The BEEF TRUST.

The Chicago Tribune has got hold
OF lot of letters from the combine
packing houses that show the exist
ence of the trust and its continuous
manipulation of prices beyond ques-
ton. Moreover they show that the
action is always in the direction OF
keeping up the price of dressed beef
and keeping down the price OF cattle.
One of the letters from a responsible
official of the Armours to the Kansas
City representative of the firm is
especially interesting to people out this
way. as it deals with the question of
hides. 1t is dated February -, 1902,
and says:
Nothing very much came OF our
meeting $. a. s., Hammond and CId-
ahy seemed disinclined to do anything,
but in a general way think it checked
NJ this disposition to take off IA OF
cent from each car OF hides any one
sold Morris, Swift and ourselves are
holding firm. The i1ea Is that these
people will buy these hides as soo7 as
there is anything to the market to Gre
ate the belief that it has struck bot
tom or that there Is a reasonable de-
gree of strength. 1t is not that they
do not want to buy hides. but because
they are afraid the bottom will drop
out on them. On branded stock We
are all about on a parity. that is. very
few hides on hand. There has been
less disposition on the part OF the
three weakened fellows to offer hides
ahead. and that has had its moral eff
feet. as we notice little more inquiry
today and some sales of Colorados at
II 3-4 cents. whereas they had sold at
II 1~2 cents. Personally, do not
look for any advance in hides. but
think the hides will sell at a fair price
when the tanners come into tn mar
ket, In other words | do not think
Offering them at a mean price would
move them just now, and making a
mean price would simply have bad
influence on the market and fetch no
business.
Now the Dingley tariff duty was put

was for the benefit OF the cattle grow
er. though at the time it was pretty
generally known that 1t was done at
the demand OF the packers, and was
for donations made by
them to the Mckinley campaign fund.
Mark Hanna was the special champion
OF this duty. and he knew where the
funds came from. The revelation
wipes out the last shade Of excuse for
the retention of this duty, and IL Con-
gress has in reality any desire to deal
with the beef trust, it will remove the
duty on hides, meats and live animals,
and also pass the bill giving the inter-
state commission power to enforce It's
orders.

GOOD SPELLING ESSENTIAL.

The following paragraph. which
has recently appeared in several ex-
changes. is worth the attention OF
everybody who is paying school taxes:
In the English courses at Northwest
ern University, Evanston. Illinois. a
spelling test proved that 66 2-3 per
cent of the classes failed in spite of two
months drilling in photography. The
greatest number failed on the words,
Heterogeneous, Judgment and
thorough The professors at North
western say that the same conditions
ao''j in all the other colleges os the
county.
This truth is becoming more pain
fully evident every day, and the un-
questionable cause of it is defective
teaching in the primary schools. 1t
Us in those schools that children must
learn to spell IL they ever learn. 1t is
there that the memory must be culu-
waited and that exactness must be in
eulcated. Let child finish the lower
grades with sloppy and slovenly
knowledge, and he is ruined nine
times out OF ten. no matter how many
subjects he has dabbied in.
Every teacher. every trustee. every
ch"ol superintendent. ought to know
; his. and ought To guard against any
such unfortunate results. The truth
is that putting a child through the
lower grades without being we'll
grounded in spelling is no less than
crime. Why? Because 1t destroys
the child's chances in business life un-
less by great application he remedies
the defect in later life Do you doubt
that? Consider the situation.
Bad spelling is uniformly a badge
Of ignorance. Would you employ q
! doctor who wrote "newmonnia" for
pneumonia? OF course not, and vet
there are some very good physicians
who are not very reliable spoilers.
Would you employ a bad speller as a
clerk. or borkkeeper, or tyhewrltero
You could not afford to keep him.
Yon could not afford to send out let
ters containing mlsspelled words, and
you could not afford to waste time cor
recting them and having them re-
written
Start a boy or girl into any kind of
occupation, and bad spelling Is
handicap. 1t they aim at professional
life it is a constant drawback. 1t can
not be hidden. 1t is one respect in
which one betrays his defect in the
most humiliating way, and to the very
persons whom he would wish to con-
ceal it from. BY all means give more
attention to spelling in the primary
and graded schools. Drill the chill
dren in it. There is no possible way
in which they can learn it except by
long practice and reiteration.
