More Blow.

Speaking of blows reminds me to say that
railroad companies received similar blow in
the decision that knocked out the Trans Missouri
Traffic Association. 1t will be recalled that the
case against the first traffic association hung fire
in the supreme court for about five years, and
for so long that the association had dissolved
and formed a new aud stronger combine, under
a new name. When the decision was announced
as being against the defunct organization, there
was not little chatter over The great victory of
the people over the railroad eXtortioners. The
old organization continued to do business under
the new name until in December last, when it
reached out and heightened its cords and
strengthened Its stakes by advancing rates rs
cents per hundred on hogs and cattle, east OF
the Mississippi, and rates on all other things in
proportion Up to date, we have two "blows,"
but, like some other blows, they are wind, and
can be snelled afar off.

According to the assistant director of the
United States mints, the gold mined last year
in the world amounted to about $3.50 900, 900.
There is considerable chuckling over the an
nouncement that Uncle Sam got more than his
share. find, from recent developments, that
Uncle Sam can't keep his share. A lot OF it
went off to England, to repose in the treasury
of her most sacred majesty, Queen Victoria. AS
to how we are to get back that gold that was re-
Gently shipped, am not Informed, but l sup
pose Uncle Sam will issue interest bearing
bonds, and borrow few dollars. We have got
to have gold, even though we have to pledge
every valuable thing in the United States, in
cluding our children. We might do without
meat and overals, but We can't do without gold.

VALUES.

took time, recently from my regular oc-
cupaton of whiting goods boxes, to look up
someanthorties on values. find, from four
thori'es, the claim that money, as measure of
value, is an absurdity These four are politi
cal economists, and their names are Jevon, Mac
leod, Walker and Kitson. | also further learn
ed that value and price are entirely two different
things. Value is inherent worth; price is what
we obtain in the market. Value in a loaf of
bread never changes, but price is up or down,
according to supply and demand, or the number
of "Old Hutcbes' and Joseph Letters. There
is just as much value in loaf of bread hand
ed out to tramp as there is in loaf that was
stolen or paid for. The manner of changing
hands made no difference in its life sustaining

A Blow.

Sometime since, the supreme court of the
United States rendered dicision in what is
known as the Addyston pipe case Three big
water and gas-pipe companies divided territory.
Each company agreed to not sell in the territory
allotted to the other companies. The court
held that such action was contrary to the John
Sherman ants.tlust law. The reader will OBJ
serve that there is nothing in the decision that
will hinder the three pipe companies from all
selling as one firm, just SO the territory is not
divided. Just how this decision is a blow to
trusts is beyond my comprehension; but, since
some of the swel-bellied editors of papers have
announced to the public that it is "blow," l
am willing to come down and let her blow; but
all the same, if this is the hardest elbow" that
can be delivered, trusts will continue to flourish
and the bellies of working men will not swell
from fatness.

No Election for Me.

There are good many people out in favor
of electing United States senator's by vote OF
the people. am feminist the proposition,
and for several reasons. AS long as we elect
as we do now, "poor boys" who break into the
legislatures will have right smart chance to
acquire start in the world; and if we elected
otherwise, one good chance for "poor boys''
would be cut off. Another reason is that SELL
ators ought to be elected for life and day. Ii
senators were elected for life, Clark would only
have had to spend one fortune. AS it is, lie
NAV have to spend several fortunes. Quay is
having world of trouble in getting back, and
that, too, after fixing up one of the best
chimes that was ever creased with filthy lucse.

ED HOWE, of the Atchson Globe, proposed
to occupy Rev. Chas. M. Sheldon's pulpit in
Topeka while the latter gentleman is editing
the Topeka Capital. Howe said he wanted to
know Christ would run church. Mr.. Sheldon
said he had no objection to Howe's proposition,
but the directors OF his church would have to be
consulted. 1t seems that the directors were
not willing AT any rate, instead of occupying
the pulpit Howe will contribute lay sermon
each day to the Topeka State Journal. No
doubt, his sermons will be interesting, but he
probably dosen't know much about how Christ
would run church.

Otis Ovation.

The latest word from the PHILIPPINES is that
the war is over. Otis has captured fourteen
capitals, six Filipino chiefs, Aguinaldos mother
wife, and two children, and will be entitled to
a great ovation when he returns home. l very
sincerely hope that Otis will defer his return
till after the busy season is over, for if he
should come during crop time, there will be
short crop. Farmers cannot attend to their
crops and give Otis the ovation justly his due.
One or the other of the irons is sure to be burn
ed. Patriotic fervor must have an outlet, and
so am in favor OF holding Otis till next Christ
mas, and then we can have Otis and Christmas
all in one l ain also in favor of exhibiting
the ancient Romans

miles north of Dawson, was destroyed
by fire about o'clock Saturday morn
ing. Not only was the Gin house
burned, but forty-two bales of cotton
belonging to farmers of that section
were also consumed.
The loss will approximate $4,000, OF

plant and 81, 600 by cotton. Mr.. Jones
had 81, 800 insurance on the machinery
and building, but none of the cotton
