All who tried to do him fovors he regared as legacy hunters. | After his death his will was; opened and to it was appended a j codicil, which, he said, was not to ' be read until after the funeral. . This u ill read as follows: “ Every member of nij family who does not attend my funeral will receive §300.” When the funeral took place there was only J Youth’s Companion, one mourner, an elderly lady, who was a very distant relative. The codicil was read that even ing, and it provided that the en­ tire estate which remaiued after the $300 had been paid each rela­ tive who did not attend the funeral should be divided among those who had paid the last honors to the deceased.

A witty remark does not always result so satisfactorily to the per­ petrator as in the case of the young curate who obtained a valuable living in the west of England by means of a pun. The rector who held the liv­ ing had died, and th^e were many applicants for the place, which vva.j worth $10,000 a year. The living was in the gift of an earl, who was sur­ prised at the funeral by the mani­ festations of grief by the assembled rectors and curates. So he said to the young curate, who had been act­ ing as the tutor of his son: “Nat­ urally they should feel a proper amount of grief, but I cannot under­ stand why they should weep so fren- scicdly for the dead.” The young man instantly replied: “You are mistaken, my lord j it is not for the dead they weep; it is for the living.” There­ upon the earl was so pleased with the keenness of the remark that he : presented, the livitig to the curate.—^ M A D JI # 2 0 ,0 0 0 .

Tlie manuscript for the third chapter of the annual report of the state de­ partment of labor and printing has just been turned over to the state printers. It is devoted to the cotton milling in­ terests of the state, giving invaluable statistics of this industry which has during recent years assumed such en­ ormous proportions. The most notable feature of this chapter of the commissioner’s report is the showing of 289 mills in opera­ tion, 275 of this number having an ag­ gregate of 1,835,421 spindles, 41,595 looms and 3,193 machines and using 76,641 horse power. Then there are fif­ teen other mills that have started up since June 30th, 1903, the total number of spindles, looms, etc., in which can not be given at this time but will be incorporated in the report before it is issued. The report shows that the highest average wages paid to men in the cot­ ton mills is $2.05 and the lowest 60 cents; the highest average for women 97 cents and the lowest 47 cents. The average for children is 38 cents. The report shows that there are 50,- 324 cotton mill operatives, of which 25,916 are males and 23,494 females; of these there are 914 under 12 years of age. It is shown, too, that here are 128.978 persons dependent on the cot­ ton mills for support. In connection with the report there is a section giving the mills, spindles, etc., by counties. In this Gaston heads the list with 29 cotton mills operating 211,594 spindles and 4,028 looms, manu­ facturing shirtings, plaids, warps, dress goods and yarns. It shows Wake county to have five cotton and three knitting mills operating 47,176 spindles. 1,203 looms and 211 machines manufac­ turing ginghams, colored goods, sheet­ ings, yarns, hosiery and underwear. The introduction to the chapter on cotton mills in full as it will appear in the forthcoming annual report of Com­ missioner Varner is as follows: THE REPORT IN FULL. The cotton industry continues to in­ crease each year. The statistics in this chapter, as given in tables I and 2 , are for tlie year ending June 30. 1903, and therefore do not include mills com­ mencing operation after that date. Ta­ ble No. 3 gives complete list of mills 4298), showing postoffice, capital stock, number of spindles and looms, etc. The 275 mills, from which tables No. I pnd 2 are compiled, operate 1.835,421 spindles. 41,596 looms and 3,193 ma­chines, using 79,641 horse power. Highest average wages per day—men $2.05, women 97 cents; lowest average wages per day—men 60 cents, women 47 cents. Average wages of children per day 38 cents. Total number of employees 50,324, of which 25,916 are males over 12 years; 23,494 females over 12 years, and 914 children under 12 years of age;128.978 persons are dependent on mills for a livelihood. The number of hours worked per day vary from ten to twelve; 84 per cent, of adults and 37 per cent, of children read and write. In some instances more than one mill are reported as one where they are under the same management. In the blanks for this report inquiry was made as to the number of children employed under twelve years of age, and 202 mills responded. The table shows that these mills employ 914 chil­dren under twelve years of age. The 73 mills failing to respond to this ques­tion, operate 564.300 spindles 11,788 looms, and 417 machines, and employ 15,000 operatives. MILLS BY COUNTIES.

Four Pittsburg Men in Remarkable Test of Endurance, Four men in Pittsburg, Pa., the oth­ er day took part in a game of euchre in a large furnace which had been heated to a few degrees above com­ fort point. The stakes were $500 and the winner was to be the player who should throw down his cards last. The men, whose names were James T. Sherry, Edward Shan, Thomas Rowe and Ellis Matthews, took their places at a small deal table at 4 o’clock in the afternoon, when the furnace was heated to about 100 degrees. The temperature was raised every ten min­ utes, and the men, who wore nothing but their shirts, were soon somewhat warm. As the game progressed the cards began to curl up and became un­ manageable, then the legs of the table caught fire, but still the heroic four Played on. A trussed pigeon, which was in a dish beside the players, be­ gan to frizzle, but it was not until Shan’s right bower was well alight that he threw down his cards and bolted, followed two minutes later by Sherry. For -three minutes longer Rowe and Matthews continued to sit at the fast carbonizing table, when the latter, fearing he was going to faint, slowly withdrew, leaving Rowe the victor by fifty seconds, during which time he demolished the pigeon, which, according to his statement, “was done to a turn.” The Tail and the Short.

Roanoke, Va., Special—When George I Shields, a well known young business man, reached his home in the heart of the city at the luncheon hour Saturday he found his three-year-old daughter Mildren lying iu a pool of blood on the reception hall floor with two ugly wounds on the head. Following blood stains from the din­ ing room to an upstairs chamber, he found his wife lying in a pool of blood on a clothes closet floor, with her throat cut from ear to ear and her head horribly hacked. Mrs. Shields manag­ ed to gasp, “A large black negro man came through the kitchen and attacked me in the dining room.’’ Besides this there is no clue to the criminal. Mrs. Shields had been out­ raged after which her assailant dealt her several blows on the head with a hatctchet, fracturing the skull, dragged her up stairs where he cut her throat with a razor and threw her into the closet, fastening the door on the out­ side. The girl was struck to hush her cries. The dining room floor was cov­ ered with blood and showed there had been a terrible struggle. The doctors entertain but slight hopes for the re­ covery of either the mother or the child. Ever since the discovery of the trag­ edy a large crowd of citizens has been in the vicinity of the city jail watching to see if the officers carry any one into the building. At 8 o’clock Saturday night the crowd numbered more than 1,000 men. Mayor Cutchln has ordered Capt. Francis, of the Roanoke Blues military company, to assemble his men as a precautionary measure. By order of the mayor all the sa­ loons were closed at 8 o'clock. While Judge John Woods, of the Corporation Court, was pleading from the jail steps with the crowd in the streets to preserve order, some one in the crowd hurled a beer bottle at him. The missile barely missed its wark. At I I o’clock the crowd had dispursed. flade Fast Time. Ormand, Fla,, Special.—Fifty milos with four turns in forty minutes 49 4-5 seconds was the record made in the Ornvahd-Daytona beach course Satur­ day by W. K. Vanderbilt, Jr., in his SO-hose power machine. The event was for the American Automobile As­ sociation championship at that dis­ tance, open to all. The pace figures out 73 1-2 miles an hour, the best record ever made in America and al­ most as good as any straight-away rec­ ord for that distance in the world. In this long race Mr. Vanderbilt managed his machine admirably. To Settle With Creditors. Kansas City, Special.—Grant G. Gal- lett, the former cattle plunger, who fled to Mexico three years ago, has made a definite move to settle with his creditors, whom he owes an aggre­ gate sum estimated at $1,500,000. Local creditors have received a draft from Gillet for a sum sufficient to pay the expenses of a committee to go to Mex­ ico and inspect his mining holdings, from the development of which he hopes to pay his debts. The commit­ tee will start for Mexico about Feb­ruary 15. Effort to Introduce Negro Labor. Pittsburg. Pa., Special.—Fires in the Spang Chaltant Company Mills in Etna, where a strike had been on for several weeks, were lighted last night, and an effort will be made to start the plant in full in the morning under a guard of coal and iron police.

