SATURDAY. FEB. 2, 1901

JUICE w. B. COUNCIL OF wautauga
County, North Carolina, ordered the
sheriff to buy new set of Bibles, one
for the white and the other for the col
Oree people. He announced that he
would not permit white people to kiss
the same book the colored people
used.
Thank Con judges OF his stripe are
rapidly disappearing aud white men
more liberal are coming to the front.
When he takes an oath to recognize
the civil aud political equality of all
men before the law, which necessarily
implies duty to ignore the color OF q
mans skin and then he proceeds to
violate that oath, it is OF little me-
ment whether he swears by q new b.
BILE or al old one. It's perjury just
the same.

activity in the January options on the
Cotton Exchange yesterday. The open

OPPOSING BIG SALARIES.
Mine Leader Mitchell Satisfied
With His Compensation.
VICE PRESIDENT LEWIS, TOO.

The Leading Omcers OF the United
Mine Workers, BY Their ArEu-
naents. Defeated an Amendment In

indianapolis. Jan. 30.-The constitu-
uonal amendment presented to the
convention of the United Mine Work.
ers of America at the afternoon ses-
sion yesterday providing an increase
IN the salaries of the national officers
provoked a long argument and result
ed In the salaries remaining as they
were last year. Members of the com
mittee on constitution recommend the
adoption of the amendment, and after
long debate Presider- Mitchell said:
Gentlemen, am not here for the
purpose OF making any grand stand
plays. l work for the miners because
you pay me, and because l like to work
for you, but l am free to say that IL
you did not pay me / would not work.
The salary paid me is very fair, and
II 1 thought the organization did not
pay me as much as deserved would
quit. l would strike. BY all means do
not let the advancement of any in
diVidual rise above the interests Of the
united Mine Workers. II you think
the raising OF my salary will deprive
any man, woman or child of what is
due them, then for Gods sake do not
raise it,
Vice President Lewis. who would
have received liberal increase under
the proposed amendment, said:
IF l did not think I was getting a
fair salary l would strike, too. Per-
sonally l think an increase in the sal
aries of the national officers at this
time would work an injury to the or
ganization. There are people in the
unorganized districts who are always
looking for an opportunity to injure
the mine workers union, and the ar
gument is advanced that the officers
are getting bigger salaries than the
men can make in the mines. There
are people working in the mines Of the
country today who, unfortunately, we
cannot drive out when we want to en-
force demand. For the reason that
the order might be injured by a salary
raise at this time l am opposed to the
measure"
The power to order q general strike
or suspension of labor in the mines
was yesterday taken out of the hands
OF the national officers, who have
heretofore had absolute control In this
particular. An amendment to the con-
stitution make IL necessary to call to-
gether the district presidents to take
action upon general strikes

CONCERNING ZINC.

Galvanized iron is iron coated with
zinc to prevent its rusting.
II is computed that over csc, ooo tons
Of zinc have been produced in Poland
since the industry first commenced.
During the year ending June 80 last
Jasper county, Missouri, produced zinc
and lead worth $5,3ss, 629.
The production of zinc constitutes
one OF the oldest and staple industriea
OF Poland, Having been followed since
1915. In that year only 40 tons were
produced, which had increased to $500
tons in 1898.

But the TINES shows that Mr.. THoM-

says:

gumept from any source for the repeal

But the remedy which he suggests
would not be elective. The only way

party in the south 10 TO eliminate, for
time at lsnst, the Negro vote This.
l IN our opinion, W0u q be the greatest
| possible boon TO the black man, His
right to vote has 6oue him no good
but only harm, and he would have
been Tar better OF all these years with
out it,"
The argument OF Mr.. THOMAS and
these white southerners against the
Negro is the same logic used by G eat
Britain towards it's American colon
lists. Nay more, it Is the same advanc
ed against the Beers and by the Amer.
lean authorities against the inhabi-
tsnts OF the Philippines.

basement Of the American citizenship

pect some kind friend to cage Us and

between two young ladies to gain
favor in the eyes of the young man in
question, says the Detroit News.
Everyone was having a glorious
time when dispute arose between two
pretty misses over kiss which had
been given to,o one of the young ladies'
by the black-eyed young man. How
the kiss came to be administered is not
stated, so it is not known whether 1t
was stolen. At any rate the rival miss
became enraged in an instant, and de-
manded retribution from the favored
young lady.
What could the poor boy do? Well,
he did about the same as any ordinary
young man would do under the cir
cumstances. OF course the entire par
ty had become interested, and was
watching the outcome of the dispute.
The young man had one thought run
ming through his brain, and that was
how he was to console the injured feel
ings of the young lady. Acting on a
sudden impulse, the young man walked
forward and placed sweet imprint on
the lips of the sighted miss, much to
the surprise of the guests. 1t is said
to have had the desired effect. The
party resumed its usual festivities.
Several of the ladies, it is asserted,
went into a discussion as to whether
or not kissing is sinful, while others
were making "goo-goo" eyes at the
young man, and evidently thinking
how grand it was to be popular.

Considering what protection has
wrought for the industries and trade OF
this country and how we'll it is serving It's
purpose at this moment, it is not wise 10
make haste to do anything that may I'M
pair its efficacy. Why not continue to
enjoy its benefits until there is some EVIL
dence that they are waning from cause
that would be removed by modifying It's
application? Republicans must keep
faithful guard over what they have
achieved for the country, and not be EN-
tced from their vigilence by those who
have always opposed their policy.
Orr first consideration must be Amer-
can industries and the trade that depends
upon their prosperity. To part of the
fabric should be impaired or imperiled.
Thus far we have DO difficulty in finding a
market for our surplus. The only outcry
is made by other countries into whose
markets we are pushing our way They
cannot afford to exclude our goods for they
need them. What they really fear is not
our tariff but our power of production,
which they cannot curb by mutual con-
cessiCns.
We may have occasion to enter into
arrangements for freer interchange in some
Quarters. That will be a matter for care
full consideration with reference to our
own interests and not those Of other ma
tons. Whatever is done must be done
with care by the friends of protection, who
will see that its safeguards are not weak

full tide of prosperity, why should we
quarrel with its prime cause at the instl'

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
Something New Under The Sum-"

All doctors have tried to cure CATARRH

dry up the mucuous membranes causing

CARRY MUSICAL CLUBS.
By n Clever Turning Arrangement
Chicago Policemen Change
"BiIIies" Into Flies.

The monotony of travelling beat
has not been able to drive from the
souls of all Chicago policemen the love
of music. The airs straining for utter
ance would not be denied, but the reg
ulationS are strictly against lumber
ing up the pockets with musical in
struments, says the American.
A way has been devised to meet the
situation, however, according to Chief
of Police O'Neill. He said:
"There are several men on the po-
lice force who have transferred their
clubs into musical instruments. A few
whirls of the turning machine and the
thing is done. There are men on the
Chicago police force whose musical
abilities entitle them 20 consideration,
and among them are a few who can
handle a fife with the best Scotchman
that ever blew pipe"
"Does the boring of the billy not
injure it as a weapon?" the chief was
asked.
"Not at ALL" he said. 81 cannot say
that it improves the value of the club,
but no great harm is done. And the
officer seems to value the club more,
too"
