The Inauguration OF Governor Hum
having been successfully accomplished,
there is nothing now in the way OF the
Legislature settling down to sulid work,
and making every remaining day of the
session count for something practical
In the way OF legislation.
1t is tue that the unsettled contests
over the Senatorships remain as dis
turbing factor, but there Is no necessity
for permitting them to interfere with
real work. IL would be better il they
did not exist, but the daily joint Sos
sion and! the taking OF one or a few
ballots need not interfere to any serious
extent with legitimate business.
There is much for the Legislature to
do. The proposed new charter for Will
mington is, of itself. matter that will
demand serious consideration, and the
question of road legislation, the anan-
cial measures from this city, the legis-
lation with respect to the improvement
of the Ohristiana River, and other sub
iects OF Like Importance, will give the
members Of the Legislature plenty to
think about, night and day.
And SO, we renew our recommends
tion that the members Of the General
Assembly do not permit the senatorial
contests to interfere with legitimate
legislative business. They can think
Of the Senatorships between times, and
make M their minds for whom they
will vote when the roll is called at the
daily joint sessions. The rest of the
time let them think of work land OF

President McBinley's motive may
have been straight, but his act in APP
pointing tho sons of Mr. Justice Harlan
ana Mr.. Justice McKenna to important
posts in Porto Rico, at q time when the
political status of the island is pending
before the Supreme Court OF the United
States, is most soandalous. 1t has the
bald appearance of an attempt to in
fluence the Judgment of two members
OF the highest judicial tribunal in the
world by a prolfer of official favoritism.
The two judges should endeayor to pre-
vail with their sons not to accept the
Presidents offers, and certainly il these
young men have any regard for tho
position of their fathers they will
promptly decline, without any pressure
being brought to bear uppn them,
President Mckinley, in view of his
crawtish attitude towards Porto Rico,
is naturally anxious that the SUPP me
Court shall decide that the island is
not territory Of the United States,
but he need not resort to the scandalons
expedient Of attending to influence two
of the judges of the court by appoint
ing their cons to Office.

Tuesday mob at leavenworth,
Kansas, broke open the Jail, took out a
negro prisoner who was suspected of
having assaulted and killed one woman
and attempted to assault another, and
taking him to the place where the muir
dered womau's tody had been found,
chained him to an iron stake and
burned him to death. A crowd of 8, 600
men watched the horrid tragedy. -, The
fact that this awful crime was oom
mitted in Kansas--a State which shed
rivers OF blood during the early battles
for the abolition of human slavery in
this country-is proof that the ferocity
aroused by these nameless crimes COM
mitled by negroes against white women
is not product of the Southern States
alone. When Bleeding Kansas" burns
a negro at the stake, such horrid
practices cannot be designated as
the exclusive product Ct Southern

COMBINE AGAINST g. s.
European Countries Would Protect
Their Markets

Chicago, May S.-"If the great trusts
in this country encroach on European
markets to the detriment of European
manufacturers predict a combination
of the commercial countries Of Europe
to raise tariffs on American goods to al
most prohibitive figures SO spoke Jules
Siegfried, Frances minister of industry,
commerce and the colonies in the cabl-
net of Ribot in 1892 and 1898, who is at
present in this city.
There is but one logical solution of
the present situation" continued Mr.
Siegfried, "and that is the signing Of a
fair and equitable reciprocity treaty be-
tween the different nations. I always
have been in favor of such treaties, be-
cause they foster trade and increase the
friendliness of political relations be-
tween countries party to them. It real

preaching trouble.

Opean powers is probable in the near
future2 Well. it viii follow after sew
eral of the countries have put up their
tariffs to protect their own manufac-
turers. You are a wonderful people and
your country is marvellous in its resour-
ces and when your competition becomes
so great as to be alarming the combina-
ton of governments will be a very nat
ural result.
Under reciprocity this situation
would be almost impossible. Take my
own country. France. for example. We
buy our steel, iron and machinery from
England, but we could buy it from your
mills just as well. Under a reciprocity
agreement between the two govern
ments we would come to you for our
steel, our iron, our coal, our machinery
and in fact, nearly all of the material
used in our manufactures and indus
tries. On the other hand we would send
you our gloves, our fine linen and lace
and cotton goods and the commercial
relations established would bring the
two countries into closer and more cor
dial political relations. 1t would be of

ANOTHER NEW MILL.
Topeka May Get One at Cost of
$4,000.


At the meeting of the Commercial
nitted to the business men of the city
to form a company to bring another
Touring mill to Topeka
A man whose name is being kept a
secret, has been in the milling business
for a. great many years. He lives in the
east, has $4,000 to invest in a nj ILL., and
will build here with that amount
whether a company is formed or not
This man has had a mill in a western
Kansas town, but it burned recently.
He dealt in Kansas hard wheat ok
clusive1y and had a large trade in the
United States and the South American
countries At the time his mill burned
he had orders for about 5000 barrels of
flour which he can yet supply If a mill
is started soon.
He proposes that Topeka capitalists
furnish money enough to form a COM
pany with a capital stock of $100, 900,
and build a mill and elevator with a
capacity of 1000 barrels of flour daily.
Topeka is only the second or third
city in the world in point of milling
interests, and the man who proposes
to build the new mill AYERS that the ad-
dftion of another mill here will not IN
the least weaken the business of the
mills already here, but will to some ex-
tent help them
1t is a fact, though not generally
known, that Topeka is one of the fore
most cities in the grain and milling
world. The addition of another mill Of
the capacity proposed will put Topeka
up several steps more towards the top
in this business.

RATES. no COUP
Between New York and All Mississ-

New York, May S.-The Journal of
Commerce says: Rail rates from New
York to Mississippi valley points will
be advanced on and after May Is. The
roads interested have established a
basis for all rail and rail-and-water
rates from New York to these points
and a tariff has already been issued by
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad which
will be used by other lines and which
shows a differential over water lines of
10. 6, 4 and 3 cents for the first to sixth
class. respectively. The new rates will
apply to all common and local points
in the Southeastern Mississippi Valley
association territory, via Cincinnati,
Louisville, Shenandoah Junction, Stras-
burg Junction, Alexandria, Ind and
Cairo III. Commissioner w. L McCarty
of the New York freight and transport
tation bureau has sent out a circular
to all subscribers of the bureau, calling
attention to the advance in rates on the
date mentioned to all points via rail
east of the Mississippi river south of
the Ohio and west of a line drawn from
Knoxville to Chattanooga and Birming-
ham through Selma and Montgomery to
Pensacola" A n citing of the roads op-
Grating in that territory will be held on

It is also learned that beginning Nav

Another announcement with regard to
freights of interest to shippers generally

AUGUSTA BURNING
Loss Of $25O,OOO and Flames
Beyond Control.

Augusta, Ga, May S.-A fire that
