Lumbermen Want Protection.

Lumbermen of this section of the coun-
try, as well as of all other sections. are
going to ask congress to put a tariff on
lumber. The most of them in the south,
1t is pretty safe to say. believe in a tariff
for revenue only. but they want a tariff
on lumber for protection. If they don't
get it in the bill which, 1t is expected, the
republicans will pass. it will not be be-
cause they failed to make an effort to
get it.
There is some excuse for their demand
for protection. They are compelled to
compete with the lumbermen of Canada.
Canadian lumber is now admitted into
this country free of duty The Canadian
lumbermen get their machinery, betting
and rails for the roads they build into the
timber sections free OF duty. On all of
these things and many others our lumber
men have to pay a heavy tariff tax.
If lumber is put on the free list these ar
ticles which are necessary in the manu-
facture of lumber ought to be put on the
free list. To illustrate how our lumber
men are handicapped in competition with
Canadian lumbermen It is only necessary
to call attention to the one item of steel
rails. In this section in order to get logs
to the mills railroads have TO be built.
These roads are often many miles In
length. on account of the protective tariff
on steel rails the cost Of these roads are
at least a fourth more than they would
otherwise be.
There IS an impression that Canadian
lumber does not come into competition
with tho lumber OF this section. That Is a
wrong impression. The Canadian product
is put TO the same uses in many Instances
that tho southern pine lumber Is. and It
forces down the price OF the southern pro.
duct. II wc are TO have protection all IN.

1t is gratifying to get some Information
with regard to the correct pronunciation
of the name CT the late lamented Cuban in
surgent general. In Cuba, it is said, the
name is pronounced as if it were spelled
Mah-say-o, with the accent on the sec
ond syllable. In Madrid, however, it is pro-
nounced as if 1t were spelled Mah-tha-yo,
accent on the second syllable. A New Eng
land contemporary volunteers the inform
alton that, generally speaking. the accent
of Spanish words is governed by the rules
for accenting Latin words, which provide
that in words of more than two syllable,
if the penult is long it is accumulated, but
if it is short the accent is on the ante
penult.

1t is not hard to discover retributive
Justice in the lynching of Bill Proctor
in Kentucky, reported in our dispatches
yesterday. Proctor was himself a lynch
err; and that which he had measured I'M
to others was melted to him. That fact,
however, is not a justification of the act
of the mob which lyncned him. That
crime was as despicable as Proctors. In
deed, it was more to be condemned, if
possible, for it was an insult to the legal
ly constituted court which would have
inquired into the charges against Proctor
the following day if he had not been
lynched.
