The conference committee on the tariff bill has made better progress than anybody would have ventured, a week ago, to predict. The word from Washington is that there has been mu tual concession in the conference that has brought about a revision that is what was wanted. It is entirely safe to predict that the bill which will be reported this week will meet with the general approval of the republican party and of the country at large. The differences which have ileen adjusted have been questions of detail and have not involved the principle or the policy of protection. There will be no sur render of the doctrine of protection and the high standard of American wages will be maintained. This is what the people expect and require and this is what the republican party provides. KING CORN. Three billion bushels of corn is the report of the government crop experts and it is confirmed by the local state ments of the prairie states. This year corn is the monarch; this is the year of maize: Time was when cotton held the scepter and his away was undis puted; the growth and development of the middle west have brought about the revolution which has given the seat of power to the central valley. Last yeah wheat was the monarch and his strength this season is marvelous, but the bumper crop of corn makes the tassel the banner of the wealth-pro ducing army of the . west this year. 'But the wheat retirement is not per maneuet; yet further westward will the seat of agricultural supremacy be lo t#d and it will not be many sea sons before the wheat dynasty is f irnly seated upon the throne. This marvelous agricultural wealth is the foiladstion of the country's greatness alid nothing else Is responsible in so great a measure for the prominence which the west is attaining in the country's business and financial cir eles. SECTIONALISM. Almost every development of recent years-perhaps it would not be too much to say everyt development-has tended to strengthen our belief in the doctrine that the power of government in this country should be as much cen tralized as possible. The progress of the tariff debate added new strength to this conviction. The day for sec tionalism lsas departed; we are one country and our interests should be unified as much as possible; where there are local issues they should be recognized and there should be such concessions made as will strengthen the bonds between the north and the south, the east and the west. Anent the income-tax proposition. Harper's Weekly makes another earnest plea for less of sectional sentiment: "Sectionalism and selfishnes' Alas, they are always with us. end will lie at the bottom of practically all of the arguments pro and con. fur arid against the income-tax amendment. New York already, through the representative Times, insists that no amendment is needed because now direct taxation can be apportioned among the states "in proportion to their numbers." And yet the Times knows full well that this method would be grossly unjust and would put the chief burden where the tariff puts it now-upon those least able to bear it. If our nation is in deed a common country, a citizen of Nebraska or Mississippi should not be called upon to contribute one penny more to the federal treasury than a citizen of New York or New Jersey receiving the same income. Yet that is precisely what would happen under the present law. Suppose," for in stat$ce, congress should impose a tax o11 aout $100,000,000, equal to the to tal4 f $i 25 per head. New York would WAVe to pay approximately $10,000,000; Mississippi about $2,000,000. But the ,Oaber of persons in' Mississippi, in 5lding n, pearly one million negroes, v whose incomes are so negligible as to be unavailable for taxing purposes, is probably ten times as large as that of the same class in New York. In order to fill Mississippi's quota, therefore, an earner of $10,000 a year in that state would have to pay five or six times as much tax as an earner of $10,000 in New York. The utter inequity of such an imposition is manifest. More over, because a vastly greater number of persons possessing good incomes happen to live in New York than hap pen to live in Mississippi is no reason why they should not pay in propor tion to their earnings. Obviously it should make no difference where one resides: he should be taxed according to his means, without regard to the amount produced by any section, state, county or city." county or city." THE COURSE OF JUSTICE. How greatly pettifogging methods of court practice may interfere with the course of justice is shown in the his tory of the celebrated Asheville bank case, which comes up for trial, once more, today, before the federal dis trict court of North Carolina. There are three defendants, Major W. E. Breese, Joseph E. Dickerson and W. H. Penland, who are charged with con spiracy and embezzlement. If these men are convicted on all the counts against them their sentence will amount, practically to life imprison ment, The First National bank of Ashe ville closed its doors twelve years ago. Since that time the cases against its former officers have been before the United States courts in North Car olipa almost continuously, Major Breese, who is the most prominent of the three defendants, is now to face a jury for the fifth time. The original indictment was found at Greensboro, in October,, 1897. Later another in dictment was returned in Asheville, charging the defendants with em bezzlement, misapplication of funds and fraud. The Asheville indictment was held by the United States circuit court of appeals to be defective be cause two members of the grand jury -two negroes-who returned the bill had not paid their taxes. The defend ants are now to go to trial on the Greensboro indictment. At the first trial Major Breese and Mr. Dickerson were tried separately on the Asheville bill of indictment and found guilty. Each was sentenced to ten years in the federal prison at At lanta. The case was appealed to the United States circuit court ot appeals and a new trial granted on the ground that the presiding judge had erred in charging the jury. At the second trial Major Breese was tried alone and a mistrial resulted. The cases were then removed from Asheville to Charlotte and Major Breese tried for the third time. Another mistrial resulted. Major Breese was tried for the fourth time at Charlotte and convicted, the jury find lug him guilty on the misapplication count and on the embezzlement count. The court imposed a sentence of seven years in prison. Again the case was carried up to the United States cir cult court of appeals and dismissed on the ground that the Asheville indict ment was faulty because two of the members of the grand jury had not paid their taxes. Money put into western Montana land increases amazingly-another evi dence of the great fertility of our soil. The most persistent effort has thus far failed to achieve success for an automobile in collision with a train. At this stage of the proceedings, the Indications are that there will be no meeting of the city council tonight. The lot which the buyers rejected is now a top-pricer and desired of all. Time worketh change. It is too bad that Butte should wait until a boy has been killed before reg ulating automobile speed. American Forks appears to have been wrongly named. Lightning Forks would have been better. Little drops of water, running o'er the sand, make the desert blossom. (Listen to the band.)