MoUtereyi Tex,, Special.—Word has been received from Victoria, capital of the State of Tamauilaps. that 14 men were killed In a mine accident near that city. Sixteen men, it is stated, were being hoisted out of the mine in a huge lift after their day’s work was done, and when near the surface the cable broke, precipitating all the metf to the bottom of the shaft .a distance of 1,500 feet. Fourteen were killed outright, one was serious­ ly injured and others are missing. All the dead were Mexicans of the poorer class Demands Vindication. Madrid, Jan. Special.—As a result of the press and parliamentary asper­ sions cast upon him for the part he played in the peace negotiations in Paris between the United States and Spain. Senator Monero Rios has de­ manded that the government submit the State correspondence and the documents connected with these nego­ tiations. The fulfillment of his de­ mand will probably give rise to heat­ed debate. Killed By Smoke. New York, Special.—One fireman was killed and 25 firemen were over­ come by smoke in a store-house of the American Manufacturing Company, in Brooklyn, last night Nine of the men . who were overcome were 30 seriously affected that they were taken to the hospitals. One of the is expected to die. The store-house contained jute, Manila hemp and bagging. The prop­ erty loss amounts to about $25,0911. TRAGEDE AT MONROE Tragic Ending of An Old Fued-The Particulars Hard to Get. Monroe, Special.—Wednesday morn­ ing at 11 o’clock the people of this place were much startled and dis­ tressed to know that a tragedy had been enacted in the store-room of the Heath-Lee Hardware Company, where­ in Mr. J. E. Wilhelm- was shot to death by Henry M. Eubanks. The principals are familiar figures here and the news of the homicide will be greatly deplored by their friends and acquaintances everywhere. Eubanks is a son of Thomas C. Eubanks, of this county, and a brother of Dr. J. E. Eubanks, the coroner of the county. He came to Monroe about two years ago and was engaged as salesman by the Heath-Lee Hardware Company at the time of the fatal occurrence. Last Sunday he was married to Miss Lula Doster, daughter of Mr. J. F. Doster, of this county, at Waxhaw. Mr. Wil­ helm has been living in Monroe six or eight years and has been connected with a distillery a store and some lumber business here and latterly in iSouth Carolina. For some time he or his wife conducted the old Central Hotel here and only moved Out of it about the first of this month. Aboiit Christmas some sensational stories Were to some extent circulated As to an alleged occurrence between Wilhelm and Eubanks at the Central Hotel where the latter boarded. The facts as to that difficulty are difficult to ascertain as also in the present in­ stance; but Eubanks came out of it .with bruises about the eyes and show­ ed signs of having been roughly hand­ led. This breach was apparently healed until the developments of this weelt showed the contrary. The facts as stated are closeiy withheld by tnose who know anything, but, it is said, Wilhelm approached Eubanks last Monday for an affidavit to clear up rumors. This Eubanks refused, ex­ cept to. clear himself. Tuesday after­ noon Wilhelm sought Eubanks for an­ other interview, which was apparently without result. Wednesday about 11 o’clock, while Eubanks was engaged In measuring off rope, he was ap­ proached again by Wilhelm and struck on the head twice with a piece of iron, being relied to the floor. Eu­ banks began' to fire and shot four times, three shots taking effect. One ball struck the left arm and ranged Up into the shoulder, One shot struck the left side three inches belorv left nipple, four inches to left of medion line, ranging upwards. One shot struck Wilhelm’s hand as he Was probably trying to wrench the pistol away from Eubanks. This is shown by blood on the pistol and powder stains on Wilhelm’s hand. The latter fell, and died in 30 minutes. He had no pistol, so far as known, while Eu­ banks was armed with two and seem­ ingly, therefore, expecting an attack. Eubanks surrendered to the sheriff at once and is now in jail. He has employed Redwine & Stack for his defense. Tar Heel Topics. Mention has been made of the fact that the State veterinarian went to in­ spect a herd of cattle at the “Home Farm,” at Swannanoa, near Asheville. There was a herd of 22 cattle there, and of these 18 have died. It appears that the ensilage Was improperly put up, and that this was the cause of the disease. The veterinarian has infor­ mation of deaths of cattle in several sections from worms. A year ago there was trouble from this cause. An as­ sistant inspected some cattle at Walnut Cove Suffering from this disease. Eight calves died there, from it The State Superintendent of Public Instruction has sent warrants to each of the four negro State normal schools for $1,060, and a warrant for the same amount to the Culowhee High School, in the Blue Ridge country, this being a normal school for whites.

Fifteen Crushed to Death, Victor, Coi., Special.—By the falling of a cage in the Stratoton Independ­ ence mine, located near the centre of this city, 15 men are dead and one severely injured. In the main shaft 16 men were being hoisted in a cage from the sixth, seventh and eighth levels. When the cage reached the surface the engineer, for some unex­ plainable reason, was unable to stop the engine, and the cage, with its load of human freight, was drawn up into the gallows frame, where it became lodged temporarily. The strain on the cable finally caused it to part, and the cable released, shot down the shaft with terrific speed. Harvey Vann H urt Wake Forest College, Special.—Mr. Harvey Vann, a student here and a son of Dr. H. T. Vann, of Raleigh, while hunting birds Wednesday afternoon was accidentally shot in the face, in­ flicting a serious wound. He is do­ ing well, however, and the doctors think he is out of danger. He was taken to the Rex Hospital, Raleigh, Wednesday evening, accompanied by a physician and some of the students. w . A. Duncan Commits Auicide. Roxboro, Special.—Mr. W. A. Dun­ can, a progressive and highly respected farmer of this county, committed sui­ cide Wednesday morning by hanging himself in his bam. He had been de­ spondent and showed signs of being demented for some time. Besides the loss of his mind there could have been no cause for the rash act, as his finan­cial affairs were in the best of shane and his family life wsb apparently of Ihe nappiest nature. Mr. Duncan was orut 40 years of age. A wife and four tliildien survive him. SiI M Klill III Tar Heel Topics. Proof of the guilt of William Allen, the negro in jail in Raleigh charged with murdering the wife of Bob Brldg- ers, and one of her children, is now complete. One child escaped Allen and will live, and this child says: “He killed mama; he struck her in the house; she ran; he ran after, her and killed her in the cotton patch, then he killed sister in the house and struck me.” It is found that-of the eight ne­ groes who went with Deputy Sheriff Daniels to capture Allen, only two stayed by him, the others leaving when the murderer was found barricaded in a house. Allen swore he would kill all who entered. Daniels kicked the door open and Allen struck at him- Volleys were then fired through the door, and Daniels forced the window open with a pole and got a view of the murderer, who then said he would surrender if they would spare his life. The largest and most valuable cargo of cotton ever shipped out of Wil­ mington for a foreign export was clear­ ed at the custom house there Monday evening aboard the British steamship “Oesano,” which sailed Tuesday for Liverpool with 17,038 bales valued at a million and a quarter dollors. The loading of the cargo in the face of ap­ parently insurmountable difficulties, the great scarcity of cotton, with an excited and irregular market, is re­ garded as one of the most remarkable commercial incidents of that port Charles Holcombe, a nine-year-old lad of Asheville, died Saturday night as the result of an injury received while out skating two weeks ago. Young Holcombe, in company with numerous others went to the ponds and lakes about Asheville during the extreme cold weather'the first of Jan­ uary and while skating he fell, strik­ ing his head on the ice.

