REVOLT OF \ FAMILY SLAVE.

The Chicago Journal recites most remarkable case where d woman of that city has rebelled against the hard conditions of her home. Always a hard and steadfast worker, she had accumulated by her own labors a small property. Incidental to 1hls were a husband and two grown sons.
 The wife and mother learned that lhe longer she tOiled and the more she made the less inclined the three male members of the family were to work. They stopped labor by degrees, and al last had reached vegetable stage of existence where all they re- ouired was shelter and nutriment, which they would not furnish them selves. They remained in that con tented condition for a time long enough to convince the woman that they had no intention of working as long as she made enough to support them all.
 Then the outraged wife and moth CT arose The house where they kept their lazy bodies from the rain and dew was her house. earned by her own hands So was every particle of food that had been furnished for their idleneSs. From the house she ab- ruptly busted thenl-"tired" is the word that could be used The table was wholly denied them. And to clinch the return of the wild to the primitive conditions where man does ] the hunting for food at least she published that she would be no long CT responsible for the debts of hus- band OF sons.
 Such d woman deserves well of the country. II is a lamentahle fact il economies that the number of womel at work bears a seemingly fixed ra tio tu the number of men out of work The nation as a whole is indebted t( any person who will substitute man for woman's labor in the world of in dustry.

this reason many preachers, as the correspondent of the Sun remarks, no longer speak to men as men or Hod divinely chosen and set apart to volce His holy will and word. Right or wrong the people of today LOOK upon the preacher simply as professional man. who has chosen vocation Tn which to make a living, and Wher- ever the best living is there Will ne surely be found, if by any means he can attain thereto. Of course, this is not true of large numbers of ex- cellent preachers, but it is true Of a large enough number ito discount the whole business" in the opinion of the average man.
 That touches sore spot in the evil complained of Preaching has been made a business by too many preach CTS. Being business man, the preacher can no longer proclaim the truth, as he sees it, but must cater to the taste of those who pay his sal ary. The Spirit of the Lord cannot be with him when he makes the sal yatiOn of souls matter Of barter. That is the secret of the present de cav of the pulpit and the unsatisfled hunger for the word of the Lord among vast numbers of professed Christians.

BRYAN'S GOVERNMENT OWNER
 SHIP.

Senator Bacon does not take kindly to the proposition advanced by MT. Bryan for the government to go into the railroad ownership business. Sen ator Bacon is regarded as one of the ablest and wisest leaders of the Dem ocratic party and a very conservative statesman, and his opinion is being sought by the leaders of his party in other states than Georgia. or BrvanS scheme. he says:
 Tn it's practical operations it would be the most extreme radical measure of Daternalistic socialism. l can think of a score of strong and sufficient req sons against it. and scarcely a good reason for it-certainly not one that is not counterbalanced in tenfOld degree bv the evils which it would entail. It would be impracticable for the gov ernment to maintain and operate 22o,- GOO miles of railway economically and honestly and build the new lines that would be required as well. It would present the most inviting and unlimit- ed field for graft and thievery the world eyer saw. The very great ma joritv of the officers and operatives doubtless would be honest men, but the gratters could not be kept out The spoil would be too immense, too rich and too inviting. And Ill the com plicaions of so vast and intricate sys- tenn covering d continent few Of the orafters and thieves would eyer be caught The government would not be bankrupted only because il is too rich ad resourceful to be bankrupted by anything, but it would nevertheless have to put it's hand deep down into the pockets of the people to prevent It. l The fact that the postofllce depart ment is successfully run by the gov ernment is no evidence to the cons trary of this The railroad business of the United States is. in it's ma%nl- tude, scope. intricacies and difficult ties one hundred times greater than that of the postotiice department

RAILROADS AND POLITICS.

