once cognizant of the fact that its
 artless manoeuvre is understood it
 will intermit the performance, the
 price will resume it's normal level and
 the industry go on until such time as
 it yields finally to the competition of
 the beet. But if legislation there is to
 be, this is the only kind of legislation
 to enact. It would tax the whole
 country not a comparatively few plant
 CTS, farmers and factory owners, for
 the support of our expensive proteges, and it would, if properly safeguarded by retroactive provisions requirirg own ership of the beneficiary plantation for a term of years, utterly defeat the purpose of the Trust which is to pay the price, less the remitted duty, and leave the planter as poor as before.
 There is, moreover, a good precedent for such law. This rebate would be the old sugar bounty of the Mckinley law transferred from domestic beets to dependent cane. It would be con- siderably larger; but the revenue is larger and, unlike the beet bounty, it can be definitely limited, Its object would be not to foster but gently to eXtingush the cane industry in the island. Consequently it's continuance could be set at five years. At the end of that time the beginning of Free Trade in insular coffee, with a dis eliminating duty against foreign, could be safely installed. The tropical fruit and tobacco trades, the mineral and timber resources could be developed and the diversification of pursuits which General Rivera has wisely counseled to his countrymen be accomplished. The rebate proposed would bridge the transit of Cuba from one industry to many. The time would amply suffice. Let the Trust" once be assured that the millions which it seeks in remitted duties are not to drop into its swollen surplus and it will Immediately beein to stimulate the production of the Amer ican beet and employ all it's vast re- sources to the establishment of the which 1t is now trying to destroy.

 hamlet in the interior of the state of New York They have been cleverly
 woven into a plot that is remarkable
 and attractive There is an abundance

 scenes that handkerchiefs are very
 much in evidence. Aside from this the play abounds in numerous bright incl dents and plenty of hearty fun, which cause spontaneous laughter There are
 many strong situations in the play and
 they are brought out with all the nee 1 essary force which goes to make up a 1 successful drama.

 The Christmas attraction at the Grand opera house Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday next week. a holiday matinee Christmas day, will be "The Tide of Life' It is a melo-drama of modern life with sensa tonal incidents and realistic story, and powerful new scenic and mechanical surprises, but it's plot is so true to nature that it touches deeply the audience. A young girls has been stolen from a luxurious home when child. The true nobility of her nature shines through the sordid and wicked surroundings in which she finds herself, and when at last she is re- stored to her father it is one who has retained all that is good and noble in womanhood.

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS
Weather and Crops.

NASHVILLE, Sept. 10.-Section Direc-
tor Bates report of crop conditions in
Tennessee for the past week is as fol-
lows:
Fair and pleasant weather, with
good percentage of sunshine, combined
to make the past week an ideal au-
tumn period and the most favorable
of the season for good progress in
growth and maturity of fall crops and
for general farm work. Most of the
early corp which failed to fill out has
been cut and shocked for winter stor-
age. Late oorn is advancing well to-
ward maturity.
Tobacco is ripening we'll and the cut
ting of the older portion of the crop
is in progress. The crop is reported
generally as one of the best in several
years. The damage by worms is not
reported serious anywhere.
Cotton affected unfavorably by the
rainy weather, has made rapid stalk
growth, 10 tie detriment of its fruit,
which has been shedding. 1t is open
ing rapidly, and picking is now in full
progress Some of the early crop has
been marketed.
The late minor crops are reported in
good condition of growth. Peanuts
quantities OF pea vine and millet hay,
also CROP grass, have been saved in
good conuitiCn In some sections rye,
winter oats and barley are being sown
tor winter lasture, and extensive pre-
pardtions are being made for seeding
the wheat lands, of which large area
IS intended. In many sections the large
peach crop is being dried for market.
Apples are inferior and scarce, as
rule. Pastures are fine, and stock re-
ported in generally good condition.

NEGROES HOLD THEIR OWN.
No Decline In the Per Cent. OF Popula tion
Though Whites Are Augmented
by Immigration.

Washington, Sept. 14.-Eight of the
IL census bulletins covering the popu-
lation of the state in groups by nativ-
ity, race, etc., have been made public.
They show that the decline in the pro-
portion of the colored to the total
population between 1850 and 1890 has
not again taken place. Twenty years
ago 13.1 per cent. of the population
of the United States was colored; in
1890 the percentage had dropped to
11.9. This time, if the ratio for the
eight-elevenths of the country al
ready computed holds good, the col
ored population will represent liz
per cent. of the totaEpractically a
standoff.
A statistical factor in our totals
which shows the Negroes power of sus-
tanning his numbers in the competi-
ton is that of immigration, all of
which is white. During the decade
just closed several millions white peo-
pie have doubtless come to this coun-
try as immigrants, and yet that added
to the increase from births in the
white race does not make total
which greatly exceeds the relative in
crease from birth alone in the col
Ored race.

the remarkable outburst of sympathy
in Great Britain and her colonies over

ing here. Not only has King Edward
commanded the court to go into
mourning for one week, but wherever
Il public meeting of any kind has been
held or wherever public man has
had occasion to speak, expressions of
sympathy have been heard.
In every place of public worship
yesterday, from ST. Paul's cathedral
and Canterbury cathedral down, the
preachers made special references to
the terrible event, invoking Gods
blessing upon the United States and
the American people. Crathie church
at Balmoral, whose bells had never
before been used except on occasions
of national interest, broke the Gus

Gang of Counterfeiters.

Government officers are just now
having a great deal of trouble with an
apparently well organized gang Of
counterfeiters and bill raisers. From
half dozen small towns through
Middle Tennessee. Marshal Overall and
his assistants have received reports OF
one dollar bills, raised to tens, having
been passed upon the unsuspecting, on
ly to be discovered after it was too late
to apprehend guilty parties. The
gang seems to be taking in all of the
better towns in Middle Tennessee,
gradually working north, but taking
pains not to go very close to Nashville.
So far the victims have been country
merchants and tollgate keepers,
though the raised bill passers seem to
have a spite against the latter. Four
out of five cases reported have come
from keepers of gates.

Barber at Redfeld. Kans., Who Expressed
Gladness Over McKinley's Shooting
Had to Leave Town.

Fort Scott, Kan, Sept. IA. f.
Smith, proprietor of a barber shop at
Redfield, who said he was glad the
president was shot, left Redfeld with
his family and furniture because of
q unique ostracism on the part of
the town. On the morning after he
made the disloyal utterance he was
ordered to evacuate the building in
which his shop was located. He went
home and was ordered to leave the
house which, his family occupied.
Then. he went down town to make
arrangements to move. A committee
of citizens presented him with some
resolutions adopted at mass meet
ing, forbidding him a right to the
streets of the town and ordered him
to get off of them. Time was given
him to pack his furniture and get
his family ready to move. He said he
was going to Missouri.
