POLITICS -OF THE DAY

The “Smuggled” Coal Duty. When Secretary Moody says that "the duty of 07 cents a ton on anthra-1 cite coal was smuggled Into the tariff j act in a sneaking and cowardly manner” he states what Is evidently true, . The clause of the miscellaneous schedule which puts a duty of 07 cents a ton on all coals containing less than &2 per cent of fixed carbon covers all anthracite available for Importation into tills country. If there is any foreign anthracite containing more than 1)2 per cent of fixed carbon it Is in China or some other place where it Is hardly more available for American use than If it were In the moon. The persons who caused that paragraph to be inserted In the miscellaneous schedule were aware of that, as we may know from their precision in naming ‘'l)2” instead of some other percentage. When, after Ingeniously subjecting all available anthracite to a duty of 07 cents a ton without mentioning It specifically, the authors of the Dingley bill put anthracite In a conspicuous place on the free list, "except as specially provided for In this act,” they evidently Intended to deceive not only the public but even a protectionist congress. As to the “smuggling” Mr. Moody Is right, but when he goes further and predicts that Congress when it convenes In December will make haste to amend the law so ns to make anthracite free lie expresses his wish rather than what is likely to come to pass. The men who did that neat trick of smuggling apt still on earth, and they are a pow’er not merely In railroad offices and at the coal mines but on the floors of the two houses of Congress. Those who tell us that the Dingley tariff is too sacred to be touched nt any point-tiie Hendersons and Dalzells of the House and the Aid riches and Quays of the Senate—are still a force to be reckoned with. Theirs Is n tremendous force of Inertia, and that is the only force needed to prevent action before the expiration of the present Congress.—Chicago Chronicle. Good Consul to Keep at Home. At last, after six mouths of conscientious effort, the State Department has succeeded in removing from Havana the consul general who Insulted the people to whom he was sent by saying one “might as well expect to make a whistle of a pig’s tall as to make anything out of these Latin races.” Wo should Imagine that the proper place for a diplomatic representative capable of such a remark would be the back woods, but the State Department evidently does not think so. It has sent him to Hongkong. It Is from one of “these Latin raocos” that w r e derive the foundation of our laws, our Ideas of government, our civilization, our Ideas of art, a great part of our lauguage, and even the very letters that we use in our writing and printing. Another has done more and suffered more for the cause of human liberty than any other race In the world. Of course the consul general at Havana does not know these simple facts, but It seems conspicuously Inappropriate that he should have further opportunity to air his bumptious Ignorance In any official capacity.—Chicago American. Rattled Republicans. President Roosevelt In all his speeches never once referred to the Republican campaign text book, nor for tliat matter does any other campaign orator that has so far been heard from. Was all the time and labor of the compiler of that interesting production In vain? Are all the reputed facts and figures to be buried lu the Junk shop? The President openly rebuked the congressional committee that Issued the campaign book by discussing the very matters that werp omitted from that interesting production, such as Cuban reciprocity and the reciprocity treaties. He also took Issue with the committee on the tariff and trust questions. With the President on the stump refuting the arguments put forth by the Republican committee In its official text book and rebuking the mission of matter that makes Important issues, that party certainly Is In a torn-up state and It is no wonder that so many Republicans don’t know where they are at. "Etraln” of Tariff Revision. President Itooeevelt has been talking about the "strain which a revision of the tariff every few years" Involves, ns If our tariff laws had been considered sacred from Change for long periods at a time In the past. The President’s party has never hesitated to tinker on the tariff whenever It thought It would he to Its advantage to do so and the Idea of setting fixed Intervals between tariffs will hardly strike the country ns a business-like proposition.—Atlanta Journal. Protection for HtaudArd Oil. Mr. Vreeland In his speech at Tomlluson Hall referred (6 the Standard Oil Company an the “pnrent of all the great trusts to-day,” and yet, he said. It denis "In an article which is not protected by a tariff." Mr. Vreeland ought to know better. Our present tariff law Imposes a duty on petroleum coming from nny country imposing a duty on our petroleum equal to that imposed by the foreign country.

