publican party is also United Safes
district attorney has been emphasized,
tor the purpose, it is believed, OF sug-
gesting the Idea that, as district attorn-
ey, he could invoke the authority OF
the United States government to carry
out the threats made by him as chair
man. Only few days ago two OF these
registrars were arrested by United
States marshals under warrants sworn
out in the home town of the Western
district attorney and his assistant, and
approved by the latter. When these
registrars were brought to trial, al
though both of these officers we're at
home during the whole time OF the
trial, neither OF them appeared to re-
present the government and although
the district attorney was in the court
room during the whole trial, he was
not present as prosecutor for the gov
ernment, but as the representative OF
the Republican party, while the gov
ernment was represented by private
counsel .gho, during the trial, spoke Of
themselves as representing the Repub-
lican party. l have understood that
private counsel could only appear in
government prosecutions by consent
OF the department. It may be that
the department had in this case given
such consent lfso, as the governments =
attorneys were present and not other
wise engaged, there would seem to
have been no reason for the employ
ment of private counsel by the govern
ment, except that one of its prosecut-
ing attorneys was chairman OF po'lti-
cal organization, interested In the pros
ecution for political purposes, while
the other was a candidate for Con
gress, and in that way interested in the
result. This complication would seem
to justify the civil service regulation
against a government official holding
the position of manager of political
organization.
Under this statement of facts, I sub
nit l am justified in calling your at
tent,on to the apparently organized
interference and the offensive activity
OF your appolntees in this State in our
local politics and of their attempt to use
their official positions to influence the
results of the campaign now in prog
rese In this State, and in the interests
of the party with which they are atfil-
lated.

POOR TRUCK SEASON.

Virginian- Pilot, July 18th.
This Is disastrous season for truck
farmers" said prominent railway Off
clal, speaking toa reporter for the
Virginian-Pilot. ut is the worst season
they nave experienced for several
years."
This official is in position to know,
and he Is one of the best informed men
in the city. Hence the reporter went
among the shipping agents to get the
following details in confirmation OF the
railway officials statement.
The potato crop is the largest and
most important crop the truckers
grow. That is the one which shows
the greatest depreciation. Every body
grows potatoes, consequently depre-
citation in that crop is universally felt
Potatoes are selling at Is cents to
$l.25 barrel. This time last year
they were selling for $3.50 to $3.50 a
barrel. That is a tremendous tall in
price. 1t signifies $75 for a hundred
barrels which brought last year $3.50.
One trucker says that the largest po-
tato grower In his neighbvrhood hes
declined to ship his potato crop at all.
The price is 80 low that the returns
will not pay the cost of harvesting
packing transporting. He is blowing
the ground to plant corn for fodder to
feed stock. The potatoes will be left
in the field to rot.
As to other crops, the returns are
variable but less disastrous than the
potato crop. Tomatoes are selling we'll
at $l.25 carrier. That is case that
contains two baskets. They could be
shipped pro6tably, or at least without
loss, Tor 65 cents.
The cabbage crop was an excellent
yield, but the prices did not justify
shipping more than one-half of the
crop. The pr'ce at the end OF the
season fell to sc and Is cents barrel
One-haif of the crop remained in the
field unharyested.
Asparagus was a short, small crop,
which paid we'll. But there are few
growers. The prices were good, 81 to
81 box of dozen punches.
The early crops of spinach and kale
were satisfactory. Not much is isexpect-
ed ot them.
The strawberry crop was profitable
in spots. The long drought aud the
cold, late spring deferred the maturity
Of the berries till they were too late to
get the high prices of the early mar
ket of the Northern cities. The price
declined and the quality OF the berries
became inferior, SO that a great many
fields were left unpicked. The price
ranged firm to IA cents quart.
Thus 1t was about stand-off on the
early crops. Farmers, therefore, ex-
pected to realize their profits and pay
bills out of the returns OF the potato
crop. They have done neither. Hence
it seems true, as the railroad official
declares that this is disastrous seaso n
for the truck farmers.

Twenty Million Pins A Day.
New York Herald.


