CHAs. F. HENDRIX, Prop'r,
Subscription $l.5O a Year.

EVIDENTLY Sank Centre has either
outgrown that period in her existence
when she thinks she needs band, or
else she has not yet reached it. 1t is a
fact beyond dispute that this city has,
and for years has had, band which
for personnel of it's members and for
quality of its execution, can not be
duplicated in any town OF double our
population. Nearly every village and
smaller city in the state makes aliberal
appropriation for it's band, and very
justly SO. This city should do the
same. thing. And, furthermore our
citizens should be not only willing, but
desirous of encouraging the band by
patronizing their entertainments with
iberality. A recent concert barely
realized expenses, and the dance on
Monday evening resulted i'm loss.
While these facts al e discouraging, yet
the band is not wholly discouraged,
and will once more appeal to our
people through a good concert-and
our band concerts are always good.
It is little melancholy reflection for
the band boys, who do not receive one
cent for their services, but on the con-
trary pay monthly dues to keep the
organization alive, that concerts,
theaters, minstrel shows-anything
that offers alleged amusement-parad-
ing they stroll into the city from the
unknown, usually go away fairly fat
tened-while band concert, offering
more for the price of admission, fails
of profitable audience. You, dear
reader, know very we'll this is neither
right. nor wise. Show substantial ap-
probation at the next opportunity by
abundant patronage.

While the people of the State of
New York have forbidden the en-
ployment of convicts in her prisons in
the manufacture of articles which go
upon the market in competition with
free labor, this same state of New
York is every day buying the pro-
ducts of the prison labor not only OF
European countries, but of all the
states of the Union.

A BILL which ought to be labeled an
act to force the railroads of the state
into bankruptcy, has been offered in
the legislature. 1t proposes a horizon
tai cut of tariff rates twenty per cent. -
which, of course, means either a cut
of net receipts that amount, or a re-
duction of wages sufficient to recoup
the company for this loss of revenue.
When it is considered that about sixty
five cents of every dollar received by
the railroad companies in this state
must be paid for actual operating ex-
penses, and the great bulk of that di-
rectly to employees. it will be seen that
reduction in receipts of the amount
proposed leaves very little to be APP
piled to interest on bonds, rentals and
other fixed charges, to say nothing OF
dividends on stock. Betterments and
improvements, which inure to the
safety and comfort of passengers, and
to cheapening freight rates under the
MEMORABLE laws of business, would be
wholly out of the question. 1t is very
unpopular, the HERALD very we'll
knows, to say one word against any
proposition which is aimed at the rail
roads, and a proposition to decrease
the gross receipts eighty per cent.
would meet with favor almost as gener-
al as that to reduce them TWENTY The
state Legislature cannot afford to be
influenced by popular clamor to per-
petrate an injustice even though the
railroads be the victims.

The notion that King Oscar, of Swe-
den and Norway, would be unduly
prejudiced in favor of England and
against the United States in arbitra-
ton proceedings is altogether a de-
fusion, says the Review of Reviews
for March: "He is a man eminently
Of the judicial temperament. Moreover
the Scandinavian peninsula is in the
strongest sort of sympathy with the
people of the United States. King
Oscar is himself a ruler of democratic
spirit, and the Swedes and Norwegians
are self-governing peoples. Ii there
should ever be a war between the
United States and England, many
thousands of the sons of Sweden and
Norway, who are now citizens in this
country, would take part in the same.
A very large share of the best blood
been transferred to our Northwestern
States. Owing to this fact, the Scan
dinavians maintain a more intimate
relationship with the people of the
United States than with any European
nation just as the relationship of the
people of Ireland, for the same reason
is more intimate and cordial with
America than with England. Further
more. Russia is in international mat
tiers the constant friend of the United
States; and it is very much more i'm
portant for King Oscar to maintain
harmonious relations with his power
| full neighbor on the east than with
England. It is, therefore, totally fall
lacious to suppose that Oscar, even if
not naturally disposed to be fair
minded, would be biased in favor of
England, and secretly anxious to fur
Their British interests as against those
of the United States. 1t seems to us
nothing could have been better evil
dence of highlands perfect frankness,
and good faith in signing this arbi-
tration treaty than her consent to
have King Oscar named as the umpire
under specified contingencies.

TILLNIAN CALLS

Senator Tillman made a call on
President Mckinley on the 25th
ult., and they chatted worry pleas
antly for ten minutes. The fol-
lowing is the substance Of what
occurred:
"Tho president inquired how the
senator liked his work and whether
they we're quiet enough for him;
also desiring to know If the prol g
Of tho p,tchfork were sharpcncd.
Then the president mentioned the
extra session Of congress and OK
pressed the opinion that the pas
sage Of tariff bill would ito much
to brighten things Up in tho coun

"Well, wo will SEQ what it will
do.' said tho South tarnlinian
"l know that tho patient is yer,
sick. We will try your physic an'
if that does not euro him then WI
will have to try ours, which thinl
is the only thing which will cur,
him"
1t is needless to say that the
senator's remedy is free slIvor and
tho president fully understood
hlm.
The two men parted with mu-
tual pleasant words.
