The frequent rains are causing the
tobacco to take second growth, which
is very troublesome to the bright to-
bicco growers, as they can't success
fully cure it after it has taken second
growth. Crops Of tobacco and corn are
much better than were expected, and
after all the dry weather which caused
the people to wear long and gloomy
faces there will scarcely be house. room
enough to house the crop. This ought
to convince the people that there is
God aboye who knows best what to
do.

TME JUDICIAL AMENDMENT.

This amendment to the state Con-
stitution is TO be voted on at the
coming election. 1t was voted for
by both parties in the Legislature,
and recommended to the voters of
the state by the state Bar Associa-
ton. Its chief object Is TO change
the Supreme Court from four to five
judges, for the reason that often the
court, being composed of an even
number of judges, divides equally,
and thus leaves the legal principles
involved unsettled, so that no one
can tell what the law is. The Coal
Screening act and the act against
paying wages in store orders were
held no law in Kanawha county,
and good law across the creek in
Fayette, because the circuit courts
OF those counties differed in opinion
on the question and the Supreme
Court divided equally. These i'm
portant acts have remained unsettled
for years. Such instance could not
occur if the Supreme Court were
composed of five judges Many
similar instances have occurred, and
will continue to occur, and ques-
lions of the gravest importance re-
main unsettled.
Again, the state has grown so
since the number of judges was fixed
at four, more than twenty years ago,
that four judges cannot do the work
of the court because the cases ap.
pcaled to that court have more than
doubled in number, and vastly
greater In amounts involved and the
importance of the legal questions
upon which they depend II the
number of judges is not increased,
delay of decision of cases will be
inevitable. The amendment does
not increase salaries of judges, but
leaves the salaries of Supreme and
Circuit Court judges to the I.egis-
lature, as the FEDERAL and most Of
the state constitutions do.

Elk United States Senator Wash
burn, Republican, in an interview
published in the New York Tribune,
September II, 1890. says:
There is one thing that greatly
disturbs me. The Republican party
whether justly or unjustly, is as
sociated with Trusts in the minds OF
the masses. AS party we have
reached the crisis where we have got
to call a halt The Republican party
has got to disconnect itself from the
Trusts. lthas got to legislate them.
The Republicans in Congress will
have to examine the subject thor.
oughly, and whenever they find a
Trust is depending for its exorbitant
profits largely upon protective duties
1t will be the duty of Republican
Congressman and Senators to remove
the duties at once. This sould be
done with the duty on steel rails and
tin plate"

been added since, the grand total

ability in the administration of his

days in Washington recently.
Speaking Of his trip Senator Harris
pointed to his shoes which we're
American made and which he
purchased in London for 40 per
cent less than they can be bought
for in this country. The Senator
states that he found numerous in
stances WHERE similar conditions
prevailed and he emphatically
denies that the goods sold abroad
by American manufacturers are only
the surplus products He says that
the American manufacturers are
selling their goods abroad at fair
and reasonable profit and that they
are selling them In this country at
an exorbitant profit. Senator Harris
believes that the prospects of demo-
cratic success are much better than
they were few months ago and
speaks most confidently of the pros
poets for 1904. He thinks that the
Democrats will win on the trust
issue alone.
tf1
Senator Harris says that il would
be better for the Democratic party
IL they did not have a majority in
the next House. as that would afford
the Republicans an opportunity to
shift the responsibility for failure to
enact trust legislation. II the Re.
publicans have a majority they will
be incapable of enacting any
measure which the trusts disapprove
and there will be no one on which
to place the responsibility for their
failure to heed the demands of the
people. Senator Harris is not the
only politician who takes this view
OF the situation. Representative
Joe Manley, Republican, from
Maine, says that it will be better
for his party to lose the control of
the next House. He says that with
a Republican Senate the Democrats
will be unable to accomplish any.
thing and the people will then turn
again to the Republicans in 1904,
not taking into consideration the
real cause tor Democratic failure to
pass needed legislation. Senator
Vest expressed this opinion i'm
mediately after the adjournment of
Congress and frankly told your
correspondent that he hoped the
Democrats would not win this year.

Many of our people irrespective
of politics have been growing and
kicking about the high taxes they

have every thing entirely in their

The number Of sheep in the Unit

millions since the repeal Of the viii
son Tariff. A fact like this gives a
sheepish look to Democrstic free
trade.
The above item from the Journal
OF last week probably explains why
the price Of wool has been down so
low since the repeal Of the Wilson
Tariff. Too many sheep and too
much wool to food the market.
Since the Dingley tariff on wool is

selling as low as I6 cents per pound
or S cents without the tariff ga fact
like this gives sheepish look to

shall be so construed as to apply to
trade unions or other labor organi-
cations, organized for the purpose
OF regulating wages, hours of labor,
or other conditions under which
labor is to be performed" the Re-

When the Republicans talk about
the bond issue of the Cleveland ad-
ministration, remind them that the
plates for the first issue were made
under the orders of Harrison's Sec
rotary of the Treasury, Hon.
Charles J. Foster. while the protec-
tive tariff was in force; in other
words, that the Harrison admins
ton created the conditions which
made the necessity for those bonds
and had prepared the plates to issue
them; and remind them that when
Cleveland ended his first admins
tration he left surplus of 5000,
900. 900 in the Treasury, and that
when he came back in ISoa he
found that the Harrison administra-
ton had not only depleted the
Treasury but had found it necessary
to prepare to make bond issue in
order to meet the contingent ex-
penses of the Government, and that
in making the issue Cleveland only
carried out the policy the NAL adj
ministration of the Harrison admin
istration made necessary.
