The Poor Mans Luxury.

Our dutiable imports in the fiscal
year just ended amounted to nearly
seven hundred million dollars, and
about twenty-five per cent OF them
were classed by the Treasury Depart
ment as luXuries.
The high tariff, as we know from
the mouths of the gentlemen who
constructed and maintain it, is a
philanthropic device for raising the
revenues Of the government by TAX
ing the luxuries of the rich. But it
is the signal misfortune of this benev-
olent scheme that it will never work
out right when you take a pencil and
paper and reduce its splendid general
tiles to arithmetical terms.
Probably the plan was sound in
theory, but the rich, who are often
lacking in public spirit, defeat its
benefcent intentions by refusing to
import as much as they ought Of
the highly-taxed luxuries. The i'm
ports of manufactured and partly
manufactured articles, other than
luxuries, amounted to more than
double the imports Of luxuries- not
outstanding the fearful discourage
ment which the tariff erects in the
the way Of such imports in it's eff
fort to keep the home market unde-
filed for our own trusts.
Our exports of manufactures in the
fiscal year amounted to six hundred
millions, which IS not a bad showing
in the worlds trade for infant indus
tries. When it is recalled that the
manufactured articles which we ex-
port are but a small per cent of what
we use at home-the gross sales OF a
single highly-protected industrial
having, last year, amounted to about
five hundred millions-and that the
price of what we use at home is de-
cidedly affected by the tariff, 1T looks
as though we were paying a rather
tall premium for the privilege of tax
ing the luxuries of the rich. If a
laboring man has to pay seven dol
lars in order to levy a tax Of one dol
lar on a p%lutocrat's bottle of wine it
would seem to be a luxury which he
can hardly afford.

Canton-BerestOrd Auto Record,

The enthusiastic BeresfOrd auto
drivers have been making some ex-
ceedingly fast time between Beresford
and Canton, and when they arrive
here and turn down Fifth Street
towards the Rudolph they toot their
tooters and sit back with heads erect
with a smile that says, ''look at u.s.
we came owe to your autoless town
on a canter in an hour and thirty min
utes. just watch our dust you Can
ton dudes but don't try to follow US,
then with a few more hot air honkS
they stop in front of the Rudolph
and escort their ladies into dinner.
The Canton buggy drivers and bike
pushers stood this thing for 10 these
many months, until W.. R. Storie,
superintendent of the electric light
plant, bought a big Rambler. Then
the Canton boys served notice on
their Beresford friends that they had
better look a leetle out and waited
for results.
On top of the warning no less than
six autos came over from BeresfOrd
one day and were parked in front of
the Rudolph as a gentle reminder to
the Canton boys that they were not
in their class.
Bro. Storie is not much or the
fancy hurrah order and has little
time to go out and shake brooms at
other towns but last Sunday he was
called on by a party of four to take
them out for a ride. The trip includ-
ed Fairview, Hudson, Hawarden,
Alcester and Beresford, and when
Canton's big Rambler rolled into
Beresford with brooms and the tooter
footing the Beresford boys realized
that Canton would take their dust no
more.
Beresford's best time to Canton up
to date has been one hour and thirty
minutes and as Mr.. Storie headed his
machine for home he remarked to
Carl Tank that he would make a re-
cord for the Beresford boys that would
keep them busy for some time. With
a goodbye loot to Beresford the Can
ton machine was given a chance to
get home in a hurry, and covered the
25 miles in one hour and fifteen min
utes, including stops and slowups for
frightened teams. When the roads
were good the Rambler rambled along
at 40 mile speed, and came into Can
ton Is minutes faster than the best
time heretofore made by the Beresford
speeders. Mr.. Storie says Beresford
may try or even beat the new record ,
but if they do he will give them some
thing better-something that will
make them tired for a long time.
The party consisted of Herman Rich
ter, Carl Tank, E. A. Stowell, and
William Tank with Mr.. Storie at the
| throttle.

Barn Burned by Lightning.

During the storm last Friday ven
ing a bolt Of lightning struck Baltz
Schmidt's fine barn down in Pleasant
township, destroying the structure
with one horse and IS tons of hay.
Had it been an hour later the loss OF
stock would have been heavy, as his
herd was getting ready to go inside
as Mr.. Schmidt houses his cattle sum-
mer and winter. The loss IN the
barn, hay and horse will approximate
1880, while Mr.. Schmidt carried
$3.50 insurance on the barn and con
tents in the Lincoln County Farmers
Mutual Insurance Co. Several head
of stock and a number of horses were
driven from the barn after the fire
was discovered.

OPERATIONS IN M1NDANAo.
Gen. Wood Reports Assistance Rem
dered by Auxiliary Forces.

In discussing the operations In the de-
partment of Mindanao. Gen. Wood who
commanded that department until last
April, has the following to say concerning
the assistance rendered the army by the
auxiliary forces:
There has been much less service per-
formed by the smaller naval vessels in the
waters of the department during the last
year than during the preceding two years.
naval detachment. however. took a very
conspicuous and gallant part in the opera
tons at Mount Dajo and rendered services
highly creditable to them and to the navy.
THE constabulary have been on duty on
several occasions in conjunction with troops.
They performed most gallant and efficient
service during the assault on Mount Dajo,.
and earned the commentator and respect
of the troops with whom they were assoc-
ated. The organization is a good one, and
considering the short time ii has been Or
ganized and the service it is called upon to
perform, its showing is excellent.
The scouts have rendered excellent serv-
ice during the year and their duties have
largely been at isolated points where work
has been monotonous and often uninterest-
ing. The discipline of the companies has
been very good and they have maintained
their reputation as very efficient and VAL
liable body of native troops.
