These charges are entitled to the ut most consideration from me and I shall go over them carefully before taking any option. After making these charges you add, as a further reason for opposi tion to them, that he is a colored man, and after reciting the misdeeds that followed carpet bag rule and negro domination in South Carolina, you say that ‘we have sworn never again to submit to the rule of the African and such an appointment as that Of . Br* Crum to any such office forces us to protest Iinanimously against this insult to the white blood, and you add Ihat you understood me to say that I would never force a negro on- such a Mmmni nity as yours, “M r. puts the objection of color first, saying: ‘First, he is a colored man and that of itself ought to bar him from the office.’ 'lit view of these last statements I think I ought to make clear to you why I am concerned and pained by your making them and what my attitude is as regards all such ap pointments. How any one could have gained the idea that I had said I would not appoint reputable and upright col ored men to office when objection was made to them, solely on account of their color I confess I am wholly un able to understand. At the time of my visit to Charleston last -spring I had made, and since that time I have made, a number of such appointments from several States in which there is a con siderable colored- population. For ex- ampue, I made one such appointment in Mississippi and another in Alabama, shortly before my visit to Charleston, t had at that time appointed two colored men as Judicial magistrates in ihe Dis trict of Columbia.;I have recently, an nounced another srieh appointment for New Orleans, and have just made one from Pennsylvania. The great majority of my appointments in every State have been of whits men. North and South alike, it has-’ been my sedulous endeavor to appoint’only men of high character and good capacity, whether white or black. Biit it has been my consistent policy, in every Slate where their numbers warranted it to r»cog- nizc colored men of good repute and standing in making appointments to office. These appointments of colored men have in no State made more than a small proportion of appointments. I am unable to see how I can legitimate ly be asked to make any exception for South Carolina. In South Carolina to the four most important positions In the State I have appointed three men and continued in office a fourth, all o.-them white men—three of them originally gold Democrats—two of them, as I am informed, the solnrbf Confederate soldiers. I have been’informed by the citizens of Charleston-whom I have met that these four men represent a high grade of public service. “I do not Intend to appoint any unfit men to office So far as I Iegitimatelv can, I shall always endeavor to pay re- i r wIshes an(1 feelings of the people of each locality, but I cannot consent to take the .position that the door °f hope—that the door of oppor- mat»2L L8 t0 shUt upon any man, no matter how worthy, purely upon the grounds of race or color.

Lincolnton, Special.—After haying been in danger of lynching by yiioiis ou ttt least four different oscaslons during his. seved weeks’ confinement in jkil, Calvin jSUiott, Colored, was legally exe cuted; here Tuesday morning shortly before 11 O’clock for a criminal assault upon MrS: Saiefi BrBwri, three miles from here, Oii September 27 last. The negro's nerve did not desert him and after dressing himself he walked to the scaffold, some 25 steps from thejail, and mounted the platform without dis playing any degree of ueasiness. The trap was sprung at 10:35 and life was pronounced extinct 20 minutes later, his neck being broken. In a statement from the Deaffold Elliott said all pres ent knew the cause of his downfall, He had before, on different occasions, ad. mitted hid guilt. Although the tain VaS failing: iiard this morning a crowd of.several'hun- dred people, a large number of whom came from the country, assembled at the jail, but only about 30 men were allowed to witness - the execution. Elliott’s father and brother bade him farewell and left the jail at 10:10 o'clock: Bheriff ,I, K. Gline then entei’- ed the condemned man's cell and. read the depth warrant: Elliott UstenSfeat- tentivrily until the sheriff concluded, when he asked what time the hanging would take place. The sheriff replied: “■Whenever you are ready.” Elliott said: “I will get ready now. I don’t want a large crowd to be here.”Elliott then proceeded to dress him self In a nice black sulc, He appeared clean and neat and told the sheriff that he was ready. He left the cell at 10:31, and walked steadily, though ,with a solemn face, from the jail to the gal lows, a distance of about 25 steps, as cended the steps and stepped upon the trap, accompanied by Sheriff Glinei Jailor Keener and Rev, Wm- Ridhardi a colored Methodist minister from Dal las. When told that he might'talk, he looked over the men before him and said, in a Ibw but distinct tone; “Gentlemen, you know what Krought me here, and I hope you will ail take warning. I hope to meet you In heav en.” AU those in the small house then re moved their hats, while. ReV, Richard offered fi short prayer," Thfe black cap was adjusted, straps buckled around the hegro’s arms, hands and feet and the noose drawn around his neck, He was asked if ready, and said “YeS," when his soul was commended, Ky pis attorney, L. B. Wetmore, to his God. The trap was sprung by Sheriff- Cime at 10:36 and 10:55 he was pronounced dead, exactly, 18 minutes and 50 sec onds after the drop fell. A crack of the rope, a few contractions of the muscles and ail was over. .The execu tion was quick and successful. If could not have bean more expeditious. Not a frown was on his face and he was periectly natural after he was tak en down, Elliott made no confession today, but did so completely on several differ ent occasions during the last few weeks. He said he would not have committed the crime had he not been drunk, and did not remember all that happened that night, but did recall committing the crime, but told how he went in at the window, but did not re member knocking the woman's hus band down. After the negro was pronuonced dead the door of the house was thrown op en and the large crowd which had gathered about the jail was allowed to pass by the door and view the body.'It was taken to a point near Iron Station, this county, where his father and brothers live, for burial. County Physician Costner and Drs. Wise, Sain, Crowell and George Cost ner, of this place, were present at the execution. On Saturday evening, September 27, last, a negro, went to the small cottage of Mr. Caleb Brown, who lives akout three mtleB from Lincolnton, just be fore dark, and stopped at the door where Mr. and Mrs. Brown were sit ting, and asked Mr. Brown to drink with him. The invitation was refused. The negro then we,*it up the road and sat down, but soon returned and insis ted that Brown take a drink, but this waB again declined. -This frightened Mrs. Brown and she and her husband decided to go to a neighbor’s to stay all night. After the negro left the sec ond time, they started, and when about 100 yards from their home they were again approached by the negro and were told to go back home or he would kill them, whereupon they started back to the house of a negro who lived In their,yard, where they stayed until the negro men came home and- after they had eaten supper went with Mr: and Mrp. Brown back home and helped them make a fire for a light and told them to go to bed; that nothing wou.d hurt them. (The negroes who live 4b the yard are Till and Bob Elliofi brothers of the man hanged.) After Till and Bob left Brown barred the one door to the house on the inside and Mrs- Brown and the children were in the hbuse with Brown, who has been an ImebeciIe for several years, from the effect of a kick on the head.' Soon some one appeared at the side window which waB simply a plank shutter tied with a strong on the inside. He came In through the window with aVjsan 07 water, to put out the fire, which he partially succeeded in 'doing. Ifc then knocked Brown down with a piece of wood and struck Mrs. Brown with his fist and/dragged her in the back room.' Although she continued to scream, hr did, not leave until he heard some one eomlng on the outside. - **«*»»•**** GOOD R O A D S r t Farmers and Gofld !loads* HE advocates of good roads will find plenty of arguments in tile recent report of the In dustrial Coriiinissiob ou the marketing arid distribution of farming InwIuct s.- This report shows the .value Of good country roads and tiic iunneuse ho effected through IttETBODIST MINISTERS ASSIGNED. saving that Could be effected tbrougi them: it also furnishes arguments m favor Of the cOnStrtictiou. Of electric lines through the farming sections os! the country,- not only for the hauling of passengers; but for the hauling of freight. The report shows that the cost 6'f hauling farm products over country roads is $900,000,000 a year, or more than the entire cost of operating all the railways in the Liiiicd States. The total Operating expenses of railroads is osti-. inated at only $18,000,000 annually. The average haul Ic the nearest shipping Station in tlic- transportation of farm products is twelve miles.- arid the aver age cost is twenty-five cents a ton a mild: Or $3-a tori for the twelve miles. By comparing this tori mile cost with the average ton mile revenue Of the railroads in Uie country, which amounts to seven mills a mile, the im mense opportuniiy for saving that would be effected through good roads may readily be seen; if fariri products could be hauled to market at Severi mills a ton mile, as is the case with j railway traffic,' the entire^ charge for ; transportation would be less than $20,- I 000,000, as compared wit!I the' $900,* 000,000 it costs the farmers to haul their products over ordinary roads. The building of good roads and the construction of .electric lines will mean an enormous saving to the farming classes', Some of the advocates of good roads believe that the two. COrild be constructed jointly, as the cost would he proportionately less for ihe building of good tvagori foads,- Wiiicb could also be used for electric railway*, Theso electric railways could be constructed through those sections of the farming Community which would offer the best possibilities in the Way of freight and passenger traffic returns, and Wagon roads could be built connecting these with all sections of the country. The farmer who did not live on the direc-t line of an electric railway could haul his freight to the nearest point, where it could be quickly transferred to an electric train. That this possibility is fully realized by the builders Of eieetric railways is shown by the rapid development that these lines are making as freight car riers. Throughtout the country they ; are extending their lines into new terri-! tory and standardizing equipment and ! roadbeds in order to provide for the hauling of the heaviest freight. It is said by James J. Hill that trunk lines as at present constituted are capable of handling from three to five times the amount of traffic they now carry. To parallel existing lines would, there fore, be impracticable and unprofitable. Leaving out of consideration the almost insurmountable difficulties the new companies would encounter in attempt ing to secure suitable right of way with adequate terminals In any of'the larger cities, it is certain that no bank ing house would consider for a mo ment the Underwriting .of the securi ties of any proposed company parallel ing existing lines. .. The field of the electric railway is not in paralleling, but in supplement ing, the stpam railroad systems of the country,. It has been pointed out in the Commercial that electric railways have materially lessened the number of passengers carried by steam railways, and that more and more of the short haul passenger business is going to the more cheaply constructed and more cheaply operated electrie lines. This competition is welcomed by the steam railways. A similar situation exists in regard to freight traffic. The steam railroads of the nited States would wel come any addition to transportation facilities which would result in the Centralizing of traffic nt shippjng points by a' more economical method than the present cumbersome one of hauling it In wagons over country roads. Electric railways can be made feeders for the steam railroads, and if built with due i-egard to the avoiding of competition they will supplement and increase the traffic of the steam railways without In any way lnterfei*ing with the earn ings of the latter.—New York Commer cial Advertiser.

NOV WoAesrI A & A nervous, irritable mother, often on the verge of hysterics, is unfit to care for children: it l-nins a child’s disposition and reacts upon herself. The trouble between children and their m others too often is clue to the fact th at the m other has sonie female weakness, and she is entirely unfit to bear the strain upon her nerves that governing a child involves: it is impossible for Iier to do anything calmly. She cannot help it, as her condition is due to suffering and" shattered nerves caused by some derangem ent of the uterine, system w ith backache, headache, and all kinds of pain, and she is on the verge of nervous prostration. W hen a m other finds th at she cannot be calm aud quiet w ith her children, she may be sure th at her condition needs attention, and she can not do better than to take Ijydia E . Finhliam ’s Vegetable Compound. This medicine will build up Iier system, strengthen her nerves, and enable her to calmly Iiandle a disobedient child without- a scene. The children will soon realize the difference, and seeing their m other quiet, will themselves become quiet. M r s . M a y B r o w n , o f C h ic a g o , III., s a y s : / 4t Bear 3Jrs.

T here is, h e continued, no greater evil in th e S tate th an those little copper distilleries scattered about through the country w here police regulation is im possible.

Besides m any of them have become recruiting stations for the Republican p arty . In large m eas ure, they are underm inding the w ork of Schools an d churches in th e com m unities. If liquor is perm itted to be m an ufactured- only in incorporated towns, he said th e distilleries can be subjected to rig id police relagu- tions and th e evil of the business w ould be largely dim inished. A t an y rate, he said they ought to be adequately taxed by the State and no retail establishm ent ought to be allowed in connection w ith a distil lery. for a large p art of the evil of these concerns grow o u t of a retail house which is alm ost universally ru n in connection w ith them . If the L egislature shall determ ine to confine th e sale and m anufacture of w hiskey to incorporated towns, each tow n should by general law be given an opportunity to vote for prohibition or a dispensary, so th a t th e continuance of the trafic in each com m unity would be m ade to depend npou th e m ajority vote of th a t com m unity. O f course this general law should be so fram ed as not to require a vote in towns where prohibition or a dispensary already exists.

