TARIFF REVISION.
A Pessimistic View of the Presidents
 Plans on This Line.

Plans on This Line.
 Hartford Times.
 There is no reason to believe that any tariff revision which may be ef- fected during the next two years will bring about material reduction of those duties which President McKln- ley referred to in his last speech as no longer needed. Such q thing as putting steel on the free list, which could be safely done, is not spoken of as a possibility, even by the most ernest advocates of revision. Indeed there is great indefiniteness in the conversation of all the Republican poli- ticians when they begin to talk about the tariff. The only duty to which we find any one of them willing to re- fer as likely to be changed is the du- ty on wood pulp. Illinois is repre- sented in the Senate by one Chicago man. Mir. Hopkins. In Chicago, fl anywhere in the West, there ought to be a well-developed sentiment and def mite opinion in favor of tariff re- auctions. But this is the position oi Chicago and the Central West on the question of tariff reform, as stated by Senator Hopkins:
 There are a few schedules in the present tariff law which may need modification-or revision. if you pIease-but I do not find the senti- ment to be in favor of a very general revision of the tariff believe that the paper schedule ought to be rear ranged so as to strike at the white paper trust. and there are, perhaps a few other schedules which, with benefit to the whole people, might be readjusted. My belief Is that we shall take. up some legislation on the tariff either at the next regular session Of Congress or at a special session to he called. probably for next october or November Meantime. members of the Finance Committee of the Senate and of the Ways and Means Committee of the House will study the conditions and have a measure practically prepared

Sick Ofthe Job.

Governor William L. Douglas, of
Massachusetts, the wealthy shoe man
ufacturer who never held or sought
public office previous to his over
whelming election last fall, is weary
of his job and declares he will not
be q candidate for reelection.
He says he has no taste for Office
holding and that he only consented
to the use of his name before be-
cause he had no notion he could be
elected.
Here, then at last, is the man
whom the Office seeks. A Democrat
he received 700, 900 more votes than
the presidential candidates in one of
the soIidest Republican states in
the union and carried it. He fairly
had the office thrust upon him.
Aud there are indications that
people of Massachusetts are going to
thru t the Office upon him again,
! whether he wants it or not. And he
will have to accept it; when a man's
: statedemands his services, in war Or
peace he must consent.
/ Governor Douglas had good
reason to become dissatisfied with
office holding. All his life an honest
liber raj business man, be- now finds
himself up against the cunning and
littleness of the professional polite
ians, and the atmosphere is op-
pressive. He has discovered that the
governor who is honest has a hard
row to hoe.
Governor Douglas has already Of
3 Tended the professional politician:
by vetoing several graft bills, and by
declining to makeany purely partisan
appointment. Heha9 found the offlc'
anything but a belof roses.
But should take heart. HI shoult
not allow the influence of polite
upon him to be great-r than hi
Influence upon politics. Men ofhis sor

Salisbury. N. c., June 49,
Late Saturday night while returning
homefrom this city Thomas Carr a
citizen of Rowan county, was killed
by being run over by a northbound
train. The accident occurred at a
crossing near the Salisbury limits
and death came with onlya moments
warning. Carr was driving a one
horse vehicle, but the engineer failed
to observe the team until too late to
evensl slow up the engine. The horse,
vehicle and driver were torn into
atoms in an instant and fragments OF
the bodies were scatteredin all direc-
tons.

Horse Drowned.

MIR. M. l.. Lee had the misfortune
to lose his family horse yesterday
afternoon which came to his death by
drowning.
MI. Lee, in company with his son,
Mr.. Edwin, drove down to Little
river, through Mr.. E. B. Borden's
farm, to fish, his fish trap. The
river being quite low, they drove
across the stream and left the animal
standing near the bank, while they
performed their mission, which was
only a few yards away.
In a few minutes Mr.. Lee heard a
great noise in the water and hasten
ed to the scene to find that the horse
was in deep water and was drown
ing. He undressed as rapidly as
possible and swan to his assistance,
but before he could liberate him
from the buggy, he drowned.
1t is thought that the flies worried
the animal so bad that he decided tC
cross the river again. In doing sc
the swift current washed him, ant

was next to impossible to save him

BILL AkTis CAPTURED.
He was Arrested in Raleigh Yes
terday Afternoon and Brought
Back Here This Morning.


terday Afternoon and Brought
Back Here This Morning.
Bill Arts, the negro, who to-
gether with "Shake" Fulford, an
other negro, broke into the box car
containing merchandise, on the sid
ing near the Southern warehouse
Monday morning about L O'Clock,
was captured in Raleigh yesterday
afternoon on arrival Of the train from
this city.
Chief Freeman learned yesterday
morning that Arts had walked from
this city to either Princeton or some
other station nearby, and boarded
| the train for Raleigh. He immediate
ly phoned to Chief of Police Mullins,
of that city, giving him a descrip-
ton of the negro, and asking him to
| be on the lookout for him, and in Z
few minutes after the arrival Of the
| train In Raleigh, Chief Freeman re-
| ceived a telegram that his man ha'
been ca tured.
Officer Smith went up to Raleigh
last night and returned this morning
] with the negro, who was placed IL
the lookup with his pal.
When searched he had on his per-
son a large bunch of keys, a watch, a
new pairofshoes and So so in money.
Artist and Fulford lived together
in a small house near the electric
light station, aud in searching the
premises yesterday morning the
officers founda caseof Vieda sausage,
six or seven jugs and several bottles
The case of sausage was stolen from
an A. & N. G. Car sometime last
week, as III checking up freight some
days ago, the authorities found a box
of sausage which could not be &C
counted for.
For some time past the A. & N. G
and Southern authorities have beer
missing articles at different times
which they could not account foT
1t is thought that the arrest of thes'
two negroes will throw some light
on the mystery.
1t also developed at the trial thi
morning that the negro Arts, in al
dition to being guilty of ~stealin'
other merchandise, has also beel
running a blind tiger. The whiske,
which he sold was also stolen from
freight cars, and sold at reduce
| prices.
Justice Broadhurst, who tried tn
case, bound both Arts and Fulfor
over to court each in a $500 justiiet
, bond, ard Arts was also required t
' give an additional bond of $500 fC
selling whiskey Both failed to Civ
the required bond and were place
!, in Jail.

UNCLE SAM ON SECESSION.

The oufhern states, believing that
the federal government was a volun-
tary union of sovereign states, and
having a grIevance-in fact, a series
of them-seceded, and Uncle Sam
| proceeded to recruit soldiers from all
parts of the world, and by the might
of plumbers drove the seeded states
back into the union, declaring that
the right of secess GA lever did aud
never would exist. That is where
Uncle Sam stands today. This is all
indissoluble union now, and no state
can secede, no matter how great its
grievances may be. For veal or for
woe they are 1 II the union, and there
they must stay.
Uncle Sam has not been consistent,
not by a large majority. When Pan
anna seeded from Colombia, Uncle
Sam could not hurry on warships and
recognition fast enough. What was
bad at home was thus declared gocd
at the isthmus. Pretty soon, toe, Nor

UNFAIRLY entered into without limita-
ton or q~ualIicatinn. She desired to
appoint her wv commercial agents,
and so she seeded from the uniGn
