knowing how fast the Marquis of Apez-
tegnia was progressing IN his efforts
toward the captain-general, wrote to
Weyler that it was necessary to speedily
send sensational news to counteract the

that the captain-general dares not pass
from one town to another of The province

United States District Judge HawIey
has granted Worden an appeal from his
order refusing to award a writ o habeas
corpus. The appeal goes to the Circuit
Court Of Appeals, now In session in
this City.
Circuit Judges Morrow and Gilbert
refused a writ of hsbeas corpus in the
Durrant case yesterday, and an appeal
from their order will be taken to the
United States Circuit Court of Appeals
to-day or tomorrow.
Attorneys for both the doomed men
hold that they have a right to take
these cases TO the Supreme Court of the
United States if they get no relief in
the Court of Appeals. They will do
this by writ OF certiorarI.
The fate of Worden rests with Attor-
ney General Fitzgerald and Warden
AulI. Judge HawIey yesterday refused
to grant an order staying execution, in
timating that the statutes themselves
probably operate as a stay. He referred
to section 566 or the United States Re
Yised Statutes.
Anumber Of eminent legal gentlemen
conyersant with Federal practice say
that 80 Attorney General will prob
ably advise Warden AuII to suspend
execution until the case IL decided in

that he has reversed the custom of the

September 29. 1882, a formal stay of exc

Section 766 provides that all proceed

Not a Sectional Tariff.

That the new tariff is not perfect its
authors admit. But it will produce
adequate revenue and protect u in
dustries under normal conditions.
Among it's chief glories-and one
which was acknowledged eve by
some Oh nose VINO did not favor it, and
who doubt that it will meet the ex-
pectatiOns of it's friends-is that it is
not a sectional bill. 1t protects the peo-
pie in all parts Of the country, and tc
the producers of materials which enter
into the manufacture it gives protec-
ton, AZ well as to the producers of the
finished product. 1t is a matter of re-
greet among leading protectionists in
congress that the conference commit
tee struck off the duty on raw cotton.
That duty would have been an import
ant entering wedge in the old free
trade sections of the south. and it
would ave proved most beneficial to
the southern people. But it should be
remembered by those southern men
who voted for and urged the adoption
OF the raw cotton duty, that the prin-
ciple of protection is not sectional, and
the southern mar who votes for pro-
lection on cotton or sugar, rice or lum-
ber-aiding to put such protective
duties into a tariff bill-and then votes
against the whole bill, thereby deny
ing to other industries in the north and
south the measure of protection which
he proposed for the products of the
south, is entitled to little considera-
ton at the hands of protectionists who
are honestly striving to give protection
to all the industries of the country.

Responsibilities been forced upon us.
For nearly two years prior to the en-
actment of the law of "perfidy and dis
honor" its baneful effects were felt.
Since the close of 1892, when it was
known that a Democratic congress and
a Democratic president had been cleo
ted, and that their threat of free-trade
would be put juto execution, the indus
trial enterprises Of the United States
have been paralyZed with fear. The
banks foresaw the impending danger to
American manufacturers through the
contemplated influx Of cheap foreign
goods and, %foreseeing the danger, the
banks promptly locked up their capital
SO that the evils'of the free-trade policy
were felt long before the free-trade
tariff law was placed upon our statutes.
And the evil did not end last week
with the substitution of the Dingley
tariff for protection in place of the law
of "perfidy and dishonor" of the Demo-
cratic party. Anticipating the most ma
tural idea of protection for American
interests, the foreign manufacturing
and producing interests have taken
every advantage of the miserable rag

the Democratic party, and have flooded
our markets with foreign goods that,
in some instances, cannot be consumed
within a twelvemonth. Thus the dead

Return of ProsneritY.

Like sunrise, prosperity cannot be
expected to reach all parts of the con-
tinent at once, though it's occurrence
in one quarter may be considered as
fair evidence that it will not be long
in reaching all.-Syracuse, N. Y,
Post, June 26, 1897.
The check to the immediate and uni
versal return of prosperity consists in
the enormous stocks of foreign goods
that are now in our markets, all of
which must be consumed before there
can be an active demand for American
goods made by American labor.

Quick Tariff Work.

