Can Live on Potatoes.

Indiana will probably raise over
1000, 900 bushels of potatoes this year.
The crop last year was exceptionally
short, because of the long drought,
and only about 1875, 600 bushels were
raised in the state.
Last year SO, 900 acres were planted
in potatoes, and the average yield was
25 bushels. This year the acreage, ac-
cording to B. +. Johnson, state stat
Istician, will be somewhat under that
of last year, but the conditions indi-
cate yield of over 80 bushels to the
acre. A normal yield is 125 bushels.

The state board of health says:
Call attention to the fact that we pre-
dicted an increase in deaths from
diarrhoeal diseases in July or June.
The number Of June diarrhOeal deaths
was % and in July the number was
433. 1t was easy to make this predic-
tion because it happens every year.
Diarrhoeal deaths are due to food
poisoning and they therefore are sad
comment upon our intelligence-for
why poison ourselves with poisonous
foods? Let us learn not to do it..
The death rate in the country was
11.9 and in the cities was 1879.

The Chicago Platform,

The much repudiated silver plank
of the Chicago platform by Wall
street democratic millionaires has
been assigned as the cause of
Bryan's defeat, both in the Cam
paigns of 1896 and 1900.
Now since the defeat of Perry
Belmont for Congress in one of the
Wall street Democratic strongholds
and who is pronounced single
standard gold monometalist; and as
the Belmonts could neither endorse
the Chicago platform nor support
Bryan, we must conclude that there
is something more Objectionable to
the American voters than the Chi
cago platform.
1t would be interesting to know
how the Belmont and Bryan votes
compare in the Belmont Congress
sional district; or which was most
repudiated, Organism or Belmont
ism. 1t can scarcely be claimed
that dissensions and factional fights
were the cause of the Belmont
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1902-01-23

defeat, for factional fights were
equally strong i'll the presidential
elections of 1896 and 1900, and in
1896 the whole weight and influence
of treacherous democratic admin
istration antagonised the Bryan
compaign, and did all in its power
to defeat the Democratic candidate
for president. If gold monometal-
ism mus. rule this country we
really can see 10 difference who
shall administer the affairs of gov
ernmcnt, Gold Democrats or Gold
Republicans. And no doubt for
this reason Montague Lessler led
Perry Belmont in a democratic
district.
We can't syrnpathize with Perry
Belmont in his defeat, but rather
rejoice, inasmuch as he, leader OF
democracy has attempted to mis-
lead the people of true democratic
faith. Now he can look upon his
leadership as a busted" bubble.
The Democratic repudiators of the
Chicago platform have met alike
false all over the country. These
reorganizers of the Democratic
party must begin to come to the
conclusion that there are other
issues that are worse than Bryan.

Harrison Pension Dropped.
Former Presidents Widow will Not rress
the Matter.

Mrs. Benjamin Harrison, in
whose interest the matter OF a S.
900 pension has been agitated at
Washington on the ground that she
is the widow of an ex-President,
has notified her friends that she
does not care to have the matter
PRESSED, and no further effort will
be made in that direction. When
the subject of a pension was first
suggested, she said she would &C
cept it as tribute of respect to her
husband, but she would not make
any personal effort to obtain it, for
she was not in need, and there was
no probability that she ever would
be.
Later, when reports were cifcu-
lated that Russell Harrison was op-
posing the pension, Mrs Harrison
notified her friends at Washington
that they might use their own
judgment in pressing the matter
upon Congress. The denial oi
Russell Harrison was accepted as
true, and that, it is said caused
her interest in the matter to flag.
Since then she has heard that there
would be opposition to such pen
sion in the House and perhaps in
the Senate, and this caused her to
request her friends to cease theil
efforts.

THURSDAY, JANUARY a3 1902.
FOR COUNTY OFFICES.

This will be lively year polit-
ically III this county, as there will
be large number of Offices to fill.
For Congress it is understood that
Hon. A. L. Fritz will ask for the
conferrees of this county. There
may be others, but we have heard
of none positively. A State Sena-
tor is also to be chosen, and rumor
is afloat that Hon. w. T. Greasy
may be in line for that Office, though
if he wants to go back to the lower
house of the Legislature there is
but little doubt that this would be
accorded him.
For Member of Assembly Hon.
Fred Ikeler will ask for a second
term, according to custom, and
it is possible that there may be
other aspirants for this Office.
For Register and Recorder J. c.
Rutter, Jr. is not likely to have
any opposition, as it is a long es-
Gablished custom to give two terms
in this Office.
For Prothonotary there will prob
ably be three candidates. all we'll
known men. John K. Miller, the
present County Superintendent of
Schools, R. Rush Zarr, Esq, who
has been Deputy Prothonotary for
the past six years, and c. M. Ter
williger, the former clerk Of the
County Commissioners.
A. B. Croop is the only one who
has declared his intention to run
for the Office of County Treasurer,
and it looks as though he will have
no opposition. He made a big run
when candidate before.
1t is believed that William Krick
baum is contemplating a candidacy
for Associate Judge.
For County Commissioner Will
lam H. Fisher will be candidate
for reelection. He has made a
faithful and competent official,
though he has had many obstacles
to contend with at times. He de.
serves a reelection and he ought to
receive it. William Bogart, OF
Espy, now one Of the County Audi
tors, is also talked of. He is a
good business man and would fill
the place very acceptably. There
will probably be others.
The contest for District Attorney
will be between c. A. Small, of
Catawissa, c. r. Weiss and H. r.
Stees, of Bloomsbury.

