CUBANS ARE SCARED.

Three Friends Crew Find Them
selves Regarded as Pirates.
The actors in the recent sea tragedy,
who were on board the Three Friends,
the Cuban filibustering steamer, are bad
ly frightened over the gravity Of the stu
alton in which they have been involved.
They find themselves, instead Of being in
a dangerous position as tlibusters, to be
in the unenviable position of pirates, and
the wisest Cuban heads have been sum-
mOned in consultation. Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury Scott Wike was at
Key West investigating the matter, but
the absence of district attorney at that
place made detention farce. Mr.. Wike
censured the district attorney there for
having no representative at Key West.
At the consultation no denial had been
made by officials of the Three Friends of
the story of alleged engagement. Their
silence was taken as an admission. In
that case Spain may make requisition up
on the United States for the persons
who were aboard, and this government

For a Tariff ON Lumher

For Tariff on Lumber
The men assembled in Cincinnati to
agitate for high protective duties on
lumber represent an industry in which
large fortunes have been made with
ease and rapidity. They represent an
industry which least of all should ask
for higher taxation of the people not
for purposes of revenue. but for the en-.
richment of private individuals and cor.
porations.
Our forest reserves are being destroy
ed too rapidly as it is. Why should en-
couragement be placed upon such de-
structiOn by the imposition of nigh pro-
tective duties? Suppose a small amount
of lumber is imported from Canada; is
not the result the preservation of part
of our own limited forest domain .sntil
time when it will be more valuable?
Instead of placing premium Upon
the destruction of our forests. whose
preservation is so desirable for reasons
relating TO climate and rainfall, the
Government should rather undertake
" t lOltSJ ltSGlNC
If it be said that high duties on lum-
be- are Il benefit to the workingmen,
let it be remembered that the only i'm
pOrtation of lumber is from Canada,
and, while it is desired to levy a duty
on such importation, there is nothing
to prevent Canadian workingmen from
coming across the border into Ameri-
can lumber camps, which they do in
large numbers.
High protective duties on lumber
would mean higher prices to the con-
sumer, with little benefit to any one
but millionaire lumbermen, who al
ready have made fortunes out of the
business. Lumber is a commodity
that should be as cheap as possible, in
order to encourage building Thus
would encouragement be given to labor
and the consumer would be benefited
at the same time.-Chicago Record.

ToLLGATE NEAR LEXINGTON, KY.

County Judge and all the magiAtIates of
the county. shall appoint n comL.ission to
appraise the value of the turnpike TO be
purchased. The money for the payment
of the purchase price is raised by taxa
ton. and thereafter the turnpikas shall
he free, unless at an election held for that
purpose the taxpayers of the county shall
have opposed the purchase of the pixies.
Nearly all the principal counties in Ken
tucky have voted to purchase the turn
pixies, and in few of the counties this
has been done. In majority, however,
the magistrates have taken no action.
The people. tired of waiting and tired
of longer paying toll, have taken into
their own hands the matter of freeing the
turnpikes. The peace officers of the
counties, selected by the popular vote of
the people. are in sympathy with the free
turnpikers,'' and their iDaction has only
stimulated the rioters TO further lawless-
ness.
1t is believed that the recent demon
strations will have the effect of stimu-
lating the county magistrates TO action IN
the matter of making all the highways
free. The cities are much in favor of the
permanent removal of the toll gate. as it
means the more frequent visit to town Of
the farmer and his family.
