John T. McCutcheon in Appleton's Mag
 azine for May.
 One of the patriarcbs of the indicator once said that if he were an impresario Tn search of undeveloped talent he would visit ball game. He has heard voices from the bleachers which he says would make Plancon's and Caruso's appear like whispers in the matter of volume The umpire, without doubt, is the most cussed, most berated, most loved, most hated be- ing claiming American citizenship.
 But he simply is part and parcel of the great game of baseball-just as the "Rube" Waddell, the bleacher boys, the grandmother, the boss and the rest of the nation. There have been dire predictions that baseball eventually will die out. Maybe so, but when baseball ceases to exist the reins of government will be snapped asunder, and the millennium will be at hand. Baseball Is as strongly es- tablished as is the government at Wash ington, as strongly rooted in American affection as is a mothers love to her baby. Baseball may have it's off years, but so do the republicans. Baseball in all it's simplicity, in all its intricacies, is here to stay.

rich dark reds. The floors are of sun dried bricks and so are the walls. The roof is composed entirely of reeds of ele- phant grass, laid together in punches and so tied with black shrubs from the swamps as to give 1t decorative effect The roof is upheld by many red brick columns and the work of fitting the roof to the walls is beautifully done. The building is in the shape of cross with a great nave 60 feet wide and with a chan eel for the choir at the front. The peo- pie come in bringing skins and mats with them and they sit cross-legged upon these during the preaching.
 This great church Is the fourth which has been built here. The first was made many years ago. It was constructed by the voluntary labor of the natives, and it's labor cost represented 5000. This was at the rate of cents day for the men who worked upon it. and at our wages of S1 a day the labor cost would be over SS0,000. All the work was given of their own free will by the natives, and they must have had considerable faith to have done so A short time after that church was built it was destroyed by one of the big thunderstorms common to this part of the world. The present cathedral which has taken its place was erected in 1904 Ten thousand natives were present at it's dedication.

are now being sent to school and taught the three Rs. Both the Catholics and Frotestants have manual training schools and there is also a high school here at Mengo.
 The Namirembe Cathedral.
 I wish I could show the American skep- tics who doubt the good of mission work the great Protestant cathedral which has been built here by the natives with their own money. It stands on the hill of Ma mirembo, about three miles from Kam- pala, and it can be seen for miles around. My first glimpse of it was on my way in- land from Lake Victoria, and I thought then that it must be the palace of the King. It is an enormous structure of sun dried brick with a roof of velvety thatch which rises in three spires of the same material The architecture makes you think of the wonderful temples of Siam or Burmah, save that this, to my eye, is far the more beautiful. The structure covers about half an acre and 1t can accommo- date 5000 Yorshipers. Its walls are about 50 feet high and are of great thickness. They are of rich red color. From their tops sloping upward to a ridge with d hea autiful curve extends the mighty roof, which is so large that it took more than 200 tons of grass to cover it.
 The interior is equally beautiful. It Is symphony of whites and blacks and

TIE POLICY OF PROTECTION

Tie Ocala Banner says that it is
nor Inconsistent with the democratic
theory of tariff for revenue only to
pun our Florida citrus fruits under
the projection of the existing tariff
system. as these fruits are Injuries.
NOT necessaries. But what about Sea
Island cotton? Is that a luxury? Does
not the Banner want that rich and
profitable product of Florida soil also
TO enjoy the benefits of the DrOtec-
tive tariff. even though it is not q
luxury? Are we not all Hancock
democrats when our selfish interests
are at stake, and ariff-for-revenue-
only democrats when we have nothing
worth high tariff protection We
don't admit it; we only put the Ques-
ton 10 the Nestor of the Florida
press. While We are demanding that
the republicans shall revise the tariff
are there not a good many among us
VINO also have a sneaking desire
that the next democratic platform
shall undergo a little revising as TO
the tariff plank? There are a good
many near-republicans up in the Bir-
mingham district now, and among the
Louisiana sugar-planters, and if we
don't get the next democratic tariff
plank a little more to suit them there
will be trouble in the ranks and the
disafection Will spread-Pensacola
Journal.
The Ocala Banner is opposed to the
policy Of protection from "kiver to
kjver" 1t regrets to see any demo-
crat favoring a protective tariff for
the sake OF protection. It. however.
thinks that if protection is to become
the settled policy of the nation that
there should be no sectional discrim-
nations. All farm products and man
ufactured articles should be protected
impartially. There should be no IA
yors shown. Fish should not be made
of The products of one section and
fowl of the products OF the other.
Every manufacturer and every far
mer. north and south. should be fed
on, of the same spoon. If there is to
/ De a tax on wool there should also be
tax ON cotton: if a tax on apples,
there should be a like tax on oranges.
