story. Far better that than vexing I'M
certainties
A Republican house has been in ses-
sion since last December, and its rid
died bill still losses about at the other
end of the capitol.
If there is any through train to con-
gress the country would shout for joy
TO see the tariff get aboard Of it. If
there ever was occasion to put on
special it is now.
Gathering ourselves together also on
the monetary question cannot be done
too soon. There is no use sending dele
cations TO foreign nations until we
have some definite proposition to
make.
Let authority be given Immediately
for a monetary commission to deter
mine what the United States wants TO
do on the money question, and then let
US go after it and get it as promptly as
possible.
If to be impatient is unpatriotic, when
the DELAYS are so rrotracted and SEEM
ingly unnecessary in adjusting these
two great questions upDermost in the
public mind, then l must ask to be for
given for miscounting the pulse of most
of the people that / meet.
since the war no such exigency fell
upon the country as that which pre-
ceded the election of November. 1896
The spirit which moved the people
then is Still alive. 1t will neither be ig
nored nor dallied with. The tariff.
money, economy of expenditures, must
be arranged fairly ard promptly If we
are to find contentment or prosperity.
There is undoubtedly some pique in
the above, but there are also a great
deal of keen observation and sound
sense. What is said about campaign
speeches is true. and yet campaign
speeches ard exhortations to wait and
be patient are all the people have re-
ceived since the advent of the present
administration, whose coming was her
aided as that of prosperity itself. Not
only can the public heart not be fred
by campaign-speeches eloquence at the
present time, but they are a mockery
to it,
Nothing could be truer than what is
said about sending monetary commits
sions abroad: it is eminently sensible
It would be quite impossible to devise
any more pitiable scheme than that of
sending delegations abroad to find cut
the views of foreign nations on the
financial question. when such delega-
tions are unable to say what the gov
eminent that sent them desires in the
matter.
Impatience may possibly be unpa-
triotic. but it is always a forerunner of
advancement and reform. AS there is
time 10 weep and time to laugh. so
there is time for Impotence as well
as for patience. At present. the spirit
of impatience is on the face of the
waters.

makers complaint is that Fine words

TALES OF THE DAY.
First Shot From Sumter.

Charleston, S. c.. dispatch to the Phil
adelphia Press: John ]. Jolly of Denver.
s. c., has in his possession the first solid
shot fired by the garrison of Fort Sum
ter. on Friday afternoon, April u. 1861
in response to General Beauregard's at
tack. consequent upon the refusal of Ma
Jor Robert Anderson to evacuate the fort
when ordered TO do so. The shot is q 40
FOUNDER. Although priced very highly as
an inheritance. it has been donated BY
Jolly to the monument to the Confederate
dead. which is now being erected by the
Ladies Monument association of Ander-
sor. s. G. When the monument is com
Dleted the ball will be mounted
Jolly states that there is no question of
the authenticity of the relic. He says that
the shot was picked up by his uncle,
'Manse' Jolly, on Sullivan's Island, a
short while after it had been fired His
uncle was attached to one of the numer-
Gus forts erected on the island during the
months preceding the evacuation and. by
leave Of absence, he was strolling along
the beach about o'clock in the afternoon
when the first shot was fired from one of
the 'barbette guns. The shot was picked
up and secreted until the close of the
war. when 1t was taken to Jollys home.
at Anderson Upon "Manse's'' death the
ball passed into the possession of the
man who has just donated Ii to the Con-
sederate monument.

CAUSE OF THE BUSINESS DE-
PRESTON.

The Philadelphia Times, speaking of
the present depressed condition of the
business of the country and the con-
tinual cry of the calamity says
that the business depression is chiefly
! the result of bad legislation enacted
many years ago; that it would be I'M
fair to accuse our craftsmanship of in
competency. because many OF the most
\ injurious laws under which we are now
suffering, were enacted under the ex-
ceptional necessities of war to meet
pressing emergencies. It further de-
clares that if President Harrison had
been reelected in 1892, the same busi-
ness conditions would have prevailed.
There is much truth in all this. Tn
questionably our present business de-
preston is chiefly the result of bad
legislation enacted many years ago,
but not at the period to which the
Times refers. Much of the war legisla-
ton was doubtless bad, but the worst
legislation was that of 1873 when sill
yer was demonetizel. That was the
evil legislation, though how evil was
not realized at the time, Just as
a man may receive a mortal wound
and still linger along for considerable
length of time hoping soon to be re-
stored to health. Nor is it unfair to
accuse our statesmen of incompetency
so long as they cannot or will not see
what is the cause of the suffering of
the body polite and remove it. They
have been diagnosing the case this way
and that; experimenting first with this
remedy and then with that, but the
patient has not been made whole. They
are clearly open to the charge of in
competency or dishonesty.
The Times says that if President
Harrison had been reelected in 1892
the same business conditions would
have prevailed. That is beyond dis
pute. for he, like his predecessor and
successor, who were one and the same
person, refused to recognize what was
the true cause of all the depression.
Last November the people realized as
never before that the trouble with the
country was the financial one, but
voted to try the wrong remedy, yet
instead of applying it President Nc
Kinley goes and, gets the old tariff
bottle, shakes it up and says that more
copious doses will make all well. AS
though big and little doses of that med
icine had not been tried and failed,
His blind faith in it is disgusting
rather than admirable; but none the
less he proposes to administer il in
such quantities as will cure or kill.
Against hope let us hope that it will
cure In the meantime the people
should bear their burdens cheerfulIy
and as best they may, discouraging the
calamity-howler and encouraging
everything that gives any promise of
better times.

