TARIFF COMMISSION OF 1882.

The tariff commission OF 1872 de-
vised and recommended the most i'm
portant features OF our present tariff
administration. IT originated the
appraisers court; aud recommended
most OF the administrative tariff
laws OF the treasury department
which have since been adopted. Con-
gress provided for the administra
tive machinery designed by this tar
i'll commission.
But the tariff commission We ask
for now does not go so far as the
tariff commission of 1882 went. We
are now asking only a commission
of experts to find out facts and make
sifications. Congress Is to fix
duties from these facts and adjust
them TO these classifications.
A permanent tariff commission Is
inevitable, because committees of
congress cannot do the work. These
committees attempt to find out the
facts by holding hearings. At
these hearings" crowds of men rep
resenting various industries DESTROYS
of special rates of duty, jam the
committee rooms Each one of them
II
particular business-of necessity he
Is far better prepared than the whole
committee put together. Very few
witnesses appear before the commit
tee representing the great body of
consumers.
These hearings are rushed through
with all possible speed, because the
country's business necessarily waits
until the new tariff law is passed.
After these brief hearings. the COM
mittee Is supposed to digest such
facts as the bulky volumes of such
testimony disclose. No equity court
would dare enter a decree in a single
cause where the testimony took up
even half the space of single vol
ume of these committee hearings,
without first referring such testimony
to a master in cnancery to have IL d.
gested and reported.
Having attempted to sift those vol
luminous masses of scattered testi-
mony thus hastily taken. the commit
tee next goes to the even harder
york of fixing new rates of duty
Before finally fixing them. they are
supposed to become thoroughly ae-
quainted with all the other elements,
foreign and domestic. already men,
toned which should determine those
duties. The result of all this is a
new tariff.
But We who are demanding an
American tariff commission are ask
ing only a commission which shall
find out and digest the facts and
make scientific classifications and re-
port both TO congress. so that con-
gress may have all this preparatory
work done when congress goes to its
legitimate york of fixing tariff du-
ties and determining tariff policies.

ing their existence into a prolonged drow-

IT is the lazy bug.
No bigger than a little eye lash, it has
become so prevalent here and in other
southern states. according to reports. that
Surgeon General Torney, of the United
States army, has been carrying on an ex-
tensive Investigation into it's cause and
has devoted an entire chapter of his forth
coming annual report to its effects. This,
1t is believed, will lead to a widespread
movement among boaros of health to ex-
terminate the dangerous pest
The lazy bug is sometimes called the
hook worm, and occasionally the uncin-
aria" which is it's book name. II you
should begin to feel an unaccountable ten
dency to yawn all day long, look out.
The lazy bug is after you, and you would
fare a thousand times better If all the
boyle men on earth were chasing you in
stead The lazy bug is at this moment
travelling through Georgia by regiments,
brigades and army corps. Millions Of
them sometimes stop by the way, walk
into a mans blood. hang up their hats
and make themselves at home for the rest
of his life Then the man, or the child,
finds himself growing sleepy. He doesn't
give a rap for anything. He becomes
Rip Van Wrinkle.
DR.. II. F. Harris, secretary Of the state
board of health of Georgia, is the dis
coverer of the lazy bug in this section.
He calculates that II causes more loss to
Georgia in the way of human health and
capacity than any other single disease.
In some portions of the state, particular
ly the southern portions, whole communi-
ties have fallen into a browse because
of this parasite. When these people move
to cities, especially cotton mill districts,
they carry their lazy bugs with them, and
so it happens that Monsieur Uncinaria
finds his way at times into city streets
as we'll as rural lanes.
When 1t became known In Atlanta Tues
day that the lazy bug is abroad in the
land, DR.. Edgar Paulin, who is associ-
ated with DR.. Harris. on the state board
of health, was Immediately communica-
ted with. He is a specialist on the sub
ject and was prepared to give valuable
advice.

ST. IOUIS.-Another chapter has been
added to the remarkable career OF
Broughton Brandenburg, magazine writer
and adventurer, by the second disappear
ance from this city of his little stepson,
James Shepard Cabanne III. Branden-
berg already stands accused of kidnapping
the child once and taking him to San
Francisco. 1t was there he was arrested
on a charge of selling a forged interview
with the late Grover Cleveland.
Cleared of the forgery charge in New
York court, Brandenburg had to stay In
a celfhere until bail was procured for him
on the kidnapping charge.
James Shepard Cabanne, father OF the
child, has left st. Louis also. His where
abouts are concealed by members of the
aristocratic Cabanne family. the Oldest
west of the Mississippi.
It is a strange story, this of the Ca
bannes, aristocrats of great city, and
Brandenburg, adventurous world traveller,
with long record of exploits to his cred
it, as we'll as a record Of imprisonment
in many places.
Through it all one can see a repetition
of the old story of how a woman's love
for a man will lead her to the end of the
earth for him.
Brandenburg married Mrs. Cabanne
after a divorce sensation. The boy van
ished. was brought back by officers, then
vanished again. The second time the
family feared a kidnaper was holding
him for ransom. A ma was seen talk
ing with the boy near his home, on
Cabanne avenue, and this man was sup
posed to be a member Of the black hand.
Now the child's mother and Branden-
burg are believed to hold the secret Of
the boys present whereabouts. The child
will return and testify for Brandenburg
it is believed, when the trial of the author
