CARBONDALE, H., July 20.-In his
war with union miners in his coal camp
at Ziegler, Joseph Letter has established
what is practically a principally or
feudal estate. Seven thousand and hve
acres OF coal land are owned there by
Mr.. Letter. and the entire tract Is now
being inclosed by a stockade.
No person Is permitted to enter Ziegler
without a permit from Mr.. Letter, and
twenty-five telephone stations have been
established around the place. These are
in charge of armed detectives from Chi
cage and II a daring man or woman Is
rebuffed at one point alarms are sound
ed on all the telephones and the armed
detectives are Immediately on the alert
to stop the trespasser.
The stockade when completed will be a

Mrs. Macmillan made many earnest

made a request to be allowed to reach
the office and obtain her mail Accord

back and informed her that. pursuant
10 Mr.. Letters orders. no one might go
10 the postoffice without the Letter
passport. If any mail was there for her,

only by a special messenger employed

TT IS IMPROVING.

The esteemed Memphis News is un- doubtedly improving, politically speak ing, for 1t says:
 It is impossible for all to get together on Mir Cleveland or Mir. Hearst IL Is possible for all to get together on Judge Parker or MT. olney. That is why we either a Cleveland or a Hearst dC'e- gation to St. Louis and that Is why we believe that both MT. Cleveland and Mir. Hearst will be rejected by the National Convention of the Democratic Party.
 Now, while it Is not creditable to any reputable newspaper to put MT Cleveland down in the same connection with MT. Hearst, we can even excuse that in con- sideration of the fact that The News is so favorable to such an eminently sound Democrat as Richard Olney. It Is true that in the editorial from which the above extract is taken the paper has many hard things to say of MT. Cleve- land, but 1t also says 1t would support him for the nomination If 1t could be- lieve him to be the most available man to beat Roosevelt. That 1t does not so believe may be the result of prejudice, or of honest doubt. There are those who really and firmly believe that Cleveland is the strongest man that the party has, but they, also. may be mistaken. Let The News admit that they are at least as honest in their belief as 1t Is.
 Whether all Democrats could get to- gether on MT. Cleveland is a matter about which we might differ, but let that pass. What there should not be any difference of opinion about is that there could be nothing approaching Demo. cratic solidarity following the nomina. ton of Hearst. How any man of ordi nary sanity can imagine such a thing a. reunited Democracy with Hearst as tn, nominee is something entirely beyond human understanding. Thousands O Democrats in the country wh refused to follow Mr. Bryan in 1898 O even in 1900. would gladly return to tn party if any reason or inducement wer offered them. Any man outside of a asylum ought to see that they will nc return for the purpose of voting for sue man as Hearst, and 1t ought to | equally plain that no Democrat can sut ceed without the help of many who hay not been voting the party ticket in I' cent national elections. If they coul not support a man of Bryan character and ability how could they l expected to vote for such a polite; mountebank as Hearsf?
 We will be glad if Tennessee refus, to send a Hearst delegation St. Louis. If it will send soc men there without binding instruction

CHEAP LAND AND MEAT.

In a recent issue of one of our North western contemporaries we find a short article which we quote entire:
 During the present month trainioad ot finished stock, consisting of twenty one cars of cattle and hogs. were shipped | cago. The hogs topped the market, the cattle brought within a few cents of the | highest market price. This attracted the attention of an Illinois stockman of long stockman: Where were those cattle of yours raised?'' Tn South Dakota was the reply. Where were they fed?, 'ln South Dakota" came the answer. Where County. South Dakota" How long were they fedT' Ninety days" am swered the South Dakota stockman. What did the corn cost?' Twenty; worth up there?" From $l0 to $2O an acre." answered the South Dakotan.
 We'll" replied the Illinois stockman. If you raise such hogs and such cattle as these in South Dakota, bring them here and compete with our market, fat tened on corn at 50 cents bushel and fed on land worth $l0O an acre, either one of two things has got to happen; has got to become lower. We can't com pete with you on the present basis"
 Now 1t is not likely that Illinois lands win become less valuable. but 1t Is quite certain that SOutn DdkOCd ldHo5 VIII Oe- come higher.
 What we wish to call attention to in this connection is the stated fact that the people of South Dakota can raise meat so as to compete with the Illinois farmers at their own doors, and that they do this because land is so much cheaper in the former than in the latter State. Would not the same reasons apply to Alabama against the Northwest? Tha average valuation of land in Alabama is | very much below even $lO an acre, and If cheap land enables the South Dakota farmers to make money by growing and fattening hogs and cattle, it would seem that Alabama need not fear competition But the low price of land is not the only advantage we have, for certainly the difference in climate should be a large factor in our favor. Why not Alabama meat in Chicago, instead of having Il always the other way.

rHEY ARE USEFUL.

Under the heading, Men are useful" The Portsmouth Wa.) Star has an &C., count of a woman in Suffolk who was awakened at night by a burglar. She opened tine door with pistol ready and orened 1t with such good effect that the intruder left trail of blood behind him as he escaped in the darkness. The Star adds:
 The first thing for women to do is to learn the use of a pistol, keep 1t out of the way of harm and not to use 1t till she is sure of an intruder. She must not be ready to shoot member of the fam fly who may go about the house at night,
 The next thing for a woman to do Is to have man, husband or son, about the house to do the shooting at burglars. Meanwhile the man is useful for other things often.
 The Star makes a point that we have more than once referred to, and that is that women. especially if they live in exposed places. and are liable at any time to be left unprotected. should be provided with firearms and taught to use them and rely on them if occasion offers. It is we'll enough to say that there should always be a man about the house but that is often impossible. However useful the man may be around the house he cannot always be there. When he is not. the woman or women. should be trained to feel that they can protect themselves, that it Is their right to dc it. and that 1t is a solemn duty which they owe to themselves, to their families and to society to be prepared to punish an intruder, whether he be only a burg. lar or something worse.
 No woman should get the mistaken Idea into her head that it would be un- womanly to protect herself, her family and her property When a man tries to 'A steal or force his way into a home where fhere~ Is no male to prevent his inRress a well-directed shot fired by woman would be more effective lesson than the law itself could teach. in many cases If the idea could get abroad that a wo- man. even if no man is present. is not at the mercy of any villain who may think her an easy prey, it would, in our opinion. have a strong tendency towards preventing such attempts. Men are use. ful." as The Star says but they are not always on hand.
