A Maori Funeral.


The funeral which took place four
days after the homecoming, was pre-
ceied by the Maori's farewell to the
late premier-an impressive ceremony.
A gorgeous dawn or red and gold
showed above the eastern mountains
as the advance guard Of the Maori pro-
cession-men, women and children
marched in struggling column to-
ward the parliament buildings, where
the body lay in state Inside, for the
next hour and half, the scene was
one never to be forgotten by the few
Europeans who witnessed it. The
long lobby was filled on either side
with floral tributes from all parts Of
New Zealand and from over the seas.
At the far end was the coffin, with
Mr.. Seddon's three young sons stand
ing beside it. 1t was draped with
Maori mats; and some Of the ancient
stone weapons and a taiaha, or chiefs
staff, was placed beside tights from
the chiefs in honor OF the dead. Pres
emily the plaintive wailing of wo-
mans voice was heard from the far
end of the lobby, and the Maori tribes
people began their advances toward
the coffin.
There were in all between 200 and
300 taking part in the ceremony. The
women, some fifty in number, formed
the advance guard of the bringing OF
the tears" They had the blue tat
tooed lips and chins of their nation
ality. Their dresses were of black,
and jade eardrops and sharks teeth
were hung from ear and neck by black
ribbons. In their hands they carried
small green branches. and heads and
shoulders were profusely twined with
green leaves and twigs-the Maori
emblem of mourning. The Hon. Mr..
Carroll, the half-caste minister for
native affairs, briefly addressed the
people. 1t is, perhaps, impossible to
give any adequate translation of the
poetic and idiomatic Maori in which
the address was written, but the fol-
lowing passages from the translation
by Messrs. Heke and Ngata, members
of the New Zealand legislature. at
least convey some idea of it:
Remain, o Mother. with thy children
and thy children's children! larry ye
while in the house of mourning in
the chamber of death. Clasp but the
cold form of him who was to thee hus-
band beloved.
Rest, o Father! The tribes have as
sembled to mourn their loss. Aue!
The canoe is cast from its moorings,
its energy and guide no move. The
red-hued bird, the kaka-kura. the Or
nament of Aotearoa, the proud beast
of To Wai-pounamu, the mighty heart
of the land. the moving spirit of the
people-fare the we'll. a long farewell.
Pass on. o noble one. across the long
sands of Haumu. beyond the barrier
of Paerau-going before to join the
illustrious dead. Woe unto us that are
left desolate in the valley Of sorrow.

deeds done. sure that to generations
unborn they will be as beacons along
the highways of history. Though thou
art gone. may thy spirit. which so
long moved the heart of things. inspire
US to greater, nobler ends.

ones! Though small our tribute, our
hearts have spoken. Our feet have

ties of tartar emetic (tartarized anti
mony), but also large amounts of

Charged With Poisoning Wife.
The stock which he had laid in was
evidently intended for use during a
long period, for on March II, 1865,
Mrs. Pritchard was violently i'll, a DR..
Paterson being sent for. On the 18th
Mrs. Pritchard died. On March 81 as
DR.. Pritchard stepped out on the plat
form at Queen street station, Glas-
gov, on his return from Edinburgh,
whittier the body of Mrs. Pritchard
had been removed, he was arrested
on charge of having poisoned his
wife.
On March 80 Mrs. Taylor's body was
exhumed, the result of the examina-
ton of both bodies being to prove
that poison was the cause of death.
So 1t came about that Pritchard was
indicted for both murders. The trial
began July 3. 1865, and was conclud-
ed July z, when Pritchard was SEN
fenced to death by Lord Justice Clerk
ingalls,, who will be remembered in
the annals of Scottish criminal law
for his magnificent defence of Madel-
cine Smith some eight or nine years
previously, Glasgow girl. who was
charged with poisoning Frenchman,
L'Angelier, her lover. She was &C.
quilted of the crime.
On July II Pritchard made first,
but hypocritical confession. On July
10 he made another fuller and more
correct one. On the 2Sth of July he
paid the last penalty of the law in
Glasgow before large, and apparent
~ highly delighted crowd.
Was Proved Satisfactorily.
Never was a case proved more sat-
isfactorily up to the hilt than that of
the crown against Pritchard. He was
practically the only person who first
of all had the knowledge requisite to
enable him to use the poisons through
an extended period. He lied in his
certificate regarding the cause of
death both of his mother-in-law and
Of his wife. BY the grim logic of ex-
clusion Of any other hand which could
possibly have day by day impregnated
the food of these women with subtle
poisons, Pritchard was sent to the
scaffold on evidence which was as
clear as that which has ever convicted
any criminal of either ancient or mod
ern times.
1t may be added that the first hint
that something suspicious was hap
pening in DR.. Pritchard's house was
contained in an anonymous letter sent
to the Procurator Fiscal at Glasgow,
Mr.. Hart. dated March 1S, 1865. This
letter is signed Amor Justitae."
Anonymous letters may not meet
the approval of the world at large, but
like other evil things, it is clear they
have their uses.

