CAPTAIN CARTER AGAIN.

The case brought by Captain Ober-
lin M. Carter against the United
States in the circuit court in Chicago
recalls the sensational court martial
of the young captain of engineers, his
conviction and the subsequent flight
of Gaynor and Greene, the contractors,
who nave, after a long and tortuous
litigation, have been eXtradited
from Canada. Carter served a
term of five years impris-
onment and was dismissed from
the army. He has just gotten out of
prison, and his first act was to bring
suit against the government to obtain
possession of $750,OO0 which has
been tied up by the government in
various banks. the United States
claims this money as part of Carriers
stealings while he was in league with
Gaynor and Greene and was approving
enormously inflated bills for them
and receiving one-tnird Of the
winnings from the government. Car
ter's claim is that this money is all
his own, having been given to him by
his fatner-in-law r. B. Westcott, now
dead,
When asked on the witness stand
where Westcott got these immense
sums, Carter says he visited Cornelius
Vanderbilt at his Office in the New
York Central depot and emerged with
as much as $4,000 in cash at a time,
which he turned over to Carter as a
Christmas present. The attorneys for
the governmet, while quite clear In
their belief that Carriers story is a
fairy venture to seize a fortune, are
hampered in tracing it by the fact that
the men whose names are used are all
dead.
Another thing Of Importance is the
growing impression that Carter is not
going to testify against Gaynor and
Greene. The government is very will
ing to serve out considerable orders Of
justice to these gentlemen, and would
nave been glad of Carriers assistance.
His present attitude is not at all IN
Iicative of an intention to clear up
the mystery of the looted millions.

Illustration. The Itariff cuts little OF
no figure with it. The price of coal is
made by the production cost at tide
water plus all the transportation uI
to the point of consumption. The
price of coal at tidewater is quite
moderate. After it passes tidewateI
there is very little labor represented
in it. The price then is made up al
most entirely of handling charges and
bits of profit for various parties.
At no point in the process of mining
coal does labor obtain any advantage
from the tariff laws. The miner has
to protect himself by his organizations,
and sometimes by mis- violence against
not only the pressing Of the wage
downward, but from the importation
of alien labor to take from him even
the pittance he is earning. Yet there
is a tariff on coal, put there as a
precaution. The tariff barons overlook
nothing.
So far as iron is concerned, when
we are sending steel rails out of the
country so fast, it is quite unlikely
there is much chance for a foreigner
to send rails into this country. The
wC:kingman has his protection, which
ne could do without so far as his
wages are concerned; the manufac-
turer has mis- tariff, which is of no
earthly use to him because he is al
ready an exporter. What, then, is the
high tariff on steel rails for, and what
purpose does it serve?
1t permits the iron ma to add the
tariff to the cost of the rail laid down
in this country and say, This is the
cost price Of steel rails here The
big bonus he thus drags out of the
American people enables him to sell
steel rails abroad very cheap and thus
conquer a foreign market" not with
his own moey but with yours. You,
the consumer pay him in advance his
loss, if there is any, on the rails he
st nds abroad.

South Carolina has done one more
important service to the country. She
has tested the dispensary system OF
dealing with the liquor question on
herself and has demonstrated it's vile
ness and weakness so thoroughly that
it is not likely that any other state
will undertake it. Three important
counties, after twelve years of inti-
mate test of its public and personal
results, have voted it out by a large
majority. Half a dozen others have
presented the necessary petitions for
an election, containing the names of
two-tnirds of their qualified voters.
The presentation of the petition means
the defeat Of the dispensary every
where. The people are SO anxious to
be rid of it that they gladly accept
prohibition, considerable increase in
taxes, and the responsibility OF en-
forcing the prohibition laws in place
of it.

The war is still raging fiercely in
the Japanese universities, many hun
lreds of professors refusing to be COM
forted and wailing daily about the
uprighteous peace. The United States
has had some experience with college
professors and has found that they
are often difficult to pacify. They
were among the most rabid fighters
we had during the Spanish war. With
them were some preachers who pious-
ly expected this country to seize all
the islands out of doors in the interest
of foreign missions. The country sur
vived it's college professors, and Japan
will do the same.

THE TARIFF ON STEEL.

Charles NJ. Schwab is beginning to
take a wonderful interest in the Ia
boring man in connection with the
tariff. Mr.. Schwab does not know
that he is a standpatter, but he knows
that he believes in the protection of
labor to the limit. Take says Mr..
Schwab to illustrate his argument,
lore in the ground. 1t is valueless
until it is removed by labor. BY la
Dor it becomes molten metal and by
labor it is fashioned. Take the coal
in the earth. 1t is valueless until re-
moved by labor"
Mr.. Schwab's standpoint is undoubt-
edly the correct one so far as the la
borer is concerned. He needs and
should have the protection which viii
make it certain that no foreign coun
try can afford to make rails and shi1
them in here and thus leave him idly
dreaming on the top of an unused pile
of ore. The question is when his pro.
lection ceases to protect and wher
does the tariff begin to do sometime
besides protect the workingman.
So far as coal is concerned Mr.
Schwab need not have used it in his
