THAT TARIFF WALL.

When Republicans gather for the
purpose Of pointing with pride" there
must be pronouncement favoring the
continuance Of the scheme of protec-
tion Of our manufacturers. In the
gathering Of Ohio Republicans this
feature was not lacking And now the
organs rise to a demonstration of the
great benefits flowing from the Repub-
lican policy Of protecting the home
market The convention declared in
favor of tariff schedules which will
protect American labor against the
low wages paid foreign labor" And
the faithful organ points to the steady
increase of our exports of manufac-
tured goods as evidence of the value
of the tariff wall. 1t is to protect the
laborers Of this country against the
low wages paid abroad
Now If this Is so simple thing why
will not some of these organs explain
in what manner a tariff against i'm
ports OF iron and steel can benefit the
American laborer while we are con-
stantly adding to the amount of our
exports of these commodities? It is
not to be assumed that foreigners buy
our manufactured products because
they are higher in cost than those
made by the foreign labor to which
lower wages are paid. That is too pal
pable an absurdity even for a Repub-
lican organ. If we can ship our prod
ucts to England and sell them, freight
paid, in competition with goods man
ufactured by English labor working
for less wage, what kind of tariff
is needed to make it impossible for the
English manufacturer to ship his prod
ucts to this country, pay the freight

and attendant expense and sell them
in competition with our goods which
are driving the Engllshman out OF his
own market2
And when a sneer IL pointed at what
Is termed the academic phrase OF "Chi-
nese wall" because In spite OF the al
legged wall we have conquered the for
eign market for our goods, II creates
a desire for information as to the real
effect Of these Chinese walls, II Is well
known that there was a strictly "Chl-
nese wall" around the city Of Pekln'
II Is q matter OF recent history that
Americans entered PelSin against the
desire of the inhabitants, II was an
American who nrst scaled the wall
He entered and carried In his hand
the American flag, Commenting on
this Incident In the spirit OF q Re-
publican convention, II would be
claimed that the Chinese, wall had
been sealed and an American had en-
tered the city, and that, therefore, the
wall was not an obstacle but rather
because of the wall the valiant young
American rose to fame he might not
otherwise have achieved, II there had
been no wall It could not have been
scaled Therefore, 1t was clearly the
Chinese wall that created the yalor OF
the American sailor lad, II Is a strange

STIR CONTRACTORS UP"

During the horse show week Mayor
Johnson drove out Of his way several
times on his way to and from the race
track to see what was being done in
the parks, says the Cleveland World,
The result Of all this was that he held
lengthy conference with Director
of Public Works Salen yesterday rel
atlve to park Improvements that are
under way.
Charley" said he, there seems to
be an immense lot Of unfinished work
in the parks and along the boulevards.
At Superior street everything is all
torn up, and did not see any work go
ing on there when passed"
"Oh, guess everything is moving
right along" answered Salen. 81
haven't had time to make a personal
investigation but understand that
everything is moving along all right" "
'T'm not satisfied that it is, Charley, y
answered the mayor. 1T seems to me
that il this work was being done for
an individual 1t would not be allowed
to drag along this way. Hurry them
up"
"All right, III look up this work"
"See If the time limit on many Of
these contracts has not expired, have
q notion that you will find that lot

HEAT FROM THE STARS.

From experiments made at the Yer
kes observatory with an extremely
delicate radiometer, Prof Il. +, Mich
OILS has determined the relative inten-
sity Of the heat radlated to the earth
from the stars Vega and Acturus and
the planets Jupiter and Saturn. Ac-
turus gives little more than one ten
millloneth of the heat Of candle
placed at distance Of one meter
Jupiter gives more than twice as much
heat as Acturus does Although Vega
and Acturus are equal in the brilliance
of their light, the latter gives twice as
much heat as the former. Vega Is
blue-white and Acturus yellowish, or
reddish, in color, The heat radiation
Of Saturn Is less than one-sixth as
great as that Of Jupiter.

TuE PREVENTION or SKIN DISEASES.

