Tariff War.

While our standpatter Republican
friends are enjoying the usufruct of
their alliance with the tariff protected
trusts, the tariff war with other coun-
tries is certainly and gradually under
mining our foreign commerce. The
State Department officials point out
that our relations with France on the
tariff question are in very unsatisfac-
tory condition and nothing can be done
to mend them until Congress acts.
Meantime, the officials say, there is
good reason for believing that France
has decided steadily to increase the
duties upon American imports to such
an extent that in many instances they
are likely to be prohibitive. AS the
Republican majority in the House of
Representatives is opposed to tariff re-
form and the Senate has refused to
ratify the treaties for reciprocity with
other nations, other nations, the pros
pect of the coming Congress enactlng
any law that will reduce the tariff
schedules, however high and unreason-
able, is out Of the question.
The temporary arrangement with
Germany will only exist until the next
Congress has had an opportunity to
pass on reciprocity arrangement with
that country, or enact a general tariff
revision law that will admit imports
from Germany on a basis that will
satisfy that country and thus permit
our exports to enter there at the mini
mum rates.
If the standpat faction prevails at
the next Republican national conven-
ton, and that can hardly be doubted as
nearly ali the leaders are for letting
well enough alone" the present incipi-
ent tariff war. will reach an acute
stage and the real fight for commercial
supremacy will be very serious ques-
tion
To leave the tariff to be settled by
the friends of protection" will mean
no settlement at all, but merely con-
tinuation OF the Republican policy,
heretofore and now prevailing OF pro-
tecting the high prices entail. The
only relief that can come to those who
feel that the present high cost of living
is beyond their ability to pay or so
trenches on their income as to compel
the REIMBURSEMENT OF even the most
simple and inexpensive pleasures, is
through voting for Democratic candi-
dates who favor tariff reform not only
because the Democratic platform will
declare for tariff reform, but also
through the inherited traditions of the
Democratic party on the tariff issue
from the beginning of the government.

Another Problem.

''The Word and Way" a Baptist
publication, says that lone of the prob
lens of society is what to do with ex-
convicts." Quite true, but it is not the
only convict question. Another one
deals with those who ought to be con-
victs but are not likely to be, owing to
political pulls and the failure of the
courts to enforce the criminal clause
of the Sherman antitrust law.

N[US|VE lAYSAN
STILL THE WONDER
Many Stories Being Told
Of Disappearing
Islands

The all-absorbing question. not only
along the water front but throughout
the city, is what has become OF Lay.
san Island? There are many for and
against the belief that Laysan Island
has changed its latitude. Many
stories by old sailormen are being
told of islands that have disappeared
for good and all time and of others
that have merely changed their loca-
ton.
The color of truth and belief in the
tale brought by the captain of the
Luka is gaining ground through the
fact that only short time ago Cap
tain Nelson of the Norwegian steam.
er Thyra reported to the photographic
office at Portland Ore, the disappear
ance of Lindsay Island. This island
is small formation similar to Lay
say island lying between the La
drones and the Carolines. While
bound from Australia to the Pacific
Coast port on his recent trip Captain
Nelson reports that he cruised near
the spot where Lindsay island should
have been but that island could not
be found. He was making particular
search for this island for the purposes
of navigation. He saws that on his
return trip to the South he will have
another search for Lindsay island,
lust to satisfy himself that there was
no mistake in his first report.
Reports of the disappearance of
small island by sea captains are many
Ind in most cases authentic, and it
may be that Laysan has shared the
same fate. However, 1t will be short
ly settled by reports from the Logan
and the Iroquois. 1t is expected to
get word from the Iroquois ny cable
from Midway at any time from
now on.

Twelve men of Ba1nberg county
found Charles Zissett guilty of MUIR
der. He was represented by high
priced lawyers and no stone was left
unturned in order to clear him. Yet
twelve men who heard all the evi-
.dence said he was guilty and should
be hanged. Governor Ellerbe set at
naught the verdict of this jury and
scommuted the sentence to life i'm
;prisonment. Now, after only few
years of confinement in the peni-
tentiary, this same paid attorney is
attempting to have Zissett pardon
sed. We might as well tear down
the court houses and quit going
through the farce of trying crimi-
mails if the verdicts of juries are to
be set aside by governors. Zssett
should not be pardoned, and we hope
Governor Ansel and the board OF
pardons will not make so great a
mistake.

Bars Closed ON Sunday.

SAVANNAH, GA., Feb. 18.-For the
first time in perhaps twenty-five
wears every saloon and barroom in
the city of Savannah was shut up
Sunday, shut up tight, too, with no
side door effects. Perhaps a drink
was obtainable here and there for
love, but certainly none could be had
for money.
This was decidedly bizarre ex.
perience for Savannahians, many OF
whom are proverbially thirsty: This
thirst seemed to be aggravated Sun
day by the knowledge Of the inabil-
ity of the sufferers to allay it. There
was no leaning across a polished bar
and crooking the pregnant hinges OF
the elbow-not this Sunday.

The following is said to be one Of
the very best receipts for whitewash:
p Half bushel of unslacked lime,
slack with warm water, cover it
during the process tokeep the steam,
strain the liquid through a fine sieve
or strainer; and a peck Of salt previ-
ously we'll dissolved in warm water !;
three pounds of ground rice boiled
to a thin paste and stir in boiling
hot; half a pound of Spanish whiting
and pound of glue which can be
previously dissolved over a slow fire,
and add five gallons Of hot water to
the MIXTURE stir we'll and let it stand
for a few days, covered up from the
dirt. It should be put on hot:
One pint of the mixture will
cover square yard properly applied.
Small brushes are best. There is
nothing that can compare with it for
inside or outside work, and will re-
tain it's brilliancy for many years.

The Greenville News gives us the
information that the State of South
Carolina did not pay the transpor-
tation of the first ship load of immi-
grants brought over in the Witte-
kind, but that the expense was borne
by certain corporations. While the
matter is up, will the News kindly
give US the names of the corpora
tions who contributed to this fund
and the amount Of their contri-
buttons? It is we'll known that most
of these immigrants went to the cot
ton mills and we might as well air
the whole matter while we are about
it. Will the News also inform us
who paid the transportation of the
second ship load? Our contemporary
states that most of this crowd were
farmers, but if the trouble is taken
to look up the matter it will be found
that about ninety per cent. Of them
went to the cotton mills, just as the
first lot did. It might be we'll for US
to say just here that wehaveno pref
udice against the department Of
of immigration and no desire to mis-
represent its work in any way. But
it does look to us as if the depart

while all the people are being taxed
to support it. We are ready to be

After two weeks the investigation
of the Brownsville affair by the SEN
ate committee has accomplished moth
ing, and no new light has been
thrown on the incident. About the
only thing that seems to have been
discovered is that the members Of
the discharged companies who have
been called to the witness stand
agree that they did not do the shoot
ing. Some of the testimony has
been ridiculously false to all appear
ances. But less than a dozen of the
forty-fve witnesses summoned have
yet been examined, and something
may be forthcoming from the re-
naming number. The whole inves-
tigation, however, is regarded much
in the nature of a farce and it is be-
ginning to '.subside'' as an object Of
public interest. Its report will
doubtless be poor reading.
