de una parte, que no entOrpeceran nues-

Esta ha sido la tradicion constante
del partldo liberal puertorriqueno, y es-

Pero desde Ell momento EN- que la di-

500 Reward 800

The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure
in all it's stages, and that is catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive
cure known to the medicine fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional disease, re-
quires a constitutional treatment. Hairs
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous sur
face of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the con-
stitution and assisting nature in doing
it's work. The proprietors have so much
faith in it's curative powers, that they
offer One undred Dollars for any case
that It fails to cure. Send for list of tes-
timonials.

Abbeville, S. c., August 4.-Senator
Tillman spoke to the farmers. institute
here today delivering the first speech
he has made in the state since the
opening Of h present senatorial cam
paign. He defended the ~dispensary
law and declared that the roubles it
had been involved in were due, not to
the law itself. but to it's unwise adj
m~inistration. He endorsed the tariff
views of Senator McLaurin and said
that, while he himself was not a. pro-
t~ectionist, if there was any stealing go
ing on he wanted his state to have it's
share. He told his hearers tina he
was the only farmer in the senate and
that he, therefore, represented the 3d.
600, 600 formers of the United States.
He declared that his speeches were as
popular in h senate a at home and
told how, when he arose to speak, the
cloak-rooms always emptied and the
galleries filled.

Senator McEnery Defines His Position on
Tariff

New Orleans, August 4.-The Chotaw
club of the democracy, rendered Senator
H. D. McEnery a reception tonight at the
Grand opera house, to endorse his course
in congress. The principal feature of the
evening was a lengthy speech by Senator
McEnery, explaining his tariff position.
He gave the history of tariff agitation and
showed that no support of free trade had
ever been given by the democratic party
or democratic leaders, the tariff for reve-
nue. only in democratic platforms meaning
incident protection. The democrats who
opposed the Dingley tariff bill in congress
were mostly all in favor Of protecting
some local interests, and there were other
interests besides local ones which hope
lessly divided the democratic members.
The very interests they desired to protect
would have been hopelessly injured by
the defeat of the bill, and he did not in
tend to take any such hance Nor was
he willing to ask for Louisiana what he
would not grant to other states. The
south Is undergoing an Industrial revOlu-
ton n the manufacturing, agricultural
ana mining interests Springing up need
protection. Opposition to former tariffs
came because the south was exclusively
agricultural and dependent on slave labor
1t was sectional opposition. Slavery has
gone, the sections greatness must spring
from the addition of mining and manufac
ture and her younger statesmen will
understand them. He willingly gave up
hope n expectation of future prefer
thought would bring prosperity to
Louisiana. Senator McEnery. in conclu-
sion explained the sugar schedule of the
tarlH bill and condemned the sugar trust.

THE EQUALIZATION BOARD.
Chairman Wilson Shows How It is Impos
sible to Garry Out the Terms of h Bill
Creating the Board

Especial to The Messenger.)
Raleigh, N. c., August 3.-Chairman
j. w. Wilson, of the state board of
equalization. was specially interview
ed and said:
1.-THE act creating this board requires
all property to be reported to the audi
tor and given to us by August 10th of
this yea Up to this date only thirty
four counties have made returns. It is
impossible to TAX action until all are
in. If all are here by the 18th, it will
give only fifteen days to equalize and
return to each county for revision of
it's lists. and then to return to Jul
board. This is an impOssibility. 1t
would require at least two months to
correct properly and make a report;
but the sheriffs are required to have
the tax lists in hand by September LIST
and persons failing on that day to pay
such failure. The bill which created
our board is a o Of the Idaho law,
and is not at all suited to North Caro-
lima. In one place it requires the sheriff
and in another the register Of deed to
make returns. There is a dispute as
to which shall do it, and, as a result,
the work is not done by either"

place non-union men in them. The
miners officials say they will have lit
tie trouble in getting these men out IL
they succeed in closing De Armitt's

Mr.. De Armitt is confident the
strikers cannot wholly shut down his
mines and AYERS that a change will
come over the scene within h next
few days, although he does not say

strains the defendants from assembling
and encamping upon the highways,

same for the purpose of intimidatng
and preventing the plaintiffs miners

Mr.. De Armitt would not say so, but

to dispense the strikers. In a publish

etteville department.
The street parade which formed on
upper Hay street at $50 o'clock this

was a very striking pageant. 1t was
headed by the big Six band, setting
the pace to the strains of marshal
music, and the order of march en-
braced the SO of the principal thor
ou%ghfares of the city. Not since the
centennial celebration of 1889 has such
a concourse of people invaded this his
