beggary. 1t has lowered prices to q
point where the poorer planters. unable
to hold their crops. have been at the
with the trust, nor does the trust care for
sympathy.
The torch and the bullet however. are.
in the first place. not the weapons of
legitimate opposition. and, in the second
place, are not as applied injurious to the
trust. The men who are employing them
are in reality battling against their own
interests. They are embroiling the COM
munities in which they live. They are
destructionists. and arrayfng neighbor
against neighbor. In word, they are
sowing the seeds of anarchy in their own
homes; and that they will reap djsas-
trously Is as certain as anything can be.
If the price of tobacco could be advanced
by such means to thousand dollars a
pound the crop would he curse to any
community producing it.
These three states are peopled by men
of American birth and antecedents. There
are no Black Hand societies within their
borders, nor associations of reds" draw
ing inspiration. from the Sums of Europe.
But here is something of like quality,
even more far-reaching in hideous in
fuenceS. and 1t is home born. 1t is often
asserted that the trusts are development
of the times and here to stay. If they are,
and are to be resisted only In this way.
then Is our society, and even our civili-
cation, in the gravest peril.

proposal under advisement. While the
House committee on library has decided
not to interfere to save the Botanic Gar
den trees from destruction and the
Grant memorial from dissertation, a
change to another site remains possible
as long as the memorial is not actually
emplaced. Inasmuch as locating the mon
ument in the Botanic Garden means that
to make it visible from any distance what
ever additional legislation must be en-
acted and large funds appropriated to
carry out an exceedingly unpopular
scheme of works, the Peace monument
site may be regarded as comparatively
practicable. even though its adoption
would involve further legislation and ex-
penditures. The latter site would have at
least the advantage of insuring view of
the Grant memorial for nearly mile and
a half along the capitals great thorough
fare. with a magnificent setting against
the forest trees Of Capitol PARK and with
the great dome above as a reminder of
the perpetuity OF the republic served SO
ably by the solder-President.

Night Riders in Virginia.

The ntght-rider movement. which con-
trolls the tobacco belts OF Kentucky and
Tennessee. has spread to the tobacco
belt of Virginia. Handwriting has bepun
near Danville and farmers are being
threatened by letter with respect to their
crops.
This was to be expected II lynchins
is in order In dealing with the tobacco
trust 1t must become general to win.
Wherever tobacco is grown planters must
be coaxed or driven to terms If any
great number hold out and insist upon
managing their own affairs. the pooling
proposition cannot realize the purposes OF
its promoters.
But it is both amazing and alarming
that lynching should have been adopted
in behalf of such cause. The tobacco
trust it is TO be admitted, is quite as
heartless as the other trusts. 1t would.
If il could. reduce the tobacco planters to
a condition of peonage. 1t has reduced
some of them to condition bordering on

A Kansas View of Cannon.

The Lawrence, Kansas, Journal con-
tributes the following to the gayety of the
nation:
The country is getting decidedly tired
of Speaker Cannon. He is no longer a
joke. but a serious proposition and a dis
tinctive menace to the welfare Of the
country
What is the sign of the countrys IA
tigue? 1t does not appear in the House.
The members of that body on both sides
of the chamber are anything but tired of
MIR. Cannon. On the republican side he
is very strong, and another republican
House will mean another term for him as
Speaker unless he is nominated for Presi-
dent at Chicago in June.
And when was Mr.. Cannon a joke? He
has never figured as such in Congress- He
has always been a minded man
there. and has so impressed his asso-
ciates. His committee assignments had
for years before his promotion to the
Speakers chair been highly important
and required of him the most serious at
tention. A constant study of the needs O,
this great government and how best to
supply them makes of man anything
but a joke. Ask some of the numerous
tobbers whom Mr.. Cannon as representa-
tive and as Speaker has baked about how
much of joke he is.
Maybe this Kansas newspaper has de-
rived its impression of Mr.. Cannon from
the cartoons and the squibs that for sew
eral years have been circulating. The
QuizZica1-looking man with a lighted cigar
in his mouth is popular in the prints
while Mr. Cannon's unconventional re-
plies TO interviewers are very quotable
and enjoy wide newspaper favor. If
they are not always as unconventional as
reported, and if the damns are often in.
PRODUCED without warrant, the Cannon
style is yet very distinct and very express
sive.
But there is no joke in this. On the
contrary all that MIR. Cannon is and saws
Is so much in support of the Journals
belated discovery that he is "a serious
proposition He has always been one

The Peace Monument.

A correspondent, whose letter is pub
lished elsewhere in tOdays issue of The
Star, offers the suggestion, apropos of the
removal Of Greenough's statue of WASH
ington from the east plaza of the Capitol,
that the misplaced Peace monument,
which stands at the western base Of the
hill, be also sent to a more appropriate
location. This is well worth considera-
ton. The Peace monument is virtually a
tombstone. standing outside of ceme-
terry. 1t should be transferred to burial
ground. preferably Arlington, where lie
thousands of the men who gave their lives
for the preservation of the Union.
If it is desirable to erect single monu-
ment in honor of the soldiers and sailors
who died for the country, the token of
national gratitude should certainly be
more impressive than the feeble, wholly
inadequate composition at the foot of
Capitol HILL Its true significance is lost
upon the great majority of those who
chance to notice 1t.
The Stars correspondent also suggests
that in place of the Peace monument the
Grant memorial be erected at the western
base of the hill. TO carry out this proro-
sition, of course. would involve material
changes in the outlines of the public res
ervation at that point. The memorial to
Grant. as designed, Is to be of generous
proportions, requiring commodious set
ting. 1t would be necessary to extend the
Capitol grounds to the west somewhat, an
Improvement of unquestioned advantage
to the city through the elimination of the
Objectionable conditions that exist at the
foot of the hill.

