ELECTRIC CAR LINES.

roads over public highways. ri isn't

The country roads belong to the peo-

accidents or pay frequent damages. as
is the case when they run over pub
lie highways. It is a great incon-
venience TO a farmer for him to drive
several miles out Of his direct route
TO town or to market in order to avoid
electric roads. Farmers also are taxed

The cash system would be the better

fixed as to have but little variation,
and all seasons productive nearly

and share rent in some form is usually
the choice Of the tenant, and is very
generally accepted by the owners.
Usually the tenant agrees 10 pay in

No pessimistic reports are at hand re-
garding the progress of the new tobacco
crop. In New England rains have prov
ed sufficiently abundant to keep the
young plants vigorous, and at the same
time the weather was warm enough to
encourage growth. Transplanting to all
intents and purposes is thing of the
past Hoeing is now occupying the at
tention of growers. More or less COM

done by cut worms. In various sections
of both Massachusetts, and Connecticut
advices claim that worms are more both
ersome this year than ever before. Paris
green mixture is being used, and here
and there growers have tried the expert
ment of using turpentine in conjunction
with water at the time of setting out.
Some damage is reported where the last
named mixture was applied too freely.
In sections outside of New England
the newly planted crop has secured
fairly satisfactory start. An abundance
of moisture has proved the rule in the

Fearless and Iudenendent

The Chicago Record Herald is a con-
spicuous example of the success with
which the public rewards fearless non
partisanship in the columns of a great
metropolitan daily paper. It is an inde-
pendent newspaper. in which men and
measures are invariably viewed wholly
from the standpoint of public good, and
not from that of the interest of any par
ticular political party. 1t is the very re-
verse of neutral fearless and outspoken
on all the great questions of the day,
but presenting it's editorial opinion upon
independent judgment and entirely re-
gardless of political affiliations. Parti-
sanship is barred as strictly from the
news columns as from the editorial page.
All political news is given without parti-
san coloring, thus enabling the reader to
form correct conclusions for himself. In
the ordinary partisan newspaper polite
al news is usually colored to such an
extent as to make it difficult if not i'm
possible for the reader to secure sound
basis for intelligent judgment.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGKRToN, WIS, July 7. 1905.


Little has occurred to change the con-
ditions prevailing in local markets since
last report. A summers quietude has
settled down upon the business gener-
ally with few scattering transactions to
relieve the monotony.
While there is something moving
among packers all the time, business is
by no means lively, though fairly decent
profits can be secured when trades are
effected. Ell. w. Child sold about 5OOcs
of low grade '04 to M. Michealis of Ian
caster during the week. S. @. Cham
bers sold 59cs of '03 to an eastern manu-
facturer and A. Wallach of Chicago has
picked up about 100 cases of old leaf in
this market.
The weather continues especially fav-
able for the new crop just transplant
ed, which is now coming along as salts
factorily as could be desired. There is
almost perfect stand in the fields and
conditions could hardly be improved
upon.
The shipments out of storage continue
at low ebb, only few car loads for the
week to all points.

Owing partly to the fact that next
week most of the factories will be shut
down for stock taking, the week just
ending has been devoid of interest in the
cigar leaf market. In the domestic types
no transactions of note have occurred,
and attention is centered upon the COM
ing crop now going through the sweat.
Florida leaf continues to come to the
'front.' partly because of the high prices
that are demanded for the more stand
ard tobaccos.
Sumatra.-Some deals are pending in
the new Sumatra. The manufacturers
have not entirely gotten over the feeling
that the present years output in this
type is not one upon which they can
make money, and hence are very eau
tious in investing. However, they must
have tobacco if they continue to make
cigars, and more activity is expected a
little later.

of permanent detriment, however, as it

Atty Gen. Sturdevant says that he be-
lieved that the new anti-cigarette bill,
which went into force last Saturday,
prohibited any one from having cigar
cites in his possession for his own per-
sonal use. The opinion was unofficial
"It seems to me that the language of the
law clearly prohibits any person from
having in his possession for his own use
any cigarette, cigarette paper or cigar
cite tobacco, said he. "The language
used, as | recall it, is make, keep or have
any of these prohibited articles. The
word keep would seem to me to mean
to have possession of for ones own use
or some ones else. It seems to me that
practically the same point has been re-
peatedly passed upon in cases growing
out of laws prohibiting the possession or
keeping of liquor" The attorney gener-
al said that he had not been asked for
an official Interpretation of the new law,
but he thought that the best way to de-
termine the controverted points would
be to bring a test case and carry it to
the highest court.

NEW YORK. July l, 1905

NEW YORK, July l, 1905.
For once quiet week. The season
running into the dog days, the languid
air OF the habitual vacation enshrouds
the market. Everybody seems to be on
the jump for an open-air enjoyment of
the three holidays which have been de-
creed for the beginning of the next week.
Not even then stirring events are ex-
pected to strike the market. Not until
the beginning of August when probably
the first samples of the New England
crop will make their appearance. But
when that event arrives look out for a
cyclone of excitement. In the mean
while trading will remain in abeyance
broken only by the necessary routine
business. The trade deserves a few
weeks rest, both for it's past labors and
the prospective work.
On the whole the situation of the ci-
gar industry may be called encouraging.
Nothing like a boom prevails and there
have been periods during the year when
trade was brisker. The demand, how
ever, is better than usua! this season,
very much better than last year, and
there is little, it any, sign of the usual
midsummer slackness. Thus the aus
pices under which July enters are favor
able. June was pretty lively month,
and most of the larger manufacturers
declare that they have orders to keep
them busy for the next four weeks at
least. There are grounds, then, for hope
that this year July will fail to justify its
reputation for ness.-Journal

The market remains quiet with but
very little old tobacco remaining in the
growers hands. Transplanting contin-
ues and large proportion of the grow
ers have finished setting out the new

last season.

The internal revenue receipts for the
month of May throughout the country
show considerable increases in the out
put of every branch of the trade indus
tries with the exception of manufactured
tobacco the increase in the output of
large cigars amounting to 25,198,907 in a
total output of 594, ,292, ,307 against total
output of 569,O93, 400 in May, 1904. The
most surprising feature of these figures
is the extraordinary increase in cigar
cites in spite of their consumption being
