was considerable force of Confeder-

them with about $500 troops from New

Colonel Monroe. were encamped few

Where Impetuosity Won.
TO get at the enemy ii was neces
sary to traverse narrow lane, where
the Federals were subjected to a muir
derous fire. At the end Of this lane
was stout rail fence that had to be
thrown down. Notwithstanding these
obstacles the guard swept through
with a shout like thunder. Beyond
the lane the Union commander sent
detachment Of thirty men against the
center Of the Confederate cavalry, and
with such impetuosity was the charge
made that the opposing line was
broken. Zagonyi then ordered his
whole line to charge in open order.
and they struck the foe with whirl-
wind velocity. sending the southern
infantry scampering to cover In
nearby wood and driving the cavalry
pellmell into the town, fighting them
through the streets and finally captur-
ing or dispensing them all.
When the carnage was at its height
in the streets of Springfield the Union
women faced the danger and came out
of their houses to wave handkerchiefs
and cheer the victors on. The slaugh-
ter was fearful. More than half Of
Zagonyi's force was killed. wounded
or missing. Several of the men had
two or three horses shot under them,
but captured Confederate horses and
went on. The charge started at about
4 O'Clock in the afternoon. and it was
dark when the fighting ceased. There
were nearly twenty charges through
the streets. When it was all over Ia

he found in the town and raised the

SCARCITY OF LABOR.

~ lack of labor on the farms with the approach
of harvesting season. The farmers are puzzled.
They don't know where to find help.
1t IS common story among Delaware farmers
Some tenants hesitate before undertaking 10 cul-
tivate large farm They fear they cannot OBJ
tain labor. The labor problem is really the most
important one that confronts the average Della
ware farmer today
Some years ago it was not so difficult TO procure
help, and wages then we're much lower than now
But the habit now is for laborers TO seek the city.
They work on railroads and the like Many are
still living in the country who do as little work
as possible. They manage to exist in some way.
If all the able bodied men in the towns and
in the country districts really wanted to work,
there would be trouble among the farmers to
secure help when needed

EQUAL SUFFRAGE.

IT HAT the movement for equal suffrage is
4 growing is shown by the great victory won
by the women in California. Until the victory in
the Pacific coast state no very popuous common
wealth had equal suffrage
In 1869 Wyoming led off by giving women the
right to vote, but Wyoming at that time a ter
ritory with population of only 5000, not includ-
ing Indians. In 1898 Colorado adopted equal suf-
frage. The population then was about 100000.
Utah had some 245,00O residents in 1896 when
women the ballot there, and Idaho which
adopted equal suffrage during the same year had
a population of about 100000.
The suffragists carried Washington last year,
which was the first state of more than a million
population to grant the right to vote to women.
Washington is young state, but the same cannot
be said of California which has been in the union
for than sixty years, and is the twelfth state
in population of the country. California has more
than 2,5O0,000 residents.
No wonder that the advocates of equal suffrage
jubilant for they think other states will rap
idly follow in the foot steps of California.
But it has not yet been demonstrated that the
government in states where women vote is better
the whole than in states where there is no equal
suffrage.

OvERCAPITALIZATION.

HNR. JAMES ]. HILL is described as the MAN

often meet the youth Of this kind except in the
pictorial advertisement
But Mr.. Hill as the Man who knows has
remedy for the trust evil which is simply TO en-
force the laws against the trusts This, he thinks,
will break them up.
Such enforcement would mean among other
things, the compelling of the trusts and big enter
prises TO show that every dollar of their capital
stock had been paid for in cash or in property,

In all efforts at trust making large share OF
The stock is secured by the promoters and there is
great deal of water. When the trusts find it diff
foult to earn a fair percentage on the real and
the water value they cry that business is depressed
and that demagogues are interfering with them.
They want to be let alone.
One of the evils Of the business world is over
capitalization 1t is the cause OF a great deal OF
financial distress Overcapitalization is really an
effort on the part OF capital to exact more than
its share from labor. Enormous profits must be

Thousands of tickets, it is said, with the conniv-

at once proceeded to hold up the public after the

New York tamely submits, as it always does The
best seats at the theatres where popular plays are
running fall into the hands of the Spectators al

FOOLISH RUMOR.

a FOOLISH report is printed TO the effect that
1 n Republican leaders will oppose the reap
pointment of District Attorney John p Nields, the
reason given being that Mr.. Nields in the per-
formanee of his sworn duty prosecuted a man for
violating the civil service laws.
Of course the Republican leaders would not op-
pose MrNieds any such score for he has conduct
ed the Office of District Attorney in an able and
upright manner.
The only possible argument against the reap
pointment would be that at the expiration Of his
term Mr.. Nields will have been district attorney
for two terms, but should he desire reappoint-
ment, we have no doubt that Mr.. Taft who has a
special wish TO see capable men in the service Of
the government, will consider Mr.. Nields's terms
OF efficient service as good reason why he should
be continued in the place that he has filled with
credit to himself and to the government as we'll.
