for the first time in 20 years. The reason
is: Congress has been tinkering with the
tariff so much that there is no market
for the goods
These same concerns before election
urged their employees to support Mckinley
and argued that if he was elected the de-
mand for their production would be in

Instead of increasing. the demand has
been steadily decreasing, until finally the
goods could not be forced at all. The own
crS have been running on short time for
some weeks, but they have found it i'm
possible TO keep going. and now all of
the employees will have to seek employ
ment elsewhere. The merchants who have
been dependent upon these workmen for
patronage are in a bad way.

We gave a history, last week, of the
attempt that was being made by a few
malcontents, in Minneapolis to start
weekly paper. to fight THE REPRE-
SENTATIVE. 1t seems they had all
the will in the world but neither capital
nor popular support and so we find in
the Minneapolis Evening Journal. O.!

Chances are very much against the
appt arance of new silver organ at the
present time. Those Interested have can
vassed the field thoroughly but found that
aside from the one point it might be q IN 1t
ter of some difficulty to prescribe a policy
which would suit all hands. The matter
of subscriptions has not been as successful
hoped either. Between the two the
project may be said to have died a-bornin'."
What is really needed is some par
ties OF wealth and influence who will
furnish money and brains, and establish
and maintain the paper, and let S. NJ
Owen take the nomination. That is
the game he played on THE REPRE-
SENTATIVE for years. and then when
we agreed to it, he insisted that he

by and bury the remains in a manure

And they could not agree on the poll

wanted it so that no one would be
kept out, and the others wanted it so
that there would be nothing to induce
any one to come in. 1t was to repre-
sent nothing and be nothing and do

The world is going badly with that
excellent and able woman. A mortgage
company took advantage Of the hard
times, and the tremendous shrinkage
in values, to foreclOse on her home and
take it for half the face OF the mort

1t was natural that the English nows-
PAGERS should not want to cast a shade v
over the recent jubilee ceremonies bv
printing the details of the plague in In
dia. 1t has, in fact, been very hard to
get at the truth, for the English papers
are VIGOROUSLY loyal to England's colo
NAL policy, and they have not told all
they know. AS our news has come
through English channels we have al
most as much reason to question it as
we have the reports of Spanish victories
in Cuba by way of Madrid. For these
reasons the reports of Julian Hawthorne,
the first American to make an investiga-
ton by a visit to the scenes of the
plague, are of worldwide inheritance,
and the story he tells surpasses all the
horrible fears of the reading public.
We have heard only inklings of the
real facts. The deaths have been not by
thousands but by millions. In one dis
trict eight millions of people have al
ready died of starvation. How far the
total will go no human mind can specu-
late When Great Britain got control
of India the population " as 10000, 000;
it is now 300,000,000 and the English
officers told Mr.. Hawthorne that the
country could not support them. The
pictures, from photographs. printed in
Leslie's Weekly, showing the natives
starved to skeletons, are more than
matched by the awful illustrations that
accompany Mr.. Hawthornes article in
the Cosmopolitan. They seem impossi-
BILE in this age of progress and plenty
and the editor of the magazine asks why
England should spend 500, 600 on a
holiday and leave these people to starve.
But Mr.. Hawthorne gives full credit to
the English authorities, and says they
are doing all they can with the resources
at hand, although the resources are de-
plorab'y inadequate. When the world
knows more about this horror surely
more will be done to alleviate it.

THE MURDER OF DIR. RYDER.
Strong and Timely Editorial from the
Atlanta journal.

AIlhDUa journal
The lynChing of DR.. w. L. Ryder fur
1f5hes cause for serious thought by those
who are really interested in the enforce
meut of criminal laws and also in the
reservation of legal trials throughout
the state. DR.. Ryder committed a great
crime, we have no doubt, That he
should have had legal trial surely will
not be questioned by any one who be-
ue7es in the preservation of law and or
der.
The defense set up was insanity. We
do not believe that the guilty should be
allowed to escape under this plea, but
w4ore real case of insanity exists the
Judge aud the jury ordering an execution
would be infinitely more culpable than
the unfortunate person who committed
the CRIME
Dr. Ryder was rushed into his first trial
before a community outraged by his deed
and scarcely capable of giving him a fair
lIal, The Judge of the superior court
overruled a just motion for continu-
ance, and the supreme court was forced
to give Ryder a new trial on account of
the numerous errors of the presiding
Judge.
Yesterday the case came up again for
hearing. The leading counsel for DR..
6yder, it is conceded, was prevented
from being present by providential
cause, and the judge, with the courage
and manhood which should be admired
oy every lover of the law, declined to
yield to the popular demand, and gave
Dr. Ryder a continuance for only few
weeks.
Was there anything in this to justify
'he lynching? Was there anything in
1nls to Justify criticism upon the laws of
georgia? There is no reason for a change
al Ine laws which gave DR.. Ryder new
