the real thing has departed never to re-
turn. Commercialism and greed, the
characteristics of the age, have got in
their fell work on sugar tree molasses,
Just as they have affected everything
else. Even the farmers have yielded
to the temptation and sneak off in the
corner while they adultcrate the very
nectar of the gods with base brown
sugar. Here and there is an exception,
but only in out-of-th e-way places, like
the hills Of Kentucky and Virginia. and
the amount produced is usually only
enough for home consumption, none for
sale.

PENSIONS OF coNFEpERATEs.
Every Southern State Pays Annuities

country as a matter Of duty ana pa

talk has been silcnced. Every South
crn state pays pensions to Confederate
veterans. and it is entirely proper that
they should. But what a change in
sentiment the years have wrought! A
change also in the financial condition
Of many veterans and in the physical
condition Of all Of them.
Tennessee pays $250.C0 a year in pen
SIons for Confederate veterans and
$23.0r0 year in widows pensions. In
addition 1t maintains a Soldiers Home.
for which the state made an original
appropriation Of $4,000. Later it gave
$4,000 for fences. cabins. etc. Individ-
vi subscriptions amounting to over
S6,ooo have been made. and the present
value Of the property is about $4,000.
There are ia inmates of this home,
and they are maintained at a cost Of

tennessee pays the best rate of pen

est pension to men is $50 a year, or 50
month, and its highest is $500 year,
or SO month. Widows Of the first
class receive $72 a year and widows Of
the second class $50. Only a few states
pension widows. and none pay over $50

THE USUAL SOURCE
 OF YAQUI BATTLES
El Paso has Precipitated Another Pe- ouliarly Sanguinary Conflict in Southern Sonora.

Fl PasO. Texas, Jan. 25.-Meagre in formation was received here today but no definite details of a battle between Mexican troops and Yaqui Indians in Sonora. The battle occurred on the Yaqui river on Wednesday and the Mexicans defeated the Yaquis after a hard fight. in which heavy losses were inflicted on the Indians and Mexicans. The loss of the Mexicans is stated now to have been twenty-five killed.
 With the Yaqui Indians were two white men said 10 be criminal refugees from the United States. This is the substance of the information brought to Montezuma by runners from the scene of the conflict, and is believed to be substantially correct. although the Mexican military authorities in Juarez are without advices.
 It has been known for some time that the Yaauis were preparing for an aggressive movement and that the government of Sonora has been making preparations for a campaign against the Indians. The scene of the reported battle is remote from lines of com and it may be days before. authentic details are obtained.

THE GROWING INSIGNIFgCANCE
 OF STATES.

The concurrent resolution adopted by the legislature yesterday conveying sympathy with the state of California whose right to conduct its own pub lie school system is on trial is in keeping with expressions by the legislatures of many of the Pacific and western states. It is difficult to understand why every state should not be equally and simi- larly interested in the controversy now going on in the California courts
 The main question is not the Yellow Peril which agitates the coast We can easily see why people of the east ern and middle states are not concern cd in the Chinese and Japanese prob lem; we can see why the Slovenian, Hungarian and Lithuanian problem is 10 them a much more serious one. The much more serious question is whether the power of congress has outgrown the constitutional limita- tions placed upon it until now it has grasped the school systems of the states. If so. we can conceive of no right hitherto enjoyed by the states which may not be submerged by fed eral authority until at last all state lines shall be obliterated.
 Thus the test which is now going on in California, while of the greatest To- cal interest, is everywhere of equally deep interest.
 We will perhaps not have to wait long to discover where We stand Several questions have been presented but the most direct one as it is put on the part of the federal government is whether a state may violate the terms of a treaty between the United States and a foreign power. The treaty with Japan is interpreted to have conferred upon the subjects of Japan all the rights and privileges of an American citizen. one of which it is now alleged is to send their children to white schools.
 We are not familiar with the terms of this treaty or with the terms of any of our treaties with foreign na- tions, but We are certain that there are many privileges and rights en- joyed by Americans which subjects of Great Britain do not enjoy. For in stance, an alien may not enter upon ! public land, nor may he locate min ing claim.
 The right of sending Japanese chill dren to white American schoois is not | expressly stipulated in the treaty. but | if it were. it would still not be the | main question. It would yet be to be i determined whether the United States government could have guaranteed to the Japanese a right whose bcstowal | rests with state.
 We have in this territory. as many | states have, laws prohibiting mar riages between persons of different | races. Caucasian may not marry ne | gro, Indian or Mongolian. That is, a | Japanese cannot marry an American | woman. But by the interpretation | now given to the Japanese rights in San Francisco. would not the Japan | csc be relieved of the prohibition con tained in our law against rniScegena- tiol?

fFrom our Regular Corresponding

from our Regular Correspondent1
WASHINGTON, ID. c., January 3.--The
meat inspection, which went into effect
last Tuesday. is giving a great deal of
trouble to packers of Snithheld hams in
Isle of Wight county. 1t has been found
to be absolutely impracticable to inspect
the hams as is done in the case OF live
stock butchered in regular packing es-
Establishments. and until this can be done
the dealers In these hams at Snithield
Will be greatly ham" -pered
The hams, which have made Smithtield
famous are not those of hogs butchered
at establishments in the town. Dealers
In Srnithfield buy the hams only of hogs
slaughtered In Isle of Wight and nearby
counties. The hogs are slaughtered by
the farmers and sold to the dealers, who
cure the meat. and ship 1t to markets all
over the country.
The Department of Agriculture would be
perfectly willing to send inspectors to
Srnithfeld were the hogs slaughtered
there. but. of course. it is impossible to
send them to the homes OF the various
farmers to inspect the living animals. In
order to make an inspection which WIN
meet. the requirements of the statute, it is
necessary for the inspectors to have the
heart. liver and probably other portions
OF the interior architecture OF the animal.
Obviously, it is not possible for these
to be sent to the Slnithtield dealer.
Secretary Wilson has held that the
dealer may sell to the consumer outside
of the State without prior inspection, but
that he cannot sell to other dealers.
Senator Martin has taken up the matter
with the department, and is trying to
induce the secretary to agree to an
amendment to the law which will allow
discretion in the matter of suspending
the Law In cases similar to those of the
Smithtield ham dealers He said to-day
he thought he would be successful in this.
Secretary Wilson is perfectly willing to
do whatever he can In aid of an industry
which has a world wide reputation so
far as his action will not weaken or
defeat the general law designed to secure
clean and wholesome meat products.
Senator Martin said to-day that dealer
at Charlottesville Is also making com
plant that he is not allowed to send
hams which he purchases to Washing
ton. owing to their not having been in
spected prior to being offered for ship
ment. The farmer who butchers the hogs
Is allowed to ship them out of the State,
and the dealer may so ship them II the
conSignee be customer. Captain Lamb,
who is the senior Democratic member of
the Committee on Agriculture, said to-
day that the farmer will have to procure
from the Department OF Agriculture a
permit in order to be able to ship hogs
and cattle of his own, butchering to points
outside the State.
