THEY SQUEEZED HARD.

The San Francisco Gail explains
how the Tobacco Trust successfully
worked cold bluff on the dealers of
Los Angeles not long ago.
The method of dictation is not
limited to the Tobacco Trust, but is
weakness affecting all the other
trust monopolies. 1t is nothing but
legalized "stand and deliver" COM
mand of the old fashioned highway
men. This is the Calls story:
"Ill give you just fifteen minutes
to stop the sale of all outside tobacco,
and handle only the goods of the
American Tobacco Company" said
Herman Heyneman, of this city, as
he faced the tobacco dealers of Los
Angeles at a meeting in that city
few days ago. Coolly pulling out his
watch, Heyneman noted the time,
and laying his time-piece on the table,
proceeded to explain his position
more fully.
"We want you to handle our goods,
and l haven't the time to argue the
matter with you. If you do not
agree at once to do so, all that have
to say is that / have carload of
goods here and 35 men employed to
sell them. If you do not agree within
10 minutes to handle our goods ex-
clusively Tll set these men to work
and cut prices so per cent"
Ard the bluff worked. The dealers
came to time before the 10 minutes
had expired, and entered into an
agreement to handle exclusively the
goods of the American Tobacco Com
pany, which Heyreman represents.
The question may be asked, could
the dealers have done otherwise, and
we answer, not except at great loss
to themselves and the destruction of
their business, because had they not
come to the trusts's terms it would
have undersold them for a few
months, making mp for the loss at
San Francisco by raise of prices
elsewhere.

THE BRAVE BOERS.

In one of the London papers war
correspondent has graphically de-
picted scene we'll calculated to stir
the heart of any man. 1t is as
follows:
81 saw some of these old gray
boards, shattered by our shells, diving
grlmIy, with knitted brows and fierce
Iy clinched jaws; saw some of their
beardless boys sobbing their souls
out as the life blood dyed the African
heath.
"Those things have seen, and in
the ears of English men and women
let me say as one who knows and
fain would speak the plain, ungilded
truth concerning friends and foe,
that not alone beneath the British
flag are heroes found. Not alone at
the breasts of British matrons are
brave men suckled; for as my soul
liveth, whether their cause be Just or
unjust, whether the right or the
wrong of this war be with them
whether the blood of the hundreds
that have fallen since the first rifle
spoke defiance shall speak for or
against them at the Day OF Judg-
ment, they at least know how to die;
and when man has given his life
for the cause he believes in, he is
proven worthy even of his worst
enemy's respect.
"And it seems to me that the
British nation, with its long roll of
heroic deeds, wrought the world over,
from Africa to Iceland, can well
afford to honor the splendid bravery
and self-sacrifice Of these rude,
untutored toilers of the soil.
81 have seen them de-"

EVOLUTION OF THE COUNTRY
EDITOR.

Congressman Charles b. Lands
contributed to the April number of
Successes" a very interesting article
on "The Evolution of the Country
Editor" An extract from the article
follows:
The country newspaper men of to-
day really mold the sentiment of the
republic, and have done so for the past
fifty years. The metropolitan rews-
papers cannot successfully champion
any proposition that meets with the
united opposition of the country press,
Great movements either succeed OF
fail in proportion as they are advo-
Gated or opposed by the people who
live In small towns and on farms, be-
cause the evenings of such people are
devoted to reading and reflection, OF
to old-fashioned visiting, which
means an exchange of views and fire.
quent discussions. In molding these
views, the country editor is the chief
instrument; and, after they are mold
ed, he is their chief exponent, and
thus verdicts for history are made.
The metropolitan daily comes to
the small town, or TO the farm, and
is SO large that 1t is merely scanned
read mostly from the headlines.
The husband and father peruses it,
tosses it aside, and it is snatched up
by the daughter, who is through with
1T as soon as she glauces over the fash
ion column or reads the few para
graphs of etiquette.
"This is what | want" says the
head Of the house, us he takes up the
country weekly. lie looks over his
spectacles and says: "This home
paper is just like letter." and then
he settles down and reads every word
in it. He not only reads, but also
grasps the meaning of it all; and, if
there are three or four men who write
for the paper, he can tell by the stamp
of individuality who wrote this ar
ticle and who wrote that. The peo-
pie in the country, where there are no
large towns, are simply large family
and every item in the local paper is
of interest; and, as the father reads,
he comments: "Henry Arnold has
disposed of his lower eighty" and
."Phil Leslie's oldest boy has married
and moved to the Wilson place." and
."Jones has been given judgement in
that horse case," and '"There's fes-
tival atZion Church Saturday night" /"
and so OH and so forth. Then his
wife reproves him with: "Well, there
wont be a thing in that paper of in
terest to me if you keep on"
And thus it is that the paper is
sued once every week by the country

home, and item after item discussed

THE LAST WORDS OF STONE
WALL JACKSON.

MRS. ]. William Cones IN Richmond Dispatch.) }
Brilliant, complete, but oh how brief
Were the chivalrous deeds of the worlds
great chief;
But crowded within that little spen
Were the records of glory scarce known
TO man.
Two Continents watched with wonder
and awe
AS he sprang, full-armed, from the god
Of war
That quiet professor, unknown to the
world,
This offspring of thunder was suddenly
hurled,
Into the arena, with God as his guide
He feariessly charged the great odds he
defied
And victory followed that old coat OF
gray,
TIL furloughed by bullets that ill-fated
day.
On Sunday he heard that the end was
near,
When calmly he said, without tremor of
fear
81 have always wanted TO die on this
day."
So the way of his Father was StonewalPs
way,
With feverish brain he's a soldier still
Crisp orders he sends to A. p. Hill.
The fire of battle burns in his eyes
A warrior grand, though he lowly lies.
The soldier grows weary, the camp is in
sight,
His countenance beams with celestial
light;
LET us cross over'-into Heaven he
sees
"The river and rest meath the shade of
the trees"

EXPECTING A MESSAGE.
Spies Have Been Sent TO Pekin by
Powers.

Washington. July 29-There is a growing
feeling ut the State Department that news
of the utmost Importance may be forthcom-
ing at any moment from Pekin. II was
even thought that something might DO re-
ceived to-day. but this hope was doomed
10 disappointment. The few cablegrams
that Were received referred TO minor mat
tiers and did not touch at all upon condi-
lions in the Chinese capital. IL is believed
that the basis for this expectation Is the
knowledge on the part of the officials that
certain machinery heretofore set in mo-
ton may result in the opening up Of COM
murication through some secret but reli-
able channels. II is known that {, second
effort has been made by our own Govern
Conger and that nearly all of the Powers
also have resorted 10 private agencies in
their own interest with a like object. This
fact has just been developed that one Of
the last acts OF tn. late Colonel Llscum be-
fore his death a. Tien-Tsn was TO under
take the dispatch of spy 10 Pekin.
General Dorward. the British command
ing officer at 1fen-Tsin, also sent out two
messengers. and. It is believed that the
japanese did the same. Up 10 date not one
of these messengers has returned to TEN
Tsin. nor has there been a single word
heard from any Of them This fact. how
ever. has not caused the abandonment OF
hope, and this is true In particular OF the
message expected from Mr.. Conger. Min
lister WI is perhaps the basis FOR this hope
on our part. and he maintains an mistaken
confidence In his original assertion that the
news when it does come will show that TIE
iegationers are alive. The message ra-
ported 10 have come through Missionary
Wilder. at Che-Foo. is regarded most
promising.
Minister WI had no cablegrsms himself
to-day. nor had the State Department any
directly from China.
