News has just reached Selma from Benton of a killing that occurred there a day or so ago. Benton is small town on the Western just across the Dallas line. It seems that there was well-to- do negro living in that neighborhood by the name of Lawrence Mauh. He owned considerable property and had severaI negro tenants employed under him, to whom he advanced money to make crops. This has been a bad year for both landlords and tenants and not many ne- proes who have had to get money ad- vanced to them have been able p pay out. It was this way with MaulVs ten, ant, and as he had a mortgage on all that he fellow had, he proceeded to taKe poasession.

THE DOWNWARD PATH.

In Cincinnati, a day or two ago, a
grief-stricken mother, depressed and
respondent because of the weight of
shame and sorrow, occasioned by the
conviction in the police court of that
city of her wayward son, she had to
bear, jumped from the fourth floor of
the tenement house in which she made
her home and was almost instantly
killed.
This sad case is an object lesson to
the extravaganza and dissipated-and
criminally careless youth of the CEN
fury. Not all mothers who are broken
hearted because of the actions of I'M
worthy sons take the method of seek
ing relief from their sorrows and
shame adopted by Mrs. Zech; the great
majority of them, on the contrary, liv-
ing for others than themselves, con-
tinue the battle with existence and I'M
happiness until the end. Their fate
is not to be envied above that of the
woman who threw herself from the
window OF her tenement home.
How little the careless boy is accus-
toned to think of the pain he brings
into the life of his mother! How easily
he forgets the sufferings she has en-
dured on his account: how tenderly
she has watched over his infancy and
early youth; how willingly she has sac
rificed herself for his pleasure and his
advancement; how cheerfully. if need
were, she would lay down her life for
himl Absorbed in the pursuit of sense
less pleasure he forgets not only the
lessons he has been taught at her knee,
but the sweet and tender teacher her.
self.
He forgets it all, and with a smile on
his lip that conceals, while it does not
cure, the bitterness in his heart. he
follows the downward path to it's GER
tain end. And when it is all over, If
the grief he has brought her has left
life still in her body, there is a broken
hearted mother to stand above his bier
with the wish that she had died for
him.

at Chattanooga, of a rule which per-
mits descendants of Confederate sol
diers, who did honorable service dur
ing the war of secession, to become as
sociate members of the camp, indi-
Gates that the veterans themselves are
beginning to realize the time must
soon come when their mantle will fall
upon younger shoulders.
The United Sons of Confederate Vet
Grams is a powerful and fiourishing or
der, with camps in almost every city
and town in the Southern states, and
many throughout the North. 1t is
designed to perpetuate the principles
and defend against aspersion and mis-
representation the motives and conduct
of the fathers of its members. 1t is
doing worthy work well. The Chat
tanooga camp of veterans, however,
has reached the conclusion that the
cause which all these kindred organi-
cations represent will be better served
by admitting the sons to the councils
of their sires. thus permitting them to
gain close and intimate acquaintance
with the facts, an acquaintance drawn
from listening to the personal narra-
tives of the men who, in the midst of
battle, played a part that was near

The number of the old heroes is rap
idly decreasing. Every year there are
fewer of them to answer present" at
the roll call of their camps, and more
who have passed over the river" and

The perpetuation of their names and
the upholding of their principles inn
plies no disloyalty to the union The
country has no more patriotic citizens
than those of the South, and in it's
time of stress and need no drawer or
more willing defenders. The events of
the past few years have demonstrated
that this can be said without the fear
of successful denial. The fact that
the cause for which the fathers of the
present generation of young men of
the South fought and died is honored
and revered will not diminish the re-
spect and love entertained for the
country and its flag in the South.
1t is a worthy trust these sons of vet
Grams are assuming when they take
upon themselves the burden that their
fathers have borne. 1t is. moreover
a patriotic duty they should not neg
lect, for in keeping alive the glorious
memories that are their heritage they
honor themselves.

