"a comparison of the statement of
this company with that of the prece-
ding year will show to its patrons
that the confidence extended by them
to its management has not been mis-
placed. Its investments are Judi
ciously made. The management,
whilst liberal, is prudent and con-
sentative, and its ability to carry to
maturity its contracts is not matter
of doubt, but always capable of a
practical demonstration. 1t should
be a matter of State pride that this

That's a common expres-

meaning. How much suf-
fering is summed up in it.
The singular thing about
it is, that pain in the back
is occasioned by SO many
things. May be caused by
kidney disease, liver COM
plant, consumption, cold,
rheumatism, dyspepsia, over
work, nervous debility, &c.
Whatever the cause, don't
neglect it. Something is
wrong and needs prompt
attention. No medicine has
yet been discovered that
will so quickly and surely
cure such diseases as
Browns IRON BITTERs, and
it does this by commencing

THE Courier-Journal calls atten-
ton to the manner in which disrepu-
table church scandals are arrayed be-
fore the public in the northern states.
The press teens with disputes,
church trials, disorganizations and
scandals connected with clericals to
such an extent that it would seem
what ought to be best and purest is
frequently the foulest and worst. The
private and secular affairs of the
ministry are often made the subjects
of contention and wrangling. To
such point have these troubles come
that the Jersey Journal writes pa
thetically in favor of some plan to
rid public ears of the nuisance of
church troubles. Such a state of af-
fairs at the south is unknown. What
ever may be the occasion of this dis
graceful condition in the north, our
southern affairs do not comprehend
in these troubles the same grievances
and disreputable wr;ingling which
makes the northern churches scenes
of discord. 1t is one of the virtues
which the new south has not yet
seen fit to copy, as fashion seems to
require in SO many things. Probably
it is because legislators have not yet
seen fit to prescribe so beautiful a
social custom.

A WRITER i'm the New York World.

A WRITER in the New York World,
on what constitutes a constitution
tariff, says: "a protective tariff
means favoritism. prohibition, mo-
noply. The constitution says: "a
tariff may be collected on imports to
pay the debts and provide for the
common defense and general welfare
of the United States protective
tariff not mentioned Mr.. Madison,
the expounder, in applying the prac-
tical workings of the constitutional
tariff, said: The whole subject of
tariff is compressed into reve-
nue.; the object, incidental encour-
agement (not protection) to home in
dustries; the incident discriminating
between articles of luxury and neces-
sity, so as to put the burden on luxu-
ry; all duties moderate, so as to not
shackle trade or agriculture" The
Democratic platform, based on funda-
mental law and principles, should
therefore read: "a constitutional
tariff, discriminating between articles
of luxury and necessity, arranged to
IOSJeT CIduo, luOuSJrl6S ana agrlcul-
ture equitably." A constitutional
tariff is for revenue. In arranging
sucha tariff, prudent, patriotic men
will tax luxuries higher than necessi-
ties. In many articles there will be
absolutely free trade-such as are
placed on the free list Taxation will
afford incidental protection. That is
inevitable, all admit it, and no one
seeks to avoid it. Still, the tariff is
for revenue-it is to raise money to
epay debts is for the government
and not for individuals. 1t protects
because protection to the extent of
the tax is unavoidable. 1t does not
say that the farm shall be taxed to
support the factory. 1t does not COM
mand that one class shall pay tribute
to another class. 1t is not all turkey
to the monopolist, and all turkey buZ-
zard to the working people. 1t is as
near just as human wisdom and JUS
tice can devise a tax. The Democra-
tic party is in favor of that sort of a
tariff. and it is the law of the land as
certain as that error must eventually
yield to the power of truth.

