OF the Republican party, the Tribune looks askanc

the two addresses with the remark that both or

quence," and then goes on to say
The important point, from a political as
well as an economic standpoint, we. believe,
was overlooked. That is that the proposed
tariff bill as it now stands is about the most
unpopular piece of legislation yet devised.
individuals no doubt approve it. Cali
fornia almond growers are pleased with it.
The Aluminium Company Of, America is
pleased with it. Certain fertilizer manufac-
turers are pleased with it. Glove manufac-
turers are pleased with it; and so on; But
each individual or group which is pleased
with one item is opposed to the thousands
of other items which the bill contains. and
the mass of consumers who will be called
upon to pay the high prices which the bill
promises will be opposed to it in general.
Altogether it is distinctly unpopular.
That might not be sufficient reason for re-
jecting it if there were any assurance that it
would bring sufficient prosperity to the
country as a whole to make up for the costs
which it will impose. But there is no such
assurance, except the verbal assurance of it's T.
sponsors. The general unpopularity of the
bill will impose a heavier burden upon the
Republican party at the next national cleo
tons than any other thing on the record.
This rather than impassioned oratory
should influence the. senate in it's considera-
ton Of the measure. .. -
The unpopularity OF the bill may be granted
and yet it may be a very good bill, notwithstand
ing. Perhaps more than any other class of legis

of the individual. In almost all cases it is to thu
pecuniary interest Of the individual to have fairly
high import duties imposed on goods of the elias;

equally to his interest that the duties on good:
which he consumes and does not produce. shall bt

every item in every schedule. This is true of the
present tariff bill, as it has been true of ever,

The doubt which the Tribune expressed as tt
the prosperity promoted by the bill being sufficient
to overcome its unpopularity brings up another
phase of the subject, but there has yet to be franco

Order, Coccyges; Genus, Ceryle Fam
lily. Alcedinidae; Species, Alcyon.
Range: Arctic America to the West
Indies.
Length: u to 13 inches; Widespread
21 o:23 inches.
Ceryle is from the Greek, kerulos,
kingfisher, and Ceryle is from the Lat
in, Aleyon, also meaning kingfisher 1t
is misnomer to refer the word Hal
cyon to this bird; it is better referred
to the, Grebe, whose floating nest in
balmy days was a type and sign of fair
weather-days so fair that birds could
float their nests at will on the bosom of
the waters. Coccyges means cuckoo.
The male has a blush pectoral bar
and the femalesa chestnut belly band.
The upper parts Of these birds are
blue; the wings and tail feathers are
like the back, but speckled, blotched or
barred with white; the legs are short
and the bill long and powerful for the
size Of the bird.
Keeps Eye Out for Fish.
The Belted Kinghsher sits on limb
or some object overhanging the water,
waching orffish"below. Now and then
he will mountlin5air, perform a. few. ev-
olutions, poise himself then drop for
his fish, which he must perforce take
with his bill, in the absence of claws.
With this same bill he bores into
bank some six or eight feet in order to
form a nest. There the female lays
from six to eight crystal white eggs.
The young are Matched naked and re-
main helpless for long time. being
what is known as altriciaI fedglings, or
young birds that require nurse. The
young partridge. grouse and other birds
that run at once, are called praeco-
cious c. y
The Belted Kingfsher flies with an
irregular, jerky fight. much. like woodl
peckers. 49, sr
Has an Angry Look.
The thin pointed occipetalccrest gives
the bird an angry Fuffied look. The
plumage is oily and compact so as to-
resist water, into which the birds con-
stantly plunge ,.1t Hu. u
From end to end OF North America
the Belted Kingfisher is a common
sight wherever there are streams or
other bodies of water -
Their use, in the economy Of nature,
is not fully understood, but further
study may show them to'be useful and
necessary We have a good deal to
learn about them yet.

may have interest for the Americans Of
this prohibition era. In those days, a
citizen of the State Of Franklin could
buy a good homespun shirt for jug
of rye. ..
Few today perhaps ever heard of the
state Of Franklin that was once can
didate for admission to the union Of
American commonwealths. .
In 1772, settlers in East Tennessee
organized the Wautoga association.
Executive power was vested in a COM
mittee of five. A legislature was elect
ed. Court was held. But the dream of
the pioneers Of establishing a separate
colony, with a royal governor was
abandoned when the original thirteen
colonies entered the War Of Independ
ence against England.
In 1884, the Wautoga settlers met at
Jonesborough and organized the State
Of Franklin. John Sewer was elected

