How the New Tax Effects O1eo.

Some of the newspapers are declaring
that the law placing 10 cent tax on
colored oleomargarine is a failure from
the dairy standpoint because the sales
of foleomargarine have fallen off only 40
per cent under the new law. 1t Is not
the dairymen. however, who are worry
ing about the result. Il this new law
had not gone into effect there would
probably have been an increase of 90
per cent in the sales of oleomargarine.
That is the sales of oleomargarine are
only little more than one-third as
large as they would have been but for
the law. The sales of oleomargarine in
the United States this year will be one
hundred million pounds less than they
would have been il the law had no
been changed. The dairymen of th'
United States have a market for TWEEN
ty-five million dollars worth of butte
more than they would have had.

A Good Move.

The organization of cooperative in
surance company in Boise is a splendid
answer to the methods of the insurance
trust in it's assault upon the insurance
law of the state and the raising of in
surance rates when the companies were
forced to pay license to do business in
Idaho. These cooperative insurance
companies are growing in public favor
in many states and where well man
aged, are uniformly successful, greatly
decreasing the cost ot insurances-News

Aristocracy a State of Purse.

Enlightened Americans once had more
or less of creed that srissocracy was a
state Of mind: of late years it has come
to mean state of purse. We see to-
day in New York fashionable society
which has no place for statesmen,
authors, scientists, editors, unless
they are very rich. Newport is still
more frank in this rigorous exclusion.
The multi millionaire set each summer
ignores the naval officers as their ships
lie in the harbor. Even President
Roosevelt was suffered to visit the
place without scial recognition; in
spite of his high and ancient lineage,
be is not rich enough to be in the
social swim. Once it happened that
Speaker Thomas B. Reed, while at the
climax of his power, when he was per
haps the most notable statesman in
America, was on friends yacht in
Newport Harbor. That night social
function was going on at a house
where Mr.. Reed was known and honor
ed, but an invitation to him could not
be yentured unimportant personages
could be smuggled in because they
were readily forgotten; but the giant
could not be bidder, for the social
break would be too conspicuous. -

ANOTHER Big COTTON COUP.
Brown and Haynes May Combine
Forces With Sully TO Advance
Prices.
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
According to report, another bull
campaign in cotton is to be waged in
the crop now moving to market. The
new coup with Cotton Exchange brck-
ers are gossiping about nowadays is
said to have as it's organizers the old
Brown Hayes pool of New Orleans,
and D. J. Sulley of this city. The
triumvirate are known to be bullish
on this years crop and are talking
much higher prices for the staple:
The combination successfully carried
through the biggest cotton deals ever
attempted in this or any other cotton
exchange during the last year. bat the
members worked at different times.
The first movement of Importance was
made by Mr.. Sulley, and he closed his
trades with handsome profit. The
work was taken up by the Brown
Hayes pool, of New Orleans, and they
continued the corner throughout three
months and sold the greater part Of
their cotton at extraordinary profits.
It is said that Col W. P. Brown will
leave this city shortly TO take up the
work of organizing the New Orleans
market, while the New York market
will be left to D. j. Sulley, and Frank
V. Hayes. according to report, viii
look after the Liverpool manipulation.
A division Of the work, such as is in
dicated, it is considered, will result in
a strong combination.
On the Cotton Exchange yesterday
the report of cooperation of these
three interests to lift the price of COT
ton resulted yesterday in slight furry

EHaLlsHMAA on THE TARIFF.
Ernest HamIyn Says a High Tariff

ed to London from Chicago. In it he
declares the commercial greatness OF
this country IS due to the tariff, add

Question of Ethics.

The Orangeburg Patriot, which pro-
fesses to have no partisan feeling for
either Jas. II. Tillman or n G.. Con
zales, concludes a long editorial upon
the recent trial in Lexington with the
following opposite remarks:
Lastly, the latitude allowed attor-
neys in which they may honorably 60
counter to their personal convictions,
either in defending Or prosecuting a
case, is entirely oisproportionate to
that allowed witnesses and jurors in
testifying and deciding case. For
the sake of argument, or illustration,
let US suppose that an attorney takes
the wrong side of case for a. fee.
Suppose, then, a juror on the same
case decides the wrong way for CON
sideration.' In what way shall we
measure the moral quality of their
respective acts or diferentiate the
moral principles involved in each?
How much better or worse, how much
more honorable or dishonorable, is it
to advocate a wrong cause for fee
than it is to decide cause the wrong
way for considerations
The Record not so bluntly, made
some observations last week upon the
same point. Lawyers are bringing
their profession into disrepute by sharp
practices. Court houses are becoming
temples of injustice. The most deeply
dyed villain can obtain the jealous
services of able lawyers to help him
cheat the law if he but have the price.
And all this is excused upon the spec
ious plea that the lawyer is in honor
bound to do everything in his power
for his client. If a private citizen helps
criminal cheat the law and escape
punishment, he" compounds felony"
and is punishable, but if an attorney
does the very same thing, he is
"great lawyer" and has "done his
duty'' to the client WHO bought his
brain and conscience. Is it any won
der that lynch law should have advo-
Gates when such conditions flourish.
Can the bar associations do nobler
work than to purify the legal profes-
sion? It will take high moral courage
to do this work and do it fearlessly
and thoroughly, but it should be done.

