Dolliver Then, Dolliver Now.

How perfectly akin Dingleyism and
Lincolnism are, when examined IN
the sun light of histoTy!-Congress-
man Jonathan p. Dolliver in speech
delivered on the floor of the Ma
;ional House, March 27, 1S97.-"Con-
gressional Record" Vol. So, page ia.
Thus the Dolliver of thirteen years
ago. Then Lincolnlsm and Dingleyism
were with him Synonymous terms.
Both Lincoln and Dingley were stall
wart, uncompromising Protectionfsts
and Dolliver admired them without
limit. Dingleyism found full express
sion in the Dingley Tariff law, which
Dolliyer helped to frame and pass. He
was proud of the law, proud of the
splendid prosperity which it brought
to the country.
After twelve years of Dingley pros
perity we find a changed Dolliver.
Now he denopEces Diugleyism. 1t is
no longer akin to Lincolni;m. 1t is
now hateful, shameful thing, the
Dingleyism and Dolliver disvows and
spurns it. He publicly avowed in the
Senate last year that he was asham-
ed of the Dingley Tariff and tired of
apologizing for it. Other days, 9th

when he was unable to obtain the
place on the Senate Finance Com

virtually is that Dingleyism, so far
from being akin to Lincolnism, is

GUY BROWN
WAS MURDERED.
Stoned to Death In New River
While Attempting Escape
As Prisoner.

In The Republican Of last week was
given a short account Of Guy Brown,
son of Mrs. Sarah Brown, Evansville,
Ind, formerly of Ohio county, being
drowned in the river at Hinton, w.
Va. Guy was a nephew of John and
Daniel King and Mrs. Emma Hudson,
Hartford. Fridays Evansville Courier
contains the following details of the
affair:
Guy Brown, the Evansville boy who
was drowned at Hinton, w. We, was
stoned to death, according to letters
received by Mrs. Brown yesterday
fl, m several of the citizens of that
place and she starts to Hinton at mid
night tonight to prosecute the slayers
of her son.
Guy Brown and George Hoffman,
both of Evansville, attempted to es-
cape from a chain gang that were
working on a rock pile on the banks
of New river. The two boys plunged
into the river in their break for lib
erty. The letters received by Mrs.
Brown from eyewitness to the
tragedy, say that the overseers of the
chain gang ordered the other convicts
to stone the boys in the river.
The letters say that Brown was
stoned to death and did not drown.
The body has not been recovered, but
a crew of men are at work dredging
the river in hopes of finding the dead
boy. When the body is found, the
evidence will rest on whether there
are marks of the stones or not, and
such as to cause death.
Hoffman and Brown were with the
Schemet Zouaves in the Norris and
Rowe circus. The circus went to the
wall at Cincinnati and the two boys
were beating their way to Baltimore,
Nd. At Hinton they camped for the
night under a cliff on the property of
he C. and o. railroad. They were
lrTested for trespassing and sentenced
% sixty days in the workhouse, The
lard work was breaking Brown down
and the two companions conspired to
make a break for liberty.
Mrs. Brown is going to Hinton to-
night to prosecute the people instru-
mental in the death of her son. The
citizens of Hinton wrote to Mayor
Heilman also and asked him to help
in getting to the bottom of the out
rage and assist Mrs. Brown in her en-
deavors to prosecute the guilty per-
sons, .-.

The finding OF the remains oI
Alma Kellner and disclosures which
make certain the fact that the little
girl was assaulted and murdered in
the most brutal and horrid manner
may well cause the people in this
enlightened age to pause ard con-
slider whether or not something may
be wrong with our social conditions
and whether or not there is deficl-
.ency in the machinery upon which we
reply for the suppression and preven-
ton of crime. The city Of Louisville
has been in the habit Of pointing TO
her citizenship as the embodiment
Of the best and most law abiding in
Kentucky, suitable for an example
TO the rural districts. Her newspaper
have gone out OF their way to en-
large upon ard oftim@s magnify
crimes committed during the tobacco
troubles in various counties in Ken
lucky, and a few years ago even Went
to the extent of organizing themsei-
yes into an association which had for
its purpose the suppression Of crimes,
more especially connected with che
tobacco troubles. Developments made
In the past few days in connection
with the Kellner murder indicate that
not only has this organization utterly
failed at home TO aid in che suppress
sion OF crime, but has suffered the
city of Louisville to be placed In
the hands of police force and would
-be-detectives who, according to one
daily paper of that city, have dis
played unusual lack of ability in then
efforts TO ferret out this crime and
il may be said in this connection and
1t is doubtless true many ofher
crimes committed in the metropolis
I'd our state. AL of this as we said
in the out ct may cause us to ask the
question whether our machinery which
has been inaugurated for protection