The quick work done by congress on
the Dingley tariff Is hardly appre-
ciated as 1t should be. Congress was
called together in extraordinary ses-
sion on March Is. In fourth months
and nine days the bill had passed both
the United States senate and the house
of representatives, was acted upon in
conference, finally passed by the SEN
ate, and was signed by the President.
This covered a period of 131 days. In
1890 the Mckinley tariff bill, reported
on April 16, passed the house on May
Il, but was delayed in the senate till
September, and again still further de-
layed in conference, not being signed
by the President till October 1, 1890.
1t was in all 1853 days before congress.
When the Democratic party was in
control the Mills bill dragged along in
1888 and 1889 for nearly 300 days. and
then failed to pass. The Gorman-Wil-
son bill was reported to the house by
the ways and NEAR committee on De-
cember 19, 1893, and reported to the
stnate on February 20, 1894. 1t did
not become law till August %, 1894.
and was then such a "ragbag produc-
ton" of "perfidy and d%ishonor," that
even the Democratic President refused
to sign it.
The difference between the Repub-
leans and Democrats in enacting tariff
legislation in congress is very marked.
Tho Ronrhljcapc Daccod tho Mckinley
bill in 1913 days, and the DingleJ bill
in 131 days, each bill receiving the sig
nature of the Republican President.
The Democrats. on the other hand,
wasted some 800 days over the Mills
bill, which never became a law, and
they wasted AoZ days over the German
Wilson bill, which proved to be such
an abortion that even President Cleve-
land refused to sign it.

Raising Chickens by the incubator.

man to another. as they met on the
public highway one afternoon. Il
suppose you know about his incubator
experience. He invested in n that
held about six hundred eggs, filled the
trays with what he confidently hoped
would prove to be broilers and roasters
of the most delicious description. At
ter watching the n trm lEleter with thu
utmost care for five or six days, he got
a little tired of it, as he seems to tire
of everything. and, %consoling himself
with the reflection that the incubator
would probably get along all right, he
went out driving and stayed away for
several hours. When he returned the
heat had run UP to a cooking point,
end most of the poor little possibilities
were beautifully cooked and done.
And the most astonishing part of the
entire performance was that he treat
ed the accident more like a huge joke
than anything else. Three times last
spring he filled that incubator, and
each time the heat ran up until al
most all Of the eggs were spoiled. Out
of eighteen hundred eggs there were
less than one hundred chickens that
grew to broiler age. 1t is just such
management as this that gives so
many small industries a bad reputa-
ton. To succeed requires vigilance
and care"

But it has not done so. 1t has re-

A Wool Growers Loss.

l wish to state the actual facts of
what free wool did for me, and if is
fair to assume that it did the same
for every farmer in Oregon who raised
sheep.
In April, 1897, l arranged with DR..
Elgen, living in this state and county
who is agent for the great American
tailoring house of new York city. for
two wooden suits for two boys thirteen
years old, each suit costing me Sc. so
cash in advance, which was the price
OF fifty-nine pounds of wool at II
cents per pound. This was the price
l received for my wool in 1896.
In June, 1890, l bought a suit of
wooden clothes for a boy thirteen years
Of age, paying $3.50 in cash for the
suit in Rosebury, Douglass county.
This cost me the price of only twenty
six pounds Of wool, for l got 25 cents
per pound for my wool in 1890. There
was a difference Of thlrty-three pounds
Of Y 1at to me in the cost of one suit of
boys clones.
That is what free wool did for me,
and for every farmer that raises wool
on this coast. And furthermore the
suit l bought in 1890 was at least ten
Per cent better goods in all respects
in material and in the make. Now
somebody got this SO pounds of wool. I
know that l did not.

and in 1896 there was some slight i'm
provement, yet the volume of business
transacted in New York last year, I'M
der free-trade. was almost eight billions
less than in 1892 under protection.
But study the effect of our Demo-
cratic fiscal policy upon the London
market, upon British trade and upon
English enterprise. With practically
no change in 1892 and 1893, followed by
a decline in 1894 when our business was
paralyzed and millions of our people
were idle, the business of London grew
to nearly thirty-seven billions of dol
lars in 1895 and in 1896, its volume
then equaling the extent of our business
in 1892 when we had protection. In
other words, there was a complete
transfer of prosperity from the United
States to the United Kingdom under
the Democratic policy of free-trade.