To tire Senate and House of Represen- tatives: We still continue in a period of un bounded prosperity. This prosperity is not the creature of law, but undoubt edly the laws under which we work have been instrumental in creating the conditions which made it possible, and by unwise legislation it would be easy enough to destroy it. There will undoubtedly be periods of depression. The wave will recede; but the tide will advance. This Nation is seated on a continent flanked by two great oceans. It is composed of men the descendants of pioneers, or, in a sense, pioneers themselves; of men winnowed out from among the na tions of the Old World by the energy, boldness, and love 01 adventure found in their own eager hearts. Such a na tion, so placed, will surely wrest suc cess ::rom fortune. As a people we have played a large part in the world, and we arc bent upou making our future even larger than the past. In particular, the cveara of the last four years have dednilelv decided that, for woe or for weal, our place must be great among the na tions. We may either fail greatly or succeed greatly; but we can not avoid the endeavor from which either great failure or great success must come. Kven if we would,, we can not .play a small part. If we should try* all that would follow would be that we should play a large part ignobly and shame fully. But our people, the sons of the men Cf the Civil War, the sons of the men who had iron in their blood, rejoice in the present and face the ..future high of heart and resolute Of --Vflllt. Ours is not the creed of the weakling and the coward; ours is the gospel of hope and of triumphant endeavor.^ We ao not shrink from the struggle be fore us. There are many problems for us tc face at the outset of the twen tieth century—grave problems abroad and still graver at home; but we know that w3 can solve them and solve them well, provided only that we bring to the solution the qualities of head and heart which were shown by the men who, in the days of Wash ington, founded this Government, and, in the days of Lincoln, preserved it. No country has ever occupied higher plane of material well-being than ours at the present moment. This well-being is due to no sudden or ac- < idental causes, but to the play of the economic forces in this country for over a century; to our laws, our sus tained and continuous ^policies; above all, to the high individual average of our citizenship. Great fortunes have been won by those who have taken the lead in this phenomenal industrial development, and most of these for tunes have been won not by doing evil, but as an incident to action which has benefited the community whole. Never before has material well-being been so widely diffused nmong our people. Great fortunes have been accumulated, and yet in IJie aggregate these fortunes are smali indeed when compared to the wealth of the people as a whole. The plain people are better off than they have ever been before. The insurance com panies, which are practically mutual benefit societies—especially helpful to men of moderate means—represent accumulations of capital which are among the largest in this country. There are more deposits in the sav ings banks, more owners of farms, more well-paid wago-workers in this country now than ever before in our history. Of course, when the condi tions have favored the growth of so much that was good,* they hav.e also favored somewhat the growth of what was evil. It is eminently necessary that we should endeavor to cut out this evil, but let us keep a due sense of proportion; let us not in fixing ouv gaze upon the lesser evil forget the greater good. The evils are real and some of them are menacing, but they are the outgrowth, not of misery or decadence, but of prosperity—of the progress of our gigantic industrial de velopment. This industrial develop ment must not be checked, but side by side with it should go such pro gressive regulation as will diminish the evils. We should fail in our duty 3? we did not try to remedy the evils, but we shall succeed only if we pro ceed patiently, with practical common sense as well as resolution, separating the good from the bad and bolding on to the former while endeavoring to get rid of the latter. TRUSTS. In my Message to the pres ent Congress at its first base of civilization is the inviolability of property; but this is in no wise inconsistent with the right of society to regulate the exercise of the artifi cial powers which it confers upon the owners of property, under the name of corporate franchises, in such a way as to prevent the misuse of these powers. Corporations,' and especially combinations of corporations, should be managed. under public regulation. ICxperience has shown that under our system of government the necessary supervision can not be obtained by State action. It must therefore be achieved by national action. Our aim is not to do away with corporations; on the contrary, these big aggregation:’- are an inevitable development of modern industrialism, and the ef fect tp destroy them would be futile unless accomplished In ways that would work the utmost mischief to the entire body politic. We can do nothing of good in the way of regulating and supervising these corporations until we fix clearly in our minds that we are not attacking the corporations, but endeavoring to do away with any evil in them. We are not hostile to them; we are merely determined that they shall bo so handled as to sub-, serve the public good. We draw the line against misconduct, not against wealth. The capitalist who, alone or In conjunction with the fellows, performs some great industrial feat by which he wins money is a welldoer, not a wrongdoer, provided only he works in proper and legitimate lines. We wish to favor such a man when he does well. We wish to supervise and coDtrol his actions only to prevent him from doing ill. Publicity can do no harm to the honest corporation; ond i we need not be overtender about sparing the dishonest corporation. In curbing and regulating the com binations of capital which are or may become injurious to the public we must be careful not to stop the great enterprises which have legitimately reduced.the cost of production, net to abandon the place which our coun try has won in the leadership of the international industrial world, not to strike down wealth with the result of closing factories and mines, of turn ing the wage-worker idle in the streets and leaving the farmer without a market for what he grows. Insistence upon the impossible means delay in achieving the possible, exactly as, on the other hand, the stubborn defense alike of wbat is good and what is bad in the existing system, the resolute effort to obstruct any attempt at betterment, betrays blindness to the his toric truth that wise evolution is the sure safeguard against revolution. No more important subject can .come before the Congress than this of the regulation of interstate busi ness. This country can not afford to sit supine on the plea that under ou peculiar system of government we are helpless in the presence of the new conditions, and unable to grapple with them or to cut out whatever of evil has arisen in connection wKn them. The power of the Congress to regulate interstate commerce is an absolute and unqualified grant, and without limitations other than those prescribed by the Constitution. The Congress has constitutional authority to make all laws necessary and proper for executing this power, ana I am satisfied that this power has uot been exhausted by any legislation now on the statute books. It is evident therefore, that evils restrictive of com mercial freedom and entailing re straint upon national commerce falJ within the regulative power of the Congress, and that a wise and reason able law would be a necessary and proper exercise of Congressional au thority to the end that such evils should be eradicated. I believe that monopolies, unjust discriminations, which prevent or cripple competition, fraudulent over capitalization, and other evils in trust organizations and practices which in juriously affect interstate trade can be prevented under the power of the Congress to “regulate commerce wit.: foreign nations and among the sev eral States” through regulations and requirements operating directly upon such commerce, the instrumentalities been the reduction of the tariff as a means of reaching, the evils of the trusts which fall within the category I have described. Not merely woulu this be wholly ineffective, but cue diversion of our efforts in such a direction would mean the abandon ment of all intelligent attempt to do away with these evils. Many of tnc largest corporations, many of those which should certainly “ bb included in any proper scheme of regulation, would not be affected in the slightest degree by a change in the tariff, save as' such change interfered with toe general prosperity of the country. The only relation of the tariff to big cor porations as a whole is that the tanu makes manufactures profitable, anu the tariff remedy proposed u;ould be in effect simply to make manufac tures unprofitable. To remove the tariff as a punitive measure directed against trusts would inevitably resuit in ruin to the weaker competitors who are struggling against them. Our aim should be not by unwise tariff changes to give foreign products the advan tage over domestic products, but by proper regulation to give domestic competition a fair chance; and this end can not be reached-by any tariff changes which would affect unfavorably all domestic competitors, good and bad aJike. The question of regula tion of the trusts stands apart from the question of tariff revision.Stability of economic policy must always be the prime economic need of this country. This stability should not be fossilization. Tne country has acquiesced in the wisdom of the pro- tective-tariff principle. It is exceed ingly undesirable that this system should be destroyed or that there should be violent and radical changes therein. Onr past experience shows that great prosperity in this country has always come under a protective tariff, and that the country cau not prosper under fitful tariff changes a* short intervals. Moreover, if the tariff laws as a whole work well, and if business has prospered under them and is prospering, it is better to endure ior a time slight inconveniences and inequalities in some schedules than to upset business by too quick and too radical changes. It is most earnestly to be wished that we could treat the tariff from the standpoint solely of our business needs. It is, per haps, too much to hope that partisan ship may be entirely excluded from consideration of the subject, but at least it can be made secondary to the business interests of the country— that is, to the interests of our people as a whole. Unquestionably these business interests will best be served if together with fixity of principle as regards the tariff ve combine a system which will permit us from time to time to make the necessary reapplication of the principle to the shifting national needs. We must take scrupulous care that the reapplication shall be made in such a way that it will not amount to a dislocation of our system, the mere threat of which (not to speak of the performance) would produce paralysis in the business energies of the community. The first consideration in making these changes would, of course, be to preserve the principle which underlies our whole tariff sys tem—that is, the principle of putting American Business interests at least on a full equality with interests abroad, and of always allowing a suffi cient rate of duty to more than cover the difference between the labor cost here and abroad. The well-being of the wage-worker, like the well-being of the tiller of the soil, should be treated as an essential in shaping our whole economic policy. There must never be ;any change which will jeopardize the standard of comfort, the standard of wages of the American wage-worker. One way in which the readjustment sought can be reached is by reciproci ty treaties. It is greatly to be desirea that such treaties may be adopted. They can. be used to widen our mar kets and to give a greater field for the activities of our producers on the one hand, and on the other hand to secure in practical shape the lowering of duties when they are no longer need ed for protection among our own peo ple, or when the minimum of damage dene may be disregarded for the sake of the maximum of good accom plished. If it prove impossible to rati fy the pending treaties, and if there seem to be no warrant for the en deavor to execute others, or to amend the pending treaties so that they can be ratified, then the same end—to secure reciprocity—should be met by direct legislation. Wherever the tariff conditions are such that a needed change can not with advantage be made by the ap plication of the reciprocity idea, then it can be made outright by a. lowering of duties on a given product. If possible, such change should be made only after the fullest considera tion by practical experts, who should approach the subject from a business standpoint, having in view both the particular interests affected and the commercial well-being of the people as a whole. The machinery for pro viding such careful investigation can readily be supplied: The executive de partment has, already -at its disposal methods of collecting facts and figures; and if the Congress desires additional consideration to that which will be given the subject by its own committees, then a commission of busi ness experts can be appointed whose duty it should be to recommend action by the Congress after a deliberate and scientific examination of the various schedules as they are affected by the changed and changing conditions. The NATIONAL BANK& ; Interest rates are a patent faetor in business activity, and in order that these rates may be equalized to meet the varying needs of the seasons ana of Vfidely separated communities,and to prevent the recurrence of finan cial stringencies which injuriously affect legitimate business. it is neces sary that there should be an element of elasticity in our monetary system. Banks are the natural servants of. commerce, and upon them shouid. be placed, as far as practicable; toe bur den of furnishing and maintaining ' circulation adequate to supply the needs of our diversified industries and of our domestic and foreign co“ * merce; and toe issue of this should be so regulated that a sufficient sup plv should be always available for the business interests of the county. P It would be both unwise and unj necessary at this time to attempt tc reconstruct our financial system which has been- the growth of a century; but some additional legislation is, *1 think, desirable. The mere out line of any plan sufficiently compre hensive to meet these requirements! would transgress the appropriate limltsl of this communication. It is suggested, however, that all future legislation on the subject should be with the view of encouraging the use of such in strumentalities. as will automatically supply every legitimate demand of jjroductive industries and of commerce, not only in .the amount, but i** the character of circulation; and of making all kinds of , money inter changeable, and, at the will of the holder, convertible into the estab lished gold standard.I again call your attention to the need of passing a proper immigration law, covering the points outlined in my Message to you at the first session of the present Congrdss; substantially such a bill has already passed the House. * LABOR AND CAPITAL. How to secure fair treatment alike for labor and-for capital, how to hold in check the unscrupulous man, whether employer or employee, with out weakening individual initiative, without hampering and,, cramping the industrial development of the coun try. is a problem fraught with great difficulties and one which it is of the highest importance, to solve on lines of sanity and far-sighted common sense as well as of devotion to the right. This is an era of federation and combination. Exactly as business men find they must often work through corporations, and as it is a constant '$2n<l|entey of these corporations to grow larger, so it js often necessary for laboring men to work in federa tions, and these have become im portant factors of modern industrial life. Both kinds of federation, capi talistic and labor, can do much good, and as necessary corollary they can both do evil. Opposition to each kind of organization should take the form of opposition to whatever is bad in the conduct of any given corporation or union—not of attacks upon cor porations as such nor upon unions as such; for some of the*most far-reach ing beneficent work for our people has been accomplished through both corporations and unions. Each must re frain from arbitrary or tyrannous in terference with the rights of others. Organized capital and organized labor alike should remember that in the long run the interest of each must be brought into harmony with the interest of the general public; and the con duct *of each must conform to the fundamental rules of obedience to the law, of individual freedom, and eiidbw tbs department ,WitU large powers, whleh coiild Be increased a-- experience might show the nee'L RECIPROCITY WITH CUBA.

