MR.. WATSON'S HUMOR.

The McDuffe Man Makes Some Character
istic Remarks to New York Editor.
1t appears that Mr.. Hearst's New
York Journal has made recent attack
on the middle of-the-road leader, Mr..
Watson, and with the Georgian's char
acteristic pluck he goes back at the rich
publisher. In the course of his fusilade
Mr.. Watson INDUCES in the following
bit of humor:
"Mr. Hearst should not be so intoler-
ant and harsh. He ought to remember
that we helped to pay the funeral expens-
es of his father, and he ought, therefore,
to feel more kindly toward us. AS one
of the citizens and tax payers of this
great and good government we paid our
small mite toward the funeral expenses
of Senator Hearst Of California, the nil
lionaire father of the millionaire son
who is now abusing us. 1t cost us tax
payers upwards of twenty-One thousand
dollars to bury William r. Hearst's faith
err, and while the said William r. seems
to have money to burn in various direc-
tions he has never thought it worth while
to refund to the oppressed taxpayers
(whose woes he grieves over in his paper
the money which they paid for his faith
er's burial.n

The HORRORS OF KLONDIKE.
A MINER RELATES SOME OF THE
DRAWBACKS.
A Story Of Starvation Seldom,
if Ever, Equaled i'm Modern
Novels.

Frank Moss, an old time miner who
four years ago was one Of a party of
Americans to first visit the Klondike
country, has returned to Great Falls,
Mont, and tells story of horrors and
starvation seldom equaled even in mod
ern novels.
He describes the Klondike as a plac-
err camp, seven miles long and thirteen
miles wide, located in sink, walled in
by boulders of rock 5000 feet high.
Cod, he says, abOunds, but no ordinary
man can stand the hardships Of the
unciVilized region. When Moss left
Great Falls four years ago he was
sturdy fellow over six feet tall. From
hardships and privations he is a Grip
pie for lie and badly broken IN health.
SAW 1000 GRAVES IN KLONDIKE.
In three years he saw 1000 graves
made IN kl0ndike basin, large major
itY dying from starvation. The
steamship companies bring in all food
and ALLOW no private Importation.
Consequently it is not uncommon to
go for days entirely without food, The
gold brought in last week to Seattle,
Moss says, does not represent the find
ings Of individual shippers, but large
proportion was confiscated from the
effects Of those 1900 miners who fell
a prey to the hardships. At the death
of the man possessed of dust his body
was buried without coffin and the
dust divided among those who cared
for him. With proper relief establish
ed by the government, Moss says, gold
can be taken out at the rate of of So
600 900 a month.

VICIOUS AND UNFAIR.
Even Republicans Thus Characterize tho
New Tariff Law.

The nineteenth important tariff is a
law-the fourth in seven years and yet
such an aggregation of robbery and mo-
nOpOly must be undone. Said Governor
Pingree, of Michigan, republican, who
ran alongside Mr.. Mckinley II don't
recall that the Dingley bill imposes any
additional duties on paintings or dia5
monds. 1t is the necessary mmoditits
shoes, sugar and the like-that are to
bear the increased taxes. predict
reckoning for the promoters Of the bill
with the people"
Senator Teller, lifelong protection
list, and therefore never democrat, de-
nounced the bill in the senate on the day
before It's passage as one ''full Of absurd
tiles and inequalities if not of crime"
He declared it to be vicious, unfair, ex~
trayagant and unsatisfactory measure
connected in the interest of trusts and
syndicates."
Such expressions leave no room for
denunciaton on the part of the demo-
Gratis; but they make clear the duty at
rests upon every honest man to do moth
ing by speech, act or vote that will pre-
vent or defeat the repeal at the earliest
possible day of the bill that outdoes any
tariff Of the war period, that out-McKln-
leys Mckinley, that puts an unnecessary
burden upon every home in the land.
The country needs rest, but real rest un-
der robber bill is impossible. The b. t.
tie for just taxation and the overtime
of Hannaism should begin at once, and
thr ugh thick and thin and through dis
couragement il should be prosecuted to
the end.

To Look After FiIibusters.
NO RIGHT TO SUCH RATES.
Decision Against the New England
Road Receivers.

The interstate commerce commission to-
day. in an opinion by Commissioner Knapp,
announced its decision in the case of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford Rail-
road Company agt. Thomas c. Plat and
Marsden J. Perry, receivers of the New
York and New England Railroad Company.
The question involved in this proceeding
is the right of one carrier to issue a So
called joint tariff of rates between it and
its connecting carriers without the consent
or concurrence of said carriers.
Defendant published a schedule purport-
ing to be a joint tariff of rates on coal
from a point on its road to number of
destinations reached by the complainant
railroad company, whereby the complain
ant company received its full local charges
to said destinations from junction points
with defendants road, and the defendant
accepted the remainder, which was in each
Instance less than its established local rate
from the place of shipment to the point of
connection. Complainant, which also car
ried coal to the same destinations by a
longer route over its own rails. thereby
securing greater compensation than was
afforded from coal coming tc it by defend
ants road, refused to unite in the rates
named by defendant in said so-called Joint
tariff. and protested against the use of
authorized and unlawful for want of mu-
tcal consent.
1t was held that the complaint should be
sustained and the defendant company be re-
CURED to cease and desist from publishing
or applying through rates to points on COM
plafnants lines which are less than the
sums OF their respective local charges.

Negroes I'm the Trades.


Negroes in the south are rapidly filing
the trades. AS carpenters, brioklayers,
plasterers, blaoksniths and wheelwrighis
they are growing more and more nume--
Gus, and making ii difficult for white men
to prosper in these fields of labor. a
glance at the hite schools ard the negro
schools of the south will show that the n
gro schools are teaching their pupils more
of the practical reeds of life. and fitting
them to earn a livelihood better than the
white schools are. For every white technc-
logical school the negroes have half
dozen with chronological and industrial
features. Every year young men are be-
ing turned out of the negro schools IN
the south who have been taught carpen-
Try, shoemaking, printing. the general use
of tools and scientific farming, in addition
to the usual academic courses, and young
women who are taught cooking, washing,
sewing. dressmaking, nursing and house
keeping. When young negro man or wo-
man leaves any one of more than dozen
schools in the south he or she is equipped
for earning a livelihood and for advancing
the standard of the race. Our people need
arousing to the importance of archaeological
and Industrial education. We want edu-
Gated hands as well as educated heads.
