A GOOD POLICY.

1t seems that the smaller newspapers
are beginning to realize that the politi-
clans should pay for their publicity.
Many papers would be greatly enriched
if they charged a good round sum for
notices. instead of permitting any and
every "heeler" to get space for letter
extol.ing his own virtues. 1t is interest.
ing to mark the course pursued by news
papers in recent political contest in
Lexington, Ky. In that city the contest
for the democratic nomination for mayor
OF the city has been the most remarkable
campai n ever witnessed there, inasmuch
as it hes been battle OF news paper card
writing. A total OF 1915 inches were
printed in tine three papers OF the city,
for which the charge of 80 cents per inch
was made, making a total cost to the
candidates OF 81, 80. 80. One candidates
cards amount to $50 inches, while the
others cards footed up $500 inches. The
fact that every inch was paid for prove 9
that the Lexington publishers are pur-
suing proper course that brother news
paper men can adopt with profit.

When the Washington dispatches an
nounced that Senator Tillman's inten-
ton of addressing the sena,e on the coal
famine question, they added that no at
tention would be paid to his speech as
the senate does mot tal-e Tillman seri-
ously." But when TiIlman spoke, he
made the friends OF the administration
realize that it would be decidedly neces-
sary to take him seriously. And they
took him seriously indeed. as the sub.
joined dispatch to that rock. bound ad-
mi listration paper, the Chi ago Int :

There is too much OF a disposition
among decent black men to shield the

The public officers continually complain

the negroes we're generally prosecuted

Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain is reported
from Johannesburg as announcing that
measures must be taken to train the
natives to habits of industry" an1 that
il no other remedy can be found the
blacks must be compelled to work by
force" Truly, that suggestion smacks
of a design to re-establish negro slavery.
1t probably means, however, that the
slavery is to be disguised in some such
innocent form as ''hut tax" under the
operation of which..:South African CAPT.
talists may secure AN abundant supply
of cheap native. labor. Though "Britons
never will berslaves" themselves, some
OF them, like some Americans, are not
averse to makir slaves OF others. The

its roots deep in Anglo-Saxon philosophy.

a VAST SALT FIELD.
How the Product IL Obtained In the
Middle of the Colorado Desert.


Middle of the Colorado Desert.
In the middle Of the Colorado desert,
q little to the north OF the Mexican
border and 264 feet below the level Of
the sea, lies field Of crystallized salt
more than a thousand acres in extent,
presenting a surface as white as snow
and beneath the MONDAY glare of the
sun so dazzling that the naked eye
cannot stand its radiance. 1t stretches
away for miles and miles about Salton.
Colo. an ocean of blazing, blistering
white.
Here daily throughout the year men
are at work overturning the great de-
posit with massive plows and scrapers,
getting 1t into great piles preliminary
to putting 1t through the refining proc
ess. The salt plOws used to secure the
harvest are great four wheeled imple-
ments driven by steam and managed
by two men. The salt crust is thrown
up in parallel ridges; then laborers
with hoes work it to and fro in the
water, washing out the dirt prelim-
mary to stacking 1t in mounds to be
taken to the mill.
Salt springs in adjacent foothills are
constantly contributing to the deposit,
and so heavily laden are they with al
most pure salt that the pillow has hardly
passed on before new crust has
formed in the furrow left. This fact
renders it unnecessary to operate more
than small portion of the vast de-
post.
AS may be supposed. work in these
fields is performed under the most try
ing conditions. No white man can
stand the intense heat, and for this
reason the work is done wholly by
Japanese and by Coahuila Indians. OF
these the Indians are by far the better
adapted to the work, the japanese per-
forming only one portion. sewing the
sacks in which the salt is shipped The
atmosphere. laden as it is with parti-
Giles of salt. gives rise to painful
thirst, and the only available drinking
water comes from Il single well. 1t is
warm and i'll tasting.
Beautiful miragcs frequently appear
above the great salt field in the day
time, sky pictures of magnificent cities
and flower dotted. tree shaded fields.
The moonlight, too. produces Won
drously beautiful effects upon the
great field of cleaning salt. For sew
eral weeks in the year the thermome-
ter on the salt field averages 40 de-
grees, and the reflection of the sun
produces glare like that from a fur

MISS TAYLOR CLOSES.
Many Women Listened to Her Argu-
ment in Court Today.