So much have our peo ple felt this that in the Platt amend- ment we definitely took the ground that Cuba must, hereafter have closer political relations with us than wit,, any other power. Thus in a sense Cuba has become thereof, and those engaged therein, I earnestly recommend this subject to the consideration of the Congress -------------- — -----------------with a view to the passage of a law unhurried and unbiased report of this ieasonable in its provisions and e£- : 11 ffective in its operations, upon which the questions can be finally adjudi- I cated that now raise doubts as to the 1 necessity of constitutional aineud- . ment. If it prove impossible to ac complish the purposes abovesion I discussed at IengtL forth by such a law, then, assuredly, the-question of the'regulation of those {,we should not shrink from amending big corporations commonly doing an , the Constitution so'as to secure be- interstate business, often with some 1 yond peradventure the power sought, tendency to monopoly, which a re.

The cases in which the tariff can produce a monopoly are so tew as to constitute an inconsiderable factor in the question; but of course if In any case it bo found that a given rate of duty does promote a monopoly which works ill, no protectionist would ob ject to such reduction of the duty on would equalize competition, ' In my judgment, the tariff on an thracite coal should be removed, and anthracite put actually, where it now nominally, on the free list. Thispcnded under Ihq direction of the At-1 would have no effect at all save ir. •' crises; but in crises it might be of advocated has service to the people. of justice' and fair dealing toward all. Each should remember that in.adfii tion to power it must strive after the realization of healthy," lofty, and gen erous ideals. Every employer, every wage-worker, must be guaranteed his liberty and his right to do as he likes with his property or his labor so long as he does not infringe upon the rights of others. It is of the highest importance that employer and em ployee alike should endeavor'to ap preciate each the viewpoint of the other and the sure disaster that wiii come upon both in the long run cither grows to take as habitual an at titude of sour hostility and distrus toward the other. Few people deserve better of the country than those representatives both of capital and labor—and there are many such— who work continually to bring about a good understanding of this kind, based upon wisdom and upon broad and kindly sympathy between em ployers and employed. Above all, we need to remember that any kind of class animosity in the political world is, if possible, even more wicked, even more destructive to national wel fare, than sectional, race, or religious animosity. We can get good govern ment only upon condition that w keep true to the principles upon whic] this Nation was founded, and judge each man not as a part of a class, bin upon hls_ individual merits. AU that we have‘a right to ask of any man, rich or poor, whatever his creed, his occupation, his. birthplace, or his residence, is that he shall act weli and honorably by his neighbor and by his country. We are neither for the rich man as such nor for the poor man as such; we are for the upright man, rich or poor. So far as. the con stitutional powers of the National Government touch these matters of general and vital moment to'the Na tion, they should be exercised in con formity with the principles above set forth. ‘ NEW CABINET OFFICER. It is earnestly hoped that a secre tary of commerce may be created, with a seat in the Cabinet. The rapid multiplication of questions affecting labor and capital, the growth and com plexity of the organizations through, which both labor and capital now find expression, the steady tendency to ward the employment of capital in huge corporations, and the wonderful strides of this country toward leader ship in the international business world justify an urgent- demand for the creation of such a position. Sub stantially all the leading commercial bodies In this country have united in requesting its creation. It is desirable that some such measure as that which has already passed the Senate be en acted into law. The creation of such a department would In itself be an advance toward'dealing with and ex ercising supervision over the whole subject of the- great corporations do ing an interstate business; and with this end in view, the Congress should __ .(Toinbia to secure her assent to our building the canal. This canal will be one of the greatest engineering feats of the twentieth century; a greater engineering feat than has yet been accomplished during the history of mankind: The work should be car ried out as a continuing policy ■ with out regard to change of Administra tion;, and it should be begun under circumstances which will m ake, it a matter of pride for all Administra tions to continue the policy. The canal will be of great benefit to America, and of importance to all the world. It will be of advantage to us industrially and also as improving ouv military position. It will be of ad vantage to the countries of tropical America. It is earnestly to be hoped that all of these countries will do as some of them have already done with signal success, and will invite to their shores commerce and improve their material conditions by recognizing that stability and order are the prere quisites of successful development. No independent nation in America need have the slightest fear of aggression from, the United States. It behooves each one to maintain order within its own borders, and to discharge its just obligations to foreigners. When this is done, they can rest assured that, befitbey strong or weak, they have nothing to dread from outside inter ference. More and more the increasing interdependence and complexity or international political and economic relations render it incumbent on all civilized and orderly powers to in sist" on the proper policing of the world. Arbitration between the United States and the foreign powers is re commended where possible. The army has been reduced to the minimum allowed by law. It is small for so large a nation. We can take pride in both our officers and enlisted men. It is urged that the necessary ap propriations be made for the con tinuance of the naval manoeuvres. Also, that the necessary officers should be provided for the proper oversight of the enlisted men. PACIFIC CABLE. During the fall of 1901 a communica tion was addressed to the Secretary of State, asking whether permission would be granted by the President to a corporation to lay a cable from point on the California coast to the Philippine Islands by way of Hawaii. A statement of conditions or terms upon which such corporation would undertake to lay and operate a cable was volunteered. Speaking further the President says his action in the Pacific Cable matter has. been deferred till the meeting of Congress. ■ CIVIL SERVICE. Gratifying progress has been made (luring the year in the extension of the merit system of making appointments In the Government service. It should be extended by law to the District of Columbia. It is much to be desired that our consular system be establish ed by law on a basis providing for ap pointment and promotion only in con sequence of proved fitness.. IRRIGATION. The message suggests the reclama tion of the arid lands by irrigation and also the protection of game. PORTO RICO. Of Porto Rico it is only necessary to say that the prosperity-of the island and the wisdom with which it has been governed have been such as to make it serve as an example of all that is best in insular administration. In dealing with the Indians our aim should be to . absorb them into , the body politiel A lafge amount Of educational work must be done among them. Continuing the President . argues that irrigated land should provide the former with a never failing source of revenue. PHILIPPINE ISLANDS. On July.4 last, on the one hundred and twenty-sixth anniversary of the declaration'of our independence, peace and amnesty were promulgated in the Philippine Islands. Some trouble has since from- time to time threatened with the Mohammedan Moros, bu! with the late insurrectionary Filipino: the- vtar has entirely ceased. Civil government has now be«“ ' duced, Not only does each Filipino enjOv SfiCh rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as 6- ha., never before kflbwfl during tne re- corded history of the island®#'»ut to* people taken as a v/hole no yr enjoy a measure of self-government greater than that granted to any) other Orientals by any foreign power ana greater than that enjoyed by an> other Orientals under their own gov ernments, save the Japanese alone. We have not.gone too far In granting these rights of liberty and self-government; but we have certainly gone to the limit that in the interests of toe Philippine people themselves it was wise or just to go. To hurry matters, to go faster than we are now going, would entail calamity on the people of the islands. No policy ever entereu into by the American people has vin dicated itself in more signal manner than the policy of holding the Philip pines. The triumph of our arms, above all the triumph of our laws and prin ciples, has come sooner than we had Lny right to expect. Too much traise can not be given to the •mv for what it has done in the Philippines both in warfare and 'rom an administrative standpoint i preparing the way for civil govern- _ent; and similar credit belongs to the :ivil authorities for the way in which jhey have planted the seeds of self- government in the ground thus made Feady for them. The courage, the unf linching endurance, the high soldierly •fficiency, and the general kind-heart- dness and humanity of our troop® ave been strikingly manifested. There iow remain only some fifteen thousand roops in the islands.- AU told, over ne hundred thousand have been sent here. Of course, there have been indi- idual instances of wrongdoing among hem. They warred under fearful Qiffi- ulties of climate and surroundings; nd under the strain of the terrible irovocations which they continually ;eceived from their foes, occassional tstances of cruel retaliation occurred, very effort has been made to prevent ch cruelties, and finally these efforts ive been completely successful. Every 'ort has also been made to detest and jnish the wrongdoers. After making ,1 allowance for these misdeeds, it ■mains true that few indeed .have igtLthe instances in which war has been waged by a civilized power against semicivilized or barbarous for ces where there has been so little wrongdoing by the victors as in the Philippine Islands. On the other hand the amount of difficult, important, and beneficent work which has been done is well-nigh incalculable. Taking the work of the Army and the civil authorities together, it may be questioned whether anywhere else In modern times the world has seen a better example of real constructive statesmanship than our people have given in the Philippine Islands. High praise should also be given those Fili pinos, in the aggregate very numerous, who have accepted the new conditions and joined with our representatives to work with hearty good will lor the well-fare of the islands.The question of Alaska occupies a well written paragraph of the mes sage. in which are a number of good suggestions.SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION.

The recommendation for toe en actment of laws for the protection of railway employes is concise and pointed. THE POSTAL DEPARTMENT. The striking increase in the revenues. of the Post-Office Department shows clearly the prosperity of our people and the increasing activity of the business of the country.The receipts of the Post-Office De partment for the fiscal year ending June 30 last amounted to $121,848,047. ‘26, an increase of $10,216,853.87 over the preceding year, the largest increase known in the history of the postal ser vice. The magnitude of this increase will best appear from toe fact that the entire postal receipts for the year 1860 amounted to but $8,518,uo7. Rural free-delivery service is no longer in the experimental stage; it has become a fixed policy. The results following its introduction have fully justified the Congress in the large ap propriations made for its establish ment and extension. The average yearly increase in post-office receipts in the rural districts of the country Is about two per cent. We are now able, by actual results, to show that where rural free-deltvery service has been es tablished to such an extent as to en able us to make comparisons the year ly increase has been upward of ten per cent. On November I, 1902, 11,650 rural free-delivery routes had been estab lished and were, in operation, covering about one-third of the territory or the United States available for rural free- delivery service. There are now awaiting the action of the Department petitions and applications for the es tablishment of 10,748 additional routes. This shows conclusively the want which the establishment of the service has met and the need of further ex tending it as rapidly.as possible. It is justified both by the financial results and by the practical benefits to our rural population; it brings the men who live on the soil into ciose rela tions with the active business world; it keeps the farmer in daily touch with the markets; it is a potential educa tional force; it enhances the value of farm property, makes farm life far pleasanter and less isolated, and. will do much to check the undesirable cur rent from country to city. It is to be hoped that the Congress w iirm ake liberal “appropriations for the continuance of the service already established and for its further exten sion. DEATH OF MR.

The end was tragically sudden. Mr. Buck was the guest of the Emperor in a duck hunt on the Shin- hama preserves. A bird had been netted and the minister, with a jocu lar remark, started to reset the net. Suddenly he fell and without a word or groan expired instantly. He had suitef- ed from a weak heart for some time. Mrs. Buck was not with the party. Mr. Buck was held in high esteem in Japan and the flags on government buildings have been placed at hall mast. The funeral has Leer, set for Monday. Secretary J. M. Ferguson is in charge of the legation. Washington, Special—When the President comes to take up the ques tion of the succession to the vacancy caused by the death of Minister Buck, at Tokio, it is understeod he will name John Barrett, of Oregon, at present commissioner general of the St. Louk Exposition to Asia and Australia, to be minister. Mr. Barrett is now somewhat in the neighborhood of the Straits Settle ments. He has been working to secure a good Asiatic representation at the St. Loiiis Exposition and his oftorts have been attended with success, for he has induced both China and Japan to embark upon large governmental exhibits when they had decided not to be represented in that way. He is now bound for Australia, where It is his hope to change the mind of the Premi ers in Australia and New Zealand, and cause them to reconsider their purpose to allow the exposition to go on with out exhibits from their colonies.

Increased Consumption and Demand Crotring Out of Prosperone Conditione ‘I10 Cbier Canee of Advanced Bates —High Prices, Good Times. There are two Democratic assump tions, both false, upon which the bulk of their campaign arguments are based. One of these assumptions is that the prevailing high price of arti- c-ies of all descriptions is due to the ac tion of the trusts, which have deliber ately advanced prices foi the purpose of reaping extraordinary profits from, the necessities of the consumers. The’ other assumption^ is that the trusts have been able to advance prices and to maintain them at a high level through the protection which the pres ent tariff laws afford the American manufacturer from foreign competition. If these assumptions were eorrect It would necessarily be found that the advance in prices is confined to arti cles in the manufacture of which the' trusts were conspicuous, and to such articles alone as were produced In the United States and protected fr'Om com petition in this market by tke'present tariff laws. Leaving entirely to one side for the present consideration of the fact that the most conspicuous advances in price have been of farm products, which are certainly not controlled by any trust, it is found that the advance In prices generally is nearly uniform on all articles of general use, and this without regard to whether they are of natural growth or are manufactured, or whether they are home products or are imported from abroad. In a recent bulletin of the Treasury Department on the “Movements of Trices From IStO to 1901,” can be found tlie wholesale prices for various- articles in common use; The following: give some fluctuations In prices of arti cles which are on the free list, and the price of wiiich is consequently unaf fected by the tariff: Coffee, Hio Standard.

