extent that there was no organized

and love they visited the graves OF
the dead warriors and left tokens
of their appreciation of work in pre-

business Grows Rctter.

| The Henry Clews letter issued at
the end OF the week is even more
optimistic than the previous one,
in which rapidly improving business
conditions were described. Besides
lcalling attention to the fact that
1.-THE money market continues well
lsupplied with funds and great sur
plus OF money Is seeking employ
ment not only in the United States
but also in all parts of the world, as
well as making reference to the ex-
.cellent prospect for good corn and
cotton crops, as the result OF which
"our farmers will again be a highly
important element in the contina-
ance of national prosperity Mr..
Clews places emphasis on present
and prospective industrial condi-
lions, as follows. which is some
what detailed proof or corroboration
of what business men are exper-
fencing and expecting:
The most encouraging conditions
in sight are those connected with
the industrial situation. Our iron
trade shows steady improvement,
ever branch of the latter feeling the
influences of regeneration, the vol
ume of business being almost up to
nravinue vnnrs can,a nons;ja.o1,lo
new capacity remains unemployed,
yet the tendencies are toward
further betterment. and prices are
rising. Railroads have placed large
orders for rails, structural material.
cars and engines. The building
trade continues excellent and is also
a source of much new business,
shrewd and wealthy operators hav-
ins recognized that the present is a
most desirable opportunity in which
TO place their orders before further
advances are established.
The copper industry is also feel
ing the effects of industrial improves
ment; consumers are placing in
creased orders, and prices have been
firm, although production is still In
excess of consumption and supplies
on hand and remain excessive. In
the textile industries there is consid-
cradle activity, especially in cotton
goods; and the dry goods market
generally is in exceptionally sound
condition, although the usual period
OF summer quiet is now approach
ing.
1t is significant that Fall River
cotton manufacturers did not en-
force the reduction in wages this
week, which they could have done
in accordance with the labor con-
tract. This showed satisfaction with
present conditions and confidence in
the future. The wooden mills are
sold up and the big concerns hold
very large orders.
All things considered, the mercan-
tile situation is as satisfactory as
could he expected and should show
ia fnrthsr Improvement next autumn,
providing there is no disappoint-
ment regarding the harvest. Rail-
Foal ;raiIic shows steady improve
ment ana is being done on much
more profitable basis than last year
owing to new economies and better
rates.

WASHINGTON. d. C.. May 81
The sensation OF the week ended in the
Senate was the open advocacy of II
protective tariff by the Hon. Samuel
ID. McEnery, senior senator from
Louisiana. Mr.. McEnery has been
governor of Louisiana. associate jus
tice of the supreme court of that state.
and has been a member of the United
States Senate since 1897. In a per-
fectly straightforward manner he
took up the matter of tariff for rev.
enue only and showed how thorough
~ absurd 1t was. He further showed
that Washington, Jefferson, Hamilton.
and other great men who assisted in
founding this government all believed
in Il protective tariff. He appealed

Sond their localities and abandon
their absurd idea and theory for a
revenue and vote for and support the
industries of the United States. He
urged and insisted for a tariff on SUI.
gar; not that II was a revenue pre-
ducing object but that 1t was an alb

become independent of any foreign
nation for any necessity which it re-
quires for Its support and mainte-
nance. He claimed that the protcc-
tion sentiment was growing rapidly
in all parts of the South and urged
his colleagues TO get in the band

His remarks were received with
much interest. Democrats as well as
Republicans crowded around him
while he was speaking and listened
attentlvcly 10 all he had 10 say. The
departure of Senator McEnery from
tariff for revenue only" is but the be-
ginning Of changes which will line up
the old parties on different lines.

USE BAYONETS ON
CROWD IN CHICAGO

Chicago. Aug. 1s.-Twenty persons
were injured when a company of Polish
s~harpshooters returning from a picnic
charged a crowd OF men, women and
children with bayonets. The trouble
started when the captain of the COM

the youngster did not get out of the
way quickly enough to suit the officer.
This enraged the crowd which had
gathered to see the soldiers, and the
company was surrounded and an ex-
PLANTATION demanded by the angry
people. Finally the mother of the boy
attacked he captain with a stick. The
captain then ordered his company,
which consisted of about 20 men, to
charge the crowd with their bayonets.
The crowd fought back and outnum-
bered the soldiers. The riot became
general and the captain Of the COM
pany was n Of the first to retire.
A riot call was sent in for the police

OF the soldiers. all of whom were more
or less bruised.
