We Are Still Ahead,

There was certain family resem-
blance between the strike news from
Holland and that which we are &C.
customed to hear from our own coal
regions when the miners quit work.
The rushing of troops to the district
affected on the pretense of depressing
disorder, though none occurred, is
quite a familiar episode. In Holland,
however. no Judge arose to enjoin the
entire population from traversing the
country or using the public highways.
In this respect we are still ahead of
the effete despotisms.

Music.

How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon
this bank
Here we will sit and let the sounds of
music
Creep In our ears; soft stiffness and the
night
Become the touches of sweet harmony
Sit, Jessica. Look how the floor of heav-
gold;
There's not the smallest orb which thou
behold'st
But in his motion like an angel sings.
Still quiring to the young eyed cherubims,
Such harmony is in immortal souls;
But whilst this muddy vesture of decay
Doth grossly close 1t in, we can not hear
1t.

/, PRESIDENT is WRONG
TARIFF REVISION COULD NOT
DESTROY INDUSTRY.
Argument Upon Which Protection Is
Based Has Been Proved FaIlacious
People Desire Only Proper Pro-
lection Against Extortion.

Mr.. Roosevelt openly anragonizes
the Iowa doctrine as to the relation
between the tariff and the trusts. He
unequivocally accepts the Pennsyl-
vania doctrine that, as he expresses
it, mo change in tariff duties can have
any substantial effect in solving the
socalled trust problem"
The argument, as he puts 1t, is SUBJ
stantially this: We must not deprive
the big fellows of any of the power
given them by the tariff laws to fleece
the American people, because If we
do we will at the same time deprive
the little fellows of their power to fleece
the people, and that would ruin all
1.-The business interests" and destroy
our marvellous" tariff-made prosper.
ity.
Mr.. Roosevelt takes great deal for
granted. For one thing he takes it for
granted that the little fellows are
really competitors against the big
ones. Yet he tells us that a tariff
reduction which would merely injure
the big ones would destroy the little
ones. If the latter are really able to
compete they can hold their own as
we'll as the former under a reduced
tariff or no tariff for protection.
He assumes, for another thing, that
those who propose to abolish duties
which shelter corporate monopolies
seek to injure the corporations, but
that is false They do not seek to in
jure corporations. They seek only
to prevent corporations from injuring
them. They seek to take away the
tariff wise with which the corporations
are cruelty pinching them. They hold
that it is wrong for congress to put
an instrument into the hands of either
big or little fellows to be used in
pinching them.
Mr.. Roosevelt conveniently ignores
the genesis Of the trust-sheltered
trusts, but it is no secret. Years ago
the protectionists used to tell lis that
the tariff was to protect selected in
tdustries only until they should become
established and strong and able to
meet foreign competition. Then COM
petition among themselves would
bring prices down to the worlds COM
petitive level and even below, so that
excessive prices paid by consumers for
a time would be compensated for by
CORRESPONDENCE low prices later.
1t has not worked that way. Our
industries became strong and able to
go out into all the markets of the
world and meet all corners, but they
were not willing to give their home
customers the benefit of their ability
to produce at low cost. When they
began to. compete among themselves
at home they also began to combine
to maintain prices at home equal to
foreign prices Of like goods plus the
full amount of the duty or as close to
that as they could and keep out for
eign goods.
Abolishing all duties on goods sold
regularly abroad at competitive prices
would destroy lot of extortionate
trusts, but it would not destroy in.

At the meeting of the city Council
held last Monday evening, it placed
this city in line with other progress
sive towns of the state, by voting to
place license of one Thousand dol
lars upon every saloon within the cor
porate limits. This is as it should be
and will materially increase the rev.
enues of the city and at the same
time confine and control the liquor
traffic and in many ways tend to inn
prove the conditions of the town.
Wherever high license has been tried,
it has given satisfaction all round,
while decreasing the number of sa-
decreases crime, as il does away with

them were altogether too high.

in the patrol 'fagon to the hospital
20 have his eyes attended. He
donned his street attire unassisted
and then walked to the patrol
wagon. He is weak, however, and
his confinement has told on him
greatly. At the hospital it was
stated that Lyons is making excel.
ent progress towards recovery.
His left eye is sightless and it is
believed that he will never be able
to see out Of it again. After the
physicians had finished with Lyons
he walked back to the prison with
Capt. Rennyson.
Lyons has few visitors. Only
his wife and daughter and brother
call to see him. He states that he
does not want other visitors.

A RESULT NOT LIKELY TO OCCUR

A North Louisiana paper ha,
been figuring on the result of the
success Of what it calls the opposi.
ton to Judge Blanchard, aud gives
out, as such result:
Price for Governor, Sanders for
Lieutenant Governor, Guion for
Attorney General, Frazee, for
Auditor, Steidly for Treasurer,
Calhoun for Superintendent Pub
lie Education, and Landry, for
secretary of State; and solemnly
remarks that such a ticket would
leave North Louisiana ont in the
cold.
Orr contemporaries forecast is
all right AS to the head Of the tick
ct, but as to the rest, it Is fantastic
in the extreme, not that the gentle
men named are not good men but
up of material taken practically
from one section of the State "a re
suit not likely to occur, except,
posslblv, under The plan ii aavo-
Gates Of nominations by direct pri
mary.
Nor do we think this forecast
has been made seriously; it is put
forth, in all probability, only to
stir up the Democrats Of North
Louisiana and drive the unwilling
ones into the support of the distin-
guished jurist from Caddo; but it
is ruse that is too palpable to de-
ceive any one.
For the information Of our con-
frere we can say that Senator Prices
friends are not engaged in making
a slate; they favor his nomination
and are advocating it and will con
tinue to advocate it to the best Of
their bility till they secure it, rs
they hope to do; but for the rest
of the ticket, they are not losing
any sleep over it. They believe
that the people, either in primary
or conve ntion, as the case may be,
will attend properly to the matter.
What they do know is, that if
they had their way in the making
of the State ticket, they would GER
tainly see to it that the different
portions of the State are represented
on it by their best men That
would be but fair and just and if
the nominations are made by con
as Senator Price advocates.
here is no REASON why this should
not be done. Aud This is nu I'D
ditiOnal reason in favor Of nonina
tons by conventlon ns against the
direct primary method. In nomi-
nations by primary there is no GER
.aiuty ofany thing like ii inst repre-
scntatiou of the differe,it section of
he State upon the State ticket.
In cor clusiun may we be per-
nitted to suggest to our esteemed
that the way for il to
avert the calamitous result it seems
% fear is to switch off from the
1irrct primary plan it has been
into heconvention plan,
which will enable the Democracy,
through its representatives, to
dominate State ticket with proper
representation to the various sections
