except Evanston when he told his dis
ciples to go forth and preach the gospel
to all the world. and says he will fight the
case to the bitter end. Since BoothTuck-

conclusion that it can legislate the army
out of the city on the ground that it is a
nuisance. There is a point, however, at
which prosecution becomes persecution.

The best that can be hoped for under the
20 per cent. duty on cotton is that lmpor-
tations from Egypt and the East which
come into competition with our long sta
pie cotton will be shut out, thus leaving
the American market for the home pro-
duct. IL is not claimed. so far as we
have seen, that the producers OF short sta
pie eotton-the standard crop-wil be An
and manner benefited The importations
Of long staple amount 20 something like
5000 bales a year. With the American
market closed upon this cotton, Il would
have to find a market In Europe. The re-
suit would be the depression OF price. and
European manufactures. with cheap labor
and cheap material, would be able TO en-
ter into competition with and undersell
American manufacturers In the markets
which the latter must control in order TO
be able 70 pay an increased price for the
American long stap.e cotton. This is an
argument against the duty which we have
seen advanced by a South Carolina cotton
mill man, who. by the way, does not manu-
facture or handle sea island cotton.

Heresy. and a Poor FiEure.

The following expression is clipped
from the editorial columns of the New
York Tribune: "Colored Bishop Turner,
of Georgia, thinks that there is no more
future in this country for his race than
for hog in a snakes den The bishops
view Of the outlook is darker than the
bishops complexion. and is at least in
equal need of a coat of optimistic white
wash. The colored man gets on quite
well here. north or south, so long as he
behaves himself, as the great majority of
them do. The industrial show which they
made at Atlanta and are making at
Nashville is convincing testimony, among
many others, of their satisfactory pro
gress and prosperity"
Is not this a rather strange doctrine for
the Tribune to be preaching? Is it not
heresy from the northern republican
point OF view? II is a fact that the blacks
get along very well so long as they be-
have themselves. But how long has it
been since the Tribune, and other papers
of its party, were preaching that
the black man was poor,
down-trodden victim of the white race,
especially in the south? How long has it
been since they were calling for bayonets
at the ballot boxes for the purpose of en-
forcing the rights of the colored voters?
How long has it been since they were
practically in line with Bishop Turner
himself. and giving expression to just
such ideas as those for which he is now
condemned? The Tribune and other north
ern papers are evidently gathering some
facts about the colored people which they
have heretofore lacked.
We do not know whether the hog in a
snakes den" figure originated with the
Tribune or with Bishop Turner, but it is
not good one to carry the idea that is
sought to be conveyed. The majority OF
hogs would not one whit mind being in a
snakes den. They would rather like It.
The hog Is a natural enemy of the snake
The hog is the one animal upon which
snake virus has the minimum OF effect II
the hog be fat, the bite of the snake will
not raise a pimple. But the snake that
does the biting win quickly pass in his
chips. He will be killed and eaten. Hogs
have been known to become regular snak,
hunters. The snake-hunting hog turns
| his jowl to the enemy and receives IN,
bite where there are but few veins ant
considerable fat and then rends tn,
snake with his hoofs and tusks and eats It

WOULD HANG sHERIFF MARTIN.

ON the Shooting.

Editor of n Foreign Paper Comments
ON the Shooting.
WILKESBARRE. Pa, September 13. -
Sheriff Martin came down to Wilkesbarre
from his home at Plains about 8 o'clock
this morning. He at once repaired to his
office in the court house. where he held a
long consultation with his attorney. Later
he was in telephone communication with
General Goblin at Hazleton. He may go to
Hazleton this afternoon. Sheriff Martin
insists on walking the streets unattended.
His friends think this Is dangerous. and
they advised him to procure a body guard.
but he laughs at the idea. He says he
does not believe for a moment that his life
is in danger. His belief Is probably founded
on the fact that he does not hear what his
eremies have to say about him, and ne
does not read the newspapers.
The foreign newspapers printed and cir
crlated In this section viii devote great
deal of space to the sheriff in their issues
of this week.
The editor of one Of these journals has
publicly expressed his belief that his coun-
trymen who were shot at Lattimer were
murdered. and that the sheriff was the MUIR
derer Hanging. he thinks, ought to be his
lot. Up to noon no attempt had been made
to arrest the sheriff. 1t Is said the warrant
villa not be served until tomorrow.

rection a little later. The harmless and

rection a little later. The harmless and
innocent appearance of these people was
in striking contrast to the military prepa-
raticns that were made to receive them.
There were no uniforms. no bands and no
sign of either arms or disposition to- use
them. They marched along in an irregu-
lar .'hion, with here and there COM
pany of women within the ranks. The
men were poorly clad and understood fel-
lows. the IT ajority of them Polanders.
No mutttr rings or expressions of anger
were INDUCED in. The spirit of the occa-
sion was merely a protest against the Kill
Ing of their feilow-men. These people came
from every direction, north, east, south
and west of Hazfeton. and. of course, nine
tenths of them were unacquainted with
the men of the little hamlet of HARDWOOD
who were killed. Their coming was to pay
respect to the memory of the dead who
are held as martyrs to the cause In which
they are all concerned. The crowds cen
tered on the streets around the principal
Polish church and adjacent to the under
takers shop where nine of the bodies have
remained since the killing. The number or
the individual arrivals during the morning,
and 5000 people were packed i'll the streets
around the church by noon.
Priests Promise Mediation.
General Gobins conference with the
priests this morning led the latter to
promise to prevent incendiary speeches
and this obviated the necessity of the pres
ence of militia in the immediate vicinity
of the church.
At 2:35 pm. all excitement seemed over
for the day, but the chance of trouble is
not entirely averte1. The Catholic priests
here have used their best efforts to keep
down the wrath of the strikers and have
succeeded admirably. The men who at
tended the funerals of the strikers this
afternoon have begun to depart for home
an1 on this account no further disturbance
is looked for at present.
Gen. Goblin considered at this time that
the excitement was about over. He will,
however, keep a strict guard around the
mines and buildings tonight and has no in
tention at present of withdrawing the
troops. He will stay. he says. until the last
fear has been proved to be groundless.
Several thousand miners will attempt to
return to work tomorrow with the assist
ance of the militia. and this may cause
some disturbance. but 1t is not looked for.

such sales. The total buying by foreign
houses is estimated TO have been between
10000 and 10000 shares. This demand on
almost any da, within the last month
would have forced a sharp advance in all
departments. Unfortunately for present
prices the demand was coincident with an
increased supply and prices instead of be-

the entire list.
Some good buying by commission houses

The coming cabinet meeting and .he

as a factor. Arrayed against these sensa-

in earnings and the attendant certainly of
increased dividends.
