H. D. Herring. proprietor and
manager of the Batesville Drug
Company, was stabbed five times

while Baldwin is q consumptive.
The wounds are not considered
serious by the attending PHI
sicians.
DR.. Baldwin was placed under
arrest.
The details of the quarrel are
not known, as DR.. Baldwin de-
clined to give out any lengthy
statement. 1t is known that he
went into the drug store to get
a prescription filled and that he
and Mr.. Herring quarreled over
the prescription. There were
few witnesses to the affair and
they are extremely reticent.

u YEARS GIVEN PICKETT NEGROES

Ell Dorado, April 1.-Immedi-
ately after the jury had render
ed a verdict of murder in the
second degree and fixed the
punishment Of Wilson and Henry
Pickett, charged with the murder
of Charles Abbott near Hampton,
December Il, at q years IN the
penitentiary, the two negroes
were taken by deputy sheritfs to
Collinston, La, in order that
tkey might escape any possible
violence here. The convicted
men will be taken to Little Rock
tonight and lodged in the peni-
tertiary.
The trial of the two Picketts
has been a sensational one IN a
number of respects. On the day
before the opening of the trial
Governor Donaghey was asked
to provide military protection
for the two men, as it was re-
ported that a mob was formed at
Hampton to come here and
lynch the two negroes. Govern
or Donaghey, accordingly, order
ed the company of militia here to
be modified at once and placed
at the disposal Of Sheriff Harmon
to guard the men. A large num-
Der of persons came here from
Hampton, the scene of the crime,
but there was no attempt at
violence.
The two Picketts are alleged to
have killed Charles Abbott in cold
blood and it was expected here
that they would receive the max
imum penalty. The Abbotts are
prominent in Calhoun county,
Fred Abbott, the wounded man,
being county treasurer.
The jury returned verdict
this afternoon and Immediately
steps were taken to remove the
prisoners from Ell Dorado. Depu-
ty Sheriffs Garland, Grace, E. L.
Dumas and Captain S. D. Craw-
ford took the men to CollinstOn,
and will guard them until they
are delivered to the authorities
at Little Rock.
Sheriff Harmon here declares
that he did not anticipate any
violence and that the rs persons
who came here from Hampton
and, whose coming aroused the
report that a lynching was plan
ned, were merely witnesses in
the case. But few of the men,
however. appeared in the case in
this manner.

Rut They Do. Know.

In the new tariff act the Republi.
IAN party says to the voters of the
United States that they do not know
what they want. With this is coupled
the declaration, running all through
the bill, that if they do know what
they voted for they shan't have it.
They asked for bread and the con-
gress has given them a stone. They
asked for revision downward in the
interest of the consumer. What they
get is the Dingley act with varia-
lions, Some in the higher key and
some in the lower, but the tune to
which the masses are mulcted is the
same.
The American people eve vote
decisively, one way or the other, with
out knowing just what they are voting
for. Last fall they voted to unshackle
American industry and trade, to de-
stroy the power of favored classes to
levy forced tribute from all other
classes, and, in tariff legislation, at
least, to return to the Democratic
principle of equal rights to all, spe-
cial privileges to none.
They knew what they were voting
for, and they have not forgotten it.
Fortunately, they vote every two
years on the membership of congress-
they will vote again Is months from

Old Time Utensils.

A pOrringer, as we now understand
it, is a small, shallow basin. The old
English term signified a deep cup,
two-handled, and with a cover. They
were in many sizes and usually of
metal, pewter or silver. Children usu.
ally ate from them. Wordsworth, in
his 1--WE Are Seven" says: "And Oft
en-, after sunset Sir, When it is light
and fair, / take my little porringer
and eat my supper there" .
The Warming Pan.-This sounds as
if it were a kitchen utensil, but our
forefathers used it to warm the ice
cold beds of the poorly heated houses
of a century ago.
The warming pan was of circular
metal, about a foot in diameter and
three or four inches deep. 1t had a

A bread-peel was a long-handled
shovel on which bread was placed;
it was then thrust on the coal. The
bread-peel was-to our pioneers
symbol of domestic peace and plenty,
and was always c~onspicuously placed
as an emblem of good-luck.

LITTLE FOR THE CONSUMER
Hard to See Where Republican Tar.
1T Revision Has Benefited the
A. Ordinary Man.

This much may be said Of the new
tariff act. On its face the law is
somewhat more favorable to the
American manufacturer than the
Dingley act. 1t ought to cheaper

some of this cheapening may filter
through to the consumer. But the
consumer directly gets very little.
1t seems probable that insofar as
the law will affect prices the adj
vances are likely to be more notice
able than the decreases.
: For instance, the decreases in the
steel schedule are not likely to affect
prices. About the only goods on
which the cost might be reduced are
lumber, boots, shoes, harness and
other leather manufactures. Prices
are pretty certain to be advanced
as a result of the revision on cotton
goods, hosiery, lemons, other tFop-
ical fruits, silks, chinaware and pos
sibly for a time on print paper. AID
vances on woolenS are expected be-
cause of the increasing monopoly OF
the American Wooden Company be-
hind the tariff wall.
The Republican party pledged It.
self to a revision of the tariff "by the
imposition of such duties as will
equal the difference between the cost
of :production at home and abroad, to-
gether with a reasonable profit to
kmorioop industries"
When you think of it it is an as
founding fact that in spite of this
pledge no statement has ever been
presented to either house OF congress
to show that the changes made in
the proposed law were based On the
differences in the cost of production.
The fact is that only ~fragmentary tes-
timony on this subject was obtained

LOOTING THE WEST
TARIFF TRickSTERS HAVE THEIR
LINES WELL LAID.
Ship Subsidy Scheme Will Take Mil.
|. lions From the Pockets Of West
ern Farmers to Enrich New
- England Capitalists.

Mock. tariff revision is bad enough,
but it is only the beginning, a bare
shadow of what is to come. The west
is to be looted thoroughly.
Prominent among, the schemes for
loot will be the ship subsidy. Aban-
doned shipyards line the New Eng
land coast. The high tariff which
supports the steel trust enabled the
steel trust to wipe out the %shipyards.
The ship subsidy is expected to set
those yards once more in operation.
For % years the shipbuilders Of
New England will receive an annual
bonus of $20,00 o 900, paid out of west
ern pockets, for nc earthly purpose
but to insure profits to eastern CAPT
talists and without the least advan-
tage to anyone else.
Great Britain's merchant navy
schedules 1S,S25,442 tons; that of the
United States 4,953,812 tons. Ameri-
can-built vessels can not compete
with British ships because the cost
of building ships in American yards
is excessively high on account of pro-
lection.
Witness the two steamers of the
Boston Transportation Company, sold
by Senator Lodge to the Panama "a
nal. The people of the United States
paid for those two vessels, which, by
the way, they have not been able to
use, $1,5O0,0 600. Ships of the same
size and of British register have re-
Gently been sold at auction on the
Pacific coast Of Canada for less than
$4,000.
But, because the high first cost of
American-built ships prevents their
competition with foreign f%reighters,
the western workingman and farmer
are to be taxed to substitute New
England ship owners, so that they
may make low freight rates and COM
pete.
This will be the first great scheme
to loot the west. The tariff tricksters
are we'll satisfied with the outcome of
their sham revision. Watch their
next move to loot the great inland
states for the benefit of New England.
