4 STUDYLN PROTECTION.

According to some recent statistics
the wealth of the Southeastern States
has increased over s3,700,0O0000 in the
last ten years, while the State indebted
ness has decreased $22,000000. The
capital invested has increased from
s179,0OO,OO0 to 1851 100000; railroad
mileage has more than doubled owing
to the development of mines and the
building offurnaces, mills and factories.
The value of coal production increased
332 per cent; pig iron, 480; steel, 4,121;
cotton mills, 231; agricultural, 70.
The value of cotton produced during
the decade was sS,09l, 1886, 1873. In view
of these figures the free traders who
want to paint the ruin protection has
brought upon Southeastern States will
have to begin right away, or their occu
patton will be gone.

From the many and long-continued
proclamations and the oft-repeated pri-
yate and public professions of friend
ship for the "dear farmer" and others
who have very justly been complaining
of burdensome taxes, one would natur-
ally expect at least, some outward
show of sincerity and good faith,
even by the Gazette, representing as it
does, Boss Milligan's switch of the
Democracy. But no sooner is an effort
made to alleviate the wrong complained
of, by striking at one of the most pro-
life sources of county taxation, by the
bill recently introduced by Senator
Nichols to reduce the salaries of county
Auditors, far the highest paid SercGnt
ofthe county paid By the tao payers o1tt
of the county treasury, than comes from
behind its official entertainments, this
elf-declared farmers friend" in its
characteristic abusive manner and de-
nounces both Mr. Nichols and his bill,
thus admitting that all its pretensions
in favor of the reduction of salaries of
county officials, was a mere sham, in
tended to deceive the unwary and catch
the vote of the unsuspecting citizen. Is
at any wonder that the thoughtful peo-
pie of the county who favor the reforms
ofabuses, wherever they exist, in local,
State or general government, are rapid
ly losing faith in the printed declara-
tions of such sheets as the Gazette, un-
der the management of an unscrupulous
demagogue. The justification sought
by the Gazette in expressing the hope
that the bill of Mr.. Nichols would not
pass a Democratic Legislature, is that
he introduced this measure because in
this county the Auditors Office is occu-
pied by a Democrat. But when it is
remembered that there are more Repub
lican than Democratic Auditors in the
State, and of the two Auditors in his
district one is a Republican, such justi
ication appears extremely ridiculous.
In view of the enormous salary of over
$4,000 of the Auditor of this county
drawn from the county treasury last
year as shown by the Commissioners
Report, published in this paper, it is not
strange, if the expenditures in this
county is sample of the expenditures
for like purposes in other counties of
the State, that the Senator should make
a test of his measure in the Legislature
beginning with this Office. :: 1t is not
only proper but commendable that relief
be afforded from the grOssest abuses.
If the people expect measure of relief
from high taxes through the reduction
of salaries, they will not sympathize
with the denunciatiOn and abuse of the
Gazette, but will give the Senator their
earnest and cordial support in securing
the passage of a measure insuring a.
but not lordly salary to
county auditors. Successful in the
passage of this measure, other measures
of like character will be brought for
ward to reduce the salary of every over
paid county official in the State, paid by
the taxpayers.

DFATH OF BANCROFT.

George Bancroft, the venerable and
distinguished historian, died at his home
in Washington, D. c., last Saturday
afternoon, after an illness of three days
from a severe cold. He was born at
Worcester, Mass, October 3, 1900, and
his father was himself scholar, divine
and historian. he graduated from Har-
ward at the age of 16, and took the de-
gree of Doctor of Philosophy at 20. In
1922 he taught Greek at Harvard, but
next year devoted himself wholly to lit
erature. Since that time for two-thirds
of a century the periodical literature of
this country has been enriched with his
contributions of translations, verse and
valuable essays. His History of the
United States from the discovery of the
American Continent" he began in 1884
and completed in 1874. Mr.. Bancroft
was Secretary of the Navy under Presi-
dent Polk in 1045, and two years later
he became Minister to the Court of st.
James, where he was the associate of
Hallam, Macaulay, Brougham. Milman
and Grote. After his return he inter
rupted his historical work only to
deliver on great occasions, memorable
orations on great men. In 1866 he was
appointed Minister to Prussia, which
position he held until 1872, rendering
valuable diplomatic service to this coun-
try. Returning to America he spent
his old age as he had spent his youth
and manhood, in hard work, and his
death found him revising his famous
history. He was man whom the ge-
MUS of work made great. The lighter
walks of literature had no laurels for
him. His success was won by slow
philosophical inquiry, and laborious re-
search. The great monument of his life is
his history of his own country. Himself
no mean figure in that history, he had
unexcelled opportunities for observation
and investigation. For a finished, reli
able and thorough narrative, his history
has no rival, and will not be surpassed.
Its style, while not brilliant or fascinat-
ing, is yet dignified and appropriate.
Personally Mr.. Bancroft was kind and
lovable, with numerous friends and no
enemies. He was simple in his tastes,
strong, honest and fearless in disposi-
ton. His place as a historian will be
but little below Thucydides, Gibbon,
Hume and Macaulay.

WASHINGTON advices is to the effect
that the Free Coinage bill, as it came
from the Senate, can not pass the House.
A very careful canvass has been made,
and the conclusion based thereon is that
free coinage is not as popular since the
debate in the Senate as it was when the
subject was before the House during the
first session. Quite a number of Repub-
licans who then supported unlimited
coinage are not prepared to vote for the
Senate bill, and there is steady drift of
sentiment in favor of giving the exist
ing law fair trial.
