Thought to Be Jim Brown.

A negro has been arrested in Charles ton. S. C., who is thought to be Jim Brown, who committed brutal assault upon a young lady at Springville some weeks ago. Three prominent citizens of Springville, Messrs. Manley, Fore man and Jones passed through Birming- ham last night en route to Charles ton to identify the negro. Brown at one time lived in Charleston, which leads the citizens of Springville to be- litve that the right man has been captured,

Miller's Latest Move.

Frank Miller, the noted safe blower, under sentence to hang June 18th for the murder of Policeman J. w. Adams, made another effort to save his neck. This time he has appealed to the Supreme Court for another hear ing, having retained Judge J. M. Chiffon of Montgomery in the case. Judge Chil- ton has filed a motion for a rehearing and with 1t an elaborate brief in which he reviews the case fully. Should the Supreme Court grant a rehearing it would serve to defer the execution, as a matter of course. Whatever Is done will have to be done quickly and the decision in the case will probably be forthcoming within few days. The answer to the petition will be filed by Attorney-GeneraiC Charles c. Brown.

DUE To TIE TARIFE.


In the speech to the Austrian House
Of Lords made by Herr Mauthner. pres
ident of the Vienna Chamber Of Com
merce. In which he earnestly urged a
European trade Il = a. against the
United States. there he most open an
nouncement Of foreign commercial hos
tility Yet ventured.
1t is plain that the policy advocated 10y
Germany in the first place. and now Ia
vored by Austrian sentiment. is rapidly
gaining favor. The Europeans find thcui-
selves at n tremendous trade disadvan-
tage. They cannot compete in American
markets. owing To a prohibitive Ameri-
can tariff On their products n manu-
features. The profits accruing to the
American trusts from this tariff enable
them. by overcharging the American
consumers. to grasp an additional ad-
vantage in underseliing European COM
petitOrs in other markets. The European
resentment of the high protective tariff
is. therefore, exceptionally bitter.
The time has come for Americans to
decide whether the risks of a European
trade wal are TO he accepted In behalf
of the high protective tariff. The tariffs
sole b~eneficiaries are the American
trusts, created and nov being unhealth-
lily enriched by the tariff. The Amer
lean consumer pays the tax which en-
ables these tariff fostered trusts to sell
their goods cheaper abroad than at home.
The American and producer
will have to foot the bill Of costs in the
event Of a threatened trade war. The
trusts are secure against loss so long as
they a control the policy of the United
States Government for their profit and
at the expense of the American people.
Trusts and the tariff must inevitably
be the issue of the Presidential cam
paign Of 1904. 1t will be well for the
people of this country to intelligently IN
derstand that issue. They are paying
tariff tribute to the trusts with no re-
sultant benefit to themselves. They will
have to bear the burden of a European
trade war provoked by the trusts. They
can secure the abolition of he tariff
and the proper restriction of the trust
evil by voting out Of power in this Gov
m the party Of the tariff and the
trusts. 1t is incumbent upon them to
learn definitely where their interests lie.
and hen to take political action In &C.
cordance with such knowledge.

ARSURD MIR. SMITH.

President Mckinley is. as a matter Of
course, to be commended for furnishing
proof of his respect for the American
precedent set by George Washington in
declining a nomination to a third term
Of the presidency, and The Republic
heartily joins in this commentator.
1t seems necessary to remind Post
master General Smith, however, that he
is INDUCING somewhat absurdly in mock
hcrOics when he speaks of President Nc
kinley's d~eclination as constituting an
'act Of self -abnegation." The Post
master General is allowing his personal
loyalty to get the better of the common
sense which he undoubtedly possesses.
There was no self-abnegatiOn in Mr..
Mckinley's action Of Tuesday. A few
Of his friends had put out feelers in his
behalf, urging that he be nominated for
the third term. The boom was certain
to become a boomerang. having already,
in fact, wearied and disguised the
American people. 1t was a good stroke
OF politics for the President to p~uncture
it. and he could not possibly lose any
thing by doing so. The American peo-
pie will not elect any President to a
third term.

SANE SUMMER LIVING.


