That the wife-murderer, McAvoy. should have
cheated the gallows or the electrical chair by
voluntarily seeking death is not likely to cause
distress regret in any quarter. The law Is as
amply vindicated under the circumstances as II
could have been had days been spent In his trial
and special consideration been given him in the
row Of the condemned at Sing Sing. Only TO the
unthinking is the death penalty society's revenge
on those who murderously violate It's most sacred
charge. and the horror Of this mans end was
more shocking than the worst things that have
happened on the gallows or in the death room
at Sing Sing.

Beet ana Reciprocity.

s
The recent worry and fret over the
beef situation could have been settled
in the twinkling of an eye if the re-
ciprocity feature of the Mckinley law
had been incorporated in our present
nondescript tariff act.
1t was the design of the friends of
reciprocity to apply this principle SO
as to admit free, with compensating
benefits from other countries, such ar
ticles or things as we're not produced
by ourselves in sufficient quantities for
the domestic consumption.
Under the Mckinley reciprocity
clause in the act of 1890 the President
could at any time remove the duty
upon any article, and at the same time,
by treaty, enlarge our expectation of
such commodity as the country with
whom the reciprocal relation,was es-
tablished should want.
In case of the possible inability of
our own cattle raisers to supply the
domestic demand the exercise of such
powers by tho Executive, did they
exist, would be most effective. Sup
plies could be drawn from Argentina,
Mexico and Canada, and for the priv
ilege extended to these countries
privileges would have been obtained in
return.

Southern Cotton,s Danger.

According to the report of the Sen
ate Committee appointed to inquire
into the low prices OF cotton, there
appears to bo such difference of
opinion on the part of cotton raisers
as to what the cost of producing the
staple really is that the committee re-
Trained from making report upon
that part of the subject matter. Some
of the experts who were examined
placed the cost as low as three cents
per pounds others declared that cotton
could not be produced at less than
eight cents at a safe profit. These
opinions cannot affect the conditions
surrounding the price of the staple in
this country, but there is a factor now
operating which is depressing to the
prices of cotton in the American mar.
ket, and that is the free entry of
Indian and Egyptian cottons.
The introduction here of Egyptian
cotton has we'll nigh destroyed the
Sea Island cotton industry on the
coast of the South Atlantic States.
and now the short staple, or upland.
cottons of the United States will have
to meet the low-priced short staples
of India, not only on the Liverpool
market but also in our own markets.
The importations of these cottons
have steadily increased, and we have
now the report OF the Department at
Washington showing the receipt of
IA, SS2, 562 pounds for January and
February, against 4,s07,SS pounds
for the corresponding months in 1894.
The attention of the South has been
directed to this menace time and
again, not only by the protective
press but also by certain Southern
papers, among them the Charleston
News and Courier, of South Carolina.
The evils of tie situations cannot now
be neutralized in any way that We can
see, but the next Congress could levy
sufficient duty on raw cottons to
give some measure of protection to
this depressed and Improbable in
dustry. There are over ten million
of our people directly and indirectly
Interested in the cultivation of cotton.
They must have protection if they
need it.

One of the strangest coffins ever
told of is that for which the British
War Department is said to be respon-
siblo. The story is that workman
engaged il casting metal for the man.

Arsenal lost his balance and fell into
caldron containing twelve tons of
molten steel. The metal was at white
heat, and the man was utterly con-
sumed in less time than it takes to tell
of it. The War Department authori-
ties held conference and decided not
to profane the dead by using the
metal in the manufacture of ordnance,
and that mass of metal was actually
buried and q Church of England

How Farmers Feel.

