The voters will learn a lesson in the
impressive and often sad school of
experiences lesson which had much
better have been learned before they
heard and needed the siren songs of
the SO called confidence restoring,
prosperity bringing horde-a lesson
which, however, when learned will be
resultful of benefits to the great body
of our citizenship.
Referring to the situation, the
Columbia State frankly admits that
it ''shall not pretend to deplore the
facility with which prohibitory tariff
duties are being heaped up in the
Senate" because sit is this sort of
excess that produces quick reaction"
The State says, further:
''The pingley tariff is an effort to
overcome by artificial means for the
benefit of the favored classes the in
exora bic law of falling prices under a
contracted currency, but it will fail;
until they give the people a broader
standard than gold and more money
to buy these tariff enhanced articles
the sales will shrink and high protec-
ton will lose its reputation DIS a
restorative. Let protection and
gold monometallism be discredited
together and they will be rejected to.
gether Every thing works well
towards a two thirds Democratic
majority in the next house."

RESULTS OF AwYoMING QUAKE.
Many Deep Fissues Open and Two
Acres Sink Fotry Feet.

CASPER, Wy, June 17.-About a
month or six weeks ago many citizens
noticed slight motion of the earth.
while many in the surrounding coun
try felt the quake, and dishes and
loose articles in houses ratified in
an alarming manner. In Bates Park
the shock was much greater and
more plainly felt. lis effects have
just been discovered.
Charles Richardson, ranchman
of Bates Park, while in search of
horses last week, was at the head of
bottom Creek, on bench of Laramie
Plain, two miles west of Horse Buttes.

ground made by the earthquake,
which grew larger as he advanced
and showed great depth.
He dlsmounted and investigated.
He dropped pebbles into the crevices
AMI listened attentiyelv to the sound
as the stones bounded from side to
side, until 1t died away in the depths.
He went further and found the
cracks three feet across and d1scerned
no bottom He then came upon the
! main or principal crack about forty
feet across and crawled cautiously
| and looked down.
A further investigation showed a
space of about two acres that had
sunk about forty feet, with perpen-
dlcular walls.

A MATTER that will be watched

plan tor organizing the unemployed
masses into a cooperative common

Washington, with a view to extend
ing it's workings throughout the
country. 1t is proposed that the
collective name of the scheme shall
be the Social Democracy of America.
The plans are somewhat upon the

EXPERIENCE.

Evil is sometimes overruled and
good results are FASTENED. 1t ap-
pears that this will be the case in
reference to the present tariff tinker
ing by the Republican party.
The first debt due by that party is
to the trusts and not to the people
and, as the interests of the trusts
and the people are conflicting, the
tariff bill as finished product must
create disappointment and disgust
among those who were beguiled into
the idea that a Republican Congress
would devote itself to the task of
lifting oppressive burdens from the
shoulders of the people.
This disappointment and disgust
will eliminate in determined pur-
pose to kick from power the party
that would trife with an oppressed
people by increasing prices upon the
necessities of life, in order that the
trusts may make bigger profit, and
at the same time maintaining a con-
tracted currency at the behest of the
money hoarders.
Power is with the people and they
can rule if they will. This giving
stone when they have asked for
bread will arouse them to a sense OF
the great fact that they are the
of this republic. In this
way will the grievous evil which the
Reeds and Hannas and McKinley's
will foist upon the American people
eventually be overruled for good.

vincing proof that has been real and

North Carolina and her interests are

Practical Pity.

Rev. George D. Baker, Presbyterian, Phila-

There is nothing more hardening
to the sensibilities than the failure to
translate pity into action. Christ's
pity was practical. We are told he
had compassion on the hungry
multitude, and the immediate result
of it was how many loaves had he.
This is finely illustrative of the way
in which Christ's whole nature moved
at once and In unison.

In the industrial revolution that is

important part in atfording employ
ment to sou hern labor and bringing

Every body at all familiar with the
swamps OF Virginia and North Caro-
lima knows that for generations
these swamps have been denuded of
their valuable timber. leaving
countless gum trees standing, which
were considered as utterly worthless.
During recent years, however, a
change has taken place, the once
despised gum being sought after to
be worked up bv machinery into
butter dishes, strawberry baskets
and articles of similar nature.

THE bill introduced in Congress by
Representative Stokes, of South
Carolina, to reduce the salaries of all
public officials, to comport with the
appreciated money standard, may
help to send the introducer back to
Congress, but he had about as well
be whistling to the wind as trying to
get such a bill before Congress.
Hard times lose much of their terror
to the fellows who get on the Con-

and it will be very difficult to
convince them of a necessity to cut
their salaries 80 per cent, as pro-
posed by Mr.. Stokes.

important dispatches to the Cuban
Junta in this city. He is sanguine
of the ultimate success of the insur>

the fight. Their guerrillas have been
killed off by the Cuban sharpshoot-
ers, and the Spanish regulars do but
