CALL
FOR MORE funds

Funds for the completion of all
coast defenses on Oahu now project
ed, and for the electrical installation
pertaining to them, are included in
the estimates of General William II
BiXby, chief of engineers of the army,
in his annual report submitted to
Congress December 2.
For the Notifications in the insular
possessions the estimates aggregate
$1,225,S69. including sea-coast batter
les for Hawaii. $4,000; for the Phil
ippines, $l,000,000; for electrical in
stallation,, Hawaii, $34,46S; for case
mates and galleries for mines in the
Philippines, $4,000.
The $4,000 is the balance of an APP
preparation of about $125, 600 for con-
structing the 6-inch and 3-inch bat
teries that are TO guard the entrance
to Pearl Harbor. Emplacements for
the l2-inch guns at Fort kamehame
ha and the 14-inch guns and 6-inch
battery at De Russy, are practically
complete and the mortar battery at
Pearl Harbor is provided for, so that
this sum will complete the seacoast
defenses of Oahu as far as present
plans go. 1t is also believed here
that the $34,46S estimated for electri-
cal installation, will cover the cost of
completing the telephone, lighting
and fire control systems.

GOOD TINES COMING.

1t has been a long while since one
could read the market page and be
cheerful, but the time has come
once more. We read that the only
check on the output of iron at pres
ent is the scarcity of labor; and iron
is the barometer of industry. When
the iron trade falls an industrial
squall is generally impending, and
when it rises the indications are for
business fair weather. Closer still to
the foundations of prosperity lie the
agricultural interests. The Missouri
farmer is smiling. When he sees
things in a rosy light there is ground
for general rejoicing. Corn, says
the State Board Of Agriculture,
promises to be a bumper crop. The
acreage is large and the condition
above the ten-year average. Oats
are in fine shape and hay and pasture
good. All Of this is going to market
some day either as it grew or in good

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Special Washington Correspond
ent of The Times.

BY CLYDE H. Tavenner.
Washington, Maya thousand
million dollars year!'
This is the amount the protected
industries wiring from the American
people over and above fair profit on
money actually invested, according to
an estimate made by United States
Senator Gilbert M. Hitchcock, OF
Nebraska. And Senator Hitchcock
has never been charged with making
wild statements.
81 believe it is within reason to
say" said Senator Hitchcock, at the
conclusion of a speech he made on
the subject, that a good examination
of the profits of all classes of privileged
wealth in the United States would
reveal that the protected industries
of this country exact from the people,
over a fair profit, approximately a
thousand millions of dollars year.
The fact that these industries have a
monopoly, granted them through our
laws, enables them to do this"
Senator Hitchcock's speech fairly
bristled with figures, taken from the
most reliable and authentic sources,
to back each of his detailed statement.
The steel trust gets $500, 600, 600
annually in excess of fair profit.
This monopoly does an annual business
of three thousand million dollars, and
it is admitted that without the tariff
on steel that trust would have to sell
its products at ten per cent. less than
it now charges, and ten per cent. OF
three thousand million dollars is three
hundred millions. Every man, woman
and child of the ninety-two millions
in this country, then, pays an annual
tribute of $3.50 to the steel trust over
and above what they would have to
pay if there were no tariff on steel.
What is the effect of this extortion?
One effect has been to create horde

Weather conditions now are atom

flood, and the only blot on the fair
prospect is the impending onset of

The statement of Bates county's
financial condition as compiled by
County Clerk C. G. Weeks, was pub
lished last week by order of the
county court and shows in detail the
receipts and expenditures of the
county for the past year. Mr.. Weeks
has compiled this statement in his
usual painstaking and systematic
manner, and it will be found to be
both clear and comprehensive.

West Goodwin Survives Leg Loss

Sedalia, NO., June 3.-Col. j. West
Goodwin, whose left leg was ampu-
tated last Wednesday, is getting along
nicely, the hospital surgeons say,
despite the fact that he was rs years
old last October. Col. Goodwin be-
gan learning the printers trade at
Browntown, Jefferson county, New
York, in 1848 and, with the exception
OF five years served in the Federal
Army, he has been connected con-
tnuously with the newspaper or job
printing business.