HURhY THE TARIFF BILL UP.


The Dingley bill was rushed through
There was neither discussion nor con-
sideration Of it. L was administered
to the house much as medicine is to
patient; and. like a good patient, the
house took it and asked no questions.
The bin is now in the senate. and
while it was reported from the finance
committee of that body with some
notifications, still it is substantially
the same bill. There has been some
discussion of it, but the voting on the
various schedules shows that it viii
go through the senate practically as it
came from the committee. The Demo-
Gratis are hopelessly divided in their
views Of the bill, so that discussion
becomes almost a waste of time. This
being the case, the bill might just as
well be FASTENED through the senate
that it may go to conference commit
tee, be passed by both houses and pre-
sented to the president for his sigma
ture. That it will receive it there is no
doubt 1t may not meet his expecta-
tions. but he will never characterize it
as q measure of .'perfidy and dishonor"
and refuse to sign it.
The people know now as well as they
will two or three months hence what
the new tariff bill win be like. and they
realize that nothing viii change it ma
terially, and hence it is that they are
becoming impatient to have it placed
upon the statute book that its eff
cacy as a cure, partial or COMPLETE.
for the business Ills from which the
country now suffers may be tried. 1t
being a certainty that the tariff bill
will be passed as it came from the
senate finance committee, with perhaps
a few concessions to the house in tine
shape of higher duties. and that all
this viii be effected by a conference
committee, why longer delay the pas
sage of the bill merely for the sake of a
of due elaboration and dis
cussion?
The tariff bill has been decreed. Let
the decree be proclaimed and enforced
as speedily as possible.

Anent the prevailing discussion as TO
the highest speed ever attained by expert
shorthand writers there is a story 60
ing the rounds OF the feat of a Georgia
court stenographer. which by long odds
broke the worlds record in that lire of
work.
II was when that eminent jurist, the
late Judge Richard Clarke, was presiding
IN the Atlanta circuit OF the superior
court. One of the most remarkable muir

upon to charge the jury on some decid-
edly new and interesting legal points,

rapher.

1t is a real pleasure to note that
Utah is conspicuous by its absence
from this list. The record of the state
in this particular is a very good one,
there having been but three lynchinss
in fifty years. One of these occurred
at Logan more than twenty years ago;
another in this city about fourteen
years ago, and one at Park City the
same year.
1t is shocking to contemplate these
statistics, yet it is noteworthy, per-
haps, that the largest number of lynch
ings occurred in the year 1892. the very
same year of which we hear SO much
in connection with the high water mark
of prosperity.

The New York Tribune says that the
cost of the completed capitol at AL
bany, with the central tower left out.
foots up s23.000O00, twice as much as
that of the national coDitol, conjectur-
ally more than that of the golden house
of Nero. or the Dalmatian palace of
Diocletian. or the white house of Chos-
roes-in fact, exceeding all precedents
of expenditure. if the pyramids and
few other giant constructions of antio-
uity be left out of the list 1t declares
that when the last stone is finally laid
and the last bill for construction liqui-
dated there would be cause for general
jubilation throughout the common
wealth. except that the necessity for
repairs will always continue drinking
up more and more money generation
after generation till it tumbles into
ruins. 1t is a huge monument of prod
igality and corruption, those elements
of its composition needing no central
tower to publish them abroad.
Monarchies are corrupt, but il is
doubtful if ever any monarchy or re-
public either was more corrupt, from a
monetary point OF view, than this same
Empire state that never tires of prais-
ing itself and disparaging all others.

The Butte Inter- Mountain saws: "a
Butte footpad ran up against the wrong

who knows what it is TO take
chances, was accosted by a knight of
the road and ordered to throw uo his
hands. He obeyed the order only in
part, throwing up one hand 10 the point
Of the highwayman's jaw. The latter
fell to the ground, dropping his pistol
and bowling for mercy. The prospector
calmly kicked him all over the street
and proceeded UP town. He did not
even take the trouble to report the in
cident to the police. He has nerve
enough and muscle enough to dispense
with the police whenever he feels like
walking up from the depot. If the DC
lice can find a man today with
swollen jaw, two. black eyes and a
couple of broken ribs, that is the fellow
who tried to hold up the prospector last
night"

IN the Statesman's Year Book for
1897. the map Of North America shows
Alaska labeled Russian America, and
painted green to signify that it is a
Russian possession. A handbook of
such value. and usually of such accur-
acy, should find a nap more nearly up
TO date says the Boston Journal. The
criticism is in no sense warranted The
map referred to shows the political
status Of North America in 1887. 1t
also shows Texas TO be republic and
the Pacific slope as still Mexican ter
ritory. On the same sheet is a map
of North America showing the political
status of the different divisions in 1897.
In this map Russian America has be-
come Alaska, and appears as part of
the United States.
