ROLL ON, SILVER MOON.

ROLL ON, SILVER MOON.
AS / strayd from my cot at the close
of the day,
Mid the ravishing beauties of June,
Meath a jessamine shade / espied a
fair maid,
And she plaintively sighed to the
moon.
CHORUS.
Roll on, silver moon, guide the tray-
eler on his way.
While the nightingale song is in
tune,
I mover, never more with my true love
will stray
BY thy soft silver beams gentle
moon.
AS the hart on the mountain my love
was brave,
So noble and manly and clever,
So kind and sincere, and he loved me
full dear,
Oh! my Edwin, his equal was never.
But alas! he is dead and has gone to
deaths bed,
Cut down like rose in full bloom;
And alone doth he sleep, while thus
sadly weep,
Meath thy soft, silver light, gentle
moon.
His lone grave III seek out until
morning appears,
And weep oer my lover SO brave,
IN embrace the cold sod and battle
with my tears,
The sweet flowers that bloom o'er
his grave.
An, me. neer again may my bosom
rejoice,
For my lost love l fain will meet
soon,
And fond lovers will weep,
Ger the grave where we sleep
Meath thy soft silver light, gentle
moon.

WHAT CITIZENS SHOULD DO

Now is the time for all American
citizens to make their wants known
about the tariff. Every citizen
should study the tariff schedules, as
certain whether they suit him, whetb-
er they are too high or too low
whether they need revision up or
down and how mucn and then write
his Congressman or Senator what his
judgment is regarding the subject.
Some OF our citizens have visited
their representatives in Washington
and told them what they think is for
the public welfare or at least what
they want. That is within their
rights. But everybody should do
that or write to them and state their
wishes. But they should first inform
themselves as to what the present
duties are and whether they are too
high or too low. There seems to be
a few people with such rudimentary
intelligence that they think citizens
have no right to think about this
matter or to entertain an opinion
about IL. But that position is ridi-
culous. The question is now up and
everybody has a right to an original
opinion. However, that can only be-
come valuable to society by having
il freighted with intelligence. A
man must know something about his
subject to be able to discuss 1t in
telligently. Mere guessing about it
win not go. This is the time for
analysis, comparison and careful in
vestigation. But it is no time to ap-
ply party shibboleths. The hour
for recasting the schedules has come
and that work should be done in a
way that will stand the test OF time
and the assaults OF able opponents
either from above or below, from
without or within. II anybody has "A
valuable opinion about this matter let
him send it to his favorite news.

tion. And let many electors write

T-HlE HAINs NNRDICr

If Mr. McIntyre's description Of
the killing of william E. Annls as
retrfbutive death by ''Act of God"
had been followed by the acquittal Of
the slayer, New York would have
been shamed before the country. The
verdict which the jury yesterday
reached first-degree manslaughter, is
substantial punishment. 1t redeems
Queens county from the stigma cast
upon it by the failure of justice in
the preceding trial of Thornton Jen-
kins Hains. 1t reflects credit upon
the conduct of the case for the peo-
pie, the fairness and firmness Of
the Judge and the faithfulness of the
jury.
Few will crticise the reluctance Of
jurymen who had seen in court Capt.
Hainss stricken mother, and had
heard her testify for her son, be-
cause they did not send that son to
the death chair. The important
thing is this The plea OF the Gun
written law" has been reie1ted; and
in this community it was time. Some
thing less should be heard of that
plea hereafter.
The defense of insanity is legal,
valid and proper. If accepted by a
jury in a murder case It does not
leave the slayer unrestrained, or
crime encouraged, or the community
unprotected. But as a defense It is
now the favorite reliance of men
who, having killed their enemies for
what to their private judgment
seems good cause, are eager to
walk out of the courtroom free and
be hailed as heroes. They wish to
be found mot guilty" by unwritten
law. Justice is held in too low
esteem and human life TOO cheap in
community where purposed killing
often has this sequel.
The Hains case has cleared the air.
The verdict will be welcomed in a
community where crimes OF passion
and revenge are all too common. 49,

