What lot of nonsense Editor Shepard of
the New York Nail and Express can crowd
into few lines is illustrated by the follow
ing from his paper: 1T will be az ex-
tremely wise measure on the part of the
American congress to show their apprecia-
ton of Henry NJ. SANKEY'S services to the
whole world by passing law comforting
upon him the rank Of colonel in the United
States army, with full pay, and beyond and
outside of the line of duty or promotion"
What could be more foolish THAI sugges-
ton of toadyism Ike that.

The exports of the United States 10 for
eigu countries last year amounted to $780,
100000, mainly farm products. France,
Austria, Italy, Germany and Spain all con-
slider the Mckinley bill menace to their
interests because the bill proposes to raise
the duties on goods imported from those
countries, and they now threaten to retail
late by taxing American importations to
their exclusion, if necessary. Who will be
the greatest sufferers in that event? The
farmer. of course, and yet we are told the
Mckinley bill is a farmers measure.

A fatal epidemic has broken out
in the Clay county, West Virginia,
mountain districts. Scores of people
have died. and the worst of 1t is
that every known remedy has been
tried without any effect on the disease
which is Of character entirely unknown to
the physicians. They can ascribe no cause
for the disease, the symptoms of which are
those of poisoning, in many instances The
most reasonable, theory, therefore, is that
the water in the streams has been poisoned
by mineral substances in the mountains,
which is often the case in such localities.

Georgia is interested to large ex tent in
South American trade, according to the
report of the Brazilian Mail Steamship
Company. Tha value of a recent cargo
shipped from New York was SS0l All, and
the goods came from nearly every state in
the Union, and Georgia was thirteenth on
the list in the valuation of shipments. Many
interior states also maze large shipments,
which shows that the seaboard states are
not the only ones interested in extending
our trade with South America.

The insuring of children IN England, as car
ried on at present, is, it appears, premium
on crime. Children are insured as perishable
goods, and IN some cases before they are
born, at the rate of penny a week. and
often in more than one company, so thata
considerable sum is realized in the event of
their death. No doubt the deaths of many
young children are caused by violence, so
that the parents can obtain the insurance
placed upon their lives. No wonder. there
fore. that efforts are being made to sup
press the companies which carry on this
business. A judge who recently alluded to
them as pests of society was not far
wrong.

The eight democrats who were in the
restaurant of the House drinking rum
punch when the vote on the Lehlbach
amendment to the federal election bill was
taken on Tuesday are being pretty severely
scored by the democratic press of the
country. The amendment made the bill
operative in every county in t5a whole
country, and if the eight democrats had
been in their seats and voted for it the dem
ocrats would have carried it, as the major
ity against it was only six. With that
amendment the bill would have been so
obnoxious TO the republicans that. in all
probability, they would not have been anx-
ious to have it passed. They don't want the
bin to be enforced generally. They want it
enforced only in the south and in one or
two northern cities in which there are large
democratic majorities. 1t is pity that
there are democrats in Congress who neg
lect their duty for rum punch, particu-
larly at time when every democratic vote
is needed

There is no negro problem to settle, in

says the Raleigh On. c. Gazette, a negro
organ. and it adds: "Since Mr.. Harrison
took his seat In the white house, nothing has
occupied his mind more than how to get
along without the negro, and if he dared to
he would very soon proclaim the fact to the
world. Nothing but the fear of the strong
negro vote in Ohio, Illinois and New York
and other northern states prevents his doing
So" The only problem that concerns the
negro is money, says the Gdzette in conclu-
sion. How different this sounds in contrast
to the theories of the republican statesmen
as expressed in the debate on the federal
election bill.

GOV. CampDell or ONO, IN an interview
on the federal election bill, said: The re-
pubhcans excuse attempting to sat aside all
the election laws which have so successfully
upheld the government of this country for
100 years by saying that the Republican
party of the south is not permitted to poll
its vote The truth is, there is no Repub-
lican party of the south. The terrible ex-
perience Of the people of the south after the
war with white scalawags and illiterate
blacks ended the Republican party in that
section Of the country The governor
thinks that no action shonld have been
taken on the measure, and that it should
have been made an issue at the coming
election. In that case it would be showed
under by an overwhelming majority.

The impression is gaining ground in
Washington that the Mckinley bill ia vir-
tually a dead bill. The basis of this i'm
preston is that several of the western re-
publican senators are opposed to many of
its most important schedules, and, although
they have not as yet indicated any hostile
purpose with regard to it. they are quietly
pursuing a course that will make it impos-
sible for it to become law
The west doesn't want a higher tariff than
the present one. On the contrary, it wants
lower one. The Mckinley bill increases
the tariff upon great many articles, and
is, therefore, unpopular in the west. The
western senators who are opposed to the
bill have not had formal conference, but
they understand each others views, and are
pretty certain to act in hal mony when the
time to do so arrives.
1t is probable that some sort of a tart #
bin will be passed by the Senate. 1t is
hardly probable that it will be such bill,
however as will be acceptable to the House.
The changes which the finance committee
have made in the Mckinley bill do not
meet with the approval of Mr.. Mckinley
and his friends. The bill, as it comes from
the Senate, will go to a conference commit
tee, and the chances are that no conference
committee will reach an agreement that
will be acceptable to both the Senate and
the House.
Under the circumstances, therefore. the
impression that the bill is virtually dead
may not be far from right. There would
not be great deal of regret if it should
prove to be correct. The bill is certainly
not one calculated to give general satisfac-
ton. 1t is based upon the idea-a very
erroneous idea-that the manufacturing
industries of the country are still in their
infancy.
