CAUTIOUS CRITICISMS ANSWERED.
From The Wilmington Del) News.

FROM Inc W wilmington tl1eI) News
It will be found that the President answers fully
and completely the captous criticisms of the Bryan
contingent and that he stands firmly by what has
been done and which he considers to have been in
thorough accord with circumstances they have
arisen. The letter should be read by all thought
full readers, and especially by those who have had
their minds clouded by the shrieks and misrepre-
sensations Of the enemies of the Government.

RAILROAD RECONSTRUCTION
GhouIs Mutulate Corpses of Flood Victims
Fifty Fiends Killed.

Houston, Textile ghouls have
been having an orgie over the dead at
Galveston. The majority of these Een
are negroes, but whites took part in
the desecration of the dead. Some Of
them were natives and some had beer
allowed to go over from the mainland
under the guise of ''relief" workers.
Not only did they rob the dead, but
they mutilated the bodies in order to
secure their ghoulish booty.
A party of ten negroes was return
ing from a looting expedition. They
stripped cOrpses of all valuables and
the pockets of some of the looters
were fairly bulging out with the fin
gers of the dead which had been cut
off because they were so swollen the
rings could not be removed. In
censed at this desecration and mutila-
ton of the dead, the looters were shot
down, and it has been determined that
all found robbing the dead shall be
summarily dealt with. In robbing the
dead ears were also stripped from the
head in order to get the jewelry.
A few government troops who sur
vived, and private citizens, have been
patrolling the city and have endeav-
ored to prevent the robbing of the
dead and on several occasions have
killed offenders. 1t is said that at one
time eight were killed and at another
time four. Altogether a toral of those
executed exceeds fully fifty.

To shorten labor and save time is
to lengthen life. When, therefore, our
contemporary, the Haberdasher, pro-
poses to reduce the burden Of business
correspondence by abolishing 'Dear
Sir" and yours Very Truly it is pro-
posing a reform in the interest of Ion
gevity. Actual experiment has shown
that it takes a typewriter one hour to
write the formal words with which
they are opened and closed in a batch
OF 800 letters. The Haberdasher finds
that on the estimated total annual let
ter mail of the world, which is eight
thousand million pieces, the "Dear
Sirs' and "Yours Very Trulys" even
IL all written by machine, would take
the time of one typewriter 600 years,
counting 300 days to the working year.
The cost of the typewriting thus need
lessly done every year, allowing $40
per week as the typewriter's wages, is
$3,35O,OO0. Why not, it asks, drop
these meaningless phrases and begin
right off, "John Smith & Co." Say
what you have to say and sign it ''T.
Brown & Co." Why not, indeed? Is
a telegram less courteous or effective
than a letter? But we never use any
more words in kilograms than are
needed to convey our meaning.

Fifty years ago boys and young men
in the wooded districts of the West Sc
cured pocket money through the sale
Of ginseng root. Stories were told Of
how the demand for ginseng came from
China, and that this steady demand en-
abled the local dealers to pay a good
price for the product that grew wild in
the woods. AS early as 1922 the Unit.
ed States shipped $4,000 pounds Of
ginseng yearly to China. This had a
value then of $4,000. The 10000
pounds shipped from this country to
China in 1897 had value of $4,000,
and the 125,000 pounds shipped in 1899
had value of 100000. In the early
years of the trade American physicians
scorned the idea Of ginseng's having
any great therapeutic value. The ply
sicians of this day take the same posi-
ton, and yet the ginseng root, worth in
it's green state from 40 to so cents a
pound in this country, and from $1.75
to $3.50 pound dried, sells in China at
prices ranging from $S to $25 pound.
The rapid settlement Of the West and
the destruction of forests curtailed the
production of ginseng, but it is esti-
mated that since a shrewd old African
sea captain opened the trade with
China 100 years ago we have sold to the
Chinese ginseng to the value Of $685.
100000. This is so much clear gain,
because there is a demand for the root
neither in this country nor in any for
eign country except China. The present
disturbances in China have interfered
with the occupation of the ginseng dig
gers in the mountains and wooded dis
tricts Of Kentucky, Tennessee, West
Virginia and North Carolina AS no 9TH
er country will buy their "sang," these
diggers are in favor Of an early settle
ment Of the Chinese troubles.