January. 1897...:!.............80Same, January, 19Q0 ........'.............1.08 Of ail the articles named the only one whieh by any stretch of tlie imag ination can be called ;a “trust pro duct? is refined kerosene. The price of refined kerosene, the trust product. It will be seen, has advanced in almost precisely the same ratio as the price of crude kerosene, which is sold by the producer to the trust. Of other products in this line the i largest advances recorded are of tropi cal and semi-tropical products, which are not produced in the! United States, such, for example, as sisa! hemp, jute and raw silk. Tin shows a startling ad vance in price, and yet tin is not only on the free list, but is not produced in the United States in appreciable, quan tities. The advance in the price of tin. plate in this country is credited in Democratic arguments to the machin ations of the trust, aided by the tariff. Yet the advance In the price of tin plate is nothing like so great In propor tion as the advance In bar tin, con trolled by no trust and affected by no tariff. Simple truth is that the advance in prices of all articles of common use, home made or imported; of trust man ufacture or made by the independent concern; produced on the farm or made In the mill; protected or unprotected, can all be credited to one controlling cause; the increased consumption, due to the prosperous condition of our peo ple, which increased consumption has stimulated production as well as ad vanced prices. We can get rid of trusts and also of high prices by the Democratic expe dient of killing off the tariff and clos ing the factories, thus cutting off wages and consumption together. We know this can be done again, because it was done in 1893.—Seattle Post-In telligencer. ,W E B S T E R 'S , ‘ asiFssf10? 81 d ic tio n a r y | Tjji* a ’ 'osraPflL Geography, Fiction, etc. Slandard Authority. so. 48, Iff W*ft?

Second Day—The House .was in ses sion an hour and forty minutes. One hour of that time was consumed in the reading of the President’s ' message. The reading was listened to with at tention by members without regard to party, but without demonstration, ex cept at the conclusion of the reading, when the Republicans applauded gen erously. Mr. Cannon, chairman of the com mittee on appropriations, gave notice that the bill to defray the expenses of the Coal Strike Commission would be called up tomorrow. The deaths of the late Representative De Graffenreid and Sheppard, of Texas, which occurred during the recess, were announced and after adopting the customary re solutions of regret, the House adjourn ed as et further mark of respect to their memories. Third Day.—The House passed the bill to appropriate $50,000 to defray the expenses of the Anthracite Coal Strike Commission and then ad journed until Friday, when the Lon don dock charges bill will be consid ered. There were two hours of dis cussion on the commission bill, during which the President’s course in creat ing the commission was highly com menced, except by Mr. Penton, a Mis souri Democrat, who contended that the commission was created without authority of law 0? constitution. There was some Criticism of the feature of the bill allowing double salaries to members of the commission now in government employ and because the bill left the amount of the compensation of the members, to the President But all amendments were voted down and the bill was passed without di-1 vision. Fourth Day—The House had the con sideration of a number of anti-trust bills under way. The bill3 with amend ments were referred. Fifth Day—The House devoted the; day to the consideration of bills on the private calendar. The most im=i portant bill passed was one to adju; dicate in the Court of Claims the claints of certain importers iOf Steel blooms, who, between 1879 and 1882, paid customs duties equivalent to 45 per cent, ad valorem, when it is claim ed the correct rate should have been 30 per cent. The sum involved is about $350,000. A bill was passed authorizing the following persons to accept presents and decorations from foreign govern ments: Captain B. H. McGalla, U. S. N., Doctors Eugene Wasdin and H. B. Geddings, U. S. N., H. S.; Henry E. Al ford, W. A. Taylor, H. W. Wiley, M. A. Carleton and John I. Shultz, of the Department of Agriculture; John A. Okerman, of the Mississippi river com mittee; Casper S. Crowninshield, Unit ed States .commercial agent; Miss Anna Tolman Smith and Lieutenant C. F. H. Phipps. SENATE. Second Day—Interest in the session of the Senate was heightened by the fact that the PresidenCs message to Congress would be read and also that General Russell A. Alger,! of Michigan, former Secretary of War under Presi dent McKinley, would be sworn in to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Senator McMillan. His desk and chair were hidden beneath a mass of flowers, and as he took his seat, he was sur rounded by a number of his colleagues who extended hearty congratulations. In the gallery were a number of Gen eral Alger’s personal friends and mem bers of bis family. One hour and fifteen minutes were consumed in reading the message. From the printed copies which had been placed on the desk of each Senator they were enabled to follow every word as it was uttered. Almost the en tire Republican representation were in their seats, while not more than half of the seats of the Democratic side were occupied. The closest attention was paid to the message as it was being read, and frequently Senators would confer regarding some particular por tion of it which had attracted their particular notice. A number of bills and resolutions were introduced following a brief exe cutive session. The resignation of Rev. Mr. Milburn, the blind chaplain of the Senate, who has served in this capaci ty for so long, was received with gen uine regret. He had become a familiar figure in that body and had made it a practice to become personally acquain ted with every Senator.. No action was taken on the resignation. Third Day.—The Smiate began the real work of disposing of the business before it, although the session lasted blit an hour and a half. When an ad journment was taken at 1:30 o’clock out of respect to' the memory of Representatives De Graffenreld 'and Sheppard, of Texas, the bill to amend the .immigration laws was under con sideration. Fourth Day—The day’s session was devpid of interest. A few bills were introduced and a brief executive ses sion held. Fifth D ay-The Senate was in open session but ten minutes, then went into executive session, after which it ad journed. New Trial For Powers. Frankfort, Ky., Special.—The Ap pellate Court awarded a new trial to Caleb Powers, who was convicted in the Gobel murder conspiracy and sen tenced to life imprisonment. Thfe opin ion by Judge O’Rear, granting Powers a new trial is based mainly upon the refusal of Judge Cantrill to vacate tbe bench on affidavits filed by the defence, charging the court with being prejudiced against the defendant The three Democratic judges dissented. Becker Acquitted. New York, Special.—Wm. Beeker, who was arrested several weeks ago in the postofflce, charged with sending blackmailing letters to merchants in this city, demanding, on pain of death at the hands of Nihilists, was acquitted Judge Newburger taking the case from the jury and ordering his dis- discharge. Tbe prisoner convinced tbe court that be was not guilty of send ing the letters and had received them at the postofflce for another man.

A “ I was certainly glad .to find that within a week I felt much better, the terrible pains in my back and side were beginning to cease,'and at the time of menstruation I did not have nearly as serious a time as heretofore, so I continued- its use for two months, and at the end'of that time I was like a new woman.

As State Tsx Commission Thsy will Hake a Series of Saggestions to ths 1903 Gen eral Assembly as to Reuenue Hon. Franklin McNeill, Chair man of the North Carolina Corpor ation Commission, gave to the pres* yesterday a synopsisof the recom mendations which the Cointnission will make to the next Ceneral As sembly as embraced in their forth coming biennial report. The Rec ommendations given out are prin cipally with regard to changes in the tax iate aad the system gener ally. The .Cuinmissiou will recom mend the increase of personal prop erty exemptions from $25 to $300 and that the law be changed so that the poll tax for State and coun ty purposes shall not exceed $ 2 per capita, and that no poll tax shall be levied for municipal purposes. Another important recommenda tion is that the rate of taxation for State and connty purposes combin' ed be limited to 6 6 2-3 cents on the $ 1 0 0 valuation, and that the muni cipal tax rate be so limited that the combined rate of State, connty and municipal tax shall not exceed # 1 on the $ 1 0 0 valuation, There w illalsobea recommen dation that there be no advalorem tax for State and pension purposes^ and iu lieu theieof a tax ba levied on monies, franchises and some busiuess licenses, such, for ins tance, as the liquor traffic. There will be a further recom mendation that the taxes for rev enue to support the schools and for county aud mnnicip.il purpose! be derived from a general property tax aud that Ihe tax now levied on trades and professions aud busi ness licenses be divided between the counties and mnuicipalities, The general report of^tlie^Com- .atfjMdw the hands’ of the printers, and will coutain the iisu- al general, tajjjes and. general statis IicS for>4ictf thesereports Have a reputation for remarkable completex.i ‘ •nees. .. EX CONFEDERATES. The list of Confederate pension ers for Surry county shows that there is now on the roll 177 sol. diers and 96 widows who will this year draw from .the State treasury abott $4200.00. This is another case of Democratic extravagance which no doubt will be a cause of regret to those people who would , if in their power deprive the vet erans and their widows of tbe small sum which tbe Legislature has provided for them Elkin Times. Now brother Johnson, yon are a preacher of tbe gospel of Christ, and such rot as the above is used by the Demoeraticdemagognes but no intelligent, good man, be be Democrat or Republican, should utter such demagogical stuff as the above.

It would appear that Senator Pritenard like Senator McLanrin— and some less distinguished people —is without a party. He truly represents tbe spirit of progress and developement that is sweeping over bis State, but cannot find a political organization iu which he feels sit home. He and his friends 'should join the Democratic party, help in restoring it; to -it#'" proptet 1 position^in Ajnericnn politics , and give to thepe6 pte of this State and nation just wbathe preaches-'busi-. ness {tfogfress and prosperity. - i' -2 **? —WinstdbJournal Senator Pritchard is a great and good Man, but the task offered him by the Journal is too Herculean for mortal man.

Scranton, Pa., Special.—The greater part of Friday’s session of the Anthra-, cite Coal Strike Commission b-was faken up in presenting cumulative tes timony on matters that have already heen heard by the commission. ' This testimony tended to show tliat-.there! has been excessive (locking; that many men were discriminated against because they went on stride rather than do the work of strikers; that they .are paid one price for mine cars of all •sizes; tfcat they do not get paid for all the coal mined; that they should have the 8-hour day because the mines are unhealthy and dangerous, /and; that they ought to receive higher wages. Late in the day. President Mitchell was called to the witness stand* and presented comparative figures which showed that the men paid by the day receive from 40 to. 50 per cent, higher wages iu the bittimmous regions thaii they do in the ahtliracite fields. His figures of the anthracite fields were gathered by his own officers, and a hurried comparison with the figures handed to the commission by the Dela ware & Hudson Company, ; he said, showed that his were -generally higher. The Delaware & Hudson's statistics are ths only ones officially before tho commission. Chairman Gray asked Mr. Mitchell what was done by the miners to adjust grievances outing the interval between the two great strikes, and Mr. Mitchell replied that he did not know of any company refusing to hold con ferences with Jheir own. men, but he did know that in most cases the at tempt to adjust grievances proved a failure. In soma instances, notably in. the upper fields, company ofRcnis have refused to see district officers of the umon. At this point. .T.imes Torrey, coun sel for the Delaware & Hudson Com pany, and Mr. Mitchell, entered into a colloquy as to the interpretation ot the letters sent by the coal road presi dents early last spring, In reply to the union’s invitation that the operators meet the miners in conference for the purpose of forming a wage scale. Mr. Mitchell stated that the opera tors had refused the proposition for collective bargaining or. collective agreements but that ChSirman Thomas of the Brie Company, early in 1901, agreed to treat with his employes through a committee or representative. "The men have the same right,” lie concluded, “to employ a representative-/ to speak for them as. the company hJui to engage you or any other lawyer to speak for them.” “That’s all very pretty and bright/’ retorted Mr. Torrey, “but it does not fit in this case.” WHS Be Arbitrated. Washington, Special.—A cablegram received at the State Department Fri day from Minister Bowen, at Caracas, states that the Venezuelan govern ment has requested him to propose to ^ Great Britain and Germany that tha difficulties arising out of the claims for damage and injuries to British aiid German subjects during the civial war be submitted to arbitration. In con formity with the understanding-.* al ready reached with the representatives^ of the British ami German govern ments here, this proposition froin Pres ident Castro will'be • duly laid before those governments, the State Depiartr ment acting merely as a channel of communication.

