there should be public sentiment developed
that will do away with the nonsense Of shut
ting up Indian reservations.

THE Courier Journal, discussing the tariff
question with the Nashville Union, protec-
ZIONIST paper published in the South, refers
to that paper as the Lunion. This may be
very funny, but it cannot be accepted as very
convincing argument. The fact is becoming
apparent to many in the South that the road
to prosperity leads through the line of protec-
ton to American industries, and many por-
tions Of the South, acting on this theory, are
growing rich and prosperous, and are growing
to favor the American idea of protection.
Northern Alabama and Georgia, and eastern
Tennessee, are building up cities that are be-
come the commercial rivals of those Of the
North. They have been wise enough to take
advantage of the opportunities offered, and
have profted thereby. just as the friends and
defenders of protection prophesied they
would. Kentucky would do better and grow
rich faster were she to help in the prorlulga-
ton of the idea of protection instead of spend
ing her time denouncing it.

DR.. Rose Claims To Be Able to Speak and
Hear with Ease by His Telephone.
New York Special.
DR.. Lucien G. Rose. of Ohio, would like to give
the people of this country the benefit of prac-
tical ngdiStance telephony. He has invented
an instrument which accomplishes this perfectly
over long stretches of wire. But the patents
secured by the Bell telephone forbid the use OF
any instrument for the transmission of articu.

Roses application is at the Washington Patent
Office, under the seal of secrecy he cannot
secure a patent. Some European countries.
however, more friendly, and on Thursday
at ii o'clock he sailed in the Adriatic for
Gothenburg, Sweden. The Swedish govern
ment has entire charge of the telephone SERVICE
and a few of the Bell instruments are in use
there. 1t did not deny DR.. Roses patent. how
ever and letters will be issued 30 him as soon as
his claims are established on the continent Ar
rapgements have been made for public test OF
his instrument in Sweden and his trip abroad is
to enable him to be present at the test.
DIR Rose claims to be able to speak and hear
with ease and satisfaction with his instrument
over a distance of 2,5Qg miles. Public tests have
already been made over coils of that length OK
wire, and recently a loop of l. 120 miles long was
run into Ohio Over this the slightest infec-
tons of the voice could be easily heard and con.
versalion was carried on with ease. For CONE
mercial purposes 1000 miles is fixed as the con-
venient distance, and the telephone will be con-
structed for that purpose.
The secret of the Rose telephone is the posi-
biity of increasing tho power of the electric cur
rent without fusing the delicate point behind
the carbon diaphragram. The Bell instrument
can stand battery of two cells only, while DR..
Rose uses thirty-two cells upon his circuit with
out damage to the mechanism. long copper
loop will be erected by the Swedish government
for testing the phone, and if the test is satsfac
tory the instruments will be manufactured in

THERE seems to be an epidemic of murder
Gus crimes now sweeping through the coun-
try, and there is not day that from one to
half-dozen murders are not chronicied.
There are a startling number of domestic
tragedies, involving murders of every variety.
Husbands have killed their wives in fits Of in
sane jealousy, and wives their husbands,
young men their sweethearts, and men have
committed suicide after having killed their
wives or sweethearts. All these things have
occurred within the past few days. and the pa
pers are red with the sickening and bloody
details. 1t is difficult to say what the remedy
is to be, or whether any remedy can be pre-
scribed that will meet the case. This much
should be DONE and that is to mete out speedy
and effectual punishment to all who commit
these crimes. This will not remedy the evil
they have done, but it may have restraining
effect upon others inclined to do the same.

ChautauQua Special.
Rev. Sam P. Jones lectured here yesterday. in
the amphitheater. to an audience of 6 900 per-
sons. His subject was How to be Saved"
Before commencing his lecture Mr.. Jones said:
II have my way of doing things and my way of
saying things. Some people like what say but
not the way say it. God bless you, that's the
only thing in this world I've got patent right

made a purer woman than my mother nor nobler
man than my father. Many people question my
color, and write to ask me if am black or white.
[ always answer, 'Colored-yellow buff is my
color I've no apology to make for what say.
for I'm not seeking popularity / am not joke
or fraud. love God and Gods works"
Coming to his text Mr.. Jones said There is
but one road of humanity in the moral universe
He'll is at one end Of the road and heaven is at
the other. Now it is not what sort of fellow
you are, but which way you are headed If your
back is turned on sin you are going the road to
heaven. and if it is turned against holiness you
are going to hell.
Some of you people are Christians. Perhaps
ninetenths of you belong to the church. but I've
found that don't mean much. The meanest man
ever knew was church member, and the best
[ ever knew was a church member.

The more the subject of the appraisement
of real estate and Improvements, and the as
sessment upon the manufacturing interests
for taxable purposes is investigated, the more
the necessity of a new assessment is demon
strated. The desire to have an entirely new
appraisement made is general amongst those
who have given the matter consideration, and
it is said, upon good authority, that the
County Board of Equalization can order the
same made under the law. The Journal has
been requested by many taxpayers to call a
meeting of property owners to discuss and
consider the best means to get rid of the
present assessment. The Journal will not do
this of its own motion. but will cheerfully CO.
operate in this or in any other means or meas
ures that may be legally devised to see that
justice be done the taxpayers of the city and
county.

Perhaps SO; but before making final decis-
