The pity of Tom Reeds death grows in
the contemplation. 1t is not generally
known that he considered that he had made
money enough for his family through his
law business in New York, and seri-
ously thinking about quitting active work
I'm the law. Had he lived Ii Is easily within
the probabilities that he might have re-
turned TO public life, through one avenue OF
another. To the popular thought there was
both welcome and work awaiting him there.

Judge Allen granted judgment against
the defendant for the costs of the suit in
the of the trustees Of the Washington
school township against the Union Trac-
ton Company yesterday. The Traction
Company, in building its proposed line to
Noblesville. had laid out a route which
would carry the right of way through the
front yard of one of the township schools.
The suit was brought by the trustees asking
for an Injunction to prevent such occupa-
ton of the land. The line to Noblesville
was not built by the Union Traction Com
pany, but the proposed road will be built
by another company and over a different
route, which will not encroach on the
school property.

damages was concluded yesterday in Room
8, Superior Court, and the case submitted

SIMIAN SOCIETY,

II people are known by the company
they keep and II birds Of a feather flock
together. then there is an unmistakable
significance in the presence Of a. gor-
geously-dressed pet monkey on the re-
ceiving line and at the dinner-table Of a
Newport function" on the Fourth. The
vagaries Of the new society are about
as numerous. and queer as the methods
by which they achieved their fortunes
and social standing. but this ought to
be about the limit Of vulgarity for even
the star performer Of Baltimore's Brass
Band"
Mr. Lehr Is conressed1y sort Of clown
to the social circus up yonder. but what
can Mr.. Letter. the owner Of Jocko. say
for himself.
Dining with another is generally re-
garded as tacit admission of equality,
and it seems that Jocko has a regular
seat at the table on board Mr.. Letters
yacht. This must be a source of pro-
found pleasure to Mr.. Letters sister. the
wife OF Lord Curzon, viceroy Of India.
Tho sense of humor Of English gentle
men and ladies-and Of Virginia gentle
men and ladies. for that matter-is hard

Recently the suggestion was made by
/, a. distinguished citizen of Massac husetts
that monument to the memory OF
Robert e. Lee be erected in the city of

to say that tho noble hgure Of this

youth Of the land and an incentive to
patriotism. But tho suggestion has
aroused tho wrathful resentment OF the
Brooklyn Standard Union and Its con-
Standardization followers. and there is
a storm of protest Whenever there is
any manifestation OF a change Of senti-
Eent at tho North; whenever any brave
man rises to the occasion and pays trib-
ute to Lee, members OF the fire brigade
become alarmed and Degin to trumpet
and to cry treason.

Tho operators are engaged in producing
n great public supply. They have no
RICH. to disorganize business and to In
f:ct hardship on the coal consumers, un-
less their contention with the miners is
based on 4 far greater and moro endur-
ing principle than tho mere desire to
get the greatest amount OF work for the
least amount OF money. Those who are
giving that labor have rights which the
public Is beginning to understand. and
when once tho Justice OF tho case be-
comes apparent fair solution Will be
required at the hands OF both parties
In view Of tho Increased cost Of living,
tho operators ought to explain why the
present intolerable situation Is allowed
to continue, when the granting OF rea-
sonable advance IN wages would settle
the whole difficulty.

THE SOUTH AND TIE FOURTH.

II is Interesting to note that since the
advent of the moro harmonious national
feeling produced by the Spanish war
southern interest has been gradually re-
VIKING in that great old patriotic insti-
tlItion-the celebration of our Declara-
ton OF Independence, from the English
Government. Almost the only Southern
whito men that have celebrated the
Fourth of July since the Confederate war
were the then despised Yankee sarrisons
stationed in these conquered provinces. I"
After their withdrawal the day fell into
contempt as d negro holiday, and for
many long year it was a day for de-
cent white people 70 stay at home and

of lowering his caste by making a dem

THE TOBACCO INDUSTRY.