need a rehauling from its very depths

Tariff Rest or Tariff Agitation,

President Taft while expressing the
belief shat the existing Tariff law is
the best ever passed, yet helps TO ad-
vance Tariff agitation by seeking to
get large appropriation for 'dhe Tar
if board with a view of preparing
for another Tariff bill. The chance
of his success in that work is prob
lematical, but if Senator Hale is safe
prophet no such provision will pass the
Senate at this session of Congress.
Senator Hale says that the Tariff
law will vindicate itself in due course
and that the country is entitled to a
rest. The Republicans in both bran
ches of Congress, with some iusurgent
exceptions, hold the same view. The
one valid objection to the existing
law is that it has promoted the inn
portation OF foreign goods to too large
an extent. Thus for the month of
March the imports aggregated in va
lue $162, 955, 076, while the exports were
only $143,7OO,46S. The exports were
less than the imports also in Febru-
airy. For the nine months ending with
March partly under the old law, the
excess of Sxpor's was $16S,673,2 37, as
compared with an excess of more than
twice that amount for the correspond
ing time ending March, last year, and
three times that amount for the cor
responding time ending with March,
1907. With an adverse balance of trade
against the county of nearly 100000
900 month, as in March, the advoca-
ties of a lower Tariff ought to be
satisfied, though many of them seem
to be taking the Democratic position
OF favoring an humiliation of the
Tariff so far as it's Protective
elements are concerned.

THE CHINESE LANGUAGE

No one who has had any experience
with the Chinese language will dis
approve of the recent decision of the
government of that nation to make
English the official language of the
scientific and technical schools. There
are so many almost imperceptible diff
ferences in accent and the tone of
voice to be used that the progress of
most foreigners is usually far from
rapid. 1t is some comfort to think,
says Miss A S. Roe in "China as I
Saw It." that there is not a Chinese
person who can recognize" the whole
of the $4,000 characters. To "recog-
nize characters" means to be able to
read.
Apart from the characters, the idiom
presents untold difficulties to a western
mind. With a view to future CONVEX
sations I learned by heart such COM
monplace sentences as these:
middle kingdom falls, speak get
come, speak not Gomez" (Do you speak
Chinese?)
To this imaginary question I picture
myself answering:
"Some clause words speak get come.
I learning slowly, end not attain"
Ct speak a little I learn slowly.
1t is more than likely that in using
the wrong tone of voice you have con-
veyed an absolutely different meaning
from the one you 1nUended. by speak
ing in the upper level tone instead of
the lower level tone. or the vanishing
tone instead of the entering tone, you
have spoiled the whole thing, and by
some slight mistake of this kind have
said river instead of fire, or sleep in
stead of water or ducks eggs instead
of Adam.
Or possibly you have aspirated the
letter "k" that should have been left
unaspirated, and this may mean the
difference between a wife and fowl
Tn a monosyllabic language of $4,000
different characters and only about 46O
sounds it stands to reason that there
are numbers and numbers of words
which sound exactly alike, and very
often cannot even be distinguished by
a tone of voice. Under the sound of
"chi," a certain dictionary gives nearly
200 different words. Imagine a SEN
tence of this kind:
"Chi, chi chi chi, chi chi chi, chi chi
ch'ih.''
This means, "When ones hunger is
keen, one recollects that there are
fowls to be had, and makes an ar
rangement by which one can get them
to eat"-Youth's Companion.

Jennie was very hard to amuse. They
