He said that men who had carefully
analyzed the testimony taken before the
Hepburn committee, estimated that in
1856 months time the five trunk lines of
Pennsylvania had paid the Standard
company $11,000,OOo in rebates. The
railroad companies had be said. com

is ruined financially, and then go on
with their work, leaving their victim
stranded. AS a reward, the combines

the thought of the common people was
gradually becoming fixed to the effect
that great railway combines were grad
ually packing the supreme court with
men in sympathy with their monopo-
listic tendency, and who would do their
bidding. Thus the interstate commerce
law was rendered ineffective. If the
railroad companies can control the ap-
pointment of the encouragement and
of justices of the supreme court, what
DO they care for the law? the witness
asked. The only safe plan, said Mr..
Lockwood, was to take railroads out of
the hands of the corporations and place
them under control of the government,
so that every man could go to market
as cheaply as every other man. He
considered all the railroads of the
country as practically one gigantic
trust, and asserted that they were in
control of our politics, contributing
millions to elect legislators, senators
and judges, and to punish those not
willing to do their bidding. With alb
sOlute equality over the roads, the inde-
pendent companies would drive the
Standard company into a secondary
place in short time. There would
then, he asserted, be no more shooting
down of striking miners, for the miner
could take his product to market as
cheaply as the r.ine monopolist. So

Senator Hanna Tells Some Secrets.
Having downed his opponents in state
convention and nominated his candidate
for governor, Senator Hanna is surpris-
ingly well satisfied with himself. De-
spite his rheumatism which he was
about to take to France for a cure, a
reporter found him in his Cleveland
home, few days after the convention,
in particularly jovial and communica.
tive frame of mind. So copper fastened,
did the future appear to him that for
once he was not afraid to speak the
truth. Why dissemble when there is
no need of assembling to gain your
end? Why not blurt out your real feel
ings, tell little and crow little over
the inwardness of past achievements, an
inwardness kept guardedly secret at the
time as likely to be damaging to
chances of success, for nothing so dear
to mortal man who has won great
stakes by throwing opponents off the
scent, as to tell how he blinded them
by casting sand in their eyes, of how he
deceived them, took them in? And this
pleasure Senator Hanna could not deny
to himself, for had not the time come
when he could safely talk?
Speaking of the campaign of 1896 he
said:
Il made my headquarters at Chicago,
and there watched every move made by
our opponents just as we would watch a
game of chess. We carried the fight into
every state, and kept our opponents
busy at their own homes, SO that they
could not come outside and fight us.
OF course, we spent large amount of
money. We had to. When the cam

Senator Butler Serves Notice.

! Who edits the Caucasian, of RALEIGH
and Clinton. North Carolina, we cannot
I say. Originally the name of Senator
Marion Butler stood at the head of the
editorial page as editor, but more than
a year since he caused his name to be
taken down, and later notice. several
times given, that he was not responsible
Tor what appeared in it's columns. that
II was not to be taken for granted that
the editorial expressions voiced his SEN
tlments and views. And when his name
was taken down no other name was run
up, so that we now know not whom the
editor may be, and we presume we must
regard the Caucasian as a ship at sea
without pilot So every one takes the
declarations of the Caucasian somewhat
as seml-ofhclal announcements of Sena-
tor Butler, to be discredited or repudi-
ated by him if it suit his purposes. And
so all things considered, we fancy we
are justified in assuming that the fol-
lowing paragraph from the editorless
Caucasian voices the views of Senator
Butler, uncovers his present purposes:
We quote the following extract from
the address recently issued by Parks
National Organization committee. After
declaring it to be the intention of this
committee to organize bolts from the
various conventions leading up to the
national convention, in the event thew
happened not to control, the address
says:
Should the national convention of
1900 be controlled in the interest of flu
sion, the straight delegations shall
leave said convention and join the con-
testing delegations sent under this plan
IN straight convention, and there carry |
out the will of the people for the ma
ton without regard to the fusion con- |
vention.
"Now, laying aside the question of
fusion, as party policy, and granting |
that it may be either beneficial or detri-
mental to the party, it seems to us that |
any man or set of men who thus declare
their intention to refuse to abide by the |
tion of the Peoples party, coming as it
does from the rank and file itself of the
party voters, in the event they fail to
run roughshod over it, create an ele-
ment OF discord Of which the party
would be better rid.'
Now, the meaning of this is quite evil
dent. There is nothing to be gained by
closing our eyes to it; much is to be
gained by looking squarely in the face
Of that which we may expect to be
called upon to face. It serves notice
upon the straight Populists who organ
ize under the plan of action adopted by
The national organization committee at
Kansas City few weeks since, that if
hey or their delegates to the national
will not agree to abide by
the action of that convention, even
though it declare for fusion and nomi-
nate Mr.. Bryan, which it is the declared
purpose of the followers of Senator But

Clearing Sale of Dress Goods

Nobody that we have heard of
has ever denied that we always
sell dress goods for less money
than rival shops. These clearing
sale prices are merely irresistible
commands for these goods to
vacate. Some of the prices, when
you see the goods, will seem as if
we are giving the away. And
some of them really make US feel
that way. But it's all in life
time, anyway. But these dress
goods must bid us good bye, to
make room for a new stock that
will in all probabilities be double
the price.

DIFFERENT KINDS OF STORMS.

