1.-THE MANIA OF PROTECTION

Wonderfully and fearfuliy made have
been some Of the explanations Of the
action Of Senator Bacon and other
Democratic senator's in voting for a
duty Of 20 per cent ad valorem on raw
cotton. The Jacksonville. Fla, Times
Union makes one cf the most remark
able explanations We have yet seen.
It saws the imposition of this duty
is an innovation: that during the whole
time of the existence of our govern
r,ent imports Of cotton have been
without AJAX upon it; that cotton was
a southern product. and southern rep
resentatives in congress We're free
traders. This IS one reason it assigns.
But it says there was another, which
was that the south was the worlds
source of supply for cotton, and an
import tax was useless for the reason
that no cotton was imported But a
change has come about, says the
Times-Union. Southern representa-
tives are. perhaps. as much free trad
ers as ever, but they seem TO nave
come to the conclusion that the BEST
way TO kin the mania Of protection IS
10 make protection universal. Besides
this. during recent years there has
been a large and increasing importa-
ton of Egyptian cotton. This cotton
is better than our uplands-longer in
staple, stronger, silkier. II is particu-
larry useful for the manufacture of
sewing thread and the highest grades
OF hosiery It is also useful for admix-
ture with silk. Consequently it comes
in competition with our sea island cot
ton to some extent. Senator Bacon
had a practical reason. therefore. for
demanding that duty be put upon it."
one would naturally expect from
this, that the Times-Union would an
ticipate great benefits to result to the
cotton growers of the south from the
Imposition OF duty on cotton imports.
but it does not. On the contrary. it
says:
We think it likely that the duty will
not produce a dollar of revenue, and
do not expect it to benefit any cotton
grower, but we heartily approve Sena-
tor Bacon's action, nevertheless. The
burdens of protection ought to be
equally distributed, and we are always
glad when some of them are put on

HAWAII AS A CALIFORNIA
COUNTY.


The San Francisco Examiner is of the
are annexed to this country they can
never be important enough to justify
making them a state. with two sena-
tors in the upper house of congress,
and that territories under all the tradi
tons of American politics are
but communities in training for state
hood. 1t also very truthfully says that
the government of the United States
is not well adapted to the permanent
government of a dependency. And
this is one objection to the annexation
Of the islands. But the Examiner has
a plan for overcoming this objection.
Here it is:
''The proposition 10 make the islands
a county Of California is more in the
line of practical craftsmanship. There
is but a single drawback to this plan
from the position of this country, that
is to say-and that is in the distance.
A county 1000 miles away from the
seat OF government is. to say the least.
something new. There is. however, no
great practical difficulty in this part
of it. The islands would attend TO their
own local affairs as now; elect, per-
haps, a representative in congress and
several members of the California leg
islature. and administer the California
and federal laws instead of those now
in force. The change would not be
great. But we might have to wait to
the next steamer to know how Cali
fornia had gone in every election. Pos
sibly, however, the suggestion of being
a county of California win take the
edge off the Hawaiian appetite for an
nexation. 1t would leave some states
men out of a job, or at any rate re-
duce them from the high-sounding title
of cabinet officers to the more humble
place of supervisor or county clerk"
While the islands are somewhat dis
tant from California, yet there is this
advantage about that, that distance
lends enchantment to the view" How
would it do TO make several counties
out of the islands and divide them
among the coast states?

Speaking of the duties that college
graduates owe to the country, the Bal
timore Sun says:
Many thousands of bright, educated,
well-meaning young men are gradu-
ated every year from the colleges OF
the country and they would soon leaven
the whole lump if all should be deeply
impressed with the necessity of dis
charging their full duty as citizens TO
the end that free institutions may be
perpetuated. They are threatened now.
not by anarchists or socialists, but by
false theories of government, by selfish
schemes of individuals and combina-
tions who seek to use government au-
thority for their private benefit and by
the corrupt use of money in controlling
legislatures and courts. The college
graduates are under special obligations
because of their learning 60 combat
false theories of government and lead
in the warfare against corruption IN
politics. They have been given many
talents and will be called to account
for the proper use of them. And no
matter what distinction they may win
in some chosen profession. they will
not render an altogether satisfactory
account unless they can show that
they have properly discharged their
public duties end have labored not for
themselves alone. but for the welfare
of their country.
Too much is expected of the influ-
ence of college graduates in politics.
When they enter politics they usually
succumb to it. at least more often
than they raise its standard The col
lege graduate as a moral force in poll
tics has come to be good deal of
fetch the same as the old college edu-
cation has.

It is recognized that in teaching chill
dren. anything that will arouse their
interest in any given subject is a good
thing, and that the best way to dc this
is by illustrating with things local and
with which pupils are familiar. In
some of the text books adopted for the
schools OF this state this plan is to be
adopted. This is particularly so with
regard to the work on bookkeeping.
The forms of notes, checks, drafts and
certificates of deposit to be used are
20 be those Of local banks, that is,
banks within the state, and the actual
names Of different banks used. Most
people will say that this is highly
proper and shows fine Difference for
local sentiment. Don't let anyone get
the false notion that this is to be done
out OF Difference to local sentiment, for
it isn't; it is purely an advertising
dodge. The banks whose forms are
used will have to pay $40 for each form
used. When one thinks of the text
books in the public schools being made
the medium for advertising banks and
other institutions, involuntarily ones
thoughts go back to the methods pur-
sued at 'Dotheboys Hail." only here it
seems to be the plan to do everybody.

All travellers on railroads have ex-
perienced much annoyance from the
dust that the train carries along with
it. 1t is believed an invention has been
patented that will do away with this
annoyance. This invention, which is
patented by the assistant engineer of
the West Jersey and Seashore division
of the Pennsylvania railroad system,
and which division will use the inven-
ton, consists of the application of a
heavy oil of low cost, the product of
petroleum distillation. This oil being
applied TO the surface of the track and
roadbed, including the sides of slopes
in cuts, fastens the loose particles of
the surface together. and prevents
them being lifted by the rush of air
caused by the train. If 1t proves sue
cessful, and comes into general use
the inventor Will have conferred a
great blessing on all railroad travellers

While vinegar may often be injurl-
GUS, especially as much of it is now
made from chemically produced acids,
the natural acidity of fruits produces
just as good effects in stimulating the
liver without any bad after results.
Nor need we be confined to fruits that
taste acid. All our northern-grown
fruits, even when sweet, contain
enough acids to make them beneficial.
Very rich fruits contain much saccha-
rine matter which DISCUSSES their
acidity. They are however, not so
easy to digest as the less highly fla
vored fruits, in which acid predoml-
mates. The Russell apple, for exam
pie, though called a sour apple, has a
great deal of sweetness under the
sour, which makes it's cider very rich
With SO great variety Of fruits as can
be always had in the markets nobody,