THE PREVENTION or SKIN DISEASES.
Diseases Of the skin result from a
great variety Of causes, but as the
study of them progresses, more ana
more are found to be due to the nc
ton of some parasitic mlcrobe. Ring
worm, acne, boils, carbuncles, certain
forms of eczema, BARRIERS Itch and
many other affections are undoubtedly
caused by the presence and growth In
the skin of certain microbes These
differ in the different affections, but all
Of them must be brought from with
out in the first instance and be de-
posted in the skin, before the par
ticular disease can be produced,
It is not always possible to deter
mine how the germ Of the disease Is
, carried to the skin, but very often,
probably in the great majority OF
cases, the infection occurs In the toilet
II Is a curious fact that we are never
so careless regarding the transmission
Of dirt from one person to another
for that Is really what infection is-as
we are in the process by which we try
to make ourselves clean,
The common use by number or
persons Of the same piece of soap, rest
ing often in dirty dish, of towels,
and Of hair brushes and combs Is one
of the best possible methods of trans
mtting skin diseases. Children are
doubtless more careless In this respect
than their elders-the school wash
room Is capital clearing house for
microbes, and loathsome animal para
sites as well--but one need only look
into the Mushroom Of any hotel even
the most pretentious, to be convinced
that the grown man has but little more
hyglenic sense than his son.
Another place where diseases of the
skin and scalp are freely dispensed Is
the average barber shop. Hair brush
es, combs, scssors-more than all, the
patent hair clipper-shavlng brushes,
ra2ors, cups and soap, towels-often
only mangled, and not boiled or even
washed-sponges, powderpuifs stick
pomade, and last, but not least in their
offending, the hands Of the barber,
may all become vehicles to distribute
disease
But there Is perhaps as great need OF
reform in the home as in public places
Each member Of the family should
have soap, towel, hair brush, and every
article Of the toilet for his exclusive
use as absolutely as he has his tooth
brush; and his toothbrush should rest
upon its own dish, or, better still,
hang by itself, and not share a dish
with one or half dozen others.
This necessity Of individuality in the
toilet should be impressed by precept
and by example upon every child from
the very beginning, for the practice of
perfect cleanliness may not only pre-
vent some disagreeable skin eruption,
but also more serious disease.

HYDROGEN AS AN n.LuMrNANr.

The production of oxygen and hydro
gen on an industrial scale by the de-
composition Of water with electrolytic
apparatus in Germany has led to the
suggestion that hydrogen thus pro-
duced may find wide field of employ
ment as lighting agent. 1t is now used
for Initiating military balloons. For
lighting purposes it Is compressed in
steel cylinders. With proper burner
1t is said to be cheaper illuminant
than acetylene, the relative cost for

This country 'is buying back its Sc

the cause of the export Of gold, besides
so many billions of merchandise. They
have been telling us that tale ever

CHANGED THE CLUB LAWS.
Duties of President of the Hussars

The annual meeting of the Georgia Hus-

The principal business transacted was the
passage of a resell = that will serve to

Utility incident to the transaction of the
business of the club The resolution calls
for the organization of a standing COM
mittee' whose duty il will be to relieve
the president of the club of many of the
duties that have fallen to his lot.
Some months ago the matter of separat-
ing the positions of captain of the troop
and president of the club was agitated,
and il was determined that some action
should be taken. The report of the COM
mittee was for the retention OF the cap
tain in his position as president and for
the tightening of the duties of the pres
ident by the establishment of a new
committee.
The election of members for the execu-
tive committee of the club resulted in the
choice of Capt. A. Nee. Duncan, Capt.
j. C. Postell. Sergt. l. Silverberg and Mr..
G. II. Remshardt.
The question of wearing the full-dress
uniform of the troop also came up for
discussion, and it was agreed that, when
expedlent, the uniform should be worn
on parades on January 10, February 90
May / and July 4, and at funerals. The
Hussars feel great pride in their hand

WHITE RIBBONS PLANS.
Mrs. Webb's Appeal for Aid to Build
It's New Home.