Further than this, the Standard Oil Company gets a rebate on the tin It uses in Its foreign trade equal to practically all the duty paid on it. And the by-products of the industry are protected by heavy duties.—lndlanapbUs News. Why the West Revolts. Our export traffic with the old world has expanded in volume and value, even while foreign manufacturers have been drawn upon to supplement deficiencies of domestic production in Important branches of Industry. It Is tbls continued disclosure of abllityTo hold our own in the world’s competitive markets that lends added sharpness to the sting of tariff exactions and urges the great agricultural West to revolt against protection that protects only a few monopolists, while consumers are forced to contribute to swell enormous private fortunes and to pour unneeded revenue Into the public treasury.—Philadelphia Record. Beef Trust's Arrottance. The beef trust practically acknowledges the commission of all the Iniquities charged against it by Attorney General Knox, but it denies that the law inhibits or restrains such rascalities. It is a plea of guilt as to fact, but a denial of legal responsibility. The trust hopes to escape through the open meshes of loose Interstate commerce and anti trust legislation. If this result shall be accomplished It will be a sore defeat for the administration and a new demonstration of the inability of the Republican party to cope with the monster combinations which It has nourished Into maleficent existence.—Philadelphia Record. Danger In Our Prosperity. The chances for making a good living are greater in the United States than in Great Britain, and as long as that is so labor will he drawn here, thereby Increasing both our number and our strength. While we thus have an advantage, it should not be overlooked that we may lose much of It if we hamper ourselves with restrictive laws which make It difficult for our merchants to compete with those of other countries for tlie markets of the world.—Boston Herald. 9 Cannon Should Retaliate. Speaking of the Joe Cannon boom for the Speakership, this is calculated to remind one that Mr. Littlefield, of Maine, Is touring the West. Cannon should go Kast on a campaign—that is, if he is not afraid of being lost In some of the cities with which that part of the country is studded. Uncle Joe is bucolic and wisely avoids all large towns where the depot is not In sight from every street.—Dallas News. Alger's Vindication. The friends of General Alger are insisting on his election as United States Senator to “vindicate” him. Among those against whom he must be vindicated are President McKinley, who compelled him to resign from the cabinet, and Colonel Roosevelt, who signed the round robin that brought matters against him to an issue.—Waterbury (Conn.) American. Fighting Their Own Interests. Senator Allison thinks it puerile to suggest placing articles controlled by monopoly on the free list, because more trusts would be benefited by it than otherwise. Well, why are the trusts fighting the proposition with all their might? If It would benefit them they would adopt the opposite course, wouldn't they?—Sioux City Tribune. Political Potpourri. The lowa and Idaho Republicans are not the only ones who want a lower tariff on trust products.—New York World. It Is not true that the President’s injury to his leg came from an attempt to straddle the tariff question—Louisville Courier-Journal. "Oom” Shelby thinks the tariff problem will he satisfactorily settled. Has anybody ever thought It would be finally settled in any other way ?—Chicago Itecord-Ilerald. If monopoly Is not sheltered in the tariff, why tills mighty protest from monopoly and Its organs against removing the tariff on monopolized commodities?—Sioux City Tribune. The President’s notion of lotting the tnriff alone while pretending to light the monopolizing trusts is as Idle as it would be to treat a patient for ague and neglect his fever. —Now York World. Chairman Hanna of the strike settlors’ association Is developing enough white feathers to till a hedtlck. On one side are the votes. On the other side is the money. That’s Just what’s the matter with Ilanna.—Dallas News. "President Roosevelt’s speeches on trusts and public sentiment generally caused the abandonment of the proposed meat merger,” says a contemporary. There ought to be a closer division. How much of the work did the President’s speeches do?—Cincinnati Enquirer. An otganlzatlon of Pullman porters has been formed to stop the tipping practice. If the members use the proper amount of violence they will probably be able to prevent people from yielding too much to the habit that has become so obnoxious to the porters.— Philadelphia Press.

