testers heads-three heads making the

Every other shade will have green
lining and a red candle. the alternate
shades lined with red being put on over
green candles.
The eenterpiece is to be made of
diamond shaped bits of bright red and
green stuff, sewed together so that the
long points spread out over the CLOTH

Referring to the acquittal of Pat Grove, the kidnapper and blackmailer, The Richmond News-Leader thinks that ethere seems to be no doubt that Grove was acquitted because Cudahy Is rich and unpopular" It would be hard to formulate harsher charge against a court of justice than is conveyed in this sentence. If Cudahy himself had been on trial and had been acquitted it would have been said at once that his money warped the course of justice and prevented the conviction of a crim- inai. That. as all know, is the argu% ment used when a very wealthy indi- vidual is exonerated by the verdict of a jury If The News-Leader is correct. the action of this jury is no less dis creditable than it would have been in the other case we have opposed.
 There seems to be no doubt that Grove was guilty of vile crime. He stole son Of the wealthy packer. Gu dahy. and held him for ransom. We believe $35.0oo was the sum paid by the father to recover his child. It was crime in some respects worse than murder. for 1t was a vile crime com mitted- on helpless child. and 1t was playing on the parental feelings of a wealthy man to extort sbiood money cowardly---a crime that should have no pallfating circumstances in the minds of jury. There was not a-doubt of Crowe's guilt, yet we are led to be- lieve that he was acquitted because the man against whom the criminal act was directed is rich and unpopular. If that was the cause which actuated the jury, the names of the jurymen should be. carefully preserved. SO that one of them will not again be drawn as a juror. As The Brooklyn Eagle looks at 1t. perhaps no members of the jury would steal Mir. Cudahy's son, or his money, yet, like a coward, he will stand for the theft and outrage so long as Mir. Cudahy Is the victim. Mir. Gudahys business and personality had nothing to do with the question at is- Eue. It was the duty of the Jury to find In accordance with the evidence, and it would have been It's duty just the same had a child of Pat Grove been stolen. instead of the son of a million aire. Child stealing is absolutely un- forgivable and merits death. If Mir. cudahy is punishable for having raised the cost of meat let him be punished in the regular way But after this exhibition of baseness and unintelli- gence. can wescount on court to pun ish him? Omaha has disgraced civiIi- zation."

Mir. Conner. in his speech at Wedowee. said, the state tax is about three mil- lion dollars. The railroads tax on Ala bama is twenty-eight million dollars. nine times as much
 Why does not Mir. Conner tell his hearers that the railroads pay the State nearly one-sixth of the taxes collected. besides large amount to cities. towns and counties. No railroad In Alabama ever enjoyed the ten years immunity from State and county taxation that was enjoyed by cotton factories in the State. business in which Mir. Conner is large interested.
 why does hs not tell how much peo- pie pay for the clothes they wear, the groceries they eat, and other indispen- sable expenses of living. There would have been just as much propriety in 1t, as in assaulting railroads for col lecting freight for hauling goods and people. Does he want railroads to haul for nothing? One would think so to hear him talk, especially where his own immense interests are involved. He has managed to become a very rich man in spite of the exactions from which he claims to have suffered at the hands of the railroads. Run to earth, Mir. Corners complaints are due to his failure to get rates of his own fixing for his own business.

noosrvrLr AND THn TARIFF.

A Boston Republican paper ventures to predict" that before the year is out it will be admitted from Washington that (1) President Roosevelt favors the revision of the tarife; (2) a majority Of the Republicans in Congress feel the same way; and ts) that steps will be taken in the early au n to submit a tariff bill to the scrutiny of the Gen. rressional leaders. with the idea Of car lv action upon that measure.
 And these observations lead the in- dependent Boston Herald to suggest:
 If the people who demand relief from tariff taxes that are no longer needed either for revenue or protection, but which burden consumers and han d,cap our manufacturers in their com petition for trade in foreign lands, can be deceived by this sort of game often repeated. they do not deserve the re. lief that they ask. If the fall elections go against the Republicans. as they are quite likely to do, and they lose the next House, as they well deserve to do if they take no action on the tarif at this session, 1t is very probable that the President may call Congress to- gether in extra session to prevent the Democrats from getting the credit of initiating tariff reform. But if the voters are geese enough to trust to as- surances that the President favors tariff revision, and that a majority of the Republicans feel the same way they will find that they are doomed to three years more of Dingleyism. There is high authority for holding that words are good when backed by deeds, and only then If the Republicans in congress are in favor of revision of the tarif now is the time to show it."
