While the New England cotton mills
are eutting down wages and dividends
the cotton mills in the South are run

them are running night and day Even
with this the orders are far in excess
of the output As a pointer the an
nouncement Is made that the Lynch
burg Ya cotton mill has declared a

its capital of 500000 and carried 22
000 to its reserve fund The stock of

were frustrated by Spain and the Sec
retary suggests that if the Spanish
patrol of the Cuban coast had been one
half as vigilant as that of our coast by
our revenue and naval vessels no men
or arms could have been landed In
five cases the principals in the expedi

The Engineering and Mining News a
standard trade journal of recognized re
liability has recently made a careful
study and investigation of the gold dis
coveries in the Klondike regions As
the result it says editorially that the
gold discoveries of that section have
been preposterously exaggerated and
practically all the Klondike investment
companies now trying to sell their 1
and 5 shares of stock to the public
are based upon air Nevertheless they
are able to parade the names of per
sons well known in politics and in busi
ness as presidents officers and direc
tors If such men could be subjected
to unlimited liability for the results
they would not be so scandalously free
to lend their names to the first adven
turer who comes along Here is a
word of warning which the general
public would do well to heed just at
this time There seems to be no doubt
that the gold discoveries on the Klon
dike are very rich Beyond a question
there is room for legitimate invest
ment there to aid n developing the re
sources of the country Money may be
made not only in opening up the mines
but also in many other lines of commer
cial activity But on the other hand
there Is danger of its loss
Port Arthur which has come once
more into prominence owing to Rus
sias occupation of it was an insig
nificant village of mud huts until China
in 1881 established a dock yard and
began extensive improvements At
present its large refitting basin exten
sive wharves formidable forts with
guns of the latest patterns and the fact
that its port remains free from ice all
the year make it an extremely valu
able acquisition for Russia which un
doubtedly has been planning for its
occupation ever since the Chinese-Japanese
war No one has believed that
Russia would spend 200000000 in
the Trans Siberian railroad
across the Asiatic continent to Vladi
vostok Port Arthur has long been
recognized as the logical eastern ter
minus of Russias great railroad and
surveys in the direction of Port Arthur
had already been made before Russias
announced occupation of the latter
port Kiao Ghou lies nearly 200 miles
south of Port Arthur and from its sit
uation can easily be closed from the
sea by the fleets of Russia England or
Japan so that it may prove a liability
instead of an asset even though it lies
on the flank of Russias great railroad
system in the east Japan was com
pelled to leave Port Arthur by the ac
tion of Russia Germany and Prance in
1896 It remains to be seen whether
Japan may not in turn make its pos
session uncomfortable to Russia
The question of the necessity for or
advisability of corporal punishment in
the schools is again under discussion in
Brooklyn where a little boy who died
recently is supposed to have been the
victim of this sort of correction The
Citizen says that the boys hands
were struck with a strap after
which he was hit on the lower
part of the back with a piece
of bicycle tire It is not known posi
tively that this beating was the cause
of the illness cerebral -meningitis that
resulted In the boys death but there
are those who think it was At all
events it has occasioned a good deal of
talk as to the merits or demerits of cor
poral punishment in the schools It
would seem however that there ought
to be no occasion for any talk on this
subject for there ought to be no such
subject The schools are no place for
corporal punishment if indeed it can
justly be said that there is a place on
earth for it Many there are who con
cede to the parent the right to beat the
child but it may be questioned that he
has a moral right to do so It is not
clearly established that nature made
the child either to do right or to be
whipped for not doing right and it is
not unreasonable to say that in a very
large percentage of cases the parent
who uses the rod is moved to revenge
on the child his own neglect in the mat
ter of the childs training Whatever
however may be thought as to the
propriety or otherwise of the parental
thrashing no teacher ought to be per
mitted to lay violant hands on the
pupil It is a humiliating a degrading
punishment fit only for the correction
of beasts which have no reasoning
powers to appeal to There are many
ways in which a child may successful
ly be reached through his instinct of
honor or of pride through the spirit of
manliness that is gaining grmvth in
him through his hope of reward or his
fear of merited punishment through
love through manifestation of inter
2St in him and through his sympathies
and the gentlest of these ways are as
a rule the most effective It is a fact
that teachers have achieved great suc
cess in dealing with pupils without the
use of the rod and all ought to be com
pelled to do so if they cant to make
wav for those who can

