Eliminating Trade BlaCkmail.

Commissions" to the purchasing
agents of great stores, manufac-
tories. and residences-they are
really nothing less than concessions
to biaeImail-mark the trade OF
practically every city in the world.
Wherever there are buffers and sup
ply clerks there are also leUes
against the provision dealers and
supply houses.
These taxes are invariably added
10 the price the user must pay; Tor
no merchant could continue long in
trade by deducting them from prices
fixed by competition and maintained
az a fair market rate. Yet they
continue with only occasional rum
blinps on the part of the employ
ers. who are the real victims, and
grim ncQuiescence on the part of
the dealers.
Over in Germany. i'm Berlin, ac-
cording to Consul General Guenther,
a department store has found "a
means of protecting itself from this
practice. Incidentally. there is some
protection i'm the operation for the
printing Office involved, though it
probably did not appear to that
party to the transaction until seen
in the light of cool afterthought.
The last consular report tells the
story in this way;
4 printing establishment AT Berlin
had regularly received the printing for
a Berlin department store, and hau pald
10 the clerk who had the ordering OF
such work about 81 per month. Inc
clerk was discharged and the depart
ment store sued the printer for dam
ages. The suit was appealed three times
and now the decision has been given
that the printing establishment has 20

\ little resolution of the same
sort in America. and in that part
of America which is known as the
District of Columbia, would work a
great upIift in the morals Of our
trade. The whole transaction of
paving commissions" is degrading
to everybody concerned in il. 1t
makes the merchant cheat by pre-
tending to sell at one price and
actually charging another. 1t en-
courages the agent, whether a
household servant or the buyer for
a mammoth industry. in deliberate
and continued breach of trust 10
his employer.
Yet determination like that of the
Berlin department store can elimin-
ate it. In that part of Germany no
other supply house is likely TO add
any commissions" TO the prices il
quotes that firm, and the power of
the buye- in this issue is far less
than that of the seller. If the sup
ply houses were once aroused to
stop this abuse they could do 50
easily, by the simple means of CO.
operating to deny everybody com
missions. If the purchasers and
merchants could once all be brought
together, in a city like Washington,
there would be a fine hOuse-cleaning
OF dishonest servants and rascally
purchasing agents.

When Funston Takes Command

ThereIl be welshing mid the rebels
And the Liberals will squeal-
Not a breeze will stir the banners
Nor a Cuban fash his steel
Theren be sorrow in the laughter
And a dirge played by the band
All the island soft as satin
When F. Funston takes command.
He'll translate the Platt amendment
In a military style, =
And he'll show that Intervention
Can't be thwarted by mile.
He will make the revolution
Look like babies on the sand
There1l be something heavy doing
When f. Funston takes command.
There will be no hot palaver,
Nor a lot of smirks and bows,
For he always finds his cattle
When he's sent out for the COWS;
Good-by to the airy promise!
Farewell to the slick glad hand!
Au revoir to vain pretenses
When F. Funston takes command.

Negro Shoots at 0ranssburs Officer While he

ORANGEBURG, November 27.-Po-
ieceman w. L. Douglass had a close
call on Saturday afternoon, which
was not due to his hazardous duties
as q policeman. He was out in his
boat on the Edisto river, along with
Mrs. Douglass, and had just reached
the bridge crossing the river when
he was shot at several times by a
negro. 1t seems that several negroes
were going over into the "Fork" in
a wagon, and one of the negroes
fred several times in the direction Of
Mr.. Douglass. One of the balls
passed through the hat of Mr.. Doug
lass. Naturally Mrs. Douglass was
very much frightened, and Mr.. Doug.
lass drew his gun and fired several
times at the party of negroes. One
Of the negroes was slight ly wounded,
but he succeeded in getting away at
the time. It was ascertained that
John Chisolm was the negro who had
done the shooting, and he was ar
rested today in Orangeburg. He is
now in the tolls of the law.

The State newspaper jumps on us
on>account of our paragraph as to
the contests of the negro Dantzler
and his negro lawyer Of Orangeburg,
who keep up the farce Of contesting
the seat of Mr.. Lever in congress.
The State intimates that the editor
of,this paper is foolish, which is en-
tirely gratuitous,, unkind and un-
called for. We believe we have the
right to an opinion, the editor of The
State to the contrary notwithstand-
ing, and we have no quarrel with
those who disagree with us. Certain
it is that we do not claim to know it
all and put down all as fools who do
not think our way. The State
remedy for stopping these contests
is good, but it is about as hard to get
water to run up hill as to get our
people to vote anything like our full
strength at general election. We
think our remedy decidedly more
practical.

The complexion of congress, based
on the recent election, will be altered
somewhat in favor of the Democrats
in the House of Representatives and
to the advantage Of the Republicans
in the Senate. The House of Repre-
sentatives in the sixtieth congress
will comprise 223 Republicans and 163
Democrats, las compared with 25O
Republicans and 1876 Democrats in the
preceding house, a net Democratic
gain of % members. This will give
the Republicans a majority OF 60
members as compared with ia in the
fifty-ninth congress. On the other
hand, the Republicans will probably
gain three senators, and the align
ment of forces in the chamber will
stand 81 Republicans to 20 Demo-
Gratis. Republican leaders in con,
gress profess to be entirely satisfied
with the outcome, as it is certain
that they will have a compact and
workable margin of votes in both
House and Senate under all concelv-
able circumstances.

ROping Cattle on Range.

Complaint is made by cattlemen-
and justly so-of the injury resulting
to the interests of cattle owners
from steer tying contests; common in
the cattle growing districts. The
ambition of the average cowboy to
excel in throwing the lariat, leads
them to improve every opportunity
for practice, and the roping of cattle
on the open range thus becomes a
favorite pastime with many of them,
greatly to the injury of the cattle
and financial loss of the owners.
frequently cattle are killed or
MANNED in these practice bouts, and
it is safe to say that the losses an
nually sustained by cattle owners
from this cause aggregate many
hundreds of dollars.
Very often the injuries to animals
which have been roped and thrown
are not apparent until they have
gone to the slaughter house and
their carcasses have been dressed for
market.
y 0lODC DClI ISpOI ISI WdS ISCSuIly
called into butcher shop at that
place and shown the carcass of a
fine steer so covered with bruises as
to render it wholly unfit for use and
a total loss to the owner. These
injuries, caused by the steer being
roped and thrown, were not notice
able until the animal had been killed
and the hide removed.
This evil of roping cattle for sport
on the open range is one that is hard
to remedy, because of the difficulty
of detecting the offender and obtain
ing redress However, local cattle
owners have been aroused and are
determined to put stop to the vici-
GUS practice. The agitation no doubt
will result in an effort to secure
legislation at the next session of the
territorial legislature that will pro-
vide adequate punishment for the Of
fence.

The Queen Copper Mining company
is the latest organization in Globe
district It's incorporators are J. H.
Thompson, j. w. BanGauer and w.
D. Fisk. The company is organized
for the purpose of taking over and
operating the old Silver Queen prop
erty, which adjoins the Lake Su-
perior and Arizona, now being worked
by F. L. Seebold. The Silver Queen
property was worked years ago, but
when the price of silver fell the
property was abandoned. At that
time no attention was paid to copper,
which appeared quite abundantly on
the property. The old shaft had OBJ
tanned a depth of 400 feet, at the
bottom of which there is considera-
BILE copper. The new company, under
the direction of Mr.. Fisk, will at
once commence development on a
large scale and if indications amount
to anything it is likely that Globe
will add another shipper to its list in
the future.
