Kissing the Bride in Kentucky.

kissing the bride is out Of date now,'
remarked Esquire Hause yesterday, in a
regretful tone The grooms object, and,
of course, we do not insist except III very
rare instances | formerly made Il regu-
lar thing in kissing Lexington. Ky,
brides, but upon one occasion [ kissed one
of them aud the groom said it paid the
fee He refused to give me anything
else. Still. did not care much, tor she
was a beauty. But times are too hard
to permit Of such fees rs a regular thing,
and have tabooed the custom altogether.
Some country brides and grooms think
something has been omitted if the lady
is not kissed by the man who performs
the ceremony, and in such instances |
always call the groom inside and make an
arrangement with him whereby l am to
get my fee in addition to the kiss. But
most brides object TO being kissed, too,
and as general thing they are too ugly
for the magistrate to insist.

Water in the Desert.

A thin fringe of grass ana bushes
which seemed dead for years extended
east and west across our course and ran
back to the mountains, twenty miles
away. There was the bed of Lost river.
Men screamed out instead Of cheering as
they urged their horses forward toward
the blessed water which was to quench
their thirst. We looked down from the
bank on the winding channel of yellow
dirt so dry that the puffs of wind raised
little clouds of dust here and there. Not
Il drop of water had run down that chan
mel for weeks. Despair fell upon the
men-sicnt hopeless despair-and It's Ell
feet was curious. No one cursed or MUIR
INJURED.
On the far bank were a few stunted
cottonwoods struggling for life and fur-
nishing scarcely any shade. One by one
we followed the officer across and pulled
the saddles from our horses and turned
them loose The officer issued no orders;
the men had no words for each other
Each one threw himself down, with the
feeling that the end had come.
1t wasn't sleep. but that dim conscious
ness one has just before chloroform be-
numbs his senses. We knew when one
of the dismountea troopers dragged him
self into camp and fell among us with a
groan. We knew when the sun went
down We felt the cool night wind of
the mountains, but il anyone moved 1t
was only to turn over Night fell, and
the canopy of heaven was studded with
stars Nine o'clock. 10, II, midnight,
found us still lying there. Then came a
curious sound-;. sound like a gale ad-
yaneing upon ship over a calm sea.
It grew louder and louder. and with it
were mingled the neghing and galloplng
of our horses Men who had fallen down
to die sprang to their feet to behold a
wonderful spectacle. From bank to bank
Lost river was full of rushing. foaming
water. sent down by a cloudburst in the
mountains miles away.
Water. water. shouted a dozen hus-
XIV voices in a chorus. and next moment
there was i mad rush. Men and horses
rushed into the flood. to be swept down
and drowned together. A quarter Of an
hour after that rush there were only
eleven Of us to answer to our names, and
only half dozen horses We're nibbling
at the parched grass around us. Back on
the trail were three or four corpses in
uniform The rest of the troops were
victims of the flood which rolled past us.

Fidelity OF Whales.

The fidelity of the male and female
whale to each other exceeds that of most
animals. Anderson, in his History of
Greenland" mentions that some fisher
men, having struck one Of two whales,
male and female that We're in COM
pany together. the wounded creature
made long and terrible resistance. With
single blow of its tail it upset boat
went to the bottom. When another boat
came up, the other whale still remained
by it's companion. and lent it every as
sistance, till at last the wounded victim
sunk under the number and severity Of
its wounds, while its faithful partner,
unable to survive its loss. stretched her
self upon the dead body of her mate, and
calmly shared its fate.

Southern Democratic followers and their
degenerate Northern allies endeavored in
another way to retain their political
power. They successfully secured the ac-
QUESTION of Southern territory, vainly
hoping to extend their power by increas-
ing the number of slave states.
Notwithstanding their heroic efforts to
mold their political control of the nation,
they could not contend against the nat
ural increase of the wealth and popula-
ton resulting from our protective policy.
which gathered both from every quarter
of the globe.
"Analyze the political records and opin-
ions OF the trainers OF the present pro-
posed tariff measures and it will be
found that the chief authors OF these
measures are those who struggled for
tour years in a bloody civil war to de-
stroy the Union and who engrafted in
their Confederate constitution free
trade clause, hoping thereby to receive
material aid and recognition from their
English allies, whose interests they are
now striving to serve at the expense or
their own country.
The war they wage today is more de-
structlve to property than was their
more honorable. because more open, war
fare on the field of battle; for it will
be found, dating from the time when
the country learned that the old slave
that the shrnkage of property and actual
loss to trade and to our worklngmen,
now amounts to more than the entire
cost of the Civil War.
Hence their acts today constitute q
more ignoble conspiracy against the wei
fare Of the nation than in 1861. They
may succeed. with the aid of untaithtul
representatives from the North, who
grossly misrepresent the interests of their
constituents when they aid in passing an
act designed to strike Il death blow at
the very life of every home industry.
But those un-American people deceive
themselves now as much us they have
done 4 any Of their past deeds against
the national interest if they hope by this
proposed tariff act to advance their po-
htical power or even the welfare OF their
own section
THE people Of the North will realize if
they have not already realized. that there
exists no loyalty or love of country in the
heart of any man, North or South, who
aids by his vote the Gripping or the
destruction of our home industries, and,
as a consequence. the degradation of
labor to the level OF the pauper paid labor
of Europe.
The South will again suffer for the un-
wise acts of her representatives. as they
have always done in the past. and to
whom the Southern people are indebted
for all their troubles and lack of pros.

