The Petersburg, Va, Index-Appeal is a good democratic newspaper but it has an extreme way of pushing its high tariff views. ,5-..-.
 In a recent issue that paper says:
 Evidences are multiplying in support of the prediction made by the Index Appeal recently, that the person is now living who would see the democratic par ty of the south protection party.
 The condition which made free trade the interest of the south prior to the war no longer exists. It passed away with slavery and with the beginning of the marvellous development and agricul- tural growth of the west and north west. Under existing conditions of labor and competition the old plantation sys- tenn of the past is no longer practica ble in the south, and to cling to its tradi- tions, its sentiments and it's prejudices is to tie the living present to the decay ing corpse of a dead past. We can no longer profitably be an agricultural peo- pie exclusively. In addition to our fields we must look to our mines, to our for ests, and, above all. to our workshops, for prosperity and wealth. We have all the natural advantages of mines and forests, virgin, and untouched and al- most unknown, and we have the muscle, the brain and the inventive genius need ed In the workshop. We only lack a proper reallZaplOn or the cnanSed con ditions of our affairs, and the wisdom to foster our natural advantages by nec- essary legislative action.
 The democratic party, ever alert to follow the trend of popular feeling, will not be long in di . vering the signifi- canoe of the many evidences of revolt against free trade among all classes of people in the south. When they hear lifelong democrats say that if repub- licanism and protection mean prosperity. and democracy and free trade mean publcanism and protection, it is safe to predict that the democratic leaders will not be long in abandoning the sinking free trade craft. The south can afford to be democratic onlg on the condition of protection and prosperity.
 There are few people who claim that republicanism and protection mean pros- perity. Under the Dingley bill the great

A Woman's Strong Words.

Mrs. Dr.. Felton, the wife of ex-Con- gressman Felton. of Georgia, is strong minded woman. For many years she has been apower.in politics. and she con- tinues to use her tongue and pen in sea- son and out of ssason. The other day when the Georgia farmers held meet ing at Tybee, ostensibly to discuss agri- culture. but in reality to put out a gub- equatorial candidate, she appeared b@- fore the convention and in the course of her speech she defended lynching in the following emphatic worlds
 "When there is not enough religion in the pulpit to organize crusade against sin; nor justice in ths court house to promptly punish crime, nor manhood enough in the nation to put a sheltering arm about innocence and virtue-if it needs 1ynching to protect womanS dearest possession from the ravenng human bsaSts-then l say lynch; thous- and times week if necessary.
 The poor girl would choose any death in preference to such ignominy and out rage and a quick death is mercy to the rapist compared with th4 suffering of in- nocence and rnodesty in land of Bibles and churches. where violence is becom- ing omnipotent except with the rich and powerful of the law.
 ''The crying need of women on the farms is security in their lives, in their homes Strong, able-bodied men have told me that they stopped farming and moved to town because their women folks were scared to death if left alone
 q say it is disgrace in free country when such things are public repreach and the best part of Gods creation are trembling and crying for protection in thpir w homes And T with dlla respect to all who listen to me, that so long as your politics take the colored man into your embraces on election day to control hi3 vote; and so long as the poli- ticians use liquor to befuddle his under standing and make him think he is man and a brothsr; when they propose to defeat the opposition by honey-snug gling him at the polls, and so long as he is made familiar with their dirty tricks in politics, so long will lynchings pre- vail because the causes of 1t grow and increase"
 This is strong uanguage from a wo- man, but it will probably be endorsed by millions of womsn in the south, as well as by their fathers husbands, sons and brothers. Whether right or wrong, it must be admitted that the great ma jority of the people justify lynching as the punishment for one nameless out rage-the crime of crimes.
 The pulpit, press, bench and all the other leaders and rulers of the people may thunder aginst the evils of lynching every day in the year, but when black brute assaults a white woman there are few communities south or north, in 1,f al, I fe 20 laN -of1 F1t. months and years until the final action of the law.
 This is simply stating fact. When such women as Mrs. Felton justify lynch ing the people may rest assured that public opinion will shield the lynchers. Judge Lynch will never quit business until the negroes cease committing the crimes which always calls him to the front.

Reflections of a Bachelor

From the New York Press.
 No man ever gets the reputation of be-, ing a fool until after he Is married.
 A girl always reserves her opinion of a mans looks till she knows whether he has a wife.
 No man has any idea of the possibilities in woman till he has watched her eat pickles.
 A woman never writes an unaffected let ter to a man till she has got over being in love with him.
 When a woman tells man she cares for him she always tries to make him think he made her do it.
 When a girl thinks she has a man just where she wants him she tries to get a catch in her voice. las

Length of Legs
Boston Herald.

