Condition of Crops.

The Mississippi department of the
climate and crop service issued the
following summary last week:
The mean temperature for the
week was slightly above normal.
Showery weather prevailed the last
four days of the week and in some
Of the southern counties the rain
fall was heavy, while i'll many cen
trail and northern counties it was
very light.
There is more or less complaint
of poor stands of crops and slow
growth of vegetation yer the north
ern portion of the State and in some
of the southwest counties, due to the
prolonged dry weather, but on the
whole crops, although small and
quite backward, are clean, well cul-
tivated and have generally been ma
terially benefited by the warmer and
showery weather. The improvement
in cotton is quite marked in many Of
the southern counties, but on the
other hand some fields of late plant
cd cotton in the northern counties
have failed to germinate for want OF
sufficient moisture. Stands of early
cotton range from fair to excellent ;
chopping out is about completed
over the southern portion of the
State and is well advanced north;
lice are still damaging III some
southwestern counties. Corn con-
tinues small for the season, but it
is being laid by north and has begun
to tassel and silk south. Dat harvest
continues; the crop is fair to good
south, but poor north. Sugar cane
is doing well. In some localities peas
are being planted and sweet pota-
toes set out. Minor crops are SUI
fering for rain in many places. To
mato shipments have commenced
from the south. Pastures are poor
and there is much complaint OF
ccarcitv of stock water.

Evidences That the Big Combinations
Sell Cheaper Abroad Than in
United States.

The much disputed question OF how
much cheaper the trusts sell their
products to foreigners than to the
people of the United States has been
settled as far as steel rails are on
cerned. The evidence was produced by
Senator Bacon in a speech made in the
senate April 25, which is published in
the Congressional Record, April 2S, on
pages 6 ,040-56. He conclusively shows
by the evidence of Mr.. Wright, gen.
eral manager of the Macon, Dublin &
Savannah Railroad company, that he had
paid $29 a ton for steel rails for his
railroad, which the steel trust offered
to sell for $40 if exported to Honduras.
Mr.. Wright, who is a republican, was
quite indignant at being thus plum
dered by the steel trust, and says:
I'VE American citizens paid to this
American industry $4,000 in excess of
what foreigners would have been COM
PEELED to pay" A bonus in excess OF
5000 a mile is quite a stiff tax to pay
the steel trust, and Senator Bacon
stated that the railroads of the United
States have for the six years beginning
in 1898 and ending in 1903 used 12,-
544, 242 tOns of steel rails, and paid for
them $3.50, $50, 904 more than the same
rails would have been sold for to for
eigners. This enormous extra pront
from Americans is arrived at from the
testimony of Mr.. Schwab. who was
president of the steel trust, that rails
could be manufactured for S12 a ton,
and sold at a fair profit in this country
at SIG a ton. The average price during
the six years for which the computa-
ton is made was $2S per ton, which is
the price to-day. The difference be-
tween SIG and S2S makes the amount
stated by Senator Bacon.
Most people would not be especially
interested in how much the steel trust
plumbers the railroads, except that the
high prices of rails undoubtedly adds
to the rates for passengers and freight,
so that indirectly everyone that uses
the railroads pays his share of that
enormous bonus.
The tariff duty on steel rails is 1854
a ton, and this tax prevents foreign
rails from being imported, and thus
keeping the price within reasonable
bounds. Mr.. Schwab also said in his
testimony that foreign countries could
not manufacture steel rails for less
than $19 a ton, which, if freight and
duty is added, would make them cost
about s2S, the price the trust charges.
With this evidence of. plumber that
the tariff allows the trust, who, ex-
cept the stand-patters, will say that
the steel trust schedule should not be
revised? And the evidence that he
same tariff plumber is fostering other
trusts in like manner, is the reason the
democrats demand that all the sched-
ules that shelter trusts should also be
revised.

Plumbers Producer as Well as Con-
sumner, Aided by the Powerful
Railroad Pools.

The packers combine has such COM
plete control of the cattle, hog and beef
markets that it laughs at injunctions
and does not seem to fear other legal
proceedings the administration might
invoke. If President Roosevelt would
instruct his attorney general to pro-
coed against the individual members OF
the combine under the criminal section
of the antitrust law it is probable that
their hilarity would soon cease and they
would be suing for peace. One trust
magnate behind the bars would have a
restraining effect upon the whole brood.
The alliance between the packers
combine and the railroads has been
notorious and no one has been able to
compete with them for that reason
alone, as it gives them a virtual monop-
oily of transportation and markets. The
interstate commerce commission has
asked for power to prevent and punish
determinations and the paying of re-
bates to favored shippers, but neither
the president nor the republican ma
jority of congress have seemed anxious
or willing to punish railroad or trust.
The farmers and the beef consumers
are both vitality interested in the beef
monopoly and, as Chairman Babcock
says, the farmers, through reading the
daily newspapers, have become so 'in-
telligent" that they keep congressman
busy asking questions on matters OF
public interest. 1t might pay the farm
ers. and the beef consumers rs we'll, to
make especial inquiries why the beef
combine is not prosecuted under the
criminal section, and why the railroads
are allowed to discriminate in favor OF
the few and against the many. If the
intelligent farmer or the city consumer
has in former campaigns questioned his
congressman and was promised relief
from monopoly, which has certainly not
materialized, is it not about time to
elect some n in his place who will
not only promise but perform? These
determinations by the railroads and the
monopoly of the cattle and hog and beef
market have continued for years and the
farmers and their customers in the city
have quietly submitted to promises OF
reform, but instead of relief the system
has grown from bad to worse.
The democrats in congress proposed
several bills, and amendments to 9th
ers. that would have had the effect OF
defeating monopolies, but the republic
an majority refused to consider any
measure that would strike at the root OF
the evil. They we're too anxious to fol-
low the orders of President Roosevelt
to pass the appropriation bills and go
home.

