The birth of a son and heir to the
Duke and Duchess of Beaufort is an
event which will cause great rejoicing in
the West of England, where, as Marquis
of Worcester, the present head of the
House of Somerset was the most popular

the arrival of the new Lord Worcester

A Feature of Deaths.

Did you ever see a man die?" asked W.
R. Sinclair, of Chicago, at the Gilsey
House says the New York Tribune. Il
don't mean by that die natural death in
his bed, but suddenly, as the result of
either accident or intent. 1t has been my
i'll fortune to witness such an ending to
mans estate in life, and the first time it
occurred was when 1 was a small boy
l was coming down a street which ran
past one of our principal hotels. man
on a step ladder was cleaning the old
fashioned electric light in front of the
entrance, and in some way he received the
current, and it killed him deader than a
door nail. was quite distance away at
the time, but owing to the mans position
on the step ladder raising him above the
heads of the intervening crowd / had a
perfectly plain view of the accident. The
second time l witnessed an accidental
death was that of a man jumping from a
runaway express wagon. He must have
been Wild with fear, for he ran to the
tailboard and deliberately jumped out fac
ing the direction opposite to that in which
the wagon was going at the time. He
went over, striking full on his head on the
hard roadway, and lived only few mo-
ments afterwards. 1 also saw a man shot
to death while l was at Manila He at
tackled one of our sentries with a knife,
but the soldier was too quick for him and
killed him with his revolver. The one
thing that struck me, in all these sudden
deaths, was the way in which the victims
seemingly shrunk in size. One moment
there would be man in the full tide of
life, with good or ill-fitting clothing, as
the case might be- but In any case filing
1t out, and the next moment there would
be huddled pile of clothing, apparently
just as it might have been thrown to the
ground by some careless hand. The man
inside seemed to have little to do with it:
he hooked by comparison so much too
small for 1t that it might have simply
been thrown over him. l have seen a
number Of men knocked senseIess, and in
each and every case 1 have noticed the
same phenomenon"

AMERICAN GOODS IN ENGLAND.

Mr.. Osborne, our consul general at
London, says that if Americans were
aware of the extent to which American
manufactured goods are sold in England
they would be surprised 1t seems that
England is very large market for Amer
lean manufactures. American manufac-
turers who are placing their products in
England are keeping their business 70
themselves. The reason probably is that
they sell their products at home at higher
prices than in foreign countries They are
able to do this because of the protective
tariff. They would be able to do this even
If there were no protective tariff. but they
would not get as high prices in the home
market as they now get
Mr.. Osborne says that he had a talk
recently with one of the largest manu-
facturers of iron and steel in the United
States respecting the exploration of steel
rails 10 England. This manufacturer said:
I'VE have all we want to do with home
orders at present. When we want export
trade we can get it. We can bring raw
materials down to a point where we can
compete with the world"
We have no doubt that the statement of
the manufacturer quoted by Mr.. Osborne
is correct. Assuming that it is, why is it
that the Republican party insists upon
retaining the protective principle in the
tariff? 1t has not been so very long since
the president of the sugar trust said that
the tariff was the mother of trusts The
whole country is up in arms against
trusts, and vet there is no movement 10

principle in the tariff. There are all sorts
Of propositions for destroying trusts, but
for some unaccountable II ason there is no
movement to strike at trusts through the
tariff. Put the tariff on a strictly revenue
basis and there will be less reason for
complaining of trust prices.

A GAVE OF POLITICS.

What an expert practical politician
would probably call pretty game is going
on in Montana politics. The parties to it
are Thomas H. Carter and William a.
Clark. Carter is senator from the state,
and Clark is trying hard to be one. Car
ter will be remembered by the public at
large as chairman of the Republican Ma
tional Committee from 1892 TO 1896 and for
his slick manipulation of che affairs Of
that organization. He is the man who
looks like Uncle Sam" and acts like the
slipperiest politician in the business. Of
Carriers adoption of Republieansm there
is an interesting story. He was born and
reared in Ohio, which may account for his
adroitness in politics. When he removed
to Montana in 1882 he formed a law part
nership with another young fellow CT
about his age. II was found that both
were of the same political belief. That
would never do. In order TO catch the
clients "a-comin' and a-goin' Z" it would be
necessary for one partner to be a Demo-
crat and the other a Republican. They
drew lots to see which should change his
politics, and it fell to Carter 10 be the Re-
publican; and a Republican he has been
ever since.
Garter and Clark have lately been hand
in-glove at Washington, Notwithstanding
Clark is a Democrat. 1t has even been III
mored that Carter has become Clark's
right-hand man. They are seen together
often, and their conferences are frequent.
Carter has lately been looking after
int 10 40,
ate, and Clark, according 10 reports, has
been looking after Carters interests in
Montana. Apparently Carter and Clark
are working together to control the nexL
Montana Legislature, which will elect two
senators, the ostensible purpose being
to have that body elect one Republican
and one Democrat-Carter and Clark
But there are those who, reading be-
tween the lines. believe that the shrewd
Carter is really manipulating the wires so
as to trip Clark up; 10 secure the election
of two Republicans to the Senate, at the
same time making Clark pay the greater
part of the expenses of the Republican
campaign. Carter will, it is said, try 10
induce Clark to put up a candidate in ev-
cry legislative district This will call for
the putting up of a Daily ticket in each
district. Both Clark and Daily are Dem
ocrats With two Democratic tickets out
and the vote divided, the chances would be
excellent for the Republicans to come in
between and elect a majority of the Leg
islature.
This is no doubt a shrewd game, and
should it be successful would raise Carte-
highly in the estimation of his party. But,
in view of Clarks past, it is probably safe
enough to say that he is able 10 take care
of himself, even against the astute Car
ter. man able to plan and carry out the

A PHILADELPHIA LINE.

The Trades League of Philadelphia sent
delegation to the recent Industrial Con-
vention at Chattanooga to sound the
Southern delegates with respect to the es-
tablishing of a steamship line between
Philadelphia and some leading Southern
port. The Philadelphians were assured
that such an enterprise would be well re-
ceived, that it would be given all of the
patronage possible, and that Southern
merchants would trade with PHILADELPHIA
merchants and manufacturers to a much
greater extent if it were possible to Sc
cure prompt TRANSPORTATION at low rates.
Philadelphia manufactures are favorably
regarded in the South, but comparatively
little Southern trade now goes to that
city because of the lack of good, cheap
quick transportation facilities.
A steamship line to Savannah would
furnish the desired connecting link be-
tween Philadelphia producers and South
ern consumers. The railroads of Savan-
nah reach directly into South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama and Florida, and their
branches and connections gridiron the
South AS Savannah is the great South
the great inlet for merchandise to be dis
iributed in the cotton producing section.

here are so much superior to everything
else of the kind in the South Atlantic sec
ton that they stand in class by them
selves No Southern city. not excepting
New orleans and CHASING Baltimore as a
Southern city. has such perfect shipping
facilities as Savannah.
The merchants and manufacturers of
Philadelphia are said to be anxious to
have the proposed steamship line started.
If they are. and are ready to give il bus
mess, and the people of the South are pre-
pared to give it business. why should not
the line be started at once? There must
be a lot OF idle money in PHILADELPHIA
