Despite all efforts to locate him. the
positive identity of the author Of
Section % of the new tariff law,
as amended and passed remains
as much a mystery as that of the man
who struck Billy Patterson, or as the
whereabouts OF Tom Collins. Section %.
it viii be remembered, is the feature of
the law which levies discriminating duty
Of 10 per cent upon imports coming
through Canada and Mexico. Since no i'm
ports worth mentioning come through
Mexico, the provision is leveled at and
strikes Canada II has been presented TO
the Attorney General that the law not
only makes goods coming through Canada
liable to the discriminating duty, but that
it actually reaches all goods imported in
vessels of all countries not expressly ex-
empted by treaties.
While this latter phase of the question
is pending, there is no question about the
discrimination against goods coming
through Canada; and therein lies a source
Of much annoyance and anxiety to New
England senators and congressman. It
transpires that the law in action will give
the railroads and certain other institutions
Of New England a series of black eyes,
and that result is not desired by the states
men from that section. The reelection
Of some Of them may depend upon the
favor of the railroads and other corpo-
rations, hence they are very anxious to
have the corporations friendship and good
will
IL the question were not such great and
far-reaching one, ana did not involve so
much of legislative trickery, and possibly
official chicanery, the people of this sec
ton of the country might enjoy the spec
tacle of seeing the New Englanders hoist
upon their own petar. They set about to
build law peculiarly for the benefit of
New England and the north, and some
smart fellow with an eye single to the in
terests of special and very small class,
slipped in" the changes in Section %
Not even the father of the bill knew any
thing about it, Notwithstanding it strikes
a blow at railroads i'm his own state And
not only that, but Dingley actually vouch-
ed for the amended paragraph, declaring
it would make no change in the old law!
1t has been suggested that Senator
Steve" Elkins who is interested in ship
building and IS said to own some stock in
American sailing vessels, wrote the
amendments to Section %, but so far the
story is based upon reports and conjec-
lures Elkins pointedly proposed that dis
eliminating duties be levied upon all i'm
ports in other than American vessels,
but as the proposition was too radical for
the non-ship owning republicans, they de-
clined to accept it. Then, so it is alleged,
Elkins or somebody else Slipped in" the
amendment to Section %, to the present
great discomfort of the gentlemen from

Avoid the Trap.

AS the summer season draws to a close
the seashore and the mountains are turn
ing their hundreds and thousands of tenn
porary inhabitants back into the cities,
where they will at once take up their resi-
dence in dwellings which have for several
weeks or months been unoccupied, and IN
der the influence of the summer sun left to
become, perhaps, hotbeds of germs and
noxious gases. The majority of those who
return from summer trips built up in
health and spirits, with never a fear that
they are liable to attack by disease, enter
and take up their residence in these homes,
and then air them afterwards. The New
York Herald very aptly calls attention to
the dangers which thus beset those who
return to a house that has been cooked IN
der the summer sun, without first giving
it a proper airing and cleansing.
In speaking particularly of New York,
the Herald thinks that several thousand
inoffensive persons will this year lose
their lives upon their return to the city
through this very carelessness. 1t is in
side these Theoretically sealed dwellings, il
is stated, that the deadly snares are set.
THE summers burning suns have been
heating the air within these houses and
attracting noxious gases from the cellars
into the upper rooms. A few handfuls of
vegetables carelessly LETT in a barrel in
some dark corner in the cellar in their de-
cay have saturated every nook and corner
to the roof with subtle poison. Even if the
cellar were swept and garnished, the dis
ease breeding gases have perhaps come
no through it's floor and the hot air of the
upper rooms has drawn them upward like
a suction pump" Similar dangers, it is
said, come from washbowls and sinks from
which the water has evaporated, and neg
leeted plumbing is equally a breeding
ground for germs and disease.
What the Herald says. may, and no
doubt does, apply in all of it's force to the
dwellings, in New York city where pentup
heat gets in its work on sealed up houses,
and in slightly less degree it applies to
Savannah and every other community
from which there is an annual summer ex-
odus and a shutting up of houses. The
health that has been acquired by sum-
mer outing does not make one immune
from disease upon his or her return IN the
autumn, and for the reason that better
health has been acquired, ordinary pre-
cautions should not be overlooked. The
houses should be opened up and aired be-
fore they are occupied again. Nine out of
ten may experience no i'll effects from neg
Letting this precaution, but the tenth case
may be serious, and nobody knows to
II nh ra.-r1
ing is a timely one, and if needed the COM
ing fall may be pronounced a healthier
one.

Dilemma for Jim.

ward him with flashing eyes:

haad-stitched and that Cupid on one end

never got it over any counter either"
Didn't say l bought it over a counter

cough and looked out across a waving
cornheld.
AHA, Jim Flumley! Went to the circus
did you? And you told me how mad you
was because you had to work and couldn't

Jim squirmed looked sffeaiting and tried
to explain: 'I'll just tell you how it was.

pena and she caught me and asked me to
take her to the circus. How could a teller
get out of it?'
well she has cheek must say. Why,
here's Jen now" and the car stopped to
take on a buxom girl who greeted the
other two cheerily. Hello, jim" she said
as soon as in her seat, Il see you're

Jim tried to look unconscious and cover
the neektie, but Nell was alert and said:

The Cigarette Evil.

People of all nations have bad habits,
which are acquired by a certain percentage
Of the population and which are by many
carried to a point where they become oh
noxious and dangerous evils. In many
countries there are about as many of these
bad habits as there are classes of people
The beginning of them with the individual
is more often through the force of exam
pie, curiosity or experiment The China
man loves his opium pipe; the Russian
peasant drink his vodkl. a cheap alcoholic
stimulant, almost as he would water; the
Frenchman is fond Of his absinthe, a deep
ly insidious draught the Englishman is
ready TO acquire almost any kind of a bad
habit with little novelty about it; the In
dian loves to pour down any sort Of cheap
liquor until he cannot swallow another
drop the negro delights in craps and pol
icy, and cannot get enough of either until
he plays one too many times and gets the
contents of another negro's gun, and the
American boy, sad to relate, and too often
the American adult, goes down from the
effects of the cigarette
All the circumstances considered, there
are few of these evils which are more in
sidious or more far reaching in results
than the cigarette habit 1t is to the cigar
cite that much of the modern degeneracy
may be attributed. If there has been de-
crease in the mental force and power of
the American people, in any degree, and
such charge has been made by several
sociologists there is no doubt that it can
be attributed in part to the cigarette.
While no one believes that there has been
a general deterioration of intellect, or a
deterioration among any considerable por-
ton of the people, there have doubtless
been many minds stunted in their youth
and had their full growth cut off by the
noXious cigarette.
In the state of Georgia 1t is unlawful to
sell cigarette to a minor In Tennessee
not only the sale, but the giving away of
cigarettes to anyone, no matter how old.
is prohibited under a penalty of fine and
imprisonment, and the result is cigarette
smoking in that state is confined almost
entirely to visitors who bring their sup
plies with them. Georgia unfortunately
permits the sale of cigarettes TO anyone
except minors; but as the law stands, it
should be enforced, and any person or per-
sons found selling cigarettes to parties I'M
der twenty-one years should be made to
suffer the penalty In spite of charges by
judges TO grand juries, in spite of grand
jury presentments, in spite of Indictments
and convictions, the negro policy player
VIII play policy; nevertheless
the courts, it would appear. give him
much attention, to the neglect of other
classes Of violators of the law. Unless the
policy business is going to be broken up.
which has not yet been the case, it might
be well TO rive the policy negro a breath
ing spell, and pay some little attention to
the cigarette law.