New York. Nov. 15.-Today marked
the end of the racing season in the
metropolitan district. the closing of
the Aqueduct meeting winding up the
sport in this vicinity until next spring.
On the whole. the season has not been
particularly satisf ictory or profitable
and the bookies and track followers
are not sorry that the curtain has

In these days, when families are
moving from one place to another in
the hope of lettering themselves, it is
interesting to read of an aged woman
who died in New England town in
the same house and in the same room
in which she was born. For the better
part of century she had been active
in the kindly Christian work of the vii.
lage. and had come to be looked upon
as one of it's institutions. Families
which have an old homestead that has
been in the family for generation after
generation have a possession worth
more than dollars and cents, as every
member of an itinerant family will
testify.

Canada's Free Trade Farmers.

The farmers of Canada have yet to
learn the rudimentary facts relating
to the policy of protection to domestic
at Toronto, the Farmers association OF
Ontario discussed the revision Of the
Canadian tariff that is to be made next
winter The discussion resulted in the
unanimous adoption of a resolution,
declaring "protectionism to be proli.
fic source of political corruption and
moral degradation of the national life,
as well as unjust to the great masses
of the Canadian people," and demand
ing that 'the tariff should be revised
in a lowered or downward direction
with view TO eliminating wholly the
protection principle"
"Clear-cut, plucky talk" the Buffalo
Courier calls this. That is what it
would be called by Mr. Bryan, who is
tremendously oppressed with a sense
of the immortality of protection. Fool
ish talk we should call it. The Ameri-
can farmer sees nothing immoral in
getting big prices for the foodstuffs and
by wage earners and busy factories.
The Canadian farmer, blind to these
advantages. and forced to sell his
products 1000 miles away, would abol.

An Expensive Undertakinu.

Imperial, Cal.--On Wednesday the
water of the Colorado river
was turned back into the old channel
leading to the Gulf of California, the
first water of the Colorado river that
has flowed there for two years. Six
years ago that portion of the desert
known as Imperial valley was coloniz-
ed and water was brought in from the
Colorado river for irrigation. Two
years ago the river broke through it's
bank and flowed in the Salton sink,
compelling the Southern Pacific rail-
road to remove its tracks several
times. The company then undertook
to turn the water to it's old channel,
and has at last succeeded, at a cost
of $1,000,000.

Pittsburg, Pa. - Running at a
speed estimated at so miles an hour,
the fast train between Cleveland and
Pittsburg on the Fort Wayne road,
known as the Cleveland Flyer" was
sideswiped by the caboose of freight
train near Bellevue station, shortly
after noon Wednesday, five trainmen
being injured in the wreck, all of
whom will recover.
A score of passengers were cut by
flying glass, but none were seriously
hurt They were brought to this city
on wreck train that reached the
scene IS minutes after the accident
and proceeded on their journey Their
wounds were dressed by physicians
that had been sent out from this city.
The collision with the caboose
threw the engine down an embank-
ment 80 feet high and it slid into the
Ohio river. The baggage car and two
passenger coaches were thrown
across the rails. The destruction of
the former was complete, but none of
the passenger cars were damaged be-
yond the breaking of windows.

HARM IN TARIFF CHANGES.
Experience Has Proved 1t Means Rusi-
ness Decentralization.

AS Mr.. Roosevelt seems to recognize
distinctly in his letter to Congressman
Watson, tariff revision is not simple
question of readjusting this or that
particular rate or schedule, as econom-
ic conditions change. Nobody would
oppose this or that reasonable and
harmless readjustment if it could be
attained without exciting universal
and disastrous perturbation. Unfor-
tunately, hitherto in the history of
tariff emendation it has proved i'm
practicable to enact two or three
amendments agreed upon beforehand
without consenting to innumerable
others, some, possibly, innocuous,
many mischievous in high degree.
That is why the prospect of any tariff
revision inevitably unsettles prices,
alarms capital, postpones contracts and
paralyzes production. 1t is the limit
less uncertainty that stops the wheels
of business. 1t is, of course possible
in theory to conceive of a tariff revis-
ion strictly confined to two or three
items which might have no dislocat-
ing influence on the nations industrial
machinery. II, for instance, it were
practicable for the president to an
nounce that, in his opinion, two or
three changes in the Dingley tariff
should be made, but that If bill to
that effect should contain any other
changes than those specified it would
be vetoed by him. not ripple would
be witnessed on the smooth current Of
the national prosperity. Such a dicta-
torial announcement, however, would
be resented bitterly by the federal
Legislature, and in practice, therefore.
might be out OF the question. We in
fer that, rs things are now, and SO
long as our prosperity endures, Pregi-
dent Roosevelt is a stand-patter.-

ENGINES WERE DEMOLISHED.
Two Men Killed in a Collision on the
Big Four Railroad.

