What 1902 Has Brought Forth,

Many years ago Major Paldi. pio-
neer OF Brockway township and father
of J. ID. Paldi, told his son that some
day fortune would be realized by him
who should invent an indestructible
fence post. j. ID. has remembered the
words of his father all these years and
has been laboring TO construct an ideal
post. This he has succeeded in final
ly doing and received patent n short
time since covering his device. On
Thursday of this week he sold the
right for st. Clair County 10 William
Jurden for $4,000. The post Is rapid
ly gaining popularity and the Exposi-
tor herewith shows a cut of the same.

What viii the Harvest Beq

The problem of the day seems 10 be
what will the country do il the rains
continue. There will hardly be yes.
| tige of any of the numerous crops left.
All around us reports of floods, heavy
rains and tornadoes have brought ter.
ror 10 the stoutest heart. We think
that In our own section we will suffer
greatly from loss of crops, as hundreds
of acres of hay were cut and lie rotting
In the fields, early potatoes are nearly
ruined, vines have been washed out by
the roots, corn will be "A partial loss
aud wheat is growing in the shock
Farmers are not able 10 work i'm their
sodden fields. Within fifty miles all
around ms so much damage has been
done TO bridges, buildings, forests, be-
sides crops that the loss can hardly be
estimated. We should be truly grates
ful that in this vicinity we have es-
capped the heaviest losses and that al
though our farmers are very much
discouraged over the prospect still
many will have semblance OF crop
aud those on higher lands are not
drowned out entirely.
We read of the terrible floods along
the Mississippi and are thankful that
we are placed in dryer spots. The loss
I'm those flooded districts is estimated
at probably S6OO0.OO0 with the situa-
ton growing worse. Hundreds of
farmers, ten days ago, rich, are now
pennileSs and homeless. Immense
lields planted To corn, are now great
lakes, the water being deep enough TO
iloat a steamboat. What n picturel
People living along the bottom lands
have sought the high lands. taking
their stock with them. On the other
hand, we learn with relief that the corn
yield of the western states is past the
point OF danger from the wet weather
and will stack up about 2,5OOOO0OOO
bushels, a triile of 3O0,0OO,OOO bushels
beyond any known record.

Newspaper men occasionally indulge
In little wordy war through their re-
spective papers, and while IL is con-
fined within the realms Of decency, the
display of wit and brightness shown, is
really enjoyed by the readers. But
when a dirty whelp, with blatant self
conceit, opens up a round OF personal
abuse and that In the jargon of half
witted illiterate, or the incoherent, Vi
Imperative tumble that proceeds from
an opium-sotted brain, his adversary
must retire from the fray out of pure
self-respect. The decent newspaper
man has only admiration for the ad-
versary who attacks him with the
bright weapons Of wit and satire. but
for the numbering imbecile, who
smears his victims with the dirt of
slander and the slime of personal
abuse there can be only feeling OF alb
horrence. Like the drivel that falls
from the lips Of other idiots IL may be
harmless but IL Is extremely disgust
ing. Such creature generally affects
a great display of knowledge in his
writings, even when his extreme ignor-
ance Is patent in every line and SEN
tence written. The halting logic. faul-
~ rhetoric and general incoherency OF
his screeds, proclaim him either an OPT
um fiend or fool. IL would be the
easiest thing in the world 10 thrash
such blunderer, but what would one
gain by attacking creature, the wind.
Ows of whose intellect have been dark
ened, and who has not sense enough 90
realize when he Is vanquishedy IL is
no wonder that such despicable dolt
Is ostracised by all respectable news
paper men.

Found Dead I'm he'd.

John Gibbs Williams, a colored fire
man at the Champion Compress. was
found dead in his bed yesterday morn
ing at o'clock by a young colored man
who stays in the house with him at
1872 Browns Alley.
Williams worked at the compress un-
til o'clock Wednesday night and
when he retired he was apparently in
his usual health. When the young
man got up about o'clock yesterday
morning he noticed that Williams
breakfast was on the table uneaten.
knowing that Williams was TO get up
at o'clock TO go to work he went into
his room to awake him, thinking prob
ably he had oversight himself. He
called him and got no answer and he.
then shook him and failing to arose.

