THE PARDON OF DREYFUS.

A few days ago Dreyfus was found guilty with extenuating circum- stances" Yesterday he was pardoned. Finding traitor" guilty with exten- uating circumstances was nice work. The pardon of that traitor" is dec- laration that the judges who found him guilty with extenuating circum- stances are guilty themselves It is a very just and consistent performance all around. The news of the pardon has been quietly received in France, and it now looks as if the threatened revolution will not spring out of the Dreyfus affair. France is very tired of the whole matter, and hopes that the agitation will not be continued. It will be harder to continue it now that Drey- fus has been pardoned He may nev- CT get his full rights but he will be much better off out of prison than in. And he can have the satisfaction of knowing that because he hasn't been | fairly treated by his own country there
 are hosts of sympathizers with him in other countries.

AN INTERVIEWING CONTEST.

Many will be interested in a contest taxing department stores recently pass ed by the Missouri legislature went into operation Saturday, but it's con stitutionality will be tested at once. The proprietors of the large department stores in that State have decided to refuse to pay the taxes required of them by this act, and have employed eminent counsel to represent them. The small dealers and single-line mer- chants are equally bent upon the en- forcement of the law. They have or ganized and engaged counsel to fight for the new law, and the attorney general of the State is also on their side, of course. The Missouri statute imposes a | license fee of from $500 to $500 year for each class of goods designated by | it and sold in any store giving employ ment to fifteen or more persons. The | license commissioner leach city has a | commissioner decides whether the fee or tax shall be minimum, maximum or any intermediate amount Ten per | cent of all the fees collected the com missioner retains, and of the remainder

A gratifying report on child labor in North Carolina has been made public by Labor Commissioner Lacy of that State. In 1896 6,SS2 men, 1O,567 women and 6O46 children were employed in cotton mills in the North State, whereas this year the figures are respectively 13,950, 15,SS7 and 3,44O. The decrease in the number of children in three years is therefore nearly fifty per cent. The report also shows that the men of North Carolina are more and more going into the cotton mills and that the proportion of women em- ployes to men is not so large as It ,,sed to be. One striking feature ot the decrease in the number of children em- nloyed is brought out by the fact that il, 1S9e there were but two-thlrds as
 many spindles as there are to-day Al nresent the number of spindles IS l'zoo'' ooo and the increase to this total Wh'le eo,,,er and fewer children are employed +, oraditable to the southern people.

The British Association for the Ad- x,.ncement of Science at Dover has con- versed quite freely with the French as- sociation at Boulogne by means of aeri- al telegraphy No difficulty was expe- rienced in exchanging congratulations, and the aerial currents were of such ln- tensity that persons using the local tel ephone service at Dover heard the sig nals.

A statement comes from one of the eastern counties of Maryland, which has a population of 19,702 native and only forty-five foreign born, two-thirds of which is white, that the purchasable vote has increased to two thousand and this number amounts to nearly one half of the total electorate.

the railroad has its large stock Yards
IRON Which heavy shipments of
cattle are made annually to the east
ern markets. The station itself
does a large business of shipping
fruit. vegetables, etc, and during
the past summer the train was held
day after day from fifteen to twenty
minutes to load the fruit. Many
thousand pounds of dressed pork
are shipped annually to the nearby
mining camps, as well as numerous
carloads of hay and grain.
In 1893, the panic, which was
such a severe blow to numerous
business men and towns, did not
spare this place, but gave it a set
back along with the balance and
put stop, for the time being. to
enterprises that would have added
materially to the growth ofthe place.
Among the principal enterprises
which were stopped at that tine
was the Arizona railroad, with
Phoenix. as its destination, which
was to give direct rail communica-
ton to a large and rich tract of land
and was being surveyed under the
direction of Otto Mears, at that time
president OF the Rio Grande South
ern. The crash compelled the work
to be abandoned and since then
nothing has been done with it. 1t
is the most favorable route for a
railroad to Arizona, and will be
mentioned further oa in this article.
