out the old-tIme scctionalism if at
the same time a new and worse
sectionalism were encouraged which,
under the name of reciprocity,
singled out the industries of the
South for sacrifice in order to i'm
prove our trade vi h Cuba.
President Have"reyer of the Sugar
Trust is very candid on this point.
1t has been reported for some time
that the trust was one of the chief
parties behind the Cuban recipro-
city proposition. This is confirmed
in dispatch published elsewhere.
Mr.. Havemeyer is stirring up the
Cubans in support of reciprocity
and urging them to demand, not
simply reduction in the duty ON
Cuban sugar imported into the
United States, but absolute free
trade in that product. The ex-
PLANTATION IS given that the trust has
bought up the Cuban crop, and if it
can import this sugar into the
United States free of all duty,
tthere's millions in it,"

''Two Mormon elders, B. F. Stewart anc

hands of masked mob in Har, County.

business for the church, which they had

claim their attention.
1.-The two elders were getting ready to
leave Bowersville for Atlanta, expecting to
start in the morning. The night before a
band OF masked men armed with shotguns
and pistols went to the Shirley home and
called the two elders out Elder Stewart
responded, and asked what wanted.
Sc we want you,' was the reply of one of
the band. we have had enough of your
Mormon teachings around here, and you
must get out.

to a representative of the Constitution, I'VE
left the house and went with them. They
took US off into the woods some distance,
me twenty-five lashes and Elder Zundel
fifteen lashes. They held parley first and
finally decided to let off with 4 whipping.
Then they told us to get out of the county

have been treated thus for years
past in half the States of the Union
in the Southern and
Western States, though only SO be-
cause they have been most active
there. The people of Ohio, In

Tennessee, Georgia-and every
where else, for that matter--have
their own social and religious es-

lieve in them, find them suited to
their wants, and do not propose to
have them disturbed or even chal-
lenged by outsiders. Usually,
though not always, they stop short
of actually numbering the mission
aries, but, as the Journals article
shows, they resort to very stern and
strenuous methods to the end of
what they regard as self-protection.
Some men would rather be shot to
death outright than fogged to the
brink of the grave and otherwise
subjected to heart-breaking humi-

Sectional Reciprocity.

Times Democrat.
The recent resolutions of the
Louisiana Sugar Planters Associa-
ton against the proposed recipro-
city with Cuba have attracted the
attention of a number of Southern
papers, which realize. how much
sectionalism there is in the measure.
ssThe Louisiana Sugar Planters
Association has scented the danger
in the proposed Cuban arrangement,
which may be taken as an illustra-
ton Of the whole subject" says the
Atlanta Constitution, commenting
on this matter. 'tCuba needs ma
.ch1nery, the raw material and the
workmanship of which is domiciled
in Pennsylvania. Cuba's most
prominent export is sugar. Will
Cuban sugar be admitted into the
United States free in reciprocity for
the importation into that island of
Pennsylvania machinery? If so,
what will become of the cane sugar
business of Louisiana, Georgia and
Florida7 Are tbs cane growers of
this section to be sacrificed for the
advantage of the rovelty makers of
Connecticut? In this case we would
not have the aid of the Sugar, Trust.
which would be concerned IN the
development of Cuban sugar to the
neglect of our own immense cane
area"
The Constitution sees in this
proposition the best evidence of
sectionalism, but the destruction of
the South's sugar industry through
reciprocity in the interest of Eastern
manufac turers is not the only danger
to be feared. Once the principle is
established that reciprocity can be
used to foster one section at the ex-
pense of another, 1T would become
UNIVERSAL, and the South because of
Its political weakness, that is, its
lack of strength in the Republican
organization, would see its various
industries surrendered or discrimi-
mated against to strengthen and
bolster up those of the North.
Sectionalism is the greatest evil and
danger of this country; but there is
no form Of sectiOnalism worse than
that which would financially and in
dustrially favor: one part of the
country at the expense of another.
The Constitution points out how
absurd it would be to praise Nc

tions for the efforts made to crush

d Republican (Ind.)


Joseph Lawrence, member Of
Parliament, and recently in the
United States, made the following
statement in substance to the New
port (Eng.) Chamber OF Commerce
Thursday:
He told his audience that Charles Nj.
Schwab assured him that the steel trust
could deliver steel bllets in England for
$40. 50 per ton, whereas the lowest price
for which British manufacturers could make
them was $40. MIR. Schwab also informed
him, MIR. Lawrence said, that, when the
trust had completed certain ocean transport
tation arrangements now pending, the
American price would be still lower. In
addition to this statement, MIR. Schwab
ca lied the attention of MIR. Lawrance to the
fact that his steel workers got double the
wages paid British workmen in the same
line.
The trust is now charging Amer
lean consumers from $40 to SGT
a ton, that being the price at Pitts
burg. The freight charge from
Pittsburg to England would be
very considerab BILE item, and still it
is said the trust could lay down
steel bille,s there at SI6.5 so and not
lose anything--at least this is the
plain inference to be drawn from
Mr.. Schwab's alleged statement.
The extent to which the American
consumer is bled by the trust thus
appears to- be far greater than COM
monty supposed.

Tom Moore's Cottage.

Literary Era.
No troubadour perhaps ever lived in
more houses than sweet.voced Tom"
Moore aud his excellent Bessy." And
No one ever left more traces Of his per-
sonnlity in the unvary'ng characteristics
Of each new nerle that invited.
He loved to give n merry utterance TO
the lines of Pope.
"a little cot with trees a row,
And like Its master, very low
But although he preferred a cot "very
low" he always sought It on a hill. This
Is true not only of his brief soiourn In
Philadelphia, when he tramped through the
Belmont woods to the knoll OF trees and
honeysuckle atticcs that shade his house
on the schuylkIll's banks. but OF even the
I.alln Rookh cottage. The Derbyshlre
dwelling, however hid under one hill and
looked down another TO the pellucId glim-
mer Of small stream.
Moore scanned all nature with eyes wide
open 10 the miracle of life, and then
grouped In zone silent spot amid the hills"
all that he found worth living for.
"oh hint to the bard. tits retirement alone
Can hallow his harp or ennoble Its tone"
or his ideal he wrote;
"And one dear home-one saving ark,
Where loves true light at last I've found
Shining within when ali was dark
And conifortless, and stormy round"
From such a spiht-healing nook the Glow
cot on the Schuylklll looks out upon the
country side. Like the poet Wordsworth,
Thomas Moore delighted TO stroll with a
book and pencil in his hand. He found
not only sermons In stones. but rugged
desks for his manuscripts. II is not prob
able that he wrote many verses indoors
when he reached the solitude OF the schuyl-
Kill lodging. The four rooms into which
the cottage is divided are most tempting
