WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, April. 2S, $780,
The injustice and absurdity of the
Mckinley tariff bill excitedsuch gen.
eral dissatisfaction that the Republic
cans are obliged to abandon it. 1t is
conceded that the bill can never be-
come law, but the Republican ma
jority in the House has so thoroughly
committed itself that the bill is ex-
pected to pass the House by a strict
party vote. In the meantime the re-
publicans of the Senate Finance COM
mittee are at work on another bill as
a substitute for the Mckinley bill.
They expect to report it to the Senate
very soon after the Mckinley bill
passes the House.
This shows the impotence of Mr.
McKinley's specious oratory, that
captivates careless crowd, to con-
vince the business interests of the
country of the propriety of "a single
idea he entertains on the subject of
tariff.
The Republican joint caucus COM
mittee of the House and Senate have
agreed upon the basis for the prep
aration of a silver bill. 1t directs
the Secretary of the Treasury to pur-
chase 100000 ounces of free silver
per month at the market price, not
to exceed 81 for 1925 grains of pure
silver, and issue Treasury notes in
payment of the bullion. These notes
shall be payable on demand in lawful
money of the United States, and are
receivable for all public dues. No
greater or less amount of such notes
shall be outstanding at any time than
the cost of the silver bullion then
held in the Treasury, purchased by
such notes. Upon demand of the
holder of any such Treasury notes,
the Secretary of the Treasury may, at
his discretion, pay off such notes with
silver bullion at its market price.
The Secretary is also permitted tc
coin this bullion, should it be neces.
sary, for the redemption of these pro-
posed Treasury notes. $500, 900, held
to redeem the circulation of banks
will be restored to general circula
ton.
A bill to make a territory of Okla
homa has passed the Senate 80 yeas
nays. Whenever the Indian inter
ests in surrounding territory shall be
extinguished it will be annexed t.
Oklahoma. The laws of Nebraska
are to be extended over the new ter
ritory.

CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION
Chairman Of the Committee.

In response to letters addressed to
the various County Committeeman
of this Congressional District by
Chairman Goree, Chattanooga re-
ceived 7 votes, Cleveland G, and
Lookout Mountain l, as the place for
holding the convention. An aver
age of dates determined Tuesday,

A SCORE or more of Southern
towns and cities are now advertising
mammoth sales of town lots to occur
during this month. a majority Of
these sales are worked up by land
and "bOom" companies with the OBJ
ject Of making big profits on their
investments, and many of them
doubtless have nothing behind them
but a raging speculative fever. 1t
cannot be questioned that the greater
part of the South is on big boom,
but there is dangerous tendency in
some towns and cities to force it too
rapidly. Big land sales, imaginary
streets, and a few wagon loads of
stakes planted in long rows over an
old field don't make, town. by any

Now comes the legislative commit
tee of the Virginia State Grange with
a serious complaint against the new
tariff bill. Said new tariff bill pro-
vides for a duty Of $500 per ton on
sulphuric acid, which means an in
crease of from $500 to $3.50 on every
ton of manufactured fertilizers used
by the farmers of the land. AS about
100000 tons are used annually, this
tax will take over 100000 out of the
pockets of the farmers and transfer it
to the fat wallets of a few manufac-
turers, who are already making a
good profit on the production of this
article, very little being imported.
This is but one specimen of the way
the Republican party protects the
farmer.

A New Danger from Tobacco.

1t is stated that German physician,
on examination of q number of cigar
tips, found that many of them were
infected with tubercle bacille The
makers were tuberculous, and in the
manufacture of the cigars moistened
the tips with their saliva. This GER
tainly represents a new danger from
using tobacco at least in the shape Of
cigarettes and cigars. We were aware
that there is considerable difference
between bad and good tobacco, and
have been inclined to attribute injuri-
Gus effects to the use of inferior prod
uct. Any tobacco, however, may be
impregnated as above. And if tobacco
may be contaminated by one bacili
there does not appear any reason why
it should not harbor other microbes.
This is a point which will doubtless be
taken up by the anti-tobacconists.-

If you are building a new barn, es-

it high between floor and ceiling, and be

and set it so the east, south and west
sides will come fairest to the sunlight,
SO that in cold weather a flood of golden
sunlight will light up the whole interior.

better than a cow doctor and don't cost
quarter as much. Have wire netting

WHY Bows Leave the Farm.

Farmers have themselves often to
blame for the dislike their sons take to
d business in which they find only the
rough and hard side Of life Farm
work is not so hard and disagreeable as
it used 10 be before the introduction OF
much labor saving machinery that low
lightens it. Still, though less disagree
able, the boys do not like to have its
toughest and worst features put on
them. Nor will it make it any better
For the father, who now shirks whatever
he dislikes, to tell his sons how much
harder he had TO work than they when
he was a boy. Farm work is easier
than it used to be, and the boys should
be the first ones on the farm to find
this out practically. Then fewer of
them would be led from tho farm by
the attractions of city life.
So far as possible boys ought to have
a personal and pecuniary interest in
everything they do, and the girls also
for that matter. Their labor legally
belongs to the parent until they become
of age, but he is indeed a strange father
who keeps his sons or daughters at work
without pay merely to save the wages
of hired help This working without
pecuniary interest in what one is doing
is too much like slavery. Just as soon
as the pressure is removed, and the
child becomes legally its own master,
all restraint is thrown aside. Every
young person should have some chance
TO work for himself on some corner of
the farm, and whatever he thus earns
should be his, to be saved or spent I'M
der parental supervision.
In this way the habit of earning
money, and the knowledge of what it
costs to procure it, as well as the best
means of using it, may be learned. The
farm has undoubtedly greater opportu-
mites for teaching both boys and girls
this practical knowledge of money
and its value than any other business
in the city can possibly enjoy. A great
part of the advantage Of living in the
country for bringing up family of
children will be lost unless this oppor-
tunity is utilized as much as possible
