WASHINGTON, May 10 President
Mckinley has begun to take hand in
the tariff and from this time on it is
expected the influence of the admins
tration will be felt more and more
every day. President Mckinley does
not assume to usurp any of the consti-
tutional privileges of Congress. His
service at the capitol taught him that
the members of the national legisla-
ture invariably resent any direct inau-
ence ON the part OF the executive tend
ing to shape Legislation itself. Mr..
McKinley's sole aim is to spur on the
members of the Senate to prompt
action.

A Brute in Uniform.

Capt.. Lowering, of Fort Sheridan, who
punished a private soldier by ordering
him to be dragged by the heels several
hundred yards through the dust and
over rough and rocky surface, is a
brute. The captain is not fit to be IN
the society of soldiers and gentlemen,
and he should be dismissed from the
service which he disgraces.
1t should be ths object of this govern
merit to build up th= army, improve its
tone and draw good men into its ranks.
Under the methods of Captain Lover
ing no decent American would be willing
to serve in his company.
Such an officer is hated by his msn,
and in time of war they would shoot
him in the first battle.
Civil punishments are not needed in
our army. The ordinary and usual
methods are good enough and th5re are
hundreds of officers who have been in
the service forty years without ever
finding it nee ssSary to resort to brutal
measures There is something wrong
about an officer when he cannot control
his men without being bully and a
tyrant.

A Sad Case.

1t Is 10 be hoped that another trial
will establish tbs, innocence of Mrs. At
kinson. he wife CT the governor of
West Virginia. The people of the coun-
try are becoming deeply interested in
the case. They sympathize with the wo-
man. and they honor the governor who
married her after the charge of forgery
had been made against her. AS a true
man he could have done nothing else.
1t was his only way to protect her and
show the world that he believed her to
be innocent.
OF course, if she is convicted the gov
ernor will pardon her. 1t might be Ro-
man virtue not to do it, but our people
do not Ike that kind of virtue whsn it
ifs against nature The warm hearted
Judge or governor who loves his family
and friends and stands by them when
they are in trouble, whether right or
wrong, is worth all the cruel old Romans
that ever lived. while there remains
a spark of doubt, the American people
will believe that Mrs. Atkinson is an
innocent woman

A Man of Liberal Views.

Mr.. James Seldom Cowan, who is
running for the legislature in Fairfax
county, Va, has written an open letter
to the people in which he pledges him
self to introduce bills ito exempt all per-
sonal property and the homestead of
each family from taxation; to repeal the
poll tax and the tax for the use of the
seal of the state; to prohibit the taxa
ton of authors, inventors, book agents
and peddlers; to repeal al laws that per-
init coercion on account of debt or pro-
vide for the collection of debts, or i'm
pose any Imprisonment for the violation
of contracts; to establish and operate
public industries, whether the owners of
private industries like the competition
or not; to provide public employment for
everybody who waknts it, at good wages,
short hours, fair treatment and frequent
vacations, with pay while on leave of alb
sence; to enable the people to enjoy life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness, as
well as the entire fruit of their toll
whether their oppresscrs like it or not"
This liberal programme should attract
hosts of voters. Nothing could be more
tempting than plenty of wcrk for every
body in the service of the state, with
good wages and frequent vacations.
Then, it would be very pleasant to have
NO laws for the collection of debts and
have so many things exempt from taxes
and executions.
Mr. Cowan Is hummer, and if he fails
a conspiracy against him. Since Jack
Cade no man has made bigger promises
to the MASSES.

Home Industries.

