The tobacco buyers having cleaned up
other sections of the state to consider
able extent, are now turning their atten-
ton to this part of Rock county and
sales are quite numerous. North and
east from this city, where but few sales
had been made up to two weeks ago, are
being rapidly thinned out. Prices are
fully up to former quotations and in
many cases are shade better.
In old goods there is an increased in
quiry and L. B. Carle & Son report the
sale of about 2OOcs of 1900. Rudolph &
Donahue sold 4OOcs of 1900.
r. G. Merrill has finished sampling
13OOcs of 1901 and the samples show a
fine lot. L. B. Carle & Son are sampling
their 1901 and are we'll pleased with the
samples so far shown.

VIRoQUA, Wis, Oct. Is, 1902.

Activity in tobacco matters has not
ceased in this county. For three weeks
past buyers have moEopolized every liv-
cry outfit in Viroqua and surrounding
towns and the hotels have been overrun
each night. The country districts have
swarmed with foreign and local inspect
ors and buyers. All appear to have been
successful in getting their share of con-
tracts for deliveries of the crop. One of
the riders tells the Censor that very
large per cent. of the farmers have dis
posed of their holdings, and the tran
sients will seek other fields of operation.

LAM AStER 4<EW ERA. OCC. Ii, lSUZ.
Although the market has been one
without much noise during the past
week, a fair amount of business was
transacted by the fortunate few. At the
same time it must be said that we have
what is generally called quiet market.
The sales that have been reported to us
we're 260cs of 1900 goods sold by S. M.
Seldomridge; 500cs of 1901 and other
years. goods sold by M. NJ. Fry, and 1876
cases sold by P. K. Leaman q Co.; in all,
945cs. For the corresponding week of
last year the sales were 359cs.
There appears to be something of a
lull in the trading for this years crop.
The bad spell of weather which for sew
eral weeks has interfered so much with
the curing of the 1902 crop appears to
have scared buyers out of the field; not
all, but a considerable number; and
there is not much anxiety on the part of
new hands to begin work until the
weather shall have become settled.

The market for old leaf is quite un.
eventful, transactions being largely OF
small lots manufacturers. Samples
of the 1901 crop have been offered on the
market but we learn of few sales so far
The weather conditions have been very
favorable of late for the complete curing
of the hanging crop which is now beyond
all dangers of shed injury and ready for
an early stripping.
The shipments out of storage reach 22
car loads, 1880 cases, for the week past
to all points from this market. Since
last report 71O cases of cigar leaf were
exported from New York.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES.

The indications now point to an early
opening of the warehouse season in this
state. The Indian Summer weather OF
late has put the finishing touches on the
cure of even the late harvested leaf SO
that the entire crop is now beyond any
danger from frozen or fat stems that in
some years figure as an important factor.
With the crop practically cured out
there is every reason to believe that
stripping will be started at an early
date as the packers who have large con-
tracts outstanding are anxious to start
warehouse work, knowing we'll that they
have long season before them. Prob
ably not much less than 1OO,OO0cs has
been bought for delivery in the bundle,
which means that the dealers have un-
dertaken the largest job yet attempted
in this state. The warehouse room nee
essary and the amount of labor required
to put into cases this amount of tobacco
should not be underestimated. One
thing at least is evident, there is bound
to be busy times around the tobacco
packing points the coming winter.
*
The help problem which they will
have to solve is another question and
while money talks, labor and to certain
extent, skilled labor, must be secured to
prepare the tobacco for, and put it into
the cases. This work which has always
been partly done by the grower and his
immediate family, and perhaps some out
side help, will this year have to be done
in the various warehouses, and should
we be afflicted with year like one the
writer we'll remembers, when the greater
portion of the crop hung until spring
and large portion of it was stripped in
March and April, then the work usually
done during five months of warehouse
| work would be crowded into two. In
this connection the advice of a we'll
known grower is timely: watch we'll
your sheds, get in line with your work,
| and get the early portions of your crops
stripped, remembering always that ex-
| cessive moisture must always be avoided
especially so in tobacco stripped before
/ we have cold weather. To prevent the
natural tendency to sweat, the stem
should and must be thoroughly cured
| out, and the leaf only in high enough
| case not to break, to secure light, dry
| and not soggy tobacco" 5 ~

