Having found it impossible to Sc
cure the confirmation of the San
Domingo treaty which made this ma
ton assume the role OF a debt collect
ing agency the republican leaders of
the senate, after consulting with the
president, concluded not to.bring the
matter to vote While the democrats
were nearly all opposed to any treaty
which would involve the United States
in the pecuniary disputes constantly
arising in the southern republics.
they were especially hostile to the
San Domingo treaty because of the
nature of some of the claims which
are held against that country.
Senator Morgan of Alabama called
the senate's attention to one case in
which fnancier charged the San
Domingo government half million
for floating loan of about two mil
lions. The bonds were sold for little
more than a million and the govern
ment, after it got through with con-
tractors and middle nen, realized
something like two hundred thousand
dollars. The debt has now grown to
about ten million dollars. The Euro
pean governments have been in the
habit OF backing up the usurious
claims of their citizens and the presi-
dent argues that unless we did as the
Europeans do our citizens would be at
disadvantage.
While the reasons given by the
president are plausible to those who
adopt the commercial view that in
dealing with the weaker nations force
can be used to collect debts due to in
dividuals, the policy ought at least to
carry with it a condition that the
loans must be entirely free from fraud
end the interest not excessive. 1t a
nation is going to guarantee the col-
lection Of loan made by its citiz eu~
it ought to compel its citizens to loar
at rates customary for safe invest
mems. 1t is OBVIOUSLY unjust for a
nation to allow its citizens to deal on
a speculative basis, charging for the
risk, aud then proceed to eliminate
the risk; Even with safeguards
again usu1y such policy is danger
Gus one for us to endorse, bee ,u,e
foreign money is invested here and
we can not recognize the right of for
eign nations to protect the loans OF
their citizens elsewhere W. thout recog
nizing their rig bit TO Jmpel paymen;
from our citizens.
If such RUE is established in the
western hemisphere it ought to be az.
cCmpauied by another rule making il
unlawful Tor any citizen to borrow
money outside OF his own country O,
tor any government to borrow excep.
from It's own citizens. Acco ding
the European rule now enforced
against the weaker nations loan j.,
really an invitation to invade tn
lana Ut the debtor-Commoner.

A Blizzard in Worcester.

The most severe storm of the winter set
in here Tuesday night and lasted all day
Wednesday. The wind blew strong
and snow came down steady The
mercury dropped TO near zero and every
body had the shivers. The south bound
train due Wednesday evening did not
arrive here until one O'Clock Thursday
morning, and even that was difficult
accomplishment. Orders were sent out
from headquarters not TO attempt to run
the trains on Thursday until the wind
moderated so the tracks couli be cleared
with certainty of remaining clear for
any length of time.
The first mail to reach Snow Hill after
the blizzard set i'm was the north bound
from Franklin this (Friday) morning
In the afternoon late the first mail from
the north arrived and the daily papers
were sought after with greater interest
than for many a day. Worcester county
had been shut off from the rest of the

Shot a Chicken Thief

Last Saturday night. Mr.. Hiram
Lewis, who lives just outside the town
limits. heard noise in the direction of
his poultry house. Convinced that a
thief was making an attempt TO raid his
chicken roost, he took down his gun.
and crept cautiously out. He fired in the
direction of the noise. without taking
aim at any particular object, but the
cries that arose told him that an uner-
ring instinct had guided his aim. A
colored individual. named Will Parker.
was the thief. and he received the full
contents of the gun i'll various parts of
his body Some of the shot struck him in
the face, and it is said he may lose the
sight of one eye as result of his injur-
les. Mr.. Joseph Stanford also had an
experience with midnight thieves
last week. his wood pile being the prin-
cipal point against which they directed
their operations. Having noticed, one
morning, how rapidly the size of his
wood pile was diminishing, he conclud-
ed that thieves were at work upon it.
and helping him to burn it, Mr.. Stan
ford is not the kind of man to sit idle
while his firewood is being stolen, or his
premises invaded by midnight maraud-
ers without challenging them, and de-
manding an explanation OF their pres
ence; so the next night he sat up all
night. waiting for the thieves to make
him another visit. However, they had
probably taken enough firewood the
night before to last them two days, SO
they did not put in an appearance that
night. The next night his vigilance was
rewarded. for the thieves came. Mr..
Stafford did not waste time in parleying
but opened fire upon them. The report
of the gun spoke volumes. and the
thieves took to their heels. These, with
several other like depredations. have
caused our citizens to exercise unusual
vigilance. and If the band of thieves is
not broken mp, some of them will un-
doubtedly pay dearly for their assumed
privilege of midnight thieving.
