FREAK LEGISLATION.

The legislature Of Louisiana is on the
eve of an awful eruption. Some old
rooster down there has introduced bill
to regulate marriages, aiming to pre-
vent race suicide, and one of the pro-
visions of the bill is that it shall be I'M
lawful for any man to spark fair
damsel in that state before he is twenty
four years of age.
That bill ought to admit Of as wide
discussion as any that has been up in
the legislature for some time. The
legislator in whom the literary microbe
is at work will rail at the cold-blooded
sc0undrel for attempting to despoil the
romance of youth; the scientist will
point to Dorothy Dix's, or some other
philosophy on matrimony, to prove that
early marriage is the surest guarantee
to happiness and escape from divorce
court. But if there is any show for the
bill to become law, the hard headed
capitalist will not be found on the firing
line at all, if the commercial spirit has
taken hold of the Louisiana legislator
as it has some of his northerx brothers;
he will be out on the border of the state
skirmishing' for options on promising
sites for summer hotels, where the city
chap and his dolly dove, sitting just
over the line, can wave defiance to the
one who would enforce the freak law.
Seriously, the News would bet two
bits to jack rabbit and catch the jack
rabbit himself that the author of
that bill kicks the pet cat when he first
gets up in the morning and cusses his
wife for making so much racket wher
she was building a fire. He probably
has nice lawn and for keeping it ir
order pays Rastus 10 cents a week and
gets him to take it out in old boots
The neighbours daughter and her beat
find it pleasure and convenient to sit
on the terrace little way back from
the street light, bat their cooling annoy.
the old chap.
If Louisiana adopts that bill as law
it's sure sign the state is looking fol
trouble, and it will get more of if thai
the city of Dallas (Texas) did yea

went for naught, and in their despera-
ton the packer kings attempted to
prove presence of philanthropic tend
ency in their circle. "Ain't we,' they
cried, land with considerable asperity
in their tones, we may SUPPOSED "shown
belief in animal and meat inspection by
shouldering an annual loss of approx
niately 81, 900, 900 on animals that are
bought as healthy and condemned on in
spection after Slaughter" This simple
interrogation a3ailed them nothing, and
next we see the desperate gang taking
a long run and jump for safety behind
the statement that the expose puts
weapons into the hands of foreign COM
p'etitors of the American livestock and
meat industry.
This citation of the packers was
center shot. The past several days
vigorous protests on the methods of the
expose have come to the president and
congress from the live stock centers of
the country. Meanwhile the president
has the "pig's tail" under the gate and
the porker exhibits a disposition to
make all sorts of amends. The great
consuming ambition to add another dol
lar to the Golfer of the trust has given
way to the campaign of cleanliness and
decency, and in all the establishments
alterations are being made to suit the
tastes of the patrons.
The statements of the trust, that the
will work hardship on
Americas live stock industry, is too i'm
portant to be. overlooked by one who
would give the subject careful considera-
ton. But if from the shakeup the
packers learn a few principles of
Hdecency that can be applied to their
business the problem of getting Germ
any and some other nations on our list
as meat customers might not be so diff
ficult. The immediate effect is sure to
be bad but financial gain win be ours
in the long run, and then. too, if that
waste rope, the cartilage, the hair, the
hoofs and horns and other debris can be
eliminated from the food supply there is
fair chance that some other scientist
won't be carrying your appendix around
in bottle and telling what difficult
operation it was.

IT SAVES THE GOLD
(Continuhd from page y

CONTINUED from page y
This, the writer was told by the
manager of big western placer
mine, of a hole in his race, four
feet wide, ten feet long and five,
feet deep, that each season filled
with gravel, sand and boulders.
All Of Of the sluicewater and pipe
clays. from the diggings flowed
through Or over this hole, From
all appearances it was supposed
that it caught much gold, and it
was cleaned out each season with
extreme care. This was done for
six years, and scarcely one dollar
in metal was found in the hole.
There was gold below it and
above it, but never in the hole.
1t was because the water boiled
through it, and gave the metal
no change to settle.
The rifle that pays best, that
saves the greatest amount of
gold, coarse and fine, that saves
the platinum and black sand, is
the horizontal pole or iron-strap-
ped scantling. The latter is the
best, in that it stands the wear
and tear better. 1t is made by
setting 2x4 scantlings edgewise
on the bottom of the sluice floor,
beveling the bottom edge so that
it will tilt just a little. On the
top edge a three-eighths strap
iron is bolted. This strap iron is
slightly wider than the scantling,
and projects about quarter of
an inch over each side. The
scantlings set about two inchas
apart. They will not clog, but
clean themselves. The small
rocks that fall between the scant-
ling are of material assistance in
holding the fine gold and plati-
mum. The rifles are made in ~
foot sections, to fit each section
of sluice, and are easily lifted
and rinsed at cleanup time.

The Hosel fremont at Sites, is
using an artistic menu card made
on a Monograph, the work of
Lisle Hopkins, one of the proprie-
tors. While it is pretty hard for
a. newspaper to say a good word
for anything that is in direct OPP
position to the print shop we
must admit that this is an astistic
piece of work. The fremont is
a good hotel, managed by good
people and deserves the liberal

Farmers VIII suffer.
REPUBLICAN BEEF SCANDAL WILL
CAUSE FALL IN PRICES.

REPUBLICAN BEEF SCANDAL WILL
CAUSE FALL IN PRICES.
AS the price of cattle and corn de-
creases, in consequence Of publish.
fishing to the world the depravity
of the packers, the farmers will
have good cause of complaint against
the Administration. The people
have been taxed for years to pay for
a cattle and beef inspection bureau
that has evidently shirked it's work
and the Republican politicians who
have had charge Of it are either in
competent or have been induced by
the BeefTrust tooverlook depravity.
There should bean amendmentadop-
ted 70 the meat inspection law, that
all that all those found guilty OF low
inspection, or those convicted OF
packing diseased meat, or in filthy
condition, should beimprisoned with
with diet of embalmed beef and
their cells kept in the same condi-
ton as they allowed the packing
house TO be in.
The public who are compelled to
use packing house products, care
but little or nothing about the in
temperate controversy between Con-
gresham Wordsworth and his Com
mittee on Agriculture and the Pre-
sident. What the people want Is
safe and sane inspection that
they have been taxed 10 pay for, but
that evidently the Agricultural De-
partment has not provided, although
having regiment of experts and
inspectors on it's pay rolls for that
purpose for years past. Gen. Miles
warned the executive departments
during the Spanish war that our
beef inspection was farce but the
Packers aud the Agricultural De-
partment we're whitewashed and
Gen. Miles was virtually punished
for doing his duty.
There can be no excuse, by those
in authority, for this scandal, which
has about ruined our export meat
business and will fall heavily on the
stock growers and farmers, by de-
creased demand for corn and cattle
and its accompanying fall in prices.
Unfortunately Democratic farmers
who have voted to turn the rascaIs
out must suffer with Republican