The leaf dealers of Chicago have joined
hands with the retail cigar and tobacco
dealers of that city in organizing a cam
paign against the encroachment of the
big tobacco trust or the Cigar Stores
Company, whose cut prices are so de-
moralizing to the trade. A meeting re-
Gently held was attended by over 500
when an organization of the Retail Cigar
Dealers Association was made with more
than 4OO members. Lengthy resolutions
were adopted deprecating the offering of
prizes by dealers, the use of billboard
advertising, and the use of inferior ma
terial by manufacturers who found their
profits cut down by the combine. It is
said there are 25O0O retail cigar and to-
bacco dealers in Chicago. All of them
will be urged to join the association. It
is intended by the organizers to make it
national in scope, and to have dis
tinctive sign over the doors of places of
business of those who are members.
SlICQldI IoItCTS are 10 U0 SOul 10 all LQ0
trade unions in Chicago, explaining in
full the various phases of the present
fight against the so-called trust. All
union men will be asked to purchase to-
bacco from none but the independent
dealers. 1t is expected that this letter
will reach over 175,000 men, most of
whom are smokers. The result of this
movement to check the encroachments
of the trust will be watched with a good
deal of interest.
At special meeting of the New York
Leaf Tobacco Board of Trade held on
Tuesday, October 14th, the following
resolution, passed and submitted to it by
the Board of Trustees, was ratified with
out any opposition:

The u. S. Tobacco Journal has come
out squarely for so cent duty on i'm
ported wrapper leaf and asserts that
sum is high enough to afford all the pro-
lection needed to the growing industry.
While we cannot agree with him the
writer is not at this time going to take
issue with that paper in any discussion
of the question. It is quite enough for
us to know that the trade generally is
satisfied with the present duties and
any change would prove disturbing
element to business both as regards for
eign and domestic leaf. We will allow
the wrapper growers of New England
and the shade growing people to thrash
out the argument if they feel disposed

Mr.. John Gary Evans is advo
eating the proposition to turn the
state penitentiary into a fertilizer
factory. The scheme appears to he
reasonably plausible on it's face;
but if the people who use CONNER
cial fertilizesr consult their own
interests, they will never consent
to a state monopoly of this com
modify. If the fertilizer combina-
tions become oppressive, a way
can be found to regulate them;
but experience with the dispensary
has already been sufficient to show
that state monopoly of the fertil-
izer business would only add to
our troubles. -Yorkville Enquirer

RcLaurin Declines.
Refuses Judgeship in Court of
lsims

Oyste! Bay, n. Y July 81. -
President Roosevelt is in receipt of
II letter from Senator John l.. Nc
Laurin of South Carolina declin>
ing .he protfered appointment to
the Vacancy on the bench of The
United States court of claims. The
president, it can he said, much
regrets Senator McLaurin's de-
cision, as he believes that McLau-
rims senatorial experience and
his career as attorney general of
South Cal oIina would have rem
dered him a particularly good ad-
dltiun to the court of claims.
The president now is uncertain
what he will do about Senator Nc
Laurin. 1t is understood that he
is anxious to appoint him to some
position In recognition of what the
president regards as his service to
the country and his demonstrated
ability in public life. Senator
McLaurln's letter is eouched in
the most positive terms and evil
IDENTIFY was based in particular
upon newspaper article which
accompanied the letter. The ar
ticle stated that the senator had
sold himself for the prospect of
getting such an Office as that offer
ed to him. 1t can be said, how
ever, that the president regarded
such type of accusation as be-
meath notice and sincerely regrets
that Senator McLaurin should
have deemed it necessary to pay
any attention to it.
The position is worth $4,000
and the appointment is for life.
1t is said here that President
Roosevelt will offer McLaurin a
position with the isthmian canal
commission.

