4 Remarkable Man.

A remarkable man In many ways was
the late J. Jes Of London, whose harmless
mania 1t was when shooting pigeons to in
sist that the &c. B., V. O." (which fol-
lows bis name should b. called out BY the
attendant when 1t was his turn to COM
pete. He was one Of the best natured men
living, and consequently, whom doctor In
the Royal dragons, the high spirited sub.
slterns some 80 years ago used to play all
sorts Of practical jokes on him, painting
his dogcart white, putting the rsgimentai
goat In hia bed with Mr.. Jee's shsn Jacket
round it's body and pair Of white socks
on It's horns and greatly startling him on
his return late from London. He was
very fine pigeon shot and was the first Of
the II English winners Of the Grand Prtx
ct Monte Carlo Id 1873.

SLAVERY IS PREFERABLE.

Colored Bishop Declares Negroes
Mission Is to CivIlize Africa:
Athens, Ga, May 1.-Bishop H. M.
Turner, Of the African M. E. church,
preached at the court house here yes
terday to white people. During his
sermon he said he would prefer to see
his people, the black race, again in
slavery, since slavery afforded them
more protection than in their present
condition. He sees little future in this
country for the negro in competition
with the white race. He does not be-
lieve 1t possible 10 bring about as
similaton or equality, lacking which
there must continue to be race preju-
dices. The negro was brought to Amer
lea, he said, by divine will and taught
by example the basis of a higher
civilization. Now it is manifestly the
will of God that the negro should go
back to Africa and civlize the savage
races there. The race question, he
concluded would never be settled until
the black man ryturned to his native
country.

Ignored the Quotation.

A trust has no soul A pottery trust
has been organized. 1t sent appraisers to
the factories that are in 1t for the purpose
of fixing the value of them. One Of these
factories was owned by a good man out
in Ohio. To keep his workmon in the
narrow path he tackled up in all Of the
working rooms about the pottery quota
lions from the Bible to prove that it was
better to BIO good than otherwise.
II trust had SOUL these quotations
might have made m impression on the
appraisers, but, being part Of the soul
less corporation, they refused to even in
ciude them in the assets Of tho plant. The
owner of the pottery was taking them
through the works, and they were mark ing
down figures as they went. They came
to tho clayroom, an important depart
ment Of pottery. Over tho door Of it
was an illuminated piece Of cardboard
with this quotation:
What profiteth it a man if he gains the
whole world and loses his own soulY"
I'm that room, gentlemen" said the
pottery owner. there are 1856 tons OF clay
suppose you do not care about going to
the bother Of weighing it?'
"That Is what we are here for" said
one of the APPRAISERS, totally ignoring the
sign above the door.
They weighed it. The pottery owner
was givon credit in the trust accounts for
65 tons Of clay. The appraisers said that
was all that was in the room.-Pittsburg

WHEN educated men call meet
ing to denounce the policy of Presi-
dent Mckinley in the war with the
Philippines, what can you expect
from others, who have not had the
many advantages enjoyed by their
more fortunate neighbours. Prof J.
Lawrence Laughlin, of the Univer-
sity of Chicago, in speaking of the
national policy toward the Philip
penos, on Saturday evening, said
"There the flag is the emblem OF
tyranny and butchery.' Such Sc
ditious utterances were greeted
with cheers, showing what freedom
of speech Americans enjoy. Then
Bishop Spalding of Peoria, Ill.,, de-
clared that ENGLAND has never
been friend OF this country when
an Englshman present, a natural
lied American, rose to his feet and
pronounced the Bishops statement
a lie. Continuing his remarkable
utterances he said: ''Our capital is
fast becoming the most inhuman,
the most iniquitous tyrant the world
has ever known. Its tyranny is a
blight aud cui Sc. Our greed, our
superstitious belief in money as
the only true God and Saviour of
man, hurries us on with increasing
speed into all the venalities, dshon-
estes and corruptions, into all the
tricks and trusts by which the peo-
pie are disheartened and impover-
ished. We are hypnotized by the
glimmer and glare, the pompous cir
cumstances of wealth, and are be-
coming incapable of rational view
Of life
Then President Henry Wade
Rogers Of the Northwestern univer-
sity made almost as remarkable a
speech. 1t would do these men, as
we'll as the editor of the Every
Evening good, if they should read
their Bible, and then compare former
times with the present. The ma
jority of the people of this country
have the utmost faith in President
Mckinley and-the men who are rum
ming the Government for the people.
There is no fear of this country be-
ing governed by the militia. Good
citizens always uphold the Presi-
dents hands and do not hold meet
ings and deaounce him and the
policy which will work itself out at
the Philippines for the good Of those
heather and their down trodden
country.

its politics to-day. Mr.. James B.
Clarkson succeeds Mr.. John w.
Lawson, who has made a very eff
cicnt Police Commissioner. It re-
mains to be seen what the majority
members of the Commission will do
in regard to the changes in the po-
lice force. We do not expect to see
any wholesale changes for some
time, and it is to be hoped when they
are made, they will not detract from
the efficiency Of the force. All ap-
pointments should be made from the
ranks, We do not believe in making a
new man Chief of Police or Captain
Of the force. Meritorious work
should always be recognized.

article we have seen for some time
on the tariff, appearedin one Of our
exchanges, which we here repro
duce: -
IA tariff is a law providing for
and regulating the imposition Of
duties to be paid upon goods import
ed from foreign country. Afiscal
tariff, or tariff for revenue only. is
one which makes provision only for
the raising of money to carry on the
