The present business depression is
caused by the threat of both great
parties to revise the Tariff. The
fact that the Republican party is
committing itself to a revision makes
IL as certain as when Mr.. Cleveland
was elected the last time with a De-
mocratic Crogress, and We all know
what happened To the country as
soon as that fact became known at the
November 1902 election. 1t is con-
tended that the Republicans will re-
wise with the protective principle in
view, while Of course the Democrats
would make changes, If given power,
with Free-Trade or Tariff for revenue
only as their guide. In any event
the country does not know exactly
what is to happen, and in the mc4a-
time business will take rest and
await results. To our mind Republic
cans have made misrake in advoca-
ting any change In The Tariff, as a
whole, at this time. We were doing
we'll enough. IL is claimed by the De-
that the trusts can be smash

she had it handsomely bound. and it
was duly presented to Mr.. Roosevelt,
who has privately expressed his keen
appreciation of the literary merits of
the work. though modesty forbids that
he should show any recognition of the
resemblance of the hero to himself.

The Story of Poem Written
Thirteen Years Ago and
Suggested by the Character
Of the Man Now President.

IN days Of old it was not uncommon
for those who aspired to shine as
literary stars of their time to
write poems celebrating the deeds
of kings, princes and mobiles. Not in
frequently the lords who were glorified
in verse bestowed substantial rewards
upon the bards. 1t was their way Of
patronizing literature. As Julia Ditto
Young, author Of "Glynne's Wife"
and other novelties in verse, has re-
Gently published a poetical work
whose hero, Theodore-Surname not
given-bears a marked resemblance to
Theodore Roosevelt, it might be sup
posed that she wrote it on the plan
of the poets of olden time, with the
view Of securing an Office or some SUBJ
stantial emoluments from the powers
that be at Washington. But this
theory is untenable in view of the
fact that the work was composed over
thirteen years ago. when the only po-
litical jobs with which Mr.. Roosevelt
had to do were those connected with
the police force Of New York, and even
these were governed by strict civil
service rules. He was police commits
sioner of New York then and had
scarGely become a national figure.
though he was beginning to be talked
about as a municipal reformer and had
won fame In literature. But he had
yet to serve as assistant secretary OF
war, as warrior. in Cuba. as governor
of New York and as vice president and
to take his place under circumstances
most tragic and solemn as ruler Of the
nation. Yet as far back as 1895 Mrs.
Young saw in him one who was des-
tined to achieve much in his efforts
to uplift his fellow men. and he be-
came the prototype of the hero of. the
poem which is now being talked about.
1t is entitled "Barham Beach-A Poem
of Regeneration" and is published in
a limited edition. each copy bearing
the authors signature. But how does
it happen TO be published now when it
was written thirteen years ago?

NEGRO KILLS HIS WIFE.
Sam Stepney Shoots His Wife Through
Hand and Head. Nine Miles
from BrOOkhaVen.

Late Thursday evening Sam
Stepney. a 22-year -old negro shot
and killed his wife, Minnie, with
a 38 Smith and Wesson pistol on
Tom Newell's place 8 miles from
Brookhaven on the Red Star road.
Several hours after the killing
he was brought to town by Mr..
Ras Newell and turned over to
Sheriff j. f. Greer and lodged in
Jail.
When seen in Jail the negro said
that he was going after the COWS
and was going to take his pistol
with him but his wife objected
and playfully caught hold of it,
the weapon going off, the ball
passing through her hand and then
into her forehead, killing her in
stantly. He sald he didn't intend
to run off, but was warned at
once that some of bis wife's kins-
men might come and kill him and
he left his home and was brought
in by Mr.. Newell, as above stat
ed.

Boil Neevil in Louisiana.

Lafayette, La, July 9.-Tne
Mexican boil weeviI has at last
made its appearance in the north
ern part of Lafayette parish and
has been officially recognized as
the genuine pest of the cotton
fields. Last year the weeviI ap-
peared in st. Landry Parish and
invaded the fields in the southern
part just across the line from La
fayette. The insect, however, did
NOT get into this parish, or rather
there was no perceptibie damage
done, for many suspected that 1t
bad actually crossed Bayou Yer
million into this parish. Last
week the planters about Sunset
and in Cacencra wrote the Agri-
cultural Department of the State
and obtained the services of Ex-
|pert Garrett, of the Calhoun Sta
tion, for the purpose Of determin-
ing the real nature of the pest
ravaging their fields. After a
thorough examination Mr.. Gar
rett pronounced the insect the
genuine Mexican boil Weevil. So
far the pest is confined to few
fields along the extreme northern
border of the parish, and while
the damage so far has been inn
material, the farmers are taking
10 chances, but are carefully gath
ering the fallen forms and burn.

forms and squares. In the opin-
ion Of Mr.Garrett, Lafayette will
not feel the full force of the wee
lvil invasion this year, but the pest
will no doubt spread over the en-
tire parish next year. To what
extent the weeviI will affect the
present crop is, OF course, prob
|lenatical and dependent very
much on weather conditions and
| the success Of preventive measures
taken by the planters.