between churches to cease.
Rt. Rev. William Crosweil Doane,
bishop of Albany, N. ", followed
with a paper, in which he declared:
''The outlook for visible Christian
unity, that is to say of n unity that
involves uniformity so as to oblit-
crate all differences of religious
opinion, or expression of feeling,
seems not likely to be realized in
this world. That beautiful picture
of Pentecostal days, when they all
in one place, with one accord, con-
tinued in prayer and duplication,
is a vision to which we look back
with longing eyes and hearts, but
hardly forward with the hope OF
future realization.
Finding little hope for this matter
from the Protestant denominations,
or from Rome, Bishop Doane wrote:
81 wish myself that our eyes were
turned more, as they used to be, to-
ward the Catholic movement in Eu-
rope, and j do think 1t our bound-
en- duty to take steps toward recon-
cillng the Reformed Church in Amer
lea"
In closing the discussion Canon
H. Ensley Henson, of Westminster,
England, said, in part:
THE machinery of religion-priest-
hood, sacraments, liturgies, ascetic
disciplne-is everywhere similar,
showing plainly that these have
their origin in common needs rather
than in any pattern in the mount
super-natuI ally communicated to
the founders OF the church. In these
circumstances manifestly the old,
ruthless doctrine when separated
Christianity sharply from all other
religions, ascrfbing these to an evil
source and limiting the motion OF di-
vine revelation solely to the religion
OF Christ, cannot maintain Its
ground. Either all religions exhibit
the action OF the Holy Spirit or
none. The difference between them
Is one of degree, not of kind"

was early disposed OF, when Aldrich

TILE TARIFF PROSPECTS

Last December, Judge Taft said in
an address, "it would be better TO
have no revision at all unless we are
going fairly and honestly TO revise
the tariff on the basis promised by
our party" That basis is a rate OF
duty equal TO the difference between
the cost Of labor in this country
and abroad with the addition OF a
reasonable per cent on the invest
ment.
That basis constitutes the promise
made to the country, to which Mr..
Taft referred. The terms are not
definite. And the fight Is right there.
There is a claim that the highest duty
Is quite within the terms. But there
is a wide impression that there has
been an effort to put on all the duty
that Is possible within the most lib
eral Interpretation OF the promise.
This seems 10 be the case, for the
Dingley rates remain in status quo,
or, in a more political sense, stand
pat, since, If there Is any differences
on way or the other, there is a slight
per cent of the upward tendency. II
this should finally appear to the
President, there Is some question
what he will do-yeto or approve.
He may approve on the idea that
the Republican party must do some
thing; but the question will then
arise, is 1t somethlng?-Ohio State

Being TRIED
ON SHIPBOARD
Negro Mess Attendant Who Killed
Man in Prize Fight Given Court
Martial, Though Two States Had
Asked for Him.

WASHINGTON, August 20.-A wire
less message was received at the navy
department today from Rear Admiral
Schroeder, commanding the Atlantic
fleet, saying that David Williams, a
mess attendant on the batleship Yer
mont, now is being tried by court
martial at sea on the charge of man
slaughter.
This is a sequel to a boxing match
which occurred on the battleship Yer
Mont off Provincetown, Mass, between
Williams and another mess attendant
named Harrison H. Foster, several
weeks ago. The latter went to his
quarters, however, and did not apply
for medical attention until the next
day when it was found that his skull
was fractured. He died a few hours
later. A naval inquest was held over
his body and a verdict was rendered
that his death was the result Of his
head striking the floor and that no
one was to blame.
The civil authorities of Massachu
sets were not satisfied at that time
with that conclusion and made appli-
cation to the naval authorities for the
surrender of Williams to the state au-
thorities for trial on the charge Of
manslaughter, whereupon Rear Ad
miral Schroeder appointed a regular
court of inquiry which recommended
that williams be formally tried by
navy court martial.
In the meantime the state of Mas
sachusetts withdrew its application
for the surrender of Williams and an
application of similar character was
made by the authorities of the State OF
Georgia, but in case Of conviction he
will not be surrendered until he has
suffered punishment.
