DOESN'T THINK IT RELIABLE.
Alderman Davis and the Suburban
and West End Railway.

In matter of the petition of the Subur-
ban and West End Railway for street
franchises, mention of which was made
in yesterdays Morning News, it was stat
ed that the petition had been mislaid and
that it was intimated that the street and
lane committee Of Council was opposed to
granting the desired franchise
Alderman Davis said yesterday that the
petition was mislaid by him and he had
forgotten all about 1t until the Mayor
inquired what action the committee had
taken Mr.. Davis Immediately hunted for
and found the paper, which he proposes
10 bring before his committee so soon as
it can get a meeting.
Alderman Davis said that he il not
in any way inimicaf 20 the Su-
burban and West Railway. but
he doesn't think that the corporation is
reliable for the reason that it has not
paid it's obligations to the city for street
paving and other matters up to the pres
emf time.

When the farmers of the cou ntry stop
to compare their condition at the close of
year trial of Republican administration
and protective policy with hat of the years
Immediately preceding it under Demo-
cratic administration and free trade policy
they must reach the conclusion that it is
not case OF happen so, but that Just so
long as the government is under Demo
cratic free trade control, business will be
stagnated factories closed, men out Of
employment, wages reduced and farm
Under the three years operations of the
Wilson tariff the business of the country
became terribly depressed; thousands of
men were out of employment; prices Of
all products sold at and below cost of pro-
duction, What is the difference at the
present time? Merely that the policy Of
the government has been changed that the
low tariff measure has been stricken from
the statute books and a law placed thereon
which protects American industry and
gives employment to American workmen,
and at the same time produces revenue to
meet the expenses of the government.
The effect of this change has been, in a
single year, that vast amounts of money
have been put into circulation that more
men are earning wages. and men are earn
ing more wages with which to buy, and
prices of farm products of all sorts have
risen notwithstanding the large crops of
the year. The statistics of the Aglicul-
tural Department show that the cereal
crops of the United States for 1897 We're
worth $780, 600, 900 more than in the
preceding year, and that the values of
farm animals, horses cows, sheep hogs,
etc, have increased in the year something
like $3.50, 600, 900, the increase in values
being distributed through every State and
Territory. This is not merely chance
this great rise in prices of practically
every article of farm production; nor can
it be successfully charged to shortage

Till the lily bells were Ginning,
Christ is risen He lives again
Hark angel voices
Fall from the skies,
Christ hath arisen,

All over our land the bells will now
peal forth a joyous Easter tide and we
will read again the words as We have so
often before: ''And very early in the
morning the first day of week, they came
into the sepulchre at the rising of the
sun. And they said among themselves,
who shall roll us away the stone from the
door of the sepulchre? And when they
looked they saw that the stone was rolled
away, for it was very great" And the
angel said unto them, 'Ee is not here
he is risen" This was, as one writer has
said, 1.-The simplest possible announce
ment of the most tremendous possible
fact"
With what joy must their hearts have
been filled at those glad tidings And to-
day our hearts are filled with joy as we
think of the depth of the love of Him
who died that we might live and rose
again that we may also live with Him.

The protection sentiment is no longer
looked upon in the South as treason to
Democratic principles. Gov. Culbersons
OF Texas, who is a candidate for the U. S.
senate, in recent statement, intended as
reply to Senator Mills assertions on this
subject, says that the advocacy Of duties
ON imports of raw materials has not always
been considered undemocratic. On the
contrary, he shows that the tariff of
1916, known as the Walker tariff, and
considered safe Democratic tariff stand
ard, placed duties on most of the raw
materials. The State of Texas, it now
appears, will be represented in the Sen
ate by man having broad views on the
protective question, and thus add to the
thirty or forty votes from the South cast
for protection in the recent legislation on
that subject.