Pittsburg, July 25.-An attorney for the Public Defense association has pre pared a new application for an injunc thin against the Pressed Steel Car company and its striking etaployes. It asks that the workmen be enjoined from interfering with the company in hiring men to take the place of the strikers and from committing acts of violence. It also enjoins tIie company front interfering with the strikers.

This imorixing the railroad coo mils iion, with the idea of getting data for the freight rate question st1ll in their minds, will pass over the Puget Sou til on their way to the state line. A gen eral inspection will be nude at every station. Conditions and rttes wvili le looked into and the information will be recorded for future reference. The oiomissionirs come in a spe cial train and they will go clear to the St. Paul Pass tunnel, which cuts the state line. Superintendent Barrett will neen u pany the cox ission out of here and will escort the body as long as they remain oil tihi i divislin. In the early part of the month the coxixxissioners went over the Northern Pauilfi and, having tinished with thalt line, are now inspecting the Puget Sound. The Great Northern and the smaller roads of the state still reimain to bl gone over and it will probably hlx a long time before a decision cxn be reached in the matter.

The four coaches which the train carried were crowded and for the first tiiix one of the Mogul enginixs Was required to pull the string of cars. 'lihi big crowd was handled iuickily and easily and a record was made in getting axnay from the crossing it tlii end of the bridge.

The sys tem makes a flat rate for the riveting of a complete ea', and those who work on a car share alike in the division of the money. Six hundred foreigners in the rivet ing department became dissatisiled with tle neon wage system and quit work. Then they made a demonstra tion and induced others to walk out. Pipe Utters, machinists. woodworkers, construction workers :a pd axle workers joined the crowds of Itrikers and in side of an hour not a man was work. Crowds of strikers, determined that no one should take their places. prue tically patrolled every street in Schoen ville and surrounded the immense car manufacturing plant. The situation shape as to get away without stopping the bridge travel at all, Amnitg the ppassengers on the noin train over the Puget Sound yesterday was M. Sullivan, oinmercial agent for the Milwaukee at lDes Moines, Iowa. Mi. Sullivan is on his way to the coast and being a friend of A.

We certainly have it over you when it comes to easy railroading." Mlr. Sullivan will visit for a few days with Mr. and Mirs. Hillhan and will then resume his journey to the coast. Traffic still goes on at its usual rate over the Northern Pacitfc. Yesterday, keing Sunday, ivas a little below the average; but still there was ai pretty heavy travel all day. Things ran smoothly, however, and Sunday ails as peaceful in tie road as in a country village. There was oit even a delay of any account to makhe things exciting and the operating department earned a inu-l-des'ivedi rest from the strenu ous labors of the past motth. The 1prospete Ii t Int thead ranchers who arrived in town yesterday had to peaceful time, i. ive'r.

Every street car crossing the McKee's Rock bridge from Island avenue was held up and several passengers, mistaken for work men going to the plant to work, were dragged from their seats and beaten. The steamer Steel Queen. with 100 foreigners on board who wished to re turn, to work, was tired upon by a mob of several hundred men who lined the Ohio river bank. Some men on the steamer returned the tire, but the crowd did not disperse and the boat was turned toward the Allegheny shore. The McKee's Rock plant is operating only about 33 per cent of its normal capacity and about 3,500 meen all told have been employed there. The dis satisfaction was mainly in that branch of the work in which about 600 for eigners were employed as riveters.
