Extortion by Trusts l» Its Own Kemedy. Hew York Tlntr. Combinations of great capital arc to succeed, if nt alt, not by raising but by reducing the cost and prices of whatever they aim to control. The real risk in attempted extortionate monopoly ia not to the public, but to those who make the attempt aud to those who may be deluded in bettiug on their success. Han Do (fat Fair tha Law Enanfb. CWtf Janie* Walt** Clark, diaoruttas la Ik* Cel* cue The fact of prompt and certain punishment can deter from crime and reduce the frightful and growing nnniber of homicides, else why have a costly administration of justice at all. It is cer tain that under our present procedure in capital cases and the construction placed by the courts on the act dividing murder into taro degrees punishment is very far from certain. Men do not fear the law enough to refrain from gratifying their evil passions. This should be plainly said ami if the only relief is iu legislation, law-abiding citizens should know it that s sound public opiuion mnv apply the remedy. Bat Shurna Didn't Da TblaJ* THat Way. On. loka B. Gordon, in July Srribsrr't As I have intimated, the orders from General Lee (or the pro tection of private property and persons were of the most stringent character. Guided by these instructions and by my own impulses, I resolved to leave no ruins along the line of my march through Pennsylvania; no marks of a more enduring character than the tracks of my soldiers along its snperb pikes. I cannot be mistaken in the opinion that the citisens who then lived and still live on these highways will bear me out in the assertion that we inarched into that delightful region and then marched out of it, without leaving any scars to mar its beauty or lessen its value. 6«a. Jaa. B. Cardan an tha Battle al Cetiysbnrg. K. Y. T1m« SarudAT tain. We are bound to say from 41 hasty reading of some of the ad vance sheets of Gen. Gordon’s article [in the July Scriomr’s] that it embodies a stirring and exceptionally interesting narrative. His account of a cavalry charge in ttfel height of the conflict is full oi vigor, is perfectly coherent and commend ably moderate in ver biage. His anecdote of the plan of the position of the Union forces, which was concealed in a bouquet handed to him by a child, is a striking and not unimportant contribution to the hitherto un recorded history of the war. The plan was correct and measur ably helped Gen. Gordon in his own movements on the first day. Who his informant was he has never known. He thinks it was a woman "whose evident genius for war, had'occasion offered, might have made her a Captain equal to Catherine.” Colossi Bsasayslt’a Social Status. BickasoaA M*w»Lt*cWr. We speak deliberately when we say that so long ss Mr. Roose velt elects to associate on terms oi social equality with colored people, the representative white people oi the South will not and should not accept him as a aocial equal, associate and companion. * * * He had Booker Washington to dinner, ha has rather boasted that his child sat next to a colored ohild in a public school at Oys ter Bay, and has lost no opportunity to declare frankly Us accept ance of the negro as his social equal, has refused to recognize t man’s race, blood or color as a bar against bis equality. There is no need for us to anger ourselves or gnash our teeth over the mat ter. All that is necessary for us to do is to go quietly on our way with the feeling that President Roosevelt, the Rev. Dr. HilHs, and the rest of these citizens at the North who accept social equality ore not proper social companions for ns or our families. We may leave them to eeek their own assocletions according to their own preference while we do likewise, ignoring them most politely and good-humoredly except for necessary official and business purposes. 0M«ral Bertaa'a PM|« te (ha C(tisane el Yetft, Pi. In UU. Ota. Jma. B. OottJob. la J»li SetIWi. The appearance of these church-going men, women, end cbil dren, in their Sunday attire, strangely contrasted with that of my marching soldiers. Begrimed as we were from bead to foot with the impalpable gray powder which rose in dense columns from the ma cadamised pikes and settled in sheets on men, horses, and wagons, it is no wonder that many of York’s inhabitants were terrorstrick cn as they looked upon us. * * * Halting ou the main street, where the sidewalks were densely packed, I rode a few rods lu advance of my troops, in order to speak to the people from my hone. As I checked him end turned my tall doit-begrimed face upon s bevy of young ladies very near me, a cry of alarm came from their midst; but after a few words of assurance from me, quiet and apparent confidence was restored. With my first sentence 1 assured these ladies that the troops be hind me though id-clad and travel-stained, were good men and brave; that beneath their rough exteriors were hearts as loyal to women as ever beat in the breasts of honors^# men; that their ■own experience and the axperience of their mothers, wives, and sisters at home bad taught them bow pain fa 1 was the sight of a hostile army in their town; that under the orders of the Confeder ate commander-in-chief, both private property and non-combatants wees safe i that the spirit of vengeance and of rapine had no place in the bosoms of these dust-covered but knightly meat and I closed by pledging to York the head of any soldier under my com mand who destroy ad private property, disturbed the repose of e single home or insulted a woman. THE GAZETTE'S NEW MAILER. AN UP-TO-DATE DEVICE FOR ADDRESSING NAIL MATTER. A Weaderfal Liter Saving Me. chine—Orest Advance Over The Anttgaalad Paata and Label Schema—A Description Of tha Madam Machine and its Method af Operation. Our readers have perhaps no ticed that for the past few weeks their names are no longer written but printed upon their papers. This work is not done on a typewriter, as its neat appearance might suggest, but with rubber stamp* manipulated by a "rapid fire” machine built for the purpose. We should be 5lad to have onr subscribers rop in and aee the wonderful little machine at work. It is in teresting to see it. As hinted a few days ago we will give a description of this modern up-to-date device for ad dressing all kinds of mail matter with great speed. The machine is called the "Ad • - - ——1 I P| ■ —! machine is required for each kind. Thu Gazkttk uses cbe two-line. 3. Having set the names aud linked them together in bells or chains, yon