Washington, Special.—The State De partment has been advised that “a peaceful blockade”' exists at LaGuaira, which is the port of Caracas/the cap ital of Venezuela.# The,.aif£erence be tween this state and a^statg; of war is not very strongly marked, except in the opportunity afforded by the peace ful blockade to effect a settlement without recourse to actual bloodshed. The situation is Iwre regarded as criti cal. .Ministjer Bowen, at Caracas, hss ac cepted U jg trust i/niccd upon turn to look after the interests of British and German citizens in Venesucla and it has broughty: him into conflict with President Castro-. He has informed the State Department that a number of these citizens were arrested in Cara cas. Mr. Bowen at once addressed htas- self to President Castro to secure their release. He represented that he had been charged with the trare of British and German snbjeeta in Venezuela, but President .Castro was unwilling ft first to recognize his authority."' minister convinced him that he was acting within his rights and President Castro consented with reluctance to re lease the priuv-i:xd prisoners. Mr. Bowea will insist upon the release o? the remainder. Nothing In h'.i. reports to the State Department indicate the reason for the arrest of these foreign ers except that they were Germans and British. The latest report ^om Minister Bow en to the Department confirmed the press dispatches relative to the seizure 3f the Venozuclan navy in the po*t of Caracas Wednesday. It is now expect- ?d that the next step will he th ' an nouncement of a formal blockade of that part by the British and German warships.. It is believed here that this will not stop the cr»try into the port DftAmerican shipoi but that if the land their cargoes the British and Germans will insist upon eolecting the regular Venezuelan rate of customs duties, up- 3n them. Of course this will involve the seizure of'the custom house, and in tarn it is expected that President Castro, unless he concludes to abandon farther resistance, will, issue a decree closing the port to .entry. and will in sist upon collecting duties anew upon the same goods if. th^y ru-o passed, into Uie- Intericr of the country beyond La- uuira. . it was said at the -British and Ger man Embassies today that the action oi President Castro in ordering tt-2 ar- iest of all subjects of the British and German governments in Caracas was without precedent in the history of civ ilized countries supposedly at peace with other and that sueh action would bii regarded as sufficient ground for a.doclaratioa of wan, Indeed, oy members of the diplomatic corpa here it is regarded as being such a declara tion in itself. Minister Bowen’s prompt action In demanding of President Castro, the re lease of the German and British sub jects arrested in Caracas yesterday is In accordance with the plan agreed apc^ between-.the, Gejman and British ambassadors dhd‘ Secretary Hay when the former called at Uie State Depart ment fully three weeks ago, and, in an ticipation- of the present ugly situation in /Venezueia requested that the United States^minister at-Garacas be permit ted $q*protec£'the Uyes and property of all; citizens of-'the London and Berlin governments in the Southern Ameri can^ republics. It is understood that President Castro was advised of this action.- •' Tt was pointed out by an European diplomat of high rank that in forcing Minister Bowen to demand the release Dt the arrest subjects, President Castro Is acting directely contrary to the de sire of the Washington-government in order to become: inv.olved ih the inter national dispute.

Atlanta, Special.—Fire in the heart of the down-town section‘of ■ Atlanta wiped out almost a Wocli of business houses, causing a loss: estimated be tween $400,000 and $500,000. The fire originated in the furniture store of Snook & Austin, on the White hall street viadict and ’ was first dis covered about 4 o'clock in the morn ing. It spread with great rapidity to the Norcross building, a structure on the corner of Peaclitres and Marietla streets, whose six stories were largely taken up witli the oSicss o£ physi cians,, dentists and attorneys. The Nor- cross building and the Snook building ere entirely consumed, only portions of the walls remaining. The building occupied hy the Jacobs Pharmacy Company, adjoining the Norcross building, on Jlaristta street, was com; pleteiy gutted and the Jacobs Com pany and the Snook Company sus tained the heaviest individual losses of the fire. Water did considerable damage to sereial stores adjoining and across the street. The-Williams Hotel a small hotel located on tile upper floor of the Jacobs Pharmacy build ing, contained about Ga lodgers, and for some time rumors prevailed that loss of life had occurred among the, guests of the hotel, but Fire Chiei Joiner declared tonight that all the guests had escaped unharmed. The entire street car service of the city wa& suspended for a period of about four hours, during the fiercest progress of the fire. The burned build ings were most of them old and the;; material value was not great. The Nor- cross building, (.he most valuable of those destroyed, was to have been de molished within a year to make way for a modern office stx’ucture. It was built at n cost of about $50,000. The heaviest !Monetary loss falls upon the merchants in the various board build ings who lost their stock and fixtures. There was considerable apprehension eniiy in the morning that the flames would spread to other buildings. Fierce Coid Up North. New York, Special.—New York and New England have experienced dur ing the past 24 hours the coldest weather of many years. In this city it was the coldest December 9 in 26 years, the thermometer registering as it did in that year 8 above zero. The severity of the cold was intensified by the fact Uiat the people were not pre pared for it, the cold wave having descended suddenly and without warning. Then, too, the scarcity of coal caused much suffering among the poorer classes and even those able to afford the luxury ot a ton of anthracite had to use it sparingly for. fear that the cold snap would last and they would be unable to get a fresh supply. Every effort is being put forth to alle viate the SUfferingl-Charitable organ izations having taken steps to supply the poor and the board of aldermen having voted $10,000 to help along the good cause. The cold in the city was mild com pared with that prevailing in the northern sections of the State and in New England. At Albany, the mer-. cury fell to 10 below zero and In some; nearby districts it went down to 20. The river is frozen over at Albany, putting an end to navigation. Balston reported 12 below, the lowest regis tration since 1861, and Saratoga felt the grasp of weather 30 below. The cold wave struck New York also. Nor walk, Conn., reported 23 below zero, the coldest in years. Murder at Charlotte, N. C. Charlotte, N. C., Special.—Arthui I*.

Until recently our State has been a sleeping giant; it is now v,rJiknig, and in its waking moments, even, is attracting attention far and near. We can say nothing of the Stats commercially or Industrially that more could not be said of her edu cationally. , *Pnbiic; education was ! never so popular as it is, commanding, as it does, the best thought and energies oi' the besc citizens. Yonr committ&o recommends that this convention at test its interest in public education by f alling upon the. General Assembly, soon to Convene, to make, such special appropriation to the public schools as may be necessary to in&ur? a four- months term in each school district. “The interest In denominational schools has kept pace with the Croft ing infcrost in public education. In fact, the leaders ' in denominational school work.have all the time been nimibei^d aniong the vanguard of tta? forces battling for public education. Tf it is true that a denomination's life .anil usefulness, are -measured by its 'intelligence, the .'educational question is one that Khould command tho pro- fomi(|est consideration. We frequently h<wr‘.-it said that the Baptist outlook in North' Cftrolina was never brighter than it is. The interest of the denomi nation in education has made the out look what it is.

We recommend, therefore, the appointment of a com-, inittee of seven to report on plans and lime of introducing a system of cor relation.’’, v . v- ■ • j Mr. J. W.

Steele to he the colonization com missioner, the railroads identified with the recently organized _ move ment- for the colonization of the South- ivest may be said to have made a definite and an auspicious beginning of the vastly important work pro- ■posed. Adequate offices for the coloni zation agency of the Southwestern lines, as the headquarters will be termed, have, been secured in the most eligible’ part of the business district of St. Louis, and at the time of Cap tain Steele’s appointment It was an nounced that the headquarters would be opened for business December I. The Manufacturers’ Record recent ly reviewed at ,length the plans and purposes of the' Southwestern rail roads In inaugurating this new enter prise, and pointed but the great bene fits which must result to the section involved—Oklahoma, Indian Territory, Arkansas, Texas, as well as parts of Missouri, Kansas, Louisiana and New Mexico. - That the work more fully acquaint ing the world with the great variety of resources this section' contains may well be intrusted to the hands of Cap tain Steele, assurance is given by the experience and capacities of the new commissioner, as well as by the great esteem in which he is held by all the railroads connected with the movement.' Captain Steele knows the Soutii- w£st as few inen do. He has been con nected with railroad publications for a number of years, and it is to him no change of scene or divorcement of sympathies v/hen he takes hold of this larger field of activity. In the earlier days of Kansas Captain Steele was member, of a brilliant coterie of young- men, among them the late ,Senator Inrallsi, wiio gave fame to the transi tory Kansas Magazine, and ever since those days Captain Steele’s pen has been employed in attractively pre senting various phases of life in the great West. Haring been long identified as well with, tho practical work of interesting and locating immigrants, it would Eecm that Captain Steele is excep tionally qualified to execute the very ambitious plans of the Southwestern railroads, and that, backed up by the enthusiasm and liberality of his prin cipals, a notable success cannot fail Cf achievement. Aid to Education. The board of education of Atlanta recently suggested legislation permitting a vote on a proposition to issue $100,000 of bonds for the erection of new school buildings. The yearly ap propriation made by the council for the public schools is not sufficient to conduct them, and it is authoritatively stated that they are overrun and thii the bond issue was the only means of meeting the emergency. Subsequently an arrangement was made for an aa prcpriatlou of $50,000 for the schools in Jieu of a bond issue. But the bond issue is probably one of the best means of meeting the increasing de mands in the South for better school facilities. It practically places the cost of ths schools upon the genera tion which will be principally beno- fitted by them, and ‘ removes the slightest excuse for receiving charity from outside, however, sugar-coated such a policy may be. It also gives opportunity ior philanthropy that does not sap independence. Men v,:ho wish to aid Southern education may invest in the t'onds. Kinston and Carolina. The. Kinston a Carolina Railroad, recently chartered to build a line through Lenoir, Duplin and Pender counties,?North Carolina, to a point on the Wilmington & Weldon Railroad of the Atlantic Coast Line system, is al ready in operation for part of the distance. President ..’J. W. Lynch writes from Kihston to the Manufacturers’ Record that twanty-one miles of line are built and in use.

ItA Y ontit IITenii a T.ong P e rio d o f T nrltt A SfitiUatHi nnd U ncertainty, a n d K very U n s in c s s In te r e s t In Aim C o u n try W o u ld Tako Aiami and Ilestriet IU Activity. Tiiore recently Ijcimi some ap* t>i'i)VAl iiv high quarters o“ a jiroposal to appoint'V “f)i-purtisarr!taritf coin- ml.-sion to wrestle with the tariff prob- Iem for an iiiGehnKa period and wind up with making “recommendations’ to Congress. The New York Commer cial, which has been a consistent sup porter of the . protective policy, has taken the matter up in a sensational way, sending out broadsides'and blank petitions nil over the country, with the evident intent, if a commission should be appointed, of claiming that the “Commercial did it,” after the estab lished custom of the sensational press. **^ll'i,artisan tariff commission’* wduld be an utter humbug, and its per formances would be a rearing farce. It would be absolutely known in ad vance that the three or live members who would constitute the protectionist majority would “recommend” the maintenance of the present protective system, .and that the two or four free traders of tlie minority would object to every recommendation made by the majority and “recommend” exactly the opposite. It would .also be known that the two reports'would be printed in many thick volumes of “testimony,’ argument and speculation containing little or nothing u**w and comp'risin an enormous mass which nobody would ever read or even look at except for the purpose of digging out short extracts calculated to support a policy which the scarcer was predetermined to fa vor. Filially it would be known in advance that Congress would pay no more attention to the “recommenda tions” of the commission than it pays to the wind which whistles about the dome of the Capitol. If the commission were only a farce the Nation aould, perhaps, afford to pay the cost for the sake of quieting Iho yells of the disgruntled and rest less, just as a nurse diverts a squalling baby with a rattle. But it would not be merely a farce; it would be disas trous. From the moment it was re solved to appoint such a commission evf-ry business interest in the country would take alarm, for it would be known that we had entered upon a Jong period of tariff agitation, whose outcome as to any particular interest could not even be guessed at. There would be intrigues to learn in advance and modify the “recommendations” of the commission, and when that was through the whole light would be transferred to Congress. We had one such <ommission a few years ago, and the country never wants another. The place to discuss revenue matters is in the open forum of the House of Repre sentatives and Senate, as contemplated by the Constitution. There is no objection to securing of ficial information as to the workings of the present tariff or the probable workings of any proposed modifica tion. On the contrary, it is highly de sirable, But the Government is already provided with machinery necessary for that purpose in ail respects better than any partisan, non-partisan or bi partisan commission. It is only neces sary for Congress to direct that the actuary of the Treasury Department should report in words and figures pre cisely what would happen in respect to revenue and to imports and exports of commodities in case certain named changes in the tariff were made. These official estimates could be made upon request of any organized party in Con gress, any National political convention or any other influential body making definite inquiries in\good faith. That is all we want* to know. We need no “recommendations” from anybody. A few pages of figures would tell the whole story. It would be businesslike and sensible. A bi-partisan commis sion would be a humbug and a menace to prosperity.—San Francisco Chron icle. H e XiilMi te See tlie Clafpe F ly .

