1t is a good sign OF the diffusion of
intelligent interestin our Tariff policy
among the workingmen of the coun-
try, when the textile workers OF Phila-
delphia, numbering nearly forty thou
sand employees OF all grades, appeal
directly to Congress through COM
mittee of their own number. 1t
proves that labor is coming abreast
with capital to reason, to decide, to act
on the national laws which affect in
dustry. They may be partly or wholly
right, or partly or wholly wrong; but
they are not only entitled to present
their case, but it is their duty to con-
slider, understand and present it to the
lawmakers OF the land.
There has long been the blindest
following of capital by labor on the
Tariff question. The ignorant, help
less labor OF the South has not been
more dependent upon its employers
than has been the intelligent labor of
the North, and but for the assumption
that labor would blindly follow mon
opoly interests and give practically a
solid vote against any Tariff revision,
we would have had sensible revenue
reform years ago, and the oppressive
exactions of our present Tariff upon
industry would belong to history,
The present. Tariff could be revised
in the interest of our productive in
dustry, with the free list greatly en-
larged to cheaper and multiply our
products with better wages TO labor,
if those who profess to be the special
friends of protection were honest
enough to favor revision. The Re-
publicans and the Democrats are
alike pledged to revise the Tariff and
reduce the taxes and revenues, but
the Republicans stand solid against
their pledge and against legislation
that is greatly needed by the industry
of the country.
We welcome the direct appeal of the
textile workingmen to Congress. 1t
proves that labor has other rights and
other duties than submission to I'M
just laws because monopoly is pro-
tected and powerful, and it proves
that workingmen begin to think, to
speak, to petition and to vote their
convictions on the laws of the nation
which vitality affect them. They can
speedily force a just revision of the
Tariff. Let them speak with such
emphasis as will declared their purpose
to vote their convictions at the polls,
and they will be obeyed. philadelphia

RoGERsvILLE, May 26.-The Haw-
kins County Democratic Convention
nominated the following tickets:
For sheriff, James Rowan; for trus-
tee, L. H. Charles; for circuit court
clerk, Ed. S, Fitzpatrick.
No nominations were made for
county clerk or register, but it is un-
derstood that James Nugent is the
choice for the former Office, and j, L.
Poats for the latter.
The delegates to the gubernatorial
convention were instructed to give
Col. James White, of Hawkins county
a complimentary vote as they deemed
best. 1t is certain that most OF the
delegates are for r. L. Taylor
Knorville Tribune.
They don't think as much of Sam
Jones down in Baltimore as they did
two weeks ago. When he arrived
there the people simply told him there
wasn't anything in the town too good
for him to have and babe him look
around and see il what they said wasn't
so. Apparently he looked around and
the many things which he found too
bad for him to approve he has been
trying to catalogue ever since.
Governors Foraker and Fitzhugh
Lee spoke from the same Ohio plat
form last Saturday, and what they said
about the retoration Of peace and the
duty of forgetting sectional issues was
heartily oheered by the people. Gov
ernor Foraker didn't talk that way
hast fall, it is true, but even Governor
can learn. But what will John Sher-
man do now!
Chattanooga, Tennessee, has been
selected by a syndicate OF st. louis,
Louisville and Cincinnati capitalists
as the best place in the South at which
to locate new cast-iron pipe factory,
which is to be, il is said, the largest in
the world. Fifty acres of land have
been purchased, and ground will be
broken for the buildings as soon as a
survey can be made. Two millions Of
dollars will ultimately find its way into
the plant, which is to give employment
to probably 1000 hands. 1t is a big
prize, and the rejoicing in Chattanoo'
"a is heartfelt, as Birmingham, Ala.
was also a bidder for it.-Philo. Times