GENTLEMEN visiting the capital
from various portions of the state,
report that a large number of young
men are preparing to attend the uni
versity at the beginning of it's first
session. This is right. We have
been sending our young men abroad
to receive advanced education, and it
is safe to say that the expense of do
ing so has averaged not cent less
than $3.50 per annum. These young
men may now come to Austin, and,
after paying the nominal matricu-
lation fee of $40, may obtain tuition
in any of the schools of the univer-
sity, under as good professors as are
to be found in the institutions where
heretofore we have sent the young
Texans. 1t is estimated that over
three hundred young men have been
thus sent abroad annually, at an eX-
pense of 1925, COO. The saving of pri-
vate means in Texas on account of
education will be immense. and what
is most beautiful is that the univer-
sity will be open to every young
man and young woman in the
state who desires advanced edu-
cation. And it may be pursued in
any channel desired without the stu
dent being forced to pursue studies
which his intended avocations do not
require.

GEN. a. J. WARNER, OF Ohio. says {:
My own vote will be determined by
the policy of the party likely to follow
the choice of speaker, and the in
terests of the party rather than by
personal consideration" In this is
an expression of the whole point. If
the Democratic party intends to go
on with the tariff revislons down to
that point where the false doctrine of
protection shall cease, if the party is
fixed in purpose to put in operation
the wholesome principles of a consti-
tutional tariff, which permits tariff
for revenue only; then as much of the
influence of the next congress must
be for good in that direction. Let
members in congress adopt Warmers
doctrine, and by the wise selection of
a speaker in exact and recognized ac-
cord with those views, aid both the
course of legislation and advance the
interests OF the party. If such policy

Mr.. Randall will be the successful
candidate. He has many warm and
sincere friends who doubt the truth
of the rumors which credit him with
being in favor of high protective
tariff. and deny that he mutually
aided the protectionists while he was
speaker. But many of those recog-
nize the fact that a widespread opin-
ion of the truth of these charges must
have the effect to make his selections
one of questionable propriety on ac-
count of its putting the party upon
the defensive from the very start.

Serpent POisOns.
[Times-Democrat.l

During a recent meeting of the
National Academy of Science, Drs.
S. Weir Mite hell and Edward T.
Reichert, of Philadelphia, announced
very interesting discovery in toXi
cology, the science of poisons. Most
observers, up to the present time,
have regarded the venoms of serpents,
the bites of which are poisonous, as
representing single poison, but
the researches of these gentlemen go
to show that many of them
contain two, and several three
separate poisons. The venoms
especially mentioned are those
of the rattlesnake, the moccasln
and the copperhead, which were OBJ
tanned in fresh state, in which they
are all in the form of a slightly tur-
bid, yellowish fluid. 1t was found
that in drying the venoms about 75
per cent. of their weight was lost, and
that in state of aqueous solution all
the properties of the fresh venom
were preserved, except that the inten-
sity OF the poison was Slightly dimin-
iShed. The report shows that the
venom of the moccasin snake con-
tains three proteids-one analogous
to peptones, and putrefacient one
akin to globulines and "a much more
fatal poison, probably attacking the
respiratory centres and destroying
the power of the blood to clot, and a
third resembling the albumens.
The external symptoms caused in
animals by the several venoms-
cobra, rattlesnake, moccasin or
copperhead-do not differ radically,
save in degree. In all alike there is
some primary heart disturbance, tenn
porarily lowered blood pressure, fatal
enfeeblement of the respiratory CEN
tors, and local effusion of blood with
lessening or loss of its power to clot.
Cobra venom, from India, is proved
to be the most intense in its poison
Gus power, The venom of our copper
head next, then the moccasin and
rattlesnake. Drs. Mitchell and
Reichert have for some time past been
conducting an elaborate study of the
venoms of almost all American
serpents. the bites of which are pois-
onous, as well as many foreign ones,
and the recent report is made up from
selections from their notes.