Tlioruley, » Bride of Two Months, Stricken the Bay After SM Attended a Party* Niagara Falls, N. Y.-Tlie intensest excitement prevails on the frontier over the possibility of a great spread of smallpox. More than a hundred of the most prominent families of the city of Niagara Falls, Ont., as well as many on the American, side of the river, have been exposed. The particu­ lars are sensational iii the extreme. Mrs. Julian Thornley, a bride of less than two months and a social favorite, is ill with the disease.One evening recently she attended a social affair in the home of a prom­ inent society leader, where the amuse­ ment was progressive euchre, A no­ ticeable erruption had appeared on Mrs, Thornley’s face, and general com­ ment was made at the appearance of her complexion, but no one thought that she was stricken with the dread disease-The announcement was made by Dr. W- H. Hodge, of the American side of the river, who was called into consul­ tation. Women who were associated with Mrs. Thornley at cards, and par­ ticularly those whose wraps were left In the same room and in conjunction with hers, are wild with terror that they will contract the disease. There was a general rush for doctors and telephone calls were continuous. Fully eighty families were exposed. What adds additional seriousness to the situation is the fact that Mrs. Thornley attended a dancing reception at the City Hall some days ago, where the wealthiest persons In the Canadian city were represented. Prominent men from both sides of the river danced with her and were exposed to the dis­ ease. Vaccination has been general and the fumigation of clothes and wraps has been conducted in more than ISO households. The subject has been reported to Health Officer Dr. J. H. McGarry. He placed Mr. and Mrs. Thornley un­ der the strictest quarantine and has communicated with Dr. Brice, of To­ ronto, the provincial health officer, who is expected to quarantine every person who was exposed to the disease; If this is done it will practically paralyze business, for among the people present at the card ,party and the dance were representative lawyers, merchants, bank clerks, engineers and others, which will cause a great deal of inconvenience and discomfort.Mrs. Thornley was married less than two months ago and only recently re­ turned from her bridal tour. She either contracted the disease while abroad or while attending the military dance on the American side of the river on. January 8. There is a story abroad that a young man from Tona- wanda, N. Y„ attended the dance and was taken down with the disease next day, and he is said to have danced with Mrs. Thornley^ She is the wife of Julian Thornley, a youDg civil en­ gineer employed in the power works on the Canadian side. EX-MAYOR AMES GOES FREE. Supreme Court Upsets Conviction of St. Paul’s “Grafter.” St. Paul, Minn.—The Supreme Court quashed the indictment under which Dr. Albert Alouzo Ames, former Mayor of Minneapolis, was convicted and sen­ tenced to six years in State prison for graft. The action of the court makes Ames a free man. It came as a surprise. A new trial or even confirmation of the lower court’s sentence was expected. In vir­ tually a similar case the Mayor’s brother, Fred W. Ames, formerly chief of Police of Minneapolis, appealed to the Supreme Court after he had been convicted and sentenced to prison, but the court denied him a new trial, and he is now serving a six years’ sentence in the penitentiary.

NESS PROSPERITY. Th© TrotectiTQ Tariff System JIorc Thoraushly TrieA anA More Com. pletcly Tiudicated Than in Any Fre. Tions Period in Our History. it was tlie Springfield Bepnblican ivhieli said nearly six months ago that “the tariff is now on trial as the great causative and saving factor in the busi­ ness prosperity!” The Republican was right How weli and successfully has the wisdom of Nelson Dingiey and his associates been vindicated. That our present tariff was the great causative factor of our present prosperity few even among the free traders will ques­ tion, The fact was proved and settled iong ago. That it is the great saving factor of onr prosperity has also been proved and settled. Fear of any financial Or commercial panic is now past, although we have experienced causes enough to provoke a dozen crises had it not been for the great saving factor of our protective tariff, The trial has been prolonged and thorough, The pessimistic free trade press has made the most of every fall in the prices of our securities, every petty failure, every shut down of -a factory or industry, even though caused by a strike. Most alarming statements have been made, some con­ taining but a small portion of the truth, and yet the people have refused to be frightened, the commercial world has not abated its confidence in the situa­ tion, and prosperity has lost none of its hold, simply and soleiy because we are living under a protective tariff that was not only the causative factor of our prosperity, but is also the saving factor of that prosperity. There has been no similar period In the existence of the nation when we have been so sorely tried, commercial­ ly and financially, as during the past six months; and yet so far as the tar­ iff has any influence upon the situation not a single man has been thrown out of work, and not a single wage has been reduced. The strikes, particular­ ly in the building industries in the country, have resulted in the idleness of more than a huudred thousand men for a greater or less portion of time during the past few months. The ex­ orbitant high price of raw cotton has made its use almost prohibitive, and it has been necessary recently to meet this enhanced price of raw material by a slight reduction in the wages of operatives. The falling off in build­ ing and constructive enterprises has reduced to some extent the demand up­ on our iron and steel industries, and yet the business being done is very sat­ isfactory. The railroads of the coun­ try have been for months, and are still, unable to handle all the business of­ fered them, and the gross and net earnings of nearly every road in the country is still around high water mark regardless of the fact that the quotations of the stock of those roads have fallen In some cases from twenty to fifty per cent. It may be that the holiday business will not be the greatest we have known, and may fall off a trifle from that of last year and the year or two preceding. It will, however, be tre­ mendous in volume, and will show that the income earners of the country have still a large surplus to spend in har­ mony with the sentiment of the sea­ son. The outlook for another year is bright indeed. With the promise that no further change shall be made in our tariff law beyond the Cuban reciproc­ ity treaty, we are sure of a huge vol­ ume of employment and a maintenance of the high wages now enjoyed by all. Never in our history was a tariff law so thoroughly tried and so Uioroughly vindicated as has been the iaw under which we are now living. There is no reason why, for a decade or even for a generation to come, in spite of all precedents, we should not continue to enjoy prosperity, providing that we do not further reduce our duties. Moreover, there is no reason why we should, not enjoy still increased pros­ perity if we should increase the duties upon commodities, which wonld insure a home production instead of impor- tations on commodities amounting to nearly half'a billion dollars annually. Much as we need greater protection to certain industries, it is perhaps bet­ ter on the whole that we do not change the tariff in any respect for some time to ceme. Let it remain as it is, the „reat saving factor, as it has been the causative factor of our prosperity, which need not cease so long as we are wise enough to let well enough alone. Grave of Concord Drummer. The grave of William Difond, th- drummer at the Concord fight, hai been discove-ed at Peterboro, N. H Nullification* To urge reciprocity is to confess that a forbidding tariff is not good for na­ tions, sis compared with a lesser re­ striction; that the tariff which ex­ cludes is not good in comparison with the tariff which admits. Reciprocity acknowledges the disadvantages and injuries resulting from absolute protec­ tion or exclusion. It is a qualification. —St. Louis Republic, No fault can be fonnd with this de­ finition by a free trade newspaper. It is obviously and unquestionably true that to enter upon the system of reci­ procity In competing products is to de­ clare that protection is wrong. Pro­ tection contemplates the exclusion of competitive products. It contem­ plates that the republic shall do its own work. Reciprocity In competitive products sontemplatcs that an in­ creased and constantly increasing share of the republic's work shall be done by foreigners, The two policies cannot go hand in band. They com­ pletely nullify each other. Obvions Ioeic. It is quite possible to largely reduce the duties on articles which have whol­ ly or nearly outgrown the need of pro- tection, and yet find a sufficient basis for reciprocal concessions in the mar­ gin of protection retained,—St. Paul Pioneer Press, That is exactly equivalent to saying that you can have protection and free trade at one and the same time; tiiat you can retain the home market and give it away. It is not possible to grasp the truth of the proposition that to reduce or remove t -e duties that are no longer needed will not help to bring about reciprocity! What the foreigner will demand as his share ot the dicker is the privilege to sell more of his goods in this market. Unless we have that privilege there is no reci­ procity for him, and if he is to have it we must reduce or remove duties that are needed. The logic of this is so ob­ vious and so indisputable that it be­ comes impossible for any Republican to advocate reciprocity in competitive products and at the same time remain a protectionist. The Only Honest Scheme. We have no profound belief in the advantages of any kind of reciprocity with Canada, because there can be no reciprocity which will not operate to the disadvantage of some American producers, but if there is any reciproc­ ity at all it should be universal. Admit everything from Canada free in re­ turn for.corresponding concessions for all American products in the Canadian markets, and thus let every American industry share the benefits as well as the burdens of reciprocity. This is the only honest and fair reciprocal scheme which could by any possibility oe devised.—Seattle Post-Intelligen- ;er. The Ninety Per Cent. Market. Although our large excess ot exports are due in a measure to the unprece­ dented high price of cotton, yet our exports of manufactures are also on the increase and bid fair to show fit the future a still greater increase than has been shown in the past. This is as it should be. If we are able to make more than we can consume, then let us seek foreign markets for our surplus of manufactures as we do for our sur­ plus of agricultural products, but in doing so let us enter into no reciprocal arrangements that will In the least de­ gree impair our home market, wt re w j must sell over ninety per cent, of our productions. IinastBary Debts. Cuba’s imports from the United States fell off last year, but there was an increase in its imports from Spain, France and Germany.- The Cubans have a right to buy where they please. Uncle Sam is also at liberty to request that he should hear no more about im­ aginary “debts of honor” to Cuba.— St. Louis G iobe.Democrat. A Rattlesnake in His Pillow. Most persons will agree that a live rattlesnake would not make a very de­ sirable pillow, and George Peck of San Bernadino, Cal., who recently actual­ ly had sUch an experience while on a hunting trip, does not attempt to dis­ pute the commonly accepted opinion. Night overtook Peck in a lonely can­ yon .several miles from his town, and he sought refuge in a rude shelter that he found there. The night being warm he removed his coat and placed it un­ der his head. In the morning he found that a six- foot rattlesnake had crawled into one of the sleeves of the coat and had coil­ ed up in the center of the Improvised pillow. Peck killed the reptile, and now has Its nineteen rattles as a memento of his-unusual experience.

