Any revision Of the tariff by those
who view it primarily as bulwark
for the sheltering ct harmful combina-
lions Of capital would throw the trusts
into more open competition with for
eign industries whose chief advantage
lies in wages lower than those paid to
the American workman. And, once
more to quote IKE words Of the Presi-
dent, "ths frst effort to meet this new
competition would be made by cutting
down WAGES, and would therefore be
primarily at the cost Of labor. Chi

teITltOry lor nearly Sixty years the
question of constitutional power to do
so Is no longer an open one with US.
To carry out the plans Of colonization
may involve the acquiring Of territory,
and also the appropriation of money
beyond that to be expended in the ter
ritOrial acquisition. On this
whole proposition, including the appro-
priation of money with the acquisition
of territory, does not the expediency
amount to absolute necessity-that
without which the government itself
cannot be perpetuated"
These words were written forty
three years ago. Is it to be supposed
that Mr.. Lincoln would have changed
his views had it been possible for him
to have uttered them since 1899?
A Badly Managed Campaign.
Never before has the Democracy
been so feeble in the matter of lead
Ing question, and never before has it
been SO puerile and tactless in its Incl
dental Quibblings. The tariff Is the
best and strongest issue the Demo
Gratis have, but its strength is inner
emit; it is not in the manner of its pres
entation at this time. Neither the st.
Louis platform nor the candidates have
given it due prominence or proper
force.
There is neither wisdom nor any con-
vincing degree of sincerity in the ques-
lions Of imperialism, constitutionalism
or negro domination, nor in the trust
issue as presented and qualified by
the Democratic candidates. As a re-
suit of experimental, and often local,
questions, the party is confused and
drifting. The campaigners, too, show
that there is no general plan of battle.
Each has his own way. Every day
some one makes break" The policy
Of assailing the President seems to be
more general than any other, and that
ID by all odds the worst piece Of DO
litical folly in the whole category
Kansas City Times.
Incidental.
Candidate Davis seems to forget
that he is running for the Vice Presi-
dency on platform which denounces
protection as robbery" In a cam
paign speech in West Virginia on the
ed of September the elderly aspirant
took occasion to assure his hearers that
he clings to the belief that incidental
protection" is necessary and desirable
In tariff for revenue. He has ample
reason to think so, to be sure, though
he is curiously oblivious to the fact
that he is advocating incidental rob-
berry, according to his party platform.
The voters of West Virginia will be
certain to decide that it is not so
much what the old man thinks as what
the Democratic party intends that is

Built First Torpedo Boat.

Built First Torpedo Boat.
Il built the first torpedo boat that
ever worked" said James C. Cousins,
a local newsdealer, to a reporter in
discussing the use Of torpedoes In the
Russo-Japanese war, says the Toronto
correspondent of the New York Her
aid.
II was ship carpenter at Charles
ton, s. O., when the civil war began,
and as there were a lot Of Yankee
vessels about there, General Beaure-
gard asked me one day to see what
1 could do in the way Of a torpedo
boat
Il took some one-inch boards and
built a cigar-shaped boat thirty feet
long. At the bow we rugged a cop
per kettle holding about seventy-five
pounds Of powder. The kettle was
fastened to pole, so that we could
lift it out Of the water when the boat
was going and then sink 1t about eight
feet under water when we got to close
quarters.
1.-The pole was at an angle Of forty
five degrees, so that the kettle would
strike the hull of the enemy below
the water line. The kettle had some
percussion caps on the top, and the
force Of the collision would make them
explode the powder. The boat was
made like this" said Mr.. Cousins. and,
n MT he el-o
I'VE rugged the boat in Captain
James Eastman's yard and called 1t
the Little David. That was In 1862.
When 1t was finished we saw the big
Yankee war vessel Ironsides just out
side Of Charleston harbor and sent
the Little David after her. The boat
was In charge Of Mr.. Mills, and the
crew were Lieutenant LasceIle,
Charles Hance, who acted as pilot,
and big Irishman-forget his name.
The Little David went straight for the
Ironsides, the torpedo was lowered,
and exploded against the hull. The
water washed over the Little David.
and some Of 1t went down the smoke
stack and put out the fire. Lascelle
and the Irishman jumped overheard.
but Hance and Mills managed to get
the Little David back into the harbor,
and she often did good work after
that. The Ironsides did not sink, but
was so badly damaged that she had to
be towed away by two other vessels"
Mr.. Cousins, who was born in New
castleon-the-Tyne, and has had
varied career. After a trip through
the Baltic he sailed for years In. the
Mediterranean He worked In ship
yard In Quebec about fifty years ago,
but, becoming tired of the Job, trav-
eled through the United States. After
several years In Europe he went to
Charleston, s. c., at the opening Of
the war and Joined the Charleston
Light Infantry, under Captain T. @.
Simmons. He spent four months In
garrison at Fort Sumter after the sur
render Of Major Andersen, and after
ward took part In fourteen engage

the tendency in the business world
has been toward improvement and
progress. The protective tariff does
more for the great body of workmen
than any single factor In our Industrial
and political fabric. 1t keeps the mills
and the factories and the shops run
ming, and enables the owners to pay
steady wages.-KalamazooT Telegraph.

A Party in Transition.

