ARsoR DAY.

And recommend to the people of this State that
upon that occasion they engage in the work Of
planting trees and shrubbery for "the adornment
Of public and private grounds, places and ways"
and that they give careful thought and attention
to the important subject Of forest culture and
preservation.
Especially should this day be faithfully OBJ
served by our Institutions Of learning that its les
sons may be early acquired by the coming gener-
alton. Whatever we may be able to do in en-
hancing the great natural beauties of our State,
will prove of value not only as an additional at
traction to the rapidly increasing number OF those
who annually seek summer rest and recreation
within its borders but, TO an even greater extent
as wholesome and refining influence among our
people
1t will be remembered that whatever we may
successfully do In the observance of this day
viii not only be pleasure to ourselves but a
source of comfort and enjoyment to future gener-
tons.
Given at the Council Chamber at Augusta,
this twenty-first day Of April, In the year
of our Lord one thousand eight hundred
and ninety, and of the Independence OF
the United States of America the one

months we doubt If the people would get any
new ideas on the subject. Indeed we venture to
say that large part of the speeches made in
the two weeks assigned for discussion will
be listened to chiefly by inanimate benches

If a professedly and proclaimed great man

even when the explanation is vigorously lin
tied; 1t is not an unpopular thing, taken in

The Tariff Debate

The Democrats profess to be very much
grieved because the Republicans have de-
cided 10 confne the debate on the Mckinley
tariff bill to twelve days. They say this is
not sufficient time to thoroughly instruct the
country concerning the provisions of the
Dul and Its effect If it becomes law. OF
course reasonable time should be allowed
TO discuss an important measure like this.
The opponents of the bill have a right to de-
mand time enough to set forth their objec-
ton fully. and to show, If they can, to the
country that the measure is bad in principle
and will work badly in practice. But six days,
assuming that its opponents will be allowed
half the time of debate, is, we. be-
iieye, entirely sufficient. When the
tariff question was first brought to public
attention 1t had been slumbering for many
years. Immersed in other questions the pub
Tic mad for a long time given it little thought.
1t was necessary, therefore, when the Morri
son bill first projected the question into the
arena OF congressional discussion, to begin,
SO to speak, at the A. b. C.'s of the question.
1t was necessary to explain what was meant
by the terms free trade, tariff for revenue
only and protection. 1t was necessary, that
the public might fully comprehend their
meaning, to fully illuminate the definitions
Of the lexicon by elaborate argument and
Illustration. In short, it was needful for
congressman to teach one another and the
public many Of the fundamental principles
OF political economy. But this necessity has
passed away. The elaborate discussions of
two tariff bills in the House of Representa-
lives, and the daily discussion in the press
throughout Presidential campaign have
thoroughly instructed the people in the diff
ierences OF the two rival systems of pro-
lection and free trade. The mass of
tue people now understand fully the
ann OIL the free trader and the aim of
sne protectionist They understand too that
tne democratic party is virtually committed
70 tne former and the Republican to the lat
Ter. It's no longer necessary. therefore. tn
begin at first principles. Discussion can ba
confined to the bill before the House 70 ON
explanation OF its provisions and their
probable effect upon the revenues of the
country and upon the producer and the CON-
sumner. Twelve days is ample time to saw All
there is worth saying upon that subject. In
that time the Congressional Record can be
filed with more matter on the bill,
thousand times over, than the American peo-
pie will ever read. The truth is the people
are not very much In need Of instruction on
this bill. 1t has been before them for
some weeks now and has been thoroughly
discussed by the newspapers, to which the
people look for most Of their light on such

Capital punishment is not to be abolished

having indefinitely postponed the repeal
measure recently passed by the House.
The New York Posts explanation of the
action OF the House is that good many
members voted for repeal simply to oblige
It's author, Gen. Curtis, who is very popular,
feeling that they could do SO without jeop-
ardizlng capital punishment, as the Senate
would not consent to the measure. Some
way ought to be found to oblige popular
members other than by voting recklessly for
radical change Of the laws.