CATCHING COLD Jn tlie UeRlnning of Efost 1WliiIer Ail* lnents—Fe-ru-na Protect * Against and Cures Colds. Tliere is no fact of medical science better established than that a teaspoonful of Pe- rima before each meal during the winter oil will absolutely protect a person from cacuning cold. Now, if this is true (and there ia no doubt of it), thousands of lives would be saved, and tens of thousands of eases of chronic catarrh prevented, by this simple precaution within reach c-f every one.After a cold has been contracted a tea­ spoonful of Peruna every hour will shortly cure it, leaving no trace of it behind. After chronic catarrh has become established, or the first stages o! chronic bronchitis or consumption hare been reached, it will take much longer to effect a cure.It seems strange that as well known ana well established as these facte are any one should neglect to profit by them, and yet no doubt there are many who pay little or no attention to them and go on catching cold, acquiring chronic catarrh, bronchitis and consumption.

It is extreme and despotic poli­ tics which will traduce the dead, especially a famous and valiant general of marked integrity, loyal­ ty and ability, The charge that Gen Longstreet disobeyed orders at Gettysburg is untrue. The grand assnlt of Pickett and Petti­ grew was under Lougsfereet. Tlie motives of Longstreet was never impugned by Lee, and on points of honor and executive ability be was evei held in the highest es­ teem, and when the terrible trad- gy closed and the cnrtain was drawn at Appomattox he stood by Lee with his sword on.

And Alexatder is dead. The edict w tnt forth that- Alexander must die becanse he had' grievous­ ly siuiicd. Alexander had con­ quered all the cats with which be ever came in contact. This done he yet could not content himself. He - must find something upon which to vent, his fierce, belliger­ ent spirit, aud so this war-like specimen of the cat triDe turned his attention to—what do you think?—-a hog.

It seems to us that the greatest campaigns our apers our clergymen, our speakers, onr officials to now, is teaching the uphold - the law. Officials especially d be chosen this year who the manhood and the desire ve the laws upheld. Take Viitts1 Law, for instance, while Jicve it is far from a good from carrying out what was sled, prohibition, we believe it should be enforced.

W hile an official may try o do his duty, yet if public seuti lent favors the law breaker it is early impossible to convict one of I or stop the crime, i'aere is mu one offense committed against he law in our State that it seems he law reaches after and punishes 'ithout reserve—it is the hungry ellow who steals a chicken or a iig.

