GOT MAD.

The fact that when man loses his
temper he makes fool of himself was
amply illustrated in the New Era last
week. We believe that when Mr.. Dea-
con thinks over the matter, that he will
agree with us though this criticism may
seem harsh at this time. 1t was wrong,
because it is church matter and should
be settled by the people Of the church.
It was wrong, because in all the charges
made, if true, there was nothing criminal.
It was foolish because some of the charg.
es were absurd and contradictory on
their face, and more foolish than all, be-
cause it is bad policy, and tends to de-
feat the very thing the writer most de-
sires, to-wit; advantages to and for St.
Vincent,

Retaliatory legislation with reference
to our tariff is not being heard from, de
spite the dismal prediction of last June
and July. The only place where 1t is
suggested is in Argentine, and study oi
the commercial relations of that country
with the United States shows that there
is little probability that any action will
be taken which would disturb the busi
ness relations of the two countries ir
view of the fact that we buy more from
Argentine than she buys from us.

"While newspaper stories have been
somewhat exaggerated, it is an absolute
fact that the Western farmers financial
condition is wonderfully improved.
During tr past three years he practised
such economy that with slight improve
ment OF wheat prices last fall and fair
values of cate, sheep, and hogs, the
thrifty farmer gradually reduced his debts.
With good prices this fall, he is indeed
paying off the mortgage. The fall in the
interest rate is as remarkable as the other
features of the rising tide. From Am

ACCORDING to their long laid plans,
the PIONEER EXPRESS issues daily edi-
ton. This puts the county-seat paper in
the front rank as news-monger and
brings them within the LAWN line for

he IS bound to have-if he has to get up

Neal Dow, the father of the idea of
legal prohibition, died on Saturday. He
was over ninety years Of age. General
Dow was not only a leader in the tenn
perance movement but took a promi-
nent position in politicalaand social af.
fairs all his life and during the war was a
brave and useful soldier. Notmanymen
live to see social reform so radical Is

success both as legal proposition and
as a public sentiment during their own
lifetime.

FREE RAW MATERNAL.

E Iva w u4A4 GlStx6AAs
One special feature of the Wilson law
was its effort to bring in free of duty
what is usually termed "raw material" =
that is, materials in crude condition for
use in manufacturing. The July, 1897
importation of this particular class of arti-
cles was double that of July, 1896, while
in the seven months ending with July,
1897, the increase in free raw material
amounted to $50, ,Ooo, 900, or an increase
of over fifty per cent. for the entire seven
months of the calendar year 1897.
It will thus be seen that while every in.
terest was raised" by the importers IN
the last months of the Wilson law, the
farmer was the greatest sufferer. That
he is already feeling the benefit of the
Dingley law, however, is shown by the
general advance in prices. Nearly every
production Of the farm has increased in
value. while silver has been as steadily
falling in price. The latest farm product
to hear from is cotton seed and cotton
seed meal, which has advanced very
rapidly of late, southern newspapers re-
porting high prices and that every con-
signment is eagerly seized by buyers.
and wool which sold in September of
1896 at seventeen cents pound is SELL
ing in September of 1897 at twenty-seven
cents, an advance of about sixty per
cent; yet silver is falling twenty per
cent. or more meantime.

Chairman Jones' views and attitudes
in regard to recognition of silver by
state platforms are still uncertain. One
day he announces that he is opposed to
it; the next day he announces that he
has said nothing on the subject. The
late popocratic leader is evidently
ashamed of thh company he is keeping.
but apparently sees no way of breaking
loose from.it. There are others in the
same boat.

The American "Economist" says:
"The spreading of protectionist senti-
ment in the south, the impartial and
wholly national spirit which has deter
mined the provisions of the Dingley law.
and the wise and statesmanlike utter
ances of President Mckinley have gone
far to destroy the remnants of that sec
tionaiism which years ago threatened to
destroy the Union.

The Nebraska banks are complaining
that they have more money than they
can loan, and the farmers of that state
are paying off their debts with unexam-

home state rather uncomfortable place

his anxiety to break into Ohio and New
York. -

HAWAII AND POSTAL BANKS

HAWAI- AND POSTAL BANKS.
If the United States annexes the Ha-
waiian islands it will add to its posses
sions country that in one respect at
least is more civilized than itself. Ha-
waii has in successful operation a postal
savings bank system. There is on de-
post with the postal bank about 1900
600, which is a pretty good Showing for
a country Of 100000 population, mostly
illiterate natives and foreign laborers.
If annexation of the islands were to
carry with it ahe extension to this coun.
try of the postal savings bank system in
operation there, that would be a strong
argument for annexation. Chicago Re-

The Dingley law receipts for the month
of September exceed those of the second
month of the Wilson law, and the def
cit for the month is trifling. The second
month of the Wilson law developed a
deficit of over $l3, 600, 900, while the Sec
ond month of the Dingley law was only
about one-tenth of that sum.

Fire at Lumberton.

The general merchandise store of JOS
eph Frlsbie was reduced to ashes on Fri
day night. About 10.45 flames were dis
covered in the meat room and they were
burning furiously. People became alarm
ed for the safety of adjoining property,
and a young man was dispatched to
Mount Holly on his bicycle to ask assist
ance from the fire department here. This
request was complied with, and taps on
the various bells about eleven o'clock
brought the iremen out, and in short
time some apparatus was in readiness at
the station awaiting for special train
that had been ordered out. The Good
Intent steamer did not tarry for the
special, and large number of men and
boys hauled it over in the remarkably
short time of twenty-one minutes Water
was secured directly in front of the fire
and piled copiously upon the burning
ruins and the adjoining hotel, which had
taken fire twice. 1t was not long before
the building with most of it's contents
was consumed and all further danger
averted. A large number of Mount Holly
people walked over to Lumberton in the
rain, but most of them came back ON the
cars. The family was first awakened by
smoke. They got up, and grabbing their
clothes, beat hasty retreat to the street
When Mrs. Frisbie reached the step, she
was met by man who took hold of her
and said: "Get back in the house,-you,
where you belong" 81 can't, the house is
on fire." said the terrified woman. THAT
don't make any difference; get back there"
sternly ordered the fellow, who is thought
to have been a tramp. Mrs. Frisbie, be-
fore leaving her bed room, gathered up her
diamond earrings,a quantity of other jew
elry and $500 in money. Her mind is a
blank after her startling encounter with
this stranger and she can give no lucid &C.
count of events that transpired thereafter.
The furniture in the parlor, sitting room
and dining room was saved In somewhat
damaged condition. The house of Mrs.
Eayre, directly across the street, was
saved with much trouble. Her insurance
had expired the day before the fire.
Mr.. Frisbie received large quantity of
goods on Friday morning. He places his
loss at about $4,000, which is covered by
So, 400 insurance, $500 of which is held
by John R. Howell, in the Royal, and
$2500 in the Burlington County Insurance
Company of Medford.
During the fire there was an explosion
of ten pounds of gun powder and many
boxes of cartridges. The safe was taken
out of the ruins on Saturday morning
Many of the bolts had fallen out and
others could be withdrawn with the fin
gers. The books were tightly packed in
side and may be saved.
Almost everything was removed from
the hotel. Mr. Davis. says $500 will not
cover the loss which he has sustained.
A large quantity of liquor was stolen from
him and some of his furniture was injured.