Kenton, o. - A freight wreck
occurred on the Big Four here
Wednesday afternoon in which two
men were instantly killed. A north
bound train with two engines crashed
into cut of cars being shifted on the
main track by the switch engine. The
freight engines and six cars were de-
rallied and the engines completely de-
molished. One fireman and brake
man were caught under the wreckage
and killed.
The engineer of the switch engine
saw the freight coming and reversed
his engine and jumped. The engine
started in the opposite direction so
suddenly that it broke loose from the
tender and got away before the crash
came. 1t ran wild down the track un-
der full head of steam to Grant Sta
tion, five miles away, where it was
ditched by section hands who had
been warned by telegraph.

In 1862 Lincoln signed a free homes
bill which has added millions to the
VESTS farming population. In 1902
Roosevelt put his signature to ma
other millions of farmers in the new
empire which it will create in the arid
region. BY it's protective tariff acts
the Republican party has put the Unit
in the extent and variety of its indus
trial activities, and has created home
market which has advanced the price
of everything that the farmer has to
sell, has increased the value of his
land and all other sorts of property
belonging to him, has reduced the cost
of the things which the farmer has to
buy, and has made an addition to his
comforts and to his general prosperity
and social influence undreamed of in
the years preceding the foundation of
the Republican party.
In the Republican scheme in which
the nation has been developed there
has been no forgotten man, white,
black, red or brown, low or high, and
there has been no neglected calling.
In a direct and emphatic degree the
American farmer has reason to be
grateful for the work which has been
done for him by the Republican party.

According to the official figures pre-
pared by the San Francisco depart
ment of health, 452 persons lost their
lives as result of the earthquake and
the fire which followed it. More than
one-half of the deaths were caused by
FIRE, seven pei sons were shot by the
police or soldiers, and two died from
the effect of poisonous food dealt out
to the hungry. The. first reports
which came from the stricken city,
that thousands had been killed, were
exaggerated, as is commonly the case
in, such calamities.

TRUSTS UNIVERSAL.
IN EUROPE AS WELL AS IN THE
UNITED STATES.
Remove the Tariff on Trust Products
and the Leading American Trusts
Would Supply the American Market
from Their Manufactures Abroad.

Nearly every great American manu-
featuring trust has branches and fac
tories in foreign countries. The tariff
rippers may not have considered this
fact. If the duty were removed from
all trust-made goods, as suggested by
Gov Cummins at Minneapolis four
years ago. and by William ]. Bryan a
few days ago, the result would be the
closing of the American factories oper-
ated by the trusts and the enlarge
ment of their own foreign factories.
And the goods for the American mar
ket being then duty free. would be
manufactured by the American trusts
In their factories where labor is cheap
er. The American people would sim
ply have their big mills and factories
closed and thousands of Americans
thrown out of employment, and the
trusts would be in the saddle, making
barrels of money in their factories
operated by cheap labor in other
lands.
Sometimes we think many people re-
fuse to consider these tariff PROPOSE
tions as relating to business and only
consider them as relating to politics.
The protective tariff is for the pur-
pose of enabling Americans to do their
own work and supply their own wants.
The politicians who talk in favor of
tariff changes Ito meet changed condi-
tions" evidently do not fully know
what they are talking about. The only
changed condition" which could JUS
tify tariff reduction would be the in
crease of wages abroad to correspond
with American wages, and that has not
been done. If American workingmen
were called upon to compete with their
equals, in skill and compensation, they
would not complain but tearing down
the tariff wall would put them in com.
petition with men in other lands who
work for 16 to 18 cents per day, and
the American workingman is not pre-
pared to thus compete. He is no better
prepared now than he was in 1897,
when the Dingley tariff was enacted.
There has been a slight increase in
wages In England, but there has been
no increase in Germany, France, ia
pan, China, India or any other coun.
try. We are sometimes tempted to
believe that the talk about "lower tar,
ifs" is blow at American institutions
and an attempt to reduce prices to
the American consumer" on the pre-.
text of helping the consumer in
what he buys without hurting him in
what he sells. AS we have often said
the tariff was invented to make and
keep America prosperous. That end
is now accomplished. Then why des,
troy or even partially destroy the tar.
iff? AS Mark Hanna said, "Why not
let well enough alone? Why not stand
pat?" Why not tell the politicians and
Office seekers they can have the of.
fees if they will keep their mouths
shut on this great business question?

Control of MonopoIies-

The indications are that the people
of the United States will give more at
tention and study to the solution OF
the trust and monopoly problem dur
ing the next two years than they have
given to any other subject, save the
money question, since the time of
slavery. 1t is a common thing to ap-
proach this subject through the dis
cussion of the tariff which is said by
some to be the mother of the trusts
Time and again it has been pointed
out that, while a removal or decided
lowering of the tariff might destroy
some of the trusts and injure some of
the monopolies, the chances are that
in the business wreck that would fol
low and the disasters of the hard
times that would be produced by such
a decided change of policy the smaller
business interests of the country
would be the greatest sufferers. The
trouble with attempting to cure the
trust evil by such an indirect method
is that it not only does damage to the
trusts, but hits other interests as well
