withdrawal of capital and all those
other symptoms Of a disease that
QuireS a violent remedy. If it is I'M
wise to pay too much attention to the
various interests of the country which
ask for high tariffs, it is certainly not
less unwise to listen to nobody except
the New York importers and the news
papers which these importers control
1.-THE usual New York c1amor has al
ready begun. It Invariably in the past
has controlled the action of one of the
great political parties of the country
Now is the time to stop that, once for
all. The nation is too big to be
starved for four years and then over
fed for eight, age without end. Let rs
have a little more common-sense and
a little less epigram and fine writing
and oral eloquence in this matter of
the tariff
We would remind the Journal that
the c1amor for tariff tinkering is by
no means confined to New York news
papers that are under the influence of
importers. 1t is best to look the situ-
alton square1y in the face and to ac-
knowledge that the passion for tax
ing liberties with prosperity infiames
the brains of many men and many
newspaper located far in the interior
The country is full of theorists who
cannot control their desire to tackle
the tariff. They are to be found in
Congress and out of it, and they are
not all Democrats and free traders
either. Far from it, But it is time
that level heads and horse sense
should come to the front and sit down
hard the policy of alienation be-
tween fat periods and lean periods.
The country has, to be sure, grown
very rich since the last fat period was
installed with Mckinley and protec-
ton: but has it grown so rich that it
is tired of prosperity? If it has, we
~,
die once more, and that very soon; If
1T has not, shall keep our hands
of the tariff for some time to come
and take no liberties with prosperity.

1t would be an excellent thing if the
good sense of country noted the
world over for its practical turn Of
mind could be concentrated for a time
upon the question of taking liberties
with prosperity" There should be
more of the sort of discussion that is
to be noted in the current columns of
such newspapers the San Francisco
Chronicle, the ST. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat and the Columbus (OO Journal,
setting forth the inane folly of estab-
fishing alternate periods of prosperity
and stringency by means of tariff
changes Commenting upon the tend
ency of our people to get tired of
their riches and to revert to lean
periods through the operation OF ere
forming the tariff, the Columbus
Journal says:
we leave it to the common sense of
the American people if this alterna-
ton between plethora and famine is
not ridiculous If there is a law of ma
ture which makes it imperative that
prosperous tariff years should be fol-
lowed by lean free-trade years, as in
old Egypt, the seven fat years of regu-
lar inundation and rich crops were fol-
lowed by seven years of drought and
famine, then the country should know
it. Meanwhile, it is reasonable to
think that if the voters of the nation
would take a little though. for the
morrow there would be no occasion
for these alternating streaks of plenty
and famine.
II, now that the country has filed
up with wealth again since the poverty
and beggary and hand-to-mouth borrow
ing of the last Democratic administra-
ton, there should come the same old
alienation to a so-ca11ed tariff for rev.
enue only, then there will be the usual
tallure of business, tendency to panic

posed by both Senators E1kins anc
Scott, who stand firmly for the integ
rity of the tariff That the passage
of the measure by the senate will be
clearly defined by the half chuckling
remarks of the ultra free trade Phila-
delphia Record, which loses no oppor-
tunity to thrust knife into the yitals
of protection. In recen. issue it
pointed out that the Cuban measure
was a splendid tactical opportunity
for the Democrats, and added:
1T would be miSerably poor policy
ITO oppose a right measure to which
the faith of the nation has been com
mitted in order thereby to secure a
merely partisan advantage. No oppor-
tunity should be lost to make a breach
in the protection wall Small and mig
gardly as is the proposed 20 per cent
reduction of the 81 per cent duty on
Cuban sugar, it should not be refused

