THE INFAMY OF THE THING.

Senator Jones, of Arkansas, was one OF
The senators who was active under Sena-
tor Gorman's leadership in arranging the
compromise tariff b1l' Of the Senate.
To show that the compromise bill' has
made great reductions below the duties
imposed by the Mckinley bill he has made
the following comparative statement Of
duties:
lie states, for example, that the Nc
Knley rates on wooden yarns range from
Jos per cent. to 27S per cent. while the
proposed amendments make no rate on
such yarns higher than 30 per cent. Wool
en- and worsted cloth are reduced from l63
per cent. TO 40 per cent; cheap shawls
from 80 per cent. to 50 per cent; cheap
knit fabrics from 1856 per cent. 10 20 per
cent; blankets from IS per cent. to %
per cent; cheap dress goods from 30 per
cent. 10 40 per cent; clothing from 80
per cent. TO as per cent In the iron
schedule ii is proposed to reduce the NC
Kinley tax of rs per cent on tin-piate
per cent. 10 &c per cent. on pen-knives
from 62 per cent. 10 % per cent; bars
from IS to Is per cent; plg-iron from 40
IN 25 per cent. In the iron schedule, how
ever thanks 10 some compromisers init
macy with the high tariff lords. the reduc-
lions are very small. The figures are also
open to question Take, for example, pig
iron. The Senator calls the compromiser S
rate Of 81 ton Is per cent which Is
making pig-iron worth SIG ton. whereas
we know that some brands OF British pig
sell for little over half that sum-
Now these look like very great reduc-
tions in the Mckinley duties. but the
thing is utterly deceptive. In the first
Mace Il should be noted that the com
promise bill" has raised the duties as
contained in the Wilson bill when it pass
ed the House. in the average. from twenty
20 twenty-five per cent.
In abe second place this is to be borne
IN mind: The first effect Of high tariff
is 10 raise prices very greatly. But these
hlCn prices stliuuio'V PipN~N'''H WIN Ail-
provement OF methods. and thereby bring
prices down. causing the formation OF
'trusts" and monopolies. Under the
operation Of this economic law prices have
come down until with the duties which
the compromise bill' provides for. for
eign articles can be completely excluded
from this country. while the trusts and
monopoiies are able TO suppress competi-
ton and retain ali the business for them
selves. The net result then Of the
compromise bin is that while It makes
very great reductions below what the
Mckinley duties are. II stll leaves the
duties high enough for the present monop-
olies TO bar out all foreign goods. OF
what value is II 10 the people Of the
United States TO tell them that the duty
on wooden cloth is reduced from 1853 per
cent. 10 40 per cent. II that forty per
cent Is enough 10 exclude English cloth?
OF what value Is II to tell them that
the duty on clothing Is reduced from
eighty per cent 10 forty-fye per cent, II
that forty-nve per cent. Is enough to keep
out English clothes? The reduction OF
. duty simply means that the New England
manufacturer Of clothes has improved lii

the Democrats may put up.
II also seems to be pretty well set
tied that Mr.. w. II. Gravely. Of Martins

antecedents, will be the man they VIII

"a, ret n duty OF forty-nve per cent. on
clothing he can undersell IN America the
English manufacturer who has to pay the
forty-five per cent The net result then
10 the weaver of clothes Is this: II there
we're no duty he could get an English
suit of clothes for (say) $40. Under the
duty OF the compromise bill he VIII

Il will not he the same suit either IN
stead OF being the durable English suit
Il will be the indifferent suit OF Yankee

Why. then. should Mr.. German parade
the fact that he has reduced the duty on
clothes from eighty per cent, as II 10 -

from twenty 10 twenty-five per cent 10
all the duties which this real reform

made his compromise biz just as much
a Mckinley bill as McKinley's bill itself
was. McKinley's immense duties were
necessary then to exclude foreign articles
but methods of production have so I'm
nroved that Germans duties will now do

The little creature which possesses
the distinction of having more legs than

to the family of insects known as mile
peds, or Thousand footed. There are
several different species of these, but
they all possess the common character

segment OF which is provided with its
own pair OF feet. These are set so close
ly along the body as TO resemble hairs,
and when they move one after another
with perfect regularity the effect is pre-

According to Pratorius, the man in

ing the bundle OF sticks which were to
be lighted to sacrifice his own body on
the mountain top. Dante believes him
to be Cain, carrying bundle Of thorns,
the meanest offering his lands afforded,
as a present to God. In Iceland the peo-
pie claim that they can see the face of
Adam in the moon and that of Eve in
the sun. Among the Frieburgers there
is a superstition which says that the
marks and spots on the moons face are
the outlines OF the traitor, Jrdas Iscar-
lot, holding his hand over his face while
sneezing just prior to hanging himself.
This last belief accords with the ole
Frankish legend, which says that there
was no spot on Luna's bright face until
after the time of the crucifixion of
Christ. Still another story tells us that
in the time OF the creation God threw
an offending angel against the face of
the moon, while another is to the effect
that the moon witnessed the creation of
Adam and Eve and took an impress of
their features on his surface, intending
to people his own land with similar be-
ings. When he essayed TO initiate God g
works, he made nothing but Shiny SER

RIGIDPROHIBITION
South Carolina Supreme Court Makes
an Important Ruling in Liquor
Cases:
Since the DispenSary Law Was De-
clared Unconstitutional There
Is No Power
BY Which Liquor Licenses Can Bt
Granted--Injunctinn Against
Florence Authorities.

ST.. LOUIS, May ga special to The
Post Dispatch from Columbia, s. c.,
says: The dispensary law now gives
way to rigid prohibition. The supreme
court SO declared in announcing its de-
cision in cage from Florence, asking for
an injunction torestrain the city council
from granting licenses for selling liquor,
on the ground that there is no law au-
thorizing the granting thereof. In its
decision, the court says that under the
law rs it now stands, there is no au-
thority invested with the power to grant
licenses for the sale of liquor in
this state, and hence the act of the city
council in granting such license
is void, and the court therefore
grants the injunction. The court
also refused motion for the dis
charge OF a man named Brunson, who
was arrested in Florence for selling
liquor without q license. The court
says that the dispensary act of 1893,
having been declared unconstitutional,
in all its provisions except that forbid
ding the granting of licenses to sell
liquor, after certain date. the repeal
ing clauses Of that act must be regarded
as If never enacted, hence the previous
law forbidding the sale of liquor with
out license remained in force.

For several years the posts through
out the North have been sending money
to the local post to decorate graves in
the six national cemeteries near Rich
mond. Each year a surplus has re-
manned after the work was done. This
was not returned to those giving it, the
post thinking it had the right to use it
for any purpose 1t saw fit. A fund to
erect memorial hall was started and