Twen­ ty odd states were represented, and it was one of the most success­ ful conventions ever held. The Republican editors of the New York Association met with us, so we had a large gathering. Mr. John A.. Slcicher editor of Prank Leslie’s popular monthly presided over the convention, an d Mr. D. O BnuuelI of the Dansville Advertiser was secratary. The editors met in the Arlington Hotel Thurstlay evening at 8 o'clock R. M. and listened to ?n ante and in­ teresting address from the presi­ dent of the Association, ac the conclusion of the address Ex- Gov. Black of N. Y. was introduced, and he made a magnificant speech, which was followed by an able address by Senator Depew. The next pleasure of the evening was the iDtrodnction of Gov. Taft re­ cently returned from Manila, and he reviewed the work in the Island and spoke of its needs and future. At the conclusion ot which the editors were introduced, aud shook hands with the three notables. The Convention then adjourned for the day and repaired to the W hite House and atteudeI a re­ ception giveu by the President and Mrs. Roosevelt, which was largely attended by Representives, U. S, Senators, the U. S. Snpreiue Court Judges, Army Officers and Foreign diplomatic representatives. The W hite House was a scene of beauty, beautiful women, aud well dressed iuei> were there in great numbers. The Presideent vas at bis best, and w,as assisted by Mrs Roos :velt and the wives of the CabinAmembers1 beautifully at­ tired. TheM arineband discour­ sed popular music for the occa­ sion. To one who had never at­ tended snch a reception it was a revelation. On Friday morning the editors again met, and listened to the dis­ cussion of various topics at the conclusion of which the Associa­ tion elected officers for the next year. AU the old officers were reele-i ted, and an executive committee was then named with one member from each state, the editor of the R ecord was uamed for North Carolina, after which the Conven- ti m adjourned for dinner, and at 2:30 P, M. attended a reception at the W hite House given especially to the editors, and each member was introduced to the President, to each of whom he had sometbiug pleasant to say. Below we give the President's speech to the edi­ tors on this occasion. “ I need hardly say bow glad I am to welcome you here to Wash­ ington, and Iam sure, also, that it [isalm ost unnecessary for me to express my realizing sense of the importance of the work ' that you do. In the proper sense of the term, no man is more essentially a a public servant than the editor, the man who iu the public press not merely gives the news, but ex­ ercises so great a cont»ol over the thougr.tof onr country. And in speaking to you as my fellow Re­ publicans I wish you to know how every man here in Washington who is striving to do what in him lies to serve his party or make that party serve the country, realizes the dependence npou yon aud those like you throughout this land for making his purpose eff ective. It is upon your interpre­ tation of the acts done here that we must depend for having those acts received at tbeir proper worth by the people as a whole. I feel very strongly that what we need is simply to have the exact truth told, to have wbat we have done set forth as it has been done and to have our purposes interpreted in the light not merely of our words, but of our deeds; and you know that that is all our ne-.-d, and to meet that need we depend ab­ solutely upon you. Feeling this ury building facing House and the entire photographed. On Friday night the editors and their wives were invited by Sena­ tor and Mrs. Depew to a- reception and banquet at their elegant man­ sion the “Corcoran H ouse/’ It is useless for us to attempt to describe the elegance of this reception. The Senator and Mrs. Depew were as­ sisted by Senator aud Mis. Platt of New York. Mr. D. O. Bunnell our Secretary stood near the re­ ceiving paity and introduced each as they came forward. This fa­ mous nouse, was resplendant witL its rich furnishings, aud each and every room was beautifully deco­ rated lor the occasion. TheScnator was everywhere, locking after the entertainment of bis guests, and Mis. Depew the beautiful and ac­ complished wife of the Senator had a cordial handshake and a pleasant word for each. The edi-> tor thought of the stories of Fairy­ land, surrounded as he was on all sides by beautiful women and ele­ gant men, with the soft mellow lights adding to the euchantment. The banquet was elegant, the table was loaded with viands which would have tempted the most fas­ tidious epicure. Every’ one in attendance went away charmed by the entertainment. Senator and MrsvDepew are model entertainers and the North Carolina editor will always carry in memory pleasant recollections of the elegant host, and of the charming, accomplished aud beautiful hostess. In conclusion, we wish to say that for much of the pleasure of our trip we are indebted to new' made friends of the press, and we wish to especially thauk our friend Mr. Ghns. 8 . Francis of the Troy Times for many courtesies extend­ ed. To each and every oue we ex­ tend onr thauks for each and every eourlcsy extc idel to us on our trip. Mental Strain AffectedGen* eral Health.

They see in this em inently sensible move of C ham berlain’s a repe­ tition of w h ath aso ccu rred in th e U nited Slates—“seltish interests” allow ed to bear a hand in the arrangem ent of tariff schedules! Strange, is it not, th a t the B ritish Tariff Comm ission is so constituted? Strange t l a t M cKinley in 1S90 aud Dingley in 1897 called in the experts of th e industrial w orld to supply the inform ation necessary as a prelim inary to the intelligent fram ing of tbe tariff schedules.' W hat does a dom estic producer of textiles know about the cost of labor and of m aterials th a t form the m ajor portion of the cost of production ? W hat do the A m erican potters and silk m akers know of the difference betw een production cost in the U nited S tates an d in Saxony aud F rance? H ow is it possible for the m en w ho m ake the goods to be correct­ ly inform ed on these points to supply in­ form ation w ithout w hich practical tariff m aking w onld be a hopeless undertak­ ing? T h a t seem s to be th e view of the Tim es aud Evening Fost. Im porters aud free trade college professors are th e ones w ho should m ake our tariffs, according to these high lights. Joseph Cham berlain thinks different­ ly. H e is planning to snbm it a protcc- tiro tariff schem e for adoption by G reat B ritain, and he is going about it in th e rig h t w ay w hen he relies upon incu of experience and practical know l­ edge for the facts aud conditions w hich m ust govern th e form ation of his new fiscal system . H e prefers to deal w ith th e m en w ho know rath er than w ith th e m en -who think m uch an d know very little. H is T ariff Comm ission is a so rt of com m ittee on w ays and m eans, and will hold tariff hearings very m uch as our Congressional com- 5 m ittees do. T he B ritish Com niissioni is to begin about the m iddle of Jam iary j to hold m eetings tw ice a w eek before] w hich OtliLT representatives of the in-i dustrial and com m ercial interests of th e kingdom will be invited to present facis, and presum ably opinions, bear­ ing upon the great fiscal question.

F tom 1780 to 1903, inclusive, is 114 years. D uring fifty-five and one-half years of th a t period the U nited States has been under a protective tariff, and fifty-eight and one-half years under a low tariff. The real value to us of either tariff is — how m uch foreign money w e can take in for goods sold over an d above the money w e pay ou t to foreign coun­ tries fo r goods bought. The excess of money received is national gain. H ow does our foreign cash account for m er­ chandise bought an d sold during the 114 years stand?

It spares no class or nationality. The cul­tured and the ignorant, the aristocrat and the pauper, tbe masses and the classes are alike subject to la grippe. None are ex­ empt—all are liable. Have you the grip? Or, rather, has the grip got you? Grip is well named. The original French term, la grippe, has been shortened by the busy American to read *‘grio.” W ithout intending to do eo a new word has been coined that exactly describes the case. As if some hideous giant withi awful Grip had clutched us in its fatal clasp. Men, women, children, whole towns and cities are caught in the baneful grip of a terrible monster. The Iollowmg letters speak for them* selves as to the efficacy of Pcruua in ca*es. of la grippe or its after effects. A fter Effects of La Grippe J Eradicated by P c-I1 tt-na. 3Irs. Fred Weinberger, Westerlo, Albany County, N. Y., writes:“Several years ago I had an attack of Ia ia grippe which left me worse. I had tried three good physicians, but all in vain.

Bryant Ave., Minneapolis, Minn., writes: llLa^r spring I suffered frcra la grippe and was partially cured, but the bad after effects remained through the summer, and somehow I did not. get strojig as I was be­fore. One of my college friends who was visiting me asked me to try Peruna and I did so, and'found it all and more than I had expected. -It not only cured me of the catarrh, but restored me to perfect health, built up the entire system and brought a happy feeling of buoyancy which ! had not known for years.”—Aiice M.

According to an article ,in the Cincin­ nati Commercial, a fifty-one= pound stone was recently found in th at city secreted in a bale of hay of eighty pounds. This is not as bad as finding a lump of lead of nearly one-half the weight ol the fioud gold watch case secreted in the cen­tre of the case. Gold watch cases arc sold by weight, and no one can see where this lead is secreted until .the springs of the case are taken out and the lead will be found secreted behind them. These cases are made by companies who profess to be honest, but furnish the means to the dishonest to rob the public.' I t is not measant for anyone to find that he has lugged a lump of lead in his watch case. Another trick of the makers of spurious fohd gold watch cases is to stamp the case U. S. Assay.- The United States does not stamp any article made out of gold and silver except coin, and the fakir, bv using this stamp, wants to make the public be­ lieve that the Government had something to do with the stamping or guaranteeing the uneness of watch cases. Another trick of the watch fakir is to advertise a watch described as a solid gold Idled watch with n twenty or twenty-five- year guarantee. These watches are gener- ally sent C. 0. D., and if the purchaser has paid for the watch he finds that the com­ pany which guaranteed the watch to wear is not in existence. The Dueber-IIaiupden W atch Company, of Canton, Ohio, who aro constantly ex- posmg these frauds, will furnish the names of the manufacturers who are in this ques­tionable business.

