seek refuge in the higher and more Sc
cure municipal dwellings and the tow
ers of churches. Most of the persons
thus driven from their homes are halt
naked and as they were unable to save
anything in the nature of provisions
the situation in which they find them
selves placed is truly disheartening.
Many head of cattle have been drown
ed and carcases of the animals are
floating through the town in company
with a mass of debris In Trase the
water has also reached dangerous
height and several houses have al
ready been undermined and have top
pied over. In the town of Torrlglia

doubt of the fact that the protected

Mr.. GEORGE TICKNER CURTIS says
General Washington and all his cabinet
and the entire generation of men "
whom the Constitution was established,
were in favor of protective tariff.
Nothing is better known than the fact
that Mr.. Jefferson and the men who
agreed with him opposed the idea of
taxing one man for the profit of an
other But, if otherwise, the tariff that
Washington approved was a ten per
cent. one, while that imposed by the
Mckinley bill is sixty per cent, and
this, too, when American manuiactur-
ers can, and do, sell their wares in
foreign markets at cheaper rates than
similar wares of foreign make.

and would be until after the election,
and suggesting to them that they post
pone their investigation until that time.
Mr.. Davenport was appointed to office
bv republican federal judge, who, un-
der existing laws, is the Only man who
can remove him. When there shall be
democratic Congress and democratic
President. there will be no more Daven-
ports. of the Johnny variety, and the
one referred to, knowing this, will not
hesitate to resort to the most illegiti-
mate, illegal, criminal and outra-
geous means to prevent such a devout-
ly-dcsired consummation. Asselfpres-
eryation is the first law of nature, the
overwhelming democratic majority of
New York city should watch Mr.. Dav-

party nominee for Congress in the sixth
Georgia district, has withdrawn. Mr..
Pottle is a warm personal friend of the
Hon. Tom Watson, and followed him
into the third party. In his card OF
withdrawal Mr.. Pottle says: "The peo-
pie of Georgia have spoken, and they
declare in no uncertain terms that the
peoples party movement in Georgia is
an utter failure, and bow to their de
cision. l shall not forsake my convic-
tons because they are defeated at the

Election that it is worse than foolish to
remain in the field when there is no re-
suit possible but overwhelming defeat.
IF in the future my judgment becomes
satisfied that the democratic party is
the hope of the South it shall have my
cordial support"

The wooden goods imported into this
country last year cost abroad forty
three million dollars The tariff tax
imposed on them amounted to thirty
five million dollars. So that the Ameri-
can importers instead of paying forty
three million for them, were compelled
to pay seventy-eight million. They, of
course, got even rot only for the tax,
but also for the interest on the increas-
ed cost. And yet the republicans say
the tariff rebounds to the interest of the
poor, and that, too, though the heaviest
tariff tax is on cheap woolens, which
the poor wear.

THE WASHINGTON Star says sit is
probable that the Lost Colony OF Roam
oke Island were absorbed with the
Croatan Indians" On the contrary,
nothing could be more improbable; for
though Governor White was absent
from there less than three years, and
though the same Indians were there
when he returned as when he left, not
one-word could be heard of the colony,
though he made diligent inquiry; which,
of course, could not have been the case
if they had been absorbed by the In
dians.
