MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
Child Was Hit BY Train and
Hurled SO Yards--Was Not
Even Injured.

Bridgeport, O.. May 16.-A four-year-
old child Of David Bone, a well-known
man living at Lansing, two miles west
of here, had miraculous escape from
a terrible death yesterday afternoon.
The youngster strayed away from
home and finally landed on the rail
road track, where It played, all un-
conscious of danger.
A passenger train came whizzing
through the hamlet at its accustomed
speed, and the engineer did not see
the tot until too late to check the
train. Everything possible was done
TO stop the train, but to no avail, and
when the engine hit the child the lit
tie body was hurled through the air
a distance of nearly 80 yards.
The train was stopped and the pas
sGngers and crew found 1t little the
worse of the shock. The parents were
overjoyed to find the child had es-
capped a horrible death.

led by a letter from Secretary Hay.
The secretary in transmitting the
agreements, made no comments upon
them.
The Nicaragua agreement pro-
vides for the lease Of a strip of land
which shall be ten miles wide. while
a canal is in course of construction,
and afterward be shortened to six
miles. The price stipulated in $6,G00,-
Geo. together with an annuity of $685..
0c0, a nominal sum, intended merely
to serve as a material reminder of Mic

preserve peace and good order within
the belt. No provision, 1t is stated,
is made for the judicial administration
over the canal belt.

power to send either her military or
naval forces, or both, into the canal
belt to protect it, and to fulfill the
guarantee Of sovereignty over the belt

Holiday Shopping.

Christmas crushing incidental to Christ
mas shopping will soon be upon u.s. The
advice come early and avoid the rush Is
especially appropriate in the holiday sea-
son. 1t would be to the advantage OF buyer
and seller If holiday patronage could be
extended over a broader period than the
few days Immediately preceding the great
festival It would be better for the buyer
to avoid the rush because the goods would
be fresher, the stock less broken. there
would be more time for examination and
conclusions. and less danger OF error in
making change and in delivering goods.
The seller could devote more time to pa
irons. Less merchandise would be taken
by shoplIfters and fewer purses would be
snatched and pockets picked. The articles
lost by shoppers in the Jammed stores and
congested streets on the eve OF Christ mas
constitute considerable Item. There is q
great strain on clerks during the holiday
shopping days and nights, and this strain
could be light ened If buyers would be
thoughtful.
With many persons the reason for belated
Christmas buying is that salaries for the
month are paid on the day before Christ
mas. Another reason is that many per-
sons are not moved by the gift impulse till
the holiday spirit pervades all things. Then
again other shoppers go late because they
think the much-handled goods will be sold
cheaper. This Is quest ionable economy.
The wise buyer will get in ahead Of the
great rush.

ADOPT the Amendment Now.

The fact that it Is now practically out OF
question to secure final action on the pend
ing change date amendment in season to
permit It to affect the inauguration IN 1910

but an excellent reason for immediate &C

make the matter an item of urgency. This,
however may be regarded as too optimistic
an outlook.
With Congress acting concurrently this

The South's Slim Vote.
From the Richmond T1mes.

From the Richmond Times.
We have already referred to the lisa,t
vote polled during the last election in The
states OF Alabama and Mississippi. The
same is true Of the ase of Louisiana. The
total vote cast in that state was "a, 265, or
about one-sixth of the number OF votes to
which the state Is entitled. That Is to
say remarks the New Orleans Times
Democrat, that about one out of six of the
persons who can vote under the constitu-
tiona1 provisions took the trouble to nav
their poll tax, get registered, go to the polls
and cast their ballot"
That Is a distressing exhibit for any
state to make. 1t Is true that there are
very few political cont ests In these DAYS
in the south, as the democrats have mat
ters In their own hands, but 1t Is a most
unfortunate state of affairs when the peo-
pie OF any state are so Indifferent as this
to their elections. II the people do not take
lively interest in public affairs they may
be sure that the politicians will take an
interest and will run things to suit Them
selves.
1t Is a great privilege to be an American
citizen and to have the right to vote, but
this privilege carries with 1t a great re-
sponsibility and the citizen who does not
recognize his civic responsibility and dis
charge of duties as citizen puts a very
low estimate upon his citizenship. But It
is very hard to get men to take an interest
in politics when there are no contests and
It is more and more apparent that the great
need of each and every southern state to-
day Is a strong respectable minority party.

day journalist like Mr.. Watterson, but they
are wondering about the omission OF that
word only. Does 1t signify much coming
from 30 high a source? Has Mr.. Cleveland
changed front? The great majority Of the
men who twice elected him President OF
the United States lay great stress on that
word only. They do not feel that they
make themselves entirely clear in discuss
ing the tariff unless they both employ and
emphasize 1t.
1t is hardly necessary to point out the
difference between the two propositions. All
tariffs are laid primarily for revenue. The

plishes that result. but at the same time

tariff laid TOR revenue only would carry
with 1t the principle that the government
has no authority to collect dollar by such
means for any other purpose but revenue.
Protection would be outlawed. 1t would
have no place in such scheme Of taxation
So that the word only when employed IN
that connection IL Of great weight. Why
did Mr.. Cleveland omit It?
One of the advantages to be gained by the
republicans from a discussion OF the tarsn
question at this session of Congress would
be the forcing of men in both parties to
declare themselves In the light OF present
day conditions Whose opinions on the sub
ject were changed by the Gorman-Wilson
law, and to what extent? Whose opinions
have been changed by the extraordinary
success of the Dingley law, and to what
extent? How many democrats who ever
shouted for free trade are now convinced
that protection is sound policy? And how
many republicans who advocate protection
as a means Of building up industries would
continue 1t In given case after the indus
try had been established and had grown
so strong that 1t not only controlled the
home market but had conquered the mar
kets of the world?
