lions of "cornering" commodities. This
applies particularly to those products
which are considered necessities of
life, such as grain and its products,
bread, meat, wine, vegetables, fruit,
butter, vinegar, coal, wool, silk, etc.
Any "cornering" of such articles is a
criminal offense in France. It has been
so, with varying forms of penalties
dealt out, since 1893. The offense has
been made so broad and sweeping that
1t now includes all persons who de-
stroy or permit to perish merchandise
Of prime necessity, whether it is their
property or not
The criminal code prohibits mani
pulations tending to bring about an
advance or fall In price that is not
warranted by the law of supply and
demand, The law does not include
tobacco, of course, for tobacco is a
government monopoly and controlled
absolutely by It. The punishment met
ed out to the violators of this law con-
sists Of both imprisonment and fine,
the term and amount being measured
by the magnitude of the offense. In
addition to this the offending manu-
facturer, merchant, or manipulation has
his factory or business establishment
placed under police supervision, the ex
pense Of which he pays for from two to
five years There is no more trouble
in handling offending corporations
than individuals. Every director OF

Ipenalty is so severe that it would re.

any establishment.

HOUSE FOR FREE SEEDS.
LOWER BRANCH OF NATIONAL
LEGISLATURE PASSES THIS
APPROPRIATIONS.

Members OF Congress ''Eiaze'' OPP
pOnents Of Free Seeds.-COnfusiOn
Precedes Final Vote on BiIl..-Agri-
cultural OratOry.
When the House Of Representatives
took up the agricultural appropriation
bill, quite a discussion arose over the
elimination of the usual free seed item
by the committee on agriculture. The
House gave to the country during the
days Of debate, a spectacle that else
where than on the floor of that parlia-
mentary body, would have been known
as trough house."
There was a great tendency to
"haze" members when they spoke In
defense Of the action of the committee.
Much was said about the attempt to
strike down the Woodworking farmer
and take from him that helping hand
Ia the shape. of free seeds which had
been held out to him for SO many
years.
None of the advocates Of free seeds
emphasized the fact that the total val
ne Of the package containing five
small packets which forms the quota
sent to each farmer cost the govern
ment a cents, and that each member
had the enormous sum Of $3.50 worth
Of these seeds to distribute among his
entire constituency. The arguments
advanced sought to prove that the
withdrawal of this subsidy of less than
2 cents to each farmer would drive the
entire agricultural voting strength OF
the country into bankruptcy.
ELoQUENCE ON TAP.
Some Of the speeches made will &c
rolling down the corridors of time
as specimens OF that matchless elo
quence always on tap in the House Of
Representatives when a great nationa
issue Is up for consideration.
Mr.. Henry, of Connecticut, submit
ted innumerable letters from his con
stituents and from organized oranges
urging the adjustment of the free-see(
practice. Mr.. Mondell, of Wyoming
delivered himself Of a humorous
speech in which he poked fun at th'
Department. Mr.. Burleson, OF Texas
opposed free seeds because ne did no
believe the intelligent farmers OF tht
country expected the government tt
aid them in lAeir business. Farmers
under all circumstances, he said, haC
supported the government and nevel
expected the government to supper
them.
Mr.. Burleson paid his respects
rather sarcastically, to certain mem
bers who advocated free seeds on th'
floor and then in the cloak rooms
sneered at the "Reubens" and "hay
seeds" who demanded them. Mr.. Bur

MEMORIAL DAY.

No memorial day, or Decoration
Day, as it is more generally known,
has ever come around, since after
the institution of the observance, more
than thirty-fve years ago, when a
better state Of feeling existed between
the North and South. and between
the men who fought in the war, than
now. There has been a decided ten
dency this year to all sorts of Blue and
Gray proceedings. The Grand Army
posts ana the Confederate camps have
mixed themselves up in a most genial
way.
This does not mean that the special
value of the day. to the northerner, as
commemoration of the services and
death of the Union soldier has lost its
fine edge. On the contrary, it has
gained in zest The soldier died for
the Union, and those who lay flowers

morning of last week, when the sudden

through the town. He was sitting on
the door sill of William Morris store, on
the corner of Federal and Mulberry streets
talking with Stephen Palmer, when he
complained of a dizziness in the head,
dropped his cane and slid off the door
sill, on to the step, and died in that
position. delD was summoned and he
was taken to his home on a settee. Mr.
Lofand was 72 years, l month, and %
days old; and we'll known in this part of
the county. For many years he was an
active politician in the democratic ranks,
but of late his prestige and power had
waned, he took little interest in his party.

the Civil War, and leaves to survive him