A New York State farmer tells us
that the markets are very dull for all
kinds of produce. He sends us q
Cooperstown market report which
shows that farmers receive only twelve
cents q dozen for their eggs, sixteen
to seventeen cents pound for their
butter and from four and half to ten
cents pound for their hops. AS it
costs ten cents pound to raise hops,
and that price is paid only for the
choicest growths, it is evident that
the process of letting the hop growers
out into the markets OF the world by
reducing the tariff on hops. SO that
foreign grown hops can reach our
markets more cheaply. has not proved
to be the great success that the FREQ
traders predicted.

willingness to entertain girl or boy
for week. The society paid for the
transportation of the children to ant
from tho country.
"It's good notion" commented
Mr.. Joplin.
''But very few of these kind people
want boys nowadays" continued Mr.
Hallett. "The little chaps are in
clined to be riotous. Nearly every
one has asked for girls OF late. The
boys do good deal of mischief, an6
behave, presume, like wild Indians.
cor, jest simply like boys" sug
gested Mr.. Joplin.
And then little Knucks, the lame
boy, returned. He hoped in and
laid the card on the desk.
"Here is the ticket back again, sir, >
he said. "Let some other boy use it
l don't need it. I'm not going" He
was outside of the door by this time.
Mr.. Joplin's tall form arose sud
denly from his chair. He took few
long steps and placed his big hand on
the lads shoulder.
"Here!' he said, fairly propelling
the little chap back into the room.
''Come back here !"
"Tm not goIn' to the country to-
morrow, the lad persisted. 'Lemme
go! I'm busy!"
"Sit down there" commanded Mr..
Joplin.
"Now. when Knucks had received
the precious ticket emitting him to
the country week he had flown home
ward as fast as his crutch would car
ry him. Little Jimmy Patton, the
sun-strlcken lad, lay on the brisk lit
tie cripple's bed. He looked up weakly
as his friend hoped into the room.
"Tve got 1t, Jim !" Knucks cried,
eagerly, eve got ticket for one,

The sick boys face lighted up and
he took the ticket and looked at it.

Where Factories Are Wanted.

In the West and South there is just
now an eager desire for more fac
tories, especially in young growing
town. Why? Because most people
in such places are convinced that fac
tories increase the value of real estate
and benefit the merchants and neigh
boring farmers by putting money in
circulation. Yet these same free
traders who favor local industries
oppose the National protective policy
that promotes the public welfare in
the more general establishment Of fac.
tories throughout our country.

The hanson cab will, in the, opin.
ion of members of the cab fraternity,
eventually give place to the bicycle,
except that in this case the bicycle is
to be a tricycle., states the Chicago
Times-Herald. The vehicle will have
two seats, one for the driver and one
for the passenger. This will save the
expense of keeping horse and give
the cabman needed exercise. 1t is
conceivable that two sets of pedals
might be provided and reduced rates
given to sturdy passengers who would
help push themselves.

the Secretary answered that nobody
wanted boys yet. This boy limped in
and out on crutch, for one of his
legs hung withered and useless, but
his limb was brisk despite the heat
and his evident weariness. But he
stopped when out of hearing, and one
hand slipped furtively up and dashed
q tear or two away.
Upon the following afternoon tall,
angular man came striding briskly into
the office. The Secretary looked up
from his writing, then greeted him
politely.
'Paul Hallett, I reckon?" inquired
the newcomer.
''That Is my name. sir. What can
do for you? I-why, of course
remember you, John Joplin" said
Mr.. Hallett, with hearty ring in his
voice. ''And I am truly glad to see
you again, old friend"
Mr.. Joplin in his we'll known pep
per-and-salt suit, did not look particu-
larly prosperous, and the Secretary
was afraid that he had been obliged to
save and hoard in order to make this
journey back East from Colorado, to
visit old scenes. But he was very
glad to see him, and he was talking
over old times when he was interrupt
ed by the entrance of the lame boy
who had come the day before and gone
away disappointed with whistle on
his lips and tears in his eyes. To-day
his face seemed to look little older
and thinner. But he hoped in
briskly on his crutch.
"Got a chance for me yet, sir?" he
! asked.
"Yes, my lad," the Secretary an
swered. "I have just one chance for
boy. You can spend your Fourth
ofJuly week in the country. What
is your name?" AS he spoke he held
out a card.
"Hi!" The boy fairly snatched the
card and hopped out of the room
with smoothered whoop.
"That boy has happy week before
him, said the Secretary. 81 wish it
were in my power to make many more
such little fellows happy in the same
way"

Mr.. Hallett briefly explained the So

day from the exhausting heat of the
sitting city unless helped. Kind