Census Work Progressing.

Washington, D. C.-The opera
tors of the counting machine in the
Census Office have counted more than
As 900, 900 of the names of residents OF
the United States and are going ahead
at the rate of a million a day. 1t is
the expectation that this machine count
will be completed within the next
thirty days, as the generally accepted
total population of the country is in
the neighborhood of 75,000,000.
AS fast as the count of any one city
is verified the population is announced.
Director Merriam will only announce
separately cities of $4,000 population
and over, those of less size being in
cluded in State returns. The director
says the count of cities has been COM
pleted, and in some States nearly so,
and he will be able to begin the pub
lication of State populations by Octo-
ber I.
The count of Los Angeles was COM
pleted several days ago, but the veri-
fication proves slow work.

A Western railroad is said to be about
to change the name brakeman" on it's
passenger trains to assistant conduc-
tor" since in these days Of pneumatic
brakes the new term more properly de-
scribes the duties to be performed.
However this may turn out, the fact re-
mains that many positions in life retain
Ia name long after 1t has ceased to de
scribe the real work Of it's occupant.
For example, we call man who sells
meat butcher, although he may never
have been inside slaughter-house, nor
slain so much as q chicken.

Murdered for their Money.

PHOENIX (Ariz.,) Sept. 15.-News
reached here this morning of fearful
double murder at Gutherie, near Clof-
ton, last Tuesday. While John McGee-
han and John Mcbride wer asleep at
the saloon of the former, party of
Mexicans visited the place about 3
o'clock in the morning for the pur-
pose of securing large sum OF money
believed to be in McGeehans posses
sion.
The sleepers were awakened, and
opened fire, but both fell before the
bullets of the robbers, and were dead
when neighbors aroused by the shots
came to their assistance. A hat left
by one of the assassins furnished a
clew and the owner and one other
Mexican were arrested and taken to
Clifton. 1t is believed three more are
implicated in the murder.
The populace was greatly aroused
over the tragedy and a lynching was
feared. A guard was set around the
prison and the following day one of
the guard, Longfellow Saldo, was
killed by bullet from gun carelessly
handled by Manuel Bristlles, another
guard. Mcclellan was formerly OF
Shasta county, CAL, where he has con-
siderable property, Mcbride was also
a California man.

tract existing between the two COM
panies. The complaint proceeds to
show that the Southern Pacific, long
before the completion of the Santa Fe
system, established certain schedules
of rates. and adds:
Notwithstanding the said Santa Fe
system is under a different manage
ment, ownership and control than the
Southern Pacific system, and is COM
peting line, nevertheless it did not,
upon the completion and establishment
of it's through system, establish diff
ferent or competing schedule, but that
the said Santa Fe system adopted the
same schedule of rates and charges
which had many years prior thereto,
and was then, adopted and carried into
effect by the said Southern Pacific
Company, and upon the information
and bill of the complainant alleges
that the adoption of the Santa Fe sys-
tenn of the identical rates of the said
Southern Pacific Company was done
solely under and by virtue of the terms
of traffic contract now existing be-
tween the Southern Pacific Company
and the said Santa Fe system; that
contract has for it's purpose and OBJ
ject, among other things, the perpetu-
alton and continuance of discrimina-
tion and inequality of rates against
Los Angeles, and upon a like infor-
nation and belief the complainant al
leges that by the terms of the said
contract, and by an agreement between
said parties, the defendant earnings
of the said Southern Pacific Company
for doing the carrying of said freight
are shared by said Santa Fe system
to the extent that the said railroad
companies of said systems do not par
ticipate in said carrying, contrary to
the provisions of section 20 of article
12 of the constitution of the State of
California"
Attached schedules show the extent
of the alleged discrimination in rates.
The Los Angeles jobbers ask for In
adjustment of the rates on mileage
basis, which has heretofore been re-
fused by the carriers, for the reason
that in their opinion the greater cost
of hauling freight over the Tehacnepl
Mountains does not Justify it.

