Mr.. Harris on Republication.

Mr.. d. II. Harris, prohibition candidate for
governor, addressed a packed house in the
Supervisors room in the Court House on
Thursday. His address was able and his
presentation Of prohibition issues complete.
We cannot give verbatim report Of his re-
marks, attempting but few extracts.
Speaking upon the subject of a revision Of
the tariff, MIR. Harris said that the republican
party was In favor of free whisky in order to
make an excuse for the maintenance of the
tax on the necessities of life. The prohibi.
ton party was in favor Of abOlishing the
whole whisky business, tax and all.
But the republicans say, ave are agreed
upon the same question, let us shake hands"
I" | say, What do you propose to do? Do
you propose to allow whisky TO be sold in the
city of Ottawa at twenty cents per gallon
Do you propose that every creek and stream
shall be lined with whisky stills? He says,
yesr And the republican party absolutely
prefers to have high protective tariff, and
to do this is willing to take the internal
revenue off of whisky and let it be free.
read Mr.. Fifer's speech, and if in it you can
find syllable upon the liquor traffic, confess
that am too ignorant to see it,"
Speaking Of reduction of revenue, Mr..
Harris said, "Take MANILA. This product is
not grown here, and yet the tax on it
amounted to 81, 900 900 last year. The raw
material is brought here and manufactured
into binder Irvine, for which our farmers pay
fourteen cents per pound, If the tax be taken
off of this how would it effect the working
man? 1t would make Irvine cheaper, allow
the farmers to use more of it, increase the
product, and consequently give more en-
ploymeut to labor.
g am not in favor Of militia being called
out to quell strikes and shoot down working
men, but if any of them do injury to prop.
erty, let the grand jury consider their cases.
"The taxes in this state have increased
alarmingly in the last few years, and should
be reduced"
Mr.. Harris received frequent and well de-.
served applause.

A Boston Horne Thief,


Last January, Joe Burns, alias William
Brown, the Mendoza horse thief, was sen.
fenced to six months in the county Jail, on
plea of guilty He was fearful and sobbed
on the deputys shoulder in woeful, heart,
broken way that won the sympathy of the
Court at once Joe saw that the court was
disposed to be lenient, and wept oopiously
until after he WAS sentenced. The sentence
was six months in the county Jail, the Court
taking Bnrns' oath that he was under eigh
teen.
Last spring, livery stable keeper from
Oneida, N. Y, came here in search Of Joe,
and much to the surprise Of those who had
been "taken in by his wiles, he proved to
be one Of a gang Of three, who had operated
in New York and Massachusetts, with great
success for nearly year. Their little game
had been very simple and effective. Joe
would hire a rig at livery stable, usually
the best on the place, and his oonfederates
would see to the sale Of the outfit, and all
participated in the proceeds. Joe confessed
to the livery man, who promised to be back
to take him east as soon as his time was out
His time Was out on Tuesday, but instead
Of the livery man from Oneida, M. H. Pease,
of Boston, Mass, WAS at the jail door with
a requisition from the Governor and nice
pair of manacles, and as soon as Joseph
stepped out, he was Immediately rearrested
and placed on train for the effete east,
where he has committed numerous criminal
acts.
During his Incarceration, q livery man
from the quiet city Of Englew0od also en-
quired as to when he would be released.
With distant points yet to be heard from,
the festive horse thief has a real pleasant
time in store, and may inhabit penitentiaries
for some time yet

Miss Anna Dimmick and Mr.. Milford Van

The Atlanta Constitution Answered

The Atlanta Constitution. (Pro.
lection Organ having asked why
the planters don't get up a trust
on cotton, and satirically suggest.
ed that the "detested tariff doesn't
stand in the way" gets the follow
ing "knock-down" reply from tho
Hamilton (Ga) Journal:
"Opposed with a tax on every
thing he buys, the cotton grower "a
forced to sell as soon as he can get
his crop ready for market, else he
would doubtless form q trust to get
remunerative prices for it. But
he must cultivate his crop with
protected steel plows, attached to
protected wooden stocks, drawn
by highly protected trace chains,
He must chop it with protected
steel hoes and protected wooden
handles. He must drink taxed
coffee, sweetened with protected
sugar, stirred with a protected
spoon in a protected cup. lie
must wear protected clothes made
with protected thread, held togeth.
er by protected buttons. Finally
he must gin his crop in protected
machine wrap it in protected bag
ging and bind it with protected ties
to sell it in a free trade market.
Under these circumstances there
is no wonder that the crop is sold
before it is planted, and that the
price is made by the buyer and
not the grower"

railroad is about to be sold to the
