DEMAND FOR HARVEST HANDS.
Reports published from time to time
in various quarters of the northwest IN
dictate strong competition between
railroad contractors on the one hand
and farmers on the other for the unem
ployed laborers of the country. Rail
roads that are not engaged In building
are interesting themselves to secure
harvest hands to meet the demands of
farmers 1t is given out by the North
ern Pacific that the demand for harvest
hands is general and urgent in the
northwest. A rough estimate from re-
ports received indicates that fully $4,000
men can now find employment in the
fields of the Dakotas, Minnesota and
Montana 1t is true that many men are
moving in that direction, yet the indi-
cations are that a scarcity will be felt
in many places and that higher wages
than usual will rule. One reason for the
the fact that general trade conditions
are better than they We're While ago
and that fewer men ara idle and seek
ing for such work. Then, such rowing
life Is not desired by many when other
opportunities are offered them to secure
employment, and it is not good for the
country, either. 1t Is really an abnorm-
al condition that could with safety be
dispensed with if permanent change
could be brought about

strange Attitude in Chtua.

Washington. Aug. 9.-Some uneasi- |
ness prevails in military circles relative
to the attitude OF China with respect to |
the Filipinos. as the result of her re-
fusal to permit the shipment to Manila
OF horses purchased by agents of Gen. |
Otis on the ground that they are con |
traband of war
While the Picking government has not |
formally recognized the belligerency OF |
Aguinaldo and his followers, the an
nouncement that horses are contra
band" is regarded as dangerously near
such recognition. Officials interpret the
action to mean that China holds that
this government. intsead OF being en-
gagged in the suppression OF an insur-
rection, is involved In a war and that
goods purchased by 1t in her empire for
the use of the American army are con-
|sequently contraband.
The United States government has
taken no diplomatic notice Of China's
declaration that horses are contraband.
The United States would vigorously
protest against recognition OF the bell
iigerency of the Filipinos and for some
time the authorities have been satisfied
that there was no danger of any for
eign state granting such recognition.
Reports received here have shown the
desperate efforts made by the Filipinos
to secure recognition of Aguinaldo.s
government, they having gone so far
as to refuse to permit the release OF
Spanish prisoners unless Spain recog-
nized their belligerency.
Because of the great change which
would occur in the status of the Filipi-
nos by recognition of their belliger-
ency by any nation and the consequent
embarrassment to the United States,
this government is doing everything
possible to prevent it. 1t Is believed
these efforts will be successful, at least
until the result OF the next campaign is
apparent.
Should the dry season end with the
insurgents still in the field, the difficulty
of preventing foreign recognition will
be materially increased.
| In some quarters there is a disposi-
ton to believe that China has been
stirred up to her extraordinary action
] by European interests, but she is re-
garded as altogether too friendly to the
United States to formally recognize the
Filipinos.

was afterwards affirmed by the SUI
preme court Rickel IL known through
out the district as solicitor for per-
sonal damage cases against corpora
tions. In this he is assisted by his red
headed populistic partner. a man named
Croker.
In one of their cases Judge Burn
ham was compelled to decide against
them and they swore vengeance and
have. like sleuth hounds, maliciously
followed Judge Burnham ever since.
BY force of fortunate circumstances
these men We're compelled to get con-
troll of the delegation. Marion. although
in favor of Judge Burnham, was COM
PEELED, on the cry of supporting home
candidate, to support Giffen. Again the
selection OF delegates was at the con-
vention to nominate county candidates
and as there were several for each posi-
ton 1T was easier for their friends to
consent to Giffen delegation than to
run any risk OF offending some Cedar
Rapids delegates whose votes they
needed. The conditions were favorable
for their nefarious work, and 1t shows
what few with malice can do when
conditions are favorable. Had the se-
lection of delegates been separate and
candidates the scheme would have
nine-tenths OF the republicans Of Linn
county were in favor OF Judge Burn
ham.
"The cry Of Hubbard was simply
dust throwing and was for effect
throughout the state. and for what
prejudice 1t could gain in Cedar Rap
ids.
THE scape-goat Of the whole affair
was the weak minded Giffen. He had
no chance of getting the nomination in
any event and only proved to be a
laughing stock Smyth's purpose may
have been reached, but In addition ne
aided in publishing his brother. Both
he and Rickel are safe, as not in a
dozen years would either be recognized
by the republican party of Linn county
or the district. There is no doubt but a
ma jority of the delegation We're inclined
to support Judge Durham after reach
ing Des Moines, but the pirates were
|shrewd enough to keep Giffen in the
track until Burnhams name was with
drawn.
THE punishment meted out to Burn
ham is the same melted out to many a
Judge VINO dares to do right. A Judge is
compelled to meet the malice Of shys-
tering attorneys. If Smyth's brother
Ihad not committed fraud Judge Burn
ham would not have been compelled to
render Judgment against him. and II he
erred the supreme court would have re-
versed him Judge Burnham did right
and the supreme court affirmed him.
going SO far as to say that there was
manifested fraud.
1--WE blame the republicans of Linn
county for allowing this injustice to be
done to Judge Burnhanl. for had they
the courage of their convictions the
scheme of the conspirators could have
been stopped and Judge Giffen saved
from humiliation"