The Presidential campaign is pretty
tame because nobody has the smallest
doubt OF the result. It lacks life be-
cause hardly anybody expects either
his own vote or that of any other to be
changed by argument Men know how
they are going 20 vote. Most Of them
know how their fellows are going to
vote. They don't mean to be bothered
about it until election day comes. Re-
publicans are SO absolutely certain of
the election Of Roosevelt that they
take no interest In the reasonable pos
sibility that New York may 60 for
Parker. Indeed most of us rather well
come the prospect of the break Of
closer election upon his always en-
barrassing and sometimes perilous
bumptiousness.
The country does not take the Dem
ocratic party seriously this year, be-
cause the Democratic party cannot
possibly take itself seriously. It is in
an artificial and temporary state of
transition. This state could not last
through Parker's term If he were
elected. When he Is defeated it will
come to an end like the crashing down
Of a house of cards.-Mlnneapolis

Mrs. Katy Brownell accompanied
the Fifth Rhode Island Regiment to
the war, of which regiment her hus-
band was a non-commissioned officer.
She vas the color bearer Of the regi
ment, and was a skillful sharpshooter
and expert swordsman. She marched
with the men and asked no favors as
a woman, but bore the brunt of the
battle, on occasion, as fearlessly as
their comrades. She was in General
Burnside's expedition to Roanoke
Island and Newbern, where her hus.
band was severely wounded. When he
was pronounced unfit for duty and dis
charged, she also sought discharge
and retired with him to private life
and domestic duty.

The New York Times says 1.-THE vital
necessity Of high tariff to the farmer
is, Of course, demonstrated b. Repub-
lican enthusiasts by the exhibition Of
the ancient argument that protection
by building up thriving manufacturing
towns and villages makes a market
for the product Of his farm" There
is no question about the antiquity of
the argument. 1t was first employed
by Adam Smith. who plainly stated the
advantages Of contiguity of farm and
factory. Is the Times prepared to de-
ny that the nearby market Is better
than remote one? Can it demon
strate that farmer is benefited by
having to expend more than half Of
his energy to pay to get his products
to market, as he must do when obliged
to hunt for customers in distant lands?
If it can it will make one of the most
reasonable assertions of Adam Smith
seem foolish.-San Francisco Chron-

STANLEY LLOYD DEAD.

Stanley Lloyd, a well-known man
about town, died at the City Hospital
just before noon to-day of delirium
| tremens. Lloyd had resided in this
city for the past ten years, coming g
from Ohio. He was quite a we'll
known athlete several years ago. and
lately at times, was fairly prosperous.
He was united in marriage shortly
after coming here to Miss Margaret
Fleming, daughter of the late Robert
Fleming. Domestic troubles ensued
a year or two since, with separation
as the result. Since that time Lloyd
had been drinking heavily, his con-
dition becoming so serious last week
that he was removed to the hospital
for treatment. His parents are
thought to be residents of Cumber-
land, but a brother-in-law living in
Wheeling was notified and promised
to take charge of the remains. One
for a few years, but is now a fireman
on the Wheeling division of the B.
and O., residing in Grafton. Arrange
ments for the funeral will be made
later when all the relatives can be
communicated with.

SHALL WE HAVE
A NEW CHARTER?
THE QUESTION WILL LIKELY
COME BEFORE THE NEXT SEES
SION OF THE WEST ViR-
GiNlA LEGISLATURE.

Judging from the opinions of some
people who are, in a position to- know,
the next regular session of the Legis-
lature will be presented with a bill for
| the revision of the city charter of Fair
mont. Many things are left out OF
the present charter which by all means
should have been included in it. Some
recent decisions of the Supreme Court
of Appeals have made many of the
cities powerless to act against certain
classes of criminals and Fairmont is
one of them. Before these decisions,
the prosecutions went on just the
same as if the charter gave the power
but now it cannot be done.
Besides giving the authorities more
power, it would not be out of place to
men would not be responsible for pris-
oners put in Jail and run the chances
Of the charges not being sustained.
Most cities have this officer.
Very little has yet been said about
increasing the number of wards. Some
claim that the First ward is large
enough for two while others think that
the Fourth should be divided. AT both
wards, as well as at other plaves around
the city, the corporation limits should
be extended. A great deal of build
ing has been done without the present
limits and the people living there de-
sire to be under the police and fire pro-
lection.
committee Will be appointed by the
City Council soon to look after the |
city's interests and the matter Will be |
brought before the Legislature. |
Whether or not the bill passes will de-
pend upon the will of the representa-
ives from this county. The other
members of the[Legislature care moth
ing about it, as it is special 1egisla- /
ion, and they will vote on the question
is our representatives recommend. A
committee should be sent to lobby for
he bill and see that it is not pigeon
loled, as is the case with so many
pecial bills.
All agree that the charter needs a
evision and the sooner it is done, the
etter.

| to pay taxes to the amount of $19t
| instead of S3S.95.
Now, suppose a farmer has a farm
that is worth in the market $35,00O
or the same proposition, one which
he had refused $4,000 for. To be
fair, suppose it is worth only So, 900
Everybody knows that farm property
is now assessed higher in proportion
than any other property in the State,
or, in other words, about one-half it's
market value. Therefore, the farm is
assessed at $4,000, which at rate
of. 95 cents on the 500 would be sos,
and if assessed for it's market value,
$4,000, would be $40, the same as
the man that owns the mansion Now
some Democrats smiling and saying,
oh yes; you double the farmers tax
in that way" Now, let's see: If this
man that owns the mansion is tax
lodging f1ve-sixths of his valuable
mansion and in doing SO he must pay
the CSC. levy for county and State pur-
poses on one-sixth, it would .on1y re-
quire a levy one-sixth as high, which
fair, let us say zoe. Now he and the
farmer both would pay on $4,000 the
sum Of $40 taxes. which puts them, on
an equality. F
In conclusion, | want to say that. I
believe the special session of the Leg
