commission to be appointed
for term of years or for life by
the president, representing both
political parties. President
Roosevelt who is an able man and
in the main correct is not infal-
able in judgement. Because a
man is capable of holding the
highest position within the gift
of the American people it does
not prevent him from making
mistakes. Presidents have in the
past and they will continue to do so
as long as they are human. We
may be wrong in our judgement
on the question of tariff but we
gladly accept this opportunity of
giving our reasons for the posi-
tion we have taken and still
maintain that "the presidents
recommendations favoring a
tariff commission should be taken
with a grain of salt The re-
publican party has maintained
successfully for more than forty
years that prosperity is secured
to the people of the nation
through protective tariff, rather
than from i tariff that has for
its object revenue only. The
operation of the laws providing a
protective tariff bears out the
soundness of the principle. AT
no time in the past sixty years
has the country been under a
protective tariff that the manu-
features did not enjoy good
business and were able to furnish
employment to labor at renumer-
alive wages. AT the same time
the farmer had a demand for his
produce at fair prices, and al
departments of trade were active.
Prosperity has been enjoyed in
large degree by all classes.
The reverse has been true il
days when free trade laws pre-
vailed Tariff for revenue not
only depleted the national treas
ury but brought financial ruiz
and MISERY to the masses.
Striking illustrations are present
ed under the administration o
buchanan in 1856 to 1860 ant
under Cleveland from 1892 t
1896. Should the question o
tariff be left to commission
chosen from the republican an
democratic parties at the best tn
rule that such a commissio
would agree upon would be
compromise between protectio
and free trade.
For that reason we are oppose
| to the question of tariff bein
submitted to such a commission
The republican party has prove
its ability to handle the questio
of the governments finances fo
the best interests of the peopl
when in power and has mac
such notifications from time I
time as the conditions required
We further believe that with IL
matter left wholly in the hands ,
the chief executive and congress
such changes as may be best wi
be more speedily effected by COZ
J gressmeu who receive the
authority of the public than fro
a commission appointed by II
chief executive and whose tenu,
of Office is for term of twent
or more years. Let the govern
ment of the people ever renal
as near as possible in the hant
of the people and we can not ha,
a bad form of government vel
long at one time. Take the col
troll of the tariff out of the pow,
of congress and you will thu
, take it out of the hands of IL

to one young colored man, who answered
it satisfactorily. That section is as follows;
''The exercise Of the right of eminent
domain shall never be abridged, nor so
construed as to prevent the General
Assembly from taking the property and
franchises of corporations and subjecting
them to public use, the same as the prop
erty of individuals; and the exercise of the

abridged, nor so construed as to permit
corporations to conduct their business in

Another Partisan Act.

The registrars for Jacksonville District
on last Friday, Saturday and Monday
turned, down a number of white Republi.
cans at this precinct on the understand
ing clause We were surprised that they
would do this, as most of the men who
were refused were good, honest citizens
and some of them could read and write.
We deemed it positive violation Of the
pledge given by the Democratic leaders
and the men who made the Constitution,
that no white man should be disfranchis-
ed. But the registrars claimed they were
registering men under or by the Constitu-
ton and not according to the promises
and pledges Of their party. So they went
on DISTINGUISHING white citizens, ,as well as
colored, because they could net explain
sections of The Constitution to the satisfac-
ton of the registrars. This went on until
Monday afternoon, when Mac Williams,
the most densely ignorant man in the
community, and mental weakIing, pre-
sented himself to the registrars and was
promptly registered. He was given the
10th section of the Constitution for inter
probation. 1t is as follows:
"The legislative power of the State shall
be vested in a General Assembly, which
shall consist of Senate and House of Del
egates."
Everybody who knows Mac Williams
knows that he cannot interpret or define a
single word III that section. A short time
before he went into register he was asked
by Democrat who the Representative
from Tazewell county was, and he could
not tell. He was then asked what Rep
resentative was and replied it was some Of
fcer, the sheriff The same day that Will
liams was, registered his neghbor, William
Vandyke, all honest white man, who can
read and write, and is accumulating prop
erty, was turned down on the" understand
ing clause" Williams has been a pro-
nounced Democrat, Vandike a pronounce
ed Republican. OF the num- er of white
or colored men refused registration at this
precinct none are as ignorant as Mac vii,
liams. The registrars cannot expect any
thing else but 10 have thelfarness aud in
tegrity of their work called In question
when they register Mac Williams under
the understanding clause" and refuse to
register white Republicans who are vastly
his superior in intellect and character.

BRYAN TALKS.
Roosevelt Should Be Commended for
Efforts TO Settle Strike.

Lincoln, Neb., Oct.-In a statement
made this evening, w. J. Bryan says
President Roosevelt should be commended
for his efforts to settle the miners strike.
He suggests, however, that since the
operators decline to arbitrate, the presl'
dents hands are tied and urges him to call
an extra session of congress. Five
measures, Mr.. Bryan says, should be
raised for passage. Summarized, these are,
in Mr.. Bryan's language:
"a law establishing national board of
arbitration, consisting of three to five
members to consider and report on all
controversies between corporations en-
gagged in interstate commerce and their
employees; a law abolishiDg government
by injunction; law that will discriminate
between the natural man by the Almighty
and the corporate giant, created by
legislation; law taking the tariff off coal;
a law which will prevent railroads engaged
in interstate commerce from operation
coal mines, except for the purpose of sup
plying fuel for their own engines