PANIC OVER IN BALTIMORE.
Bankers Of Other Cities Send MIL
lions to Tide Over the Crisis.
Maryland Trust Company Expects
to Pay Dollar for Dollar to
Creditors.

Baltimore, Md, Oct. 20.-Four mil
lions of dollars. which arrived here
early this morning by express from
New York, Philadelphia and Washing
ton. cleared the financial atmosphere,
and at the closing time of the various
monetary institutions this afternoon
there was every confidence that the
crisis in the financial district of the
city had been safely passed. Every in
coming train during the afternoon and
evening brought packages OF money to
the banks and trust companies and to-
night it is estimated that there is at
least SO, 00O, 000 OF currency in the
vaults of the financial institutions OF
the city.
Conferences were held during the
evening between various interests
and it was stated late tonight by. a
promient banker that no further
trouble among the banks of financial
institutions of the city was probable.
The directors and tie receiver OF the
Maryland Trust Company, the first to
close its doors on Monday, held con-
ference today, and discussed ways and
means, but late tonight Receiver
McLane said that he had nothing to
make public, although he expressed
the opinion that the company would
in the near future be in a position
to pay dollar for dollar to depositors
and creditors.
The directors of the Union Trust
Company also held a long session dur.
ing the day. While the statement OF
assets and liabilities OF this company
is not ready to be presented to the
Courts, Receiver White expressed the
opinion that the company will in few
days resume business.
Other banking and trust companies
have been well fortified with currency,
and no further trouble is expected from
any quarter.

FEAR OF WAR NOT REMOVED.
Continuance Of Har|ike Preparations
in Far East Cause Apprehension.
Russia is Active on the Corean
Frontier, But Assures Germany
That She will Keep Strictly
on the Defensive.

Yokohama, Oct. 21.-The ministerial
conferences, naval preparations and
notably, the appointment Of Vice Ad-
miral Toga, known as fighting ad-
miral,'' to commnad the standing
squadron, have led to a renewal Of
the anticipations of trouble. Some
decided development in the crisis is
expected shortly. The steamship and
railroad companies have been notified
to be in readiness for emergencies.
RUSSIA is ACTIVE.
London, Oct. PA dispatch to
Reuters Telegram Company, from
Toxic, says:
Russian military activity on the
Corean frontiers is unabated. The
important newspapers take a gloomy
view. They are inclined to believe
Russia does not intend to fulfil her
repeated promises and declaration,
in which case it will be incumbent
on Japan to take decisive steps for the
sake of her very existence. The
japanese gunboat Chiokai was to have
wlntered at New Chwang, but this
arrangement has been countermanded.
A report was l.. circulation on the
Stock Exchange to-day that the nego-
tiations between Russia and Japan had
been broken off, but the foreign Office
officials here said that they haa not
heard anything coDfrmatory of the
rumor. This statement was made sub
sequent to a visit paid by Baron
Hayashi, to Foreign Minister Lans-
downe this afternoon. The officials of
the foreign Office add that the report
was contrary to the general trend OF
it's information.
ON THE DEFENSIVE.
Berlin, Oct. 21.-The German Gov
eminent takes cheerful view of the
Russo-Japanese difficulties. Russia
has conveyed assurances to Germany
that she will keep strictly on the de.
fensive if Japan occupies Corean ports
in force. Japan may act aggressively
towards Corea without Russia being
afronted thereby making a counter
stroke. The only limitation Russia
places on japanese action is that she
must not Cross the Yalu River.
The impression that might be derived
from the foregoing definition of Rus.
sian policy, it is pointed out here, is
that the negotiations are nearing ar
end favorable to Japan. But the asso'
ciated press is informed that while
the result of negotiations is still
pending precautionary military pre-
parations on both sides are going on.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

No one who is acquainted with its good
qualities can be surprised at the great
popularity of Chamberlain's Cough Rene
dy. It not only cures colds and grip efec-
tually and permanently, but prevents these
diseases from resulting in pneumonia. It
is also certain cure for Group. Whoop-
ing cough is not dangerous when this
remedy is given. 1t contains no opium or
other harmful substance and may be given
as confidently to baby as to an adult. 1t
is also pleasant to take. When all OF these
facts are taken into consideration it is not
surprising that people in foreign lands, as
we'll as at home, esteem this remedy very
highly and very few are willing to take
any other after having once used it. For
sale by China's Drug Store.