One of the current magazines has an elaborate treatise on genius and stature, in the course of which it is sought to show that men of genius are not, as rule, of commanding stature. The effort to con- meet the two is a somewhat labored one, however Some one once asked MT. Lin- coin how long a mans legs ought to be. He said: "That is a very serious question, and I have given much thought to it a great many times. Some should be longer and some shorter: but I want to tell you that a mans legs ought always to be long enough to reach from his body to the ground" When this condition is satisfied genius ought to develop itself without fur ther physical conditions. at. ,.f

Peanuts for Profit

From the San Francisco Examiner.
 e The first peanut factory in the United States will be established In Norfolk, Va, at an early date. The oil is highly valued in Europe, as 1t is stated that fully $5,o00o00 worth of peanuts are brought into Mar seilles annually for the manufacture of oil, which is used in toilet soaps and for other purposes. The peanut flour is quite extensively used in Europe and made into bread, cakes, biscuit, etc. It Is one of the favorite articles of food according to con- sular reports, in hospitals in Germany. The capital stock of the peanut company is $60, 000 and it Is operating under the patents of MT. Weatherly, which cover the ma chinery and methods of decorticating the kernel of the inner skin. According to the estimates made says the Atlanta Constitu- tion, the cost of a plant for treating five tons of peanuts daily is as follows: Ma chinery 5000; building, s6,000; while the
 expenditure, including labor, insurance and taxes, amount to $SS7 per day. In a prospectus isued by the company it is cal- culated that the receipts from five tons of peanuts will amount to 235 gallons of refined oil at $1 per gallon, 175 gallons of crude oil at 50 cents per gallon, 3.6s0 pounds of flour and meal at cents and 36S0 sacks of stock feed at 60 cents per 100 pounds, making the total gros receipts S4l5.90 per day, which, 1t is estimated would give a yearly profit on fiye-ton factory s19725.

iron and steel interests of the country receive mo protection that amounts to anything, and the farmers generally are forced to pay higher prices for hundreds of necessary articles in common use. Prosperity comss in spite Of such tariff and not on account of it.
 One kind of protection the thoughtful democrats have always favored, and that is the incidental protection which may be afforded to the industries needing it under a judicious revenue tariff. If revenue must be raised by a tariff let congress place it's burdens upon the in- terests and classes best able to bear it, and let it's benefits fall where they will do the most good. It is right to give in- eidental protection to struggling in dustry whose extension would advance the general welfare of the country. But only a blind man would march into the republican camp in ssarch of this kind of protection. The democratic party will always make it a part of it's policy, and it will dispense with the oppressive and unreasonable features which make the average republican tariff so burdensome.
 Protection wisely distributed as an in- oident of revenue tariff is very diff ferent thing from a protection per se under robber tariff.

Mighty Machinery for the Aiaska
 TreadweIl.

A meeting of the leading owners of the Alaska Tread well mine was held in New York on 0:tober 23i, when it was de. cided to expend 500, 0,000s in making ad. diiional equipments to the property. Three hundred more stamps will be erected al the Treadwell, making $40 in all. On the grounds of the Alaska Unit ed, between the Treadwell and the Alas ka Mexican, another mill of l20 stamps will De built for the use of the United States and Mexican mines. New com pressors for the Treadwell and the United are other improvements that have been decided upon.
 At present the power for the 240 stamps of the Tread well and the Mexican plant is sufficient, but for the running of the new m icainery an electric transmission power plant, capable of operating 800 stamps, IS to be erected beyond the Gastineaux channel. This work will be accomplished in the spring, and when completed it is estimated that the ore of the Alaska Tread we'll group can be mined and milled at cost of less than dollar. An eight or ten drill compressor will also he placed next season on the Juneau mine in the Silver Bow district.

Its engineer corps, for the modern war vessel Is practically machine. In this regard spain is woefaliy deficient. Fully two-thiras of the junior engineers and probably like proportion of the fire znen and coal beavers of her navy are foreign born. They are soldiers of for. tune, the riiffaff of every nation, men Who have na love for the flag that floats above them, and therefore have little or no interest in th ir work. Conse. quently the boilers and the engines arc neglected and the countless 1necbaa- lSms about the ships not cared for as in other nayics. Engineers who have visit ed tho engine rooms of Spanish men-of- war have been struck hy this fact. More over, t4a tfath is proved eonclusiyely by the work doue by ships built i'll England and manned by Spain Vessels built in English yards and turned over to the Spanish government lave been known to fall eff one-half ill speed.
 Another point of weakness is that the navy IS faulty in itsSannery. Spaniards are proyerbially bad ganners, a fact which is cue in part to lack of practice aud n part to an inherent weakness.