FINE PHRASES
As a maker of phrases William Mc
Kinley was a success during the Presi
dential campaign But as a maker of
prosperity since his elevation to the
Presidential chair he has proved a fail
ure
One of the greatest hits in phrase
making was the declaration that it was
better to open the mills than the
mints Apt alliterations artful aid
helped to make this saying popular
but unfortunately the mills have not
opened and the remark has sunk to the
level of a glittering generality
With 90000 cotton operatives threat
ening to strike in New England because
of a reduction of 10 per cent in their
scanty wage the cotton mills seem
more likely to close than open and the
dawn of prosperity so brilliantly de
scribed as a necessary result of Re
publican supremacy appears to be in
definitely postponed
Now it is announced vthat 50000 skill
ed workmen in the New England shoe
factories are to have their wages re
duced Protection through the work
ings of the Dingley tariff has failed to
protect and the result is disaster to
factory owners and operatives alike
With 140000 men reduced to starva
tion wages at least 700000 men wom
en and children will be made to feel the
pinch of poverty Their inability to
purchase anything but the bare necessities-of
life will have a most deprassing
effect on general business in New Eng
land
It is an old proverb that fine words
butter no parsnips and there can be
no stronger proof of this than the fate
of William McKinleys famous utter
ance that it is better to open the mills
than the mints Chicago Dispatch
Why the Journal Flopped
In a signed editorial the New York
Journal repudiates William J Bryan
as a candidate for President and de
mands that the theory of remonetizing
silver at a ratio of 16 to 1 be aban
doned
This defection from Democracy as
expressed in the Chicago platform
need not alarm silver men nor need it
cause any degree of surprise W R
Hearst the owner of the Journal is a
millionaire and never was a free silver
man When he began the publication
of the Journal personal influences
were brought to bear which secured
an esopusal of William J Bryan and
the Chicago platform
Had success crowned the effonts of
the Democracy the Journal would
doubtless have continued to advocate
the principles it espoused in 1896 but
in the face of defeat and with a propri
etor by education and environment a
friend of gold the change of front by
the Journal was to be expected and has
therefore in it no elements of surprise
to Democrats
Klect the Senate
Everybody understands that the sole
obstacle in the way of changing the
Federal Constitution so as to give the
election of United States Senators di
rectly to the people is the Senate it
self Most of the present Senators
would be relieved of public duty were
such an amendment made and they
know it right well If things be left
as they are they have a fair chance
with the aid of the corporations and
monoplies they serve tobe re elected
but before the voters they would be
powerless to escape retribution and in
dividual extinction
Nevertheless we believe it to be pos
sible even with our present Senate to
pass the constitutional amendment al
though it requires a two thirds vote of
each house of Congress Once passed
its adoption by three fourths of the
States would be inevitable It would
be a case controlled by public opinion
regardless of party lines New York

Lesson of the Ohio Struggle
Senatorial elections should be put in
the hands of the people Whether the
Senators elected by popular vote wotdd
be any better than those secured
through the State legislatures or not
they would at least be nnconta urinated
by the workings of the machines as
they have been exhibited at Columbus
there would be no temptation to State
legislators to stand out for the highest
M
price there would be no deadlocks
and finally the responsibility for the
men elected would rest upon the peo
pie with the opportunity to secure bet
ter whenever a majority could unite foi

Free traders will admit that tropical

as to the wisdom of establishing an
orange grove in Labrador the free
trader has his opinion So it is with
establishing new Industries by protec

fully equal to the value of what is gain

the protected child is adopted it al
most invariably turns out to be a sick

Costly Seed Distribution
The farmers of the country could put
a stop to it In short order if they spoke
out their real sentiments To a great
majority of them the gift of a few
packages of seeds is considered neither
complimentary necessary honest nor
good business for the Government to be
in They are not poverty stricken
they can buy their own seeds They
are not lacking in intelligence and can
select varieties without advice from