ALUM BAKING POWDERS.
Congress Acting to Suppress Their Sale.

The report of the Senate Committee
on Manufactures upon the subject OF
food adulterations and food frauds has
created a sensation in Congress and
awakened great interest throughout
the country.
If there could be published a list of
the names of all articles of food found
by the Committee to be adulterated
or made from injurious ingredients, it
public.
The recommendations of the Com
mittee that the sale of alum baking
powders be prohibited by law, will
make of special interest the following
list of names of baking powders which
chemists have found to coptain alum:
K. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. Contains, Alum.
Mani. by Jaques Mfg Co., Chicago.
CALUMET. .......... Contains Alum.

Mani. by Home Baking Powder Co.,
San Francisco.
BEEHIVE. ........ -. Contains Alum,
Mani. by Washington Mfg. Co., San
Francisco.
CLOVER LEAF. F......... Contains Alum.
Mani. by Pacific Mfg Co., Los Angeles.
1t is unfortunate that many manu-
facturers of alum baking powders state
that their powders do not contain
alum. 1t is only right that consumers
should have correct information as to
the character of every article of food
offered to them.

The first census returns to come in
show that the most rapid growth of the
last ten years has been in the border
land about the big cities-just outside
the heart Of the town, but not far
enough to be in the country. The troll
ley car is probably responsible for this
development. 1t has made possible the
thick peopling of land which was for
lmerly too far out for the homes of per-
sons whose daily work was in the city.
Anything that reduces the pressure

A Tragedy of the Pacific.

A story of battle on Layson Island,
a small speck in the Pacific, which was
once a Hawaiian dependency, reached
here today by the bark Ceylon, which
brought to Honolulu all the partici-
pants in the affair. 1t was fight be-
tween Capt. Spencer, the "King of the
Island, and forty japanese laborers,
who were taken there to help to load
vessels from Honolulu with guano.
The captain fired eight bullets into the
crowd of forty men killing two of them
and Wounding three others.
There were only five white men on
the island when the trouble took place
According to the story of Capt. Spen-
Ger, the Japanese had planned to seize
the island and kill all the whites. On
the evening of August II they assem-
bled in front of his residence, and there
was lengthy discussion. 1t ended
when the Japanese made rush to take
the place. Capt. Spencer stood his
ground with siX-shooter in each hand
and fired at the leaders. The ringleader
and one other man fell dead, and three
Japanese dropped to the ground with
serious wounds. The other thirty-five
fled.
Capt. Spencer and the other whites
remained on guard all night, and the
next day they began to round up the
Japanese and put them on board the
ICeylon to be taken to Honolulu. They
were all put below in the hold, with
THE matches fastened down, and the
bark started away from the island,
leaving behind two white men, Capt.
ISpencers son and the carpenters en-
'poyed by the guano company.

ACTING LIKE BOXERS
The French and Russians Guilty of Fright
ful Atrocities.

New York.-A special to the Sun
from Peking says: "The French and
Russian troops who are arriving now
are guilty of frightful atrocities. At
Tung Chow they assaulted women and
killed children. Gen. Fukishima, one
of the Japanese commanders, made a
personal complaint to the Russian and
French generals, and urged Gen. Chat
fee to do likewise.
''The Sixth United States Cavalry
reconnoitered as far as Hunting Fork,
the fork of the road to Huanling, north
of Peking, and killed two Boxers
whom they met. They also destroyed
large stores of rice.
"Owing to stress Of military busi-
ness, Gen. Chaffee refuses to allow
press correspondents the use Of wires
from Peking to Taku."
