A Troublesome Question.

There is a very radical difference
of opinion between Republican
leaders as to what tariff concessions
shall be made to Cuba. Some of
them say that there shall be no
concessions, while others favor max
ing such concessions as will enable
the Cuban planters to sell their
sugar and tobacco in our market at
a profit, though not very large
one. Those who are opposing any
concessions are the ones who OPP
posed making concessions to the
Philippines. twill be noticed that
they had their way in the matter.
No concessions were made to the
Philippines, the full Dingley rates
being imposed on importations
from the islands. 1t is the under
standing that the sentiment in ia
vor of concessions is much stronger
among the senate Republicans than
among the Republicans of the
house. According to Republican
senators, what will be done is this ::
A bill will be passed making re-
auctions on Cuban sugar and to-
bacco to take effect when the gov
eminent of Cuba shall reduce it's
duties on American machinery,
-four and other articles which find
a ready sale in the Cuban market.
1t is expected that the Cuban
government will be established be-
fore the bill becomes a law, and
therefore will be in a position to
take advantage of it's provisions at
once. 1t is important, of course,
for the Cubans to get access to our
markets on liberal terms at as early
day as possible. Cuban planters
are now grinding their cane and
making sugar. Their crop will be
ready for market by May l, or
sooner.
There is an undercurrent of talk
in Washington to the effect that
when concessions are made to Cuba
there will be also concessions made
to the Philippines. The products
of the latter will be dealt with as
literally as those of Cuba. 1t would,
of course, seem to be unjust to the
Philippines to show more favors to
Cuba than to them.

without q waste of the powers of
self control. He claims that the
almost superhuman brain effort
put forth today must be followed
by exhaustion and degeneration of
the races.
There is no doubt that there Is a
certain amount of truth in both
| of these theories. 1t is pointed out
that the only remedy for the latter
lis for the overwealthy to throw
away their deep interest and dive
down into physical effort and relax
their mental strain. We believe
this is suggestion that ought to
be well considered by the Ameri-
can people. AS for the former, it
seems to US that the lower classes
should be speedily educated to that
plane where they will realize the
pernicious effects of crime and
wrong doing, and learn to abhor ID.
That class in society are bound to
rise, and the slower the progressive
step is taken the more unaccount-
able they can be held for their acts.

Crime and Morality.

1t is shown by statistics that
crime is increasing in some of the
largest cities of the world among
the young. Alcoholism and phys
ical degeneration are held to be
mainly accountable for this, but a
prominent lawyer, Henri Robert,
attributes the increase mainly to
compulsory education. He asserts
that meager instruction forces the
lower classes to undergo only a suf-
ficient amount of education as to
awaken their immature and cor
rupt minds to the inequalities OF
society, thereby transforming a
formerly contented class into a
restless body that have little. care
or respect for the property rights of
others.
On the other hand, Nordau is of
the opinion that wealth and So
ciety threaten public liberty and
morality, for it is not possible for
man, he says, to have the means
of satisfying every wnim and Ca
price, whether for good or evil,

Zewadski Denies Interview.

Mr.. Zewadski, of Ocala, has come
out with denial of the interview
which the Tampa Tribune recently
published, in which it was stated
that there was an understanding
between Congressman Sparkman
and Mr.. Zewadski that, should the
former become a candidate for the
United States senate, he, Zewad-
ski, should be the preferred candi-
date for the house from that dis
trict.
Congressman Sparkman having
denied that there is any such un-
derstanding, Editor Stovall, of the
Tribune, confirms the interview by
members of his staff who heard 1t,
and also by reputable city official
of Tampa. This rather throws the
blame for a prematurely loquacious
statement upon the Ocala poll
tician, who probably did not fore
see the predicament the publica-
ton of such statement would
place him in. Altogether it is a
very regretable affair, but such
things will happen sometimes in
the best of regulated (political)
families.

Senator MaII0ry's Denial.

The Kissimmee Valley Gazette
says that Senator Mallory GER
tainly owes the people of Florida
an explanation of his vote against
the Nicaragua canal treaty"
The information given by Broth
er Vans-Agnew was probably CLEAN
ed from a dispatch which first ap-
peared in the New York Sun, whose
Washington correspondent spoke
unadvisedly in regard to Senator
Mallory's position and action in
this matter. Over his own sigma
ture Senator Mallory brands the
statement as false, and makes the
following explanation, which will
set the matter right before his Flor
ida friends and constituents:
"Have always favored Nicaraguan
canal. Wrote report while men,
Der of house of representatives that
provided for its construction, and
am as earnestly in its favor as any
man in the country.
Opposed this last treaty because,
unamended, it is as Objectionable

FlOrida's PrO-Cathedral.