Ninth Day—Aftev debating the Lon don dock charge bill for almost four hours the House chopped its head off by striking out the enacting clau e 138 to 129. This killed the bill. The debate was spirited on both sides and all day the members wore iloocied with, telegrams. The withdrawal of the sup port of the lumber and meat packing interests, which, originally joined hands with the flour milling interests in pressing the measure, brought about its defeat. Hie final vote was 138 to 129 in favor of the motion to strike out the enacting clause. • Speeches were made in favor of the bill by Mr. Taw- hey, of Minnesota, and-Mr. Richard son, of Alabama, and against it by. the Messrs. Adams* of Georgia; Wagner, Adams and Daizell, of 'Penncylvaha;-' Burleson and Burgess, of Texas, and Mann, of Illinois. Mr. Tawney explained at length tlie' purpose of the bill, which he said ap plied only to the port of London* and was simply designed to relieve the American shipper of the charge made by the transporting companies for de livering goods over the side of the ves sel. This charge, he said was included in the contract of shipment. The bill would prevent such contract. Mr. Adamson, of Georgia, a member of the committee which reported the bill, opposed it, first on the ground that it sought to prevent the. liberty of con tract and second, because it was supported practically by a single interest, the millers. Mr. Mann read many telegrams from firms, which had formerly supported the bill, stating that after investiga tion they desired to change their position. Eleventh Day—The House session hud the private calendar under consid eration all day. Good progress was made. Twelfth D ay-The House devoted the day to the consideration of private pension bills. The calendar was clear ed, 173 bills being passed. None of them was of especial interest. Thebill to appropriate §1.000,000 for the eradi cation of the foot and mouth disease in New England was made a special order for Tuesday, with the understanding that the only legislative features of the bill would be considered and that the appropriation would be reported from the appropriation committee. Mr.. Maddox objected to the consideration of the bill, until he had had an oppor tunity to examine it. SENATE. Ninth Day—The Senate devoted most •of the day to the Immigration bill and adopted a number of amendments There was considerable discussion du ring the day upon an amendment offer ed by Mr. Burton, of Kansas, Io admiit Chinese laborers to Hawaii, which met with considerable opposition and flu ally was laid on the table. The provision in the bill prohibiting the sale of liquor in the capital building caused a little flurry and criticism of the House for putting it in the bill. The provision, however, was not stricken ont. During the day the militia bill was discussed. It will be taken up again Thursday. Anta amendment to the immigration bill, offered by Mr. Bailey, of Texas, was adopted, providing that skilled la bor may be imported if labor of like kind cannot be found in this country. The amendment prohibiting the sale Cf liqiiors in the capitol was taken up and Mr. Berry, of Illinois, declared that the capitol was not the proper to act In the matter without any law of Congress. Mr. Tillman said he wanted a little light on the subject. He had been in formed, he said, that no liquor was sold in the Senate end of the capitol. “The House is simply playing a hypocritical game before the people,” said he, “and endeavoring to make the Senate attend to its morals.” Mr. Penrose, answering him, said the paragraph was stricken out because the committee thought it was not a proper Idace for itMr. Bailey,, of Texas, contended that each house of Congress had authority place to run a saloon.The amendment was adopted, which has the effect of retaining the clause in the bill prohibiting the sale of liquor in the capitol. t Eleventh Day—The Senate heard committee reports and then went into executive session. At 4:55 it adjourn ed. Twelfth Day—The committee heard arguments on the eight hour labor bill. No report was made, as the arguments were not completed when the Senate adjourned." ........

English in England. One of the differences between the American and English languages is well shown in the following sentence from an article in a London paper de-. scribing the actions of a nervous wo man who was starting on a railway journey: “She was in a flurry of excitement at King’s Cross, and ran hurriedly between the van, where her luggage was being piled In, and the carriage in which she had deposited her rugs, and dressing bag.” The average American would never suspect from reading this alone that there was a railroad train involved in the proceedings. On the contrary, he would suppose that she was going somewhere in a vehicle drawn by horses, and that her trunks were to be taken-in a separate conveyance— perhaps a moving van. One may guess at what is meant by the dressing bag, but what in the world was the lady’s object in carrying rugs with her? Here, we understand that rugs are articles to be spread upon floors to take the place of earpots. No American lady would bo likidy to start on a journey with her arms full of these uscCuT and ©!ton costly ma terials. But the English lady’s rugs were net to Isc walked on. They were to put over her knees for the purpose of keeping her legs warm. In this country they would perhaps be called blankefSfc*$,:.any one ever-had occasion to use such things while traveling on an American railway.

A humorous story is related in con nection with the visit of an English bishop to a Virginia family. Every body was directed to address the rev- erand bishop as “my lord,” and a man servant about the place was especially told off to attend him. The bishop like every other Englishman, set his boots outside his door when he went to bed at night. His temporary body servant was instructed to take them, biaekfin them and return them before their owner should be ready to put them on in the morning. The boy did as he was told. The bishop was dressing when he knocked on the door in the morning, with his care fully taught response, “It’s the boy, my lord, with your boots,” on the tip of his tongue. The sound of the bishop’s voice confused him. “Who’s there?” the bishop called cut. The boy forgot his speech utterly. “Who’s there?” the bishop called again. “It’s the Lord, with your boots, my boy,” said he. ISHCif m Professor Alfred Vierkandt, the sociologist, in an article published in the Berlin Beitschrift fur Socialwis- senschaft upon conditions of iace su periority, gives a great deal of atten tion to the United States, where, he says, independence of character and personal initiative are illustrated by colossal enterprises. He finds one reason for the freedom fx*om class and race prejudice which exists in the United States in the fact that the highest careers are possible to the individual low in the social scale if ability is shown. Whether American race superiority can assert itself in ternationally depends, according to Professor Vierkandt, upon reconciling a high standard of living with numer ous progeny. The professor says that there is apparently a tendency which discourages large families because of the standard of comfort required.* The Economical Widov/. Once upon a time a man who had become quite wealthy through the careful management of a clever wife died. His wife’s passion for saving was strong, even" in his death, and though the demhnds of fashion re quired that she should show her grief by wearing mourning, they did not de mand that she should be extravagant She was well equipped with clothing, ana instead of putting it to one side, to go out of style through lapse of time, she took her outer garments to a dyer and had them changed to the mourning color.

News Journal. A prominent State newspaper re cently made the observation in its columus that the State press was., making no suggestions' of recpiii- mendations for the coming Legis lature. There is no difgnis ing the fact that t here is an nnIienl thy apa thy throughout the State over: its public afi'airs, and it is because of this apathy, that there is'nothing: of consequence in the State press over what the next General As sembly is going to do, or FlioilJd do' Every one at alt familiar with State affairs known that there is really an immense work ahead of the next Legislature, oue which is going to tax the wisdom of its members to the utmost. But with this knowledge, there is little, if any, advice being prof fered, from the press or through its columns, by the people. It would seem that if the same general indifference prevailed, as was seen during the last November election when there was a vote cast to show how the colored voter stood, and how the amendment was go ing to affect the. entire people of the State. It will be remembered that in difference prevailed before the elec tion, and there was seen absolute ly no enthusiasm on election day. The political indifference which -prevails in the State after the Democratic nominating convention up to aud including the day. when the ballots were cast, was hot a sign of health in this Common wealth. Nor- is the present indifference over what the Geueral Assembly will-do at its sessions, beginning in January, a healthy sign in Uiis Commonwealth. An election ought to be a matter of public, not individual concern, and certainly what a law making body is going to do, should prove of vital concern to the people, gen erally. This apathyi tbis ' public indif ference is not a good sign. There must come a public awakening of some kind, when and what will be its nature, time alone can develop. There is a reason for this apathy, and also tor the silence on the part of the press. The machine is in control in N. C., and it matters littleVwiiat anyone wants or says for wbat the machine decrees will be done whether it suits the peo ple or not.. Some time'silence, and a great calm presages a storm, and if the forth coming Legislature does not bring on a- storm it will surprise us. We await the result, and have no suggestions to make, for if other people can stand what follows we will try as long as we can, and if it is unendurable we we will take to the woods. ' This is an unhealthy sign. - i ft-*, , “ mselt in 1883 I . Sue had nothing. He I f c oflan!1- * M MOCKSVILLE, N . C.

A ta recent election in South Carolina the entire Democratic vote cast in the State was 31,343. In th'e six Congress districts where Bepublieans .were nominated there were only 742 votes polled for these candidates on Nov. 3. The largest number in any one district was 247 and the smallestthirty four. The despatch to the Sua which gives these figures says that “the negroes have ceased to vote in South Carolina; thousand who are qualified electors, having registra tion tickets, did not go to the polls this fall ” For the first time since the negroes got the ballot not one is holding any elective office in the State. The next Legislature will be unanimously white. The last census gives the whites of voting age in that State at 130. 375 and the blacks at 152,860- total of 283,235. And yet the late election apparently did not reach 40,000. Such a state of things is a travesty of Democracy. Government by a mere faction of the people is not Bepnblicanism.— News.

