which would bear heavily on every
corporation, but from which ex-
emption could be secured on proof
that the corporation was not act
ing in violation of the spirit or
the letter of the law or contrary
TO the interests of the people. The
burden of proof would rest on the
corporations and in their efforts to
secure exemption the publicity, SO
strongly advocated by the Presi-
dent, would be secured. The OPP
portunity offered to the Fifty
seventh Congress by Senator Nor
gan to prove that it has the inter-
ests of the people rather than those

THE TOMATO CULTURE.

A number of farmers of the
Kenton vicinity met on the 9th
inst. to discu. the organization of
a fruit growers association and
the best methods of raising and
marketing small fruits. lnasmuch
as plan is on foot among some of
the enterprising farmers around
Union City to organize similar
association looking more especially
toward the tomato culture indus
try it might be interesting to re-
produce a few facts brought out
at that meeting.
Mr.. E. B. Blair, of the Mobile
and Ohio Railroad Company. in a
short address presented the infor
nation that Kenton and Union
City were grouped with Cairo in
the schedule of shipping rates Sd
that freight from these points
would be less than from Dyer and
Humboldt. He said also that the
road was taking considerable in
terest in industries of this kind
contiguous to their line and that
the benefits mentioned were con-
ditioned on the organization of an
ASSOCIATION. Mr.. A. d. Hunt,
agent of the road at Humboldt
and an extensive grower, made q
very comprehensive statement OF
production and profits of the crop.
He prefaced his remarks by call
inc attention to the importance OF
consolidating shipments and put.
ting in sufficient acreage to pro
duce four OF five car loads a day
SO as to secure car rates and pre-
vent the troubles of individual con
signments, otherwise the business
would not be profitable. 1t wa
also necessary to have crop large
enough to induce buyers to ou
market, as consignments to com
mission houses were not satisfac
tory. These we're necessary ad
iuncts of a proft-yielding crop
To estimate the number of acre

President Roosevelt has just re
turned from his trip through the
South, where he joined the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Fireman
and spoke enthusiastically of his
admiration of organized labor.
There is little reason to believe,
however, that the working man
who has to pay $40 a ton for his
coal and Is cents a pound for his
meat will regard the Presidents
action as emitting him or his party
to the support of the laboring
classes. The verbal statement that
the President is his friend will do
little to alleviate the suffering of
the man who knows that, us a re-
suit of Republican legislation, his
famil, is cold and hungry.

The Democrats at headquarters
are delighted with the prominence
that the President is giving to the
trust question in his speeches.
They say he can not do too much
in this direction; that all that is
necessary is for the people to APP
preciate the cause of their hard
ships and they will need no guide
to show them the remedy. They
say the people will never be con-
tent to await constitutional
amendment as the remedy for the
present evil and that they we'll APP
preciate that to secure relief from
existing conditions they must elect
a Democratic Congress. The al
legged opposition of Wall street
and Senator Platt to the President,
which is being so widely discussed
in the Republican press, they de-
clare is entirely for effect. They
say that the trusts could desire
nothing better than that the people
be led to believe that a constitu-
tional amendment, which they can
easily defeat in the state legisla-
lures, is necessary to effect any
control over them. On the other
hand the President is carrying Out
the dictates of the Republican
leaders and of the trust managers
by completely sidetracking the
tariff revision idea. That is what
they are afraid of, and that alone

Senator Jones, of Arkansas,
passed through Washington this
week and spoke enthusiastically OF
the prospects of the fall elections.
He called attention to the fact that
the passage of the Mckinley law
was followed by tremendous rise
in prices and that in turn by q
great Democratic victory. He
predicts that history will repeat
itself. He said that all over the
United States the high cost of liv,
ing was proving serious hard
ship to the poor man and that the
Door man knew he was suffering
that hardship as a result OF Re-
publican policies. Under these
circumstances he would naturally
vote the Democratic ticket. SEN
ator Jones pronounced President
Roosevelt's proposed constitution
al amendment as "mere buncomb"
and stated that the President was
well aware that the real issue was
the trusts and the tariff and that
no Republican Congress would en-
act Legislation which would reduce
the tariff or correct the trust evil.

