YANKEE BRAINS.

Governor Tillman of South Carolina
made an address on the opening of Glenn
son College. in which he complime nted the
200 students assembled with the assurance
that they were sufficient brain power for
the State. 1--WE have" he said, ''the brain
and intelligence here. We have no use for
Yankee BRAIN" Possibly South Carolina
has reached point in development which
renders her independent of the progress Of
other parts of the world. The Chinese
came to the conclusion several centuries
ago that they knew it all. but tho latest In
telligence from that land is that they are
building ships and casting guns after the
European and American patterns. De-
prived of the stimulus Of competition the
Chinese have become dull. They thought
they had reached perfection. and were
rudely shocked when they found that out
side barbarians knew things they had never
dreamed of. The Governor of Sonth Caro-
lima did not probably mean quite all he
said. Yankee inventions. the product Of
Yankee brain, have been found quite use
full in the enlightenment of other States
than South Carolina, and may be found
useful there.

CASTING ABOUT.

In casting about for cause OF the indus
trial depression n ow prevailing in the East
ern States the apprehension Of revision
of the tariff on tariff for revenue principles
constantly presents Itself. The evasions
by which this apparent cause has been
sent to the rear or at least minor cause,
are often shallow and sometimes amusing.
A disputant who coolly ignores facts pat
ent to every one else is not taken seri-
ously, however much in earnest he may
seem to be. An example of this kind of
argument is found in the st. Louis Re-
public, from which We extract the follow
ing:
This Mckinley tariff mas not created new
export trade in manufactured goods. 1t has
prevented an enormous Increase OF exports OF
agricultural products and has directly operated
to diminish the prices OF what We did export.
1t diminished prices by saying to European
consumers: "YOu shall not pay for our grain
and meat with what you have for payment"
Necessarily they took only what they were
compelled to take and at the lowest prices.
The fact is that in the face Of our sup
posed declaration to European consumers
that they should not pay for our grain and
meat with their manufactured goods, trade

to tho value OF about S98. O0OO 600 in excess
of our sales. The goods we bought were
of course the goods our European con-
sumers had to sell. The Mckinley tariff,
therefore. did not prevent an enormous
increase of exports of agricultural pro-
ducts by Withholding from Europeans the
means to purchase with. The facts of
trade reports show that we did not export
as much as usual for the reason that
Europe could buy cheaper elsewhere.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

A correspondent asks THE CALL to ex-

competing for common markets, each

in a foreign market quite as cheaply
as any other European nation, while
paying slightly better wages. by its
advantages in the way of an almost ex-
haustless supply of coal and iron. Being
unable to compete with other nations in
building wooden ships. its coal and iron
mines enabled it to build ships of s,sel at
less cost than like ships could be built else
where. Its natural advantages overcame
the artificial advantages of its competitors
in the way of cheaper labor. The protec-
tive system relieves the producer of one
nation from numerous foreign competitors
in its own market. Duties are placed on
all products which without such duties
may BE- imported at less than home cost.
The protective policy does not help to con-
troll the markets of the world. but 1t holds
the home market for the home producer.
Competition under nearly equal conditions
controls prices. The protective tariff gives
to all the homo producers a certain fixed
advantage over the foreign producer. It

STRIKE IN ENGLAND.

A strike of gigantic proportions Is imm-
nent in the English coal trade. For avery
long period Industry of all kinds has been
in a depressed condition, and to add TO
the complication the almost unprecedented
drought of this year renders the harvest
very seriously far below the average.
There are signs that a revival OF manufac-
turing briskness may occur. rs an alterna-
ton TO the protracted spell OF gloom which
has prevailed not only in England. but
other countries. The hope at least is en-
tertained that bottom has been touched in
the depression. But if strike involving

peared to be Indifferent about resumng.
so poor seemed the prospects owing to low
prices and the heavy drain of fixed charges
on royalties and way leaves. but coupro-
mise was ultimately struck. Now the
masters are bent upon obtaining further
reductions in wages, and the men are de-
termined not to submit Only portion OF
the miners have been notified Of reduc-
ton, but the federation Of workmen has
decided that those who have not been noti-
fed shall be called out. This decision has
not been arrived at unanimously. but the

the majority of 10000. The masters may
be Influenced by the dread of bringing all
industry to a standstill, but they may pos
sibly prove stubborn, even to the extent of
refusing ar bitration. Everybody acknowl-
edges the disastrous consequences of these

THE CASE OF NEWFOUNDLAND.

Here is another group of islands which
step forward. with their hat in their hand,
and wonld like, if you please, to be an
nexed. These are Newfoundland and the
little islands which surround Its shores.
Their trbulatiOns are grave, and the only
remedy seems to be for the habitants to
throw themselves into the sheltering arms
of the United States.
The political status of Newfoundland
was fixed nearly 200 years ago. at time
when the principles of government were
underlined. By the treaty of Utrecht the
French fishermen were secured in their
rights OF fishing and drying Goa on the
south shore of Newfoundland, and France
was confirmed in the sovereignty of the
Mianelop Islands. For century or more
the dryinegrounds between Cape Raw and
Cape Race were jointly occupied by
fishermen Of all nations, and all
fishermen were permitted to fish in
the bays, creeks. sounds and river
mouths on the southern portion of the
island. Within the last quarter of GEN.
tury the Frrneh have taken a new view Of
their treaty rights and have construed
them IS comforting upon the French ex-
elusive territorial rights over South New
forndland, In continuity with this view,
French men-of-war have driven the New
f0undlanders out of the seas washing their
own territory. and have even forbidden
the exploitation of mines or the construc-
ton OF railroad in that territory.
Frenchmen have established factories for
the canning Of Holsters, and have refused
TO pay duty on plant and supplies.
Against all this the Newfoundland Gov
eminent has vigorously protested and has
appealed to the British Government for
protection. No atten ton being paid in
Downing street to the appeal, the leading
men OF the island now declare that they
will seek protectors elsewhere and they
make no secret Of their intention to offer
us their hand and heart.
Ii the United States are pining for terri
tory here Is land that ought to suit them.
Newfoundland is as large as Virginia. but
though 1t was discovered and partly settled
by Englishmen before Columbus had
made landing on the continent it only
contains $4,000 people. Yet ir contains
hne copper mines, splendid pine forests.
and On Its shores are the largest food fish,

A Love for Quail Leads Andrew
Capelli and His Friend Into Diff

There was an additional and unex-

yesterday.

one during the afternoon. The mother Of
the calf was caught near Rock Springs.
Wyo., about two years ago by Captain
Thompson, so well and favorably known
to park visitors. This is the second calf
she has had, and the latest advices yester-
day were that mother and-whichever it
is-are doing well, while the pa" buffalo
is noisy in his rejoicing at being again a
father.
Andrew Capelli and friend started out
early yesterday morning on a cunning ex-
pedition. Close to tho barn on the Park
and Ocean Railroad the two sportsmen
disturbed fine covey of quail. Quail on
toast is a delicacy. and Capelli fired and
brought down five fine birds. The park
officers got on the track of the gunners,
and after long chase Capelli was cap
tured. He explained that he lived at "a
Dor!and street and objected to being
searched. but the persuasive eloquence of
Captain Thompson moved him to unbur-
den himself Of the discriminating birds.
Later in the morning Mrs. II. NJ.
W0oley. who resides at 1915 Grove street,
was driving . lady friend through the
park when the big bay took the bit be-
tween its teeth and ran away. Officer
Complin swung his lariat and stopped the
