Lowndes died when but forty years old.
He was regarded as an American
statesman. His picture is not striking;
but represents a rather weak face, and
yet he was of superior capacity. In
Jared Sparks Memoirs of Fifty
Years. he writes of him, and it is a
very high tribute coming from such a
scholar and author, president of Har-
ward college:
William Lowndes. after Clay, exer-
cised more influence in the house tina
any other man. He had been elabor-
ately educated and improved by foreign
travel, extensive reading and research.
AS a belles-lettreS scholar he was even
superior to Mr.. Randolph. Very re-
firing and modest in his demeanor, he
rarely obtruded himself upon the house.
When he did. it seemed only to remind
the hou of something which had been
forgotten by his predecessors in debate.
Sometimes he would make a set speech.
When he did it was always remarkable
for profound reasoning and profound
thought. His impression upon the ma
ton had made him the favored candi-
date of every section for the next pres
ident. n it is not, perhaps, saying
too much, that. had his life been spared
he and not John Quincy Adams, would
have been elected president in 1924"
When he died in his prime distin-
guished men paid striking tributes to
his memory. 1t is stated that "the
eulogies upon him of Hamilton, and
Archer and Taylor are among the most
beautiful of such efforts. Hamilton de-
clared that his wisdom was equalled
only by his moderation, that he had
less self-love and more se1f-denial. than
any other man he had ever known"
1t is we'll to publish this book that
the memory of a most remarkable
southron should be kept green.

The United States census for 1900
gave over 5000. 600 inhabitants includ-
ing territories, Hawaii among them
with its lepers. The increase in ten
years showed about q per cent which
is high for such q great country. But
this empire can provide for 500, 00o. 900 IL
they work the lands and keep GU OF the
cities as much as possible. The British
census for 1901, has Just e taken and
in day. England and Wales have
80. 525, 716 people. and the gain in a de-
cade is 1915 per cent. Scotland shows
rain and Ireland loss. The entire pop
ulation of the British kingdom is esti-
mated 1t something less thar AZ, O00. 900.
The New York World says that bear
ing in mind that during the last ten
years the United Kingdom has con-
tributed by emigration nearly LOCO, 900
to the censuses of other countries, the
fecundity Of its people appears to be
undiminished." Yes. but it is now re-
ported that the conditions that threaten
natives in New England also threaten
the nobility and higher classes in Old
England-a steady elimination of num-
Der of children.

The Cuban planters are represented
to be now in a very embarrassed, dis
tressing condition. They are over
whelmed with debts, and are grooming
under obligations now overdue. 1t is
said that a former member of the
American commission is to make an
examination of the laws of the Stand.
He says that independence or annexa-
ton is a question of but secondary i'm
portance in view of the actual state Of
affairs as to obligations OF debt, etc.
Mr.. E.. L. Cromart, the member re-
ferred to, says this after nearly three
years residence in Cuba:
1T may be interesting for those who
have time for it to theorize and specu-
late as to the future political state of
the island, but the man of business
who is acquainted with the eed of
the island is confronted with important
and pressing commercial problems.
In the order of Importance, the ques-
ton which comes first for consideration
by this government is the treatment
of the farm mortgages. During the
war the plantations of Cuba were heav-
lily mortgaged. 1t was clearly impossi-
when due after the war had ended.
BILE for the planters to pay these debts
They were given an extenson of time by
executive order"
That order has expired An extension
is asked for until 1st III next. Pro-
estimation but increases the debt he
says.

A DARK AGE OUTRAGE N THE
NORTH.

Would you believe it possible for a
man of respectable character to be put
in Jail in any state in the American
Union because of a refusal to pay a
war AXE of 81. and to be kept in Jail for
twenty-one months? But that is just
what has happened. and it happened
in the great. rich north. and it hap
GUS New England. Connecticut. the
former scene of Blue Laws. is the scene
of that monstrous %iniquity and outrage.
This is fact. Mr.. Carter refused to pay
for conscientious reasons a tax of 81,
levied for military He re-
garded the end sought as evil, and
rather than violate his honest, earnest
convictions he would be Jailed and re-
main jailed indefinitely. He is indeed
a martyr to conscience, and it is an
eternal disgrace to the little state that
inflicted that penalty. and tina can per-
NIT such outrages to exist. We copy
from an editorial IN he Baltimore
sun:
The Ansonia authorities evidently
have no respect for a man Who refuses
to put money into their war chest.
They promptly sent Mr.. Carter to pris-
on and there he remained q months
rather than help the American Mars in
his conquest of the Philippines. Final
ly he was released without paying b.
fine. the authorities concluding that he
was a man of unconQuerable spirit who
would spnd the rest of his life in Jail,
at the expense of the town. rather than
help Uncle Sam to annex territory to
which he a no moral right"
Mr.. Joshua T. Small, of Provincetown
Mass. publishes the ccoun of this
most grave outrage in the old Boston
Post. He thinks Mr.. Carter a hero,
who has won a notable victory over
tyrants. and commends his example to
all men who are opposed to war" Sup
pose" writes MI. Small, "a million mel
in the United States had aid with Car
ter, we will go to Jail before we pay a
military tax is it conceivable that Mr..
Mckinley could have securedSa00. 0Oa. 600
to wage an aggressive war against our
brown brothers 10000 miles away?
Speed the day when millions of men will
prefer going to Jail rather than spend
their time in producing wealth to be
used in numbering their fellow-men on
| the field Of battle"

Closing of the Colored Schools.

On yesterday the Williston and Pea

In the morning the Williston school
gave a very creditable entertainment
at their building on Seventh street, and
last night at the Opera House the Pea
body school gave a remarkably n en-

entertainments reflected credit upon
prinsipals n the teachers, and the ex-
ercises were witnessed and enjoyed by
not only the friends and parents of the
school children, but by the school COM
mittees of both districts. the county
superintendent, the city superintend-
ent and the supervisor and othed pub

The programme rendered at the Opera
