A PROvIDENT FOX.
She Got Lambs, Small Birds and Seventy
six Owls For Her Young.

six Owls For Her Young.
The fox vixens are as careful mothers as
any and the way they provide for their
young is something amazing. 1t is related
that one fox in Scotland had developed
such "A marked fondness for lambs that
efforts had to be made TO find her lair 1t
was not an easy job, but after awhile the
men succeeded, and, as they half expected,
five young ones were there. They found
also store of food calculated to last q
long while. There were lambs, rats and
voles, black game, curlew, ployer and
ducks, some cartridges and, most aston
ishing of all, rs short cared owls. All tho
game was dead. 1t was in May and nat
urally most of the owls were young, but
eight of them were grown. Unfortunately
the year book of the department of agri-
culture does not tell of the sex of the old
birds; but, as they were probably captured
while defending their young, it is more
than likely that they We're nearly III not
quite all females, as female birds are, as
rule, more daring in the defense of young
than the males.
The fox, being night still hunter, had
sneaked through the fields and, on hearing
the old owls instructing their young in
the art of catching mice or voles, had
sprung among the happy families and
seized what she could get. As the owls
were extremely numerous, having in
creased during the plague of voles as did
various other predatory animals the vixen
got an unusual number of them. 1t is
unusual for carnivorous animals to lay up
such big stores, although it is common for
hawks and eagles to have q rabbit or so
ahead. Exchange.

MAJOR HUDSON KICKS.

Majo- ]. K. Hudson, formerly editor of the
Topeka Capital, sizes up McKinley's message
in the following language, in the Topeka State
Journal of Tuesday:
"The second message to congress is as much
OF disappointment as the first one accompa-
nying the report of the Maine disaster. 1t is
full of historical references and special plead
ing to Justify opposition to the recognition OF
Cuban independence. When shcrn OF the
many high-sounding, well-written sentences
glittering generalities about the honor OF the
nation, our duty, etc., there is not one single
definite, distinct utterance, in the tace OF all
the evidence of Spain's murderous record, that
means immediate action.
"There is not one ray of hope in that mes
sage for the brave Cuban patriots fighting tor
their liberty, and there is no present relief 10
the tens of thousans of starving men, women
and children whose gaunt arms have been ont
stretched toward this republic for year, plead
ing to be saved. The most emphatic utteranre
in the message is against the recognition OF
Cuban independence.
"The president says the war IN Cuba must
STOP but does not recommend armed intervr',-
ton at this time. He favors enforced paciii-
cation, whatever that means, and concludes by
throwing upon congress the responsibility Ut
that almost supreme power be given him t" use
the army and navy to intervene when /" his
Judgment the proper time arrives to do So
oft is to be hoped that congress will com
mence business on its own account to-day.
The president is entitled to all the power the
constitution gives him, and no more. This is
not one-man government In great nation
al Crisis like the present, each department OF
government is expected by the people to as
sumo the responsibility devolvng upon it. The
president has been treated with great patience
and courtesy by congress and the American
people while he evolved his policy upon the
Cuban question.
"The time has passed for further diplomatic
clap-trap and pretensc for delaying action.
What the people of this nation are to-day ask
ing their representatives in the house and senate
to do is to adopt prompt, energetic measures
that will give independence to the Cuban peo'
pie and drive the Spanish murderers into the sea-
The time has come to act Humanity, busi-
ness and patriotism demand an American policy
on this question, not one to suit Spain or the
pope or European governments. This republic
has duty to perform now, now, NOW, not
next month, or after further juggling and pro-
crastination. Every day we postpone action
complexities our situation and compromises and
degrades us as nation in partnership in the
the bloody crimes of Spain"

The Foreigner Pays the Taxes.

WASHINGTON, March I6.-Representative
D:ngley, of Maine, chairman of the ways and
means committee of the house, has n .oduced
joint resolution providing for the temporary adj
mission free of duty OF naval supplies procur-
ed abroad. 1t was as follows:
Resolved, that such guns, ammunition, and
other naval supplies as may be purchased al road
BY this government for the national defense
prior to Jan. I, 1899, shall be admitted at any
port of entry in the United States free of duty.
The bill will be reported Immediately by the
ways and means committee to which it was re-
ferred. 1t was introduced at the request of the
administration.
In one fell stroke tine paralyzer came. It's
too bad! What will the spellbnders do? For
years they have pointed out the beauties of pro-
lection and taught the people that the bankety
blank foreigners paid the tax. And now Ding
lev, representing the administration, comes for
ward and says, by his action, those fellows who
talked learnedly about Scientific" tariff laws
and the "foregner paying the taxi are either
great prevaricatiors or ignoramuses. 1t requir-
ed war scare to develop enough patriotism to
get those protection Republicans to tell the
truth. In this case the government is the con-
sumer Uncle Sam knows who pays the tax

MORE WARLIKE.

