TARIFF HYSTERIA.
A DISEASE ALWAYS ATTENDED WITH
BAD CONSEQUENCES.
1t Produced Widespread Woe In the
Epidemic of Seven Years Ago, and
ITS Eject at This Time Would Re
Worse Than Ever Before.


Epidemic of Seven Years Ago, and
ITS Eject at This Time Would BE
Worse Than Ever Before.
1t may be true that the Hon. Joseph
Sibley has had a rather peripatetic po-
litical career. 1t is much more to his
credit that through devious ways he
has found the light than that he should
have remained forever immersed in
the darkness of Democracy. When,
therefore, he warns the country against
tariff reform hysteria, his words are to
be taken in the light of his present
knowledge and not of his former igno-
rance. Some Democrats of the Bour-
bon type may think it great JOY to
refer to the time when Mr.. Sibley
thought otherwise, and they may
shrek themselves hoarse over proofs
of his Inconsistency, but the sensible
men will rejoice rather that the Penn
sylvanian has adopted sound doctrine
than that Mr.. Williams, his Mississippi
critic remains oblivious to the most
patent facts.
1t is true that occasionally from the
lecture rooms of universities and from
the platforms of discredited parties
there bursts forth sort of hysteria
demanding tariff reform" Our Iowa
friends had some views on this subject
which were greatly distorted by Dem,
ocrats for political effect, but the Incl
dent was of no Importance and is
closed. There is no more general de-
90 t- f,,.
the admission of Chinese coolies, and
both are equally undesirable. In this
connection tariff reform, of course, re-
fers to the nonprotective ideas of De-
mocracy. The honeyed words are used
to mask an attack on the whole pro
tCctive system. No one claims that the
Dingley bill is an inspired work or
that it is perfect, but the majority
AGREES that it is an excellent document
and that it is much better to maintain
a system even with slight imperfec-
tiOns than to do great injury to many
interests by attempting to tinker up
weak spots
In this connection it is not necessary
to do more than refer to the unfortu-
quences. AT time when the nation
was enjoying a heretofore uneXam-
pied prosperity the people went after
the strange gods of Democracy and
plunged it into the slough of despond
of 1893, from which it did not emerge
for four years, or until triumphant Re-
publicanism had restored protection as
the basis of our industrial system. The
tariff reform hysteria of 1892 produced
widespread woe. A similar attack at
this time could only accomplish much
worse situation. Mr.. Sibley is right in
his warning. Not unless the American
people forget will they allow them
selves to be carried away by this dead
ly political disease.-Philadelph In

ing within the delivery district of Of
fees supplied from routes on which pro-
posals are made Who win agree. in the
event of being awarded a contract, to
live on or near the route and give
the service personal supervision. This,
in effect, shuts out professional con-
tractors who have heretofore made bids

poor service and many complaints from
the public.
Under the contracts which will be
awarded, taking effect July /, 1904 the
free collection and delivery of mail will
be made on almost all star routes, this
will give a service almost the equal of
regular rural delivery. service; the only
features omitted being registering let
ters and selling money orders by car
rierS on routes.
In this section there are $500 routes,
with $1,000 miles of service, which, when
added to the territory in which the box
delivery feature has been introduced
will make 21,000 routes, with over $780,
900 miles of free star route box delivery
of mail, practically all star routes in
the United States. .'ts
The elimination of the professional
contractor and the establishment of
free box collection and delivery of mail
on star routes has been introduced
through the wise administration of Hon
w. S. Shallenberger, second assistant
postmaster general, who is making an
enViable record as a progressive and
able official.
All postmasters in Georgia have PAM

road depots at Savannah for four years

Men in the Warehouse Are Being
Drilled Weekly.
Fire drills at the warehouses of the
Atlantic Coast Line, on Liberty street,
east, have been revived. The en-
ployes have gotten the handling of
fire apparatus down to science and
a complete system of electric fire
alarms has been ordered and will be
installed shortly.
Once every week the men are drilled
and prepare themselves to fight fires.
There are four warehouses, and several
sheds that have to be looked after, and
in convenient places are stationed large
barrels filled with water. Buckets are
close at hand and -are never allowed
out of place. There are about a hun
dred of these barrels, and the two
score men who are work during the
day know the location of each barrel.
/, Besides this there are fire hydrants
and hose. There is also a hand en-
CINE, and the men are in a position
ito cope with a fire until the arrival
of the regular department. The fire
fighting apparatus mas been on hand
for quite awhile, but the drills had
been abandoned. Once more, however,
the men have been trained SO that in
lease of fire. they will know just how
to act. Each man will know just where
che is expected to go and Just what
1he is expected TO do when he gets
there. a estt ..--tr.s

move with rapidity when the alarm is
sounded Not until they have. reached
the warehouse. from where the alarm

really a fire. Each man knows which
barrel he is expected to go to, or
which line of hose he Is to takes charge
of; The hydrants are scattered
throughout the warehouses and yards
: Freight Agent F. B. Papy is pleased
with the manner in which the men turn
out when an alarm from one of the
warehouses is sounded. ut is precau-
tionary movement that may at any
time mean a great saving for the COM
pany,l' said Mr.. Papy.sr THE men do
not know when their efficiency is going
to be tested and are constantly on the
alert. 1t means a great deal to have
a body of men properly trained I'm this
way. We are in position to handle any
fire that might be discovered in its
early Stages and by the fire drills Wei
are assured that the men in the ware
houses will not become demoralized,
even should flames be discovered at
work Much damage could be done be-
fore the arrival of the fire department.

Under orders sent out from police
