Trusts Iniure Labor.

1t is stated by the advocates Of
trusts that their action can have no
effect to injure the laborer em-
ployed by them. A practical illus
tration of the falseness of this the
DRY was lately seen by the action of
the glass trust lately instituted.
The National Glass Company, Of
Pittsburg, has been absorbed by the
monster Glass Trust lately organ
lied. 1t employs several hundred
salesmen. AS soon as the National
Glass Company entered the combi-
nation its first action was to call all
these statesmen home, which meant
their discharge. The work will in
the future be performed at one CEN
trail selling agency for the product
of all the factories included in the
consolidation, One agent, with
slight help, will do all the work of
the discharged statesmen, throwing
hundreds of these men out of en-
ployment and compelling them to
seek other modes of making a liv-
ing and maintaining their families,
and yet those who favor trusts
have the face to maintain that the
latter will have no effect to injure
the wage Garner. We show the
'allacy of their arguments.

The state board of health in a
circular letter issued with reference
to the spread Of smallpox in this
State gives the information that
since the disease was first reported
in Bedford county in the month of
November, 1898, it has made its
appearance in more than twenty
one counties and more than 100 diff
ferent localities. The number of
cases reported is about 900 and the
number OF deaths seven. The board
urges that in all communities the
proper precautions be taken in the
way of general vaccination, isola-

of emergency hospitals.

The Democratic party in the

the present time, says the Pittsburg

Why the Beef Trust is 0mnipotent.

An advance in the price OF cattle
on the hool at Chicago to SO. 90 per
hundred pounds, the highest price
reached since 1882, and which
means still higher prices to those
who buy steaks and roasts for FAM
lily consumption, is variously ac-
counted for, with decided pre-
ponderance of denunciation of the
greed of the Beef Trust, which is
supposed to have a corner in the
supply Of fat cattle.
While it is probably true that the
wealthy beef-slaughtering corpora
tions of Chicago and elsewhere are
making the most of the pres.
ent enormous demand for beef
and beef products, both at home
and abroad, the public should not
lose sight of the fact that the chief
factor in the advance of beef prices
is short supply and an unusual
demand. The price of beef will
not be lowered to a fair and normal
rate by denunciation, and the SEN
sible plan will be that of remedying
as fast as possible the real evil,
a short supply of cattle. Since
1892, when the cattle in the United
States other than mich cows num-
bered 1861, 900, the number has
steadily decreased until, according
to a recent report Of the Department
of Agriculture at Washington, the
cattle available for meat purposes
only numbered IS, 900, 900. These
figures alone tell the story Of the
present high price for beef.
The causes for this decline in the
number OF beef cattle in the face OF
a constantly increasing demand for
beet are very apparent. The great
cattle ranches of the West fright
ened the ordinary farmers out OF
the cattle-raising business. The
droverS and butchers who used to
traverse the country buying one an
imal of this farmer and another oi
that are out of the business because
the small farmers do not raise cat
I tie any more. The great cattle
ranches of the West have long since
reached the limit of production, and
until the farmers throughout the
country engage once more in the
cattle-growing business the supply
is bound to be below the demand.
We think it was a mistake fol
the farmers Of the older states tc
permit themselves to be driven out
of the business at all. The farmer,
have suffered in pocket and the
farms in productiveness in conse
quence, and the sooner they return
to the old practice of raising a lin
tied amount of cattle to be sold for
beef from time to time, the better
for farmers and beef consumers
The Beef Trust controls the mar.
ket now because of a limited sup
ply of cattle held in few hands
but with the small farmers agair
furnishing a supply of cattle to 10.
cal butchers and dealers, the latter
as we'll as the beef-consuming pub.
lie, could once more snap their fin.
gers i'll the face OF the Beef Trust
and we are satisfied that the farmers
would find more profit in the
change than in the growing of un.
limited quantities OF cheap wheat
and corn. .-PHka. Times.

HE SAWED WOOD.
Just as HYder Davis Took a Stick
 the Cop Took Him


 Police court opened this morning with some interesting cases. Judge Brown called the first case on the docket, which proved to be charge against C.eB. Gray for stealing a quart of whiskey. Gray, so the testimony shows, went to Reeves Bros. and quietly went behind the counterg took a quart of " hiskey out of the show case and walked brisklv towards the front door. He however, went into the arms of two policemen, who relieved him of the whiskey and placed it back in the salooL and escorted Gray to police headquarters, where this morning he was fined $l0.
 The second case was for fast driy- ing; Joe Caldwell. colored, for this offense was fined S3.
 The third, and interesting case, was that of Hyder Davis charged with stealing wood The story runs like the officer and the thief were both playing hide and seek with each other, the officer seeking the eulprit, and the defendant hiding as much wood as possible. The cop sat on the dray while the colored man took a long stick of wood out Of the wood pile back of where he lives; when he had it down on the ground the cop walked up and says: '.I'll fake you" Davis told the off, CT that he would give him $10 to let him go, finally offering the. pc liceman S25 and divide during the week if he would let him go. Judge Brown after hearing the eyi- dencefined him S2O for stealing a stick wood. This looks like a wood ia mine. The negro wanted to go with q policeman to the depot and tele- graph friend of his at Monticello for the money. The net proceeds realized were S33. .00.
