1t is significant of the great change
which the sentiment, Of the country has
undergone in regard to tariff that the
south, which was formerly the native
home of free trade sentiment is now
asking for protective duty on cotton.
says the Minneapolis Tribune. South.
ern planters have appeared in strong
force before the ways and means com
mittee and shown that the importation
of Egyptian cotton has increased very
materially during the last ten years and
that the price has been constantly de
clining. They aver that. however low
the cotton planter of the Mississippi
valley may fix the price of his long
staple cotton the Egyptian dealer comes
in little bit below him. The conse-
quence is that the American planter is
being Constantly driven out Of the mar
ket, he raises less and less of the long
staple each year, and after a while, if no
relief is had, there will be none raised
in this country. Then the Egyptians
will have the market 10 themselves and
will fix the prize to suit their own pro.
fits. Last year the import OF Egyptian
cotton was equivalent to 10000 bales of
American cotton. The Tribune sympa-
thizes with the Southern planters
in their demand for protection of
their great staple, and will not throw
up to them their former opposition
to the protection of Northern industries
asked for similar reasons. We want to
see all American industries protected
North and South. 1t is not impossible
that in time the South, with its increas.
ing iron, cotton and miscellaneous man.
ufactures, will be the mainstay Of the
protective tariff propaganda instead Of,
as formerly, the mainstay of the oppo-
sition. The fossilized Southern senators
and representatives in congress who
have not yet caught on to the order Of
things and oppose protective tariff be-
cause their fathers did. will be obliged
to change their tao, les or retire to pri-
yate life

The republicans here are greatly
elated. says q Pierre dispatch. over the
outcome of the late session of the state
legislature. With large majority
against them they were able to capture
all the good things in sight, and are on
record as favoring every meritorious
measure that was before the Legislature.
Ninety-seven bills became laws. Gov.
Lee is busy reviewing the bills passed
by the legislature. He says he will veto
several items in the appropriation bill,
which he has right to do. He has
signed the bills to create state board
Of regents. the bill extending the tenure
of Office Of the railroad commissioners
to two, four and six years, and the bill
providing for the election Of supreme
and circuit court judges at general elec-
tions. and extending the tenure ofoffice

Newspapers, says the Minneapolis
Tribune, are first TO enter new fields Of
action when prosperity promises and
they are the last to leave when adversely
threatens. 1t is significant, therefore,
of marked revival of business in the
Black Hills region that several import
ant journalistic enterprises are under
way out there.

President Mckinley don't seem to
harbor any fear of beng shot on the
streets Of Washington by cranks, as be
WAS reported walking with no apparent
concern along the avenues Of that city a
few days ago. Cleveland was trifle
too nervous TO find enjoyment in such
exercise. and was therefore not seen on
foot amid the crowds that throng that
popular thoroughfare. II will be re-
membered that his nerve failed him at
q much earlier period in his history.
when the services of the young men Of
the nation were required TO preserve
the life of the country's flag. His nerve
was not equal to the test, and he fur
nished a substitute TO represent him
upon the sansuinary field. McKinley's
nerve is Of a higher order, and the
dangers that beset him upon the field of
battle were powerless to cause dismay
and it is not at all probable that his
mind is tortured with the fear Of being
assaulted upon the streets, however
great the danger of such happening
may be.

A true story with a moral.

Jim Russell wanted the nomination
for county treasurer in Beggs county
last fall, and his success was conced-
ed by those who knew him He was
as energetic as tug boat and as tire
less as mule The other candidates
lay down and groaned when they
heard he had entered the lists.
But he failed TO reach the goal
One day he drove fifteen miles
through pouring rain, over roads
hub deep with mud, to see man
farmer of some influence.
The farmer received him cody.
$50 We drove through that mud in
three hours, did yes" he inquired.
II did" replied Rnssel.
The farmer pondered few mo-
ments.
4 s'pose We want the delegation
from this town.
II do.n
"WeIl, my boy, I'm afraid ye can't
have it. You was solid with me up
to few minutes ago, but, by thun-
der. man who can drive fifteen
miles over such internal roads in
three hours wouldn't be safe man
TO trust with the county money; he'd
be too hard to catch"
Shortly after this the other candi-
dates took courage, and Jim was de-
feated overwhelmingly.
Moral-Don't hustle too hard.

while. Here is what the blood drink
ing editor of the Emporia Times prints
under the head of "a Bugle Call"
sThe cry of discontented people is
heard in the land. The long suffer
ing, heart tired, much promised and
outraged people are at last aroused.
Patience is no longer virtue. Parti-
sanism is not chain whose links can
not be broken. Its binding influence
is rent and torn. The religion Of pol
itics has become an earnest skepti
cism. The people are thinking and
the power of the oppressor is tremb-
ling on the precipice. 1t is tottering to
its fall. The people will again be free "
What hot, seething thoughts must
have been tipping aronnd in that
mans ''innards" like bobtailed sky
rockets before he got those scorching
words out of his system. How the
bur r-rr Of the changing wheels in
his head must have kept him awake.
II is an awful thing to be a thought
thinker to actually have chunks of
wisdom dumping around in ones
thinkery, and to feel the thud and
chug OF large jagged ideas as they
bump into ones reasoning faculties
bruise his gastric works. The popu-
list editor has for years and years
scorned strawberry short cake and
cream. He has no room FOR it. His
hide is stuffed full of smoking, steam
ing thoughts about slaves and the
downtrodden and oppressed. Pass
him a pot Of peas and new potatoes
and he lets it 20 untouched. Show
him a plate of nice, brown, crisp,
fried chicken, he will shake his head
sadly and pick up the well masticat-
ed rag OF woe and chew it wildly,
passionately for few minutes and
then the spiritual creature has RECALLED
himself-the glorious act is accom-
plished- nature is satisfied!
In the meantime, while we are all
standing waiting for ''the people 10 be
free again, while ''the religion of pol
itics''-whateve that may be-is get
ting ready to pop and scatter the
uangled carcasses of heli-born pluto

get that good grade of beet green's

had at purely nominal price in the
open market. This will keep soul
and body together until buckwheat
cakes aud pigs melts bloom in the
late fall. Let us keep our heads cool
and our feet warm and our power dry.
When the time does come to roll up
our pants and paddle around in the
blood Of the revolution, it won't hurt
us TO get our feet wet. Then we can
live to see the great day when the
plutocrats will be dead and there will
be a law against work Then we will
do nothing but Just sit and think, and