I n m m m TT LTj of Kteanor Merton's / \ friends declared that she was like to go mad with grief. SIie had had an nnusually hit ter experience. The beautiful, willful orphan girl had married a handsome youth wlio developed into a cruel mu! dissipated man. For three years Eleanor bore her trials in silence with a splemlid pride; then her husband’s sudden death set her free, and she abandoned herself happily to her ab sorbing love for her child, his youug . mother’s delight. Her friends had laughed, and said that Eleauor Merton could talk of nothing but “Reggie,” and they were sick and tired of hearing of the little prodigy! So they came to visit her with less and less frequency, and truth to tell—she never missed their coming. One friend, at least, was faithful, and that was Godfrey Wariug. He was a distant connection of Eleanor’s, her friend from childhood and little ‘Reggie’s godpapa. Now he was also her chief counsellor in- all important . matters. Tlie happiest time of the year for Eleanor was the holiday season, and she thoroughly enjoyed the fun of Reg gie's tiny stocking and bis little Christ mas tree. The Christmas preparations when Reggie was approaching the mature age of four proved happier than any ever before. The boy was quite,old enough to appreciate all sorts of won derful things, and every evening for almost a week, after he was safely in bed, Eleanor, with Godfrey for an es cort visited the toy shops aud bought the prettiest things she saw, and then on Christmas Eve Eleanor and Godfrey dressed the tree. It was. nearly 11 o'clock before they had finished, and Godfrey was rewarded for his share of the work by an Invitation to “come and take dinner with Reggie" the fol lowing day. When Godfrey reached his rooms perhaps an hour after he left her lit found a note from Eleanor awaiting him. “She forgot to tell me the hour at which Iteggie will dine,'* he said to himself with a smile as he tore open the envelope. Bnt the words he Tead were these: “Reggie Is ill. Come at once.” He hurried back to find doctors com ing and going and Eleanor lialf dis tracted, and when he caught the words “malignant diphtheria” he did not won der at her alarm. That night no one thought of sleep; Day dawned and slowly dragged through all its awful length, and though all things were done which hu man wisdom eoald suggest when night came little Reginald was dead. Eleanor's grief was frautic, passion ate, ^itifuL No wonder her friends feared for her reason. Godfrey alone was of any comfort to her. and that * only because she could talk to him in cessantly of her dead ehlld. Untli Twelfth Nighi Reggie's Chrisi- iuas tree stood just as they had dressed it, and Eleanor would not per mit it to be removed. Time went on, and though Eleanor's grief was no less absorbing if gradu ally became more quiet In its form. Godfrey keenly dreaded for her the approach of Christmas time, and he felt greatly disturbed when important business kept him away from the city until late on Christmas Eve. It was too late to see Eleanor on his return, but he went to her early on Christmas morning and found her, to his horror, gazing with glassy eyes upon a Christ mas tree, the counterpart of the one which they -two bad decorated the Christmas Eve before. “Eleanor!” he said, “you- will drive yourself mad?' “What thenr she answered,'dully. “At least I should be less miserable than I am now.” So during that awful anniversary day she lived over again her agony of grief, and Godfrey was powerless to turn, even for a moment, the current of her thoughts. m “GOBFBEY SAW HEB SWAY ASD SEEMED ABOUT TO FAM>.” The little useless tree, with its bur <ieu of pretty toys, was kept in its place until Twelfth Night was over, as be fore. Aud then it vanished, Godfrey hoped, forever! Another year went by and Eleanor, still a iecluse and unreconciled, nrourueu for her hoy As Chn.stmas agam drew near Elean or said to Godfrey, “I shall dre=s Rpo-- maid s tree as usual on Christmas Evo Will you help me—or must I do it alone, as I did last yearv’ Eleanor!” he protested / I shall do it!” she said firmly, and -Jw sav, that there tras no appeal. “Then I will help you,” he promised, and together in tragic silence they per formed, the awful task. “For the last time!” Godfrey told himself as he helped her cold and Ireinbliug fingers tie on the toys which had been bought for little Reginald so long before. It seemed monstrous that these playthings, made for a child’s delight, could iie thus perverted from their purpose and used ngniu and again* as instruments of torture for a wom an’s heart. It was late iyheit their task was finished and he bade her good-niglit. Her face haunted him all night, aud in never forgive • you,” she said. “How dared you do it?” she cried again. “I dared because I thought—I hoped —it might save you from this useless brooding, this awful misery ” “What do yon know of misery?” she said in scorn. “Xou> who liave never loved and buried a child.” . “I know only t\ie misery of a hope less aud lifelong love,” he said, after a moment's pause. “Eleanor, I would have given my life to give you back your child—whom I loved, too—or to help you in any way, and I thought yon knew that. And I thought that what I have done might make it easier for you in the future, that was all. In stead, it has proved a blunder, and. in place of your Indifference I have earned your hate.” She had seated herselfcwith her arms resting upon the tabic before her aud her face turned from him. “Even now I am not sorry it is done,” he said slowly, “and I hope in time you may come to believe I did it in all kind ness Io you. Aud now, at least, you will not refuse to say good-bye.” V/ith her face still hidden she blind ly stretched out her hand and he look it,misunderstanding her. “Good-bye—forever,” he said. The small white fingers grasped Iiis own, tind still he did not understand. Now she was weeping silently aud he was filled with pity for her. ••Poor child.” he said, “if only some “WHAT DID HE BRING?” For a man who has learned to do something well, and do it better than the run of men, there is always a de mand in the world of affairs. About 300,000 cases of dynamite are used annually at the Johannesburg mines. K the morning he went to her again. Before the house he saw three tat tered, wistful little vagrants loitering, and as he passed them he heard one say, “Gee! wisht I cud git in dere wunst—jist tersec dem tings clus to!” He glanced up, and where the dra peries had been pushed aside he caught a glimpse of Reginald’s Christmas tree. “Mrs. Merton is put!” he said in sur prise, repeating the maid’s words. Gone to church, you say! Yes, I’ll come in and wait.” He was glad. He glanced at his watch; it was a full hour until the ser vice would be over. He went to the window and pushed the curtains aside to look out, and a shrill cry of delight came from the urchins outside—whom he had forgotten—as they caught a bet ter view of the gayly decorated tree. In an instant his resolution was formed, and beckoning to the children he ran and opened the front door. “I’m not Santa Claus," he said, “but I’m a friend of his—and you haven’t had any presents from him vet, have you?” They grinned, abashed, and vigor ously shook their beads. Did he- bring you any toys last Christmas?” They shook’their heads again. “I thought not. Well, come in; he’s left a double supply for you here.” In stupefied amazement they entered, a tattered, dirty crew-, whose jargon - when their tongues were loosened God frey could hardly understand. Quickly and thoroughly he did his work and the tree was stripped and the toys divided among them in an in credibly short time. He was just pulling down the last tinsel, garland amid their shrieks of rapture when he looked up and saw Eleanor—a tali ,black figure — in the doorway. Her veil was thrown back and her face w as white and shadowy. Godfrey saw her sway and. she seemed about to fall. He spraifg for ward to support her, but she shrank away from him. “I thought you were Reggie’s friend —and mine,” she said hoarsely. “How much I w as’mistaken. Our bitterest enemy could have devised nothing half so cruel.” . With these words she left the room, and Godfrey turned back to complete the ruin he had wrought. Pull an hour passed before be heard her • step descending the stair.. She thought that he had'gone, and she .started when she entered the room and saw him there. . Her quick- eyes noted the absence of the tree. “How dared you-do it?” she cried at last—“how dared you give, away the toys I had bought for’my own dead- child?” “They have made three living chil- rh'pn Imppv, EIpflUOv ” ‘ Dirty beggars from the street. It was an insult to me and to Reginald’s memory even to bring them into my home ” Godfrey flushed. “Is it their fault that they were born m the gutter, that they are dirty, ignorant and half clad? In the Cies ot.God, Eleanor, I believe those children are as dear as- your spotless Reginald.”She looked at kirn ashast. > “I sliali one could comfort you—where I so la mentably have failed.” The small wiiite dinging lingers sud denly carried his liand to her ludden lips. “Eleanor!” lie cried.. “Godfrey,” she murmured, still cling ing to his hand. * * * * * * * * The new year was still young when Eleanor Mertdn became Godfrey War- ing’s wife.

SENATE ON TROUBLE VenezueIan MatterDiscussed Bythe Senators in Executive Session CONSIDERS THE MATTER.IN SECRET Senator Cullom, Chief of Committee on Foreign Relations, Reports No Official Information. Wasliington, Special.—The Vene zuelan question occupied the'attention of the Senate in executive session' Tuesday for almost an hour. The question .came up informally almost immediately after the public was ex cluded. Senator Teller disclaimed all intention of being critical and said he merely desired information and asked Senator Cullom. chief of the commit tee on foreign relations, what in formation he possessed as to the Venezuelan affair. Mr; Teller, in in quiring, said that the situation is such that Senators felt the Monroe doc trine at. any time might become in volved if the complication should con tinue. Senator Cullom replied to the in quiry that lie had no knowledge of re cent events not contained in the pub lic prints. Messitf Bacon, I-Ioar, Lodge and Stewart ’all made remarks. In none of the addresses was any thing harsh or critical said. The tone of all the speeches, whether by Re publicans or Democrats, was that our position as a nation should be one of watchfulness. There was general agreement that while the motions adopted by Gregt Britain and Germany for the collection of their debts had been quite strenuous they thus far had committed no infringement of the’ Monroe doctrine and therefore had done nothing to which the United States could take exception. This was the position of Senator Cullcm as was that of other Senators who spoke. Mr. Cullom said that much light as to the attitude of the administration could be obtained by consulting the cor respondence conducted between the State Department and the German ambassador a year ago. He then called attention to the fact that on December 10, 1901, the report of Em peror William had brought the matter to the attention of the Secretary of State. The German ambassador said that for seven years Venezuela had failed to pay interest on a debt to German citizens of about $5,000,000 contracted in the construction of a railroad and that in addition there were other debts'amounting to about $1,700,000 due German citizens from Venezuela which had proved impos sible to collect. He added that ev- qry known peaceable means had been tried to secure the money and that his government feeling that patience had ceased to be a virtue, had decided to use coercive measures. It was desired, however, he . said, that it 3hould be understood that, in which ever steps might be taken by his country there was no desire to en croach on or interfere with the Mon roe doctrine. Secretary Hay replied, December 16, 1801; saying in effect that the Mon roe doctrine was not intended to shield any American nation from the payment of its honest debts and that its purpose was to prevent the ac quisition of territory by Old World nations. Senator Bacon, of Georgia, of the minority committee on foreign rela: tions,’ said that on a question of this kind there was a party, division,'that everybody would stand with the ad ministration in doing what was for the best good with no desire on the part of any one to embarass those who were in control of affairs, and upon whom devolved the duty of protect ing American interests. The main tenance of the Monroe doctrine, he added, was devolved on the whole people. Senator Stewart dwelt somewhat on the bombardment of the Vene zuelan fortresses by the. warships. He gave as his reason for his admonition the fact that our recent acquisition of territory had aroused the jealousy of ail the European powers and that th e y ’ might, attack us at any time. “Not in two generations,” he said, “could we build up a navy equal to that of Great Britain, but we can strengthen our coast fortifications, and in view of. Venezuela’s experi ence it behooves us to do sol”As there was no formal question before the Senate the matter was dropped. Ports to Be Blockaded. London, By Cable.—Replying to a question in the House of Lords, Lord Lansdowne, the Foreign Secretary, said that if the seizure of the Venezue lan gun-boats. did not produce the de sired effect further eoercive measures would bjpemployed. The matter had been considered in consultation with Germany and it has been decided to.re- sort to a blockade of the ports. It was not intended to land a British force and still less to occupy Venezuelan ter ritory! Replying to a question in the House of Commons today, .Under For eign Secretary Cranborne said no at tempt had been made by Great Britain to refer,-this ’dispute with'Venezuela to arbitration. Death- of Grn. Moorman, New Orleans, Special. — General George Moorman, adjutant general of the United Coiifederate !Veterans, died suddenly Tuesday night, aged 61- years. He was on the staff of General N. B.. Forrast and other Confederate leaders during the war, earning many special mentions' and was commander of Moorman’s cavalry battalion. He has been adjutant general of the United Confed erate Veterans since its organization. He expired while at* his • desk in his New Orleans office. . • • Express Messenger Killed. Birmingham, Ala., Special.—A southbound limited train from Cincinnati to New Orleans on the Alabama Great Southern was wrecked 70 miles south of Birmingham, a rail having been re moved from a trestle which spans a small-, creek.-- The locomotive left Ike track and toppled over into the creek The mail and baggage and .express cars and two coaches followed.

The Omnibus Statehoqd Bill— Othet flatters. Senator Bate presented in the Sena te the minority report from the commit tee on territories favoring the immedi ate passing by the Senate of the omni bus statehood bill without amendment, as it came from the House. The re port argues for. the admission of Okla homa, New Mexico and Arizona and opposes the uniting of Oklahoma and the Indian Territory into one State. It shows minutely the conditions of each of the three Territories as to pop ulation, wealth and general features of the Territories and says that these are such as to call for immediate state hood. It criticises the majority report and shows that both the Republican and Democratic parties, in their last na tional conventions, adopted with per feet unanimity a plank in their respec tive platforms recommending each of these Territories by name for state hood. Such expressions should, the report continues, be’respected by both parties. The report says among other things: ‘It was never intended that Congress should bar by party, objection admis sion when the population, wealth and institutions were the same as in the case of other States found.” With reference to the question of the Territories, thereport contends that it “ought to suffice that 85 per cent of the population are white in Oklahoma and the. 90 per cent of the population in Arizona and the 122,000-white popula tion In New Mexico are quite sufficient to leaven all the foreign-born in each of those Territories.” Liberal quota tion is made from the report of the majority upon the statehood bill. One of the portions quoted is that referring to a statement made by a witness that some of the white people in the Terri tories are “like the riffraff which fol low the construction of railroads. Com menting upon this, the minority says: “The riffraff who follows the railroads have been the sturdy Irishman whose pick and shovel and spade and labor have built the 100,000 miles of Ameri can railroads. ; “Why that ‘riffraff’ should not be as good citizens in Mex ico as they are in every other State and Territory, the report does not ad vise the Senate.” The report-is signed by Senators Bate, Hayfleld, Bailey and Patterson constituting the Democratic member ship of the committee on Territories. For a Union Depot. The House has passed the Senate bill for a union railroad station in this city to cost $4,000,000. The station is to be situated north of the present site of the Baltimore £ Ohio depot at Dela ware and Massachusetts avenues, and in front of it is to be a large Plaza Park. The Pennsylvania Railroad, by the terms of the bill, is to remove its tracks the mail and reach the site of the proposed station through a tunnel to.run between-the capitol and library buildings. The government is to pay the Pennsylvania Railroad $1,500,000 and the Baltimore £,Ohio $500,000 in addition to providing for the Plaza Park. nilitia Bill. The Senate discussed the bill to pro mote the efficiency of the militia and also the omnibus statehood bill. After agreeing to the concurrent resolution of -Housefor an adjournment from De cember 20 to January 5, Mr. Proctor called up the militia bill. An amend ment by Mr. Pettus, striking from the bill section 24, having particular reference to the reserve force of trained men, provoked some discussion, Mr. Pettus raising the point that the sec tion, if enacted into law, would be an Infringement of the constitutional au thority of the States and put the con trol of the militia of ■ the several States into the hands of the genera-, government. The bill was laid aside for the omnibus statehood bill, Senater Diilingham, of Vermont, who is op posed to the bill, occupying the time oi. the Senate for the remainder of the day. in rehearsing the testimony taken by the sub-committee of the committer on Territories, during its tour qf tnvej- tigation in New Mexico. Arizona and Oklahoma. After n. brief exeeutiv-- session the Senate adjourned. floney to Fight Trusts, Unexpectedly and without warning in the House, during the consideration of the legislative appropriation bill,- Mr. Bartlett, q Georgia Democrat, sprang an amendment to appropriate $250,000 to enforce the Sherman anti trust law and to direct the Attorney- General to proceed to the prosecution of all violators of the law. Although such a provision was plainly amenable to a point of order, not a member on either side of the House raised objec-’ tion. Indeed both sides wheeled into line. AU agreed that some such action was advisable. Some of the Republi cans, however, raised objection to the looseness of the ’ language of the amendment and Mr.' Hepburn, of Iowa, offered as a substitute for it the lan guage of the bill he introduced on the opening day of the session to appropri ate $500,000 for the enforcement of the measure. Fowler’s Currency Law. Representative Fowler, chairman of the House committee on banking and currency, introduced a bill which was drawn by him in accordance with the views of the Republican members ex pressed at recent conferences and which will be urged instead of the currency bill reported to” the House at the last session. The.bill provides “that any national bank may, with the approval bf the Comptroller of the Currency, take out for issue and circulation an amount of national bank notes not ex ceeding 25 per cent, of its paid up and unimpaired capital, without depositing United States bonds with the United States Treasury, such notes to be in denominations of $10 and multiples thereof.” Pension Legislation.

