Prices Going LIN.

Prices of sugar, lumber, tea and other
articles have already risen since du-
ties have been increased or new ones
imposed. The foreigner appears to be
somewhat backward in coming forward
to pay these tariff duties, but perhaps
he was taken by surprise by the SEN
ate's action, and will yet pay all duties
assessed against him by republicans.

STILL RESOLUTING.

The colored politicians are still
resoluting and resolving. The
colored brother is kicking because
it is claimed that he is not being
cared for. If one half of these
office-seekers would hunt for some
legitimate work instead of hanging
around Washington looking for a
lob, we are sure they would be
better off.

Senatorial Con.i.teucx.

The three senators who are response
BILE for the present senate bill-Aldrich,
Platt and Allison-strongly denounced
ad valorem duties in 1894. They now
go out of their way to give the sugar
trust a gratuitous ad valorem duty.
Such is consistency.

The Speaker said that the white M
had been getting everything in sg-
and making fearful grabs in the da1
for anything which might acCidennh
be left in the shuttle. The future
the colored man in politics depenja
entirely upon some man or men Vi
would never go to sleep; who VoEi
keep an ever-watchful eye. He q.
he loved his race and was wIlliws
make any sacrifice for it, but he d
satisfied that race which would d
trust itself would never succeed.
There was absolutely no future
politics for the COlored man unless
would deal with the white man exlc,
as he dealt with him. The BIZ.
taught 'an eye for an eye," and tz
was what it meant.

guests of Ex-senator B. K. Bruce.
Mr.. Green left Tuesday for West
Virginia where rousing reception
will Re rendered him. He will re-
turn in few days ready for busi-
ness.
Col NJ. M. Holland is now be-
ing gagged by the politician Law
yer Jones asked him a few days
ago where the black clerk was that
President Mckinley was going 10
appoint as his private secretary af-
ter his Inauguration. The Col. re-
marked, Lawyer Jones was entitled
to the sympathy of his followers to
whom he pointed land of flowers
and honey on the event of Major
McKinley's election.
Major Moore is considering the
propriety of appointing or recon-
mending another colored detective.
Mr.. Edward Brockenborough is
being considered for the place.
The District politicians are on
the anxious bench. They don't
know what to do. They are all
hungry for an office. The several
Candidates for official recognition
have decided to be cut down to
their size.
Commissioners Ross and Wight
have made up their minds to move
with caution in making appoint
ments. The District republicans
are not at all pleased with the way
things are moving.
The kickers against the admins
tration are of the opinion that MIR.
Fortunes speech would have been
more effective had he left Christi
fer High jerks Taylor off the pro-
gram. Ex-senator B. K. Bruce
knew nothing about the meeting
nor did he intend to preside.
Mr.. Charles R. Douglass will be
appointed to his old place In the
Pension office. He is an old SOL
dier and a brave one while in bat
tie.
Congress will now adjourn and
booo There are several pOliti-
cal fences to be put up before the
fall election.
Well, it is amusing to see the
kickers kick. President McKin-
lev hasn't changed bit. He is
the same man now that he was be-
,ore his election. Just as DR..
johnson remarked a few days ago,
the republican party has something
else to do aside from looking out
for offices. Editor Fortune Will
make you believe that the moon is
made out of green cheese. The
ueople Editor Fortune named IN
his recent interview have no claim
whatever on the republican party.
The best thing for them to do is to
re urn home and dig potatoes.
It is believed that Major McKin-
lev will give satisfaction to the re-
nnblicans. Those republicans
who don't want to remain in the
republican party have right to do
what they see fit. They should
consider this one thing: "All the
members of the body took 1t into
their heads not to work for the
stomach because they said 1t Was
| idle and useless, so the stomach
starved" The best fighters are
tho e who remain in the line and
fight. Whenever you go outside
of the breastworks you lose your
grip.
Judge Mills is giving entire sat-
isfaction on the bench. lie is a
dignlfed gentleman who knows the

