Section p.


Speaker Reed says "sipped in
now seems likely to result IN more
important and far reaching compli
cations than were at first apparent
The new phase of the subject which
has arisen is whether the duty oil
10 per cent does not apply to all
goods imported in foreign vessels
landing at United States ports,
which are not exempt from discrim
inatoiy tonnage tax by express
treaty stipulations as well as those
coming in through Canada and Mex
leo.
The section of the law which is
attracting so much attention, is as
follows:
"Section %. That discriminate
ing duty of 10 per centum ad valor-
en-. in addition to the duties impos-
ed by law, shall be levied collected
and p aid on all goods, wares and
merchandise which shall be import
ed in vessels not of the United
States, or which, being the produc
ton of manufacture of any foreign
country not contiguous to the Unit
ed States shall come into the United
States from such contiguous coun-
try; but this discriminating duty
shall not apply to goods, wares or
merchandise which shall be import
ed in vessels not of the United
States entitled at the time Of such
importation by treaty or convention
to be entered in the ports OF the
United States, on the payment OF
the same duties as shall be payable
on goods, wares and merchandise
imported in vessels of the United
States, nor to such forei ~ procucts
or manufacturers as shall be imported
from such contiguous countries III
in the usual course of strictly retail
trade. "
The clause corresponding to this
one in the previous tariff law pro-
vides as follows:
That this discriminating duty
shall not apply to goods, wares or
merchandise which shall be import
ed in vessels not of The United States
entitled at the time of such importa-
ton by treaty or act of congress to
be entered IN ports of the United
States, on the payment of the same
duties as shall then be payable on
goods, etc, imported in vessels OF
the Unltcd states.
The important part OF the change
made consisted in substituting the
word "convention' for "act of con-
gress /" 1t has been in Pursuance
of an act OF congress that the pres
ident has exempted the vessels OF
many foreign countries from the
discriminating duties. By the
chenge which "slipped in" the
president seems to be deprived of
this power
1t is significant that no one has
yet come forward TO assume respon-
sibility for section % or even defend
it.
1t is well known that Senator FL
kins was an advocate of discrim.
mating duty on all goods imported
in foreign vessels, in the alleged in
terest of encouraging and building
up an American merchant matine,
and made an extended speech on
the subject 10 which nobody appear
to pay any attention.
The law as it stands does not
seem calculated to greatly benefit
American shipping, since the YES"
sells of m my nations are already
protected against its effects by
trea'y. The most it is like y to do
therefore is to transfer the carrying
trade from one class of for eigners
to another

Electric
Company.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen.
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house. and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me-
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and l take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite a number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you wall.
We have complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

Concerning the nature of these soils
so far as the chemical estimation Of
the given elements bears, | may say
that Notwithstanding the large varia-
lions. all of the samples contain an
average of the food elements requir-
ed by plants: whilst No. is quite I'M
usually (for these Islands) rich in
lime, and the nitrogen content is enor-
nous.
For the purpose of coffee culture all
of these soils, with proper preparatory
cultivation. and the use of specific
fertilizers when given elements in the
soil, i'm time. may become low, may
be considered amply adapted. provid-
ed climate and other essential condi-
lions are suitable.
1t may be in place for me to add
that many coffee bearing soils that
have been brought under my notice,
and which are not giving satisfactory
results. owe their present unfovor-
able conditions to the rawness and
rank acidty obtaining. in which in
stances | had advised better cultiva-
ton. and the application of lime.
Commenting myself further to your
services. | have the honor to remain,
Mr.. President.
Yours most respectfully,

A RELIGIOUS DAILY.


Some weeks ago the editor of the
North Carolina Christian Advocate
suggested that the day would come
IN the not far distant future when
religious daily newspaper would be one
Of the established institutions.
There is no doubt that whenever there
Is a demand for it, a religious daily
will appear. How soon that demand
Is created will depend upon the attitude
Of what is called the secular press to-
ward religious questions and Christian
gatherings. So long as the daily news
papers devote as much space to the re-
ports of religious gatherings as the
Wilmington Messenger recently gave to
the Southern Baptist convention, the
Charlotte Observer to the Presbyterian
Assembly, and the News and Observer
to the session of the Episcopal conven-
ton that met here last May and the
Methodist conference now in session-so
long as the daily papers fully meet the
need Of the religious world along these
lines, just so long will there be no need
tor a distinctly religious daily paper.