IVrlmps some of the political- logi- cmus who so eoniidently ligiiiv om t)f the returns of the elections of Novem ber 4 n pressing deuiuntl for tariff re vision at the hands of the. ltepuhlican party-would do well to revise their cal culations. It has been asserted over and over again that the West is the ebief storm centre of larilf revision sentiment. The vote at this year’s election does not. bear out that conten tion. .It is a curious and significant fact that the West shows tremendous Re publican gains. Let us compare re sults in 1S9S with results'In 1002. Both being mid-Presidential years, the com parison is fairer and more instructive than that between .1000 and 1002. Of the Ii ft eon States west of the .Missis sippi River the Republicans carried eight and the Uemoerats seven four years ago. This year but one of these States, the so-called “rotten borough” of Nevada, has been carried by the Democrats. The majorities in the fifteen trans-Mississippi States iu 380S and 1902, respectively, were as follows: ■----180S.--------------1902.-----States. Rep. Io w a 02,500 Minnesota .20,000 N.

ItraB gfl C oiiA liulon That Iiie F h ip tB W a n t W h a t T lio y B a v e V n ted A gainst.* Fresh ,from the field of brilliant achievements, resulting iu the loss of a considerable number of Republican Congressmen, Mr. Babcock, the Chair man of the National Republican Con gressional Ca'mpaign Committee, once more raises his voice for tariff revis ion. He is convinced that 'Tuesday's elections clearly sliow the people want to live two more years under an administration that will be Republican in all its laauches. It the Democrats had won it would have signified that tiie people wanted no tariff revision for the next two years, as it would have been impossible to ac complish anything in that direction with a Democratic House and a Re publican Senate. The people expect the next Congress to undertake tariff revision, and they expect revision to be made on Republican principles.” It takes a real statesman to correctly interpret a popular expression. Most people would have Inferred that the election of a Democratic majority in the House of Representatives pledged to the repeal of the Dingley tariff meant that the majority of the people wanted the .Dingley tariff repealed. Not so, says Statesman Babcock. The fact that the lower House of the next Congress is to contain a Republican majority, though a greatly reduced one, is sure proof that Ihe country wants the tariff torn up and air busi ness demoralized. That is the Bab cock idea. By that rule-of reckoning Babcock, the tariff ripper, should win the Speakership hands down, and we should see the friends of protection banded together for the slaughter of protection. Thus we would Imve the Iowa idea and the Babcock idea in perfect fusion. Perhaps we shall have it,, anyhow. Il could not fail to prove an interesting combination. Total roa- jorilies.l4g,S50 69,050 279,100 500 Here is an extraordinary reversal. The total Republican majorities in these identical States in 1898, when only eight out of the fifteen were Re publican. were 74,800. This year the Republicans carry fourteen out of the fifteen States and the lotal majority has swollen to 278,600, while the Dem ocratic majority of 69,050 In seven States four years ago has fallen to a paltry 500 in a single State, Nevada, in 1902! Does that look as though the itch for tariff tinkering was epidemic in the West? The answer must be no, when we consider that in the fifteen Iraas- Misslssippi States the Republicans have this year elected forty-nine and the‘Democrats nine Representatives in Congress. Four years ago the Keiiub- licans elected forty and the Democrats twelve. In spite of the fact that reap portionment has increased by seven the total number of Representatives from these States the Democrats lose three and the Republicans gain nine as compared with four years ago. States west of the Mississippi River that six years ago were rated as solid ly and safely Democratic and were re lied upon with certainty for Bryan electoral votes have been turned to the Republican party one by one, until in 1902 but one of the fifteen States is carried by the Democrats. What bag wrought this tremendous revolution in the central and far Western States? The answer is protection and its frnits. There is not the slightest doubt of this. In these States the efforts of the Amer ican Protective Tariff League have for several years been especially concen trated. The facts of protection pros perity have been persistently and ef fectively brought home to the voters in these States. They have found out w hat protection means to them. They are sending increased delegations of protectionists to represent them in Congress. W hat for? To tear down protection? To tinker the Dingley tariff? To unsettle business,, to dimin ish the consumption of farm products and to lower prices? Is that what the great central West and the great far .West have just voted for? The man who thinks so is blind and deaf to ob vious facts and conditions. Tariff re form dearly is not strong in the agri cultural and mining States of the West. There they stand for the tariff as it is, for protection and prosperity. Protect tion in the West saved the lower House to the Republican party in 1898. It has done it again in 1902. Protec tion will always save the Republican party. Anything short of it will al ways ruin the Republican party and the country. Tim* 1« Wfbke Up# The BABCOCK IDEA. KepuIblieftOB W ill Do It. Tlie Republican party will take up tlie m atter of the trusts In a manner not calculated to cause financial un rest, but will deal with the problem with intelligence and. common sense. Unlike the Democratic party, it will not propose to accomplish the result desired by killing industry. The busi ness interests of the country are too great, too important to be assailed in a reckless manner. To follow such a course would be to'invite business and industrial disaster and cause suffering among the great army of employed. It is safe to say that the work of enact ing anti-trust legislation "will never be intrusted to the Democratic party.— Norwalk (Oliio) Reflector. , ‘ . Many a man who would be bravo on the field of battle q u a ils ignominious- Jy- before the photographic snap shot. W hat Would Happen. Any one of the great, combinations that has to do with protected articles, if the protection is removed, will sim ply set itself to driving independent op erators out of business until it has made a place for itself large enough to giro it a profit under any and all con ditions. There will not he. a sign of trouble in the trust But there will be a storm of bankruptcies on. all sides of it. The outsiders will all go to the wall or they will go into the trust. That is the outlook iu case of a Democratic Congressional victory this fall, and there is no way of escaping it except by a solid majority in favor of the prosperity of all instead of the pros perity of the few who would profit by a national panic.—Columbus Journal. SOUTHERN INDUSTRIAL Large MHls for Texas. For several year’s past there has been considerable activity in cotton mill building in Texas. A number of plants have been completed in the State, and are now operating success fully. According to interviews appear ing in the Houston press, three more large cotton factories have been con tracted for. It is stated that Judge A. M. Matcher of Houston, Texas, has arranged with Eastern capitalists for financing these enterprises and for tho sale of the product after the mills are in operation. Referring to one of the mills, Judge Hatcher is quoted as say ing it will have 15,000 spindles and 244 looms, manufacturing print cloths, and represent the investment of §225,- 000. In this plant electrical power will will be used exclusively. Details as to the other mills are not announced. A $200 000 Addition. Announcement is made that the Union Cotton Mills of Lafayette, Ga., will enlarge its plant. The stockhold ers in the company met recently and' authorized this enlargement, but the decision did not become publicly known until during the past week. Mill architects are • now preparing plans and specifications for the im provements. The erection of seventy- five operatives’ cottages will be a pare of the betterments. The company now has 7CS0 ring spindles and 212 looms, manufacturing sheeting, toweling and drills. This equipment will be increased by 10,000 spindles and 288 looms. About $200,000 will be ex pended on the new building and ma chinery. Hope MHIs Improvements. Work is progressing on the im provements of the Hope Mills Manu facturing Co. at Hope Mills, N. C:, and will soon be completed. These improvements have been made according to the plans announced last June. The additional structure is 350x300 feet in size, and will be equipped with 200 looms and a finishing plant. Messrs. Lockwood, Greene & Co., the well known mill architects of Boston. Mass., have been in charge of the betterments. The company’s present plant has 3.2,582 spindles and 753 looms, manufacturing madras, eheviots and dress goods. It is stated that about $100,000 is the expenditure iuvolvod in the extensions. Tbe Spirit of CnmvnerelallBm. The Democratic party has declared itself opposed to “the spirit of com mercialism.” In other words, it is in favor- of closing up American factor ies. for many of them must be closed unless we succeed in finding markets abroad for our surplus products. The Republican party is now seeking such markets in the far East, and ts finding them. This may be “greedy commer cialism,” but it is what the American people want. We want our. industries to grow and flourish like the green bay tree of poetic tradition. If we ever wish to shut them up, however, we can do it In short order by retiring frotu competition In foreign markets and re moving the protective taiiff that bars from our markets the pauper made goods of Europe.—Terre Haute Trib une. • • Keeps tlie Mouey at Home* All must acknowledge that the re moval of the protective tariff would result in the importation of millions of dollars’ worth of foreign made goods for which millions of American money would be sent to Europe. The Repub lican party wants to keep the tariff on In order that our people may use the goods made by American workmen and in order also that the money may be kept in this country instead of being sent abroad to pay foreign labor.— Terre Haute Tribune. W h a t T hey P ropose. A high tariff protects the American workingman against the competition of the pauper labor of Europe and Asia. The Republican party proposes to Tetain the tariff and the Democratic party proposes to remove it—Terre Haute Tribune. , Children in Southern Mills.'

When a laxative is needed the remedy which ia given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internal .organs on which it acts, should he such as physicians would sanction, because its. ConrlXincnt parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy itself free from every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents,, ■well-informed, approve and recomjnend and which the little ones enjov.. because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is— Svrup of Figs—and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should be u^cd by fathers and mothers. Svrup of Figs is the only remedy which acts genth', pleasantly and uatiivaUy without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the svsiam effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results irom the use of the old-time cathartics and modern imitations, and against which the children should be so carefully guarded. If you would have them r;row to manhood and womanhood, strong, .healthy and happy, do not give mem medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and gentle—Syrup of Figs. Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the laxative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, but also to our original method of manufacture and as you value the health of the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous deal ers sometimes offer to increase their profits.

Jlississippi was the second of the seceding states to adopt an ordi nance of secession alter the elec tion of President Lincoln. It was also the home of Jefferson Davis, the President of the southern con federacy. It was a veritable hot bed of secession, and a leader in the movement to break up the un ion on account of Lincoln’s elec tion Not long ago the director of the Mississippi Historical society, wrote a letter to Hon. Bobt. T. Lincoln, from which the following is an extract: “We of the south now realize the greatness and grandness and goodness of the character of Presi dent Lincoln, and would honor his memory. Permit me in the name of the state to invite you to place a portrait of President Lin coln in the new capitol of JIississ- ippi,that it may symbolize his love for his country, his devotion to duty, and his heartfelt sympa thy for the soutbern people.” Of course the portrait was furnish ed as requested, and id the future it will hang with the portraits of other notable men, and bear testi mony to the high regard in which AbrahamLincoln is held in the state in which Jefferson Davis had his home aud which did all it could to honor the leaderoi the secession movement. Ho evidence is need ed to show the entire reconciliation of the men who fought each other so valiantly for four long, sad bloody years; but if such evidence were wanting, this -incident here men tioned would be of a convincing character. In days of strife and hot passion especially at the outbreak of hos tilities, to have said a word in praise of Abraham Lincoln in any part of the state, would have been as much as the life of the one who said it was worth; but now, a gen eration away from the strife of the civil war, Mississippians honor the union war Presidentbyplacing his portrait in a hall in their state capitol, and bear willing testimony to his.greafc virtues. • It is an event of no small mo. ment.-and it will do much toward cementing the ties that should bind the people of the sections of our Common union in strong bonds of sacred kinship, In honoring thus the memory of Lincoln, the JIiss- issippians have honored themsel ves, and they have done the whole country a.service that will be ap preciated by the lovers of the coun- try in every state in the union —Journal Tribune. Eep. Proud of His Sou: Mr. Thos. Coppinger, Dayton, Tenn., says: I have used Eamonfo Liver Pills and Tonic Pellets for years, and cannot- say enough of them for the good they have done Ih my family.
