One Negro Shoots Another With Intent 10 Kill
Woman in tho Case
On Saturday evening at about seven
o'clock shooting ARRAY occurred at a
house just North Of this city, in what
is called Negro Lane,n that came
near causing the death of one Negro
at the hand Of another. Hezekiah
Nash, who lives alone ina little honse
in that leighborhood, was engaged in
preparing his evening neal when he
heard the voice Of one Wesley Lewis,
alias i" Hogs Head,n who called to him
to come out. Nash refused to go, and
Lewis entered, calling ont 'sHez,
you -, you are messing with
my business, and drawing a revolver
fred, striking Nash full in the breast.
Nash ran out of the room, followed by
Lewis, who sent another bullet after
him, but without effect. Drs. Morri-
son and Henshaw were summoned and
rendered surgical aid. It was found
that the ball had struck the breast
bone and glanced, lodging in the back
near the right shoulder blade. Tie
wound is very painful one, though
not serious. Nash is doing very well.
The difficulty grew outof some trouble
over a woman, and Lewis sought re.
venge in this way. Lewis is behind
the bars, and will receive the full pen
atty Of the law. 4

Thinking Republicans are always
willing to admit that, if in all the ma
tions of the civilized world civilized
wages were paid, and If in all an en-
lightened and liberal policy were pur-
sued by individuals as well as by the
rulers, a tariff for protective purposes
would be unnecessary, though for rails
ing evenue some a equally effec-
tive would have to be substituted.
Because of this undoubted fact Demo-
Gratis often say that free trade is the
natural policy. As well might one
urge that il is natural for men to be
uniformly toothless and baldheaded, be-
cause some evolutionists hold that the
coming man will be so distinguished
from those of to-day. Practical people
deal with conditions rs they exist, not
as they might exist, and shape their acts
to meet exigencies which may arise,
rather sooner than the Greek kalends.
With much better reason, looking at
conditions actually prevailing, we
might claim protection as the natural
fiscal policy Of nations, it is SO well nigh
universal among them. Great Britain
stands absolutely alone in her free trade
policy. That policy Is consistently pur-
sued by her with regard TO all industries
except the shipping trade which is, as IL
has been, encouraged by heavy mail
subsidies. She taxes the tea and coffee
consumed by her people and admits free
OF dnty the products Of other working
men which compete with theirs. The
effect is felt most strongly in the minor

1t was Republican weather in the
West Monday, and Ohio, Indiana and
Iowa sent words of cheer and greeting
to Rhode Island on the eve of its great
battle. Municipal elections in all three
States showed marked and significant
Republican gains. Ohio emphasized
the fact that her decision in favor of
Republicanism last autumn was n she
meant to abide by. Cleveland, Akron,
Findlay, Columbus, Cincinnati, and
Dayton gave handsome majorities, and
gains for the party of protection were
reported from every quarter of the
State which has repudiated our late in
teresting visitor, Campbell, and pledged
her faith to our other and worthier guest,

A Republican majority of 5000 in the

Put these things with the sharp re-
Duke administered to Tammany in the
charter elections throughout New York
State, and the conclusion is inevitable
that a Republican autumn is likely to
follow this Republican spring.

American clocks, watches, revolvers

German competition in cutlery has
humbled Sheffield nightly since Charles

Manchester is the centre and the *

Such concentration is no accident. Be-
sides, England's limited area, which
will not produce food for her peo-
pie, compels her always to sell,
sell, sell. in order that she
may buy and not see starvation.
But counting out England's very ex-
ceptional case, where could one look for
National" free trade? Germany is
building up a mighty nation behind the
defense Of a protective tariff and meet
ing English skill and capital in home
competition. Belgium and Holland,
Europe's two most prosperous nations,
are protectionist. Frances marvellous
prosperity is caused by it, or SO her peo-
pie think. Spain and Russia have the
tariff but that they have made less pro-
gress under it is not at all to be imputed
to it as a fault. The South American
republics have all adopted a tariff policy
and ven Great Britain's thriving colon
les Of Australia and British America tax
imported good and owe to that tax a
marvellous development in homo in
dustry.
W. cannot, from Great Britain's isolated
example, argue that free trade is "natu-
raj" or that, If it We're, the adjective
would carry conviction of the wisdom
of the policy. Circumstances alter cases
and American statesmen are certainly
wise if they elect to preserve, by the
same means which created it, Americas
marvellous industrial development.
