and the territory of Oklahoma.
The points in Nebraska which he has
selected where exhibits will be collected
are Omaha, Lincoln, Hastings, Fremont,
Columbus and Norfolk.
Mayor Simpson has promised to give
the matter attention ut this point and
will undertake, with the assistance of
those whose interests lie in this direc.
tion, to collect an exhibit Of merit.
Mr.. Shepperd desires to secure from
the country of which Norfolk is the
commercial center tho best peck Of rye,
the best peck of barley and the best peck
of white corn that can be found. Also
the best one. half bu>hel, each, OF wheat,
oats and yellow corn.
He has made arrangements with Mr..
Simpson to forward these to Washing
ton, at government expense, where they
will be put in glass cases, labeled with
the growers name, the place where the
sample was grown, the variety, yield
per acre and other data of interest and
information.
It is also desired to secure one stalk
each of white and yellow corn, the pro-
duct of one kernel of gram, to be pulled
while green with the ears on and to be
cured in dark or shady place so that
the color and form may be kept as
natural rs possible. The stalks selected
will also be carefully boxed and shipped
to Washington where they will be
labeled with the interesting details and
sent to Paris.

priately mounted at Washington.
Orders for transportation and full
directions regarding the collection of the
exhibit have been left with Mayor j. Il.
Simpson from whom further inform
alton may be obtained. Mr.. Simpson
has voluntarily assumed this task with.
out hope of compensation in order that

sented
The farmer whose grain is chosen will
secure prize worth having as it will be
on display at an exhibition which is eX-
pected to surpass anything heretofore
given in the history of the world, and it
will indeed be an honor to be repre-.
sented there.
That there will be an interest taken
by progressive and enterprising farmers
to furnish the exhibits desired is un-
questioned and the results of the compe-
tition will be closely watched by all.

The New Meat Tax.

II the government Of the United States
should propose to levy tax of two cents
Oh every pound of meat eaten by the PEG
pie it would create something very much
like revolution. The people would not
stand it.
But when the same tax is levied by an
impudent, greedy and Iaw-breakiDg quar-
tel of Chicago meat spectators the peo-
pie submit without resistance or even pro
test. Those who have the extra two cents
pay the price; those who have not 20 with
ont the meat.
One reason why conspiracy of speeu-
Ialors can accomplish easily that which
the government OF the United States could
not accomplish at all is that while the peo-
pie depend upon the State and federal gov
ernments, through the President and the
Governors and the Attorney General, TO
enforce the laws against these illegal and
pernicious moDopolies, the Attorney Gen.
eral Of the United States says that the re.
NEEDY lies wholly with the State govern.
ments, v lille the State officials insist that
ii lies wholly With the federal government.
To the meantime the tax Of two cents q

will be collected. World.

CONFERENCE ON TRUSTS
] Sterling Morton's Endorsement
of the Scheme.

The Civic Federation, Of Chicago. rs
Arranging TO Hold the Conference
on Sept. I3-Delegates Are Expected
From Many states.
Chicago, Aug. 1.-THE Civic Fed
Grafton, which is arranging for a con-
ference on trusts to be held in this
city Sept. 1S. has been notified by the
governors of many states of the ap-
pointment of delegates to represent
their states. Among other letters re-
ceived from men endorsing the con-
ference is one from the Hon. J. Sterling
Morton, of Nebraska, in which he
says:
"Forty-five years ago | came to Me-
braska 1t was then more than 800
miles from any point within. its
boundaries to a railroad. All capital
was individual There was no cor
poration anywhere within the limits of
the territory There were very few
corporations in Iowa or Missouri
THE first corn planted on the farm
where l lived in 1855, and have lived
ever since, was dropped by hand and
covered with hoe. So was the sec
ond crop. But the man with the hoe
has departed The village blacksmith
who made hoes has been crushed out
by the cruel competition of combined
capital There are today ten million
acres planted to corn in Nebraska II
promises a yield of 30 bushels to the
acre. This will make an average of
100000 900 bushels for the state. If
the hoe. and the man with the hoe,
who dropped the corn with his fingers
had never been supplanted by the
double rowed, two horse corn planter,
and in tillage crushed out by double
rowed cultivators, such breadth of
corn would have been an impossibility
Combinations of capital made the corn
planters, made the cultivators, crushed
out the village blacksmith and rele-
gated the man with the hoe to ever
lasting inutility.
But the great mi..situde OF mouths
which consume foods made from corn
get this food at less price than they
ever did before, and for very small
per cent of what the cost of corn food
would have been at this time if it had
continued to be planted and cultivated
by man with hoe
nest sehpieS are ILLUSTRATIVE OF
the fact that all the great combinations
of capital, while they may put out of
employment a vast number of travel
ing men and others differently employ
ed, they also reduce competitive waste.
The travelling men and all their ex-
penses have been paid invariably by
the consumers of the goods which they
sold. The entire advancement and i'm
provement of the industrial world are
marked by the wrecks and ruins of
individuals, but Illuminated and glori
fed by the advantages which they have
given TO the multitude"

TILLMAN ON RACE TROUBLES.

