Her Only Correction.

A young widow went to select a
monument for her recently deceased
husband. After due considera ton she
picked out a stone and ordered the
following inscription placed upon it:
'My grief is more than can bear"
The man who was to erect the
monument was little tardy in doing
it and the widow remarked before it
was done. This fact worried him, as
he feared that he might have to change
the wording of the inscription. So he
called upon the lady and told her that
he was now ready to do his work, and
after some hesitation asked her if she
wished to change the wording of the
inscription in any way.
She politely replied: "No, just as 1
gave it. only add at the end the word

Gen. Miles Memoirs.

Memoirs are always interesting,
since they bring the personal into
prominence, SAYS II. c. Cleaner in the
Catholic Columbian.
Gen. Miles has written his memoirs
under the title of Serving tho Repub-
lic." Miles has had a great career, a
Major General when he was "a, in
command of a corps of tho Army of
the Potomac in the Civil War, a Gen
cral who brought to close the long
drawn out Indian wars and in COM
mand Of the army that added Porto
Rico to our territory, he has plenty of
material from which to pen readable
book and he seems to have been sue
cessful. Here are a few sentences that
bear no doubt as to his opinion:
".rhe art OF war among the white
race is called strategy or tactics, when
practiced by the Indians it is called
treachery."
'As for the war with Spain, it is
believed that arbitration could have
settled the international contro-
versy." 81
II have never believed that the
(Mainc) disaster was caused by the
Spanish Government nor it's officials
or agents. They certainly had no mo-
tive for such crime, and every rea-
son to avoid it."
One of the best parts or his book
is his story of the great railroad strike
l., Chicago in 1894. Though he does
not directly state so, it was under
stood at the time that it was Miles,
who suggested to President Cleveland
the calling out of the regular army to
facilitate the forwarding of trains, on
which We're the U. S. mails. At that
time Debs said it was no longer a
strike but rebellion. Chicago's mayor
was without any fixed policy and he
called on Miles and told him the labor
leaders had said that they might have
to have civil war in order to obtain
their rights. Miles answer was sharp
ard to the point. He replied that "if
the people desire a revolution or re-
hellion they could. make the city a
Sumter whenever they liked. and we
would produce another Appomattox
within week; that if there were not
sufficient troops in that vicinity to as
sert the authority Of the United States.

The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1911-07-14

Speaker Clark made the following
statement with reference to tariff re-
vision at the present special session
of congress. which apparently refers
to President Taft's intimation in his
speech that he was opposed to all
Legislation bearing on the tariff at this
session with the exception of Cana
dian reciprocity:
The tariff ought to be revised from
top to bottom. The people Of the land
so decided last November. That Is
their latest mandate. The house de
cided that 1t is best to revise 1t
schedule by schedule. We have made
a good start OIL that plan. We will
continue as we have begun. The
country indorses what the house Is
doing. If the Republican senate
beats our bills or President Taft We
toes them We will appeal to the coun-
try and it will sustain us. We believe
we are right and we are not afraid OF
q contest"

THE ASSAULT ON RECIPROCITY
New York Herald Bitterly Arraigns
Republicans Who Are Opposing
Its Passage.

When great Caesar. standing at bay
beside Pompey's statue, realized that
not only envious Casca and lean and
hungry Cassius, but also the we'll be-
loved Brutus, sought his life, he ut
tered the cry Of sorrow, amazement
and reproach that has come echoing
down to us through the ages.
President Taft has equal cause for
grief and Indignation when the reel
procity bill for which he labored with
such zeal Is feloniously attacked by
men highly placed in the councils OF
the nation and supposed to be his
friends.-New York Herald.
This is a terrible thrust at Elihu
Root and others who would slaughter
the reciprocity bill by the method Of
asking for amendments that cannot be
adopted.
If Canadian reciprocity shall fall, II
will be through the action OF Republi
can United States senators. The Re
publican president favors 1t, and the
Democratic house of representatives
has adopted 1t.
Can it be consigned to the toni
through the cunning of Elihu Root?

NOW TO THE SENATE
IN ITS HANDS IS FATE OF THE
WOOL SCHEDULE.
Democrats Have Done Their Part In
Fulfilling Country's Wishes and
Now Republican Senatorial
Majority Must Act.

BY a vote Of 221 to 100 the house of
representatives passed the bill re-
vising the wool schedule. Every DEM
ocratic member but one-Francis of
Ohio-voted for It, as did "a Republi-
cans. OF these latter at least two
were standpatters. No such majority
A. this was looked for. 1t was doubted
whether the bill could command a
united Democratic support. Yet only
one man on the Democratic side voted
In the negative. So we have another
proof OF the effectiveness and intelli-
gence of the new Democratic leader
ship.
More than that, the bill was felt to
be so fair-though 1t was severely
criticized by some who voted for it
that 1t commanded "a Republican
votes. And in the affirmative vote
the standpatters themselves were rep
resented. The action of the house
will greatly strengthen the wool bill
In the senate. It is believed that
there is a chance for its passage.
Every effort will be made to prevent
the finance committee from smother
ing it, and to bring it to a vote within
a reasonable time.
AS to the bill itself 1t Is not neces-
sary to say much. 1t imposes an ad
valorem duty of 20 per cent. on raw
wool in place of the present duty OF
about A per cent. The duty on manu-
featured products is more than cut ir
two, the reduction being from an aver
age Of 90 per cent. to an average Of
about AZ per cent. Ad valorem duties
have been generally substituted fol
specific duties, and the lowest taxes
are imposed on the cheapest good:
instead of, as now, on the most costly
The new schedule is, therefore,
great improvement over that now II
force.
1t ought to make a strong appeal tt
the senate insurgents, and to tn
president. The insurgents bitterly or
posed the wool schedule of the Payne
Aldrich law, and the president ha
denounced it as "indefensible." Her
Is a chance to get something better
1t may not be all that Is desired, bu
nevertheless it is a great improve
, ment on the present schedule. ]
ought not to be difficult for the Reput
, licans who really favor lower dutie
! to vote for it. Twenty-four of ther
, did vote for 1t. So the case Is sui
y mitted to the senate. 1t Is to b
hoped that that body will act promp
ly and favorably on the bill to the en-
that some OF the burdens now Resin
on the people may be ~lightened.-l

Beard Of Health Receives Gratifying
Reports.

REPORTS.
Jacksonville splendid Roadway being
made by the state board Of health in
it's campaign of education on sanitation
and hygiene, is strikingly illustrated by
the numerous requests being received
at headquarters in this city for litera-
ture bearing on the subject.
Each mail brings a score or more let
ters from physicians, health officers and
public-spirited citizens in the various
counties asking that literature be sent.
DR.. W. S. feathers, director of the work,
is much gratifed over the manifesto
ton of public interest, believing that
it reveals a thorough awakening among
the people to the Importance of waging
an aggressive fight against contagious
and ~preventable diseases.
The field agents of the board are
greeted by splendid audiences at all
points they visit, and, while public at
tention is largely centered on the polit-
ical campaign, the sanitation campaign
has by no means been placed in tho
background.