Editor J. w. Maloy of the Lans-

from the grand jury of Carbon
county against Republican Sheriff
Gombert. He charges the Sheriff
with having made an ante election
agreement, promising Maloy one
half the advertising patronage of
the Sheriff S Office in return for
support.
There was a great scurrying OF
"white rats" the term by which
the crooked politicians in Carbon
have become known since the above
prosecution was instituted, when
the action of the grand jury was
announced. For a time it was
whispered that the prosecution was
to be called off, but the case will
come to trial
Judge Horace Heydt refuses to
preside. he having been the secre-
tary of the Republican county COM
mittee when the alleged agreement
was made. He will call in an out
side Judge at a date to be fixed be-
fore the present criminal term ends.

HOW TO KILL MONOPOLY.
Remove Special Privileges and Trusts Can.
not Long Exist.

The effort of the protectionists to
show that the tariff does not breed
or aid trusts because there are trusts
in free trade England has been dis
proved by the showing made that
nearly all the combinations to con
troll any particular industry in that
country have been unsuccessful
there and have either retired from
the field or are practically bankrupt.
The reason for this is evident
when it is considered that the mark
cts of England are open to the man
ufactuers of the whole world, and a
trust or monopoly cannot long exist
where competition is free or unless
it has some privilege or advantage
that gives it opportunity to become
monopoly. 1t may be that the
laws have allowed the trust to be-
come the owners of all the raw
material or all the mines from
which the monopoly gets its supply,
as in the case of the anthracite coal
trust, which is not protected by the
tariff, nor does it need to be, for it
has no foreign competition to dis
pute the home market with it,
there being practically no other de-
posit of that kind of coal than what
is controlled by the trust. This
trust is protected by law in another
way. II owns or controls all the
transportation, through the fran
chises granted by the state to the
railroads, and dictates the rates, so
that no rival can compete with it.
With the steel trust it is different.
Everything that it produces is pro-
tected by the tariff at so high rate
that it excludes all foreign products.
1t also owns the greater part of the
mines from which the ore that can
be the most economically mined
and smelted is produced. 1t also
owns or controls the transportation
of the great lakes, through its side
partner, the ship trust, and has al
ready commenced to add to this by
buying up the ocean freight carriers.
So that, in addition to the monopoly
which the tariff gives it in the
United States and which it knows
will be removed when the people
thoroughly understand the ques-
ton, the trust is preparing to hold
monopoly of raw material and oi
transportation for it and for its sur
plus production which must be sold
beyond seas.
If other trusts or monopolies are
investigated. it will be found that
protection by law, either in the
form of tariff, franchises or the con.
troll of raw matepial, is what allows
it to be monopoly. Remove the
special privilege, and the trust can
not long exist; competition will
soon make it find its level. That
is the reason trusts are not finding
congenial soil in free trade England
and are rampant in protected Ger,
many.-Ee.

VINO is RESPONSIBILITY

The owners Of tho coal mines IN Penn
sylyania have at last discovered that
tho entire blame for the present stue-
ton must be placed upon the miners
and that IL proceedings are to be taken
against anybody. 1t must be against
the miners union, This union, they
hold. q organized for the purpose OF
interfering with interstate tra'lic' by
preventing the mining Of coal for ship
ping purposes.
This Is bold statement, IN view OF
the fact that the responsibility for the
strike is entirely with the operators II
is not forgotten how the trouble com
menced The facts are that since the
strike Of 1900, when a compromise was
effected on agreement has been IN
force by which the operators and MIN
ers were to confer on wages and other
conditions The settlement OF 1900 was
temporary and ended In April this year
Very naturally the miners asked Tor
another conference in which the sched-
ule Of wages already In force might be
continued or else new schedule agreed
upon Tor the future. This request was
refused BY the companies They de-
ellned TO recognize the miners right TO
voice in the wage question. and nou-
fed them that The schedule would hold
good until Aprll this year. and then
be subject to 60 days notice In other
words the operators claimed the right
to tx wages without any consideration
for the opinion Of the laborers, Then
the men quit work, Had the mine own
ers had any desire to prevent a rupture,
they could have done so, by recognizing
the rights Of the laborers to be heard In
the question OF wages And they could
have ended the strike at any time since
then. by agreeing TO submit the ques-
tons al issue to an impartial board Of
arbitration,
The attemp, to lay all the blame upon
the miners Is the old trick OF the thief
crying stop thief" so as to direct the
attention away from himself