Pitches Into Whitecappers Who Have
Been Terrorfzing "A Georgia County.
Greenwood, S. c., Aug 1.-THE sec
ond day of the Farmers institute was
enIivened by a speech from Senator
Tillman The senator pitched into
the whitecappers who have been ter
rorizing portion of the county for
the last ten DAYS and whipping inof-
fensive negroes. He thought If the Toll
berts, the Republican party leaders in
this section of the south. were still
stirring up the negroes, they ought to
be dealt with IF you want to uproot
this evil and kill the snake, go kill
the Tolberts, but don't abuse the poor,
innocent black wretches," said the sem
ator in an outburst.
.'The Yankees" said Senator Till
man" are watching us closely and the
eyes of the whole world are now on
the race problem in the south. This
sort of thing, If continued. will arouse
bad feeling. Why, just look at that
Jewett woman coming down here and
taking away the negro postmaster's
family. +" continued the senator She
came from Boston, the hold and center
of all deyilment. The Yankees are
ready TO take up any such deviltry as
this whitecapping business and you
people ought 70 put step to 1t"

The Shame of II.

Bishop Boyd Vincent of the Protestant
Episcopal church has this to say of the
present war -
aside from all questions of constitution
ahly or mere expedi sncy, it is the moral
situation in which we find ourselves placed
in the Philippines which it seems to me
ought TO distress every true American
heart. 1t is SO utterly unsAmerican in
spirit, SO almost inhuman How any
genuine American with the principles of
the Declaration Of Independence in his
soul can look complacently at what is going
on day in the Philippines, l cannot
understand.
With every fresh battle fought / want
to hide my face in shame and horror at
what my country is doing there. What
crime have those Filipinos committed that
under the very Stars aud Stripes we should
be shooting them down by thousands, as
the Spaniards did before us ? Absolutely
nothing, but that they want -independence
and selfgovernment like our owl"

Outside of Kentucky the revolt of Dem
ocratic politicians against the party's State
ticket is made to appear as opposition to
boss power, supposed to be illustrated by
William Goebel the candidate for Cover
nor. Within the State an entirely differ
emit story is told. The opposition is in
spired by the Louisville and Nashville Rail
road Company, which seeks TO rule
Kentucy precisely as great railroad cor
poratiOns, when they have a mind TO- rule
New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and
other States. The Louisville and Nash
vile has found fOrman worthy of its
steel in Goebel, and on that account be is
denounced as boss by the agents of the
corporation It is very pretty fight as
matters stand, but Goebel will win, for
the masses understand the situation and
are with him.

Commander Percy st. John, of the
British gunboat Peacock, now in British
Columbia as an invalid, who severely
criticiz ID General Otis and the general
conduct of the war in the Philippines and
then repudiated the statements made by
him to several sspaper men, has reiter-
ated them when again INTERCEPTED on the
subject. Asked whether the original inter
view was correct or incorrect, he said -
"Oh, it's inconect l meyer gave an
interview to any one. only went to see
Otis once, and, of course, he entertained
me very well. But he is silly old fellow,
anyway. If he doesn't know much about
war. and there is no end in sight for the
war SO far The general impression around
Manila is that he is not competent. The
officers down there cannot bring the war to
a successful ISSUE but, although Otis is in
competent, it would not do for me to say
so, you know
Then the Peacock commander went
on criticizing General OTIS in Just the way
he had been reported in the interview
which he said was not true but asked that
nothing might be said about his personal
opinions. President Mckinley clings 10
his failures. and General Obs will probably
be continued in favor like Shaher, Eagan
and Alger until his retention is declared
by the Republican managers to be danger
ons in political point Of view.

MURDERED ON The BOARDWALK.


Enrmged Brother-fn-I law shoots Wm.
H. Carson at Beimar, \. j.
Belmar, N. J.. Aug 14.--A murder
occurred on Saturday evening on the
boardwalk here in the presence of
fashionable promenaders. The muir
dered man is William H. Carson, the
young assistant prosecutor Of the pleas
of Camden county. well known all
over the state. and the man who sent
him to his death is AL Sheets. who
formerly belonged in Philadelphia. but
who has lived here for three years
past.
Carson and Sheets married sisters.
Sheets blamed Carson for his domestic
troubles, and frequently said that he
had influenced his wife against him. Il
IS claimed that Sheets made a threat
that If he ever met Carson here he
would shoot him on the spot. For the
first time since he uttered that warning
the men came face to face on the board
walk Carson was with his wife and
sister-in-law Without any warning
Sheets pulled out a revolver and, with
Carson standing dire city in front OF
prosecutor. One of the shots hit Car
son in vital spot and he fell uncon-
scious. Satisfied that he had done his
work, Sheets jumped to the beach and
fired two shots at his own head. One OF
the bullets struck him behind the right
ear. Mr.. Carson was sent home. and ne
was dead when the doctor reached
him. Sheets was sent to the hospital in
Long Branch. where he died a few
hours later.
It was a sorrowful party that left
Belmar Monday, consisting of Mrs. Car
son. the murdered mans widow; her
father. Horace M. Sharp. and her two
sisters. The body had been embalmed
by Fithian Simmons, of Third and
Market streets, Camden. a member OF
Mr.. Carson's Masonic lodge. who has
charge of the funeral. 1t was taken to
Mr. Sharp's residence, No. 726 Cooper
street. where it will remain until the
funeral, ON Wednesday.