Destructive Fire,

Last Friday afternoon our citizens
were considerably agitated when they
saw heavy black smoke leap up into
the clouds, in the direction of the eli.
max Powder Company. OF course all
feared an explosion until they learned
the cause of the fire. The large brick
and stone building, 15Ox25 feet, known
as the recovery plant took fire from a
spark from the retort alighting among
some bags of soda. The entire building
was instantly on fire and nothing could
be done but protect the adjoining
buildings. The loss will amount to
several thousands of dollars, upon
which, of course, there is no insurance.
Rebuilding was resumed at once and
the Company will promptly resume

Opportunities in Florida.

with fruit, among the best of which is
the j. P. Felt grove at Emporia. 1t is

missioners and sole manipulator of
Democratic politics in Cameron county
evidently don't fell in the best of humor,
especially since the Democratic voter
resents his dictatorship and defies his
authority to say who shall be and shall
not be honored by their party with
nominations. His respects paid to the
editor of the PRESS personally has not
the least nettled our usually tranquil
disposition" Go it, Ikey, my boy, if
you enjoy that kind of stuff and call it
argument. But say, honestly, was not
the PRESS correct when it said you had
slated the men who were nominated
weeks ago? OF course the machine did
weaken and even made an attempt to
break their own slate at the last hour
but it was only set up good and hard.

Death of K, r. r1aSon.

Richard T. Mason expired at the
home of his mother Mrs. w. p. Beck
man, on Sixth street yesterday after
noon at $3.50 O'Clock, aged 30 years.
The cause of death is attributed to
Bright's disease from which the doceas-
ed had been a sufferer for the past year
or more.
The disease did not manifest alarming
symptoms until about six months ago.
Mr.. Mason, upon the advise of his local
physicians made several trips to Phila-
delphia, where some of the ablest ply
sicians in the city were consulted.
Their combined efforts were fruitless,
and about three weeks ago, upon the
occasion of the deCeased's last trip to
the city, he was informed that his case
was hopeless. Last night he became
unconscious and remained in that state
until the time of his DEATH
Mr.. Mason was a patient sufferer.
The disease is a horribly painful one,
yet the young man displayed the ut.
most fOrtitude and even cheerfulness,
throughout. He was popular, gentle
manly and well educated. For a long
time he was assistant postmaster at
Villas, Lycoming county, for number
of years, but by trade he was a cigar
maker. In this business he was an eX-
pert, and indeed i'll everything he
undertook Mr.. Mason showed a decid-
ed zeal that soon made him a master of
details. In his death, the towu loses

mittee or from some one alleged to
be familiar with our supposed es-
Inmates.
"Now the facts are that the Re
publican Congressional Committee
has never published table by
States during the five campaigns
that have been connected with it.
1t is impossible at this time to even
predict, by districts, with any de-
gree of accuracy. what the result
may be, for the reason that only
about one-half of the nominations
have been made, and but few of the
State or Congressional committees
have as yet been organized, and
local conditions are much in many
places where the nominations have
not been made that it would be
folly to predict what the result
might be in those districts. The
Republican Congressional Commit
tee will publish no tables during the
campaign, but at as early date as
possible, when the campaign has
progressed sufficiently to enable us
to secure reliable information, we
shall give the public the benefit of
it.
II believe the Republican Party
will succeed and elect majority of
the next House; but we must not
forget that since General Grants
first term in off-years, the Republi-
cans have succeeded but once in
electing a Congress in harmony
with the administration, and that
was in 1898.
The general state of prosperity
is such that the people are busy,
and, having confidence in his Re
publican Administrations take it for
granted that the Fifty-eight Con-
gress will be Republican, and over
look the fact that there are about
one hundred southern districts
solidly democratio, in which exper-
ience has taught us the futility of
attempting to make campaign and
in many Of which Republican voters
are either disfranchised or a
free ballot and a fair count denied,
so that we must win 20 per cent of
the debatable districts in order to
secure a bare majority Of the Fifty
eighth Congress, and must carry 10
per cent. of the debatable districts
in order to have a safe working
majority.
II do not believe that the public
should be misled and want especi-
ally to call attention to the fact
that the tables that have been pub
lished are misleading, and that the
Committee IS not responsible for
their publication. =