A s th e cam paign period of th e cur­ ren t year approaches there are fast- gatheririg signs th a t it is going to he m arked by an unw onted and rigorous assau lt upon th e citadel of protection; “unw onted,” because it is now m ore th an a decade since th e opponents of th e party in pow er h a re m ade an intel­ ligent and concerted effort to oust it in a battle pitched upon “tariff reform ” lines; “vigorous!” because these sam e opponents, having now throw n aw ay th e w eapons and abandoned th e tactics th a t have tw ice brought them over­ w helm ing defeat, are in a m easure des­ perate an d determ ined, apparently, to turn back and rally again under the only slogan th a t h as ever contributed to their political success in a stretch of forty-four years—and only tw ice, at that. They fail utterly, how ever, to recog­ nize th e v ast difference betw een the political; financial, industrial and gen­ era! com mercial conditions th a t m arked the periods ju st preceding th e cam ­ paigns ' of 188-4 and 1S92 and those w hich now prevail. I f repeated Republican victories -throughout nearly half a century have proved anything they have dem on­ strated tlie puissant w isdom ot the par­ ty ’s founders in m aking protection its chief cornerstone. As often as th a t policy has been discredited by popular vote ju st so often has th e country’s prosperity shrunk and vanished; ju st so often have industry aud trade lan­ guished under the blight of the change; ju st so often have th e profits of busi­ ness been dim inished and th e earnings of th e w orkingm an been shrivelied. If experience has tau g h t th e people any­ one lesson m ore thoroughly and last­ ingly than another, it has surely taught them th e folly of attem pting to im prove good tim es by destroying the chief fac­ tor in th e creating of them .

Some have gone so fa r as to say th a t th e Dingley law is responsible for the falling off of the exports of farm products. I t so hap­ pens th a t m ost of th e products w hich have show n a decrease in export arc on the free list. T here h as been no de­ crease in th e production of farm pro­ ducts; No one has been com plaining because his corn crop or Ms w heat crop h as been a failure. Prices also arc good. I f th e exports have fallen off it m eans th a t instead of selling in a. for­ eign m arket th e farm ers are selling a t home. E very one is em ployed and- is a ‘ consum er. H om e people are consum ­ ing hom e products. T he farm er is feeding his neighbors in A m erican com m ercial centres. B ut th e farm ers w ould not have a chance to do this w ere it no t for th e fact th a t the pres­ en t tariff schedules m ake it possible for th e factories to w ork night an d day to m ake goods for th e hom e and for­ eign m arkets.

In England It H eans a Preference For Protection and N ot H osillity Toward It, F o r nearly tw enty years a certain portion of our free traders, w ho have not had th e courage to call a spade 'a spade, have been talking about “tariff reform .” P articularly did Mr. Cleve­ land and bis follow ers use IM s term , m eaning, of covu-se, from their point of view a reform of th e tariff In th e w ay of low er Im port duties. A lthough there w ere no reasons why these free traders should have a mo­ nopoly of this term , and although ‘.‘tariff reform ” m ay m ean a revision up as w ell as down, y et the term has very generally been conceded to be a change of duties indefinitely tow ard free trade. Now, how ever, th e protectionists of G reat B ritain are using the term “ tariff reform ” as indicating a return from free, trade to protective tariff In th a t country, and from the outset it is con­ ceded th a t “tariff reform ” in G reat B ri­ tain m ust be a changing from free trade to protection, w hile in the Uni­ ted S tates it h as been generally ac­ cepted as a change from protection to free trade. “B eform " h as alw ays been a m isnom er and used in a deceptive sense, and a “reform er” has alw ays been a -person w ith questionable de­ signs and deceptive m ethods. The “C entury D ictionary” gives as a defi­ nition of “ta n ff reform :” "A rem oval ot inequalities or abuses in a tariff system ; specifically, in recent A m erican politics, a reform favoring a general reduction of im port duties, es­ pecially on raw m aterials, and in gen­ eral a m ovem ent aw ay from protec­ tion.” B ut Mr. C ham berlain and his follow­ ers w ill hardly accept this definition in G reat B ritain, and the term had better bo abandoned in both Countries. A s the Econom ist has repeatedly show n and proven w e m ust have either protection or free trade, aud as w e m ust either h av e' protection or free trade, ".ve had better talk protection or free trade. I t is tru e th a t a good many of our free traders have had tlie cour­ age of their convictions, and are not afraid of asking for w hat they w ant. In this respect the F ree T rade League and its officers m ust be commended, as the term “tariff reform ” does not seem to be in th eir vocabulary. If the tariff is to be th e issue of th e com ing cam ­ paign le t us get our term s rig h t in the beginning, and base our argum ents and reach our conclusions upon the desire of one of Uie tw o system s, Tvhieh w e m ust, and m aintain protection or free trade. Truly a B ’g Thing. T he printer’s devil—or is it th e ofiice cat?—seem s to have been turned !oose on economics in the editorial columns of th e Buffalo Express. W itness: ‘Cuba is planning a pew tariff law w ith som ew hat higher rates of duty, to ake effect a t about th e sam e tim e w ith . lie reciprocity treaty. A s th e prefer­ ence to th e U nited States is on a per­ centage basis, this w ill m ake the con­ cession even m ore valuable.” A m erican exporters w ill have no trouble in figuring out their advantages In th e new Cuban tariff. T hey will discover, for exam ple, th a t if th e rate on a p air of shoes should be advanced to 820 a pair their net g ain ,.at tw enty- five per cent, off, w ould Ie $5 on every p air sold in Cuba. Still better w ould be a rate of $100, for then their advan­ tage over all other com petitors w ould be $25 per pair. Yes; th e increased tariff is going to be a big thing for A m erican exporters'. E a tirelf Selfish* E very suggestion so fa r relative to C anadian reciprocity has been a selfish one.. T he m illers of M inneapolis are ready to accept free w heat from Can­ ada. In fact, they insist upon it re­ gardless of th e interests of anybody else. T he farm im plem ent m anufactur ers are w illing to get all they can re­ gardless of any sacrifice of anybody else. Such pe'orle try to m ake such doctrines appear to be broad, national and patriotic. A s a rale, every fellow thinks any cause is patriotic th a t w ill help his. particular line of business. If it is desirable to have reciprocity w ith C anada, le t C anada concede som ething th a t w ill help us. A t the present tim e C anadian coal com es into the U nited S tates free of duty, yet C anada m aintains a j duty against A m erican coal. ,.Fair play, so far, has had no p a rt in th e dismission relative to - C anadian reciprocity.—D es M oines C apital.'

The cough and the sneeze and nasal tivang are to be heard on every band. Xhe origin of chronic catarrh,- the most com­ mon and dreadful of diseases, is a cold. This is the way the chronic catarrh gen­ erally begins. A person catches cold.w ltich bangs on longer than usual. The cold generally starts in the head and throat. Then follows sensitiveness of the air pas­sages which Inclhic one to catch cold very easily. A t last the person has a cold all the while seemingly, more or less discharge from the nose, hawking, spitting/frequent clearing of the throat, nostrils stopped up, full feeling in the head and sore, inflamed throat. The best time to Ii1Cat catarrh is at the very beginning. A bottle of Peruna prop­ erly used never fails to cure a common cold, thus preventing chronic catarrh. While many people have been cured ot chronic catarrh by a single bottle of Pc- runa, yet, as a rule, when the catarrh be­comes thoroughly fixed, more than one bot­tle is necessary to complete a cure. Pe- runa has cured cases innumerable of ca­tarrh of twenty years’ standing. It is the best, if not the only internal remedy for chronic catarrh in existence. But prevention is far better than cure. Every person subject to catching cold should take Peruna at once at the slight­ est symptom of cold or sore throafc-afc this season of the year and thus prevent what is almost certain to end in chronic catarrh. Mrs. A. Sncdekcr writes: “I saw* that your catarrh remed.v.