Congress is indignant at the action of Presi-
dent Mckinley, and has taken the Cuban mat
ter in its own hands. A resolution looking to
immediate action was introduced i'll the lower
house, Wednesday, and passed by vote of 322
to 10. The discussion engendered bitter feel
ing, and hot words were exchanged, which led
TO blows The excitement was intense for
time. Women in the galleries tainted and pan
demonium reigned. 1t was disgraceful scene.
The trouble grew out of misunderstanding,
which was explained, and the trouble ended.
One thing is now apparent: If we are to
have war, congress will have to act independent
of the president
LATEST: Mckinley declares he will veto
bill for Cuban independence.

Ex-Congresslnan Funston made a manly re-
cantation of his former silver sentiments at one
of the Second district county conventions last
week. The Second districts gubernatorial ia
vorite son stated frankly that he had formerly
believed in 16 to I, but, on thorough review OF
the evidence on both sides of the case, had
changed his mind He asked TO be forgiven
and promised never to do so any more. The
audience cheered the speech to the echo.

Republicans in Kansas on the silver foolishnes.

Some members of the lower house also ex-
press themselves.
Representative Sayers (Tex.): "The mes
sage of the President is disappointing in its
conclusion. Congress, in my opinion, should
not give him unlimited power for neutral IN
terventon and appropriate money to feed the
starving Cubans, not knowing whether the in
terventon is to result in Cuban independence or
in the retention of Spanish authority
Representative Dockery ono }: "'This mes
sage is a companion piece to the Presidents
former message transmitting the findings OF
the naval court of INQUIRY, and this one merely
supplements the other one. Both are anaemic,
suggestive only of vague, uncertain and heslta-
ting policies. The temporizng indecision that
has heretofore characterized our diplomatic ne
eotiations does not seem TO warrant congress III
thus taking leap in the dark. The people
will favor no armistrice except that 1t be
promptly followed by the complete indcpen-
dence of the Cubans and The utter extingulsh-
ment of Spanish sovernity OH the island. The
great overshadowing tragedy of the Maine is

Mr. Simpson (Pop, Kas.) "The message
is reflection of the man--weak and vaclllat-
ing. 1t says the insurgents have maintained
themselves against Spain for three years and in
the next breath says there is no government to
recognize. 1t concludes by asking for more
money and more time. The message will 60
down to history as one tina. puts this great re-
public in most humilating atiitude--that of
having lost all our manhood and love of liberty.
Mr.. Hartman (Silvcr MONTH "The Presi-
dents message has repeated to congress much
that we already knew and nothing that we did
not know. 1t means further delay and is in
harmony with the former acts and future pur-
poses of the administration. Having succeeded
by mastery inactivity in doing nothing to help
the situation, but to compicate, he bravely
surrenders the whole question 10 congress,

The second Democratic primary cleo

The second Democratic primary cleo
ton, which took place on the 18th
inst, passed off very quietly through
out the State, and there was amuch
larger vote than was anticipated. The
State Democratic Executive Commit
tee met in Columbia last Friday night,
canvassed the returns and declared
sMr. Ellerbe the nominee for Governor
by majority of 4, ,452 votes. The cam
paign was a long and tiresome one,
but the majority of the Democrats OF
the State have spoken, and it is the
duty now of every true Democrat to
rally to the support of our standard
bearers. The battle was fairly fought
and Mr.. Ellerbe wins by q very small
majority-the smallest that any candl-
date for Governor has had in a gene
ration. He cannot crow very loud and
long over his victory, and we trust he
will profit by the mistakes OF his past
administration and do his utmost, as
we believe he will, to make better
Governor during his next term. We
cordially wish him a successful admin
istration. Mr.. Featherstone made a
great run, and he did it without organ
ization. There is no doubt now that
had his friends worked as hard as did
Gov. Ellerbe's friends, he would have
easily won the victory.

Inasmuch as Charleston is being very
harshly criticised for polling in the
recent primary less than one-third OF
her voting strength, we publish the
following clipping from an editorial of
the Ne,cs end Courier, under date Of
18th instant, which fully explains the
light vote: ssThe vote in Charleston
was not nearly as large as our friends
in the country expected, nor nearly as
large as it would have been but for the
restrictions which have been placed
upon the suffrage in this city. The
law requires that voters at the primary
in Charleston shall not only possess
registration certificates emitting him
to vote at general elections, but that
they also present receipts showing that
they have paid their poll tax; more
than that, the law requires that they
must have paid their poll tax six
months before the primary election.
They are compelled, in addition, to be
regularly enlisted members OF a Demo
cratic club. Such conditions are not
required in any other county in the
State. They were imposed upon this
community without regard for the
broader political interests of the COM
munity, and because our hands have
been tied and our true voting strength
suppressed in party elections we rest
under the charge of Indifference to our
friends throughout the State