Carolina" recently printed by Edwards
and Broughton, lin fact, were favored
by the author with a reading of The
larger part Of the treatise before it was
given to the printer) and it affords us
pleasure to say that it is a publication
that will prove of great practical value
to the judges of our courts, especially to
Justices of the Peace, and more especial
~ to pra cticing lawyers and others who
may wish to know quickly, what the
law is, as contained in statutes and deci-
sions OF our Supreme court in regard to
liens in favor of mechanics, contractors,
sub-contra ctors or laborers, and the
mode Of procedure necessary to filling,
perfecting and enforcing such liens The
treatment Of the subject is so compre-
hensiye and the arrangement of the mat
ter is SO correct and excellent that we
venture to say there is no phase Of the
law relating to liens in favor Of mechan-
les, artisans, laborers, material men and
sub-contractors that is not discussed,
analysed and calculated.
The author has received letters of COM
mendation from prominent members If

tn. DEMOCRATIC A DRESS.

The papers all over the State applaud
State Executive committee. So far those
that have spoken are agreed that it
fals the bill. 1.-The address," says Web
steers Weekly, was drafted by Francis
d. Winston, Esq, of BERTHE county, an
does his head and heart credit. 1t sets
10th admirably the spirit of the party
1t is conservative, cenciliatory and sen
sible. 1t breathes the spirit Of patriot
ism and brotherly Kindness"
In like vein all the other papers
that are fighting to secure good govern.
nent THAT address ought to- be print
ed BY the tens OF thousands and circu-
lated broadcast in every county in the
State. 1t is no ordinary campaign de
claration. 1t is the utterance of mel
who, long before the opening Of the
campaign, throw out the life line tc
all who are in stormy political seas. II
Is the deliberate and studied declara-
ton Of the representatives of the party
of the white man and the white metal.
1t is but the precursor of a Democratic
platform in 1898 upon which those who
favor good government will stand.
The Charlotte News, in a few words
rings out clear when it says:
1.-THE; address is magnificent. 1t
is comnlate 1t is Democratic i'm
every syllable.
"We endorse it from alpha to
omega, and commend the comittee
for its great wisdom In formulating
such a set Of resolutions.
"Now let the papers and the peo-
Pile who really want Democratic
success, put away personal views,
and fight along the lines laid down
in these resolutions, and the victory
viii be ours"

been impressing himself upon the people
of this country as one who had the true
credentials of a divine mission. That
man was Bishop Francis Asbury-the
first Methodist preacher known by au-
thentic history to have preached at the
capital of North Carolina. 1t was A
cold day when Asbury came. There
were no churches in Raleigh then, and
in accordance with the custom of minis
ters of other denomina tons, he repaired
to the State House, where he preached
to the people.
1t was not until a few years after
this that we hear of an organized
Methodist membership in Raleigh under
regular pastoral care. In 1911 Raleigh's
first Methodist conference was held, at
which Bishop Asbury presided.
Immediately after this the MethOdists
erected Il house of worship, which was
said to have been the first built by any
denomination in the place. This build
ing was consumed ny fire in 1889 and a
new building, made of brick, was
erected on the site of the present Eden
ton Street church, which remained I'M
til few years ago, when it was torn
down and the present commodious build
ing erected.
I'm accordance with the law of the
church, the term of the pastorate be-
ing limited, quite number of ministers
have served this congregation. Among
the first were Christopher s. Morning,
William Owen, Canelum Hines. James
McAden, Peyton Anderson, Lewis Skid
more and Hezekiah G.. Leigh.
And further on were Revs. Bennett

RAILROAD COMMISSION CASE
1t was Argued Before the Supreme
Court Yesterday rag q 81 T. .ss%

1t was Argued Before the Supreme
Court Yesterday h. 3s,
The cases of Caldwell vs. Wilson an6
Pearson VS.. Wilson were argued before
the Supreme court yesterday morning
from II to 2 o'clock.
The two eases were combined into one
and an hour and half was given To-
each side for argument. Three speeches
were made for the appellants and three,
for the appellees. Mr.. r. 0. Burton
opened the argument. He was followed
by Judge Avery; and he in turn by
Judge Whitaker. Then Judge MacRae
spoke and was followed Maj. John D.
Shaw. Mr.. j. G. L. Harris closed the
case.
AS the case came up on a quo warrants
and therefore has precedence of all
others, it is probable that an opinion
will be rendered by the court at an ear
ly day.
OF course no intimation was given yea
terday as to what that opinion may be-
Only one question was asked counsel by
the court and that came from the Chief
Justice. He desired to know of Cald-
well and Pearson's attorneys whether
they thought there was any difference
between a suspension and a dismissal,
and if so, what?
1t is certain, though, that the Wilson's
will appeal to the United States Su-
preme court if the case goes against
them.