Rallrond Taxation in Vermont.

The Rutland News thinks the railroads
of the state do not bear their fair proper
tion of the public burden Of taxes, and
calls attention to the fact that the savings
banks and trust companies pay on deposits
nearly twice the $112,910 paid on all the
1000 miles Of track, rights of way, fran
chises, cars, buildings, bridges and other
equipments Of all the railroads in Vermont
combined. The News says the Illinois
Central railroad pays on its FOG miles Of
road in Illinois six times as much as all
the roads pay in Vermont. Our contem-
porary continues the argument in this vein
In Illinois the tax is seven per cent on
gross earnings, while in Vermont under
the iniquitous, unfair and inadequate cor
poration tax law handed down by railroad
owned legislation the tax is only IL per
cent. And this is not all. Not only is
the great burden of direct taxation loaded
with all its greviousness upon the people,
and other business and manufacturing in
terests, by this practically scot-free escapes
from taxation on the part of the railroads,
have to pay larger tax, but the indirect
burden is even heavier. Valuable char
tiers, franchises and rights of way have
been given with lavish, almost prodigal
hand, by railroad dominated legislatures
and the return, the reciprocity, II must be
said, has been poor Passenger rates that
are considered fair every where, two cents
mile, are denied in Vermont FREE, ut
rates are at point TO discourage, almost
make impossible, manufacturing develop
| ment.
Proofs could be multiplied indefinitely
that the rate of railroad taxation Is ex-
ceptionally low in Vermont. 1t is almost
| possible TO say that 1t stands unique and
alone. The last annual report of the
Atkinson, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad,
for example, shows that for the year end
ing June 80 last the rate of taxation for
that road averaged 3.47 per cent of the
gross receipts and yet that only amounted
to l2.4l per cent of the net earnings,
showing that the net earnings OF that road
| are about 30 per cent of its total receipts,
They are probably no less in Vermont.
II seems that IL any road should be favor
ed with immunity from taxation it should
| be road like the Santa Fe running as il
| does throughthe arid wastes, the alkali
| plains, the thousands of square miles in
habitated largely by sage brush. But not
so; the Santa Fe pays about 40 per cent
more taxes, dollar for dollar, than Yer
mont railways do, and yet taxes take out
OF the treasury of that road only 81 out of
every IS of its clean profits. What bust
ness man or manufacturer in Vermont es-
| capes with taxes Of only II per cent of
his clear earnings?

Four fishermen were killed or drowned
in Boston harbor Friday night, when a
steamer, supposed to be the Ardanbu,
bound for Halifax, struck and sunk the
schooner Two-Forty. Two others of the
shooner's crew were badly injured, while
five were rescued practically unframed.
Two shoe factories, Irvine factory and
a grist and saw-mill were burned at Ep-
ping, N. H., Friday, entailing a loss of
$32, 900. The fire throws $50 hands out of
employment. Seven buildings were on
fire at one time, and the entire business
section of the town was threatened. The
buildings destroyed were all of wood, and
with the exception of small amount of
insurance on the stock in the Atwood &
Quimby factory, the loss is nearly total.
William Bennett, %, and Rolla Darling,
10, were drowned in the Assabet river at
Marlboro, Mass, Friday by the capsizing

In so doing they capsized the boat. Dorr
alone could swim, and he rendered all
assistance possible to his companions
After an hour Bennett and Darling releas-
ed their hold ON the boat and went down.
Dorr reached shore.