The Woman's Christian Temperance In
ion is thankful for the mention of its
good deeds" and only regrets that the
last few years the work in the Mission
has not been equal to that of its earlier
years. January, 1898, 2,794 free dodgers and
2.O46 meals were furnished. The attend
ance at its gospel meetings was 2,8S2; en-
ployment was found for Sc men; 203 pledges
to total abstinence were taken. In 1894
4,34S lodgings and 2.2S5 meals were fur
nished, and the attendance at meetings
was 4,34S. In 1895, 1921 free lodgings and
2,O37 meals were furnished. In 1896, the
union stopped giving meals and charged
for some lodgings, but continued still to
furnish some lodgings free.
The White Ribbon Mission building has
been sod, but the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union is alive, and increasing
in interest and the members are prepar-
ing to erect building suitable for the
enlafged work they aim to develope, on
lot of 60 feet front, presented to them by
a friend of the work on Liberty street,
next to st. Patrick's Church.
The unions plan is to open a cheap
restaurant library, reading and recreation
rooms for working people, hall for nightly
gospel services, cheap lodgings for men
and women and lodgings and meals to
both sexes, without money, in return for
a certain amount of labor for which
purpose the union will establish suitable
industries. The members have some
money in the bank, though not enough to
meet the cost of bui ding. They have
some promises of aid and are appealing to
the public for financial help, that they
may carry out their plans of relief. which
the poor certainly need, and from which
the man that won't work is shut out.
The union is chartered, and its financ' al
credit is good, but it would like to start
free of debt. and contributions will be

OFFICERS ELECTED
FIRST INFANTRY NOW HAS ITS
FIELD VACANCIES FILLED.
THE ELECTION WAS FORMAL
WILLY, GORDON. KOLsHoRN AND
ELLIOTT CHOSEN.

willy Will lie Colonel, Gordon VIII
and Elliott VIII be Majors-Elec-
ton of Lieut.. Elliott Was Not on
the Doards-He was Chosen at the
Last MOment-Others Had Been
Nominated in the Usual Manner
Preliminary TO the Legal Election.
Officers Who Managed the Elec-
ton.
The legal election for colonel, lieutenant
colonel and two majors OF the First In
fantry was held last night at the Regi-
mental Armory. Lieut.. Col. T. S. WILLY,
Jr., was elected colonel. Capt. G. A.
Gordon of the Oglethorpe Light Infantry
was elected lieutenant colonel. Capt. Hem
ry Kolshorn, formerly of the German Vol
unteers, was elected major and Lieut..
Edward S. Elliott adjutant of the First
Battalion of the First Cavalry, was elect
ed major.
The polls were at the officers quarters,
and the officers in charge of the election
were Col Jordan F. Brooks, retired;
Capt. r. S. Nell retired, and Capt. ]. j.
Gaudry, retired Thirteen or fourteen
votes of the line officers of the regiment
practically all in the city. were cast for
all the nominees.
In the election of Col Wylly Capt. Cor
don and Capt Kolshorn there was no eie'
ment of surprise, for all three had been
nominated for the positions. With Lieut..
Elliott, however, it was different, as he
had never been passed upon at an officers
meeting as a preliminary to mis- election
legally. The Nominating Committee, in
casting about for an available officer for
promotion to the majority. finally agreed
upon Lieut.. Elliott, well qualified to fill
the position, and their choice was In
formally communicated to the other Off
GERS of the regiment last night. Those
others fell in readily with the plan for
the promotion of Lieut. Elliott. He was
communicated with, and expressed his
willingness to accept and his appreciation
Of the honor done him.
All the vacancies among the field ofic-
ers of the regiment have now been filled.
Within ninety days the examinations of
the newly-elected candidates for commits
sions will be held, probably in Atlanta, by
the field examining board. The study de-
manded of such candidates is such as to
preparation, as the field officers are ex-
pected to be proficient in all branches of
military regulations, law and science.
