(FRoN OuR REGULAR CONSEQUENTLY
Monday, April 81, 1909.

Monday. April 81, 1902.
A most remarkable spectacle was az
forded to the visitor at the Capitol last
Friday. The Senate chamber was al
most vacant, the Hobbies, usually throng
cd with visitors and newspaper CORES
pondents, were empty and even the
committee rooms were vacated, but in
House different scene presented itself.
Not only:was every member in his place,
but on the rostrum and around the walls
of the chamber sat or stood many sena
tors and every seat in the commodious
galleries was occupied. The occasion
was the final struggle in the contest
which has been taking place between
the administration republicans and that
large faction of the party which has al
lied itself to the standard Of beet sugar
and extreme protection. And yet. to
the initiated every faction appeared to
be voting against Its own inter ests and
suggested a general political hari kari
The beet sugar men were voting to re-
move the differentlal tariff from refined
sugar, an end which must prove scri-
ous'y injurious to the beet sugar inter
ests, the staunch supporters Of the pro-
lection policy. Speaker Henderson and
his following were voting to lower the
tariff and the democrats were voting for
an amendment which they knew to be
inimlcal to reduced duties between the
United States and Cuba, a policy which
they had previously described as 40
per cent conversion to their views.
To the initiated the position on the
floor OF the House, while anomalous,
was clear. The beet sugar supporters
had determined to amend the Cuban
reciprocity bill to the extent of taking
the ditferential duty off Of refined sugar
believing that by SO doing they would
defeat the whole measure, it having
been generally conceded that the Senate
would never pass the bill so amended.
The republican leaders were voting ,or
that policy Of reciprocity which they
consider that they have inherited from
Blaine and Mckinley and they were
further paying Difference to the Prssi-
dent whose strong sense of justice has
prompted him to risk censure and even
brave the danger of party discord in an
effort to fulfil the pledges which he be.
lieves his respected predecessor made to
Cuba. The democrats were striking a
blow at the profits of the Sugar Trust
and SO regarded their action consistent,
even if it defeated a partial reduction
Of the tariff.
The fate Of the bill now rests with
the Senate but it is generally believed
that 1t will not pass except so amended
as TO preclude the possibility OF the
House agreeing to the amendments
The battle for Cuban reciprocity, in
word, Is considered lost.

The popular idea expressed in the
phrase, rthe art Of self-defense," shows
the opinion that the chief enemies q man
has to defend himself from are visible
and external. But the real danger of
every man Is from minute and often in
visible foes. In the air we breathe and
the water we drink are countless minute
organisms leagued against the health OF
the body.
The one defense against these enemies
is to keep the blood pure. DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery thoroughly
purifies the blood. removing poisonous
substances and accretions. When the
blood is pure there is no harborage for
the germs of disease which find lodg-
ing only when the blood Is impure and

fatal to 1t. Were the South united on asking for it at this time 1t is probable that 1t would be adopted. We confess that we should favor its adoption. It could not be defended from the point of view of strict logic or the principles governing the appropriation of money for ordinary purposes. It would be a matter of substantial benevolence, if not of charity. There can be no claim on the part of those who fought to destroy the Union for aid in relieving the disa- bilities incurred by fighting. But it is relatively small matter. There are few of the disabled old Confederates left. There Is no danger of establishing a per- cedent in helping them. The former Confederates, as a class, are entirely loyal to the Nation now. Those of them who can are contributing their full share to the cost of government, including the enormous pension expenditures. They are maintaining at their own cost homes for their disabled comrades in their own States. The South. with all its great progress. Is not so rich as the North and West. It has worked its way up against tremendous odds against a good deal of oppression and robbery commit ted by Northern men. and 1t has done so through the exercise of the same heroic qualities that it showed during the war fortitude, energy, courage. We think that 1t would be fair and friendly thing for the party in power to extend to the South the small aid that would be re- quired for the support of the totally dis abIed veterans of the Confederate service But if the South will not have it we must respect their feeling.

IA Most Brutal Murder.

There was a most brutal murder com mitted in Frog Level beat, adjoining the city beat, about o'clock yesterday af- ternoon. Walter Chambliss. negro boy about IS years of age, without the least provocation, shot and almost instantly killed a negro child, Perry Sears. who was only or 10 years of age. Chambhss had shot gun in his hand and said to tn etlittle Sears negro: Don't you ne- lieve that I will shoot you? The little boy said: No. | don't believe you Will shoot me-" Then, without another word the negro raised the shot gun to his shoulder and fired.
 The load took effect in the little boy body, just above the heart, tearing a hole in the body about two inches in diameter. VI
 The murderer was captured by MT. Jim Townsend aud was brought to the city and lodged in jail. A negro girl about l2 years old was the only one who was near enough to hear what passed between them. but several negroes were close enough to see the boy raise the gun and fire.
 There was apparently no motive to the murder and the negro in Jail IS too bad- Iy frightened to give any intelligent req son why he shot and killed the little hoy Some think that he did not have any intention of shooting when he raised the gun, while others are of the opinion that he had a grudge against the child and deliberately shot him.
 The grand jury is now in session and will investigate the matter most thor oughly.

Gadsden, Jan. 2S.-(Special) )-Policemen arrested a negro named Holt Monday night, in a Third Street restaurant.

This was the first intimation they had that they had been robbed. The ne- gro was carried to Annston.

STILL IN THE DARK
SHERIFF GETS NO NEWS OF
 DUNCAN.
Waterways are Being Watched, as the Escaped Murderer Was Steamboat Man Before Be-
 coming a Cracksman.

Birmingham, Jan. 23.-(Special.)-Ev clue and every rumor reported to the sheriffs office here is being run down m the hopes of catching Frank Duncan, tpe condemned and sentenced murderer Wno broke Jail on Monday morning early with three other men. There is very little to be learned at the office of the sheriff con corning the situation except that these rumors are coming in fast and thick and that every energy, is being put forth in the hopes of retaking the men.
 Dye Is securely locked up In the Coun- ty iail Persistent rumors have prevailed that Duncan was in Etowah or ST. Clalr County making his way towards river. He was a steamboatman before going into the safe-blowing business and the sleuths count on his getting back to the rivers where he believes that, he could be safe. There Is much searching done in and around Attalla, in Etowah Coun- ty, and also around Village Springs, in Blount County, suspicious looking men having been seen in those neighborhoods.
 It Is believed that Duncan may work his way to the Tennessee River and thence into Chattanooga via water. He knows that it would be dangerous to work his way by rail.
 A report is out here that the wife Of Duncan came to Birmingham from Chat tanooga. It is further believed that she knew nothing of the escaping scheme un- til reading of 1t in the newspapers. Her visit to Birmingham Is thought to be for the purpose of either getting some clue as to the direction in which her husband went or to throw the officers here off the scent.
 The grand jury of the County will in vestigate the escape, as charged by Judge Greene. What is being done by that body is not known publicly. Witnesses are being summoned to appear before the jury in the matter.
 Deputy sheriffs in all parts of the Coun- ty have been advised now of the escape and extra men are being given employ ment to aid in the chase after the es- capes. Sheriff Burgin is sparing neither expense nor energy in the work.
 The grand jury has returned four in- dictments agaist A. J. Dye, one of the four men who escaped from the County jail and who was recapLured Tuesday near Argo. on the Alabama Great South ern Railroad. One of these indictments charge him with escaping. This is misdemeanor. The other indictments charge him with aiding felons to escape. The punishment in the latter cases, on conviction is from two to ten years each. Dye contends that he knew nothing of the proposed escape until asked to go along Monday morning.