street. in this city, where she died and
where she had lived for many years,
was dearer TO her than any other spot
on earth. There she spent her declin-
ing days with her daughter Helen and
her grandchildren, Grace and James
Mckinley, receiving occasional visits
from her other children. While show
ing a deep affection for her other chill
dren, she had followed the career of
William with pride and solicitude. With
fond motherly admiration she watched
him rise from the position of prose-
cutting attorney of his own county by
successive stages to congressman, gov
ernor and finally to the presidency.
Nancy Allison Mckinley came of a
family which was transplanted from
England to the hills of Virginia. The
Allison family subsequently removed to
Green county, Pa, where Abner ALI
son, Nancy's father, was born, and
where he married Ann Campbell, of
Scotch German descent. Early in the
present century Mr.. and Mrs. ALI
son came from Pennsylvania to Co
lumbiana county, this state, travel
ing by pack horses In 1909, near the
present city of Lisbon, Nancy Allison
was born. Her girlhood was passed on
the farm, and in 1927 she married VIII
liam Mckinley, a young iron manufac-
turer. The couple lived first at Fair
field and afterward at Niles and Po-
land before removing to Canton. Nine
children were born to them. Those liv-
ing are Helen Minerva of Canton; Sa-
rah Elizabeth, wife of Mr., A. j. Duncan
of Cleveland; William, the president;
Abner, whose home is in New York.

HAITI WAY DECLARE wAR.
Belief In Washington That President Sam

Will he Forced to DO SO.
New York, Dec. 14.-The Herald this
morning has the following from its
Washington correspondent:
If Italy follows the course pursued by
Germany In collecting an indemnity for
the murder of an Italian subject and
the Illegal seizure of an Italian vessel.
the belief prevails in Washington that
President Sam will be forced by his peo-
pie to declare war.
Minister Leger said that he had re-
ceived no information in regard to this
latest phase of HaitPs international
troubles, but he expects that he will be
early advised of the matter in order
that he may make suitable representa-
tions on the subject to this government.
state department official said that
Mr.. Powell had not been heard from, Ell
ther with reference to the downfall of
the Haitian ministry or the Italian mat
ter. Seemingly the only official infor-
nation concerning Haitian affairs which
has reached here is a confirmation of
advices received this morning by Min
lister Leger announcing the resignation
of the ministry.
Mr.. LegsT has repeatedly said that
the people of Haiti would oppose a tame
compliance with Germany's demands,
and while the Haitians have no fortifi-
cations and a navy hopelessly inferior
to that of Italy the members of the
Haitian legation expect their govern
ment will not comply with any per
emptory demand which may be made
by Italy unless 1t should be shown that
there is Justice in the claim presented
by the italian government. These gen.
tlemen believe their government is
not responsible for either of the matters
brought to its attention by Italy.
The United States cruiser Marblehead
will remain at Port au Prince until
Haiti's troubles are over.

case was that of an italian fisherman,
who was assassinated here last Octo-

WARNER CAUGHT AT LAST.
One Of the Kidnapers of Johnny Conway
Captured In Kansas.


Captured In Kansas.
Albany. Dec. 15.-Albert s. Warner
the lidnaper of little John Conway, has
been captured in Riley, a small town in
Kansas, by Detective Joseph Mccain
Of the Albany police department. The
Information which led to the capture OF
Warner was obtained in New York city
last Thursday. On Friday Detective Nc
Cam went west and reached Kansas
City yesterday. Mccain telegraphed
last night to Chief of Police Willard
that he had Warner in custody and
would bring him to Albany as soon as
extradition papers can be secured.
Warner was in Philadelphia as late
as a month ago and before that was in
Seabright, N. j., where he has a broth
er employed as a clerk in the Seabright
inn. The place was shadowed day and
night for long time, and finally War
ner left and went to Philadelphia. There
all trace of him was lost by the Albany
police, and the trail was not picked up
until last Thursday, when private in
formation was secured. The detective
sent this dispatch, II have Warner" ="
The arch conspirator of the celebrated
Conway kidnapping case, who had so
successfully eiuded all detectives, has
finally been run to earth. The only
surprising fact is that he has been 81
successful in lodging the police Of the
various cities, who have been constant
ly on the lookout for him.
Warmers fellow conspirators, Blake
and Hardy, now,in Clinton prison, were
captured soon after the crime had been
committed, but Warner, who was last
seen In Schenectady, displayed his
shrewdness and tact In the remarkable
chase across the continent which has
finally resulted in his being taken pris-
oner.
Extradition papers win be sent to
Kansas at once. and in few days
Warner win again be at the site OF the
crime TO stand trial on the charge on
which he was indicted months ago.
