gives to all the same
protection of the law and imposes on
all the same burdens of government.
Third, 1t releases the property of the
rich and adds to the burdens of the poor.
1t relieves those who are best able to pay
and continues to exact from those who
now find it difficult to pay their taxes.
cannot approve a system that exempts
the costly plant of the manufacturer and
perpetuates the burden upon the humble
cottage of the poor"
Mr.. Berner closes his address by declar-
ing his acceptance of the Chicago plat
form, which he advocated in the campaign,
though he held sound money views.
He favors the election of judges and So
licitors by the people and says he is the
candidate of no clique or ring.

MAINE WRECK IN THE HOUSE.
The Call for an Appropriation OF

The Call for an Appropriation of
100000 Presented.
Washington, Feb. 1S.-Immediately after
the reading of the journal in the House
to-day Mr.. Boutelle, Rep, of Maine, chair
man of the naval committee, asked unan-
imous consent for the consideration of the
resolution prepared by the navy depart
ment and passed by the Senate.
The mere mention of the Maine disaster
on the floor brought members in crowds
from the cloak rooms and Hobbies, and
they thronged down the aisles to listen.
The spectators in the galleries leaned
over with breathless interest as Secre-
tary Longs letter was read.
1T is unnecessary to say" said Mr.
Boutelle at the conclusion of the reading
OF the letter from Secretary Long that
the work of salvage should begin at once
and the arrangements with the wrecking
companies which have necessary outfits
should not be delayed. l deem it proper
to call attention to the fact that the Sec
rotary, recognizing that Congress was in
session, has come here for authority to do
this work instead of straining any author
ity he might possess independently"
Mr. Sulzer, Dem, of New York, asked
Mr. Boutelle if he had any information
official or otherwise that threw any light
on the cause of the disaster.
Il must reply as I did yesterday" re-
piled Mr.. Boutelle, that regret to say
have not. But all the information at
hand seems to strengthen the belief that
it was due to an accident"
The resolution was then adopted unani-
mously. eE