Follow ing closely upon th a t disaster th e following spe­ cial is given from F riday's Charlotte Observer; T he buildings of th e Greensboro Fe­ m ale College w ere destroyed by fire Thursday m orning. AU the inm ates escaped. About 3 o’clock M iss.TransoUi.a stu­ dent from Ashecoiini.y, was awakened "by suffocating smoke in her room, and a t once gave th e alarm . The fire was in the second story, in th e L of the building bask of the auditorium and over the music room. Being some dis­ tance from the sleeping apartm ents, all the sleeping Occupants Were aroused, and had tim e to dress, secure their val­ uables, their trunks, etc., and escape w ithout injury, and w ith rem arkable absence of excitem ent or panic into the bitterly cold night, m ade brilliant in a few m om ents by the glare from the flames bursting out of the roof Df the rear buildings. The fife departm ent reached th e scene in good tim e and connected w ith the tw o hydrants available, but it was realized from the state of the fife Vvhen discovered th at nothing short of a fire boat would have been sufficient to have cheeked the flames, which were roaring m ountain- high from tho fourth story attic of the L when they arrived. ItTwas a large three-story briclc structure; w ith an im posing frontage; arid a deep L. and the flames though surely destroying every vestige of the buildings, were de­ liberate enough to enable the m any ready hands from the citizens who were awakened and th e splendid as­ sistance of the faculty and students, to save nearly every thing of value in the way of trunks, w earing apparel, furni­ ture, bedding, etc. The occupants on the third floor, including the m em bers of th e faculty, were tne principal suf­ ferers, some of these losing everything of their personal belongings. No one was injured physically, alid homes a t the hotels and private dwellings were a t once available for all to be taken care of. The greatest loss in the way of equipm ent was th a t of pianos, all save the two which were on the first boor being burned. The buildings were erected to replace those destroyed by fire about, IC years ago, and have been m aterially im proved since. The orig­ inal structure cost $60,000, and was built under th e supervision of Dr. D. W. C. Benbow, and the thick walls which now stand intact and nncracked are a testim onial to the thoroughness of his work. T he property is valued a t $125,000, on which there is tt bonded indebtedness of $40,000. There is 535,- 000 insurance on th e buildings, and $5,000 on the boiler; the latter, how­ ever, not being insured , agaiiist fire loss. The Greerisb'oro fire insurance com panies have not a dollar of risk on these buildings and escape all loss thereby. The com panies carrying in­ surance are as follows; Royal Ex­ change, London, $2,500; Orient, of H artford, $2,500; the American, of Philadelphia, $2,500; N orth Carolina Home, of Raleigh, $2,500; the Ameri­ can, of Philadelphia, $2,500:! N orth C arolina Home, Ot Raleigh, $2,500; the N orthern, of London, $5,000: the Phoe­ nix, of Brooklyn, $5,000; the Liver­ pool & London & Giobe, $5,000; George Home, $5,000; Germail-American, of New York, $2,500; W estchester; of New York, $2,500, The individual losses fail heaviest on those m em bers of the faculty who had their apartm ents in the third story. Of these, Misses Shattuck, Blaylock, F ish­ er, Davis and M cDonald lo3t nearly everything, a considerable portion of th a t belonging to Miss Page, even to her silverware, being saved w ithout her knowledge; it is said th a t this loss could have been averted, had not these brave, noble women, in their ef­ forts to keep order and system in the student body, and save as much as pos­ sible of their effects, lost sight entirely of their own property and gave no in­ tim ation w hatever of its not having been looked after, There was a m eeting of th e entire student body attd the faculty a t W est M arket Street iviethodist. church a t 10 o’clock Thursday m orning, w hen a com m ittee was appointed to look after all m atters necessary for the proper Comfort and assistance of those w ho lost their clothing, and' to arrange for their going home.

The Situation Explained In Detail— Reasons Are Given for Conflict. So fa r as C orea is concerned, w hen iiirie years ago Japan achieved h er brilliant-trium ph OVfcr Ciiinay she w as battling for essentially th e sam e thing she is battling for now , th e in­ teg rity ^and independence of th e h er­ m it ldttgdofil tinder Japanese control, and th e consequent opening 6f it to th e trad e and enlightenm ent of th e w orld. Then; in dictating term s of PfeHce to Cttittaj She wfcnt fu tth er and dem anded and obtained th e Liao Tung peninsula, giving assurance, how ever, th a t all other nations would bU perm itted to enjoy in th a t territo ry the sam e com m ercial advantages sho desired for herself. The treaty, Known as the tre aty of Shim oneski, w as signed on A pril 17, 1895; but drew forth an im m ediate protest from R ussia on th e plea th a t Japanese' occupation of th e periirisula would be a m enace to the' peace of th e F ar E ast, In this R ussia induced G erm any and F rance to join her, and all these' bdgari th reatening prepara­ tions, and G reat B ritain, tlieri under th e Rosebury governm ent, w hile not uniting in th e protest, advised Japan ttt yield, as under th e circum stances she could do nothing else. She w ith­ drew , and as things tiirned out, Rus­ sia WaS siiriply m aking a Cat’s paw of th e pow ers. Slie prevented Japan from holding the- peniristtla because she w anted 'it herself. Strttigm w ay shfe' proceeded to ocupy it, arid to build form idable fortifications a t its extrem ity, and subsequently seizing the opportunity presented by th e Box­ er m ovem ent, she incited a side issue With China, clam ing th a t th e C hinese had m uddied tlie (dream in M anchur­ ia, and grabbed tliat Provlflcei w hich is th e hinterland of th e periiiisuia.

A nother bril­ lia n t trium ph for Japanese arm s— particularly a victory over Russia, who of all people are m ost-dreaded and hated by the b etter class of the Chinese—Would, In th e Opinion of inariy, be th e beginning of the end of StiiTing the ja p ’s iriaiiiifiild cousins to fin appreciation of th e ir Own pow­ er.

I bad used medicines and washes internally and externally until I. made up ay mind that there was no relief for me. Calling at the home of a friend. I noticed a bottle of Iiyclia E. Pinkiiam’s Vegretable Compound* Mr frioad endorsed it highly and I decided to give it a trial to see if it would heip me. it took patience and perseverence for I was in bad condition, and I used Lyilia E, Piu& bam ’s vegetable Compoimd for nearly five months before I was cured, but what a change, from despair to happiness, from misery to the delightful exhilarating feeling health always brings. I would not chunge back for a thousand dollars, ana your Vegetable Compound is a grand medicine. ■‘I wish every sick woman would try it and be convinced.” — Mrs. Ida Haskell, Silver L ake, Mass.

