AS WE SEE OURSELVES.

OF course, every American has felt indig-
nant about Mr.. Chamberlain's rather
sweeping charges of corruption in America,
zines TEEN with tales of graft" and
'boodling." We do not like to have others
see us as we see ourselves. How thorough
ly we regard our own politics as corrupt
was we'll illustrated few days ago in a
board meeting of a local manufacturing
public contract came up. In this particu-
lar case the authorities in charge had sent
specifications direct to the factory and
asked them to bid on what would have
been very attractive work if the invitation
had come from a private concern. One
his experience and observations on public
contracts with counties, townships and mu-
inequalities. One had tried to bid on a
proposition at one place and found that it
was necessary to entertain every member
of the council. or at least his competitors
did. Another declared that in the few eff
forts he had made in this direction he had
met with hints that 1t would be wise to
FIX" so-and-so and so-and-so. Another
had found a contract he sought already de-
termined long before it was advertised. and
fourth recited the trouble the house
invariably had in getting its money out of
municipal contracts that carried guaran-
tees giving officials an opportunity to club
the contractor over the head. Here were
half dozen business men, engaged in
widely varying pursuits and interested in
this one concern, called upon to determine
whether or not the house should 'deviate
from its rule Of not dealing with public
boards. The decision that there should be
no deviation from this rule was unanimous
and the reasons set forth by the individual
members showed an utter lack of conf
dence i'm the intelligence and honesty of
such boards

Lower prices to the farmers for beets
is one thing that 1t means" said Charles
Boettcher to-day. speaking Of the proposed
20 per cent. reduction in the tariff on sugar
imported from Cuba and the Philippines,
land it will be a serever blow to the beet
sugar industry in the West. or course we
shall keep our factories running as long as
we cam as long as the farmers will supply
us with beets at a reduced price; but the
cut in the duty is bound to reduce the price
of refined sugar and when the price of the
finished product declines We cannot con-
tinue to pay the same price that we have
been paying for the raw product. We are
hoping against hope that the measure re-
ducing the duty on sugar will not be passed,
but so far as / can judge the prospects for
us are not very bright.
There isn't another industry in the State
that Is doing more for the general welfare
OF the people or accomplishing more for

nothing, however, for the mayor has fol-

tween and around them was gold Mr..
Hirst was given several or the molars, and,
in order TO satisfy his own curiosity, he
shows that the teeth are really wedged
with pure gold. Other assays have been
made OF the teeth in Atchison's possession.
and the result was the same The cattle
had filled their teeth with the precious
mineral.
OF course. the widest speculation has
field In this case. At first Ii was supposed
that the cattle. being OF exceptionally
rare breed, had been actually submitted TO
a dentist. who filed the teeth 20 avoid or
check decay. This theory soon proved
itself absurd, as fully twenty OF the cattle
had the gold. and the cost of filling their
teeth would have been an item Of no small
consequence Then, again, no one ever
heard OF 4 cow having its molars filed with
gold. Ard. moreover, the gold. I'm some
cases. was packed in between the teeth
an opera ton that no dentist would ever
conduct.
The theory that receives general belief
is that The cattle, in grazing over some
large territory, had run across free gold
on the surface. and. In eating the grass and
shrubs down to the roots, mad uncon-
sciously picked up gold bit By bit. Mr.
Hirst says that while this is very plausible
yet il may be that the cows. in drinking
from some stream, got the golden particles
into thei< teeth and then their food had
gradually packed them solidly.
In any event, the facts are evident. Who
can furnish the solution?

Starke County Qnd) Republican.
Some time ago told you about the fine
field OF corn on the Jamison farm up in
Davis township. You will remember that
George 81. Brown stated that he would
wager good team of horses against the
chances Of a Kentucky Republican that the
field aforesaid would yield at least ninety
bushels Of corn to the acre. Many persons
secuted the idea that there was land good
enough in Starke county to produce such
yield. Well, time has told the story. and
the yield is exactly 101h bushels to the
acre. Isn't that an interesting chapter IL
the history of old Starke? What do we
care about oil fields and electric railroads
and istamian canals and Bryan's 5000

the laborers I'm Chicago go out a strike
and set the Chicago river on fire? Because
Tom johnson lost out on his 2-cent fare
campaign is of small consequence to us.
just as long as we can raise $40 worth or
corn to, the acre on lands wrested from
Jamison field is by no means the only one
IN Starke county that will show up at the
scales IN such a pleasing light. Oregon
and move mountains of corn toward the
elevators, and then North Bend, California
and Center will edge in with the greatest
wealth of corn in their history. Old Wayne
township will go Republican at the cribs
this fall, and all her farmers will go out
and offer up thanks because they will be
paid on the gold basis instead OF the silver.
