The captious criticisms which are
being made against the Mckinley
tariff bill recall the fable of the old
man and his donkey, which, as is
known, is intended to convey the
important truth that it is impossible
to please everybody. The Boston
Herald, for instance, finds this OBJ
lection:
Perhaps the most surprising add
ton to the free list is that of human
hair, an article which practically
every one in the United States is a
producer OF, and, Judging by what
we have heard uttered during the
last few years, tits incomprehensible
why the Republicans of the Ways
and Means Committee should have
been so rash as to bring tie human
HAIR producers OF the United States
into competition with the low priced
or pauper producers of human hair
of foreign countries.

New YORK PosT: The anti-capital
punishment crusade is pushed on
the mushy idea that ''the worst use
to make of a human being is to exc.
cute him" Those who parrot this
misleading maxim are careful gen
orally to say '.human being" instead
of wilful murderer. The truth is
that the very best thing for society
and the legislature is supposed in
this instance to represent society
is to put a wilful murderer to death,
or, as John Stuart Mill, a very hui
name and conscientious man, said in
one of his essays, ''to solemnly blot
him out of existence"

The BANNER is in receipt Of copy
of Henry Clay Gray's new paper,
called the "Test," which is published
at Galveston. Mr.. Gray is colored
man and school teacher. He is a
brilliant writer and an able one with
al. Such men as he should be en-
couraged by the white people. He
is an honor to his race, and the flu
ture problem of dealing with the
colored man as social and political
factor will be greatly simplifed and
facilitated by having the assistance
of such sensible and conservative
men of his own race as Mr.. Henry
Clay Gray appears to be.

THERE are ladies in Brennan who
might with propriety and credit to
themselves follow the example Of a
young lady at Huntington, West
Virginia. A young man who es-
corted her to the theatre repeatedly
got up and went out between acts
to "see a man" Becoming tired of
such conduct, the young lady re
quested a gentleman friend to see
her home and retired. A person
who will show such lack OF respect
for lady, even though she be his
mother or sister or wife, as to go
out between acts to see a man or to
enjoy smoke, deserves the severest
condemnation.

The following from an exchange

joke, but the moral which it teaches

A suspicious subscriber, who

omen. Nothing of the kind. The
spider was merely looking over the
columns of the paper to see what
merchant was not advertising so that
it could spin its web across his store
door and be free from disturbance.
