We wish to call especial attention
to the article in this issue under the
caption of "The Murder of the limo
cents" Our attention was called to
the article by teacher of ability and
experience, and we publish it because
of the good it is likely to do, provided it
is carefully read and intelligently con-
sidered. 1t is not necessary for US to
make any comments, for it appears
that but little, if anything, essential
has been left unsaid. Before publish
ing the article, however, it was neces-
sary for us to get the especial permis-
sion of The Ladies Home Journal, to
which excellent publication it belongs,
and in behalf of our readers, we take
pleasure in returning thanks to Mr..
Box for his kind courtesy in the matter.

in different variations, all indicating

in different variations, all indicating
disaster on large scale.
Mr.. R. Sidney Davidson, who is in
the employ of Messrs. Joseph Wylie &
Co., was in Yorkville last week and
the reporter took occasion to ask him
about the facts. He said that such
reports had been reaching Chester for
ten days or more, and that the people
down there had been very much
amused at them. The crop conditions
were not especially encouraging; but
no worse than in surrounding coun-
ties. He had not heard of any of the
farmers surrendering stock that bad
been purchased, and be was pretty sure
that Wylie & Co., had not taken back
a single mule, although they had sold
in the spring two car loads or more.
From all around The ENQUIRER has
been hearing discouraging crop re-
ports. In some localities on red lands
there is nothing like stand of cotton,
and the outlook for good COTE crop
is anything but good. 1t is the gener-
al opinion, however, that with good
rains within the next two weeks con-
ditions will change wonderfully.

RANK TAXATION.

The Columbia State, of Monday,
contains the following communication
from Mr.. G. W. s. Hart, president of
the Loan and Savings Bank, of York
vile:
"You have been in the past
staunch advocate for the enforcement
of such laws as we now have, and the
passage of better laws for equalizing
the burden of taxation. There is much
need for both-the better enforcement
of the laws that we now have and the
passage of better laws. 1 have been
struck with this today in examining
the returns of the four banks in
the county of York. One of them
claims to have a paid-up capital of
$120, 900, 5000 surplus and So, 1852
undivided profits. The stock is valued
at 66a per cent. and this bank pays
taxes on S82,795. The second bank
advertises in the county newspapers
that it is doing business upon a capital
stock of $4,000; but makes return
that it has paid up capital of $50, 900,
of which $23,5O0 is in non-taxable
State bonds, and pays taxes upon &c.
50Ol The third bank returns its capi-
tai stock at $32,225.2S, undivided
profits at $2,799.95, and pays taxes
upon $9O,S49. It's stock is valued at
IS per cent. The fourth returns its
capital stock at $4,000, undivided
profits, or surplus, at 81 900, and pays
taxes upon s11,266.67. Its stock is
valued at 66s per cent.
"The above furnishes room for some
consideration, at least; but the returns

Office without any trouble. 1t is cer-
tsinly to be hoped that our Legislators
will spend part of their vacation in
studying the matter of unequal tax.

matter up after the legislature has
convened"

drill was used on all but 2a acres, and
would have been used on these also;
but was impracticable on account of
rains that set in while the work was
in progress. The 2a acres had to be
sowed by hand. At the harvest, the
drill-sowed wheat showed up fully 25
per cent. better than the handsowed,
and although Mr.. Herndon lad never
used drill before, he is so convinced
of its value that he will not sow wheat
without one again.
Mr.. Strauss is of opinion that his
principal mistake was failure to use
the drill. Of course, he recognizes
that the unfavorable seasons had
great deal to do with the generally
unsatisfactory results; but at the same
time he is now satisfied that if he had
drilled his wheat as Mr.. Herndon did,
he would have made much better
crop. He expects to try it again and
the next time he will put in the seed
with drill.

incorporated capital in the United
States. Oratorical vagarists have en-
deavored to make common people be-
lieve that interpretations are not sub
ject to economic laws of competition,
and that the relation of supply to de-
mand is not the sole regulator of value.
The fact, however, remains that money
invested in manufactures or in rail-
roads belonging to interpretations is no
stronger, no better and no more ex.
empt from the operation of CONNER
cial laws than the money which is
owned by individuals. There need be,
in my judgment, no apprehension as to
the trusts crushing out all competition.
"With the exception of the oil trust
and sugar trust, the failure among
trusts has been universal. The whis-
ky trust, the tobacco trust and all the
other trusts of any Importance up to
date, except those that have been
formed very recently, have been COM
plete failures. These failures have
come, firstly, from over-capitalization /;
and, secondly, from mismanagement.
Intelligent competition can enter the
field against any trust on earth ex-
cept one which has natural monopo-
ly; (by this I mean one which, like
the Standard Oil company, owns the
only oil producing lands in the coun-
tryO and successfully put its products
upon the market with the sympathy
of the consumer all on its side."
DR.. Lyman Abbott, of New York,
says: II think what we most need on
the subject of industrial, commercial,
labor and transportation combinations
is just what your letter indicates this
meeting will endeavor to secure !:
Light, not heat. What we need to un-
derstand and what only experience
can teach us is the relation between
competition and combination, the one
the centrifugal, the other the centri-
petal force of society. He who be-
lieves only in combination will logical
ly be led to socialism he who believes
only in competition will logically be led
to nihilism. Neither of these results
can possibly furnish the solution of the
problems which now confront US. We
must learn how to secure the advan-
tages of combination without Destroy
ing the individual; to maintain broth.
erhood in practical forms without sink
ing, obscuring or belittling person
ality."
Hundreds of other letters have been
received, the writers in nearly every
case expressing sympathy with the
purposes of the conference.

