When Meat Will Be Cheaper.

The packers have known that there
would be a scarcity of marketable cat
tie for beef since the failure of the
corn crop. To some extent they were
prepared for it. They paid great
deal more for cattle and hogs this year
than they did year ago. Having
control of the supply, they have adj
vanced the selling price to higher
figure than they would have done if
the cattle country had been full of fat
cattle. At a time when prudence
should have led them to be satisfied
with moderate prices greed led them
to increase the margin between the
cost of cattle to them and the selling
price over the margin which has pre-
vailed for years. This is the just cause
for the fresh hostility of the people
against the packers. Now that the
railroads have been enjoined from pay
ing TO the packers rebates of from 81
to 81 cents hundred pounds from the
published rates of Is to % cents from
Missouri and Chicago to the seaboard,
they will lose 81, 600, 900 a year. The
best judgment is that common beef
will cheaper in July because grass-fat-
tened cattle will be then put upon the
market, but the corn-fattened beef to
which many people are accustomed
will not be much cheaper until the
country has good corn crop.

Evidently the new postmaster gen.
eral is not superstitious; he has de-
cided to issue 13-cent stamp. The
denomination is new to the postal
service, and is designed especially for
registered foreign mail. At present
il is necessary to use two stamps. one
of eight cents for registration, and
another of five cents for postage.
The new stamp will do the work OF
both. The design shows President
Harrison seated at his desk, and there
fore is departure from the usual
vignetted head. 1t would be interest.
ing to know how many people will
continue to prefer the old two-stamI
plan rather than risk starting letter
with a hOodoo number on the corner.

Thomas Frar,e.

Thomas Frame, an old resident of
this county, died at the county infirm-
ary at 5:45 this morning. He escaped
from the infimary between midnight
and O'Clock this morning, by cut
ting whole through the screen on
the window, and fastening a bed blank
ct to the steam radiator and letting
himself to the ground. He then
strayed to the railroad, where he was
seen by the train crew Of passenger
train No. 6. They reported him at
Inwood as lying on the bank dead
He was next seen by the crew of train
No. Is, at 4 O'Clock. They stopped
to examine him, and found that he
was not dead but in very low condi-
ton. They Immediately reported the
fact to Supt. Kruger. 1t was at first
supposed that he was killed by pass
ing train, but upon examining him
they found that not bone was brok-
en- nor even a scar was found on his
body. Coroner Kiser, of Inwood, was
sent for and an inquest was held. The
conclusion was that owing to his feeble
condition of the exposure caused his
death. He was about So years old
and had been resident of the north
part of Polk township for many years
before i'll health caused his removal to
the county farm.
The remains will be taken to Tyner,
and inferred Tuesday.

The report from st. Petersburg is
that the Gar will soon issue ukase
granting Russia a constitution. The
statement is to the effect that this
constitution will be on "the lines Of
the reform scheme drawn up by the
late General Loris MelikOff when he
was minister of the interior under the
grandfather of the present Gar" and
that the Gar is moved to this action
through fear of the revolutionary
agitation among the students and
among the peasants Of southern
Russia.

100000 900 Paid by Negroes.

Grafton, paid $40, OOO,O 600 in cash for
educating their children
This is the conclusion of Professor
Du Bots of Atlanta university in his
latest pamphlet in series of studies
of the negro problems. In this same
pamphlet he deals with the history
and present condition of common
school education among the negroes
of the Sonth.
In 1863 there were l $50, 900 negroes
of school age in the South. In the
army schools. established in the later
years of the civil war, there were
about Il, 900 negroes of all ages. In
1866 sthere lwere 9O,77S negroes of
school age in the schools of the South.
The number increased to 81. 500 in
1877, to l, 900, 463 in 1885. and to l.
511 SIS in 1899. In 1900 the negroes
of Delaware, Arkansas, South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Alabama. Mississippi,
and Louisiana paid $4,000 into
the public school fund and the negro
schools in the seven states cost ST.
345, s6s.
In the District of Columbia, Vir-
ginia, Florida, and Texas the negroes
contributed 81, PAS O3 to the school
fund and their schools cost 81, 557 OF.
In West Virginia, Tennessee, Missou-
ri. and North Carolina the negroes
contributed $751; 7s to the school
fund Sand their schools cost 81, 49,
$50. In Kentucky and Maryland the
negroes paid $500, 900 of the 1858, O35
expended in their schools.
1t appears from this showing that
the negroes of the black belt paid
more than their share of school taxes.
while in the border states they paid
less. OF the whole cost of negro
schools in the South In 1899 1851
5O4l the negroes paid nearly so per
cent, or SO, 1872, 900, and the whites a
little over 20 per cent, or s912,S97.
Professor Dubois, in studying the
reports from 1870 to 1899, reaches the
conclusion that in thirty years the ne
gro schools of the former slave states
have not cost the white taxpayers a
cent. In the thirty years the negroes
paid in direct school taxes s25, 900, 600
and in indirect taxes s45, 200. 900,
while for the same period the cost of
the negro schools was $50, 96s,671.
In addition to the s25, 900, 900 paid
in school tax the negroes have paid in
the last thirty years s15,00O,O 900 in
tuition at private schools, making a
total of $40, 200. 900 paid for educating
their Children. And yet the reports
show that only one-third Of the negro
children in the United States are at
tending school regularly, and those
who attend it regularly receive only
five months schooling in year.
In conclusion, Professor Du Bots
says. 1.-THE Southern schools are bad.
The white schools are bad. The ne.
gro schools pre- worse. Let the nation
Immediately give generous aid to
Southern common school education. u
1t was doubtless such appeals, based
on knowledge Of actual conditions,
that influenced Mr.. Rockefeller to
give 81, 900, 900 to the executive COM
mittee of the Southern Educational
Conference.