The Washington Post thus comments
ON one of the most important matters
that can concern a community:
If lit be good policy-and we have no
doubt THAT it is-for the United States
to patronize and protect home industries,
why is it inspolitic for a single state to
do what may lawfully be done in the
same direction? The Constitution guar
antees freIs trade between all the states,
but that does not control the govern
Inerut or people of any one of the states
to buy the products of another. AS a
rule, when individuals are at liberty to
buy what and where they please, they
put their money where, in their judg-
ment. it will do them this most good; in
other words, they buy in the cheapest
market with little regard for the inter
ests of the locality in which They reside
But a state government may deem it
eXpedlent to encourage the businss in
tersSts of the people whose agent 1t is
by purchasing public stores manufacture
ed or raised in the state, even at high
err cost than that of similar articles pro-
duced in other states. In fact the
govisrntmsnt of California has already
adopted this plan for the fostering of
home industries, and has a law ON it's
statute book providing that in the COM
petition for tine furnishing of supplies
for public buildings or public works TO
bids shall be considered coming from
without the state, If California produces
the article herself
1t seems that the recent application
of this law in California does not suit
some localities in the east, and the New
York Mail and Express protests against
1t and suggests that the east ought not
to buy anything from California. To
this The Post makes the following sem
sible reply:
We think the east takes these Califor-
MIA products because 1t warts them
and can get them on advantageous
terms. We think 1t will continue to
ward ard to take them ON business
principles and without an iota OF senti-
ment We are equally confident that the
people of California and the Other Pa
cific coast states will continue to buy
eastern products for the same business
reasons. This little attempt ito encour-
age home manufactures by buying their
products for use in state institutions Is
smah basis for the fuss that is being
made about it, 1t cannot prove a very
serious check to interstate commerce.
Is the Main and Express quite sure that
the state of New York has not enact ed
In the interests of local labor any law
discriminating against labor outside Of
that commonwealth?

FEEDS A HUNGRY NElGHB0R.
How an Intelligent Horse Shared With Another
His Oats.

From the st. Louis Republic.
The horse is generally rated as one Of
the most intelligent of animals, and a
pretty incident that was witnessed by a
number of persons shows that generosi-
ty also enters into his character.
Two fine-looking horses attached to
single buggies were hitched at the curb
opposite the Chestnut street entrance to
the Merchants Exchange. They were
hitched several feet apart, but the hitch
ing straps allowed them sufficient liberty
of movement to get their heads together
if they so desired. The owner of one of
them had taken the oppo1 tunity of a pro-
longed stop to give the horse feed of
oats, which was placed on the edge of
the sidewalk in bag.
This horse was contentedly munching
his oats when his attention was at
tracted by the actions of the other horse
The other horse was evidently very hun
cry. He eyed the plentiful supply of
oats wistfully and neighed in an insinu-
ating manner. The horse with the feed
p'ricked up his ears politely and replied
with neigh, which must have been in
horse language an invitation to the other
fellow to help himself. Evidently he ac-
cepted it as such, for he moved along in
the direction of the bag IS far as his
hitching strap would permit. But the
strap was not long enough and his hun
CRY mouth fell about yard short Of the
bag.
The other horse noticed and seemed to
appreciate this difficulty. Fortunately
there was some leeway to his strap. Sc
q1e moved slowly along the curb, pushing
hores was able to reach it. Then, after
a friendly nose-rub of salutation, the
two horses contentedly finished the oats
together.

a Most Sensible Opinion.

From THE Montgomery Advertiser
Southern newspapers have, as a rule,
been run too much as public property
and not enough as business enterprises.
A newspapers space is its stock in
trade, and the public should be educated
into not expecting the proprietors ITO give
it away to everybody and everything
When the truth is more fully localized
and acted upon, there viii be more news
paper successes.
The public, in days gone by, has made
newspapers and newspaper men a sort Of
by-word for poverty, but newspapers are
learning to correct this impression The
public Is largely to blame for the exti-
mate it has too frequently formed by
outright beg ging all sorts of favoIns from
the publishing enterprises in their reach
and by getting their cheek rewarded.
People should he educated out of this
habit. AS fast as newspaper men teach
their neighbors that newspaper space
costs money and labor to produce and
has market value, just that fast will
the public respect the undertakings at
their doors as business enterprise
worthy of support Then the average
man will no moro think of boldly begging
for newspaper space for his individual
benefit than he would think of going into
a clothing store and displaying the cheek
to beg for hat coat, or into a gro
Gerry store and asking for a barrel OF
flour or a side of meat.
True enough, a newspaper must not
be run as a money-malling machine,
purely. That is calculated to exclude
conscience, lfberalfty and enterprise. But
it should not carry. the idea to an ex-
IRENE. It should be conducted so as to
yield sufficient income to enable it ito pay
dts legitimate expenses, to pay its work.
ers good wages and to leave some thing
fon profit to hts owners-in other words,
just hike any other proper business enter
