The Gle Elum Tribune and other up
country papers are claiming that North
Yakima is among those towns where
smallpox has made its appearance. A
statement Of this kind should not be
made without supporting facts, and the
Tribune and other papers that have pub

re,tion, for there has been no smallpox
here or any indication Of it.

Instruction for a Philadelphlan.

Mr.. EDWARD F. WATSON Of Philadelphia
inquiries: Would 1t not be better for Amer
lea to come out boldly for free trade. rather
than to induce through q high tariff the set
Ting here of a lot OF foreign manufacturers.
which. in my opinion. is free trade under
another name"
Mr.. WATSON does not seem to be aware
that the United States Is already the great
est free trade country In tho world. since
among its sixty-five millions Of popula-
ton. including the fools. there Is tho most
entire freedom Of trade. without n single
Custom House on any dividing line be-
tween States or sections.
The ordinary common sense OF the case Is
that 1t is n great advantage for every coun-
try to manufacture within its own limits
everything that is necessary to human cX-
istence and comfort. The country which
has to import articles OF necessity from
abroad. is weak In consequence; because in
timc OF war it may DO entirely deprived OF
those articles. Accordingly. it has ever
been q great object with statesmen to
bring every practicable manufacture with
in the boundaries OF their W Govern
ments. The more manufacturers. the
IloIc Naiich WV lHuuSlIl'S l
on in n country. the greater
the demand for agricultural products OF
every sort, and the more satisfactory the
reward Of tho farmers who raise them. For
instance, at the beginning OF tho great civil
warn this country. there was not in all this
land n single mandatory OF quinine: and
ut one time. when we were threatened with
an additional war with England. we had to
facc the danger OF being entirely deprived
of that Indispensable drug. In this situa-
ton Congress was induced to pass q bill
levying a heavy tariff impost upon quinine:
and the late Mr.. STANTON. ono OF the truest
Democrats and greatest men that ever ex-
listed, who was Secretary of War. was an
earnest advocate of the measure. The re-
suit was that tho manufacture was estab-
lished In this country. and we have ever
since been supplied with quininc made here.
Mr.. WATSON ought to study these subjects
more carefully. and then he would under
stand that the greater the population OF
the United States and the greater the num-
Der OF industries that arc here carried on.
the better Off the country will be-.

The following interesting despatch was
published In the Nep York Times on Friday:
WINSTON. N. C.. Aug al. McKsionr. a young man
charged with burglary at W 8. TAYtoR's houss at Mount
Airy, n. C.. n year ago last January. and beating Mrs.
TAYLOR nearly to death while robbing her OF s2.oOo.
WAS convicted Of burglary In tho hrst degree At the
Dobson, y. C.. court last nigh. The penalty for burglary
In the Rrst degree In North Carolina ia death. only
two persons. negroes. were previously convicted OF the
crime in the state. Their sentences were commuied
to life imprisonment. They did not attempt violence
while In the act"
This conviction calls attention to the
peculiar severity OF the law Of North Car
olina in its punishment for the highest de-
gree OF the crime Of burglary.
Prior to 1871. burglary in North Carolina
appears to have been punishable only by
Imprisonment. BY n statute which went
into effect in that year.. and which was sub
sequently Incorporated into section 994 OF
the North Carolina Code. prepared In 1883.
it was provided that any person convicted
according to duo course Of law OF the crime
of burglary should suffer death. BY section
995 of the same code burglary was defined
to be the entry OF the dwelling house OF
another. in the night time. with intent to
commit any felony or Infamous crime
therein. or the breaking out OF such n
house in the night time. by n person In tho
dwelling. after having committed q felony
or Infamous crime there.
In 1889 the North Carolina Legislature
amended the law relating to burglary SO rs
to divide the offence into two degrees. and
confined the death penalty to cases OF burg
larry in the first degree. Tho statute by
which tho change was made defines the
higher grade Of the crime in These words:
IF the crime be committed in a dwelling house. or
In n room used as a sleeping apartment in any build.
inc, and any person Is in tho actual occupation o! any
part of said dwelling house or sleeping apartment at
the time Of the commission Of said crime. 1t shall be
burglary In the first degree"
Although burglary in the first degree un-
der tho law OF North Carolina differs in
some respects from the statutory offence Of
the same name under the law of New York.
the crimes correspond in two essentials:
the entry must be in the night time and
there must be a person in the building en-
tered. In this State. the punishment may
be Imprisonment for life. although We can
not recall any case in which so severe a SEN
tencc has been imposed. There the punish
ment must be death. unless the %pardoning
power intervenes in behalf Of the convict.
The fact that no one has yet been exc
cutcd in North Carolina under a law which
has been in force twenty years In relation
to an offence so common as burglary. would
seem to show that tho death penalty is
deemed rather too harsh for burglars by
the jurlcs who try them. or by the officers
who possess authorityin that State to com-
mute the sentences Of criminals.