Chicago physicians have decided to
change their at ,itude toward the
newspapers and the public. Hereafter
it will not be breach of ethics for a
physician to write for a newspaper a
signed article on medical subject.
He may even allow his photograph to
be published in connection with the
article without losing his membership
in medical societies. He may be in
terviewed at length without arousing
the criticism of his fellow physicians.

naming in the theater all seeming to
have found temporary homes. The
Japanese themselves put the blame OF
the fire on to opium smokers among the
Chinese and do not think much of the
cat story. Yesterday the store keepers
searched for salvage one Japanese going
directly to where he found $25 gold
with which he proceeded to the pGI4ce
station to get change. A quantity of
Chinese cash lies in the ruins. Many
bicycles were burned in two repair
shops and metal articles generally re-
main. Everything else has been COM
pletely destroyed. The safes have all
been opened and their contents found
undamaged.
The owners generally present a more
cheerful appearance than might be
imagined. Lumber is already on the
ground for one building and others will
be re-erected as soon as the insurance
adjustments are made. The first figures
given of 1000 losses and $50, 900 insur-
ance are still approximately correct. As
stated in the Star yesterday the Queen
Insurance Company is the heaviest
loser.
The trolley wires have all been re-
placed on new poles and the Telephone
Company finished their repairs this
morning. Damages were light in both
cases. Insurance men still talk of in
cendiarism. A prominent merchant
this morning stated that one of the
largest insurance agents in the city pre-
dicted to him on Saturday that there
would be fire in the block that was
burned within a few days There are
several authentic cases or haste to get
insured on Friday and Saturday last
The spectacle of the owner running af-
ter the insurance man is an unusual one
and is thought to point to incendiary
origin for the fire. Many business men
down town are talking of adding 70
their insurance, not from fire bug mo-
tives but with a view of guarding their
own property against fires started else
where. If evidence can be gained OF
incendiarism the insurance men will
strain every effort to make an example
and deter future fires which are still
feared.

"The legislature only appropriated
$36, 900 for the two years. If $1,000 are
needed for the next six months, 1t Is
easy to see how inadequate this sum
was. Chief Justice Frear made up the
figures without having any cOnsulta-
ton with the circuit judges. Both the
clerk and the chief justice are of the
opinion that the appropriation should
have been 100000.

out being advised that they would get
no fees. They will no; be compelled to

Sam Parker, one of the jurors, pro-
posed to retire and consider whether
the jurors would sit on the case or not.
The defendant, Kaleihuia, charged
with assault and battery, refused to
consent to the withdrawal of the jury.

Judge Gear said that he did not know
what would be done. Other criminal
cases were postponed, the Judge re-
marking that the three judges had
communicated with the governor on the
subject. In the meantime the Circuit
Court is not trying any or ,minal cases.
A short time ago, the court held that
any prisoner held in jail and not given
a speedy trial, was entitled to dis
charge on habeas corpus.
The difficulty applies to all the cir
cults throughout the Islands. There
was one fund for current expenses OF
all of them, and it is all gone. There
are over a hundred prisoners in the
various jails throughout the Territory
now awaiting trial. In Honolulu there
are two murder cases, and several
murder cases are awaiting trial in the
other circuits.
