Commissioners Will Accept Supreme
 Courts Verdict

The county commissioners will accept the verdict of the supreme court of Alabama and will make no further fight on the board of revenue.
 This statement was given out yesterday by William S. Morrow, one of the mem- bers of the court, who said that the mat ter was at end until 1900, when the people will be asked to pass upon it.
 MT. Morrow also stated that the fight was begun with the determination to take it to the United States supreme court if necessary, but that some of the members of the court preferred to drop the matter and bring it to an end.

Liberty, Equality, Fraternity.

IF liberty leads on to equality, equal
ity leads on to brotherhood. If men
cannot be made to feel that they are
brothers. that the law Of the family
Is the true law Of the state and Of So
ciety. how can they be asked to con-
sent to the abrogation of their hered-
itary or traditional privileges in the
interests Of others? What power is
given to master the supreme force OF
society hitherto, the force Of selfish
ness? That force is mastered in the
home. and only in the home as yet.
There men and women live together
as in a commonwealth, subordinating
individual impulses and desires and
qualifications to the common welfare,
thinking of one another, denying
themselves for one another, serving
one another. All this is because there
is family life, and the law of the
family rules. II the realm Of industry
is to be justly equalized and trans
formed into a family life, men must
be made to realize and feel that they
constitute a family; that they are
members of brotherhood.
These are the ideals of Democracy
liberty, equality, fraternity; the true
freedom of all men, the true equality
among all men, the true brotherhood

commonwealth R. Heber New

F. ]. Berry says: Notwithstanding
the great depression Of 1893 to 1887
while prices ruled so low that 1t drove
farmers and breeders nearly out OF
the business, within the last year great
changes have come and breeding has
commenced in earnest, every one be-
ginning to feel and realize the neces-
sity Of breeding and raising the best
quality of horses for the market. Car
riage and coach horses are as high as
they ever were; also the best grades OF
heavy draft sell for as much money
as they did in high-priced times, with
a strong demand and good prices for
blocky, smooth horses from LOO up.
While these great changes have been
going on during the last ten years.
the horse-breeding industry has been
entirely revolutionized. Since 1898 the
great export demand his been intro
duced for the best classes and quality
of American horses, and this demand
which has been the life of our trade
and has been a great outlet for our
horse markets, has at the same time
fixed a specific type and defined the
different classes that are in demand
for export horses, and as the Ameri-
can demand has so changed through
the evolutions of the last ten years, or
since the early SOS, the same classes
that are in demand for export are the
only kinds that are profitable to raise
for American as we'll as export mar
kets. Thus the great evolution Of the
last ten years has changed the whole
horse-breeding problem, and although
a costly object lesson to farmers and
breeders of horses, it has not been
altogether without its benefits-it has
taught us lesson. While in former
times breeding was done promiscu'
ously, without proper consideration OF
forethought of the kinds Of horses the
market demanded, and in this way all
kinds Of horses were produced, from
the best down to the most worthless,
the small and ordinary horses COM
prised the larger per cent Of the num-
bers produced. The American horse
breeders have had severe lesson. 1t
has taught them that every horse
should be bred for certain purpose
and Of a certain type and of specific
class, with all the size, shape and
quality that the market demands. The
small horse Is thing Of the past II
has proven a failure and an unsatis-
factory investment. The grade has
been raised every year during the last
few years. and each successive year
requires larger horse and one Of bet
ter quality to meet the demands of the
market, and he must be horse of his
own class and be an up-to-date market
horse.

A correspondent in a position to full
ly know that whereof he affirms"
writes that, between Mojave and Nee
dies, the Santa Fe company replaced
all it's white section men, except the
foremen, with Japanese, only because
the latter are paid but $1.1O and the
former $150 Our correspondent
claims that two white men do more
work than three Japs; hence the mo-
tive of the company is not really
economy" but to replace free men by
serfs. 1t is creditable to the public
spirit of our working men that the
foremen, who were retained in order
to instruct the Japanese, threw up
their jobs, at great inconvenience,
rather than be used as tools to make
the way easier for the introduction of
serf labor. 1t shows the folly of ex-
pecting competition" to stop railroad
abuses. AS remedy, our correspond
ent suggests the boycotting of the
Santa Fe road. Government railroads
constitute the only remedy in sight,
excepting, possibly, utomobiles.-San