tilt the table and slip the chain on the sprocketed cylinder made to receive it, snap the table down, and you are K'orly for work. The cut printed herewith is a good picture of the machine in operation. Peed the papers in above the table, press the treadle back with the foot, aud the first name is printed on the under side of the paper. Uc peat the operation and the names come into position and are printed one after the other antil the entire chain is com pleted. The last name should be set in s bell ringer to give the alarm or you ore likely to print the list over sipun. By the aid of the bell ringer you ore also warned that you have completed the list at a certain post-office; you next feed in a wrapper and the uame of the poat-office is printed on it; thus yon have the bundle and the wrapper for that office ready for rolling np. And so on to the end. When one chain is completed, it is removed and another put on in a moment. The length of the chain is THE ADDUBSSOGRAPH RlfC«d with the thn«-ll»c addreaaca. dressograph” and ia made by the | Addressogreph Company, Chi cago, Illinois. It has been on the market about six years, and thousands of them are in ate in the mercantile and manufactur ing esUbliihments of the great cities where a vast amount of mail matter is sent out repeated ly to the same Hat of customers. They are also used In many newspaper offices of the country though Th* Gazhttk is the first Southern newspaper we kaow of to adopt it. Th« system consists of three divisions: Tl) the type, (2) the links or holders for the names, sad (3) the mac bins itself, i ia of rubber and is about X of an inch high. It U readily set or sUddea Into the holders with tweeters, from a case made for the purpose. 2. The holders art crimped from metal, tod may be readily linked together in chains soma what like a cartridge belt. Tkey are 2# inches long. A special site ia amde half an inch longer. There ere ewe Hat. two-line, and three-line holders, but a different limited by the distance from the machine to the floor, in which there Is am ally room for 90 to 120 names. The two-Hne ad dresses run about 8 to every 5 inches. Instead of names set in type, the addresses may be stamped in metal at the factory, but when, aa in newspaper offices, frequent changes are necesssry. the type is preferable. The machine is handsomely finished and makes an attrac tive piece o/offic farnitore. It is equipped with pads for inking the type automatically, U t]*, has a device, which may be ad justed in a twinkling, by which address may be printed indeflnitely. In atwinklfog yon I can change the adjustment with one hand so that the machine will print a name twice, change to the next and print It twice, and so on. The coat oI tba complete Ad* dr«*oirr«ph system it far lees thaa that of the antiquated paste and label method, and aa a labor eavfaff device it is decidedly sa* perior to it. Tbs two arc alike only iu that the addresses are to be set in type and corrected from time to time. In the Ad dressograpli aystcin there ta no handling of galleys, an palling, trimming, pasting and rolling of proof*, no slicking and bungling of label*, tx> whetting ofknivr* no aailv p**tc-boxc» to cleao up and oil. When the mailing's done, yon are. And the post* m’a a t e r gets oo packages of papers stuck together clear through by reason oflabels pasted on both sides. This, in our judgment, is the foremost mailing system of modern times for newspaper offices. We bought the system for the reason that investigation led us to believe it the best, asd our actual experience ia the use of it has given so far no reason to reverse the opinion then formed. Come in and see it work. MOffinr THE FAIN. Beautify the — AtlracUva. SMtWra CuKirUer. If life is simply sad only a matter of hoeing cotton, eating fat meat and soggy bread, aud of going to bed, then let’s commit harikari at once and end the matter. It were better. The man who does not Hft bU life above the clods and out of Ibc furrows doe* not care how lie lives. Hu home with envi ronuiem* is the sorest index of Ins Draughts and life. Men and bouses are interchangeable if,?**’ llle *** the other. Where are ao large a proportion of all enr farm boys going to? Wby don’t they cooUooe on the farm? Why is the farm unat tractive? If called upon for an answer, I should say that one of the factors m the case is that we do not sufficiently dignify the farm. We do not sufficiently respect the farm; we do not give it the “r *j£?osphere of respect ability I The whole business and outfit gives us the impress ion of drudgery and humdrnm neas. A* I look back at tbc various ,th«t I have seen, the English farm, I believe, has most impressed me. As a boy, and growing up on it, I believe here it is that 1 would have been most apt to remain as a man. I have seen hundred of thousands of farms elsewhere that I, as a 12 year-old lad, would have run away from to escape such a life and such a home. No man could love, nor could he tolerate, a thing be conld not reapect. An outline of this English farm may be helpful. In the first place, every place ii an "'estate* -Hbe place’s name is one of dignity. The approach to it is through a gate with dignified and great pillar posts, no matter bow rude and rustic. On the gateway pasta is the estate’s name. It may be or need' not be fanciful and high sounding. The name often u chosen to designate some individuality of the estate. The house always has a setting—no matter how humble the house. This setting consists of u little path of walks and grass, shrubbery and trees, and not one of them, perhips, from florist or nurserym an. You respect the whole outfit place and owner—the moment you ace it. The boy grows up the same feelings yon have Every farm in North CaroH* n* A*. , (dignity means worthiness) of just each settings aa above. You may say that this ta not practical and that it is only an appeal to tiic imagination. But the moment yon leave imagina tion out of your life, I would not give a farthing for your Hfc. And if your boy is about to leave the old farm and yon want him to settle about yen and not Ei away—tbcu a plan that keens mend holds him—even though it be Imagination becomes a practical way. We should not give up this beautiful country to the negro cropper. If the four or five children of every man in the country conld only be made by tome means to settle ia the country in the place of going to town—then what a great future the South would have I Hm Newspaper Trust.
