HIS COYOTE SKIN SCHEME.

Deputy Sheriffs Burt and Boman
Cannon have been working on the
coyote matter for some time and say
they have discovered that Filter has
been doing a lively business in coyote
skins for quite long time AID has
probably defrauded the state of Mon
tana out of 800 or $1,000 during the
past six months, as that state pays a
bounty of $3.50 each for killing coyotes
in the state. s-'-
Filters system was TO visit the vari-
Gus hide and skin warehouses in this
city and buy UP all the coyote skins he
could find. He, the officers say, trimmed
them up and shipped them in boxes to
Dillon, Butte of Fort Benton, addressed
to J. II. Bowman. Filter then followed
and disposed of the skins TO the vari-
Gus county clerks in the mountain
state by making affidavit that the ami
mails whose skins he presented were
killed in that state.

The COUNTY ROADS.

When we first began to write about the
fearful roads in Tazewell County we ap-
pretended that there might be some dis
sent among the citizens to the views we
expressed. 1t has been our good fortune,
however, to strike popular cord, and we
have heard nothing but words of approval
in connection with the criticisms made upon
the character of the roads.
We have started out with the fixed in
tention Of helping to awaken among the
people of Tazewell such an earnest interest
in good roads that there will a popular
uprising and demand for better roads.
a gentlemen told us o short time ago
that the policy had been ITO build macad-
am roads and let them 60 to thunder"

here then, is the difference between
elections inse the counties, and elections In
the Northern and Western States. Public
opinion of those States condemns fraud in
elections, and when they are perpetrated
the officers of the law are driven by an
outraged community into prosecuting the
offenders to the full extent of the law.
But public opinion in these counties of
Virginia has been such that no one wanted
to hear election frauds discussed, and the
thing has been allowed to go on unchecked,
and will continue so, unless sentiment is
aroused to avert the unspeakable disaster
of haying the character of our people I'M

THE SOUTH AND PROTECTION.
How Sentiment Is Changed in That
NeighbOrhood on the Revenue
Question.
Atlanta Constitution" (Dcm.)

Atlanta Constitution" (Dcm.)
There is only one way to explain the
dense misunderstanding of the Democratic
tariff position on the part of intelligent
men in the South, namely: the radical po-
sition assumed in Congress by such men as
Morrison when the party was in hopeless
minority. The opposition to Republican
ism was fiercer because of its irrespon
siblitv, and, so far as the Southern Dem
ocrais were concerned, was kindled and
fed by the natural resentment they felt on
account of the vicious legislation aimed at
the social organization of the South.
1t was at this time that the free trade
folly began to strut around Us Democracy;
and, undoubtedly, it is owing to the insen-
sible drift in that direction by harried
and resentful minority in Congress that,
since that time, a great many
men who ought to have been better in
formed imbibed the idea that free trades
Democratic doctrine. Still others have been
deceived by the popular contraction of the
demand, free trade on the high seas
and sailors rights into "free trade and
sailors rights San echo of the war oflS12.
The change that has been brought
about is not, we fear, the result of any
study of Democratic history, but the out
come of the pressure brought to bear by
various local interests-the rice planters,
the sea island cotton planters, the lumber
men, and SO to the end of the list. An
editor who was yesterday rampant free
trader suddenly finds that his constituents
have interests of their own to look after.
They give him nudge ortwo and he dscov-
ers that if the producers Of one section are
in any event to have protective legislation,
there is no sound reasons why the pro-
ducers Of all sections should not enjoy the
same benefits. Then he utters this truism:
"They cannot afford to pay protection
prices for.thelrssupplies and sell their pro-
ducts at free trade prices"
Now we sincerely hope that those who
have been moved to tuck their free trade
doctrines under the bed will be led to ex-
anime and indorse the real Democratic
position-a tariff for revenue. The duty
of 81 thousand on lumber is as old as
the Legislature:ef our Government, and
it never was disturbed until school profess
sors and free, traders tried to twist the
Democratic party away from its time-hon-
ored position. They gave it severe
wrench, but. III. still stands where it stood.

IT is amusing to see how certain Dem
ocratic members of congress predict that
the passage of the Dingley tariff bill will

an overwhelming majority to the Demo.

we're sincere in their belief they would be

)6f excitement Ia The county on the subject
of roads, and all we could do, in our hum
Bile way, would amount to nothing. We
do not intend to be deferred or discouraged.
The experience of the past winter is fresh
in the memories ofevery man, woman and
child. Not only has serious discomfort
resulted from the almost impossible roads,
but heavy pecuniary loss has been inflicted
upon those who have been compelled to
travel them.
We suppose every man of intelligence
in the county will admit that its roads are
in disgraceful condition. This being adj
mitted, why not take steps to remove as
rapidly as possible the greatest drawback
to the progress and development of the
county? This cannot be done by talking
or criticism. 1t can be accomplished by
united action and sentiment on the part
of the citizens. A new road system will
have to he devised; and more money for
road purposes secured. fit is to be done
by increased taxation for road purposes
the people ought not to object. The
heaviest tax that was ever placed on any
community is that fastened by such awful
public highways as are generally found
throughout this county