Our breezy Nomenclature.

The hill billy figures prominently in
the newspapers. He is the successor Of
the wool hat and the red neck and
something of the same order of citizen.
Whence the name, and what it's full
meaning?
The wool hat needed no explanation.
His headgear told all. He needed his
soft boiled hat, as distinguished from
the "hard-boied'' hattie derby-in his
business. When he worked in the field by
day it answered as sunshade, and when
he worked at draw poker at night it
softened the rays of the tallow dip and
enabled him to make a close examination
Of his hand. He was plain citizen with
out frills, and the hat proclaimed the man.
The red neck was quite as easily I'M
derstood. AS one of the common people
he must dress to suit his work. and he,
too, worked in the field A ''hard-boiled"
shirt and standing collar being out of
place there, he wore "soft-boiled"
shirt and the low collar exposed his neck
to the pitiless rays of the sun. He thus
became a "red neck by every right in
the line Of duty. Swells and town folk
might scorn him. but he had nothing to
apologize for, and was unafraid.
But the NIL OILY. VIAL VI Nc
does not always live in the hills, and his
name is not always Billy. He sometimes
halls from the swamps, and might very
we'll answer to Reube. Nor is he always
a plain citizen eating coarse bread in the
sweat of his face. He is often tough
person, and ripe for riot and other forms
of lawlessness.
Just now he is in the front ranks Of the
night riders who are defying all authority
in Kentucky, and throwing sections Of
that fair state into anarchy. The hill
billy" Is all sorts of fellow. and his
name is legitimate subject for inquiry.
All peoples are fertile in the manufac-
ture of nicknames and striking character
izations, but mono more so than our peo-
pie. Our slang Is probably as rich and
abundant as any on record. Our politics
in particular has developed this faculty
in us to really fine point. Nearly every
spellbinder has become a coiner of new
words and phrases which strike the popu-
lar fancy, and every campaign leaves
current expressions the fuller and hap
pier for the exercise of this humor.
Who will succeed the hill billy" as he
has succeeded the wool hat and the
red neck? We are approaching a cam
paign which, both because of it's i'm
portance and the new alignments likely,
should be prolific of new names and
idioms.

Maryland and the Tariff.

John Walter Smith is coming to Wash
ington year earlier than he had ar
ranged for, and regrets the necessity
He would have preferred a years study
Of the Senate from the outside before
taking up his new duties. But as the
successor of Mr.. Whyte he must get
into harness at once.
1t may, however, profit Mr.. Smith to
begin at this time. He will be able to
shake down before his place becomes ex-
acting. There is little doing in Congress
now. and an early adjournment is on the
cards. The supply bills are the chief
concern. This will enable Mr.. Smith to
take lesurely look around; and familiar
ize himself with forms against the day Of
action.
Action will begin a year hence, when
Mr.. Smiths full term in the Senate be-
gins. The new Congress will meet in
extra session to revise the tariff, and
that is subject about which all are in
terested. Both parties will expect every
man to be in his seat and to do his duty.
Mr. Smith as a successful man of bust
ness will have exceptional opportunity
to show his quality. The tariff question
is full of business.
which so enlisted the interest of Mr..
German in the tariff fight of 1894 Mary
land was prominent in that contest, and
under Mr.. Germans lead was arrayed in
the Senate on the side of protection. Mr..
German had the Wilson bill largely
recast when it reached the Senate, and
he added to it many protective fea-
lures. His party had won on free trade
platform, but as his connections with the
business world were close. his own views
reflected them; and he consulted in what
he did with men OF business rather than
with politicians.
Is Mr.. Smith OF the German school on
the tarlH? Or is he a free trader? His
colleague Mr.. Rayner, was member Of
the House which drew and passed the
Wilson bill, and he both spoke and voted
for it. AS member of the Senate now
he will probably take the same view of
the subject, and throw his influence into
the scale for a tariff for revenue only.
II the, two Maryland senators were to
divide on the question, the one giving
This influence to free trade and the other
| to protection, the situation would take
| on an added interest both here and at
home. Mr.. German always justified his
course by asse ring that at heart the
Maryland democracy was not for free
trade; and certainly it returned him to
the Senate after he had made mince-
meat Of the Wilson bill.

The GUN SHERIFFS.

They wasn't fancy takers and they didn't put

never scamped a deal.
They recognized two cIasses-one was bad and
one good
And they didn't hurt hombrey who behaved as

Went round an round an round:
The ceiin' got loose from the walls
An rested on the ground
The mantel shelf JUS danced Jig,
The sofa was a-swing;
/ tried to lie down there awhile
But couldn't catch the thing.
An then my head began to swim.
MY eyes, they both got blurred;
tried TO call our hired girl
But couldn't say a word.

Which rocked JUS like boat:
l felt like l burning up.
Ny tongue stuck in my throat

Ny ma came home an found me there.
As sick i could be:
She saw the pipe upon the door,

She wouldn't blieve me when said