1t requires an average of more than
10000, 900 pins per day to sustain the
falling skirts, replace the missing sus-
pender buttons and meet the other
Deeds OF the American people. What
becomes of all these pins is question
that nobody has been able to answer,
but there is no falling off in the de-
mand, so that this number must disap-
pear in some manner every day.
1t is hard to imagine anythi ng SIM
pier than pin, and it is strikiE g
proof Of the complications OF our mod
ern industrial sys tenn that every pin In
the course of its manufacture passes
through dozen separate processes, in
volving the greatest skill on the part
of the operatives employed and the
action OF great amount OF automatic
machinery.
The pin makes it's appearance at the
factory in the form OF barrels of colled
brass wire. The first process is that of
Strengthening the wire. The coils are
placed on revolving racks aud fed from
these into little machines, from the
vise-like grip OF which they emerge
perfectly straight. Thence the wire is
fed into the pin making machine, which
is almost as complicated as printing
press. A sharp knife cuts the wire off
into uniform length OF the desired
Sizes. AS each little length of wire
drops from the knife it f..lls upon a
small wheel, the edges of which are
notched into grooves just large enough
to hold the bits of wire.
Each piece is carried along by the
wheel until an iron finger and thumb
seize and hold it firmly, while an au-
tomato hammer, by single smart
blow puts head on one end. Then
the embryo pins fall upon another
grooved wheel, which revolves horizon
tally. As they move on in the clasp of
this second wheel the projecting ends
pass over a number of circular steel
files, which neatly grind them to a
point. Further on they encounter a
pumice stone, which snoothes off the
filed ead, and then they drop into a
wooden receiving tox. S. far no work.
mans hand has touched the pins in
their progress from the reel. The cut
ting, heading, pointing and smoothing
have all been done by the wonde rful
automatic machinery.
From the wooden boxes the pins 20
to the "wbitening" room, where they
are cleaned in revolving barrels filled
with sawdust and receive nickel coat
ing In big watts. Then they are dried
in the sawdust barrels and are run
through "sorting" machine. 1t is
impossible to get the better of this ma
chine.
The big department stores and
wholesale dealers buy their pins by the
case. A case contains 1O8 dozsn pa
pers, 800 pins in each paper. A S,ngie
order from the largest stores usually
calls for 100 cases, or nearly 5O,OOO.O0C
pins.

FREIGHT BY TROLLEY.
Fully Demonstrated at the
City of Toledo, Ohio.

The utility of the rural trolley line
as freight road is receiving very full
demonstration at Toledo. The mana.
gers of suburban line there have de-
vised trolley truck on which a load
ed farm wagon can be readily placed,
the axles of the wagon setting in
sockets which hold it firmly in place.
The farmers are using this style of
transportation when teaming is bad.
Recently, on day when the roads
were in very bad shape, one train that
reached the city included 81 sacks of
clover seed and two wagon loads of
Eastwood lumber.
The farmers sending this shipment
lived Is miles from Toledo and stated
that, with the roads in the condition
they were then in, the seed would
have made at least three ordinary
wagon loads. This would have been
equivalent to 27O miles travel for one
driver and two horses. With the troll
ley service the haulage was accom-
plished in one hour, at cost of six
dollars per wagon from the shipping
point 10 the delivery point. Such ad-
vaDtages, especially in regions where
roads are usually in poor condition,
will naturally give an impetus to the
construction Of rural electric lines.
The advantages of shipping the wag-
ons without loading or unloading at
either end of the line are obvious.

SIAMESE FIGHTING FISH
Eats Raw Meat, and Can Kill Fishes s
Treble Its Size-MalSes n Queer
WhistlinE Sound.

A gamy, omnivorous fish with
cannibalistic tendency is the paradise
fish which sports in the white house
aquarium. In size it is no longer
than ones little finger. The male is
the fighter. though its mate will not
hesitate to take fin against anything
that comes its way. A pair of these
fish were brought to the white house
from Siam ten years ago, and it is es-
timatcd that there are now between
six hundred and thousand of the
species in the aquarium. They are
fed principally on raw meat and are
kept in separate tanks. Their favor
ite prey is the gold fish. and tiny
paradise fish, when the opportunity
offers, will tackle goldfish treble its
size and kill it with one blow from it's
fins.
The paradise fish displays instinct
that comes close to intelligence. 1t
knows it's keeper, and when he goes
near the tank, which he never does ex-
cept when he has food for it, the little
fellow comes to the surface and
makes a peculiar noise which resem-
bles low whistle. This is continued
till the keeper tosses in the food.
When a number of these fish come
to the. surface at the keepers ap-
proach the sound recalls that of a
Hock of quail drumming.

A PRINCES EDUCATION.
tOria Is Getting to De a Big
hoy Now.

The present idol of the British public
10 Prince Edward of York, eldest son of
the duke of York, grandson Of the
prince Of Wales, great-grandson of
Queen Victoria, and the heir in direct
line of the crown of Great Britain.
Prince Edward, having been born on
June 23, 1894, Is now well into his sixth
year, and regards himself as quite big
boy, says Youths Companion.
His brother Albert is year younger,
and the two princes have had, perhaps,
their share, but no more, of brotherly
scraps" The duke of York is said not
to have interfered with their small
wars, saying that to ''let them fight it
out will make them better men," But
he has interfered successfully with an
other weakness of Prince Edward.
It is customary for the royal children,
in meeting the queen, to kiss her hand
and not her cheek; but Prince Edward
did not like to do this, and objected
strenuously. One day he heard some
one speak of "her majesty"
IT know who her majesty is" said
he; "it's just grannyl"
sand who was the naughty little
prince who would not kiss granny's
hand?"
"That was me-" said Prince Edward,
unabashed, "and I'm not going to kiss
granny's hand!"
But when he had arrived at the age
of five he felt himself quite man, and
began to do as other men did-kssed
the queens hand and always doffed his
cap In her presence.