Deficit in Prospect.

The vaults Of the State treasury
now contain less than $150,0OO, and
a deficit is Immediately in prospect
unless the payment of the scmi-an-
nual distribution of the school fund
is deferred for a few weeks. The
school fund distribution, amounting
to $416,666.66, is payable, according
to law, during the month of June,
but there will not be enough money
in the vaults during the month to
meet the payment, and postponement
O. the distribution is inevitable. 1t
will not cause the State any finan-
cial embarrassment, however, as the
money is not needed by the public
schools until the latter part Of the
summer, or just before the opening
cf the scholastic term. Early in July
Gov. Vardaman and Treasurer Mil
Ter will sell the half-million dollar
issue of three and one-half per cent
bonds authorized by the legislature,
and this will tide the State owe the
crisis, it is hoped, until the fall tax
collections commence to arrive. The
June collections at the treasury will
not amount to more than $4,000 or
$4,000, and a great deal more than
this amount will be paid out. A few
inquiries have been received by the
governor and treasurer from capital
lists regarding the bond issue, but
there does not seem to be any great
anxiety on the part Of investors to
capture the issue.

ONE MORE BODY RECOVERED
ran Rodfes Have Been Recovered of
the Fourteen Who Died in the
Peoria DistfIIery Fire.

Peoria, Ill, June S.-One more body,
that of Joseph Zimmerman, was taken
from the ruins of the Corning distillery
Tuesday. The remains were found in a
part of the building where the fire was
most fierce, and there was little OF the
body left.
Identification was made possible by
the fact that Zimmerman's watch was
only partly destroyed, and that his
hammer and lamp with which he had
been searching for leaks in the bar
rels, and which some claim was re-
sponsible for the disaster, were also
found.
Of the IA men who died in the fire,
ten have been recovered.

MAY FREE NAN PATTERSON
No Charge Has Yet Been Placed
Against the Woman.
Lawyers Assert That Papers Under
Which h In Held are Defective
--Prisoncr Visited by Father

New York, June 8.-Lawyers rep
resenting Nan Patterson, the actress,
who has been held in the Tombs pr1s-
on in connection with the mysterious
death Of Caesar Young, a rich book
maker, failed to obtain her release
Tuesday on a suit OF writ of habeas
corpus, but such strong legal objections
were raised to the form of commit
ment papers that Justice Clarke ~an-
bounced he might order the woman
set free as soon as he can look up
the POINTS involved.
1t was stated by her attorneys that
there is no charge against the woman,
and that, in any case, it was unlawful
for the coroner to imprison her for a
crime before an inquest had been held.
John B. Patterson, of Washington,
father of the prisoner, visited her soon
after she was taken back to the Tombs
prison. They sat together in the re-
| ceptiOn-room, and conversed in low
tones for ten minutes. Their CONVEX
sation vas earnest, and several times
the young m wept convulsively.
Her father was plainly affected by her
plight, and as he rose to go he was
heard TO say:
well, in that case I shall stand by
you"
Mr.. Patterson left the prison as his
daughter was led back to her cell,
and as he INT ged on the street he
appeared greatly depressed. When
asked if he had anything to say, Mr..
Patterson replied:
"The less said. the better"
He was joined outside the prison by
two young men, and they departed to-
gether. The grand jury may be asked
to take up the case Wednesday.

The Boil weeviI Quarantine.

The boil wecvil quarantine in Mis-.
sissippi, established by Prof. Glenn
w. Herrick, the State entomologist,
is causing The railroads considerable
worry, owing to the impediments to
traffic from Texas, both on freight
and passenger business.
The Mississippi provisions against
freight carried from the districts of
Texas infected with the boil weevil
are very rigid, and at the urgent
request of the railroads., Prof. Her
rick has modified the restrictions
somewhat, so as not to unnecessarily
hamper traffic. The quarantine
against Texas grain has been amend
ed so far as oats is concerned. This
action was taken in order to pre-
serve the trade between Texas pro-
ducers and Mississippi consumers.
The passenger departments of the
roads entering Mississippi manifest
much uieasiness over the embargo
against hand baggage from the in
fected districts. Section 4 of the
Mississippi quarantine regulations
reads as follows:
mo common carrier, person, firm.
corporation, partnership or associa-
ton shall bring into or carry through
the State of Mississippi any baggage,
bedding, clothing or mattresses
stuffed with corn shuck, hay, straw
or cotton, or any other material liable
to contain the boil weevil, from any
of the counties, parishes or places In
the States of Texas and Louisiana
where the boil weevil may exist"
This provision is giving the pas
senger traffic officials as much worry
as the freight restrictions + giving
the freight officials. 1t is claimed
by the passenger men that the en-
barge against hand baggage is too
severe, and the matter will be taken
up by the officials with the Missis-
sippi authorities. The railroad men
say that they realize the gravity of
importing boil weevils into a non-in-
fected State, but that there is no
likelihood whatever Of the insects be-
ing carried in hand baggage which
contains merely the personal wear
ing apparel Of travellers.

Making Good Headway.

There appears no let-up in the
campaign of Prof. Whitfield for a

the idea is making much progress,
and a large number of the counties
are said to be sure to lengthen their
school terms before the opening OF