"JTD in the country that is crlSS- crossed with railroads and fully de veloped it may be time to go after the railroads as the scapegoat for all the sins. including those of the scamp with the party brand upon him, but this part of the country needs two railroads where it has one, sometimes where it has none, and, while we De- lieye in keeping the railroads within 1 bounds, we are not ready for any such raid" says the Dallas News.
 Commenting on the foregoing, the San Antonio Express thinks that per haps it would be well if some of the politicians who think it the proper thing to charge the railroads with re- sponsibility for all the sins Of the world would share this view and Sov- ern themselves accordingly, having more regard for the interests Of the country than for the cultivati)1 q en
 unreasoning and ureasoable preJu- dice.
 Our politicians make laws to govern the railroads, to fix the rates at which they may transport freight and pas sengers, even going so far as to pre- scribe the limit to which free trans portation may be given and for what purpose. And then they declare that the railroads must not take any part in politics, must have no voice ill the selection of the politicians who are to make the laws for their government or of those who are to sit in judgment upon all that the railroads may do or may desire to do.
 Even in the country that is criss- crossed with railroa's, where develop ment has practically reached it's limit and there is no unsolved transporta- ton problem, is this quite in accord with the American idea of fair play ? If the railroads are to be made d issue in politics with various limita- tiOns of their owners and operators in i'ii the eXactions upon them in various schemes of taxation and costly dam age suits, is it quite fair to the rail- roads to deny them the rights which other persons and interests enjoy ill the game of politics?
 There are powerful railroad inter- e:ts and combinations which are al legged to have exercised undue lnilu- ence ill politics ill the up-countrY where they have acquired immense power. It is not necessary to mention the systems which have been built LID as they have been under lax laws of a former time. It is well know. how the first transcontinental roads were put through by the aid of the general government and by the aid of enormous grants of public lands and by private subscriptoin. The people were eager for railroads then and the country was made vastly richer by their construction and operation. The alternate section of land not gwen to the railroad is worth many times as much now as the whole area was be- fore. because of the enhancement of the property.
 In the undeveloped portion of this country we need the railroad as much as ever-more, in fact-because nc country can be prosperous without modern transportation facilities. In f the new territory traversed by the railroads there must be development to make the railroad profitable and the railroad is therefore, quite as much as any other interest, concerned 1 for the upbuilding of the country and quite as ready and willing to do its i part.

A Managing Editor Run Mad"

The ways of managing editors are
past finding out, and truly the
managing editor seems to have run
mad of late ON the subject Of person
al journalism. which is polite way
of referring to newspaper work that
sticks its nose where it has no bust
ness. One of the latest and worst
examples followed on the official an
nouncement the other day of Miss
Roosevelt's engagement to Repre-
sentative Longworth. Many of the
Washington correspondents were in
undated with demands for special
stories. but the limit was the case
of one local man who received tele-
gram as follows: Write immedi-
ately 1000 word interview Of Nick
Longworth's views on race suicide"
Needless to say the story has not
been sent yet.-Allentown, Pa,

IN THE SUPERIOR COURT.
Some Cases Dismissed, Some Set
for Trial and Some Men Ar.
raigned In Superior Court :.

The most interesting case to come
before Judge Rigg yesterday was
taat of Willard Boyd. He was
charged with rape. but in view OF
Ike fact that the girl in the case is
now over the statutory age and has
tod several people that she was go
ing to testify against Boyd out of
motives of revenge. the prosecuting
attorney thought it best to dismiss
the case.
The case of Lewis Ward charged
with assault with deadly weapons,
was set for January 20.
The cases of Harry s. Clark and
]. s. Sullivan were dismissed for
lack of evidence.
Edward Mitchell charged with
burglary, and Robert Small charged
with horse stealing, both pleaded
not guilty as did w. Cowles, the
Yakima City school clerk.

we're brought back from the reform
school because they were too old

good behavior.

Yer, the Indian who was found
guilty of assault and battery by
jury in the last term of court, but
who was granted a new trial by
Judge Rigg on technical point, was
dismissed on motion Of the prose-

The McPhail divorce case was
heard by Judge Rigg in his chambers
and decree was granted to the hus-
band, the property matters being

A Straw Mulch in the Orchard.

Eight tons of straw costing at
the rate of $3.50 per ton were used.
About 25 trees were left unmulched
for comparison. The fall season
was very dry, there being very
little rain from August until Decem-
Der. The mulched fruit was in
creased considerably in size, and the
percentage of first grade fruit in
creased about IA per cent by the use
of straw AS result of the better
appearance and higher grade of the
mulched fruit, it is estimated that
1t will bring Csc more per barrel
than the unmulched fruit.
'The color was much better where
mulched, as the dry weather caused
the leaves to fall from the unmulch-
ed trees before the fruit fully mat
ured in some cases. The gain in
number of barrels and increased
size Of fruit was about $135, and

Puerta Plata, Santo Domingo, dated
Saturday, state that the recent fight
ing was very sharp, $50 out Of 500
men on both sides being either
killed or wounded. The dead
bodies were left lying in the streets
for two days. An attack on Puerto
