A RATIONAL VIEW.

The Jacksonville Citizen is one of
the best papers IN the south, and we
are glad to see that in commenting on
the attitude of certain of the southern
members of congress upon the tariff
question, it has taken much the same
view of the matter as that entertained
by THE TINES. In It's issue of the
26tb, in referring to the Augusta Her
AIDS belief that "the principles of
protection are rapidly making head
way in the SOUTH" the Citizen says:
We confess that we cannot see this
matter with the eyes of our contempt
rary. The south has in the past ut
tered its protest against the doctrines
of prOtection-It voted against Nc
Kinley, but the nation wished TO try
iC again, and we cannot reverse the
court till an appeal is tried, four years
hence.
For two years protection is the pol
icy of the nation, not OF the Republic
can party, so far as those congressman
are concerned. Doubtless they still
believe In the principle for which Lee

FOR STARTING THE FIRE.
The Use to Which the Fisherman Puts His
Discarded Nets.

The Use TO Which the Fisherman Puts His
Discarded Nets.
In the majority of households an old
newspaper is the material most COM
monty used to start a fire, and the adj
justment of this material is a matter Of /
considerable art. There should be enough
of it to make flame sufficient to ignite
the wood laid upon it, and it should be
put in with just the right degree of
looseness SO that the air will circulate
through it and make it burn freely and
to the best advantage. But there are
houses in which paper is never used for
this purpose-the homes of fishermen.
Here, year in and year out, day after
day, the fire is started with chunk of
discarded tarred netting, and there is
nothing like it.
When Il net gets tender, so that it is
likely to burst when body of kelp-or
seaweed floats against it in a tide way,
or to break with big catch of fish, it
is condemned. 1t may be whole and
l>ok all right but it doesn't pay to take
any risks with it. Some fishermen using
a considerable number of nets may have
half ton of such netting in year
They use it to start fires, and give away
some of it. Formerly they sold it for
junk, and they do so now occasionally,
though not SO much as they did. Ii
brings a cent pound
This netting has been tarred again
and again with fine, thin tar and it is
thoroughly saturated. The net may be
feet deep. A length of it is rolled up,
and the roll is then hattened down. The
| fattened roll may be inches wide, and
it is cut Off with an AK into chunks of
perhaps foot in length, just enough to
lie nicely ON the CRATE of a kitchen
range. 1t is thoroughly dried before it
is used. 1t all ignites quickly, and
burns fercely and uniformly, with a
blush flame and rather pleasant odOr.
A properly laid fire with section of
old tarred netting to start it never goes
out Whoever attends to the kitchen
| fire in the fisherman's house prepares it,
| if possible, the night before and pulls
strand from the tarred netting out
through the bars of the CRATE i'll front.
TO start the fire i'll the morning all that
is necessary is to touch a lighted match
to the end of that tarred rope yarn.
| Some of this tarred netting has been
sold to start tie fire III locomotives.
Such a thing is not unheard of as the
use Of cotton waste and oil for this ppr-
pose, but q sheet of Old tarred netting
laid over the CRATE bars beats the cotton
waste out of sight. Still, locomotives
have multiplied and tarred netting cuts
no figure as means Of starting the fire
in them. 1t is perhaps now used for
that purpose, if at all, only on roads
running through or near fishing dis
tricts. And, as said, it is now rarely
sold. The fisherman uses it to start his
own fire, and the man who has more
than he wants gives to his neighbor.

In another outburst of belated gen.
erosity yesterday afternoon, the Even
ing Advertiser remarks:
1.-THE only way for a newspaper to
do effective work is to set an example.
Let the taxes be reduced. And above
all let the cost be cut down where it is
possible"
Very we'll. Let the Advertiser set
The example. AS THE TIMES urged
yesterday morning, the taxpayers
whose property is now being adver-
tised in that paper would not object tC
a cut-down of costs.

H'hc EOwery.

A petition signed by a number of
property owners and storekeepers on
the Bowery has been sent to the New
York board of aldermen, asking to have
the name of the Bowery changed. The
petition states that ever since the song,
"The Bovery, the Bowcry," became
popular people from all over the coun-
try know Of it as a wicked place and
avoid it.
Visitors do not know it as a business
thoroughfare, only as a place to be
avoided. and they do avoid it. It is pro-

and made large fortune. He is now
retired, but is vice president of a bank

MRS. SHERMAN,

they lived in modest little brick house
on Z street, but now they have fine
new mansion of marble in the same To-
cality. Their new residence is admit
rably adapted to social uses, for Mrs.
Sherman has always insisted ON a care
full observance Of all the conventions of
capital society and is noted as good
entertainer. She is tall, stately wom-
an and combines dignifed reserve of
manner with cordial affability in a
pleasing way.

try, but she is a proud, willful and spir-
tied woman, and it was impossible for
her to submit tamely to the humilia-
tions which the French resident general
heaped upon her daily. So she gave her
consent to the revival of plots against
the conquerors and not even the execu-
ton of her uncle for treason could ex-
tinguish her hope Of a successful revolt.
She is now too far away from the
Hovas to infame their 1ery patriotism,
for the French have stLt her to the is
land of Reunion, a little spot Of volcanic
origin out in the Indian ocean, over 400
miles east of Madagascar. There this
unfortunate and romantic young queen
will be kept prisoner Of state and may
never again see the shores of her native
island, where for IS years she was a
xuler.

