census laws, the name of the man has

and married there twenty years ago.
He became tired of married life, and

vania, and he went to Newark, where
he married the girl be met on the ship.
Two years ago the mans first wife
came to this country, and found her
husband living with wife number two.
There was no trouble, the man said,
and wife number one took up her resi-
dence with her husband and wife mum.

The husband sent to Germany for
the children by his first wife. He has
had three children by his second wife.

Mr.. Ech0Is' Views.

Lieutenant-Governor Echols, who
was in Richmond last week, was asked
for his views concerning the calling of
the Legislature IN extra session to ar
range for the Constitutional Conven-
tion.
He said be had read the Governor 3
plan in the papers, and thought, taken
as a whole, it was about the best thing
to do in the matter. Mr.. Echols said
he rather thought the time between
the 1st of February and the May elec-
tiOn might prove short for the sitting
of the convention, but that, of course,
would depend upon how rapidly the
body should be able to solve the intricate
problems it would have to deal with
He thought it highly Important to COM
plete the work of framing a new Con-
stitution as early as practicable, and
hoped the instr ument would be ready
for the officers elected in 1901 to take
oath under.
Asked concerning his candidacy for
Governor next year, Mr. Echols said it
was too early for the people to take
much interest in the canvass, but that
everything was moving along as favor
ably as be could hope for.

The Cost Of Our War.

We recently stated in our news col

the war with Spain and the Filipinos
by the end of this north would cost
this country the great sum of $424.

figures furnished by Senator Allison

the war in 1901, it is said by the Com
mittee on Appropriation, will be
$131 ,47,155, and this is given as
permanent annual appropriation.
BY the end of the fiscal year 1901 the

Biqgest Bean Patch.

California has the biggest "bean
patch" in the world. Dixie Thompson
is the "bean King" of California, and
down in Ventura county he has ranch
of 1000 acres devoted exclusively to
the cultivation of beans. There were
5000 acres planted there last year,
which produced 1000 carloads of
beans. Three hundred carloads were
shipped from Santa Barbara county,
the product of about 5000 acres. 1t is
said that 13S distinct varieties of beans
are grown in Ventura county. They
are sown and cultivated in the same
manner as corn, and are harvested bv
special machinery, which cuts the vines
close to the roots. The vines are then
raked into winnows, piled into carts
and are thrashed by steam power ma.
chimes, which are also specially con-
trived for the bean business.

In his letter to Congress, January
10, 1900, the Secretary of the Treasury
said "The revenues are now largely
exceeding disbursements from month
to month, and seem likely to do so for
an indefinite time. This condition
would be a menace to the business
world If assurances were not given
that this surplus would be diverted
from the treasury vaults to public de-
positOries where, while secure to the
Government, it would remain availa
BILE to business use."
The existence of over $500, 200, 600
cash in the Treasury means that the
government not only has the required
gold reserve ($15O, 100000 under the
law just passed), but that it also has
on hand more than $15O,OOO, 900 addi-
tional, available for any possible
emergency.
What possible excuse can there NOW
be for Congress refusing to repeal the
vexatiOus and unjust stamp taxes
which harrass the people?

TRUSTS BY HUNDREDS
Half A Thousand Afoat With $6,000,'
100000 CapitaI.

The Congressional Record is fairly
groaning under the immense load of
anti trust speeches and documents
which the Democrats and POpulists OF
both houses have been dumping into
it.
1t Is done for the purpose of supply
ing campaign material at cost for the
printing and free transmission through
the mails. Millions and millions OF
these documents will be sent over the
United States at comparatively little
expense. The Republicans have been
availing themselves of the same pri-
vilege to some extent, but in bulk
their contributions are not one tenth
of the other side. This is not due to
any compunctions as to the prOpriety
of the practice, but only because of
the lack of suitable material owing to
the defensive attitude into which the
party has been put and from which it
cannot escape.
One of the Democrats inserted in
the Record il list of the trusts which
have been brought into being by the
tariff legislation of the Republican
party. 1t is stupendous exhibit and
the gigantic array Of figures is enough
to take the breath away.
ALMOST EVERYTHING TRUSTED.
These trusts represent in their op-
erations everything that enters into
the life of the people. Nothing for
which price can be demanded, how
ever insignificant, seems to have es-
capped. The result as shown in fig
ures, which cannot successfully be as
sailed, is an advance in every COM
modify under heaven, ranging from 10
to $50 per cent. Incredible as it may
seem, there are nearly 500 of these in
stitutions, representing in the aggre
gate capitalization of $4,000, 900, 900. |
A very large number of these trusts Or
ganized under the law of New Jersey
and New Y ork. There are some pret-
ty steep ones in Chicago and Philadel-
phia and Boston, few on the Pacific |
Coast and a very few small ones in the
