the Republican party magnificent contri-
buttons to its campaign funds.
Hides were on the free INST for twenty
five years-from 1872 to 1897.
In 1890 william Mckinley. then chairman
Of the ways and means committee. was
besought to restore this tax, but declined
to advocate that policy. He was influence
ed to this course largely by James G'
Blaine, who wrote him letter pointing
out in a very impressive manner the bur
den that such a tax would put upon our
own and the bad effect that such duty
would have on our trade relations with
South American countries with which we
hoped TO build up large and profitable
commerce.
Mr.. Dingley when he formed his tarln
bill OF 1897 yielded to the cattle trust ana
put the present duty on hides.
We do not and cannot produce In this
country either the quantity or the variety
Of leather that our shoe manufacturers
need. But the duty on hides increased the
cost OF both domestic and imported leath-
er and increases the prices of shoes worn
by our people OF all classes and all ages.
1t is one of the most absurd of all the
enormities of our tariff system, but there
is no prospect of getting rid of 1t under
the present regime.

THE FRENCH ELECTIONS.

The French elections are in progress
and the result will probably be a vindi-
cation of the Loubet administration. The
French electoral system is very different
from ours. The elections are held there
on Sundays and a majority of all the
votes poIled is required to elect. There
were so many candidates at the first ball
loting last Sunday that comparatively
few Of them received the requisite major
tiles.
A second ballot will be had on Sunday,
May nth, when the complexion of the
next French chamber Of deputies will be
determined.
The indications are that a good ma
jority of the supporters of the present
government will be returned. The cleo
lions in Paris went decidedly against the
government on the first ballot, but Paris
is the headquarters Of the radical and rev.
olutionary elements.
The smaller cities and the country
are more conservative and It is believed
that they will insure a victory for the
government. Among the deputies already
elected for Paris are Count Boni Cas-
tellane and two of his brothers. The count
is best known In this country as the nus
band of Anna Gould. The triple Castel-
lane victory is the first event of its kind
in the history of French elections. All the
CasteIlanes are violent radicals. France
has now. as It has always had, an album
dance of politics. and a large variety OF
political parties. There are besides the
government party, which backs President
Loubet and the Waldeck-Rousseau minis
try, Nationalist, Plebiscitaries, Progress
sive Radicals, Independent Radicals, So
cialist Revolutionists, Royalists and Bon
apartists. all of whom oppose 1t, though
they are agreed on hardly anything else
The Loubet administration has been wise
and successful on the whole and the
prospect that II will be continued in pow

The ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION.

The directors of the st. Louis exposition
which was announced for next year have
undoubtedly acted wisely in postponing It
until 1904.
The truth Is that the promoters Of this
enterprise did not begin early enough to
have It ready by 1908. It is by far the
greatest OF all attempts of its kind.
Those who saw the superb Columbian
exposition in Chicago could hardly imag-
inc that anything more extensive than
that would ever be undertaken, but the
st. Louis exposition will cover more than
twice as much ground as did the Chicago
fair and will represent an expenditure
Of more than twice as much money, name
ly over $3O.OOO,OOO.
Finding that it would be impossible to
get the St. Louis exposition in readiness
BY the time announced for its opening
Ex-Governor Francis and his associates
in this magnificent project took the only
reasonable course that was open to
them and made a statement to the public
which will be entirely satisfactory. The
delay is no fault of the management. 1t
has been exceedingly active and has ac-
complished immense results already, but
II nau q sIupenuuOuS TASK on mana ana
its completion within the time first pre-
scribed was simply impossible.
It is doubtful that II amid the present
unprecedented demand for building mate
rails sufficient quantity could
be obtained to make possible the compile
ton OF the exposition buildings before the
end OF next year.
Another reason for the delay Is that the
exposition has outgrown the limits OF it's
original designs. immense as they were.
Foreign countries have taken far great
er interest In the enterprise than was
expected. Many OF them have petitioned
for more space and longer time in which
20 prepare exhibits. The ST. Louis expo
sition will be all the grander and more
complete for the extension OF the time
within which It is TO be made ready.
There Is every reason to expect that It
will eclipse IN both size. splendor and
completeness the greatest previous
achievements on it's line.

A GRAND OLD GENTLEMAN.

Hon. Peter j. Otey, representative In
congress Of the Sixth Virginia district
who died Sunday at hts home In Lynch
burg, was honored and beloved wherever
known. He was a type Of the Virginia
gentleman of the old school, a school
whose illustrators are becoming rarer
every year.
The country is distinctly poorer on this
account. General otey was a notably gall
liant soldier, a successful business man
and a congressman Of large influence.
He delivered the address in Atlanta last
year on the birthday of Robert z. Lee
and his noble speech on that occasion is
well remembered here.
The death of such a man is distinct
public loss. His memory will be cherish
ed in Virginia where his sterling worth
and lovable character were appreciated by
the people of all classes.

A SPREADING PEST.