Another pathetic figure has been added
to the world's collection of exiled queens
by the expulsion Of Queen Ranavalona

a peaceful submission she would have
been allowed to stay in her native coun-

SUNDAY THOUGHTS.

tFrom Canon Farrar's Year Book
Thou shalt not kill,-Exodus xviii.
Christ warned US that the sixth
commandments touches many mighty
respectable person, who hardly thinks
that a murderer is of the same flesh
and blood as himself. 81 say unto
you that whatsoever is angry with his
brother is in danger of the judge
ment." Into what an abyss of crime
has base anger hurried many a mis-
cradle man! How often has life
been poisoned by one angry letter,
and the welded calm and golden peace
of homes shattered by one hasty word
But there may be murderers in other
ways-to put stumbling blocks in the
way of innocence; to tempt the weak
into the paths of vice; to destroy the
souls for whom Christ died-these are
the deadliest sins which man can COM
nit. Again, all selfish, all oppressive
trade, is murder, in Gods sight--all
who, loving gold more than God, have
any share in thus destroying the lives
and souls of their brethren, shall stand
at the last day as murderers before the
awful eyes of Him who sees the things
that are and sees them as they are
There is even sort of murder in calm
Indifference and callOusness to misery.
Alb, my brethren, is not this command
ment "exceeding broad?" But in keep
ing of it there is great reward. We
cannot obey even this one claw in its
fullnes without gaining Christ's peace
in cur hearts. May Almighty God
give US grace to read our lives by the
light of 1t!
~
[From Bishop Phillips Brooks Year Book.l
For a few weeks let the obtrusive
worldllness which blocks the door OF
our hearts stand back; and let the way
be clear that He who longs to enter in
and help us may come and meet no OBJ
stacle. This is our Lenten task. eli
any man Will hear My voice and open
unto Me, l will come in and sup with
him." says Jesus. TO still the CHATTER
and tumult little, so that we may
hear His voice, and to open the door
by prayer, that is the privilege and
duty of these Lenten weeks.
IT'S true we cannot reach Christ's fortieth day:
Yet to go part of that religious way
Is better than to rest;
We cannot reach our savour's purity;
Yet are we bid, "Be holy, cen as He"
In both let's do our best.
Who goeth in the wa7 that Christ hath gone
Is much more sure to meet with storm than one
That travelleth by-ways.
Perhaps my God, though He be far before,
May turn and take me by the hand, and more,
May strengthen my decays.
Yet, Lord, instruct us to improve our fast
By starving sin and taking such repast
AS may our faults control;
That every man may revel at his door,
Not in his parlour; banqueting the poor,
And among those his soul.

A VARIETY FOR SUNDAY.
To Church in LeL t.

She goes to church in Lent;
Iwatch her as she goes;
Her brow is like the lily bent
Above the Redeemed rose:
Her hair is like the silken skein
That rings the rIpened corn;
Her eyes are like the liquid plain
That mirrors back the morn.
She goes to church at mora;
And prayers she never knows,
Go with her as the thorn
Goes with the tender rose;
And as she passes, petals,
Pure as the roses shed,
Blow where the sunlight settles
Its halo round l.er head.

MOB HANGS MOSES
Aud Then Whips a Preacher for
Swearing to an AIibi

Crystal Springs, Miss, June 25.-The
negro, John Moses, who murdered an
old man named Strong near this place
a few days ago and who had been con-
fined in the local Jail with strong
guard since yesterday, confessed to the
killing this morning and shortly after
the guards were overpowered by a mob
of two or three hundred men, mostly
farmers. Moses was taken from the
Jail and with a rope around his neck
was dragged through the streets to a
tree near the railroad and hanged. He
was dead or nearly SO when they reach
ed the place of the hanging.
Two requests for troops to protect the
prisoner had been wired to jackson,
but owing to the absence of both the
governor and lieutenant governor from
the capital the troops could not be
moved until this morning when it was
too late.
After hanging Moses to the tree, some
OF the mob made a move to shoot him.
The leader declared it should not be
done, as justice had triumphed and that
that was all they wanted The mob
then started on search for a negro
preacher who had sworn that the muir
derer had spent the day which
Strong was killed at his house and knew
he (AdOses) was not guilty. He i5Wore
to. a deliberate lie and the mob caught
him and gave him an unmerciful whip
ping for false swearing.
