CHURCHES AND scHooL-uoUsEs.

The interior walls of churches. school
houses and all public halls should never
be coated with anything but the durable
and pure Alabastine. So evident has this
fact become, that hundreds OF tons are
used annually for this work. The genu-
Inc Alabhstine does not rub or scale on.
II Is cleanly during the long period OF It's
usefulness. Every owner OF a building
should use II. Ask your paint dealer or
< for card OF tints, and write for
free copy of our Intel esting booklet to
Alabastins Co, Grand Rapidn. Mich

Reject THE JUST AS GOOD"

The dealer who tells you that ne can
sell you the same thing as Alabasttne
or "something Just IA good" either In
not posted or Is trying to deceive you. In
Offering something he has bought cheap
and Is trying to sell on Alabastine's de-
mands. he may not realize the danger to
himself as well as to you. Beware OF
all new substitutes. Dealers risk a
suit for damages by selling and consum-
ers by using an infringement. Alabastine
Co. own the right to make and sell wall
ooatings adapted to mix with cold watar.

A Mocking Philistine.
From the New York Evening Post.


As the war in South Africa is apparently nearing
its term the Associated Press correspondent in Ma
Mia starts up to remind us that have war of
our own. Our Philippine war began seven months
before the Boer war, and we wager that President
Mckinley would give an elegantly bound copy of
his car platform speeches to any man who would
guarantee that the fighting in Luzon would be over
in seven months time after it has ceased in the
Transvaal Just when Lord Roberts is having the
happiest kind of time in Bloemfontein, receiving
the surrender and the allegiance Of the Free Stters
General Otis reports that Manila after American
occupancy for nineteen months, is 1.-The most
troublesome centre in the situation" Now why is
this? Why must hear of active rebel reorganiza-
tom in several provinces? Why have we to learn
of the municipal Presidents under our rule CON-
hitting acts of treason and perfdy?" What is
implied in the assertion that travel between the
towns garrisoned by the Americans is becoming
more dangerous?" One might say that this is
"anarchy," did he not remember that the wise and
good men who took the islands did it precisely TO
prevent anarchy. Therefore. 1t cannot be anarchy,
but what it is we wish some good imperialist au-
thorty would explain. No pessimist need mutter,
no Mugwump sneer, no little American peep; but
Just let a vOciferous patriot of the order of the
screaming eagle get up and tell us about the
present situation In the Philppnes-just what
1t means how he likes 1t and how long this sort
of thing is going to last.

The Lead Trust.
From the Philadelphla Record. Monday.

From the Philadelphia Record, Monday.
In a letter printed on another page Of today's
Record Mr.. George A. Macbeth, the greatest lamp
chimney manufacturer In the world shows how the
Lead Trust, by the aid of the tariff sells lead for
$40 per 100 pounds in New York and for $3.50 in
London-a difference of So per ton. Mr. Macbeth
does not discuss his own affairs in public Had he
done SO he might have said that his concern the
Macbeth-Evans Glass Company. consumes about 40
tons Of lead week, or 1000 tons year. Hence on
this one item his company must pay $4,000 a year
more than is paid by foreign rivals This tribute is
forced from his company by the Lead Trust. 1t is
enabled to do so because our Government protects
1t. or. as Mr.. Macbeth says, "keeps OFF any COMPETE
tors" and enables It to dictate prices to protected
Americans.
Another important item in the manufacture of
glass is soda ash. Four years ago soda ash was SELL
ing at so cents per 100 pounds. The manufacturers
got together and fixed the price at IS cents. They
sell only through one agent twing & Evans. of New
York;, and the tariff enables them to maintain this
price, although it costs to make soda ash only Sc to
81 per ton. Lumber for packing boxes is another
very important item to the chimney manufacturers
The tariff keeps out Canadian lumber and is devas-
tating the forests of Michigan and other States.

For the Democratic Advocate.
Four Terms of School.

Much has been said, and q great deal less has
been DONE in reference to the fourth term of school
in Carroll county. Quite number of appropria-
tons have been made for the general welfare Of the
higher class of professional men, but nothing seems
to be accomplished for the general educational
welfare 1t does seem strange, indeed, that Carroll
county must remain behind in the line of educa-
ton. Why can we not have the pleasure of enjoy
ing the same liberties as our neighboring co untes
Are we not as industrious? Are we not as properly
civilized? Surely we must be lacking of some
thing. We. as Carroll band of teachers, ought to
encourage this measure not only for our own per-
sonal interest but for the interest of our own dear
patrons All things must have a beginning, SO let
us begin at once and take up this duty of ours
teachers
How can we see our people left standing alone
with only three TERMS while other counties around
us have four?
If the people of our county do not pay as m UGH
taxes as any other county then are satisfied, but
we know more about our own affairs than all that.
We are confident of high taxation and little or no
accommodation. As has already been stated no
man who is d teacher can support not even a small
family at the rate per term he is receiving.
Should we have better advantages surely we
would have more teachers who are capable OF con-
Quoting good Elementary School. Even If Carroll

HONOKAA DIVIDEND.

SAN FRANCISCO, February 13.-The
bubonic plague at Honolulu has been a
hardship to some Of the Sugar planta-
lions, because of the inability to ship
sugar. At last advices, however, re-
lief was at hand. In the meantime one
of the companies having a transfer Of
fee in this city deemed it prudent to re-
duce the last dividend from 95c to 25c.
This was the Honokaa. AS the divi-
dend is payable on the list, the Stock
Exchange announced the payment of a
dividend of 35c on the list. Since then
news has been received from the home
Office of the dividend of 25c. Vice Pre-
sident POLITE of this city is confident
that this matter will be adjusted when
the next dividend becomes payable on
March list. Mr.. POLITE is authority for
the statement that the dividends of the
Paauhau are to be reduced from S5c to
i5c. Yet in the face of these local dis
turbances it is said that the outlook
for the sugar trade at the islands is
unusually good