When is a dairy clean? The safest
answer to this question lies in describ-
ing when a dairy is dirty, and dan
gerously dirty, too, says the New York
Farmer. When woodwork in the dairy
gives off a smutty, musty, fusty, acid,
rank, and spoiled buttery smell. 1t Is
dirty. When tin vessels-such as pals,
cans, dippers, cups and skimmers-
after being thoroughly washed" give
of sourish smell, or show dark lines
Of matter in the folds and seams Of the
tin, they are dirty, and the dirt OF
Just such sort and in just such places
as to encourage the bacteria in the air
to drop down upon 1t, to crawl into
It, to feed upon 1t and to multiply in
It until they swarm in 1t and are ready
to launch themselves into the milk
put into those vessels. When the win
dows, walls, floors and fixtures in the
dairy are unpleasant to the smell when
the room is warmed up, there is dirt
present-enough dirt to have an effect
upon the flavor and other qualities OF
the milk and OF the butter made from
1t. When a vessel, from which milk
is removed, shows a layer OF black
sediment in the bottom, smelling with
unpleasant suggestiveness Of the barn
yard, there is dirt, plain, straight. I'M
mistakable dirt there-dirt that is un-
pleasant to think Of as component
part of milk that is to be used by
humans as food. No dairy showing
these things in any degree can really
be called "clean," or decently clean,
or BEAUTIFULLY clean. Hardly any other
occupation on earth makes such de-
mands for cleanliness and offers such
difficulties in the work Of securing
cleanliness, as the milk and butter and
cheese industry.

A Chicago dispatch says: Travelling
and resident statesmen Of the United
States will be called upon to join an
organization to prevent salaries being
reduced in the future and to secure, so
far as possible, reinstatement or
the salaries paid before the business
depression of 1893. Twenty represen-
tatives of the statesmen Of Chicago
held a meeting at the Palmer House
today to discuss the purposes of the
proposed organization. A resolution
was adopted reciting that ut has be-
come necessary for organized opposi-
ton to trusts by wage-earners as
protective measure" An appeal was
issued to statesmen to organize clubs
all over the country with view to
demanding such legislation by the
government and by each state as will
destroy the illegal concentration OF
capital and the curtailment of vast In
dustries, which eliminate competition
and destroy our usefulness" G. M.
More, the chairman of the temporary
organization, suggested that in each
state bill be drafted to prevent the
dealing in stocks as collateral and the
investment in the bonds of any trust
or monopolistic combination by ma
tional, state and private banks, and
the holding of such stocks and securi-
ties, and that in each city an organi-
cation of statesmen enter into politics
to support any nominee who will be
candidate on an antitrust platform.

pLUTOCRACY'S GREED.
The Money Power Would Destroy All
Peoples Money.

Peoples Money.
These times are as mean with OPP
pressions and as great with possibili-
ties as were those a century and more
ago, says the Commonwealth. Was
George III. any more an oppressor
than are the money-kings who are
pushing House bill 1929, which would
destroy all the peoples paper money,
substituting bank paper in its stead,
and dishonesty throwing the redemp-
ton Of the bank paper ultimately
upon the public which 1t pretends to
protect? The Western Union Tele-
graph Company has taxed the people
SO heavily for thirty years that 1t
has paid its owners 800 per cent per
year in stock and cash dividends, and
now 1t openly shifts its war tax upon
the people. Was the tax on tea any
more insolent than this?
Entertainments of the plainest rights
which the fathers won for us are OF
daily occurrence. Last winter an ed
itor Of daily paper gave it as his
opinion that certain railroad COM
pany, rather than it's engineer, ought
to be on trial for an accident. He was
summoned to court and sent to prison
for contempt Of court by the same cor
poration judge who thought he was
criticised.
Men-"men whose boast it is that We
come Of fathers brave and free"-there
is cause for alarm. Patriots every
where, men and women, who cannot
be actively in the field, will yield
thoughtful, earnest support to those
who are.

bent closer and saw a gray hall. I
noticed that she had been wearing her
hair differently for while. pushed
1t back off her forehead, and there on
the temples, under the front locks, 1t
was all shining like silver.
She began to laugh, and then she
threw back her head and burst out
crying. Then the whole story came
out.
She had been looking for work, too,
but had found none. When was out

She had had charge Of the money,
and she told me then that 1t was all

Well, we sort of faced things that
day. She said that she would get q
little something to do somehow, and
get money enough to go home to her
folks on visit. They lived up the
state. and they wouldn't suspect any
thing. She hated to leave me, but
we both knew it was the best thing we
could do.
But we never could get enough
money together to pay her way home.

Dairy Notes.

Illinois has at last law that will
give some protection to the makers
and consumers of dairy produce. I'm
fortunately the law is 30 worded that
the fines for violation Of all trespassing
can not be collected prior to July 1,
1900. Thus the manufacturers are to
have more than year to work of
their manufactured stuff on the pub
Tic. However, we will not grumble
very much if we can have the law en-
forced, according to its letter. Illinois
IS charged with being the state in
which the greatest number Of adulter-
nted articles are manufactured, and
perhaps she will be able to get rid of
this kind Of fame. There should now
be no delay in appointing commission
ers that will impartially enforce the
law.
A paper Of Pecatonica, Illinois, re-
ports the breaking of the shaft to a
cream separator and a general shake
knocked senseless by being struck by a
part Of the casing to the separator
bowl. The revolution Of the bowl was
at the speed Of 5000 times per min
ute, and the centrifugal force was con-
sequently great. The broken pieces
flew like bullets and it is regarded as
marvellous that some one was not kill
ed. This is a kind of accident not at
all peculiar to separator machinery.