The Census Bureau has recently issued
a circular on tobacco The figures given
are surprising to people who have had no
occasion to note the rapid growth Of the
trade In the weed for the past several
years.
The report shows that Of tho divisions
Of the United States only Colorado. the
District of Columbia Nevada, Rhode
Island and Utah failed to produce tobac-
co in 1870 The total production was
SCs. 163. 265 pounds. an increase Of us per
cent. over the crops Of $780, The value
of tobacco products In 1900 was S22S3,o.6,o4G
n little more than half Of which was In
cigars and cigarettes. In cigars an aVcS<
age or III pounds OF tobacco went to the
thousand. and four pounds went to each
thousand cigarettes. Five States-Penn-
sylvania- New York. Ohio. Maryland anu
Illinois. In that order-made g per cent
Of the nations cigars.
The tobacco industry in 1900 paid sS,-
95l. 534 in salaries of officials. clerks, etc,
and s49.S52. 4s4 in wages to work people.
Last year It paid TO the Federal treas
ury IN taxes over S62ep.O0o.
This wonderful increase IN the produc-
ton OF the weed as well as in the manu-
facture and sale Of it surprises the New
York World, which argues from the facts
presented. that the smoking and chewing
habit is rapidly increasing among Alnerl-
cans. This is mistake. Probably
Investigation would result in showing a
decrease in American consumption Oh the
wesd. The increased production with
all the benefits 10 farmers. to laborers
and other employees. and to the govern
1nent arc due entirely to the business sa-
gacity and untiIing energy OF tho de-
spised tobacco trusts and combines.
These have sought new markets in for
eign lands. They have vast amounts
of money, and employed the very best
talent to be had in efforts to induce
tobacco consumers OF the whole world
to buy and use tho product Of American
tobacco fields, and American tobacco
factories. They have succeeded and
now millions upon millions OF cigarettes
and cigars and millions of pounds of
chewing ana SiiDhIis loc'bSNN0 "a
shipped from the factories of these hated
combines in America to all parts of Eu-
rope. to South America, to Japan. TO
China. TO Africa, and to the uttermost
parts of the earth. This and not IN
creased consumption IN the United States
is the cause Of these surprising figures
on the tobacco interest. A mighty COM
bination of capital. brains ana energy was
necessary to carry this stapie American
product to the ends of TIE earth. Who
reaps the benefit from this immense for
eign trade? 1t were nonsense TO contend
chat the tobacco growers, the army of
laborers, statesmen, factory managers,
clerks, etc. employed by these giant con-
Germs set none of tnen.

The Staunton Spectator does not fall
to take notice OF the fact that the north
crn press IS discreetly silent over the
outrages on negroes in Illinois. It says:
1T is needless to say that II such out
RACES as those recently recorded as oc-
curing in Illinois had occurred In any
State In the South. Crumpacker states
men would now be filing the Congress
sional Record with resolutions"
The Blackstone Courier, referring to
Tho Times statement that the news
papers OF the State seem to want to
drop both Bryan and Cleveland, says:
.'wo believe The Times has properly
diagnosed the temperament OF the
papers in this instance. Both Bryan
and Cleveland are regarded as exerem-
lists with the credit of more sincerity to
the former than the latter. Both are
the incarnation OF f-opinionatedness.
They would see the party ruined before
giving back one inch from any assumed
position"
The Buchanan Banner is another
paper that Is pleased with the new Con-
stitution. and it agrees with Mr.. Nundy
that, '.Since the honesty of future cleo
ton, is assured, It behooves us to elect
for Office clean. honorable and upright
men. We believe that the standard to
which the coming oftice-holders must
measure will be elevated to tho extent
that the electorate has been elevated"
Tho Norfolk Ledger has TO patience
with those State and county oficials}
who are bemoaning the loss of their free
passes It says:
1.-THE truth of the matter Is that the
Convention responded to the overwhelIn-
ing public sentiment OF the state when
il adopted g clause abohshlng tree
masses. and those officials who are al
fectad bv the new law might just as
we'll submit gracefully to the situation.
The Leesburg Record Is opposed to
large commission to revise tho CODE so
that it may harmonic with the new Con-
stiturion. It thinks three able men would
be enough. and says:
ITO talk about appointing committee
nf twenty or even twelve members IS
not only arrant nonsense, but too plain