Miss Rebecca j. Taylor, who has petit
toned the District Supreme Court for a
writ Of mandamus to compel the Secretary
of War to relnstate her to a position she
formerly held in the War Department, con-
tinued her argument today before Chief
Justice Bingham.
AS Is now well known, Miss Taylor was
dismissed for criticising in the public press
the administrators Philippine policy. She
contends that her discharge was in viola
ton of the civil service rules.
The unusual sight Of woman, not hav-
Ing the assistance Of counsel, pleading her
own case attracted another unusually large
number Of spectators to the room Of Cir
cult Court No. l. where the hearing is In
progress. A large part Of the listeners to-
day were women. and every one evinced
deep interest in the proceedings.
Miss Taylor, who spoke for more than
three hours yesterday, resumed the read
ing Of her voluminous typewriter argu-
ment Immediately after the court was
opened this morning. She held the floor
throughout the greater part of the day,
closing at 2:15 o'clock, when Mr.. H. H
Classic. assistant United States attorney
for the District Of Columbia, began the
opening argument in behalf Of the Secre-
tary of War.

TO PREPARE FOR MEETING.
Looking for Reassembling Of Joint
High Commission.

While the item Of appropriation of $780,
600 inserted in one Of the regular appro-
priation bills yesterday was SO placed at the
instance OF the State Department, 1t is
learned that SO far no arrangements have
been made for the meeting next summer Of
the joint high commission referred to in the
item. Senator Fairbanks, the chairman Of
the American side of the commission, has
as yet not communicated to the State De-
partment any response from Sir Wilfrid
Laurier, the Canadian premier. to his invi-
tation to reassemble the commission to con-
slider the other issues besides that growing
out OF the Alaskan boundary controversy.
However, it Is assumed, in view of former
expressions Of the Canadians, that they
will welcome a resumption Of the attempts
to settle these questions and that the only
consideration delaying the acceptance OF
the invitation relates to the time OF meet
Ing, 1t being expedient that the gathering
shall not be set for date when the Cana
dian parliament Is In session. SO the item
was inserted In the bill as a precautionary
measure in case Of a favorable response.
1t is highly probable that there will nee
essarily be some change in the American
personnel, owing to the state Of health OF
| some Of the original members.

THE ALDRICH BILL.
Mr.. Pugsley States His Objection to
Some of It's Provisions.

REPRESENTATIVE c. A. Pugsley Of New
York. who Is himself banker and also
member Of the House committee on pahh-
ing and currency, has called attention 10
some Of the features Of the Aldrich bill al
lowing state, county, municipal ana lhous-
trial bonds to be accepted by the Secretary
OF the Treasury as security for national
bank circulation.
Because of the fact that this bill is said
to be slated to become law at this ses-
sion OF Congress Its provisions are being
closely studied by bankers.
Mr. Pugsley, in discussing the matter
with Star reporter today SAID:
81 am in favor of the main propositions
OF the Aldrich bill, but there are certain
provisions that would criucise, and which
think would be unwise to enact into law;
If the bill was so amended that onlteo
States bonds. when deposited as security
for public funds, might be exempted from
the interest charge, or banks pieoglng
them as security relieved from holding re-
serve against deposits, II would TO my
mind be better and proper legislation. The
. elimination Of government bonds as basis
for public funds, which this bill would ac-
complish. would. in my opinion be u ~ Or
conditions which makes these bonds valu-
able to the banks. The fact that govern
ment bonds may be used both as a basis
for circulation and deposits has enhanced
their value, and II ole OF these conditions
is removed they will undoubtedly depre-
Eff the bill becomes law without
amendment, as I have mentioned, about
3l5OOOOOOO Of government bonds now held
as security for public deposits will I'M
doubtedly be thrown upon the market,
because the banks could not afford to pay
~ per cent interest upon deposits II these
bonds were o basis of security.
1T would seem to be OF some interest to
the government and to the people OF the
United States that II additional bonds are
to be placed for the building OF an isthmian
canal that the per cent bonds should not
be forced to sell below par. We have taken
5ust pride in the fact that United States
price than those of any other country in
the world. but II the Aldrich bill Is enacted
without amendment we shall undoubtedly
find that United States bonds will sell son
much the same basis as English consols,
unless their being used as a basis for cir
culation shall maintain their price. which,
in my opinion, Is hardly to be expected.
