Prosperity in Free Trade.

Pittsburg PoSt.
 The Treasury Department makes public some facts and figures showing how Hawaii has prospered under reel procity with the United states. py which it's sugar product was admitted to the Pacific ports free of duty, in- stead of being compelled to pay cus- toms tax. such as was exacted on the Cuban imports. There can be no dental of the facts. Under reciprocity, or free trade, the sugar production Of Hawaii in the twenty-five years it has been admitted to the United States free or duty has increased from 25,0Q0'ooo hounds in 1875, valued at $1,216,OoO to 545. .370. 900 pounds in 1899, valued at s22 900. 900. This was entirely due to the United States opening its ports to Hawaiian sugar free of customs tax, while other producing countries esnecfally those of the West Indies. were required to pay the taxes imposed by the Mckinley. the Dingley and other tariffs of an earlier date. The pros perity of Hawaii made a r alter of of- ficial rejoicing and boasting, was en- tirely due to the maintenance Of the principle of free trade in sugar. US product in time came to supply the wants of all the Pacific States as well as the mountain States.
 Cuba and Porto Rico are great sugar countries, but they had not this ad- vantage of free markets, and as re- snlt. while Hawaii increased its sugar product from 25,000,000 pounds to 545.- ooO, 0OO. the production of the two West indian islands remained almost stationary. In Porto Rico it decreas- ed. while Cuba in twenty-nine years showed only an increase of 4b per cent while the increase of Hawaii was over 1000 per cent. l.,
 The abolition of the tariff barriers be tween the United States and Port' Rico soon to be an accomplished tact will quickly revive the sugar interest of that island, while Cuba, in assum ing an independent attitude. will seel for something of the same Kind or re | ciprocity for its vast sugar resource
 that we have granted Hawaii both be

According to The Chiffon Reflector Maplesville must be bad place. Some days ago we noted the fact that an at- tempt had been made to shoot the editor while in bed. and later issue of the paper adds this information:
 What would The Advertiser man have thought if he had been here Friday nlsnt when at the early hour Of oclock our little town was openly terrorized by two men, causing houses to be closed ana lights to be put out in every direction. III twenty yards of our office on the pubic street and on the railroad these men fired twenty-five or thirty shots in tront and around the store of Joe Damsyk, m which house wac an innocent woman, a young girl and little boy, frightened ai- most into sDasms.

 The constitution also contains this mandate to the General Assembly Tn directing that body to make various provisions effective by proper statutes- Article XVI, Section 2:
 It ,s made the duty of the General As sernbly to enact all laws necessary " give effect to the provisions Of tnis con stitution.
 The constitution also requires that "all members of the General Assemoiy before they enter upon the execu- tion of the duties of their respeotlve offices, shall take the following oath or affirmation":

 Here, then, in the Constitution IS hrs' the prohibition of passes. next the man date to the Assembly to enact laws 10 make the prohibition effective. and last the solemn oath, "So help me Goa, to perform the duties required by the con stitution.
 These provisions were put in the Con stitution of 1876 by wise men who were fresh from experience of the shameless control which the railroads had exer- cised over members of the Legislature from 1868 to 1875. Yet the State As semblies ever since that Constitution was adopted, have proved faithless tc their plain duty under it to carry out the mandate and to make the officia pass provision effective.
 State after State, either in constitu' tion or statutes, has since denounced | this great evil, and passed stern, sell | executing laws against it. Still there are some who tell us that all these States and their statesmen have acted foolishly, that the right to give passes lis sacred, and ought not to be inter- fered with in the interest of the peo' pie!

RAILROAD COMMISSION POWERS

The Constitutional Convention should pause long and consider we'll before making the Railroad Commission the absolute rate-maker for the railroads. Is there a necessity for such a step Will it be the proper remedy?

no idea or experience in CONNER
cial affairs, nor of the practical
effect Of the laws they are called
upon to pass. Many are in
fiuenced solely by what they can
make themselves or by the effect
the laws will have upon their
special constituency.
This can all be changed if hon.

to make as we'll as execute the

influence is due to the fact that he
was an energetic, practical and
successful business man before he
entered into the business of poll
itlcs, and partisan as he is he is
worth dozen of the best of our

he has had experience in the
greatest of our business interests,
knows the practical working of the
laws we have, the necessity for
new legislation and the probable
effect of such laws when passed

THE TWIN SCREW STEAMER,
Economical ana Sure Compared to
the Single Screw.
Samuel A. Wood in Aanslee's.)


Samuel A. Wood in Ainslees.)
Nearly all the famous liners OF the
world are twin screws. There are, how
ever, q few remarkable single screw ships
which are nearly as swift as some OF the
great twin screws. Notable among them
are the Cunarders Umbria and Etruria,
which were launched respectively In 1884
and 1885. They did not develop top speed
until they had been almost fifteen years
in service. The White Star liners Ger
manic and Britannia, which were built in
1874, and are, therefore, among the old
est single screws afl0at have made quick
er trips from Queenstown within recent
years than they did when they were new
The characteristics of the White Star
single screws are their steadiness and
durability. Representatives of the line
say that the Britannia will be just as
good as she Is to-day probably ten years
hence. These ships will doubtless be the
last single screws of the White Star line
The single screws are heavy coal con-
sumers, and, IN case of the breaking OF a
shaft, they are practically at the mercy
of the elements. The twin screw is COM
parativeiy economical in the use of coal,
considering her great speed. Her propel-
lers may be used to steer in case the
smashed by the slapping of the seas un-
der. the counter. There have been several
instances when, on, account Of damaged
steering gear or rudder the twin ship has
guided herself nearly halfway across seas
by her propellers alone.
THE value OF the screws as an acces-
sorry TO steering has been frequently de-
monstrated. The most notable case, in
which the Hamburg-American liner Nor
MAMMA, NOW the French liner L'Aqui-
taine), barely missed destruction by col
lision with an iceburg occurred during
her maiden trip on May "a 1880. The
bergs had been drifting down into The
steamship lane, enveloped In fog, for sew
eral weeks. Captain Charles Hebich, the
commander OF the Normannia, thought
he was steering a course far below the
perlous iceberg region. The liner was
steaming at the rate of about seventeen
knots when the lookouts on the forecas.le
saw great three-peaked ice spectre ma
terialize from the mist. Captain Hebich.
who was on the bridge. observed the WIS.,
ion at about the same time the lookouts
forward. shouting warning to the COM
mander. ran aft for their lives. The
commander shlvered a bit as he pictured
the destruction of the ship against the
wall OF ice. He ordered the helm put
hard over. Then he ran to the lever con-
trolling the signal 10 tho starboard en-
gine-rOom and signaled 10 the engineer to
stop the great machine aud reverse at
full speed. The ship swung as n she were