STATES BIGGEST DEBT.
South Carolina Owes Large Sum to
the Federal Government. a

South Carolina OWeS Large Sum 10
the Federal Government.
Greenville Piedmont. 49,,
South Carolina owes the Federal
government $4,66S, ,23S,t which repre-
sents principal of $1,O51, ,422 and inter-
est.of s3,616,S16 This is the largest
single debt this state owes. 1t will
have to be paid back, if a bill introduce
ed in congress by Representative An
drews of Nebraska should be passed,
for he proposes that South Carolina
and other states shall return to Uncle
sam s2S,10l,S44,sl { lent them in 1886
along with interest at per cent for
SO years. If all. the states were to pay
up, the total amont due, from them
would be s124,OOO,OOO, which, Represen-.
tative Andrews proposes, shall be used
to pay part of the huge sum needed for
the soldiers bonus.
How did South Carolina come to owe
the Federal government so much
money?
It's all due to the fact that in 1886
the Federal government had more
money than it knew what to. do with.
After every need had been met, there
was balance of almost $30,0O0,OOO,
and SO congress, not knowing how
otherwise to- use it deposited it in the
various state treasures. No part Of it
has ever been repaid. In his annual
message to the congress, that splendid
South Carolinian, President Andrew
Jackson, pointed out that this dis
bursement was not gift, but deposit
Of the surplus moneys, Of the United
States in the state treasures for safe
keeping until they may be wanted for
the service of the general government.
He added: ,
"The states have no more authority
to receive and use these deposits with
out intending to return them than
any deposit bank or any individual
temporarily charged with the safe
keeping or application Of the public
money would have for converting the
same to their private use without the
consent and against the will of the
government"
When jackson wrote that, he esti-
mated that month later there would
be balance in the national treasury Of
about 41,723,959, over all governmental
expenditures.
What q contrast with the receipts
and disbursements of the Federal gov
ernment's receipts last year which were
S14, ,4S9, ,931, 2S3, as against $47,691,S9S in
Jackson's last year in the presidency
The Federal governments expenditures
last year amounted to S14,297, ,954,S6O,
as against $32,OOOO0O in 1886.
Four years after Jackson wrote the
public debt Of the United States was
only $4S,5G5, ,4O6; now it is s23,427,772,-
447. Then the share of the public debt
of each person in the United States
was S377; now it is s216.75.
When the Federal government in
1886 divided it's surplus among the
States, President Jackson said that
consideration of that action had caused
him "the most anxious reflection"
Well it did, for it will never be paid
back. Nor is there any likelihood, in

MYSTERY OF THE cYcLOPS.
Four Years Since U. S. Naval Collier
Vanished at Sea.


Four years ago, (March ~, says the
New York Herald, the United States
naval collier Cyclops, homeward bound
from South America, sailed from Bar
BADGES for an Atlantic port. Since she
left the West Indian harbor not a word
has been heard about her or about the
800 human beings who were on board
as passengers or in her crew.
The fate of the Cyclops is the most
battling of marine mysteries. She was
a modern ship, we'll built, we'll found
She was equipped with wireless. Yet
she disappeared, leaving behind no
drifting boat, no raft, no splinter of
wreckage, no life belt to suggest where
or how the great vessel went down or
what caused her loss. The United
States government through the state
department and the navy department
has combed the Caribbean time and
again for information concerning the
ship; not n word of enlightenment has
it been able to get.
AS long as war lasted hope was cher
ished that the Cyclops had been cap
tured by the enemy. Reports that she
had been seized by Germans were circu-
1 lated. She was said to be the mother
ship Of submarines operating off the
Atlantic coast. She was reported to
have been grounded on a remote, unin-
habited key, to have been taken into
Kiel canal to have steamed into the
| South Atlantic. When peace came the
Germans denied all knowledge of her

would hesitate to put on paper such a

MORE OF THE SAME. !:
Jim Jefferies Is the Latest Kind Of a
E. Preacher,

Sensations in the pulpit are not di
minishing. When something out Of
the ordinary" draws a crowd and the
unusual contribution for personal use
is assured it is more than apt tc be
used
For example: James Jefferies, one
time and sometime pugilist, has taken
to preaching. jeff, as he was known
to prize ring fans, is the son of min
lister and he knows what the inside Of a
church looks like, but jeff believes that
1t is all right to smoke or do other lit
tie things like that in the pulpit If his
conscience says it is all right.
In the press account of 'Jeff's first
sermon out in Los Angeles a few days
ago it was stated that JEFF stood at
the plano smoking a cigarette and SER
vices began and when called, fiicked the
cigarette to one side and mounted the
rostrum. Naturally he was a little
abashed at first, but the account says
he soon got over it and launched into
his doctrine" that conscience was the
only guide and that If one wanted to
drink, smoke or swear 1t was all right
If conscience approved.
It is not necessary for Jefferies to
say that his sermons are going to be
different
The account closes by saying that
Jeff's sermon was punctured by ap-
plause and loud cries of Alta boy"
This sort of thing as we'll as the
jumping, cavorting and what not may
not please some people, but that does
not make it seem right to some other
people or make them believe that
Christianity is to be furthered by any
such performances.
1t is fine to have Jefferies stand up
for the faith and all but to destroy
reverence in doing SO is by no means
helpful to him and his followers; it
certainly is most painful to those who
make reverence most distinctive part
of their eligion.-Greenwood Index
Journal.
