About ten years ago the government
purchased twenty acres of land on Tybee
Island for the purpose of erecting thereon
a work for harbor defense. Gen. Gilmore,
in his annual report, has recommended
an appropriation for this work. He knows
the Importance Of TYbee Island as base
of operations, having himself used it dur
ing the late war in the siege of Fort Pulas-
XII. The proposed fort will be a large earth
work, mounting a few guns Of calibre
sufficiently heavy to prevent hostile
fleet from even crossing the bar and
anchoring in the coulter roads, Our dis
patches yesterday announced that the
subcommittee having in charge the ques-
ton of coast defenses have agreed 70 rec
Ommend an appropriation of 100000 to
begin the works at Tybee.

The Tariff Commission, which no one can
say was not thoroughly devoted to protection,
recommended a reduction in the tariff to an
average amount OF 20 per cent, but the Forty
seventh Congress granted no more than per
cent. Why shall not the FOrty-eIghth Com
gress go on and execute the recommendations
OF the commission? Can you call a revision so
Endorsed free trades Perhaps there ar&Dem-
Ocrats who are afraid to go as far as this Re-
publican commission. but their Democracy

No member Of Congress can set up that the
pet institutions OF his district are suffering in
order to give additional protection to the pet
institutions of some other district. Every
sacrifice which VIII he demanded from one
manufacturer will be made up to him by a
propOrtionate saving in some other direction.
All competing industries will be upon the
same basis. There Will be no pulling and

The eFnturev DeIivery Tax..

Individuals and fir ms in this State en-
gagged in buying and selling farm products
for future delivery are notified by the
Comptroller General that they are liable
to an annual tax of 5000, and that the
time has come for them to pay it. The
future business has its friends as well as
its enemies. There is something to be said
for it. but more against it. The desire now
is to make fortunes rapidly. The same
care and attention is not given to legiti-
mate business as formerly. It's probable
that a majority of grain, cotton and pro-
vision merchants use their legitimate
business as means to get the money with
which to gamble in futures. If the truth
were known it would doubtless be found
that the most of the failures that
are occurring every day are due to
losses made in speculations in futures.
The chief harm of culture" gambling is
to Young men who are employed in
the cotton, provision and grain bust
ness. All OF their savings, as rule,
are swallowed up in future specula-
tions, and often they are led to commit
crime to get the means TO continue their
gambling operations when their own
means are exhausted. OF course a 5000
tax will not check the culture" business
because it is too profitable to those who
carry il ON. But so large a tax shows
that the business IS not regarded with
favor by the State.

Senator Jones' position relative to the
pilots is correct. There is no other class
of individuals engaged in a private en-
terprise. followed as a means Oflivelihood,
whose business is regulated by State law,
and whose movements are controlled by
commissioners. The law prescribes the
class Of boat to be used in the pilot SER
vice and how long a time a man shall
sarve in the several grades of pilots.
If also controls the pilots personal
liberty. not permitting him to leave his
,ost without permission of the commits
sioners appointed to look after him and
his affairs. There is no other class of cit
lions except those holding government
offices. whose actions are so controlled.
Those laws. harsh as they may appear at
f;rst Glance. are necessary. The safety Of
--oseeIs and the lives Of their passen-
,-ara and crews require that they shall be
connetent men at sea to take charge and
..ilot them into safe harbOrs. The pilots
-,,st Ia out in all weather. The more
inelement and stormy the weather Is the
graafer is the necessity for their services.
They must be on the lookout when
business is slack, and as alert when only
~ occasional vessel rewards their hard
ral,ors. as when the horizon is white with
46aaails Of incoming ships. To compensate
nom for their services all vessels are
,.or,nelied to take pilots and to pay the
fsas fixed by law. For several years past
few ship. owners have been trying to
nayc Congress pass a law abolishing COM
pulsory pilotage, and it is to this matter
fbat senator Jones' remarks refer.

The discussion of the Hussar question
has attracted a good deal of attention,
and the opinion is gaining ground that
the treasure reported to have gone down
with the ship is a myth. A letter from
Fletcher Vets, a subordinate officer on
that vessel, published in the Edinburgh
Observer in 1927, states that there was
only 10000 on board, but that before the
ship sank it was landed and safely deliv-
cred into the hands Of the English Com
missary General, Delaney. If this is true.

How to Discover the Worms IN the kiuny

How TO Disoover the Worms IN me siuny
Dopixens of tho su.Quohsnna.
Worry few people are aware that the black
bass caught In the Susquehanna aud it,
tributaries are wormy. IL has been fro
quently voiced about by professional
fishermen, but it was as often discredited,
for the reason that an investigation was
not prosecuted in the proper manner. The
common mode of preparing bass for pan.
ming is to remove the scales by scraping
with knife, after which the head
il cut of and then opened from the
beginning OF the under fin to the middle
of the two front fins large bass
are sometimes cut open ON the
back like salted mackerel. But tho only
way to clean them to- discover the worms
Is to sever the skin back of the head, then
with pincers draw the head from the body
the same rs when skinning q catfish, and
small, round, yellowish egg will be either
adhering to the cutiole or partly i'm
bodied in the flesh. The appearance of
the larva seems to be solid, but the least
inoisi0n in the she'll makes egress for
lively worm white in color aud little
less than quarter of an inch in length.
There have been as many as five OF these
pods taken from 6sh, but during the
summer there is not bass that is without
them. Countless numbers of these little
"skippers" have been masticated along
with these delicious fish, avoiding
detection by being hidden in the
brown crust the fish's skin forms after
frying. This sp clos Of fish will not be
excluded from an table when the worm
question is So easily overcome. The above
method Of cleaning will ensure tho cap
ture of every pod, for they are never
found to be entirely covered within the
flesh.
