Whisky Caused His Death

The large audience which filled
the court house at Louisa Tuesday
was visibly affected by an incident
in the trial of +. ID. Marcum. The
testimony of the Iamented conduc-
tor, Frank BIevI1s, given in the ex.
animation trial of this case was be
ing read by the stenographer who
recorded 1T. Complete silence pro.
vailed and the closest attention was
being given TO every word, when
the recital of the most dramatic
part of the episode ended With
these words in substance:
after Whitaker had been shot
aud the fighting had stopped, he
extended his hand to me for the
second time and said, 'Blevins.
shake hands with me again and
forgive me for what / have done.
If 1t bad not been for whisky this
would never have happened These
were the last words be spoke. -

The TeII-Tale Imports.

Tariff schedules may fool the pco.
ple-for n timc--but they do not foti
the experienced importers
While the dominating organization
Of congress has been telling the Coun-
try that the proposed revision viii be
downward revision. the importers
have been increasing their foreign pur-
chases because they know that there
is to be AN upward revision.
Last February, just before the extra
session OF congress began. and when
the whole country had a right to eX.
pect downward revision, as promised
by both parties. the imports had fallen
to a very low volume in anticipation
of more favorable duties.
The extra session had not progressed
very far before the imports began to
increase, and this increase has gained
with the consideration of the bill in
the senate.
in February IL was estimated that
the treasury deficit would reach $3.50.
OO0,O 900 by July l. but the imports
have increased so rapidly and so cnor
mously that the deficit is only SS9.'
600 900. or SAL 900 900 lower than the
estimate.
The increase in imports, at a season
when importations are ordinarily low,
means simply that the revised tariff
is going to be even more unfayorable
to the consumers than the Dingloy
tariff

The only available ground Of attack,
obviously, Is TO reduce the number of
standpattcrs so that in the senate, for
example, the organization may be
taken over by the prugrcssiycs and
leave the Aldrich crowd in q minority;
and even this can only be done in
states like Indiana. where tariff re-

But the voters OF each and every
state should strike as directly as pos
