those of the surrounding country and

admirably in saving time and the disa-
greeable duty of taking up a collec-

THE TRAGIC STEAMER sULTANA.

2,1OO Union soldiers, who had been pris-

vile and other Southern prisons, and
who had either been exchanged or freed
by the flight Of their jallers. The SOL
diers were from the West, and there
were several cases of 100 or so belong
ing to one regiment.
This was an enormous load for the
steamer and she made slow progress
up the river. The boat coaled at Mem
phis. After taking on an unusually
large supply, she left Memphis Mt 8
o'clock at night. April 20, 1866. She
pulled out of the harbor for the last
time and started up the river. But she
did not go far. About ten miles above
Memphis, while all were asleep, the
vessel exploded. 1t was o'clock In
the morning, April q, 1865, that the
Sultana was wrecked, with a loss Of
1900 men, nearly all Union soldiers.
One Of the boilers burst, tearing out
one whole side Of the hull. The vessel
then listed to one side, while the other,
which had caught fire, burned furiously
as the swift gale famed the flames into
q roaring blaze. 1t was a horrible
scene. Twenty-Five hundred men were

The El Dorado Myth.

Eel Dorado Is the term now heard on
every side I'm connection with the placer
mines OF Alaska and the Northwest
Territory of Canada. Its derivation Is
of interest. In the fifteenth century 1t
was rumored that there existed In the
northern part Of South America a city
OF great wealth called Manoa, whose
king, Eel Dorado by name, was period
ically smeared with gold dust, until his
whole body had gilded appearance.
1t was said that on these occasions he
threw gold, emeralds and other pre-
cious metals and gems into sacred
lake, In which he afterward bathed.
Beginning In 1882 the Spanlards sent
many large expeditions to search for
this phantom city, sand most of them
ended dIsastrously, hundreds of lives
being lost. One explorer, Orellano,
averred that he found FL Dorado In his
voyage down the Amazon In 1910. This
was disproved, but the search was con-
tinued down to the eighteenth century.
Some of the results were the conquest
and settlement of New Granada, the
making known to the world of the
mountain region OF Venezuela, the dis

"
President Mckinley has so carried
himself In the greatest crisis that has
come upon the country since the war
for the Union as to call forth common
dalton and support from members Of
all parties, and from every section Of
the country. 1t must be very gratifying
to him to receive these testimonials,
coming at a time when they signify
much, not only to himself, but to all
critics at home and abroad who have
prophesied that the people and the
President would In some way fail when
the crucial test of patriotism came.
1t Is very important to have In times
of great excitement a cool-headed and
courageous man In the Presidents
chair. 1t Is more important to have that
cool-headed and courageous man close
ly In sympathy with the finer impulses
and higher convictions of the people.
The United States stands to-day with
a man in the Presidents chair who has
exhibited the judgment, the. courage,
the adroitness Of the statesman In
graphing with d momentous issue. and
who has Behind him the Senate, and
the House of Representatives, and the
people of every State. Such spectacle
In these modern times is as rare as 1t is

Exclusion, Not Protection.

Those Democratic papers which
never lose an opportunity to attack the
protective tariff have been justifying
the action of the German government
in excluding American apples and other
fruits. They say that we are simply
getting dose of our own medicine.
There is a great deal of difference be-
tween an act Of exclusion and a pro-
tective tariff. Germany now taxes
many imports. So does England. The
right of n nation to tax imports Is not
denied In our contentious with Ger
many. IL Germany wants to place a
duty on imported apples, we cannot OBJ
ject. But that duty must be general;
that Is. it must he applied to the i'm
ports from all countries, unless there
Is an equivalent rendered under. re-
ciprocity or favored nation customs.
As we understand Ii. Germany does SO
levy duties on imports from America.
What Is objected to In the recent order
Is the fact that our fruits were ex-
cluded and not only excluded but
branded as dangerous, that Is affected
with diseases or noxious insects.
1t does not require large amount OF
explanation to show that there Is "A
great and a vital difference between
German exclusion and American pro.
lection.