A Story from Frisco.
GChicagO Herald

A queer story comes from San Fran
cisco. During the war, that city be-
ing afraid of AlabamaS and such,
raised such howl that the govern
ment built an iron clad, took it apart
and shipped the pieces ina sailing
vessel, to be put together again on
arrival there. In the harbor of San
Francisco the vessel with the iron
clad on board sank. There was an
insurance on the sunken vessel,
which, if it could be realized. would
be enough to enable the contractors
who were to put her together to go
on with their work. But it would
take time to collect the insurance,
and, the city being flush and badly
scared, advanced to the contractors
$4,000, taking the insurance policy as
security. Subsequently the policies
were placed in the hands of New
York lawyer, John E. Ward, for col
lection, and the general public forgot
about the matter. When the discov-
cry was made, a few weeks since,
that there was not money enough in
the treasury, or in the way to como
in, to meet current expenses, the city
fathers cast a glance over the clty's
assets, discovered the Item OF lO,UOO,
and made inquiry about it. Investi
cation showed that nearly ten years
ago Mr.. Ward collected $4,000 from
the insurance companieS-allh he could
get-and modestly sent bill, the cost
of collecting this sum, of $32. .102.47.
He explained to the city fathers that
1922, ,102.47 was the actual cost of col
lection, and the other $4,000 was his
own fee. He says, kindly, that in
consideration of the city's financial
embarrassment, he will not at this
lte date press for payment of the
$2,102.47 still due him from the city,
but will considerably call it square.
Such generosity has stirred the San
Franciscoans to the point of voting
Mr.. Ward medal and resolution of
thanks that he left them their climate
and the Golden Gate.

On the shores of the Caspian sea,
near the city of Baku, the people
have struck oil and there is enough
of it to light the whole of Asia. In
the oleeginous district the earth
sweats oil at every pore, and if the
reports are half true Pennsylvania
has a rival. A writer says: "a Swiss
gentleman is proprietor of about
forty springs, which, as l was told
on the spot. yield 10000 poods, each
of thirty-eight pounds, per diem.
One fountain which l passed. do
not know whether it was that gentle
mans property-has been running for
five years at the rate of 25,000 poods
per day. The total yield of Oleopolis
was calculated at 100000 pools in
1878. Now, L am told it is about
1OO,OOOOOO."

Wheat Prospects.

The breadth of winter wheat in the
entire country was reported in April
at 27,734, 600 acres, compared with the
amount sown for the preceding crop.
Allowing for the loss since then by
plowing up for other crops, the area
remaining is about 81 or per cent.
smaller than a year ago.
The British requirements for wheat
for some months to come will not be
important or urgent.
The European outlook for wheat
does not average as good as year
ago, but the impairment is not great
The gloomy prospect for the
English wheat production is far from
being SO gloomy as it was several
weeks ago.
The wheat crop in France has been
in an improving condition and now
makes fair promise.
In Hungary the wheat outlook is re-
ported to be fine, as rule late plant
ing Of the winter crops is backward
and poor, and partly replanted to
spring wheat. the spring crop doing
well, under warm rains.
In Russia the winter wheat is said
to be good, but the spring crop quite
bad.
To sum up the general condition of
the continental wheat crops, they
show an average promise.

THE success of the Mobile Rifles at

from all over the union con ended for
distinction, has revived military ar
dor among Alabamians and men in

wholesome rivalry and love for mil

The Finest Fighters in the World.
rKo-,o, n;+,r To,,,,o1


A correspondent says the reason
for the non-suppression Of the Apa-
ches is not the interference of the in
terror department, but simply and
solely to fear. He says these Ameri-
can Arabs are the finest fighters the
world ever saw. They campaign in a
badly broken-up country, which is
inaccessible to ordinary troops. The
correspondent gives some particulars
showing how the Apaches amuse
themselves. A band of fifty were
being pursued by five times their
number of Mexican troops.
The Apaches made a fight,
and, retreating. again divided into
five bands. The pursuers did the
same. In the course of few hours,
the Apaches all met on the bank of
a precipice and annihilated each band
of pursuers as it arrived. A Mexi-
can general who has fought Indians
for many years says 500 Apaches can
hold their country against 5000
troops, and have a good time of it in
the bargain. They are well mounted,
active, dead shots, as brave as tigers,
and, in the opinion of the cores
pondent, are able to hold their own
against any comers by simple superb
ority.