effect has been gradual Capitalization
of the wealth of the nation in the
hands of a few, with corresponding
intensity in the struggle for existence
among the masses. Still another
effect is seen in the increasing number
of strikes. Within the last Is years
there have been SO, 756 strikes in this
country, most of them for higher
wages. These strikes have involved
a total of 100000 workers, who,
with their wives and children, were
driven to suffering and desperation.
While the steel trust of this country
enjoys a complete monopoly, due to
the tariff, it finds time to compete
with other nations for steel trade.
Last year the steel makers of this
country sold $3.50, 100000 worth of
steel abroad, which proves that the
tariff on steel is not needed, and that
it is simply an artificial barrier put
up to enable the trust to gouge profits
out of the American consumer.
And in the meantime the Democratic
bill to lower the steel tariff, having
passed the House, lies in the Repub-
lican Senate, still Enacted upon.
Still in the Embalming Business.
Almost simultaneous with the
charges made in Congress by Con-
gresham Nelson that the Department
of Agriculture was letting up" in
the meat inspection standard, came
the discovery, at Philadelphia, that
5000 pounds of embalmed beef had
been put aboard the United States
Cruiser Prairie, which was about to
proceed to Cuban waters to help
quell the new revolution in that
country.
This tainted food was detected, not
by the regular meat inspectors, but
by special inspectors assigned by the
navy department to test that particu-
lar consignment of meat. The naval
inspectors described this meat as
''filthy and diseased.
Solicitor George p. McCabe, the
Wilson underling who drove DR.. Wi
ley out of the government service,
grew very indignant over the Nelson
charge. He called Mr.. Nelson a
liar" and bystanders had to use
force to restrain him from jumping
at the Congressman's throat during
one of the hearings.
The Philadelphia discovery shows
who was telling the truth.

Explosion Causes Inch of Rain.

Fl. Worth, Tex, June Fort
Worth and vicinity received a well
come, but unexpected rain from
Wichita Falls to-day, when an inch
of rain fell here, caused by a terrific
dynamite explosion there which cost
the city $1,000.
Soon after the explosion clouds
gathered, rain fell at GAINESVILLE, De-
catur, Denton and other towns, but
gave Wichita Falls the go-by.
The inch-rain is said by local scien-
fists to have been caused by the
Wichita Falls explosion. The expe-
riment is worth many thousand dol

that he would not resign, has done
this country real service, and if he
clings to that intention until the ques
ton of his retention can be decided
by vote in the Senate, he will have
performed a really great service.
There are something over forty
senators who will vote to keep Lori.
mer in his tainted seat. If Lorimer
had resigned, they would have es.
capped a record vote. Now that he
has announced his intention to stick,
they will be brought fairly to the
scratch and forced to 90 squarely on
record.
And after they vote for Lorimer
they will be retired justas soon as the
people can get at them. This will be
a mighty good thing for the country
for which Mr.. Lorimer is entitled to
credit.

Among the United States Senators
who will vote to retain Lorimer in
his seat, and who will vote on every
thing that comes up just exactly as
Aldrich himself would have voted,
had he remained in the Senate, is j.
H. Gallinger, of New Hampshire,
sometimes called Old Doctor Calling
er.
Gallinger has ideas on other SUBJ
jects than Lorimer and high tariff,
and among those other subjects are
the eight-hour day. Listen to him:
II happen to be one senator who,
during very important time of my
life, was able to work 16 hours day,
and if any man or any government
should have stepped in and said
should work only eight hours day,
I would have considered that man
or that government an enemy OF
mine. We might just as well legis-
late that man shall work 16 hours a
day as to say that he shall not work
more than 8 hours day."

With the Democratic National Con-
vention at Baltimore only three weeks
away, Speaker Champ Clark is lead
ing his nearest opponent for the DEM
ocratic presidential nomination two to
one in delegates instructed or favora-
BILE to his candidacy, says the Repub-
lie.
Speaker Clark has 427 undisputed
delegates, while the most Gov. Will
son of New Jersey can claim is 200.
Of the remaining 1873 to be elected
Gov. Wilson, according to the claims
of his managers, probably will not
get more than fifty. Included with
these are twenty-four he is expected
to receive when the Democratic State
Convention of Minnesota meets Tues
day to ratify the action of the county
conventions.
States in which Speaker Clark
should win are Idaho, which elects
delegates tomorrow; West Virginia
and Louisiana, Tuesday; Arkansas
and South Dakota, Thursday, and at
least half of North Carolina the same
day.
Rhode Island All for Clark.
The most recent acquisition of del
egates by the Clark forces is Rhode
Island, where the Pike county man
received the entire delegation of ten
under instructions.
Gov. Wilson won in New Jersey,
where he was unopposed by Speaker
Clark, though of the twenty-eightshe
is credited with but twenty-four, the
remaining four deing uninstructed.