THYINO TO MAKE JOHN BULL JEALOUS. A IOWA IDFA ONCE MORE GOVERNOR CUMMINS GOT STARTED AND COULDN'T STOP. Wide Open liceiprocity In Competitive Products Advocated l)y n .Tlieorist Who Is Unaware of the Fact That It WeiUd Be Fi1Ce Trade* Govenior Cummins evidently does not intend to drop out ol' sight as a tariff ripper. To be merely the Chief Executive of the greatest o£ Agricul­ tural States is not enough. He pro­ poses to take a liand in National affairs —to become a figure ot National promi­ nence. With this, cud in view, as may be fairly supposed, he devoted a large part of his inaugural message of Jan­ uary 14 to the subject of tariff,reform and reciprocity. He would reform the tariff downward through reciprocity, and he would invite all the world to share in the distribution of benefits to accrue from the lowering of our tariff bars. Ue would begin with Canada, and then would follow Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and all the coun­ tries of Central amt Soutil America. He would summon ail the nations of ttie earth—all bnt one—to the feast at which the privileges of the great American market are to he cut up in slices and handed around. Great Britain, which buys of our products nearly as much as all the rest of the world pnt together, shall not be bidden to the banquet. Having uo tariff Io dicker with, she is not wanted, Imt may get an invitation later on when she shall have put up some tariff bars of her own. .Tust now she admits ail of our exports free of duty: and, of course, she should not receive any "consideration in the shape of lower du­ ties 011 Iier exports to the United States, AU these favors arc reserved for countries which discriminate against the products of ouf country. Xliat seems to he the Cummins’ idea of fair play and commercial ethics. It Is the general reciprocity idea. Before yon can obtain any tariff, concessions from the United States you must put a stiff tariff on our products, so as to have something to take off. I'liiversai reciprocity is the ultimate of Governor Cummins’ plan. In other words, universal free trade. It comes to that in the long run. Nobody knows this, better than Cummins. He is per­ fectly well aware that reciprocity in competing products means free trade, 'fiiat is why he favors it, His protesta­ tions of.devotion to the principle aud policy of protection appear ludicrous in the light of such a declaration as the following: “I go further. Wc oau make treaties with Central aud South America, with France, Germany, Spain and Italy, that will immensely increase our exports of mainifactures to those countries, so that for every man deprived of employ­ ment here we can put to work ten.” There 3011 arc! Let down the bars to all creation, give ever- country the right to come in and undersell our pro­ ducers ill a market of eighty millions of liberal buyers and heavy consumers, and in return we shall so increase our owu sales to the pboriy paid people of other lands—papuers by contrast with our owu prosperous population—that for every one of onr workers deprived o'f employment by the new competition ten workers will Be needed in the in­ dustries to be built up by reciprocity! Such is the* vision that comes in a pipe dream. Ten for one! Why, at that rate we should do all the manufactur­ ing, and more, too, in certain lines than the W hole world would require, and competitors ill those lines would be driven out of business.- TPhat then? Would there also be a ten-to-one de­ mand for the displaced labor 111 the countries which had consented to in­ dustrial disembowelment?* It must be so, or else there is something wrong with the Cummins’ scheme of uni­ versal reciprocity. Nb; the simple fact is that Governor Cummins has Just gone wild over reci­ procity, just as evei^ man is morally certain to go, in greater or less degree, who abandons the broafi, safe way of protection to ail industry and all labor, to enter upon- the crooked, narrow, blind labyrinths of reciprocity in com­ peting products. Like Cummins,, once you have got started in that direction, you don’t know where to stop. . You can’t stop! 1 v - CIiamberlatntS AHuringr I’ro'granu It is a very alluring programme. Both the city laborer and the country laborer are to live more cheaply under, tne Chamberlain tax than before. rJ iiere is to be a wider market for Brit­ ish exports, and a smaller market for foreign imports.. The agricultural el­ ements are to share with the inauufae. luring elements in the new prosperity. The'foreigner is to pay the tax, but where the foreigner is colonial the tax will not be burdensome. Whatever r.nybody tliinks of Mr. Chamberlain’s political economy, nobody is likely to deny the shrewdness of his appeal to the voters of Crreat Britain.-Detroit Free Press.

Yndicatioiie That the Foliey IW iil Be Adopted XhrotiKhont the World. In view of the probable outcome of Joseph Chamberlain’s crusade in Great Britain, the Springfield Republican in­ clines io the belief that: “Protection rather than free trade is to be the final policy 01' nations, aud high tariff is to be clung to in perpe­ tuity.” Thiiity years ago Garfield proclaimed IiimseK "for that protection which, leads to free trade.1’ This was a vis­ ional^ concept which conld. only be realized by the universal equalizing <.< conditions such as wage rates, stand­ ards of living, cost of production, etc.:. a state of equality as nearly impossible as that there should be two hills with­ out a valley between; in short, the mil- leuninm. Oulliviug Garfield by twen­ ty-three years, the Keptibliean is en­ abled to see that universal free trade cannot be aud that universal protec­ tion ean bo aud is near at hand. But now comes a new cause of worry. Your free trader is never happy unless life can Iiud some cause for worry. Thus the ltepublican: “But when all cugage with equal zeal in preventing each from becoming a dumping place for the surplus produc­ tion of the others, who is to be a net gainer from the polity ot tariff and whence' is to come its advantage? Ob­ viously loss balances gain all around, and the policy has nothing to show for itself in the case of any nation. In passing upon the new ground of justi­ fication. it seems to pass into a more uncertain and temporary stage of life than ever. It is reduced to a mere retaliatory process growing out of con­ ditions of general overproduction which cannot possibly emlnre for­ ever.'’ The solution of this problem would seeiti; from the protectionist stand­ point. to be neither so difficult iiot so coinplicated as to exclude all hope of happiness on earth. In a condition of universal protection each natioii will do precisely Wiiajt it,g«glit to do—that is; do its own work Viwil supply its own wants so far as is practicable and ad­ vantageous—and Will buy from other nations the tilings which it cannot it­ self profitably produce. Kach nation wiH regulate production according to its own power ot consumption, aud there will be 110 “dmnping of surplus" so fai; as competitive products ara con- cerned. It is toward ilils ideal state of things Iliat the world is moving rapidly, so rapidly as to wring from the free trade Kepublicaii the reluctant admission that the world is pretty certain to get there. Of all the countries of the world the United States of America, has had most to do in bringing about such a consummation, for it is in tile United States that protection has been most persistent, most active and most successful. True it is. also, that among all the nations the United States has least to dread and most to gain through iiniversar protection. , .No Fooling With the Tarlll'. The unsettled conditions from which the country lias just commenced to re­ cover do not admit of introducing any new uncertainties nutil the sky has materially cleared. Had the boom con­ tinued there might have been some grounds Xor the opponents of the tariff to argue that it was bringing too much prosperity, but uow that the boom has had a check the danger that would fol­ low the introduction of a further dis­ arrangement of trade conditions could invite nothing but disaster. The .Bepublicaus have always stood for a tariff that woiild enable American industry to thrive. There is no occa­ sion now to pnll away any protective wall, and even if the threadbare argu­ ment that a tariff is not needed to pro­ tect goods that can be made for the export trade had any weight at any time it has always been offset by the fact that-if a tariff is not liecd’ed'par- tieuia’rlyjjn any specific line of manu­ facturing, it does no hurt to that indus. try. Even the Democrats in Congress see that this is uo time to howl calam­ ity or to jeopardize the interests of the eountry, and they wouM hardly be ex­ tremists if they conld effect anything by it. The most of their noise will be for the benefit of the galleries.—Pitts­ burg Times. Wrone From First to Last. With the tariff kept at the protective point American plants will be enlarged to do all' the work necessary ,for this country. With the tariff taken off, with Democratic free trade, the European mills would hold that trade and gain more as this country' grew, American steel and iron workers would then come into direct competition-with for- cigu labor and wages would go down. The trust would not be crushed.. There is nothing plainer than that the Demo­ cratic idea is wrong from first to last.— La Fayette (Ind.) Call. . ,. • ^ A Good Fit. .
