and common sense have bred race OF
heretios who no longer subscribe to the
old dogmas. The tariff is not now con-
sidered necessary to commercial saliva
tion. The American Screw Company
has, like it's contemporaries, suffered
from hard times the past year. Half a
decade ago it would probably have laid
the blame at the door of moderate
tariff. Now it sees thing differently.
1t is time for the Republican party to
adopt new issue. Tariff is played out,
aud the bosses of the party know 1t,
albeit they keep the knowledge under
lock and kew. We will guarantee that
within another ten years the issue will

Strange Find Made by Searchers For Hid

Strange Find Made by Searchers For Hid
den Treasure.
In Atchison county, Kan, strange
and perhaps valuable find has been made
as the result of long and patient search
for buried gold.
The first white settler in Atchison
county was Frcnchman named Pen
sinau, who married Kickapoo Indian
squay and took up claim on Stranger
creek in 1899. This claim has ever since
been known Us 1.-THE Indian farm"
Old Pensinau had the reputation of
being sharp trader, and tradition still
claims that when he died he was worth
many thousand dollars in gold and sill
yer. After he was dead and buried only
a few Mexican dollars We're found on
the premises. 1t was supposed that as
he accumulated money he buried it
somewhere ON the farm" Searching
parties have plowed and dug for it, but
in vain. A large part Of the farm has
been literally turned over. Until recent
ly, however, it never occurred to any of
these searching parties to make any ex-
plorations III the old Indian burying
ground on the farm.
When 1T was suggested to James
Saunders and party, they began to dig
into the old graves. They exhumed
some bones and obtained some trifiing
relics. On Thursday evening while at
work they made a discovery of petri-
fed human body. The petriication is
almost perfect in form - one thumb
alone is missing--and is evidently that

bly, 100 to 40 pounds. When placed ON

DEPARTMENT STORES.

The department store is coming in
for its share OF criticism now, and the
New York Senate may take a hand at
Investigating" it. 1t is charged that
the department store operates against
the interests of the small dealers, and
cuts off their sa'es SO heavily that the
latter cannot make living.
Granted this is true, we know OF no
statute, legal or moral, by which cor
poration can be assailed for carrying
on IN indiscriminate trade. A man has
just as much right to sell pianos and
horseshoes as he has to sell either the
one or the other II he ipiures the
dealer of small proportions, il is not
by boycotting him but by underselhng
him.
The department store idea is directly
opposite TO that of the trust. The latter
seeks to get monopoly of a product,
and by this means to make it's own
prices, regardless of the pocketbooks of
its pstrons. The department store seeks
to gain trade by selling at the very low
est figure.
The ANAL dealer, however, has little
to fear from the department stores. He
has his constituency, and people take
their groceries, shoes and dress goods
much as they take their newspaper
because they would feel uneasy il they
broke over tradition lines. The de-
partment store catches a good many
people who would not have purchased
had they not found bargain" And
then they go right oa to the old stand
and buy again.

THE DAY COMETH.

We might learn lesson from the
Prohibi;ionists, who, filed to the brim
with enthusiasm. nothing stronger,
have opened their gubernatprial cam
paign. These gentlemen have as little
hope OF electing their man Governor OF
Rhode Island as a Narrsgansett Indian
has of becoming President Of the
United States, yet they have beaten
out the other parties In the matter OF
Tnshing their steed up TO the wire.
Election Is 80 close at hand that no
wonder there is not some enthusiasm
over it, The Republicans smile the Sc
rene and happy smile OF much gold.
Are the Democrats going to lie calmly
down and le. money elect the next Gov
ernory A well-intellectualized push (if
We coin a phrase il what il wantod
hereabouts. Standing idly by will not
elect Democratic Governor IT didn't
put Republican Mayor out of office in
Pawtucket, nor did il put an honest
Democrat at the head Of this city and
or Providence. The Republicans have
been railroaded out of the mayoralities
OF several Rhode Island cities by hard,
aggressive work, and IL is Just that kind
ofargument that is needed to carry this
Ssate Tor the party in the Spring.

4 STRANDED PARTY.

There is food for reflection in the re-
cent statement Of the president and di.
rectors OF the American Screw Com.
pany that this concern, at least, has
gotten beyond the necessity OF a high
protective tariff. The remark was not
made for political effect. but was busi-
meas advice to the stockholders, and
shows about what the sentiment is
among the average American manufac-
turers.
The tariff chimcra has been worked
upon the public 90 long that il is re-
garded rs part OF our daily life where
ever the average manufacturer believed
that scale of taxes like the Mckinley
bill was really necessary 10 the success

AS the fast express for Boston ap-
preached Pawtucket last evening short
ly before 8 O'Clock il was obliged TO
stop on account of another train dis
charging passengers at the station. Ihe
train was made up almost entirely of
drawing room and buffet cars. A
young couple evidently on their first
journey together, stepped ont on the
platform of their coach to get q breath
of fresh air, and the Tourist caught
the following: Yes, dear, we.will soon
be in Boston. You are not tired, are
you? No, pet, would never tire with
you" Further conversation was lost
in the gentle rattle of the cinders on
the car roof, and the whistle of the air
brake as the train with its precious
burden continued it's way to Boston,
and the Tourist continued his lonely
way through the mud of Dexter street
and wondered if carrying coal or the
digestion OF 1.-The pies just like mother
made" would ever cause change in
the aspsct of the lovers horizon.
