SenSeleSs Talk.

The effort of Mr.. Taft to break
the solid south at this time viii
amount to but little.
What can the republican party
offer the south2
What advantages, other than the
few federal offices are the people OF
the south to obtain2
Surely, the southern people have no
interest in the pluudering policies of
protection which is the seminal idea
the very life blood of republican
ism
Aside from the dishonesty and in
justice Of the protective tariff, it is
not to the material advantage Of the
southern people.
The southern white man is not
in accord with the republican party
on the race question.
The Authorization of the mail
service, and putting negroes in inn
pOrtant offices is far from agreeable
to any decent white man in the
south.
When the republican party chang
es its policies and repudiates It's an
cient principles, and the negro shall
be eliminated from politics. there
may be some hope of it invading
the south successfully.
But as long as it stands as it is to-
day, the south will remain as solid
as the rock Of Gibraltar.-T Issue.

It Is more than probable that not

able to escape capital punishment or

Pistols and Murder.

There il much TO reflect upon and
commend in the following comment
Of the indianapolis News upon the
violence that disgrace= not only that
city but pretty nearly every urban
community in the United States:
Possibly the appalling list of muir
ders which has disgraced this city
since the beginning Of the year
would have been shorter If the pur-
chase of deadly weapons We're not 50
easy. In the absence Of regulations,
any man or boy who has the price
can arm himself, ready To play the
+ assassin whenever the humOr SO in
clines. But were the purchaser Of
deadly weapons compelled to estab-
/ lish a character for peace and TO show
/ that his associations were reputable,
conditions might be different. More
over, the law providing a penalty
for carrying concealed weapons bears
too lightly on the offense. even if It
were inforced strictly. 1t is high
/ time that the sale and carrying Of
pocket firearms were more strictly
/ regulated and controlled How
many pistols are manufactured in
the United States we do not know;
| but the numb Der should be ascertain
ed for the information Of the public
A pistol is the favorite tool of the
murderer. and it ought to bear as
! heavy a tax as alcohol, that stlmu-
lates the malice of the human heart
and lends nerve to the human hand
to do murder. Just now Congress
Is enacting a law TO raise revenue.
Alcoholic beverages will pay a heavy
tax; and why not put even a great
er tax on that other and equally
vicious luxury, the deadly weapon
which is the means Of so much wan
ton bloOdshed? Not one pistol in
ten thousand is purchased for any
| other use than the taking Of a hu-
man life. 1t is true that many good
citizens carry them but they would
cease to do so if the laws against
murder were enforced and murderers
brought to swift justice for THEN
crimes. Failing a law taxing the
pistol out of existence, the next best
thing is the regulation of their sale,
as suggested by the Indianapolis
| News. Merchants sell pistols for
the profit they make, just as whisky
| are manufactured for the same reas-
on-proft. Why not put these
twin instruments of murder on an
exact equality before the law
| Would it not be wholesome enact
ment to provide that the family Of
a murdered man should maintain
an action for damages against the
merchant who furnished the muir
| derer with the weapon he employed
to commit the crime? The Anti-sa-
loon League would show good gen
eralship to detach corps de army
against the pistol maker, the pisto
seller and the pistol toter.-Wash.

ChamberlaIns Lininents.

This is a new preparation and a
good one. 1t is especially valuable
as cure for chronic and muscular
rheumatism. and for the relief from
pain which it affords in acute inflam-
atory rheumatism. Those who have
used it have invariably spoken of it
in the highest terms of praise. Lame
back, lame rhoulder and stiff neck are
due TO rheumatism of the muscles,
usually brought on by exposure to
cold or damp, and are quickly cured
by applying this liniment freely and
massaging the affected parts Sore
ness of the muscles, whether induced
by violent exercise or injury, is allay-
ed by this liniment. For Sale by all
druggists and medicine dealers.

Some of the Senate leaders show a
disposition to insist that the Re
publican platform does not promise
revision downward The platform
did not specifically say that duties
should be lowered, but it did not
say, on the other hand, that they
ought to be increased. 1t held
that the true policy of the Republi-
can party was To impose such du-
ties as will equal the difference be-
tween the cost of production at home
and abroad, together with a reason
able profit to American industries.
1t is said also that the aim and pur-
pose of the Republican policy were
to preserve without excessive du-
ties, that security against foreign
competition to which American
producers are entitled. A tariff to
offset the normal increased cost Of
production here was evidently the
ideal aimed at by the conven-
ton, and Is certainly the ideal aim
ed at by the party. Ii the differ
ence in cost of production is over
come the domestic manufacturer is
certain of a reasonable profit; for
the fore ign producer would not. ex-
cept under exceptional circum-
stances. send his goods here to be
sold unless he were himself assured
of a reasonable profit. The Dingley
rates cover in many cases more than
difference of cost and reasonable
profit, and if the protective princi-
pie is to be intelligently and equita-
bly, applied, such rates should be re-
duced in accordance with national,
and consequently with good party,
policy New York Tribune.
