CHARLESTON, w. VA, May 11.-Cari
Smith alias Carl Holt was arrested anu
brought to this city to-day by United
States deputy marshals charged with
robbing the postoifice in Cabell county.
This is the man who was before the
United States grand jury here last year
on the charge of robbing the Postot1ce
at Hamlin, Lincoln county. He was
discharged on account Of insuffieiency
OF evidence. Sunday night he was seen
hanging around the poStofflce al Milton,
and as the midnight train came thun-
iering By he took rock and broke the
the sash in the postofice window, oy
which be effected an entrance and took
a number of registered letters and pack
ages.
He was making away with them
when he was detected by a railroad
employe named Wheeler, who chased
the thief some distance, and succeeded
in knocking him down with rock.
Smith arose and started to run again
and was again knocked down. de
again arose and started over
an embankment when Wheeler
caught him. A scuflie ensued, both
rolling over the bank together. Wheeler
at last subdued the thief by pounding
| his head with rock. He was taken TO
the postoffice, looked up and held for
the officers. He is a desperate man and
has been in the business Of robbing the
mails for a number OF years, but has
been sharp enough TO eyade arrest. He
will be tried at the present session OF
the United States Court and will get a
good term in the penitentary.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 11.-General

returned from Charleston to-day. 10 a few
moments conversation with Senator henna
this afternoon he expressed himself highly
gratifed at the demonstration OF the eX-
ConIederat5s in their reunion yesterday.
He saws the assemblage at Charleston
Opera House exceeded in numbers IN gen
eral ARRANGEMENT and in the universal COM
muuity of interest anything of its kind
which has occurred in the Capital city.
Mr. Nenua also said that General Hooker
had electrified by his el0queuce the whole
audience. which embraced every element OF
.he community. The greeting Of the one
armed veteran from Mississippi by the
hordes OF Couf5derates who had gathered
from every quarter of the mountains
about Charleston was Ut once a pathetic
and inspiring scene.

THESE is a powerful sight Of very
false sentiment abroad in the North
over southern negro outrageS." In
fifty eases OF lynching in the South

treated in the same manner as black. II

OF Anti-Harrison Politioians-An Agent
Sent to Ohio to See Foraker and His
Friends
New YORK, May ia Washington
dispatch states that Mr.. Platt'S confer
ence last Saturday night was not at Mr..
Quay'S house but at that Of Senator
Cameron, and that these gentlemen
were the only ones present. Platt is
said to have started out with the blunt
statement that he was unalterably
against Harrison. Mr.. Blaine was first
choice but the statement was made in
the conference, on the authority OF
close personal and political friend of
Mr.. Blaine, that before the meeting OF
the Minneapolis convention letter
would be penned by him supplemental
to the one which he wrote TO Mr.. Clark
son In the winter and which would make
il absolutely useless for his friends to
attempt to make candidate of him.
After the matter was fully talked
over 10 was decided 10 send an agent TO
Ohio. not TO have Foraker promise TO
nominate Sherman in the convention as
has been stated, but to see whether ne
and his friends will agree to give Sher-
man honest and loyal support. Mr..
Platt was particularly friendly to Sher-
man, and when Senator HiScock'S
statement that he should vote for the
Presidents denomination was quoted to
him, Mr.. Platt remarked that Hiscock's
support amounted to very little at any
time, and that perhaps il would be well
for the New York Senator 70 90 little
slow.

RECIPROCITY AND PROTECTION.

The astonishing innocence Of the ad-
vocates Of high protection in getting
tangled up when they undertake to
state the rules that govern protection
in connection with those that govern
reciprocity, is amusing. Here is what
one Of them, with the utmost gravity
aud impressiyeness, says in a recent To-
terv.ag:
'I believe ia the principle Of protection
and of g tariff framed by its friends, IN
cooperating reciprocity with all nations
with whom and from whom we can secure
equal privileges and benefits"
Now, il this is not absolute free trade,
pure and simple, what is it? "Recip-
rocity with all nations with whom we
can secure equal privileges and bene-
fits" is even more freedom of trade
than England has, and is precisely what
free traders the world over are asking.
Do the advocates Of MeKinleyism and
Reciprocity really understand what
they want? II they do know what they
want they certainly do not know what
they are talking about when they state
their belief Gin the principle Of protec-
tion Incorporating reciprocity"

TIE health officers OF New York re-
port that parents there are deliberately
exposing their children TO the measles,
believing that it is better for them to
CONTRACT il now than later IN life. In
one tenement house the other day TWEEN
" children were found crowded into a
room with a measles patient, for the
avowed purpose Of exposure TO the con
tagion. This accounts largely for New
York's epidemic OF measles. It's due
20 this almost criminal ignorance, which
does not prevail IN New York alone.
There is no more sense in exposing a
child TO measles than there is in expos
ing it 10 any other contagious disease.

James X. Polk.

James X. Polk, the eleventh president,
was born in North Carolina, in the Meek
lcnburg Country. He was of Scotch Irish
descent, and from n people so bitterly
opposed to the English in the Revolution
that the Mecklenburg Country was call
ed the "Iornet's Nest" In the "Hor-
nets Nest" he was born, and was the
eldest of ten children. The Folks were
poor, honest hard working people. After
receiving fair English education,
James was put in a country store to learn
merchandising. He disliked business
and succeeded in studying for profess
ion. His character in after life was in
dicated by his conduct in the University
of North Carolina, where he never once
missed recitation or omitted the slight
est duty. He studied law and soon rose
to the front row in his profession. In
August, 1925, Mr.. Polk, then thirty years
of age, was chosen to the Federal con-
gress, and was there distinguished as u
Democratic Republican of the strictest
sect. He served faithfully in congress
for fourteen years, and then he declined
reelection, yet the same year was made
Governor of Tennessee by large
majority.
In 1915 he was chosen President and
his administration was brilliant but
stormy one. 1t included the war with
Mexico, the Oregon boundary question
and the finding of gold in California.
He was not reelected, and died ut his
residence three months after his sue
cessor's inauguration.-LD Detroit Free