There has been no convincing proof
brought forward that distress exists
in Cuba of the character that would
warrant any relief from this country
at a definite cost and injury to some
of our own people In letter to a
member of the Republican club of
New York city, a member of the house
of representatives who fought the
Payne-Sibley compromise states that
of Republicans throughout the coun-
try thoroughly understood the situa-
ton there would be such an over
whelming sentiment against this new
proposed un-American policy as wOulo
sweep it out of existence and leave 1t
without a single Republican supporter
Referring to the reports as to the
prevailing distress on the island the
congressman quoted says that 1T is
conceded by those who are advocating
this policy that there is no distress
in Cuba; that the demand for labor
there is greater than the supply; that
wages are higher than ever before,
that at least twO-thirdS of the sugar
crop is produced by nonresident cor
poratiOnS and wealthy individual
planters whose domici1e is either the

CHILDREN AT THE CORONATION

Space to BE Set Aside in West minister
Abbey
If the earl marshal carries out his
present intention one of the most in
teresting places in Westminster alb
hey on the day of the coronation will
be the "children's corner" space
which it is proposed to set aside for
the youthful little peers and peeresses
in their own right, who, though still
boys and girls, have a legal right of
which they intend to avail them
selves-of being present when Ed
ward VII is enthroned on the E-stone
of Destiny
There are several boys in the peer
age who, owing to the death of their
father some other relative, became
hereditary legislators before they
gave up the nursing bottle, soon
after, and several little peeresses who
succeeded to their titles at imma-
ture age. These little peers and peer
esses, in their coronation robes and
coronets, it is proposed to corral in
one group, which would make pref
ty picture; but think of the possibi1i-
ties, says the New York Mail and Ex-
press, should the little folks get to
squabbling among themselves! The
earl marshal would better provide a
lord high wielder of the birch rod
to keep the children's corner in order

Birds That Trap Snakes.

In the southern part Of California
there is strange bird called the road
runner. Few birds can fly better than
this one, but rarely does he ever rise
from the ground, and then only when
hard pressed. He prefers to escape
from man or beast by running. and as
he can easily outrun the Swiftest horse
his speed saves him from all his enc
mics. The male bird is not larger
than a common barnyard rooster, and
his feathers are as gavly colored as
shose of the peacock. The hen is OF
dark brown sagebrush color. The
road runner has one mortal enemy
the rattesnake. This reptile is fond
of devouring the road runners eggs
whenever it comes across nest In the
Sageburush. But the road runners Of
ten have opportunities Of revenglng
themselves. Whenever they come
across a sleeping rattlesnake, summing
himself on a warm rock, they immedi-
ately prepare trap for his destruc-
tion. Prickly pears abound in those
regions. The road runners, generally
a pair, at once begin picking up the
spiny covered leave Of this plant and
piling them about the sleeping snake
in circle. When their work is COM
rleted they give their enemy a few
pecks to awaken him, and then retire
to watch the result. In vain the rat
tlesnake tries to escape. The ring OF
prickly leaves holds him a prisoner.
At every move he makes the spines
prick him, until at last in despair he
turns, bites himself and dies. Travel
ers often come across these circles of
dried leaves, with the dead snake in
the centre. At first no white man
would believe the Indian tales OF this
strange method the road runners em-
ployed in killing their mortal enemy,
but they have since been observed in
the act by several eminent natural
lists, who have coroborated the stories
told by the Indians.

Killed With Mortar Board.

The Augusta Herald says Harlem's
colored social circle was treated to
quite a sensation Thursday night by
the killing of one of the leaders. J.
E. Rodgers, of Warrenton, who has
been in Harlem teaching school for
about year, has for some time been
at outs with a carpenter by the name
of John Henry Pollard, who also
figures in the colored social ring.
Why the bad blood should have been
again brought to the surface is not
related, but Thursday afternoon the
teacher went to a building where Pol
lard was at work and proceeded forth
with to make the atmosphere sulphur
ously heavy. Pollard stood the ours
ing of the teacher for minute and
then picked up 1x5 board used by
plastererS, called a smoothing board, :"
with which he hammered Rodgers on
the head. The skull was injured, but
no, one thought the difficulty would
result in anything serious. Last night
Rodgers went to the home of Will
Saunders and before going to bed
complained of his head bothering him.
Still no significance was attacked to
the fight until the negro teacher wss
found this morning lying dead in his
bed. Pollard has been arrested and
held until the coroner'S jury can hold
an inquest.