The Memphis, Tenn. News, in the
course of an editorial On The Solid
South" says: 1.-THE negro question
has not been eliminated by the consti-
tuition of Alabama or the election laws
of any southern state. 1t is merely
solved for the time being, and eternal
vigilance is the price that the white
voters will have to pay in order to hold
it in allegiance. The negro race is here
and here to stay. The fifteenth amend
ment to the federal constitution is still
part and parcel of the fundamental
law. So long as this is the case the
solid south is a political necessity in
order that the south shall remain a
white mans country In other words,
the settlement of the black peril by
constitutional enactment was a remedy
with a string to it. Come to think of
it, we've heard something like the above
before. and if no mistake has been
made, the thing has been said in North
Carolina. 1t is rubbish, however. and
sensible people will so regard it.-Char-
lotte Observer.
We do not believe the negroes will
ever again be the factor in politics at
the south that they have been hereto
fore. That they are to remain among
us cannot be questioned, and a great
exercise the privilege; but we do not
look to see a solid mass of blacks hurl-
ed against the white people at every
election in the future as it has always
been in the past. South Carolina has
demonstrated for several years that the
negroes can be eliminated from politics.
and the same thing can be done in this
and other southern states. With the
thrusting out of the negroes as a mass
from the arena of politics in this state
the white vote will divide to some eX-
tent anG in some proportion to this di-
vision VIII there be a splitting of the
vote OF those negroes entitled to the
franchise. another defense the people
of our state have against return to the
condition of a solid white vote or ne
gro supremacy" after the year 1908 is
war on ilHteracy among the white peo
pie. If all nearly all white youths
coming of age by that year and subse-
quent theretn are able to read and write
then there VIII be no danger of our be-
ing out voted by the negroes should
they vote Ell masse. Here is the reme-
dy with us q 2;ainst the supposed threat
ened evil ard it is one within our pow
er to apply If the proper steps are taken.
If We lie supine and allow the negro
youths coming of age in the future TO
surpass the white children in acquiring
the education requisite for qualifying
as voters, then the negroes, recogniz-
ing their strength might consolidate to
at least give themselves the balance of
power, if not to dominate in many sec
tions of our state.

L MANUFACTURERS CONTRADICTs
MIR. ROOSEVELT.

While Mr.. Roosevelt IS telling the peo-
pie that a reduction OF the tariff will
injure our manufacturing enterprises
some Of the most prominent men con-
nected with these corporations are ask
ing the republican parry to give them
this reduction as an aid to their busi-
ness. Mr.. A 3. Farquha, president OF
the Pennsylvania agricultural works.
has written a letter to The Farmers
Call. an agricultural paper, published in
the great farming state of Illinois in
which he advocates a revision Of the
tariff. He says the present tariff law
is destroying the farme- and working
injury to the manufacturer he argues
that our high tariff laws prevent the
ufacturing emporium os the world
Here is his letter:
The fact is that our protective laws
are a monstrouS swindle upon the agri-
cultural community. AS a manufactur-
er was inclined to say nothing on the
subject, for the reason that it was nat
ural to suppose that IL anybody was
benefited 1t was the manufacturing e
class to which I belong. But, as have
explained, the farmer i5 being destroy
ed. We are killing the goose that lays
the golden egg. And / honestly be-
ieye now that it is 10 the interest OF
the manufacturers themselves to elimi-
nate the protective feature from our
tariff laws.
Certainly, as our manufactured goods
are sold much lower abroad, we could
only need protection to get better prices
from our customers at home. We do
manufacture and sell I'm Canada, South
America and Europe many agricultural
machines and implements, and could
we have free raw material and the COM
mercial advantages which free trade
would give us, America would become
the great manufacturing emporium of
the world and the farmer, of course.
would share the prosperity, since he
would have less to pay for everything
and get better prices for all he sold.
Go on with your good work: When the
farmer begins to think and rise up
against this swindle it is doomed"

TEN THOUSAND BRICK lost.

buildings on Water street between

AN INTERESTING POINT OF LAW.

The trusts do not pretend to denv
that they sell the products of their
tariff protected concerns 10 European
consumers cheaper THAI they do to the
Americans. The evidence to this effect
is SO overwhelming tilat it would be
worse than useless for them to deny il,
SO they boldly admit the fact and still
have the affrontery to claim that high
tariff is necessary to enable them to
successfully compete In the home mar
kets with their European competitors.
This matter of underselling the Euro
pean manufacturers In their cwn mar
kets has been carried so far by Ameri
can tariff-fattened r1onopolIes that
some Of them actually Sell their goods
they incur a loss on sucn sales and the
different members of the combine con-
tribute proportionately tc make up the
loss to the general concern. This is
done to keep the stock down so there
may be an apparent reason for keeping
the price up in this country.
One of the concerns engaging in lis
sort of business has run against a snag
and a pretty law question arises. The
American Su1phite Manufacturers AS
sociation has been doing this sort of
business. 1t has sold a good deal OF it's
product in Europe at a loss anG when
the members of the trust weie called
on to pay up their share OF the less one
firm refused to contribute. The question
is can the courts compel this firm to
comply with its contract. Is not such
a contract in the interest of the un-
lawful control or suppression of trade
in this country? The parties will hard
ly let spch a case get into the courts.

In Earnest About the Tobacco Ware
house.

The citizens of Wilmington are I'm
earnest about the proposition to erect
a tobacco warehouse and a tobacco
prize house in Wilmington. The Messen-
ger recently mentioned the action Of the
chamber Of commerce and the mer-
chants association in favor of the en-
terprise.
Yesterday at 1890 p. m. the executive
committee Of the chamber OF commerce
held a special meeting 10 take some
practical step towards the organization
of a stock company to start the enter
prise. They did not give cut for pubiica-
ton what steps were taken. but the
Messenger is informed that they will
soon take action that will make a ware
house and prize house certainty.
The members of the committee at the
meeting yesterday We're President Jas.
