ought to be exposed is equally
true But their transgressions
ought not to be magniiied, even
to prosper u political ambition !;
nor ought their relative impor-
lance be exaggerated, as is done
when those who inveigh against
the corporations seduIously ignore
the same derelictions of private
citizens. The greater evil of this
pharasalc practice is not its inn
mediate consequence, nor even
the deep.seated prejudice which is
thereby engendered in the people;
but it is that people who are con-
stantly taught TO believe that
their ills are due to corporate
greed are apt to forget their own
Individual responsibilities and
come to look to the Government
TO relieve them of the conse-
quenCes OF their own recreance.
We need statesmen who will
preach individualism, who will
regender the old spirit of self-re-
lance; statesmen who, while not
ignoring the predatory tendencies
of corporations, will have the
courage to tell the people that
they themselves are largely to
blame for those things for which
they would penalize corporations.
Corporations are not more eager
to evade the tax assessor than in
divldual citizens are, nor are they
more successful in doing it. They
escape some of the tax burden
which is rightly theirs, undoubt-
edly; but so do private citizens
even the farmers; and if we were
forced to guess which of them is
the more adept in this practice,
we should say, in the language of
the street, that the farmers have
them "beat block"
The Gazette speaks wisely when
it advises the Legislature to tote
fair" Let the members stand
erect like men rather than crawl
like demagogues, and dare to be
fair even to the degree of doing
justice to the corporations.

Different Kind of Eggs.

a New York vegetarian had an
amusing experience the other
morning while at breakfast. His
family was out of town, and he
went to a restaurant and took
seat next to stranger.
The vegetarian took OCCASION
to advertise his creed by telling
the stranger that all meat was in
furious and that the human diet
should be strictly vegetarian.
But" replied the stranger,
81 seldom eat meat"
"Gou Just ordered eggs" said
the vegetarian. Gan egg is prac-
tically meat, because it eventual
ly becomes n bird"
"The kind of eggs l eat never
become BIRDS" answered the
stranger quietly.
Good lIeavens!" cried the
vegetarian, "what kind of eggs
do you eat?"
"Principally boiled eggs" SAID
the stranger.

He had an English passport ana gave

the advice of Mrs Pinkham,

through the advice of Mrs Pinkham,
of Lynn, Mass, which is given to sick
women absolutely free of charge.
Mrs. Pinkham has for many years
made study of the ills of her sex !;
she has consulted with and advised
thousands of suffering women, who
to-day owe not only their health but
even life to her helpful advice.
Mrs. Fannie d. Fox, of Chestnut
Street, Bradford, Pa, writes:
Dear Mrs Pinkham -
81 suffered for long time with womb
trouble, and finally was told by my physician
that had a tumor on the womb. / did not
want to submit to an operation, so wrote you
for advice. | received your letter and did as
you told me, and to-day am completely
cured My doctor says the tumor has disap-
peared, and / am once more well woman.
believe Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is the best medicine in the world for
women"
The testimonials which we are con-
stantlypublishing from grateful women
establish beyond doubt the power of
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound to conquer female diseases.
Women suffering from any form of
female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs.
Pinkham. at Lynn, Mass. She asks
nothing in return for her advice. 1t is
absolutely free, and to thousands of
women has proved to be more precious
than gold.

ToIstoi Upbraids Governments.

Count Tolstoi of Russia, In a let
ter to the London Times, says that
he regards not only the Russian gov
eminent, but all governments, as IN
tricate institutions, sanctified by ira
dition and custom for the purpose OF
committing by violence and with I'M
punity the most dreadful social
crimes" He says that in America
France, Germany, Japan and Eng
land the pernicious character Of the
governments is so marked that those
belonging to those nations point to
events in Russia and naively imagine
what is done in Russia Is done only
in Russia while they enjoy complete
freedom and need no improvement
of their positions. But" he adds,
they are in the most helpless state
of slavery--the slavery of slaves VINO
do not understand that they are
slaves and pride themselves on their
positions as slaves The fact Is that
every coercive government is in the
a great and unnecessary evil.
the aim both OF the Rus
slams and of all men should not be
to replace one form of government
by another, but to free themselves
from every government to abolish