II has been only few years since the
potato bug made its appearance in. this
region. but he evidently came with the
intention Of remaining.
During the last two or three seasons
this pest has been more destructive than
ever before. 1t has appeared earlier and
developed IN greater numbers. The pota-
TO bug has cost the south very dearly
and fits determination would be a bless
ing to this section.
It seems. however. that the fight against
this enemy OF the Irish potato must be
carried on every spring and the earlier 1t
IS begun the better.
Many methods Of destroying the potato
bug have been tried and recommended,
Paris green either mixed with -four and
sprinklsd over the leaves. or applied in
solution. has been found effective.
The potato bug is on hand this spring
even earlier than he appeared last year
and his ravages win be more fatal than
ever before TO a very important crop II
they are not promptly checked.
A correspondent OF The Charleston News
and Courier gives a practical suggestion
70 those who are interested IN this matter
and their name is legion. Not only thou
sands OF farmers, but a host OF city folk
who tale great interest and pride In their
gardens win be grateful II they can ind
some convenient and certain potato bug
exterminator.
The statement recommended by the
News and Courier's correspondent is
stated thus:
MANY persons are opposed to the use
OF Paris green. because they believe that
unless scrupulous care is taken not to
leave too large a proportion OF poison in
the spraying mixture tie vines are injur-
ed and lie crop either destroyed or great
" reduced. while others think the poison
is dangerous. because IT is liable TO reach
the tubers. A cheap and effective spray
ing apparatus is being sold freely, and
the claim is made that half a gallon OF
water IN which a teaspoonfu1 Of Paris
green has been dissolved, viii destroy all
the bugs on 500 square feet Of ground"
This prescription is highly endorsed by
many who have tried Il. and may prove Of
great service TO farmers and gardeners.

MACON, Ca, May 5. 1902.
Editor Atlanta Journal:
Since writing you this morning have
concluded to answer the attacks made
upon my record as senator in 1880 and
1881, confined in the interview OF Mr..
Warner Hill, campaign manager, of the
Sd instant, and that contained IN the
speech of Mr.. Terrell on that day, in the
same communication, as your space and
the time of your readers will thus be
economical and can dispose Of these
gentlemen together in one effort as easily
as separately in two.
will consider now solely the attack
made upon my record as prohibitionist.
Mr. TerrelPs charge is as follows:
ain 1881 as a member Of the senate ne
(Guerry) voted against local option ana
defeated it. In 1885, as a member Of the
house / CTerrelD voted for local option
and the bill passed. I ask the honest pro-
hibitionists of Georgia which of US has
been truer to the cause of prohibition and
temperance"
Mr. Hills charge is as follows:
when in the senate of Georgia he voted
against the local option law by which sim
liar law we have III dry counties.-Senate
journal. 1ss0-S1; page 249 to 254'
Now Mr. Editor, 1 purpose to show you
and every intelligent man in Georgia, not
only that these charges are untrue but
thai the very record referred 70 SHOWS
that they are untrue and that while Mr..
Terrell has refrained from dealing with
the evidence in this record, Mr.. Hill in
dealing with II has suppressed the most
material portions Of it. and those particu-
lar portions which show that his charge
is utterly untrue. On page 249 of the
senate journal of 1881 we find the follow
ing:
''The senate took up the special order of
this day, to-wit: the report of the special
committee on temperance, bill to regu-
late the sale of spirituous and intoxicating
liquors in this state outside of incorpora
ted towns, cities and villages; to deter
mine by election the granting Of licenses
to se. such liquors within the limits of
incorporated towns. cities and villages,
ETC."
The report was favorable to the passage
of the bill. Senator Halves moved to
amend by striking out "two-thirds OF the
free-holders" and inserting "a majority

THE TRuTH OF HISTORY.

that there rests upon the people Of the

pie and the reunion OF Confederate Vet

II Is a notorious fact that so-called his

many localities of the south which con-
tain many gross Misrepresentation and
many absolute falsehoods about the peo-
pie Of this section. their principles and
the manner in which they have contended
for them.
No self-respecting man would have his

Every honest southern man will resent
with indignation any attempt to poison

cestry. There is no longer any excuse for

WOMEN WHO SMOKE.

A good many reform organizations and
a number of unorganized and independent
reformers are attacking the Increase OF
tobacco smoking among women as one of
the evils of the time.
They have much evidence to sustain
their contention.
Nearly all Of those who are engaged In
this war upon what is certainly deplora-
BILE habit are too sweeping and indiscrim-
mate in their remarks concerning it, and
doubtless exaggerate the facts in the case,
but that cigarette smoking has increased
greatly among women in this country in
recent years cannot be denied.
We believe, however, that the great ma
iotity of American women who smoke
cigarettes do so because II is a fad In GER
tain circles Of society rather than for the
qualification of an acquired taste.
This theory does not make women who
smoke cigarettes appear any more lovely,
but It does hold out better hope that a
habit which is certainly not admirable
may be generally abandoned by the fair
buffers who have unthoughtedly drifted
into 81.
We decline to believe that cigarette
smoking will ever become fashionable in
the best sense Of the term among the wo-
men of the United States.
The women of our country do not sug-
gest tobacco in any form, and they cannot
use it in any form that will make them
more attractive.
The great majority of our men are such
slaves TO tobacco that our women have
become injured to the fumes Of that weed
by association. The right of women to
adopt tobacco smoking as a retalatory
measure. or as a measure OF self-defense,
can hardly be denied. but the men gener-
ally. even those who are most devoted to
their tobacco, hope that the better part of
humanity will not yield to a habit which
has overcome the great majority of their
husbands. sons and sweethearts.
Cigarette smoking is really not a charm
ing thing in a woman.
