Engendsred Lack Of Harmony Among
Republicans.
NOT LIKELY TO HAS
TEN TARIFF BILL.
Democl attic Wing, However, Honeycombed
With Protection sentiment-Senator
McLaurin of south Carolina Favorable
to BiIl-Would Be Democratic Leaders
in tho House.
[sPEcIAL TO THE PREss.]

Washington, June 3.-The tariff situa-
tion at the present time is much different
from what it has been in the past in.
several respects. On the Republican side
in the Senate there is unquestionably
much personal feeling, amounting in
many cases to bitterness, which has been
engendered by the conflict over Cuba, and
by other matters. While no Republican
Senator intends on this account to let his
party suffer so far as the tariff bill goes,
yet the situation interferes somewhat
with the enthusiastic harmony which is
most desirable at the present juncture.
On the other hand the Democratic minori-
ty is honeycombed with protection senti-
ment. The case of South Carolina illus
trates this condition. That state is the
synonym for opposition to protection.
Since the days of Calhoun, when she
wanted to go out of the union on account
of the tariff, South Carolina has opposed
bitterly the principle of protection. Yet
the new Senator, Mr.. McLaurin, who has
just been promoted from service in the
House, is regarded as considerable of
protectionist. South Carolina raises a
great deal of rice, and the bill as it passed
the House was very satisfactory to the
rice planters. So it is probable that there
will not be much South Carolina infiu-
ence against bringing the bill to a vote
after reasonable period.
Mr.. McLaurin is very different man
from Tillman, who has been the leading
man from his state in that body. Nc
Laurin belongs to the old conservative
wing Of the Democracy of his state, which
was formerly represented by Wade Hamp-
ton. He will have fight for the election,
which comes soon with Tillman and his
followers By the South Carolina law the
Democratic party will hold primary
throughout the state to express their
choice for Senator. The candidates make
regular speaking campaign before the
people for these primaries, and after the
primary has spoken the Democratic mem
bers of the legislature are expected to
abide by the decision of the primary.

CRISIS A SERIOUS ONE.
Resignation Of Spanish Ministry
Means Much to That Country.

Senior Canovas Disappointed at Responses
In Cuba to His Proposed Reforms
Was Loath to Recall Weyler.
Madrid, June Sat a council of the
cabinet this evening Senor Canovas Del
Castillo said that the time had arrived to
ask the crown either to ratify the powers
of the ministry or to confide the govern
ment to other hands.
Senor Canovas is much disappointed at
the response which his advances in the
way of reforms and financial plans have
met in Cuba. He is also very loath to
recall Captain General Weyler, although
aware that Weyler's presence in the island
and his severe policy obstruct the rela-
tions of Spain with the United States
and with the majority of the Cubans.
Many of the Spanish newspapers pro-
nounce this the most serious nationalicrisis
since the restoration of the monarchy and
certainly since the regency commenced.

More Trouble May Come.

Athens, June although the armistice
has been signed in Epirus and Thessaly
a special clause stipulates that a meeting
of the Greek and Turkish delegates shall
be held today to settle the details of the
arnistice of the sea.
If there should be a failure to agree in
this matter the whole convention will be
void. The Turkish delegates
demand that all vessels under
the Turkish or any neutral flag shall be
freely admitted to Greek ports, thus prac-
tically raising the blockade.

The Resignation of Cauovas Excites Inter-

Washington, June 3.-The resignation
of the Canovas cabinet at Madrid excites
interest in o ficial quarters here owing
to it's possible effect upon the policy of
Spain toward Cuba and the attitude of
the United States toward the conflict.
Mr.. Dupuy De LONE will not discuss the
situation publicly, but those who are
near him say that he takes the change
philosophically and is not greatly sur
prised as recent events at Madrid have
indicated that q rupture was inevitable.

Valencia Outrage Under Investigation.

