have any meat at all on their tables.
A criminal prosecution against the
gang of despicable thieves, or even
an intimation from Roosevelt that
such prosecution would be begun
would overthrow that trust in a week
but Roosevelt has done nothing. The
injunction proceedings which he Or
dered were welcomed by the trust
and were not even antagonized in the
courts.
The prosecution of the Northern
Pacific Securities company, as every
one in New York knows, was brought
about by quarrel between Hartman
and Hill. The editorials that ap-
peared in the republican papers in
Tie tier of states that started the row
were written in Harriman's Office and
by his orders That disagreement has
been settled and whatever the Geci-
sion of the supreme court may be,
the thing will remain as it now is. A
distinguished attorney in New YORK,
who has been engaged in that case,
told the writer that papers were al
ready drawn to form voting trust
that would accomplish the same OBJ
ject aimed at in the formation of the
securities company and would be
signed and put in operation lmme-
diately, if the suit went against them.
That there has been some objec-
ton to Roosevelt among the twenty
pirates of Wall street who rule this
country is true, but it does not rest
upon anything that Roosevelt has
done or is likely to do against the
trusts or money power. 1t came about
from a purely personal matter in
which one of these millionaire pirates
was insulted purposely by Roosevelt
and who sWOre vengeance against
Roosevelt for that reason. While in
that personal encounter Roosevelt
was entirely in the right, that mag
nate will not do anything that would
endanger his enormous railroad prop
critics and Roosevelt will not do any
thing that Will adversely affect The
great money power. The Wall street
objection to Roosevelt has nothing to
do with trusts, corporations Oh money.
Wall street is playing this game
with Roosevelt just as the railroads
in this state are playing it with
Mickey. They want to keep the dis
satisfied republicans in line. The
trusts are not to be interfered with.
the exactions of the money power are
20 endure, the railroads are still to
govern Nebraska and the stote dent
IS to be increased. All that is to be
accomplished : by making the stupid
voter believe that the way to fight
Wall street, the trusts and the rail-
roads is to vote for Roosevelt and
Mickey. The republicans have bet on
stupidity for the last thirty years and
won out every time, out they are
playing the game so boldly this time
that there Is possibility that they
may lose.

Beware of CounterFeits,

"DeWitt's is the only genuine Witch
Hazel Salve'' writes J. l.. Tucker, of
Centre, Ala. Il have used it in my
family for Piles, Cuts aud Burns for
years and can recommend it to be the
best Salve on the market Every family
should keep it, as it is an invaluable
household remedy, and should always
be kept on hand for immediate use."
Mrs. Samuel Gage, of North Bush, N.
Y. says: 81 had fever sore on my an
kle for twelve years that the doctors
could not cure. All salves and blood
remedies proved worthless. I could
rot walk for over two years. Finally
I was persuaded to try DeWitt's Witch
Hazel Salve, which has completely
cured me. It is a wonderful relief"

DOWN LIKE SHOT
NEAR TO 7 CENTS.
A Fearful Plunge Follows
Report.
FIFTY POINTS is THE DECLINE
Cotton Holders Were Stunned BY the
Terrible Drop in Values - Bureau
Report Indicates a Crop of More
Than 100000.

Twelve million, one hundred and
sixty-two thousand bales That was
the Government estimate of the cotton
crop as published yesterday, and the
announcement fell with stunning effect
upon the market and the many who
still held their cotton bales.
Down, down, down went values I'M
der the terrible weight of twelve mil
lion bales cotton.
The publication of the report was
eagerly awaited among Americas cotton
men, but few here were prepared for
such a liberal estimate of the crop as
was made.
A sheer drop of fifty points, or full
half cent, followed the report. Janu-
airy contracts tumbled from about 8 so
down to near the eight cents point.
Still rapidly itmelted away even below
that figure, and buyers think the end
is not in sight.
And spot cotton, of course, tumbled
in like proportion.
80 rapidly did values melt away that
middling cotton here fell to about Y
cents probably to y cents, as the
market was much demoralized for a
time, with little demand upon the part
of buyers. Many look for even lower
markell few points off-Monday.
The decline within the past two or
three weeks has been 200 points. or
quite $40 per bale.
Ten days ago, even, good cotton sold
here for 8! cents, as against y cents
yesterday. This means great loss to
the farmers here, many of whom are
still holding every bale made this year.
Some hold from $50 bales, down to the
holder of dozen bales.
The drop in values will cost the far
mers of Sumter alone many thousands
of dollars.
