M. Pasteur on Vfxf.ection.

A Texan who was horribly bitten by .
mad wolf went to Paris some weeks since
for treatment by Pasteur He is return
ing cured Parting with his overjoyed pa
tent Pasteur said: Il ask one favor Use
your own influence to stop the silly senti-
mental crusade against vivisection With
out vivisection the world viii be deprived
of half the benefits Of science" The slow
dissection of living animal Is repuisive
thing to think Of But 50 was dissection
OF any kind once Many accidents have
contributed to the advance Of medicine In
knowledge Of the living body, which
cadavers could not give. Pasteur's ex-
periments would be worthless without
experiments on living animals. Il now
begins to be admitted that resistance to
vivisectiou is as futile and wrong as IL
was to dissection Of dead human bodies
hundreds Of years ago. And yet there Is
enough unscientifc seatimentalism yet
existing TO retard progress by means of
vivisection. Hence Pasteurs appeal TO
Americans In behalf Of science, which he
concludes with the pregnant question:
who shall say that man must sacrifice
the good of his kind because of the possible
gain to an infnitesimd portion of q lower
racer Just such appeals were once made
In favor of ordinary dissection.-ChicaSo

A Queer Pursuit.

Mr.. Hudson, a lawyer from
Georgia, has been travelling
through South Carolina, endeavor'
ing to find a colored man who,
some months ago, had his foot cut
off in a railroad accident. Mr..
Hudson had undertaken a suit
against the company for damages,
and after a hard fight won the
award of $4,000. Then the case
was appealed to the Supreme Court,
and in the long litigation the plain
tiff became discouraged and wan
dered away, no one knew where
He could not be found when the
a ward of the lower court had been
affirmed by the Supreme Court,
and the money could not be OBJ
taired until he signed the papers,
The interest the lawyer takes in
finding the crippled man is that
his fee of one.hali of the award
cannot be pocketed without the
signature of his client. The story
of the colored man wandering
from place to place earning a bare
subsistence, unconscious of the for
tune that is pursuing him, is quite
romantic.

DR.. Pridgeon, of this city, seems

Some weeks ago he preached his
own funeral sermon, and now
news comes that he is about to con-
test his own will. When asked
about it he declared that what had
once been done could not be un-
done without sufficient cause, and
as he considers himself dead since
his celebrated funeral sermon, he
can only proceed IN the legal way
TO have his will set aside. lie
sought to keep his coffin in the
house, to which his wife, who Is
his second, made objection. The
disagreement growing out of this
has deepened until now the old
man desires to recall the will by
which he left her his small posses
sions at death. Undue influence
is the reason he will assign for the
setting aside of the will. He has
children by his first wife, and it is
his view now that if he had not
been unduly influenced he would
have made an equal division of his
estate. The case is somewhat
peculiar, but the old man is so well
satisfied with the manner in which
he preached his own funeral ser
mon that he looks forward to this
will contest with great confidence

OUR TARIFF HISTORY.
Atlanta Constitution.

1t was not until some time after
the colonies became independent
that there we're duties placed upon
imports. From 1774 to 1890 in
elusive the imports from England
exceeded the exports from America
in the sum OF s52,372,s75, and a
clamor arose for protection.
The first tariff law passed was
approved by the President, July
4. 1889. Us preamble recited 4;
"Whereas, 1t is necessary for the
support of the Government, the
discharge of the debts of the United
States, and the encouragement OF
manufactures, that duties be laid
on goods, wares, and merchandise
imported"
From the year 1896, when the
protective tariff was in full opera
ton, to 1901, a period of seven
years, the exports of this country
exceeded the imports by SS3,3I4,'
31G, leaving England in debt to
America. In 1894, although the
revenue was sufficient, a new tariff
was adopted with higher duties in
order to extend the benefits of pro
lection. This measure had the
active support of Presidents Mon
roe, Jackson, and John Quincy
Adams.
In 1888, owing to the demands
of South Carolina, then in almost
open rebellion, a revised tariff law
was passed lowering the duties
about 90 per cent.
By 1910 this "tarifi revision had
so diminished therevenue and man.
ufactures were so prostrate that the
Government and the people were
almost in bankruptcy. This caused
a raising of customs duties to the
protective point in 1S42, under
which trade revived and the
Governments credit was preserved
In 1916 a reduction was made II
the tariff rates, and during CHI
next eleven years, while these re
duced rates where in force, th'
revenues fell short of the expendl
lures by s2l, ,79O,SO5. In 1860 th'
Government G had to borrow gu,
900, 900 to maintain its credit.
The duties we're increased il
March, 1861, and since then, whit
the war tariff has been reduced u
natural proportions, the manutaC
lures of America have fourlshed a
never before.