Washington, June 3.-Inquiry at the
State Department as to the firing on the
Ward line steamship Valencia by the
Spanish curiser Maria.. Mercedes at the en-
trance of the harbor of Guantanamo,
Cuba, is met by the statement that the
matter is under investigation. The
United States vice consul at Cienfuegos
protested against the conduct of the
Spanish officers on the cruiser, and the
Havana officials sent a naval officer to
Cienfuegos to make the investigation. "a :,
Canovas Surprised Them.
Madrid, June 3.-The retiring premier,
Senior Canovas del Castillo, is quoted as
saying that not even the members of the
cabinet knew of his intention to resign
until his resignation had been offered.
Senior Sagasta and the other Liberal
leaders will not make any statement,
pending the decision of the crown.
There is no doubt entertained, however,
that Senior Sagasta will undertake to
form a cabinet, if the Queen Regent en-
trusts him with the task.

Mrs. Householder Dead.

After q serious illness of three
weeks, Mrs. Nancy Jane Householder
passed away about $40 O'Clock yes
terday evening at her home on
North Water street. Heart disease
was the weapon the Grim Reaper
used to NOW down his victim, and her
life could not be saved despite the un-
tiring efforts OF skiIlful physicians
and loving relatives.
Miss Nancy King was born Feb. 8,
1882, and lived In CLARK county, Ohio,
with her parents until November,
1922, when she was united in mar
riage with Daniel Householder, to
whom she was ever faithful and de-
voted wife, In 1866 they removed to
Audrain county and about two years
ago to Mexico, where they have re-
sided ever since. Five children were
born to the union-Oharles, Harry,
Milton and Mrs. Laura Henderson, all
OF whom reside near Mexico, and
Edward, of Springfield, Ohio. Her
husband and all the children survive
her.
Mrs. Householder was well-known
in this city and was beloved by al
with whom she was ever associated
She was above all things . devoted
wife and loving mother-one OF thoss
noble women who believe in making
the home 80 pleasant that the family
have-no desire to 90 elsewhere.

From the st. Louis Post. Dispatch.


Waiter Williams, editor of the Co
lumbia (Mo.) Herald, is in the city.
He ia the man who concocted the
scheme to persuade the School Board
of this city to determine the proper
pronunciation of the word missouri. !"
Mr.. Williams is not here to present
the issue to an already overworked
School Board, but comes to deliver an
address before the Presbyterian
General Synod on "Presbyterianism
as a Factor in History" The synod is
now in session at the Grand Avenue
Presbyterian Church, and viii cele-
brate this week the 250th anniversary
of the adoption of Westminster Con-
fession of Faith.
The editor is thin, dapper little
man, much given to classical research.
Sitting and writing in the shadow of
the State University, he has naturally
absorbed fondness for accuracy in
all things.
ssThe action of the Columbia School
Board with reference to the name of
this state," said Mr.. Williams, twas
not contributary. 1t was determined
upon at the instigation of the teach
ers, who found themselves embar-
rassed by the variety of pronuncia-
ton.
"There are three we'll recognised
forms of pronouncing the states name.
The southern section, principally from
Virginia and Kentucky, use the form
sMizzourah.' The New Engianders
call it 'Missourie,' giving 1t a Kissing
sound, in which they are both indorsed
by both Webster and Worcester. The
new Century Dictionary is authority
for 'Mizzoury,' which the Columbia
board adopted as being correct.

cARLorrA, Ex-EMPREss OF MEXICO.
1t is rumored that Carlotta, the ex-
Empress of Mexico, is about to visit
the scenes of the efforts of her hus-
band, Maximillian, to establish a for
eign government in America. Car
lotta is the daughter of Leopold, King
of Belgium, and was born in 1s40. At
the age of II she was married to Maxi
millian, who was eight years her SEN
ior. Maximillian was brother of the
Emperor of Austria. Epress Eugenia,
of France, insisted that Maximillian
should be appointed Emperor of Mex