In these days of tropical hurricanes and
Western tornadoes the frequent mistake
is made of applying the term Cyclone"
unfortunately in designating either of
these two very different classes of storms
The storm question is one that is in fact
too persistently recurring, and it may be
wen TO indicate the difference in the
terms, for there is a difference and a
wide one.
The tornado is purely a local storm
a land storm, and though terribly destruc-
tive to life and property it is the small
est of all local weather disturbances. I'm
der given conditions It may form in the
United States anywhere east of the Rocky
mountains. but it is of most frequent oc-
currence in the plains and rolling country
of the Mississippi valley. It's terribly
destructive effect is caused by the high
velocity of the rotary winds about its core
which may be anywhere from 100 to 500
miles an hour, and not so much by its
forward motion which may reach sixty
miles an hour, but is usually very much
less. The tornado's path is usually very
narrow, and the distance it travels Is,
conditions with which it has to contend.
The term Cyclone" on the other hand
is applied to storms whose operations
are widely differentiated from those of
local storms, and which at times reach
continental magnitude. The word cy-
clone is of technical and not of popular
origin. Ii was first used by a scientist
which consist OF a rotation of winds about
a common center and was applied both TO
the famous "typhoons' of the Philippines,
the China sea and japanese waters and
the hurricanes" of the West Indies. At
lantic and Gulf coasts of the United
States which originate in the tropics near
the equator. Though the largest tornado
rarely has diameter of a mile, the small
est of the tropical cyclones rarely falls
below 100 miles in diameter, and they have
been known to have a diameter as high
as 1000 miles The origin and course OF
these storms is generally well known TO
those who live anywhere in the neigh
borhood of the path usually followed by
them. As in the case of tornadoes, how
ever, II is the rapid rotary motion of the
air around the center that causes the great
destruction attendant upon the appear
ance of a cyclone, and not its forward mo-
ton along its path which is usually COM
paratvely slow.
The mistake that is usually made is not
in the use of the term tornado" to desig-
nate the tropical cyclones, but In calling
the local tornado a cyclone. In fact il
sometimes seems as If the term tornado
were in danger of falling into disuse.

IMPROVEMENT IN BALING COTTON.


The competition between the round cot
ton bale and the standard cotton bale is
having one good effect. 1t is causing more
care 70 h. taken IN baling cotton. Here
tofore there has been an ineXcusable
amount of carelessness in baling cotton. \
very large percentage Of the cotton arriv-
ing at the ports mas been insufficiently
covered, or covered so badly that there
was a very considerable loss of cotton. II
was not an uncommon thing 10 see bales
with the cotton at their ends or on their
sides FUZZY exposed 1t was an easy matter
for rain to get into the bales and damage
the cotton, and for cotton TO drop out of
the poorly covered bales during the pro-
cess of handling.
A day or two ago two bales of the stand
ard type were exhibited in this city. They
attracted general attention because of
their superiority in every particular 10 the
ordinary bale of the old type. Although
they contained so pounds of cotton each
they didn't appear to be anywhere near
so large as the irTegularly shaped and
ragged looking bale that has been coming
to this market from time immemoriaf The
cotton was thoroughly covered. thus pro-
tectiug it from the weather and preventing
loss in handling it. 1t cannot be predicted
of course with any degree of certainty
what the outcome of the competition be
tween the round and the standard bale
will be, but it looks now as if the stand
ard bale would hold the fed for long
time to come, notwithstanding the efforts
18th, - tl..,
round bale. provided those who are making
the standard bale are careful to cover the
cotton thoroughly and bind it properly.
1t is claimed for the round bale that the
spinners would rather have 1t and will pay
more for it. On the other hand it is as
serted that only the mills which have
stock in the round bale companies are will
ing to pay more for cotton in bales of that
description. What the truth of the matter
is we do not undertake to say-there ap-
pears to be so much said in behalf of both
the standard and the round bale that 1t is
practically impossible to discover just what
the truth is.
There is one thing that is against the
round bale, and that is that the
process for making it Is owned
by a trust or monopoly. The round bale
presses cannot be bought. The companies
which own them bale cotton only for a
royalty The royalty isn't exorbitant prob
ably, but the cotton growers are afraid
that if they should permit the standard
press boxes to be thrust aside and have
all of their cotton baled by the round bale
process it wouldn't be long before the
owners of the round bale system would
practically have the entire cotton crop I'M
der their control. and would be in a posi-
ton to put up or down the price of cotton
whenever they saw fit to do so.
The cotton farmers are not anxious to
put themselves in the clutches of a mon
opoly of that sort Before they will take
kindly to the round bale the round bale
presses win have to be sold as freely as
are the plows with which the cotton is
cultivated

The Queens Stockings.

A little story, quite in the style of Hans
Andersen, about the Queen of Italy and
poor child points an important political
moral which we leave it to our readers
acumen to discern, says the London
Chronicle. Her majesty was recently
walking in a Roman suburb when she no.
ticed a pleasant-faced little girl and spoke
to her. There was a little converse ton.
and the Queen asked the child what she
could do in the way of needlework. Il
can knit stockings, signora," replied the
girl. DO you know who 1 amp" con-
tinued the Queen. Yes. signora, you are
the Queen" well, then, make me a pair
of stockings and send them to the pal
ace A few days afterward the stock
ings arrived, and Queen Margherita in re-
turn for the gift sent the child a beauti-
ful pair of rose-colored stockings, the one
filed with sweets, the other with money
Next day the Queen received a letter from
her little friend couched in the following
words "Sgnora, your gift has caused me
no end of tears My father collared the
money my elder brother grabbed the
sweets, and as 20 the stockings, why
mother put them on herself.r