Now that the summer is beginning. in
earnest. and Weather Prophet Hyatt
coming to the front with predictions Of
a long hOt spell for st. Louis. 1t will
lend to preserve health and cheerfulness
alike If folk will just be sensible and
adapt their habit Of living to the
changed conditions.
mer may be in this latitude, it is a de-
lightful season when properly met. A
life largely in the open air is at every
body's disposal. Residences and places
Of business should both be thrown wide
to whatever breezes may come. There
is nothing to be afraid of in the way Of
colds If One consistently insists upon the
chamber or wOrkroom or office is more
productive of colds than an open.
Wise persons are temperate In the
matter of food and drink during the
summer time. They do not indulge
heavily in meats. A plenty Of fruits and
vegetables should take the place Of the
more heating and stimulating diet which
is demanded in winter. Alcoholic drinks
should be eschewed. The best summer
drink is moderately cold water, not ice
cold, and this should be freely drunk be-
tween meals. Wear light and cOmfor-
table clothing. do not exercise very
much, keep in the shade whenever pos
sible, battle frequently. get regular sleep
in well-ventilated bedrooms. positively
decline to worry over incOnsequent
things-and the summer will find you
and leave you healthy and happy.
There is 10 charge for this advice. and
it Is not expensive to follow. Try the
plan thus generally outlined. and. even
il you are not able to get away from st.

climate Of Missouri Is a healthy climate.

DEFEAi THE TROLL RILI,


Delegate Trolls bill. introduced in the
House Of Delegates last Tuesday night,
granting a franchise to the Forest Park
Railway Company" which as vet has no
corporate existence, conveying the right
TO gridiron Forest Park with railway
tracks, should be ~unfavorably acted up-
ON without a moments unnecessary de-
lay.
"A blanket franchise Of this description
is not to be seriously considered. Even
If il were right to authorize the railway
gridirOning of Forest Park, the Troll
measure is not entitled to respect as a
business proposition. The compensation
which it proposes in return for the fran
chise. while larger than has been paid
for railway franchises In st. Louis in
the past. is not Ope-tenth what il should
be were the city really to convey to the
as vet un~incorpOrated company named a
franchise of such tremendous value.
Too great emphasis cannot well be
placed on the necessity for a refusal Of
the House of Delegates to favorably
consider the amazing measure fathered
by Delegate Troll. The parties or the
influences behind Mr.. Troll should he
made to understand that the day has
gone. by when neutrality-suspicious. OF
such magnitude is possible in st. Louis.
The defeat of the Troll measure. should
lie SO prompt, so unanimous and SO
emphatic as to serve notice on all pro-
motors Of schemes of this nature that
their labors will be in vain so far as
operations in st. Louis are concerned.

MUNICIPAL

With the passage by the City Council
of the two bills providing for the install
lation of municipal lighting plants In the
new City Hall and the Insane Asylum it
becomes possible for the city itself TO do
the lighting of its public buildings from
the date Of expiration Of the lighting
contracts now in force.
This means. according to the reports
Of experts made to Mayor Wells at the
Mayors request, a saving to the city of
$4,000 within live years. There is now
establishment Of these plants. and work
will doubtless be promptly begun look
ing to the Inauguration Of the new sys-
tenn at the earliest moment possible.
This achievement In behalf Of the best
interests Of the community is a signal
triumph for practical business methods
in the management Of municipal affairs.
The feasibility and the ~desirability Of
the establishment Of municipal lighting
plants was one of the first reforms seen
by Mayor Wells to be possible. and the
Mayor was quick to advocate this re-
IOrm. ne went dDout II III III cutAhcAy

would be the saving accomplished. how
the plants might best be established.
the time necessary for their establish
ment. Having satisfied himself on all
these important points. the Mayor
directed the framing of the necessary
bill. This bill, approved by the Board Of
Public Improvements. becomes a law
with the affixing Of the Mayors sigma
ture.
Mayor Wells has rendered admirable
service to the community In this in
stance. As one Of the first notable acts
OF his administration, It Is encouraging
to a degree. 1t is evident that the af-
fairs Of the city are in the hands OF a
practical and ~level-headed business man
who proposes to conduct them for the
general good, and who has the neces-
sary ability for the adequate perform
ance of such a task.
