FOURTH oF JULY oRATloNs.

Nearly every orator who deliv- cred Fourth of July addresses had more or less to say III dcnuncia- tion of the- unholy trusts which are striking down the liberties of the people.
 During the past eighteen months there has been a trust craze in the United States unparalleled in the history of the country. Since January 1, 1898, nearly 800 trusts have been organized, nearly all of which were incorporated at Tren- ton, N. J.
 The method of trust manipula- ton was pretty we'll exposed yes terday by the best orators of the country. The common people un- dcrstand more about the trusts than they did two years ago, and they take no stock, common or preferred, in any of the grinding combines. To the Fourth of July orators NC are indebted for much

of the light that has been thrown upon the subject.
 It was an appropriate theme for Fourth of July eloquenoe. The people of this country insist upon free and unlimited competition in business. If q few hundred or ganizations be allowed to control the trade and commerce of this country, we shall soon be in a condition similar to that which confronted the original thirteen colonies 123 years ago. Control of the commerce and other busi- ness of the United States by the trust organizations of this country would be no less hurtful to our industrial interests than if con trollcd by Great Britain or any other foreign country.
 When few men with capital organize to conduct certain lines of business and declare that all other men in this great nation with population of over 70, ,000,- 900 shall not engage in the same callings they acquire an authority as potent as that exercised by Great Britain over the colonies, when she dictated what goods should be sold in America, where they should be manufactured and the ships that should bring them here.
 Industrial freedom is just as necessary to the pursuit of happi- ness as political freedom. The year 1900 should mark the begin hing of the enfrapchisement of the American people from indus trial slavery. Arkansas Gazette.

PRODUCERS MUST ORGANIZE.

Capt. k. G. Caldwell, one of our most extensive and successful potato growers, told us Tuesday that he has just received $9.S5 as the result of one car load of pota- toes he shipped to Northern market q couple of weeks ago. This is what he got after commits sion, etc, had been deducted. What he paid out in gathering, shipping, etc., is not included Tn this transaction, but altogether the car load will make about a $50 hole in his pocket.
 Mir. Caldwell has grown pota- toes for several years. He knows how to raitc q crop, how to get it out and how to ship it. He is clearly of the opinion that the growers of this section must organize thoroughly if they wish to protect themselves from the robberies of the buyers and com mission men, and thinks the or ganization should embrace every grower, no matter what his capa- city for production. -Ft.

INGALLS, AND THE TRUSTS

John J. Ingalls, in an authorized interview, published in several papers, announces his intention to again enter politics and ''work to secure Republican ascendancy Tn Kansas and then adds 1: "I think we are badly in need of some new blood in Republican politics in this state"
 Ingalls, John J. Ingalls, ]! Is not that the name of a man who injected blood into the Republican politics of Kansas many years ago He at least does not intend to violate the command not to put new wine into old bottles, for surely his thew blood" has seen service before.
 Upon the issues of the coming campaign MT. Ingalls, says:
 'gThe Democracy will blunder, as usual, and oppose the war in the Philippines as imperialism and military domination. That will be the chief issue of the next cam paign, with 16 to 1 on the side. But the trust question is really the most important and significant of all the political problems of the times in which we live. Both parties will undoubtedly incor- porate Tn their platforms blanks against the restraint of trade and the destroying of the opportuni- ties for American citizens in the race for life. Unless the trust epidemic is arrested, at the rate we arc now going, we will have financial crash within five years that will make the panic of '93 seem insignificant.
 "Thc practical solution of the whole matter rests with the state legislatures. The solution Is tax ation; just the same as the gov ernmcnt undertook to prevent the sale of oleomargarinc by taxing tho product; just the same as the government destroyed the state banks by imposing the 10 per cent tax. The law already exist ing is practically sufficient. It declares all combinations in re- straint of trade illegal and void. If that is supplemented by taxa ton, the matter will be disposed of promptly. No problem is simpler than dealing with the trusts
 It is possible, as Mir. Ingalls, says, that the whole matter rests with the state legislatures, but there arc those who have con celvcd the idea that the courts have something to do with the problem along the line of dcclar- ing certain laws unconstitutional that propose to levy specific taxes on corporations.
 1t is quite possible that if con- gress could be induced to levy a tax similar to the tax levied on state banks, something might be accomplished along tho line sug- gested. A better law, however, would be a graduated income tax, one that would cause that tired feeling to come upon those who sought by any means to take ad- vantage of their fellows and ac- cumulate money in undue quan- titles.

It is unfortunate, to say the least, that it has been deemed necessary to move the county clerks office, as we'll as others, together with all tho records, from a brick building where there is a vault in which tho county records could be kept, to q frame building where there is no fire protection for the records. Unfortunately the prospects for the early com pletion of the court house arc not very flattering, and until it is com plctcd our county records should have been kept in as safe place as could be secured. To have the records destroyed by fire would prove q dire calamity to our peo- pie, create endless litigation and interfere materially with the transfer of real estate. Fortu- nately County Clerk Davis has a private box in the Carder vault Tn which he proposes to keep many of the most important papers, but all the important records of the county have no such protection.

