A TARIFF REVISION

Payne, Who Also Shows Up Some
Of Mr.. Bryan's Tricks.

to me they will declare for a revision
OF the tariff
Republican applause greeted this ut
terance.
Payne was followed by Thomas, n.
c.. who devoted himself to the sub
iects Of states rights and tariff re-
vision. He said that until recently
no one had dared to affirm that the
scope of the Constitution could be ex-
tended hy judicial construction beyond
its plain meaning and intent or tina,
the general government could exercise
power not granted in that instrument
Both President Roosevelt and Sec
Root, however, had declared ard pre-
mulSated doctrines New and danger
GUS AMI foreign to all ideas of founders
of the republic"
The doctrine advocated by Mr.. Root
that the states must surrender more
and more of their power to the ma
tional government. said Thomas, was
prolific of the greatest evil.
Thomas said that the President had
announced a strange doctrine when he
declared in a speech at Harrisburg
Pa, that an inherent power rested in
powers conferred upon it by the Con-
stitution The doctrine he declared
was fatal to the American form of
government and full of tremendous
consequences. In the recent railroad
rate controversy in North Carolina.
Thomas said that his state had vindi-
Gated its rights to enforce its laws.
The action of North Carolina and
other states in the South" he said,
Following the speeches of the Presi-
dent and Sec. Root and coming closely
after the Carolina school incident
makes the old question of states rights
of great interest not only to both but
to the whole country.
Thomas said that the Democratic
party did not stand for free trade. but
rather for revision and reduction OF
the tariff.
Thomas predicted that upon the is

preservation of self government Demo

remarks, said he could scarcely tel,

TASTE OF REAL WINTER.
New Workers Experience Coolest
Weather of This Season.

New York, Feb. with the thcr-
mometer registering Il temperature IF
one degree above zero ut = O'Clock this
morning, New York experienced a
taste of real winter. It was three de-
grees colder than any previous day
this season and within one degree Of
the cold weather record in New York
for the past five years. Since 1903 the
temperature has never gone below zero
but during that time has twice touch
ed that point
Zero is very cold weather for New
York, for the lowest temperature ever
recorded by the local weather bureau
was 6 degrees below zero and that
has been reached only four times in
the last SO years.
The city lodging house ami tie coy
cred pier of the charities bureau were
oyercrowded with homeless men last
night. The body of an unidentified
man who had crept into the coal bunk
ers of a steamer lying at a dock in
Brooklyn and frozen to death during
the night, was found TO-DAY.
New York harbor was filled with 2
great field Of broken drift ice which
lmpeded the passage of all except
powerful craft. The Hudson river, q
few miles above the city. was frozen
over solid. Reports from points in the
northern part of New York showed
colder weather than ever before re-
corded. At Saranac Lake the tempera

seed of the average sweet pea. 1t has
wings, red, white or black, and is very
pointed at either end. DR.. Mcdonald Of
East MachiaS. who made n mi
crOScOpic examination of the insect
says he cannot determine to what
species it belongs or where it came
from. The idea has been advanced hv
some of the neighbors that it came
from the Machias river. Recently there
have been several upheavals from the
bottom Of the river, the cause of which
never has been fully determined. and
it is said these insects have been seen
floating on the surface after such erup-
lions.
The physician who last visited the
woman states that on turning down
her lower lip scores of these insects
We're found imbedded in the flesh, their
dark bodies giving the surface a black
appearance. She still is in a critical
condition, brought on by the constant
strain for weeks, neighbors having re-
fused to approach the house or to allow
these sOrely afflicted people to enter
their homes, according to Rev. Mr.
Brown.
The insect keeps itself secluded as
far as possible in the day time and at
night comes out with renewed forces
and the occupants of the house are
obliged to sit up all night and fight
them, as they will enter the mouth
nose and ears and fill themselves with
blood.
The State Board of Health will he
asked to make an investigation.

Mr.. Brown, who is considered in

distant. After being on the road a few
minutes the horse began to act n@r-