drowned in the river the day before.
A bulldog also accompanied the men.
When the preacher came on deck,
wearing suit of Captain Newman's
clothes, the bridal couple announced
that they would have the wedding
take place then and there. The cere-
mony had proceeded almost to the
point where the preacher was about
to pronounce them husband and wife
when Captain Newman's dog and the
bulldog got into a fight. In the midst
of it they upset the coffin, which had
been deposited on couple of beer
kegs. AS it struck the deck the home
made coffin burst open, pilling out the
corpse. One glance at the dead mans
features and the bride swooned away
in the arms of the groom, for the
corpse was that of former lover to
whom she had been engaged. Cap.
tain Newman vouches for the story.

Union PACIFIC ROBBERS.

Two of the men who were recently
arrested at Dells, Wyoming, on the
charge of completely in the Union Pa
cifc train robbery, turn out to be
brothers named Roberts. Their iden'
tity has not been satisfactorily estab'
lished it seems; but they are being
held for the robbery of the Big Piney,
Mont, postoffice. The pursuit of the
other robbers has been discontinued.
A Cheyenne, Wyoming, dispatch OF
last Saturday tells the story of the
pursuit as follows:
"The chase after the men who, on
June 2, held up and dynamited Un.
ion Pacific mail train at Wilcox Bridge,
was abandoned today. The men were
followed across the Laramie plains
the Casper mountains, through the
Hole in the Wall country, across the
main range of the Big Horn noun
tains into Big Horn Basin, where the
trail was completely lost. Twice dur
ing the pursuit the officers were am
bushed by the robbers, who on June s.
killed one of the pursuers, Sheriff Joe
Hazen. Friends of the outlaws aided
in their escape, furnishing them with
fresh horses and by ferrying them
across the Big Horn river.
"The trail was lost in the Owl
Creek mountains on the Shoshone re-
servation, where the bandits were last
seen on Wednesday. The bandits
have reached the Wild River noun
tains, near Fremont's Peak, where
there is a country nearly 100 miles
square, affording countless hiding
places. The various posses, number
ing upward of rs men, which have
been maintained by the railroad com
pany, the Federal and state govern
ments were withdrawn today, and II
any further effort is made to capture
the bandits, it will be by still.hunt
methods with few skilled men,"

BICYCLE AND BASEBALL.

During three years or more the popu'
lar fad throughout the country has
been the bicycle. Now the >bicycle is
taking a back seat and baseball is
coming again.
Gall work and no play makes Jack
a dull boy" and that people should
have some way in which to amuse
themselves for at least part of the
time is very necessary. Of course,
everybody will not agree with this pro-
position. There are those who be-
lieve in work, work, all the time, and
there are others who believe in play,
play, all the time but these are the
extremes, and between these two
classes, the vast majority very proper
ly believes that there is a time for
work and time for play.
Of course different people want diff,
ferent kinds of amusement. Some
like to play baseball, some like to see
it played, and others care nothing
whatever about it. 1t is the same way
with other sports; but each one has
on its side from time to time the big
majority. The majority is fond of va
riety, and for the want of better
name, if indeed a better name were
possible, the changing whims of the
majority are designated as fads.
The bicycle fad first began to strike
this section about three years ago, and
it struck with considerable force. As
one convert after another became an
enthusiast, the general impression
among all seemed to be that the amuse-
ment was so delightful that there could
be no other way for it than that it
would last forever. In sense, they
were right. Until there is invented a
more convenient and economical means
of locomotion, the bicycle will remain
with us but already large per cent.
of former enthusiasts, who rode their
wheels only for pleasure, are firing OF
such amusement and seeking some
other means of Willing away idle
time.
Of course, baseball does not in any
way supply the place of the bicycle
except as an amusement but it is a
noticeable fact that with the waning
of interest in the bicycle in this Sec
tion there is proportionate increase
Of interest in baseball. For instance,
it is now an easy matter to gather to
witness good game of baseball big
crowd of people who short time back
could not have been induced to give
up so much time from their wheels.
But while interest in bicycles is now
undoubtedly on the wane, not only
in this section but in all parts of the
country, no one need figure that wheel
ing is dead fad. Baseball will have its
day-a long day or short day-and
then maybe other fads will also have
their days; but the bicycle will not
only continue in Importance from
the standpoint of practical utility ;
but it will continue to have its periods
of popularity as leading source of
pleasure and amusement.