"Sidney's voice." says the Sidney
Record, a newspaper which doubtless
knows all there is to be known con-
corning the voice it mentions, has
made itself heard throughout the
length and breadth of the federal
union. That is no small achievement,
and we congratulate Sidney, the Sid
ney Record and the voice, comments
the New York Times. Curiously enough,
though, when we endeavored to remove
our humiliating and culpable ignorance
in regard to what Sidney is and where,
we found it a difficult task-difficult
that is, considering that the voice of
Sidney has been heard throughout the
length and breadth of the federal union.
Our search was finally rewarded,
however, and though there is probably
nobody else as ignorant concerning Sid
state that it is a village in this state,
that is has $500 inhabitants-if it
hasn't a few more or less, and that. ac-
cording to high authority, it is TWEEN
ty-three miles by rail northwest or
Walton" The position of Walton, we
assume, is twenty-three miles by rail
southeast of Sidney, but this may be
a mistake, and we give it merely as a
guess, not as a fact.
These prelininaries settled, so far as
circumstances permit, it is time to re-
veal that the Sidney Record modestly
and yet firmly claims to have original
ed the plan to give Admiral Cervera
a loving cup at the expense of the
American people, or, as it would prob
ably say, of the federal union. This
surprises, but does not astonish us.
1t surprises us because we had rashly
placed the responsibility for that plan
much further away from Walton than
twenty three miles northeast by rail,
and much nearer home, and it does not
astonish us because the plan, come to
think of it,. is just such a one as might
be expected to be devised in just such
a place as Sidney. There is rustic
sentimentality in it, a well-intentioned
absurdity. an innocent but irritating
tactlessness, that should have told us
that its birthplace was far, far back
in the Hinterland, and its parents the
patrons of the crossroads store.
It's all plain, now that the Sidney
Record has spoken, and we join 1t in
denunciation of those near neighbors
of ours who, simply for the sake of
being queer, have been exploiting the
loving cup scheme as their own.

! The President and many of the Re
! publican leaders are beginning to real
| ize that their party has got to do
something to satisfy the growing de-
mand for a revision of the tariff. They
don't want to open UP the tariff ques-
ton. because they are afraid that their
party will lose strength, whether the
protective system is partly abandoned
or rigidly adhered to. If 1t should be
abandoned to any considerable extent
the chances are that the protected
trusts would cease to contribute to the
party's campaign fund, and If it should
be adhered to a large percentage of
the Republicans Of the West would
leave the party, because in that sec
ton, as has been pointed out a num-
Der of times by Congressman Babcock.
there is a strong and growing senti-
ment against protected trusts. The
people say they cannot understand why
they should be required To pay more
for trust goods than these goods are
sold for in foreign markets. The
President, and those Republican lead
ers who agree with him that some
kind of tariff legislation is necessary,
do not know exactly what course to
pursue, but 1t seems that they have
about come to the conclusion to try
reciprocity treaties.
1t is evident, however, from the re-
ception the Senate has given such
treaties that they are not going to
have much success with them. The
President and his advisers may be
agreed that our commerce can be ex-
tended by reciprocity treaties better
than in any other way, but the difficult
~ is in getting the Senate to ratify
such treaties. 1t is wellknown fact
that Mr.. Kasson, in the last few
years, has negotiated a number of
these treaties, nc one of which has
been ratified by the Senate.
And why has the Senate refused to
ratify them? Mainly because in order
to negotiate them ii was necessary to
give something for what we received.
The Senate's idea of reciprocity APP
pears to be that this country should re-
ceive all of the benefits and give moth
ing in return. AS a matter of fact, the
interests in this country adversely af-
fected by these treaties have been in
fiuential enough to prevent any action
on them by the Senate.
The question which presents itself
is this: Will not the adversely affected
interests always be strong enough to
prevent the ratification OF reciprocity
treaties? OF course it is impossible to
answer this question with any degree
of satisfaction, but, if we judge from
what has already taken place, the out
look for treaties of this kind is far
from encouraging. Still, it seems that
the President and his advisers have
decided upon them as the means of
satisfying the demand for tariff revi-
sion. 1t can be stated with a great de-
gree of certainty that there will be no
genuine tariff revision until the Dem
ocratic party gets control of the gov
eminent.

1t is said that one reason for the re-
tirement of Charles NJ. Hays from the
presidency of the Southern Pacific
Railroad, was his policy of divorcing
business from politics. In carrying this
out he fired several men who had been
largely instrumental in securing
concessions for the road and in lobby
ing railroad bills through state legis-
latures. Mr.. Hays could not see that
they were valuable as railroad men
and he let them go. That their value
was recognized by those in control of
the system is evident, or said to be ev-
ident, from the fact that he has now
been permitted to tread the path of the
employees whom he discharged.

In our appreciation of the benefits
and advantages to the world which
electricity has brought, we are prone
to forget that the advantages are at
tended by a series of tragedies, rang
ing in gravity from a slight shock to
a single person to an accident involv-
ing the loss of many lives. 1t would
seem that legislatures,s state and NUM-
cipal. cannot be too careful in surround
ing the grant of electrical franchises
with every possible precaution that will
tend to preserve the safety of the cit
izen.
