Heroic eoNDucT-Among the incidents connected
with the explosion of the Redsone has been related
that deserves not only TO be recorded but which we
do record with the pleasure as shows that
there who not governed by sordid motives
1t shows that the man, Of whom speak, has green
spot in his heart that far valuable when weighed
in the scale OF Justice, than all the gtterng dust Of
California all the transient pleasures that could posi-
bly, be derived from the pursuit of worldly gain le-
time long as that Of Methuselah. But to the point.
We learn that Mr. Smith, vino resides in Milton but
whose first regret has net been made known
us was board of the ated boat the time of the
explosion; but, escaping unharmed, he swan ashore
and procured some kind Of water-crait with which he
boarded the burning wreck three times, rescung from
fire and five females and three males after which
he returned the fourth time but found nobody on board

pletely rddled the Senator's arguments. The scene
reminded one Of giant holding child in his grasp the

grasp remained firm and unyeldng. Lewis Cass in
deed the intellectual giant Of the Senate and the Union
The Democrat who can look upon him, and feel no glow
of pride that the Democratic party possesses such
champion is not only unworthy the name of Demo-

The sneerng appellation Of 'old ogy, which wild and
thoughtless "Young America" would apply to him, can
not hide bis virtues and his worth from the American

and as much attached to human rights and freedom

Parson BrownIow at il Again,

The editor of the Jonesboro, Tenn Wing, the noted
PARsoN BRowNLow, Who in 1874, gave such high de-
light to his Wing brethren all the country by the
hard things he said against Mr.. Polk, is now utterly
mpracticable when they ask him support Gen. Scott
For fear our friends Of the aas will let the parson
speak in his columns think it than reasona.
bic to let him be heard in ours
"If George Washington EARTH and in his
prime and brought forward and sustained by the
men who backing Scott, could and would not
support him. Itrequires the ofthe devil the
part of Seward and his clique expect that the South
will follow their guidance. They have loose from
the bonds of party obedience to the interest Of section
We Of the South, will break from the same bonds now
that party has come in collision with country. The
South 60 for sections party but for the Unon

ter who may be on the ticket with him. We are for
man who is Statesman Of enlarged mind, who has
made the laws and government Of the country the study
Of his life."

''NASHINGTON, March rs, 1907.
Information has been received from Charles Graebe,
ESQ., U. S. Consul for Hesse Cassel, Hesse Darmstadt,
and Hanover, that in consequence of the general def
cheney OF the last crop Of grain, and the high price
OF Germany have passed decree, that from the first
Of the present month the first of September Eex,
grains, egumes and -four be imported into the Zol
Veren free OF duty
The import duty on grain previous the said decree
about bushel, and that -four amour
ted to prohibition beng two dollars aud fifty cents
per BARREL"
The first misfortune is the domestic scarcity of bread
stufs. The next is the added calamity of free trade
for the wings have preached TO the American people,
that the higher the tariff the cheaper the articles i'm
ported to the consumer and the lower the tariff the
more expensive to the consumer. Now, is it not the
very madness Of cruelty in government whose people
suffering from scarcity Of the staff Of life, to double
the of foreign imports and thus render starvation
certain to follow the impossblty of purchasing what
bad crops have deprived them OF at home2
The Intellgeucr thus comments on the above quoted
announcement:
''The official announcement in another column of the
temporary removal of all import duty on Grains and
Flour in the German ZolVereln States Of much in
terest to our grain-growers and -four dealers"
Ii shows bad spirit in the Intelgencer thus taunt
onr grain growers and flour dealers" with the curta
men of their prosperity certain to follow the depreca
ton of the Flour trade in Germany Such must be the
result with them, or else the wings will be compelled
to swallow Their whole argument in favor of high
tariff The thing is perfectly logical: High duties
make cheap commodtes-hrst proposition; low duties
make dear ommodities-second proposition; starving
people, (ke the Zo Verieners,) always more I'M
able to buy what they want, and are rendered douby
So by increse Of cost-thrd proposition; inability in
the to purchase curtas sales by the producer
fourth proposition; argal, "our grain growers and
-four Dealers are then injured by the withdrawal sso
all import duty on Grains and Flour in the German Zol
verein States"-6fth proposition! Clear total
eclipse!
And yet the Infelti9encer audes to this unwelcome

Of high tariff to American Agriculture. When the

1.-THE following paragraph from the Madison Cou-
rer Of last Saturday eveningpublshed probably about
the hour the steamer Redstone blew up-wil account
for the which produced that terrible accidents
"The Redstone is of the fast ones, the crack
steamer Buckeye found out yesterday, after laying out
in the river to wait for her. The Redstone took her
the wng-passed her under way easy. Capt. Pate is
rery much elated-hinks Of making fast from Lou
isrille TO Cincinnati"
When such accident under the circumstances
indicated above the Captain Of the boat if he survives
should be hung like dog.
The Louisville Courier of Monday says:
This terrible disaster, from all the information
could learn the result OF the most culpable i9RoT
and reckessness. The officers OF the boat
inexperienced, and the engineers and Captain psrticu
larly, were very incompetent, and should have
been entrusted with the control or management of
steamboat, which any human being other than them
selves, would ever travel. There in the
boilers at the time Of the explosion the result has
iearfuly shown The boat caught fire the instant of
explosion and consumed to the waters edge A
mass Of spoons belonging to the boat picked up
the shore, which had been melted together by the in
tense heat. The Captain, though much hurt and hav-
ing leg and arm broken, is likely to survive.
