Is it really true that those who are preying
upon prosperity are the causes of prosperity,

Those are about the results of some

Pointers to Correspondents.

The Windber (Pa.) Era serves up the
following rules for the guidance of its
correspondents:
i, Send news in as early as practicable.
2, Paragraph each item Of news, and a
good plan is to number it, thus avoiding
confusion.
3, Give the facts in a news item.
4, Don't attempt to write jokes unless the
joke is apparent i'll the item itself
5, Never write on both sides of paper, nor
neglect to sign your name at bottom of last
page.
6, Notes on the weather are not news I'M
less damage is reported therefrOm.
Z, Do not write simply to fill up; the waste
basket is being pretty well filled without it.
Every fact calculated to inform. interest or
please is news; the more people it informs,
interests or pleases the more valuable it is.
The work of correspondents who fol
low those rules is very acceptable to
papers like the JOURNAL.
But they impose needless care, labor,
not to say hardship, upon contributors
to sheets of the Fornm class.

Raleigh, n. c., Dec. 13.-Judge Chas.
II. Simonton has fled an opinion in
the railroad taxation cases. denying
motion by counsel for the Corpora
ton Commission to amend their an
swer in each OF the cases.
The railroads in their complaints
charged that the State assessed rail-
road property at it's full value, while
other property was assessed at less
than its real value. This was not de-
MED in the answer by the State and the
railroads claim that the fact WIS ad-
united. But the state wishes to amend
its answer by a denial of the asser-
ton Of the railroads. Judge Simonton
holds that the State has forfeited it's
RICH; to demand such answer. Judge
SmontonS opinion is as follows:

sion, ct al. and other cases.
These cases now come up on q motion
by defendant to amend the answers in
each case. The reason for the pro-
posed amendments is stated in the mo-
ton. Whereas the compliments, coun-
sci insists that the defendants in their
answer of the above entitled case have
admitted that the Corporation Com
mission has assessed the complainants
Mt it's true value ana whereas the de-
PENDANTS contend that no such admis-
sion was made or intended to be made.
Now in order to avoid any uncertainty
upon this point. defendants win move
for leave to amend the answer of de-
PENDANTS by inserting the following
paragraphs: The zeal and ability with
which this motion has been argued, and
.the elaborate briefs submitted deserve
n full statement and discussion of the
point involved.
The cases were first heard upon the
return to a rule to show cause why an
injunction should not issue. An inn

LoURENzo MARoUIz, May 19.-The
Transvaal Government decided to-
day to send message to Lord Rob-
erts, requesting the cessation OF
hostilities, demanding a guarantee
that the lives of all colonials fighting
with the Beers shall be spared, and
stating that unless these terms are
granted the mines will be blown up
and Johannesburg destroyed.
The Government has been for
some time considering the destruc,
ton of the mines. President Krue-
ger and the executive council were
against the proposition, but a strong
popular pressure was brought to
bear in favor of it. President Krue.
ger has had dream that the war
would be ended within three weeks,
which he firmly believes. There is
much uncertainty in Pretoria, where
Kruger is the only strong hand.
The Boer President told me yester-
day that he would fight until the
last cartridge, but many officers and
burghers are shaky and desire
compromise. They do not want to
