They CRUSH The POWERS

This Is written in mid October. Tho long
oppressive summer is quite gone. Fading
Leaf, whitening tree and tho rustling corn IN
the fields are signs Of the season. Fog,
frost, rain, snow,--they axs coming. You
remember last winter; Of 1900 and 1901.
The weather was cruel. Ali tho thous.
ands II killed, and the hundreds Of thous.
ands II manned and crippled. Oh, the
rough grasp II laid on men at work, women
ct home, and children in cribs and cradles.
Coughs that began before Thanksgiving
Day are racking and tearing them still yes,
and growing worse as they dig deeper into
tho poor, tired throat and lungs. Many
were cured by using Benson's Porous Plas.

Of these Plasters is wonderful. They con.

LAWS.
House Committee Hears NJ. Tay.
lor on the Shattuc Measure.
FOR The SUPPRESSION OF ANARCHY.


Washington, Feb. 8.--Assistant Sec
rotary Taylor, Of the treasury depart
ment, was before the house commit.
tee on immigration yesterday in ref
erence to the bill Of Representative
shattuc, Of Ohio, codifying and ex'
tending the immigration laws. Mr..
Taylor disapproyed the provision al.
lowing the immigration commissioner
to fix regulations and make certain
appointments, as such authority was
said to belong to the secretary Of the
treasury. He said the present head
tax of 81 was sufficient and yielded
surplus. As to the proposed edu-
cational test, Mr.. Taylor pointed out
that many Of the best settlers in the
west were without educational quail
fications and that the criminal class
usually was able to pass an educa-
tional test.
Chairman Shattuc expressed EN-.
phatic dissent to some of Mr.. Tay-
lor's views. When the latter sug-
gested that the provision as to the
powers of the immigration commits
sioner should not violate precedent
and should be shaped to meet the
views OF both houses of congress and
OF the treasury, Mr.. Shattuc said, with
considerable asperity, that the com
mitttee would act on Its best judg-
ment and without seeking to meet
outside views. Mr.. Shattuc also de-
clared Is to Mr.. Taylor's statement
that there was a surplus from the
head tax that this surplus would not
have accrued had the law been carried
out and the funds used for the better.

to that high office; second, protect
the ministers and ambassadors of
foreign governments accredited to

tention also is made that it has the
highest and largest mountains east
OF the Mississippi, the heaviest rain
fall on the continent, except along
the northern Pacific coast, and that,
consequently, tho washing away of
tho soils Of the region can be pre-
vented only by keeping them covered
with forests. "The absence from
this region Of lakes and gravelly
soils, such a. abound in the northern
states and there serve to store the
rains and give uniformity to the flow
OF streams" the report continues,
renders the perpetuation of those
southern forests absolutely necessary
for the protection Of both the soils
and the streams"

OUR COURTS.

1.-THE wages of sin is Geath'' This was more
forcby shown to the people of Washington county than
this week, when, last Friday IN the circuit cour'
which has been in session the last two weeks this city
Judge Frank Lakn passed the sentence of death upon
Ashley Cooke and Tom Landerdale for the upcaed for
murder OF Engineer Rhea. With the ablest de-
that they could get the and prayers OF loving
and devoted mother and sister, the counsel and true love
and sympathy of father and BROTHER all could not wash
away the stain of fellow man IS blood upon their hands,
but showed plainly before eyes the jury that the
verdict of guilty under the oath of Cod was their only
answer and do their duty which verdict was that of ev
ery wabdng citizen that heard the testimony from the
lips of those who saw the awful deed committed
The judge, the jury, the prosecutors and the officers
OF the law in this have each done their full duty and
rendered TO the county Of Washington service that will
her honor and place her courts as an example to the
world that in them and mobs the guilty can be nm.
ishcd and justice administered.
Again, it shows it matters not whether be be srane
er or citizen poor rch the laws of the state knows no
man. and before it his life will be avenged and the punish
ment of lie slayer administered.
By plea of insanity that has saved the neck of MANY
man Cooke could not escape Through bad association
carrying gum whiskey and talk, Lauderdale was con-
vcted and unless trial is granted or the Governor
stays the hand of the law on the 21st of March, both will
be executed
1t should be lesson to the young and save many
from following into the awful abyss of crime that
hese two have headlessy plunged now to their
lud disgrace.