Hanged by 4 NHD.

Ernest Dewly. ncgr" WHO snot and
seriously wounded Harry DOwell. L
Young white man at GuStOn. hy.. WAS
hanged by a mob at 30 o'clock Thurs
day and his body riddled with bullets.
The mob arrived here early from the
BuSton neighborhood and demanded
admission to the jail where Dewly was
confined. The jailer refused to give
up the keys and the mob battered
down the doors and secured the negro,
whom they carried about annie and a
half from town where they hanged
him to a tree. After he had strangled
to death the mob riddled his body
with bullets and then quietly diSpers-
ed. The shooting which caused the
lynching took place Thursday, Dewly
had been elected from Pickeral's sa-
loon at Custom and later meeting
Pickeral at the railroad station opened
fire on him. The shots flew wild, how
ever: and struck Harry Dowell, a by
Stander, seriously wounding him. The
negro was arrested and brought here
as safeguard against lynching.
County Judge Hagan held an inquest
on the body, returning and finding that
death had resulted at the hands OF a

The CrumDacker Bill.

The whole spirit and purpose Of rep
resentatire Crumpacker who seems to
be the champion of the bill to cut
down the South;s representation in
congress is to stir the embers OF Sec
tional hate and to create trouble. We
are glad to note that this marplot is
not becoming the hero he expected to
be. 1t is encouraging to note that
even the Republicans haying a clear
majority in both houses Of Congress,
do not appreciate his efforts to stir
sectional hate and create diScord. The
Outlook. which is an exponent Of cur
rent thought representative of the
whole country. has very sensible arti-
Gle on this subject. The Outlook is
edited by Dr.. Lynman Abbott, who is
one of the foremost thinkers Of this
day, and who reasons on public QueS-
tions without prejudice. The Out
look SAYS: 1t will mark revival of
the most unStatesmanlike and diSaS-
trous legislation which the country has
ever known: it will revive sectional
feeling in its worst form. deepen the
race antagonism and postpone the
solution Of the race problem. 1t is
impossible to solve the problem by
legislation: that truth the country has
learned as the result of the bitterest
experience. Very much more is to be
grained by recognizing the extreme
difficulties of the situation and by ap-
pealing to the fair-minded southern
whites than attempting to force poll
cies upon them which they will not ac-
cept. and which only confirm their an
tagonisms." The day has passed when
such legislation as the Crumpacker
bill can be pushed through Congress.
The business interest of the North
will not stand it.

Victim of a Pick Pocket.

The Florence Times says when Mr..
W. r. Davis boarded the special train,
Charleston bound, at the depot
recently for the purpose of speaking
with a friend, he had in his hip pocket
a leather bill book containing even
500 in bills and about Is cents in
change. An hour or more afterWard
he stepped in the bank to deposit the
money. 1t was gone. Mr.. Davis
thinks the pocket book was stolen by
parties, on the train. He remembers
that while he was standing in the
car aisle talking to DR.. Howle, Of
Darlington several men whom he did
not know joStled against him more
than once, at the time he thought moth
ing of the incident, supposing that
the men had no other purpose in view
except to pass in and out Of the car
while the train stood waiting. 1t was
rather heavy loss. Mr.. Davis makes
it public with the hope that others
may profit by his experience, and
keep their hands on their pocket
book when in nondescript crowds. :"
These light fingered gentry seems to be
numerous in these parts now. Persons
going in crowded cars should be care
full where they carry their money.

The city was given over to the dis
tingulshed visitors from the moment
they arrived at 10 o'clock in the morn
ing from Memphis until they departed
for Meridian that night, and thousands
of people from many parts of the State
enthusiastically greeted the admiral
upon the trains arrival. A parade
composed of military, civic and other
organizations traverSed the principal
streets of the city to Smith park,
where Gov. Longino extended formal
welcome to which Admiral Schley re-
sponded briefly and appropriately. At