They said It would make an EXAMPLE
of the way the better sense of the re-
public regarded the difference between
civilized and u~ncivilized warfare. Not
one word, however, did they aver get
out of General Hancock on the subject.
Half the Democratic members of Con.
gress had been his electors, but anv
thing like scheming was foreign to Gem
eral Hancock's nafare.
On the Sunday night a week before
his death, when his mortal illness was
already upon him, an officer going
away on sick leave called to tell him
goodbye. General Hancock treated
his illness lightly, but the officer said:
General, you look to me like a sicker
man than I am" On leaving General
Hancock said: s'You seem to be a lit
tie hoarse; here" He went to a drawer
and got out a fine, white muller. "But
l don't like to rob you of this" said
the officer. keep it; keep it." replied
General Hancock, in his hearty way, as,
with his own hands, he tied it around
the officers throat and fastened it Sc
curely. This little thoughtful act was
typical of the man. AS generous as
the day is long, he forgot himself for
his friend-and this he had been doing,
consistently, all the days of his life

POSTAL BANKS.


Laboring People.
The plan Of the post-ofice savings
banks of Great Britain was first sug-
gested in 1860 by Mr.. Sykes, member
Of Parliament for Huddersfield. Eng.
The suggestion was cordially adopted
by Mr.. Gladstone, then Chancellor OF
the E~xchequer, who brought the matter
in the form of a bill before Parliament
and warmly advocated its passage. 1t
was passed early in the following year
and received the royal assent May II,
1861, and came into practical operation
in the following September. In 1862
the pan became operative in Scotland
and Ireland also. The plan has been q
success from the beginning, over
1857, 900 deposit accounts being OPEN
ed during the first two years, rep
.resenting an aggregate OF f4,702.-
600. or about $2S, zoo. Ac-
cording to the post-office reports of
1888 there were in the United Kingdom
1859 p~ost-ofice savings banks. $685.
642 accounts open at the end of the
year. the deposits during the year
amounting to f13,505, 167 or about
$oI,0I0,SS5, and the amount standing
to credit of all open accounts at the Ell /
of the year, f41, 768, 1903, or about $685.
$4,000. A separate account is kept
with every depositor, and the receipt of
every deposit is acknowledged The
rate of interest paid to depositors Is 2 i-2
per cent annually or one halfpenny per
pound a month. Every depos-
itor receives 2 savings-bank
book which he sends yearly for
to the head office. and the
interest on his deposit is there calcula-
ted and allowed in the book. Any part
or all of a deposit will be paid at any
of the offices on receipt of a certified or
der from the central Office. The man.
agement Of these banks has always
been thoroughly efficient, and there is
no doubt that they have been of great

The "Poetry OF Motion" rs Taught by the
Glbbon MONKEY.

A046A " ~
Gibbon Monkey.
The wah-wah, as the natives of
Borneo call the gibbon monkey, is noted
for the rapidity of his progression
through the tops of trees. Holding by
his hands to one branch. he gives his
body a long swing towards another
branch, which he grasps with his feet.
Letting go with his hands he swings by
his feet head downward and backward,
until he comes right side up when he
relaxes his feet's hold and goes 1ying
through the air to the next branch.
Grasping that with his hands he con-
tinues swinging end over erd until he is
lar; away from the running hunter, who
may console himself by admirine the
poetry of notion" Timid as the
gibbon is-he flies at the slightest alarm
his affection will cause him to return
u his young one is shot, even It the risk
of meeting a similar fate. A naturalist,
in ~narrating his exploits while collecting
specimens of natural history in Borneo,
tells this pathetic story of q gibbons
affection.
He shot a large gibbon, which fell
from the tree to the ground. 1t was
Immediately followed by a young one,
with a wound in the neck. The little
one kept up a steady cry. Two gibbons,
who were swinging away, end over
end. Immediately swung back, as near
as they dared to where the hunter stood.
They kept so well concealed that he
could not get a shot. The little one was
made to scream while the hunter kept
quiet. sit was a mean thing to do"
writes the naturalist, ''but. in collecting,
necessity knows no law. When 1 got a
fair shot at one of the wah-wahs, 1
fired" The timid animal, returning
in response to his child's cry, fell a VIC
tim to the parental affection whichIgave
him courage to attempt a rescue.
1t may not be in harmony with the
code of science, but we don't think we
could have shot that father if our col
lection should never rejoice in a glib