At the Christmas service in st. Luke's
Episcopal church at Orlando Bishop Will
liam Crane Gray, of the diocese of South
Florida, announced that the vestry of
the church had surrendered the care of
the parish to him, and that ne had taken
charge of it under the cathedral system,
the church to be known hereafter as the
cathedral He will appoint dean
and such other clergymen as he may need
to carry on the work of a cathedral.
The new system means that Orlando
becomes the bishops see, and that from
the pro cathedral will be handled the
many missions of the Episcopal Church
of South Florida. This will involve the
employment of number of clergymen
and daily service in the church. This
marks great advance in the Episcopal
Church in South Florida, and is an i'm
portant step for Orlando.
The year just past marks the passing
away of a number of very prominent per-
sons. Among the royal line who have
died are Queen Victoria, the DOwager
Empress Frederick of Germany, the
Ameer of Afghanistan and ex- King Milan

SMITHEE'S SUICIDAL SHOT.

Little Rock, July 5.-Col. J. N. Smithee, one of the best known news paper men of this section, committed suicide some time Friday and his body was found this afternoon.
 Col. Smithee is known to have gone to his room yesterday afternoon in the Merchants Hotel. Nothing more was seen of him. This afternoon the chambermaid went to his room for the purpose of attending to her work and found the door locked. This was reported at the office and aroused the suspicion of the clerk, who at once notified the authorities.
 Chief of Police McMahon and a party of officers and others went to the hotel and, forcing their way into the room over the transom, were as- founded to find the veteran journalist dead with pistol grasped in his hand. He had fired the fatal shot into his right temple and had evidently been dead about twenty four hours. A 32- calibre weapon was used.

DROWNED IN VILLAGE.
Thirteen Year Old Son Of Thomas Sconyers Drowned Sunday After noon In Village Creek Near
 Murphy Bridge.

Johnnie Sconyers, aged 13 years, the son of T. J. Sconyers, a we'll known and respected planter, living east of this city, lost his life Sunday after noon by drowning in Village Creek, one mile below the Murphy bridge, at what is known as the Russian ford.
 The boy in company with two or three other young fellows about his age, had gone bathing in Village and young Sconyers was crossing the creek on a.log when he slipped and fell into a hole of water about feet deep. Not knowing how to swim and his companions being too young to rescue him, he was drowned at once. About three quarters of an hour later his body was recovered by a diver and was buried Monday.

A WORD TO THE KNOCKERS.

Here is one that is being passed around by the newspapers that is applicable to all towns. "There is no reasonable excuse for man living in a town if he doesn't like it. If you have no word of commendation to say for your town, it's institutions or it's people, emigrate. You won't stop the course of events by going away, neither will your carping criticism cut any figure if you remain. The church bells will have the same mus ical ring; the dogs will play just as briskly, the fish will bite just as well and the pure air and sunshine will have the same health giving proper ties. Speak a good word for your neighbors if you can; if you can't don't everlastingly enlarge on their faults. If you have become thor oughly sour and disgusted and can not see any good in your town, move away; go somewhere where things suit you"

COFFIN CONFIDENT OF CHANGE.

Hon. Charles Coffin of Walnut Ridge while in Little Rock Saturday, gave out the following interview to Dem ocrat reporter, relative to the inn provements to be secured by Hoxie from the Iron Mountain:
 "We are preparing to take advan- tage of any of the boom that may come to us through the establishment of the Iron Mountain division at Hox- ie. Of course that goes to Hoxie, but it is all in one community, Hoxie be- ing only mile and a half from Wal nut Ridge. There was not sufficient land at our place for the purpose, so General Superintendent Cotter went to Hoxie, where Mrs. Boas gave the road all the land needed, ninety one acres, for the roundhouses, repair shops, office buildings and yards. It is a strip $50 feet wide by two miles long. Work is to commence at once, and MT. Cotter thinks it will be com pleted within ninety days. About $10O,O00 is to be expended there. Grading is now being done at Pied-. mont, and the force will come from there to Hoxie, and give the city an increase of at least 1000 people in ten days. The new division will be just below the crossing of the Frisco and the Iron Mountain.o

HOME TEAM WON AGAIN.

The Newport boys on Saturday afternoon again demonstrated to the aggregation of drummers, that they could put up a far better game of ball than their opponents, by defeating them in a score of 30 to IF.
 The Newport boys have way of winning the game in the first inning, at least in taking lead that cannot be overcome, which destroys interest in the game and makes the players careless for the remaining innings.
 Robert Randy, a pitcher in the em- ploy of Augusta this season, twirled the ball for the drummers. A ball from his hand does not lack speed and though he was hard to hit, he was just as difficult to catch and his wild