Reviewing The Tariff Issue.

The long hunt of the Demo
cratic party to find suitable issue
for the full campaign has at length
been crowned with success. The
Democratic papers have already
been discussing 1t for some time
eagerly and the Democratic con-
gressional committee has finally
decided to champion it. Why this
decision has been reached is ex :
planned by the chairmaH Mr.
Griggs, in this terse and conclu>
sive sentence: We get more ap-
plications for tariff literature than
for literature on any other sub e.
ject." This is hard on the Boston
anti imperlallst pamphleteers after
their arduous service i'm behalf of
the Philippine insurgents. 1t is
hard on the defamers of the Amer
lean army. 1t is equal y ungrateful
toward the yellow press, which
has endeavored to focus public
attention on the evils of monopos
lies and the great inequality and
injustice Of tho distribution of
wealth. The American reonle
turn all these issues aside as things
OF secondary Importance. Their
first consideration is to be given
hsnceforth to the question Of the
tariff.
May there not be some trick in
the way this diversion has been
accomplished May it not be a
shrewd move of the politicians
who see in the tariff the onIv
ground upon which they can bring
about "harmony" among them

The Man Who Died.

Los Angeles, Cal, July 10. -
The my stery surrounding the
identity of the man known as
"Charles HILL" who died a, the
Good Samaritan hospital here on
May l6, leaving SAP, 600 in cash,
has been solved. His real name
was Salem Charles, and his home
was in Brimisld, Mass.
The story Of the search for the
heirs by the public administrato or
and his attorney, Leon Nose,
is interesting After following
up innnmerabie alleged "ciues, "
all of which came to naueht Adj
ministrator Kellogg found among
the old mans effects an old family
bible. on the ilyleaf of which was
written sentences almost faded
and rendered illeglble by age.
The writing was magnlfied and
the name of "Charlesn and
"Brim-, Mass ;" were decipher
ed. Attorney Nose went to Brim-
field, Mass. ,andwithout disclosing
his identity, found a family
named Charles, which had been
prominent in that locality for
about 100 years. After a thorough
investigation, Nose became cons
vinced that he had found the fam
lily of the deceased. There are
eight direct heirs to the estate, the
most prominent of whom is Salem
Darius Charles, chairman of the
board of street commissioners of
Boston.
The old man, Salem Charles,
always had been an eccentric char
acter, and no reason has been found
for his change of name. He is
said to have made money by I'M
porting clo'h while residing in
Texas before and during the Civil
war.

MIR. A. G. Latimer is preaching
against the prevalent buncombe in
which certain politicians indulge
against Republicans. Because they
think it popular thing to do,
some politicians abuse and bemean
Republicans from the stump n $
swindlers and thieves, and seek to
pass this abuse asevidence of their
own loyalty to Democracy. The
thing is getting tiresome. Did we
not know that when these same
politicians get toWashington, they
are as thick with Republicans soc
tally and otherwise as with DEM
ocrats, such abuse might @ toler-
ated. But what we want now a
days is not epithet and lnvective:
but common-sense sho wing of
wherein Republicans are wrong
and how their policies are to be
improved upon. Brains, if they
are plentiful, 60 as far in Wash
ington as elsewhere, and Republi-
cans are to be overcome only by
superior brains. When Repub-
licans are in the minority abuse
is unnecessary, and when they are
in the majority, Just ordinary sill
ly abuse has no better effect than
to foster spirit of retaliation
which makes our people suffer.
There has been too much of this
kind of thing, aud too little good,
honest, able work. MIR. Latimer
is right about this matter. 1t is
not suggested that Democrats sur
render their principles to Repub-
,lcans. 1hlS IS not necessary or
desirable; but it should not be for
gotten that If right does not al
ways win, it ought to, and where
Republicans are right they should
not be opposed any more than
Democrats would want to be OPP
posed where they are right. But
anyhow let us away with this Wit
operation and abuse, this common
cursing, and require of our would
be representatives that they talk
to us only with ability and sense.
