TEA-DRINKING AND TANiN"'

The great tea importers and dealers III
This country are said to entertain 'he pe-
lief that Congress will remove the present
duty on that article.
They are nl-inform.d. II will be many
vears before our government releases
any subject of taxation upon which
now has its grip. on the contrary us
needs will require IT to search for rev
subjects. If not TO add to existing rates
we suspect that the average congress-
man does not drink tea, and that the
most he knows about 1t is what he reads
in the society columns of newspapers
where IT figures under many coiored
lights as the beverage for the lovely wo-
men and elegant gentlemen who grace
such occasions.
Tea has n big pull on society, while
beer has a big pull on politicians. Ana
inasmuch as our congressman were forced
IN raise the tax on beer when they fXea
the present tax on tea, it Is not likely
tbev will make a concession in one case
until they are able to make 1t in the
other.
The truth is these United States are
entering upon a spendthrift career. They
are mourning expenses that will generate
other EXPENSES. and which will continue
az long as the country lasts. 'Retrench-
ment and reform" are things not dream
ed of in Federal philosophy. We are go

ohice-holders. We are going to reorgan-
lie the National Guard militia) and sup
port IL chiefly from the Federal Treasury
In short, we are going 10 spend money
right and left. Then. why talk about
taking the tax off tea?
But IL may be said that the acquisition

ness very lively No doubt some indus

A MISTAKE.

The Providence Or. H. Journal III an
article on Law in the Carolinas," says
that It is conceded that the whites de-
test the negro. The Journal Is mistaken
No true southern white man, native and
TO the manner born, will concede anything
Of the kind.
The southern whites do not detest the
negro. They are his best friends. They
bear with him more patiently than ever
the northern whites would dream o; do
ing. contribute their money TO educate
him. help him to build his churches give
him employment, and encourage him In
every way to become a good citizen.
AS a rule, when a negro gets INTO
trouble the first man he goes to for advice
and assistance is some southern white
friend. The whites have an affection ana
entertain a solictude for the welfare OF
the negro that the average northern man
cannot understand.
But all southern whites. who are not a
disgrace to their race, do detest the icea
Of negro domination, and no power on
earth can make them submit to such
domination. Furthermore, they detest'
with detestation unspeakable, the white
man who would encourage the negro to
brook the consequences OF attempting
domination.

"Buttoned-up People" wass 1.-THE subject
Of an address recently delivered by Rev.
DR.. Robert Mcintyre. Of Chicago in the
city Of Pittsburg. The speaker explained
that he got the peculiar phrase which he
used as the subject matter Of his dis
course from a story by Dickens. He said
that I'm home circles "buttoned-upness"
was sellshness; in social circles. exclu-
siveness; in the political word, prejudice,
and in religion--the meanest form of all
bigotry.
Incidentally, the speaker took occasion to
pour the walls Of his scorn on bachelors,
and while on this line he turned aside for
n moment to make a rap at 'naggins"
women. These he defined as the women
who could get their mouths agoing and
then go away and leave them.
DR.. Mcintyre told his audience that TO
be mated properly and to have home
with a S-year-old baby and S-weeks-old
kitten i'm II is the summit OF human
bliss. He said that after the creation
the first thing God saw which He didn't
like was an old bachelor or, rather, a
new one. Everything else had pleased
Him. Jehovah did not like the looks of
that first bachelor. although He had
made him with His own hands. "And
what do you reckon" the speaker asked,
sis His opinion of those that He sees
to-day? From a creative standpoint the
bachelor is nothing-a cipher. with the
rim rubbed out"
on the whole. we rather concur IN the
Doctors views, but possibly the sitten
and the baby which he suggests are the
very things which make bachelors timo-
rous about entering the matrimonial
state. He should have offered better
domestic bait than this in his pleas for
welded life.

Hon. w. 4. Jones.

In electing him to Congress for the fifth
consecutive time the people Of the First
District Of Virginia have conferred upon
Hon. w. a. Jones the most distinguished
honor ever conferred by them upon any
man. so far as we can recall. and in doing
so they have simply paid n just tribute
to one Of the purest. ablest, and best
statesmen of modern times From
close study Of his political record, made
closer a part Of the time by personal as
ISOLATION with him, we claim 20 know
something Of his work as a representa-
tive I'm Congress, and ii Is this knowledge
which has always made us proud Of him
and which prompts us TO congratulate
the people most heartily upon the wisdom
of their recent choice. In point of ser
vice. Mr.. Jones enjoys the distinction Of
being the senior member i'm the Virginia
delegation, and although doubtless des-
tined To be victimized by Boss Reed
who despises his courage and ability, 1t
is safe to say that in the next Congress
he will keep his position among the most
conspicuous members of that body. In
n word. 80 prominent and popular figure
has Mr. Jones become in the poll
ties Of Virginia, that We seriously doubt
II the people will permit him 10 serve
i'm the lower house longer than the term
for which he has just been elected. They
will call him up higher. Certainly they
ought TO.