by birth and q citizen of this state for
twenty five or thirty years, says tMiz-
zoury' is the proper pronunciation,
following analogy.
The Indian derivation of the word
did not signify Big Muddy, as many
suppose, but meant Wooden Canoe.
The Osages, who gave the country its
title, used the sound of for s. They
said 'Mizzoury.' This was drifted
away from because of the southern
idiom that transformed it into 'Miz-
zourah.' Then came the New Eng
landers with their 'Missourie.' They
and all other ultra critical persons,
especially in your city of st. Louis,
adopted 1t, and quoted Webster and
Worcester in proof Of their accuracy.
I was so frequently criticised by them
that 1 gave the matter some attention.
"Prof. Allen says he had occasion to
examine the subject many years ago.
He had sweetheart whose mother,
having been born in the year of Mis-
souri's admission into the Union,
named her daughter Missouri, and
she was known by the nickname of
'Zoury.' The professor then learned
that If Webster and Worcester were
right, she should be called 'Soury,'
and he at once and forever impeached
the integrity of the dictionaries.
"Sitting near Mrs. Senator Vest last
night In the synod I heard her, say
'Mizzoury,' and big-voiced man
behind me a moment later said sMiz-
zourah.' Mrs. Vest was right. The
man was wrong. T
"Where Gov. Stone got his 'Miz-
zourie' cannot imagine. 1t is all
the more inexplicable because he uses
sah' for nearly all other examinations
in the old Virginia aud Kentucky
style. -.. ...a
Gan editorial in morning paper
here stated that the name had been
pronounced sMizzourer.' I think that
must be mistake. At least I never
heard anyone use that form.
"But, it seemed to me very proper
that the Columbia School Board should
pass upon the question, 30 that uni
formity might be secured in the
schools. This was why the Arkansas
Legislature passed resolution declar'
ing the name of that state to be
Arkansaw. The State of Kansas, In
the Indian dialect, Is Kanesaw, but
reduction Of the word to two syllablea
makes the full sound Of Kansas
unavoidable.

Missouri Sugar Beets,


According to the report of the chief
chemist OF the Department Of Agri-
culture at Washington, in some por-
tions of Missouri the beet root may be
grown at a profit if the yield per acre
shall prove sufficient. When tested
for percentage of sugar the Missouri
product of this years experiment was
generally satisfactory. A percentage
of ten is profitable and In many por-
tions of the state the samples showed
as high percentage as sixteen and
seventeen.
But few samples are reported, but
they are favorable, DeKalb showing q
percentage of 1917 and Holt 14.25.
There is little doubt but in this rich
soil of Missouri the yield per acre will
be great.

Reading an old editor of the Demo-
cratic faith, like Col. R. M. White, OF
the Mexico LEDGER, out of the party,
is one of the political impossibilities
attempted by the Bryan Club Of that
town recently. -,...
How silly such Calk sounds!
Read Col. White from his high seat
in the synagogue, because forsooth he
published communication for one of
his subscribers, charging that the
chairman of a political campaign COM
n,ittee was maligning railroad corpora
tions with one breath to the Populists,
and next he was riding on free passes?
The chairman held up the railroad
corporations to his hearers as the
most hideous of plutocrats and ac-
cepted passes because the walking
was not exceedingly good.
And read White from the party
won't let him publish a Democratic
paper again?
Won't permit him to hurrah for
any Democratic candidate hereafter?
Where shall Bob White vote after
this, il he is read out of the party?
By resolution of the Bryan Club of
Mexico make Republican out Of Bob
White? That is talk of boobies.
Can't the chairman call some
organization together and request
them to construct silk purse from a
premium sow's ear?
Col. White belongs to the 400 Of the
newspaper men of all the country
west of the Ohio river, and his posi-
ton as a conscientious journalist Is
recognized wherever his foot makes
it's mark In the land and the LEDGER
is read.
And the LEDGER will thrive and
advocate pure principles when its
enemies will be crying out, "What
shall do to be saved?" .rt.-..
