GAYS, VA. Feb. 2.-Steps are being
taken to secure a local option election in
jackson District, Louisa county, and
thereby prevent, if possible, the manu-
facture and sale of moonshine brandy.
The men who make brandy in this neigh

brandy that now they are running their
distilleries> nearly all the year making
pure apple brandy from sugar molasses
and almost anything that will ferment.
The stuff thus manufactured and sold
is said to be Very injurious TO those who
are foolish enough to drink it, and seve-
raj deaths are said to have been the re-
suit of drinking this mixture The people
seem to be thoroughly aroused and de-

halt.

LIVED CHEAPLY AND WELL

]. W. Gossard, the sociological stu
dent, usually boards at the Auditorium
Annex, Chicago, at forty dollars. per
week. Last week he changed his
boarding house. to the Workingman' S
Home, in the "Levee'' district, and
liked it so well that he remained there
seven days, at a total cost of $1.15 for
lodging, bath, and three square meals
each day. He says everything was as
clean and neat as at a first-class hotel,
that the food was good and we'll pre-
pared, and while there were no Injuries
there was everything absolutely neces-
sary. The menu prices ran; Soup,
cent; bread l cent; milk cents;
coffee. l cent; lodging and breakfast,
10 cents. the breakfast being coffee and
hot rolls. He says his bill for seven
days was: Lodging and breakfast, 10
cents, TO- luncheon, cents, IA dim
ner, cents, 81: bath 10 cents, 10:
total, $1.15. This is certainly getting
things down to a fine point, and recalls
the oft repeated assertion that Amer
leans are given to extravaganza, and
that French family would live well
on what is daily thrown awy in the
average household in the United States.

TARIFF TRoUBLE Is COMING

With each passing day it becomes
more and more apparent that there is
going to be beautiful row over the
protective tariff in the coming Con-
gress. and that it will not be wholly
between Democrats and Republicans,
either. There is considerable and
ever-increasing element among the at
present dominant party that is con-
vinced that the time has fully come to
relegate the protection" idea to the
rag-bag OF things once, perhaps, of
utility. and they are preparing the way
for such legislation as shall meet their
views. Even the administration itself
Is believed to have experienced a
change of heart. and to favor modifi-
cation. This has been repeatedly as
serted of late, and has never been de-
MED, and quite number of manufac-
.urers, not especially identified with
The trusts, are also in line for revision.
rs was shown conclusively at the re-
cent session of the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers, at Detroit,
where a resolution was adopted declar-
ing that the object OF tariff legislation
should be to furnish adequate protec-
ton to such products as require it..
without providing for monopoly
abuses" That action was significant,
and is straw showing the direction
in which the wind is blowing.
The New York Journal. in discussing
what is coming, says:
The agitation for tariff reform can
not be suppressed II President McKin-
lev Z intimidated and Mr.. Babcock

NATIONAL HYPOCRISY.

The New York World says that I'M
der the recent decision of the Supreme
Court the administration is denying its
subjects free trade with their masters
and is taxing them without their con-
sent. And the descendants of the Rev
dictionary patriots and of those men
determined to be free who threw the
tea overheard in Boston harbor, have
come to this. It's a pretty spectacle.
Greater contempt for the rights of a
people was never shown in all his
tory, and yet the Republican party,
through its leaders, is committed to
that sort of thing. Rome, Greece nor
Carthage never imposed more unright-
eous things upon conquered subjects,
and yet we pose before the world as
the one nation believing in the rights
of man. The United States of America
under its present government, is a
fraud and sham. AID all mankind is
aware of the fact. Tho sooner we face
in the other direction, the better for
our standing and reputation.

sNAIL-LIKE NAVAL PROGRESS.


The new battleship Illinois. which
was to have had her trial trip last Mon
day, affords striking illustration of
the incapacity of America to turn out
such a craft within reasonable time.
while we can beat the world as to
speed in such other industrial lines as
locomotives, cars, bridges and struc-
tural work generally.
This ship was authorized exactly
five years ago on Monday but the keel
was not laid until December. 1896, and
she was launched in May 1898. more
than three years ago. The contract
date for completion was September e.
1899, and yet the ship is only ready
now. These facts are a serious reflec-
ton upon both American shipbuilders
and the government. In England
battleship is usually launched in a
year from the laying down of the keel,
and is in commission the following
year, while here, in this instance, We
take five years to it. and in the case
of the Wisconsin, built at San Fran
cisco, at least four years of time was
frittered away We ought to be able
to put warship in commission within
two years, at the outside, and if We do
not improve upon our record our ships
will wear out faster than they can be
built