RECORD OF THE WEEK

INDIANA INCIDENTS TERBELY TOLD. Farmer Slay* Wife for Talking About Him—Girl Whips a New Richmond Man—Train Gets Safely Off a Coilap* aing Bridge. c-v John SteriTiibwrg, aged 52 years, formerly of Chicago, shot and killed his wife in Marion, and when found hidden in a corn field three hours later turned a revolver against his own head and inflicted a serious wound. The officers had some difficultly in preventing a lynching, as tlie mob was restless at the time of the murderer’s capture. When Sterrenburg reached the jail and had been revived with stimulants he was told that he had killed his wife. To this he replied that he was glad, as it had been, his intention to do so. He said lie had intended to cut out his wife’s tongue and had taken a sharp butcher knife to bed with him for that purpose, but she wns restless and did not sleep and ho was not given the opportunity. He said she had talked scandalously about him and lectured him and this was the reason he had killed her. The woman was shot three times in the back and ran nearly half a mile io a neighbor's, where she died an hour after the shooting. The husband died later of hemorrhage of the brain. Presence of Mind Saves 500 Lives. Nearly five hundred passengers who were aboard a train on the Wabash road narrowly escaped a wreck and death near Clark station. A short distance out of Clark the Wabash crosses the Grand Calumet river over a huge trestlework bridge. Some repairs had been made on the structure only recently, and it was considered perfectly safe, track walkers having just patroled the bridge before the Wabash limited left Clark station. As the train, having aboard nearly 500 souls, reached the middle of the structure that (spanned the Calumet the engineer heard the cracking of timbers as the middle span of the bridge sank beneath bis engine. lie opened,the throttle to the farthest limit, and the train fairly leaped from the swaying trestlework. Postmaster Whipped by Girl. Miss Virginia Dewey, the 18-year-old daughter of a prominent New Richmond physician, entered the postoffice at that village and, while J. \V. Holland, the postmaster, had his back turned, drew a big whip and administered a terrible whipping. Holland did not attempt to escape or retaliate. When Miss L*ewey finished she walked out of the office to a justice’s office and paid her fine. The whipping wns determined on by the girl as the only way to avenge insults which Holland is alleged to have offered to Miss Dewey and three others in New Richmond. Holland is married and is a leading politician. Note for Missions Valid. A note for SI,OOO payable to Mrs. Mary Woodworth, an evangelist of the Church of God, for the furtherance of religious work in La Porte, was held to be valid by the Appellate Court. Mrs. Mary J. Vinson had executed the note and the payment was contested tiy the administrator of Mrs. Vinson’s estate on the ground that “the note was not given for a legitimate debt. The ruling is a precedent. Trainer Attacked by n Lion. Dick Dekenzo was attacked by Nero, the big lion with a wild animal show, at the close of an exhibition at Terre Haute. The lion inflicted frightful gashes on J)ekenzo’s back, hands and legs. Only the prompt action of attendants saved the trainer's life. The spectators were stampeded, and a number were bruised in the wild rush for tlie exit. Brief State Happenings, Edward Slinkard, a boy, was killed at the Iloosier quarry, Bedford, by a falling stone. A workman had his leg broken at the same time. The safe in the office of the Charles Hamer Lumber Company at Green town was wrecked by burglars. No money wns secured, but a package of notes valued at $750 was taken. Yandalia passenger train No. S, east bitund, and passenger train No. 21, west bound, collided at Reelsville, completely demolishing both engines. Two were killed and n number hurt. While temporarily insane over religion, Mrs. John C. Ice of Bruceville arose from her bed, said the Lord had commanded her to kill herself, set fire to her night dress and burned to death. Royal Hero, the champion bull of 18!)D, owned by W. T. Miller & Sons of Winchester, became so disabled from pntalylis that it had to lie killed. The Millers bad refused $5,000 for the animal. The home of Isaac Shipley, five miles vest of Nashville, wns totally destroyed by lire. Shipley and his wife were awakened by fire falling on their bed, and hey barely escaped from the house. The body of Mrs. James T. Kelly (Ida Carter), leading woman of the King PingPong theatrical compuny, who was drowned in the Ohio river, bus been found twenty-five miles from Jeffersonville. Jacob Jones wns fatally scalded while cleaning a boiler nt the American rolling mill at Muncle. He had crawled inside when another workman, not knowing lie was In the boiler, turned on the steam. Burglars robbed the hardware store of J. E. Davis in Salem of S2OO worth of stock, including guns, revolvers and cutlery. They took clothing and shoes to the value of SSO from the general store of Horvet & Clark. The Republic Iron and Steel Company's mIH In Kast Chiengo has been reopened, President Schaffer of the' Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers haring ordered the striking pnddlen to return to work. The strikers idieyed the order of their chief. Facts have developed in-the grave-rob-bing case which point conclusively to the fact that Indianapolis for the last three years has been the center and headquarters of the entire country for the nefarious traffic in bodies. Rufus Cantrell, self-confessed chief of the band of grave despullers that has been preying on Indianapolis cemeteries, told bis story to the Marlon County grand Jury. As n result of the disclosures mndo It wns Intimated that Indictments will be found ugalnst nt least a half dozen of the most prominent physicians and surgeon* of th« city.

And They Met by the Sea.

*T didn’t want to come here, in the first place,” confided the first guest of the expensive summer resort “No more did I," answered the second, "but my wife Insisted that we ahould come." “So did mine,” said the first “She said we just had to come here, because the Smithsons were coming, although I told her I simply could not afford the expense.” “Neither could I afford it,” explained the second, “but my wife said we had to come because the Brownsons were coming.” “Why, look here, my name is Brown•on.” “And mine is Smithson.”

A Cure for Rheumatism.

Bridgeport, Wash., Oct. 20— Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble seem to be the prevailing ailments in this territory and particularly in Douglas County. A remarkable and plainly sure cure has, however, recently been introduced. It is called Dodd’s Kidney Pills and although but a short time on the market, It has already worked many wonderful cures. One of the most striking of these Is that of Mr. John Higgins, who for a long time suffered with Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble. The pains of these diseases had combined to make his life very miserable Indeed, and he could get nothing to do him any good till he heard of this new remedy. He tells his experience with it In these words: “Dodd’s Kidney Pills have done more for my Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble than anything else I have ever used. There is more virtue In them than In any other medicine and I will always highly recommend them to all of my friends.”