Charles j. Field. alias Beauchamp.

charge of fraudulent use Of the malls.
He advertised that the Acme Supply
company would pay $50 thousand to
persons addressing envelopes. each
person being required to send 81 as
a guarantee of good faith, In return
for which fountain pen would be
sent. After this was received by the
company the would-be employees
were informed that money would be
paid only for such envelopes as were
returned to the company containing
another dollar with request for
employment. This created an end
less chain scheme and the postal de-
partment issued fraud order. Fields
& Co. was organized later by Beau
champ. The offer In this case was
10 sell five hundred envelopes with n
personal card In the corner for $3.50.
For every such envelope returned to
the company containing an order for
five hundred envelopes the company

Mrs. Chadwick Found Guilty.

Mrs. Cassie l.. Chadwick was found
guilty at Cleveland, o., Saturday
night, March IL, of conspiring to de-
fraud the United States by conspir-
ing TO produce the certification of
checks on a national bank when
there were no funds in the bank TO
her credit. She was found guilty on
every count of the indictment upon
which the jury was at liberty to
judge her-seven in all. The orig
inal indictment contained 16 counts.
Two of these We're ruled out during
the trial, and of the remaining A.
one-half charged her with securing
the certification of checks without
having the proper entries made upon
the books of the bank. Judge Tayler,
in his charge, directed the jury to
disregard these counts and consider
only the remaining seven, which re-
lated to the certification with no
funds on deposit Under the law
she can be fined on each count not
more than $4,000 or imprisonment
not more than two years on each
count, or she may be fined maxi
mum of $4,000 and also imprisoned
for two years on each count. Mrs.
counsel have moved for a
new trial.

Japanese Occupy Mukden.

The japanese army Friday, March
| 10, occupied Mukden, the capital of
Manchuria, which Gen. Kuropatkin
has been defending in a desperate
battle that has lasted nearly two
weeks, and many prisoners, together
with an immense quantity of spoils of
war, fell into its hands. The rem
nant of the Russian army began Il
retreat to Tie Pass Thursday March
9, The retreat was hampered by a
terrible dust storm from the north
and by attacks from the japanese
but Notwithstanding difficulties, 1t
was conducted with astonishing pre-
cision, due to the personal efforts of
Gen. Kuropatkin. Before the retreat
all buildings and stores that could be
of benefit to the Japanese were set
on fire. All railroad rolling stock was
taken away. About 1900 severely
wounded Russians and several hun
dred japanese were left in Mukden
hospitals, together with a complete
Russian medical staff, which was in
trusted to the care of the chivalrous
Japanese. The remainder of the
wounded in hospitals were sent north
ward and railroad train remained
behind almost with the rear guard
and brought off trainload of those
wounded in the retreat.
The cause of the Mukden defeat is
attributed to many reasons, one of
the most important of which is insult
ficient information concerning the
Japanese and their strength, which
was far in excess of Russian calcula-
tons. The losses in this defeat
which is the most bitter yet expert
enced by the Russian army, by
moderate computation are not less
than 100000 men on both sides.
The Russian generals feat in ex-
Treating the remnants of his army
from a position which seemed to
either humiliation or sur
render is considered the most MASTER
y ever executed. He accomplished ii
by sending his artillery north early
Thursday, then destroying what
'ould not be removed and then order
ng the retreat Friday morning.
strong forces protecting rear and
tanks.
1t is now reported that fresh jap
nese troops are closing in on the re-
reating army and it is uncertain
whether the Russians will have time
o reorganiZe in Tie Pass before the /
japanese attack. If not, the retreat /
will have to be continued toward /
iarbin. If the bulk of the Russian |
rmy escapes, the war promises to |
o on Indefinitely.