WHERE WILL IT ENDr
A dispatch from Seattle, Wash. to the New York Sun says:

A dispatch from Seattle, Wash. ], to tho New York Sun says:
 John D. Rockefeller did not come to the Northwest for mere pleasure. The resignation of General Manager Biownell of the Everett Land company was part of n programme arranged by Mir. Rockefeller to get control of the Everett Land company with its 3 mill lion or million dollars worth of prop erty. The fact came to the surface in a suit filed in the federal court by the Central Trust company of New York city to foreclose Il mortgage of Sl,- 100000 against the land company. Rockefeller owns the mortgage and by foreclosing it he will come into possession of the property.
 = The act, taken in connection with his recent move in foreclosing q mort gage against the Monte Cristo mines and contractor, practi ally makes Mr. Rockefeller the landlord of Everett, with it's 5000 or 1000 people for ten. ants. The mortgage covers verything within the town limits, besides thous. ands of acres ir the country.
 It would appear that as peo- plc we have become so accustomed to tho hugo financial transactions of men whose ghoulish greed has caused them to form trusts to monopolizc natural products, that we can read of such transactions as outlined above, and not pause to ask where it will end 2
 So rapidly has the Standard Oil trust accumulated money in the hands of Mir. Rockefeller, that there is scarcely an ambition con ceived in his fertile brain that he cannot carry out, even to buying whole towns and making tenants of all the people when it comes convenient to try and forcclose a mortgage for that purpose.
 All Mir. Rockefeller has to do at Everett is to appoint his agent and attorney and collect rents for the use and occupancy of the homes he has bought and become the legal owner of, and from these and other profits make other simi- lar purchases.
 Talk about princes and potcnta- tcs under monarchies ! When was the time that one could levy taxes upon his selfs and rctainers for personal benefits and use as the Rockefcllers and their breed of money getters are enabled to do now When was the time that tenants on their estates passed more meekly or abjectly with each transfer of the real estate to the purchaser than we sec instanced in the article quoted above.

hen has sent a description of Nc
Glade to the various Sheriffs through
out the country asking them to be on
the lookout for him.
McGlade's arrest when his pecula-
tons were first discovered, it was
learned last night, was brought about
by the woman who is supposed to have
gone with him.
Knowing that she was on intimate
terms with him, one of Chief Lees men
visited her house for the purpose of
finding out what had become of Nc
Glade. The women in the house en-
phatically declared that she was not in
the house. SuspeCting that they were
telling an untruth, the detective de-
clared his intention of searching the
rooms. Just as he proceeded to carry
out the intention the much wanted
woman emerged from a room on the
upper floor and was promptly recog-
nized by the detective. When ques-
toned she denied knowing anything
about McGlade. but finally broke down
and confessed that he was on his way
to Mexico. The detective reported the
conversation to Chief Lees, who, by
using the telegraph wires. headed off
the absconding official An officer was
sent for him and he was brought back.
As the woman has also disappeared, the
police are morally certain that she is
with McGlade.
To-day pictures of McGlade will be
sent to the various officials throughout
the country. with instructions to arrest
him on sight. AS he cannot very well
disguise himself. the police are hopeful
of experimenting him.

The defense called John Mason, the
conductor of the game, and the defend

such testimony unless it could be shown
that the drinks, cigars or sandwiches
were supplied to the players while the po-

his testimony and it was stricken out.

centage of the whole.

among other things: ''While the ordi-
nary game of poker is not prohibited by
law, still if such game is so played that
a person who conducts and carries on the
game but not participating in the play
takes out part or portion OF the money
or checks as representatives of value

a percentage for himself, then such game
would be a percentage game within the
meaning of the statute. 1t would be i'm

Judge also charged that it was not neces-
sary for the prosecution to prove the eX-

for about half an hour returned with a
verdict of guilty, but with a recommends
ton to the extreme mercy of the court.

Chief Moore Tells of Excellent Re-

1t is more than likely that the co-opera-

Bureau and the Department of Agricul-
ture and certain Eastern colleges will be
extended to this coast so as to include
the California and Stanford universities.
Chief Willis L. Moore, acting under the
specific directions of Secretary James
Wilson, has already arranged co-opera-
ton with the Ohio State University, Johns
Hopkins University and the University of
Tennessee with such excellent results
that the system will be introduced into
other institutions of learning.

Professor Moore is an enthusiast on the

''The study of meteorology is becoming
a most important one, and as a rule only
graduates of universities and scientific
schools have the necessary educational
foundation for its practical pursuit. 1t is
for that reason that the Department of
Agriculture is introducing the work of
cooperation in the universities wherever
found feasible. In some cities the offlces
of the Weather Bureau are located in
the university buildings. A complete
meteorological observatory is maintained
to which the students are given full ac-
cess. Lectures by bureau officials are
included in the college curriculum ana ana
substantial results are obtained IN the
fitting of technically trained men for ag-
ricultural work. The Secretary has d.
rected that student observers be en-
ployed at weather stations, so as to per

1.-THE agricultural colleges endowed by
Congress are educating men IN the
science relating to agriculture, and sucn
men may now be had who are competeHl
to report intelligently on the productions
of the country they keep the farmers
of the United States informed regarding

tifically educated. There is a large and
growing need for such men, and the de-

McGlade had either left the city or
was in hiding, at once detailed several
of his best men to find him. Knowing
that he was in the habit of visiting

Gibson was sent to watch her home
as it was thought at the time that he
might leave the city with her. After

in notifying Captain Bohen, and de-

the detectives, his whereabouts are
still shrouded in mystery. They are
satisfied that he has either left the city
or is in hiding.
About a week ago a secret Indictment

Gaping further prosecution, and at the
request of the foreman the indictment
was secretly filed. In some manner the
matter became public and the friends
of the disgraced bookkeeper lost no

turned over to Chief Lees, with in
structions to do all in his power to find

was searching for him, McGlade was
packing his grip preparatory to leav-
ing the city. Word reached police
headquarters that the disgraced book
keeper was about to seek a more con-
genial cline, evidently in the hope of
escaping the consequences of the al
legged crimes. AS the members of the

about McGlade, they sent word TO Cap
