PUBLISHER INDICTED.

Colonel A. J. Blethen, publisher of the Sc
attic Times, has been indicted on charge of
taking graft from the tenderloin interests He
is also indicted on a charge of printing libels
in relation to the graft investigation now being
conducted in the Washington metropolis Will
lam }. Burns is conducting the investigation in
his customary way. The Times has taken sides
with former Mayor Gill, who was recalled, and
former Chief of Police Wappenstein, who has
been indicted at the instance of Burns on the
charges of taking brides from gamblers and
fallen women. The witnesses employed by
Burns are the lowest of the criminal and dis
solute class. Colonel Blethen says the indict-
ments returned against him and his son were
found for the purpose of intmidating the
Times and stop it from printing the facts in
regard to the graft crusade of Detective Will
lam Burns is conducting. He not only de-
nounces the allegations, but defes the allega-
tor. He says Burns is following his usual
method of trying to destroy men of repute with
the testimony of abandoned criminals who con
fess themselves to be without decency and
honor.

LANE AND BAER IN CONTROVERSY

Recently Franklin X. Lane interstate com
merce commissioner, took occasion in an address
before the finance forum of New York City to
define his personal views of the relations be-
tween the railroads and the public The add
dress is characterized clear statement of
the popular view of this question and this
summary is gven
In his view, Wall street--by which
he plainly means the railway managers
regards the railway companies of the
United States simply as instrumental
ties by means of which stock and bond
issues may be created available for
Wall street speculations. On the other
hand he asserted that the people of
the United States and especially the
people of the west, believe the railroad
companies are servants of the public,
that the public should regulate and alb
solutely control them.
1t is not clear why these views should be
regarded as extreme radical in Wall street.
but such apparently is the ease In fact Pres
dent Baer of the Reading road-Baer of 'Edi.
vine right fances-goes to the other extreme
in an address before the Traffic club, which is
summarized in part:
He admitted there had been grev-
Gus wrongs associated with the enor
nous development of the transportation
industry OF the United States These
were committed to who secured
control of corporations and then issued
stock and bonds wherewith they en-
riched themselves. Never iustifabe
in President Baer's opinion. it is less
justiiable now than ever and he insists
that the railway managers of the
United States must be strong enough to
resist the cunning Screenings of able
and unprincped men whose purpose
is to make a speculative football of
railway securities. lie stated to the
Traffic club his opinion as a lawyer
that, to the extent the interstate com
merce commission is given power in it's
own initiative to make rates. and there
by control property which the nation
does not own, it is a delegation of leg
isative power which cannot lawfully be
delegated and he furthermore states
emphatically that this power will fall
by its own excessive weight
Mr.. Baer gives away his whole case at tla,.
start. Those "grievous wrongs" whose com
mission he confesses were checked only by tie
exercise OF the supreme power of government
If no such machinery had been put in opcr-
alton, these wrongs sanctioned by divine RICH.
would be still continuing. Mr. Baer was born
300 years too late for his own comfort

sought. and the majority OF them will
have to try again if they get into the

was a total of $40 sets of papers sent
in for marking, II of these being for
primary certificates; $40 for second
grades and l43 for third grades. Out
of this list ten were granted primary

applicants being given third grade

The failures numbered $50.

dertook the studies with whose re-
suits you have long been familiar.
The efforts OF DR.. Herty and other
experimenters have demonstrated con-
~clusively that improved methods, in
which a cup Is used to catch the crude
turpentine and the box done away
with, result In the production OF a
larger quantity of tu~rpentine and ros-
In, high grades of the latter, longer
life to the timber and greatly lessened
damage from fire and wind. The in
PRODUCTION OF these methods Is the
first step In conservative turpentining.
Because Of the increased initial cost
Of the equipment such methods have
not appealed to the smaller operators,
who have little capital, and whose OPP
erations extend over only two IT three
years In a given locality. They are
unquestionably profitable to the larger
operators and especially to those who,
working upon their own timber, have
the most inducement to handle Il
carefully. Only within the last five
years have these improved methods
been introduced upon a commercial
scale.
Yet the fact that alreaedy one-sev-
enth of the entire output Of naval
stores is by those methods, and that
in the newer fields and most up-to-
date operations they are used most
largely demonstrates that they have
passed far beyond the experimental
stage.

Pierre.-The total balance in all
funds of the state treasury, as shown
by the statement of that department
for the month of May, is 1894 ,3SS.16,
a decrease of about $4,000 from the
balance for the preceding month. The
general fund shows a balance of $751;
1892, which will be increased during
June by the tax collections for the sec
ond quarter, which should amount to
about 5000, 900. The most of the mis-
cellaneous funds in the treasury are
very low, with the exception of the in
terest and income fund of the common
schools, which have not yet been APP
portioned. The permanent school fund
is nearly all loaned out, the balance
at the present time being only a trifie

of the oldest industries in the
United States, deriving its
name from the fact that In The
early days pitch from pine
trees was commonly used to make
wooden vessels water-tight. The term
has persisted to this day, though the
products long ago found other and
more important uses.
The %turpentining Of pine timber be-
gan in New England with the pitch"
or yellow pine, of hat region, but 1t
was in North Carolina that the first
extensive development of the naval
stores industry occurred. The records
show hat from 1858 to 1910 the ay-
erage exports of naval stores to Eng
land included S8.111 barrels of crude
%turpentine, 20,646 barrels of pitch and
1856 barrels of tar. Most of the
crude was shipped to England for dis
tillation through the ports Of Will
mington and Newbern.
The s%upplanting Of the iron retort
by the copper still in 1884 greatly
increased the output Of volatile oil
and gave much impetus to the indus
try. However, previous to 1914 not
over one-half Of the production in
North Carolina was distilled at home.
Then, because Of the poor market for
resin, the stills yer transferred from
the ports to the woods, and a heavy
onslaught upon long-leaf pine forests
of the south began.
North Carolina reached It's maxi
mum in naval stores production in
1880, with an expectation of 6,279-,
250 gallons of turpentine, and 663, 967
barrels Of resin. A comparison Of
this great expectation with a total pro-
duction in North Carolina In 1908 of
$4,000 gallons Of turpentine and 49,
800 barrels Of rosin tells the story Of
the exhaustion of the long-leaf pine In
that state. South Carolina attained
its maximum output Of naval stores
in 1882. only two years after that Of
North Carolina. The invasion Of new
forests of virgin timber brought Geor-
gia to the front a few years later. but
recently that state has been sur
passed by Florida, which is producing
nearly one-half of the total value Of
the yearly output of the naval stores
