Ghost saves a Woman's Life.

The following story comes from the
house of the narrator's sister at Meerut,
northwestern India, says an exchange.
Two sisters are connected with families
of undoubted repute, both in India and
England. The narrator's sister was seat
ed at a table reading one evening, when,
happening to lift her eyes from her book
she was astonshed to see seated in a chair
before her. and between herself and the
door to the bathroom, man, stranger
to her who calmly regarded her. 1t was
too great a surprise for her to speak and
demand who was thus intruding unbtd-
den upon her privacy. and what was
wanted. She remained for moment In
that silent establishment.
Then it gradually dawned upon her that
the figure was probably not that of a per-
son of real flesh and blood, but visitor
from the unseen world. She remembered
having once, as a child, seen a similar
figure under circumstances which SEEM
ed to preclude the idea that it was any
person still in the body, and, in later
years, in revolving those circumstances,
she had remembered how the apparition
had after a little while faded away into
invisibility Concluding that this visitor
also was not a person of flesh and blood,
she sat silently gazing at the subject
while the intruder, whoever or whatever
he was, sat also IN SienCei StSdully Ie-
garding her How long this state of
things lasted the lady did not accurately
know, but it was probably not very long,
when the mysterious stranger began to
vanish into a thinner and thinner person
al presence, until in a moment or two
he had vanished.
She had been vaguely conscious mat in
a minute or so after she lad first seen
the strange visitor her two get dogs had
begun to bark furiously in another room.
It had been her invariable custom to take
a bath at this time in the evening, after
which she liberated the dogs As the ami
mails on this evening were making such
tremendous and unwonted ado she opened
the door of the adjoining room to see
what was exciting them. They at once
darted to the door of the bathroom. This
their mistress opened in time to see huge
cobra on the fioor-the snake whose bite
is certain death. The reptile raised its
head angrily, but, apparently, became
afraid of the dogs and wriggled through
a hole in the floor and escaped. But for
the appearance of the supernatural WIS.,
itor she would. undoubtedly, have gone
directly to her bath from the reading Ia
BILE, and would, with equal certainty, have
been bitten by the snake.

The Newspapers and Mckinley.


The Newspapers and Mckinley.
1t is a fact well worth noticing that
very few If any, newspapers are showing
hostility to either President Mckinley or
his administration. This attitude of the
newspapers to a new administration is so
unusual as to attract attention.
The reasons why the newspapers are
treating president Mckinley kindly are
that he is personally popular, and there
is very general willingness TO let him
and his party have every opportunity to
show the country whether or not their
remedies for curing the prevailing bust
ness depression are the correct ones SO
anxious is everybody that our railroads
shall show greater profits and our fac
tories shall all be running on full time and
the prices on farm products shall be high
er that there is very little disposition to
condemn the Presidents remedies for hard
times before they have been tried.
The President thinks that more revenue
"a revenue sufficient to meet all expend-
itures-will bring better times 1t Is GER
tainly important that the governments
income shall be equal to its expenditures,
but We do not see that preventing an an
nual deficit in the treasury will make the
prices of corn and cotton higher or will
provide a better market for the products
of our factories. Still, the President and
his party think differently, and as they
are the doctors they should have every
opportunity to give their remedies a fair
trial.
1t seems to US that the way to help
our producers is to open greater markets
for them. That cannot be done by means
of a high tariff The higher we make
our tariff the more limited our market
becomes. Last year, under a comparative
ly low tariff, the value of our exports
of manufactured goods greatly exceeded
that of our exports of any previous year
in the country's history. With high du-
ties on many articles needed in manu-
featuring we close the foreign markets
to our manufacturers.
The money question IS the one to. which
the President and his party should direct
attention. Settle that question in a way
that would insure a sound currency and
there would be new manifestations of en-
ergy in all kinds of business and indus
try,

The south and the Tarin NH.

When the republicans began framing the
| tariff bill they said the south would be
taken care of. But how is the south treat
ed? Can any fair-minded man say she
| is treated fairly? As matter Of fact she
is treated outrageously.
Yes, a reasonable duty is put on rice
but rice production interests only a small
fraction of the southern people. The duty
on sugar is increased, but it was not in
| creased in order to afford sugar Planters
more protection. It was increased to get
additional revenue, and it is about the only
thing that will yield much additional
revenue.
The south asked for duty on Egyptian
cotton in order to protect growers of sea
island cotton, and the ways and means
committee refused the request. And why
did the committee refuse it? Because a
few manufacturers at the north use Egyp-
tian cotton. The committee preferred to
favor a few manufacturers rather than
thousands of southern farmers.
But not only did IT refuse to give any
protection to the farmers who grow sea
island cotton, but it placed a heavy burden
on all farmers who raise cotton, whether
sea island or upland but chiefly upon those
who raise upland. 1t put protective duty
on cotton ties and bagging
The Wilson tariff released the cotton far
mers from the grasp of those grasping cor
porations. the manufacturers Of cotton ties
and bagging, but the ways and means COM
mittee has undertaken to make them again
pay tribute to those trusts.
We do not know whether or not congress
will approve this action of the ways and
means committee, but we should not be
surprised if it did. The cotton tie and
bagging manufacturers have got along
very well without any protective duty, and
they have held the market Why then
should the cotton farmers be taxed to in
crease their profits? The price of cotton
is low, and the cotton farmers cannot well
stand this additional tax with which the
republican party proposes to burden them.
In the tariff bill the north appears to be
dealt with generously, but the south is
dealt with as If the republican party had a
grudge against her

A Good Poliey Cor the Civ.


People who demand for land which the
city wants for streets, or which the coun-
ty wants for roads. an exhorbltant price
"a price out of all proportion to its ac-
tual value-are obstructionists, and ought
to be dealt with as such. 1t is said that
in New York the authorities have a way
of dealing with obstructionists of this
sort which either induces them to accept
a reasonable price for the land the pub
lie needs or leaves them with the feeling
that they have gained nothing by acting
upon the grab-game policy, The way they
are dealt with in that city is this: They
are assessed heavily for improvements.
The opening OF a street and the paving
thereof, and the putting down of water
pipes are estimated to add greatly TO the
value OF the adjacent land The land
owner, therefore, is not only charged for
the Improvements, but his land is assess
ed at even higher price than he demand
ed for 1t for public uses. In that way the
eXtortlonate price paid for land for street
and road purposes is more than offset by
what the obstructionist has to pay for I'M
provements and taxes public purse.
If this plan were tried here-tried with
judgment-there would be less effort TO
get from the city for land needed for
streets three or four times its actual
value

Not The Rirht Ends.

so earnestly desired by the country-suf-
icient revenue to run the government, en-
couragement TO American industries and
the opening OF abundant opportunities for
labor" Under the ordinary rules OF arith-

as three; and he has even got the ends
themselves wrong The two ends which
the country desires most Of all are an
end OF nrohigate expenditure and an end
of tariff-tnkering. which, no matter TO
what extreme it may be carried. cannot
furnish revenue enough TO run the gov

he preferred to work for his living on the

McKinIeyIsm.
From the Richmond Dispatch Dem.).

Upon the whole, It appears that the
proposed duties are not quite so high
as were those in the Mckinley bill, but
the system is the same. We observe that
a sop is given to certain agricul-
turists, but it is inconsequential. The
millions OF growers of cotton, wheat.
corn. and tobacco in the future, as in the
past will have to buy their supplies
in protected markets, while they must sell
their produce in markets where compe-
tition is free-where they must compete
with the products of such cheap-labor
countries as India, South America and
Egypt.
