Where does the consumer come in?
A recent decision of the United States
Supreme Court says that all duties up
on goods imported from Manila shall
be returned, if paid under protest. This
will mean about $2,OOOOOO to Califor-
MIA importers and about $4,000 to our
own. But the importers have already
collected the duty from their customers
by charging higher prices for the goods.
Now the importers get the rebate from
the government, which of course goes
into their pockets as a windfall The
ways of trade are inscrutable, but luck
form a strong element. The importers
from the Philippines are distinctly
lucky and will divide a fine nest egg for
Christmas. .,.,.

That homesteads are a good thing has
been advocated in The Star time and
time again. The effort to get home
steads taken up has been and Is being
tried. But in country where rains are
uncertain, and where the land and the
fertilizing water are not together, the
talk of cutting it all up into homesteads
is thoroughly impractical.

Admiral Schley's attorneys did a Very
handsome thing by the gallant old Off
Ger when they refused to accept any
fees for their services. Schley's conduct
throughout the court martial has won
him many more friends than he had be-
fore and he as ever been a most popu-
lar man. His attorneys have won honor
for the manner in which they conducted
his case. Not so the other side. Many
of the questions put to Admiral Schley
were unnecessarily harsh, and the law
yers who put them have been held up
to Reproduction in the Eastern press.

The Christmas mail from these ISL
ands is always heavy one, but those
of the last two days have broken the
record. There are many more people
here now with strong affiliations to the
mainland, and the Christmas season
calls forth all their kindly feelings.
Pleasant letters, little keepsakes, en-
dearing words are now SPEEDING across
the waves of the Pacific to the shores
of our great continent, and many
home will be gladdened by the arrival
of some simple token of love from the
son or daughter in the distant Isles of
the sea. The world Is full of kindness
if we look below the surface. Even the
very hardest has soft spot some
where which can be touched and made
to vibrate.

The burglary or rather attempted
burglary of Monday night was certain
ly neatly planned to get away with the
goods. An old piano case would have
been a very innocent article to have
shipped away upon the steamer and
would have gone without a word into
the hands of some San Francisco fence.
However our coups in the dishonest line
are small as compared with the outside
world. An enterprising set of thieves
have stuck bank in Great Britain for
something like three-quarters of a mil
lion of dollars. That certainly shows
genius. At st. Louis the city Treasurer
has defalcated over $4,000, and may be
more. He got out of the way by the
suicide route. We have no such genius

a strange position which our lawmak-

by which low valuations and high

It tells Of the double taxation OF

We tax our main industry, which
is mining.

it. We are charging insurance com

Six Washouts Block Travel on the Seaboard
AR Line

The recent heavy rains have delayed
traffic on the Seaboard Air Line very
greatly. Traffic south is blocked by
washouts between Cameron and Hamlet
where there was deluge of rain Sunday
night as a result of which the seventy
foot trestle at Keyser is destroyed. This
is about sixty miles from Raleigh and the
trestle, which stood the May freshet, was
considered an extra strong one.
In addition to the loss of the trestle
there are four or five other washouts be-
tween Cameron and Hamlet, which has
absolutely stopped travel, it being out of
the question to try a transfer at Keyser
No trains from the South have come in
over the Seaboard Air Line since 80
o'clock Monday morning and the last
moving South that passed Keyser left at
4 o'clock a. m. In order to move travel
North the Seaboard Air Line people with
their usual promptneSs yesterday made
up a special train and sent it North at
II rs, the regular time. The travel over
the Seaboard Air Line north of Raleigh
is not affected by the washouts, and the
officials hoped during last night to ar
range for travel. At 2 o'clock this morn
ing word was received that progress in
repairing at Keyser's was slow, but that
a train was expected from that direction
between three and four O'Clock.

Wilkesbarre. Pa, July 16.-The strike
order of President Mullahy. of the
STATIONARY Firemen's Association of Penn
syivania, directing the men to strike to-
DAY for an eight hour day, was obeyed
ny the men. Nine hundred members OF
the organization in this section of the
Stat e refused to go to work.
Most of the strikers are employed as
nrcmen at the coal Mines and their fail
ure to report for duty caused nearly all
the collierics In the northern anthracite
region to suspend operations, throwing
out of work. it is estimated, 10000 men
and boys. The big coal companies, how
ever, refused to make any concessions
The officials claimed that the demands
o. the hremen were unreasonable; that
they had received ten per cent increase
Wnen the wages of the miners were
Vaised last autumn, and that the demand
now made upon the companies was equal
to 20 per cent advance.
Most OF the large companies were sue
cessful In getting a sufficient number Of
men to keep the pumps running. Small
companies were left entirely helpless.
The strikers claim that the engineers
are friendly to them and will not work
with on-union men. President Mullahy
said tonight that he had information from
all over the northern region that the
men we're standing firm. He thought the
coal companies would be unable to get
N men, and that the strike would soon
ke. to an end.
At the headquarters of the operators it
limo hnf hn of he
otrikers would not be entertained, and
pat as soon rs new men could be Sc

int Mckinley to declare free trade be-
veen Porto Rico and the United States
the revenues derived from Internal
burces, exclusive of customs, had
FOvcd sufficient to meet the island S
hancial needs, it was shown that the
penses of the Government as author
ed by the Legislature for the fiscal
beginning July l, 1901, amounted

cons derable allotments were as fol-
lows:

A careful study of the financial sit

will be raised from the three sources,
Property ttax, excise tax

the sum of over two million dollars
This would provide an excess of esti-
mated receipts over expenditures.

idle and seeking employment are start

harvest the poorest crop she has produced