A Few Important Facts of History.

W. ,. Manning OF New 1Ofk makes
contribution to the tariff history Of this
this time as showing why Calhoun
changed from Il radical protectionist to
bold free trader The main points Of the
article are as follows:
"Originaly John G. Calhoun was as
radical Il protectionist as was Henry
Clay. In the early period of Mr.. Cal
houns political career, as our congression
al records show. no man advocated our
protective policy more inteligently or
with more yigor than he did. His pow
erful mind grasped and solved that poit-
ical problem so clearly and SO conclusive
ly that no point was left upon which TO
hang an adverse argument.
AT the time when Mr.. Calhoun pro-
claimed himself. in and out of Congress,
and sealed by his votes. prior to 1920. his
honest support and advocacy of our pro-
tectve system. the country was by Il vast
majority pro-sIavery. The slave power
then controlled both houses of Congress;
in fact. the legislative. the executive and
the judiciary was dominated by them.
After the enactment OF the protective
tariff Of 1924, which followed that terri
bic period of ruin, distress and misery
similar to our present deplOrable cOndi-
tion--caused by the low tariff act Of 1916.
for revenue only. not for protection
the industries throughout the land sprang
forward with SlSaullc StIlutS, ds tuey re-
Gently did under the Mckinley act.
1T was then that Mr. Calhoun per-
ceived that the protective system was
driving the slave power to the wall.
State after state repudiated slavery, and
unless something was done to check the
growing political power produced in the
North by our protective industrial sys-
tenn, Mr. Calhoun and Ills followers knew
that their political supremacy and the
slave power could not exist. Not salts

tive free-trade policy and bitter hostile
opposition to any protective system, de-

About the Scarecrow Of Class Legislati,

About the ScarecrOw OF Class Legislation.
Here is an extract from the speech of
the Hon George h. Shaw OF Eau Claire.
delivered in the House of Representatives.
when the Wilson bill was under discus
sion:
is it any wonder that the people
Of my district, regardless Of party. be-
lieye that the scarecrow of class leglSla-
ton should not be set in place III the corn
field Of public opinion by the representa-
tive of a cotton growing district who
votes TO place on the free list cotton ties,
used in baling cotton. while insisting that
the bands on the farmers pail, or on
the bunch Of shingles he buys TO roof his
granary shall be subject to Il tariff tax:
is it surprising that the enlightened
people of Wisconsin do not understand the
modern idea Of political economy which
affords the rice-groWer of the Carolinas
a protective tariff Of 81 per cent. while
conceding the barley grower of Wiscon
sin protection of only 20 per cent:
What answer can be made to the in
telligent farmers Of Wisconsin who find
that their potatoes are protected from
the vegetable-grower of Canada by Il
duty of 20 per cent. while the tooth
some peanut of the Old Dominion is
sheltered by a protection of 73 per cent
and who ask if this favoritism is not Il
fairly good example of class legislation. :"

Tho Profits of the Sugar Trust.

Gen Samuel Thomas Of New York.
practical business man, and not a par
tisan, speaking of the sugar trust and of
its greed and power, says: AS plaln,
independent American citizen, without
reference to party, | say it is shame to
give the sugar trust the bonus presented
by the Senate programme. 1t is an out
rage that this trust should own enough
senator's to hold Congress by the throat
and say: You shall give us what we
want or there shall be no tariff legisla-
ton A tenth of a cent specific duty
would be ample for the protection Of re-
flneries; yes, a thirty-Sceond would be
enough. But this bill gives one-eighth IN
clear gift of ST., 100000 for the benefit,
not of a widely diffused industry. but Of
a dozen men in New York city. 1t is an
outrage, and yet the trust has bought
enough men at Washington to be able to
have its will, or kill any other tariff meas
ure There is no worse example OF stock
watering than this sugar trust presents.
A plant and property that everyone
knows were not and are not worth more
than S15,O0O,O0O to ST. 100000 have a
capital Of $50, 900 900 preferred and $50
100000 common stock besides S1O.OOO,-
600 or so of bonds. Even protective
duty of one-thirty second of a cent would
give profits that would enable this con-
Germ To pay Il TO 20 per cent. OH the ac-
tual value of the investment 1t is an out
rage and yet indignation will not avail
against the purchase of legislation by the
trust.
The entire course Of the Democratic
party on the tariff question has disgusted
the financial world. The long delay of
the Democratic conferees i'll calling the
Republican members of the conference
committee has excited Indignation. The
general comment was well expressed by
George b. Gibson. who denounced their
action as IA piece of unparalleled political
insolence" Mr.. gibson compared the
informal" conference Of the Democratic
committee to Cromwelfs trump parlia-
ment Of 1913" This committee of con