The Drummers Last Call
A pathetic story of the civil war was
related by the corporal of an Illinois
regiment who was captured by the
Confederates at the battle of Wilsons
Creek and is repeated in Women of
the War
The day before this regiment was or
dered by Gen Lyon to march toward
Springfield the drummer of the com
pany fell ill There Avas no one to take
his place and while the Captain was
wondering how he should supply the
lack a pale sorrow stricken woman ap
peared at his tent door begging an in
terview She brought with her a little
boy of 12 or 13 years whom she wished
to place in the regiment as drummer
boy
Captain she said after the boy had
been accepted he wont be in much
danger will he
No I think not replied the oflicjii
We shall be disbanded in a few weeks
I am confident
The new drummer soon became a fa
vorite and there was never a feast of
fruit or other hardly procured dainties
that Eddie did not get his share first
The soldiers were stirred by the childs
enthusiastic devotion and declared
that his drumming was different from
that of all the other drummers in the
army
After the engagement at Wilsons
Creek where the Federals were defeat
ed Corporal B who had been
thrown from his horse found himself
lying concealed from view near a
clump of trees As he lay there with
his ear to the ground he heard the
sound of a drum distinct but rather
faint In a moment he recognized the
stroke of Eddie the boy drummer and
hastened toward the spot whence the
sound proceeded In a clump of bushes
propped against a tree he found the
boy His drum was hanging from a
shrul within reach and his face was
deadly pale
Oh coropral said he I aru so glad
you came Wont you give mo a drink
of water please
The corporal ran to a little stream
close by and brought the child a
draught Just at this moment there
came an order for the retreat and the
corporal turned to go
Dont leave me said the little
drummer I cant walk See And
he pointed to his feet
The corporal saw with horror that
both feet had been shot off by a cannon
ball
He said the doctors could cure
them continued the boy pointing to
the dead body of a Confederate soldier
who lay beside him He was shot all
to pieces but he crawled over here and
tied my legs up so they would
wouldnt bleed so And Eddie closed
his eyes wearily
The corporals eyes were blinded by a
mist of tears as he looked down The
Confederate soldier shot to death and
in the agonies of the last struggle had
managed to take off his suspenders and
bind the boys legs above the knees
As the corporal bent down to raise
the child a body of Confederate troops
came up and he was a prisoner With
a sob in his voice he told the story
and the Southern soldier tenderly lift
ed the wounded drummer on to his own
hore swinging the drum before him
Whgn the little cavalcade reached camp
Eddie was dead but the little
last call had aroused the noblest
feeling in the heart of one who was his
foe one whose last act was an effort to
save and comfort the boj eneiuy who
Avas faithful to his duty
Sewards Assailant
An ex Confederate soldier thinks he
has made an interesting discovery in
connection with the attempted assas
sination of Secretary William H Sew
ard About the hour when Booth shot
President Lincoln in Fords Theater a
man presented himself at the residence
of Mr Seward who was lying in bed
critically ill from ujuries received in a
fall from his carriage Pushing abrupt
ly past the servant who hesitated to
admit him the man made his way to
ward the sick room A blow with the
outt sf a heavy pistol fractured the
skull of the Secretarys son and laid
him insensible on the floor In Mr
Sewards room were his daughter and
George Robinson a soldier attending
the invalid
Pardon a little ancient history Rob
inson met the stranger at the door and
received a passing stab The assassin
then rushed to the bedside of Mr Sew
ard ad attempted to strike him with a
tr ii -V Jiji V
knife Robinson grappiea wuu uiwr
and a severe struggle followed In the
course of which the Secretary received
three slight cuts He rolled himself
over in the bedclothes and fell on the
floor The household was aroused by
this time and the stranger ran down
stairs mounted a horse at the door and-
galloped away
The whole detective force of the Gov
ernment was employed to arrest the
conspirators Booth and his accom
plices It was believed at first that
John Surratt was the assailant of Sew
ard and his mothers house was seized
On the morning of the 18th of April a
man dressed as a laborer came to the
door and was arrested He said his
name was Payne that he was a com
mon laborer born in Virginia and had
been engaged to repair a gutter on the
roof He was in the end fully Identi
fied as the man who attacked Mr Sew
ard Of those found upon trial to have
been accomplices of Booth four were
hanged three were sentenced to im
prisonment at hard labor for life and
one for six years
Payne was one ot the victims I do
not remember whether he was hanged
sentenced for life or imprisoned for six
years There has always been a mys
tery about him He had no friend He
talked none Not a man in all Vir
ginia could be found who knew him or
anything about him He was a talL
young man made of raw bone grit and
gristle His assumed name was Lewis
R Payne and under that name he was
convicted The ex Confederate referred
to says that his real name was Leonard
R Powell and that he was a member
of Mosbys command This will be
strange and startling news for the
Mosby guerrillas It will be seen that
the initials are the same L R Pr
There was a taciturn soldier with Mos

haunts of men after the war
The Drummer Boy
In a book entitled Our Army Nurs
es the following story is told by one
of the noble women who cared for the
suffering soldiers in the great Civil
War
On entering her hospital ward one
morning she was attracted by one of
the new faces she saw there It was a
childs face and it wore a smile
His name is Henry not yet 12r
but he has been in the army over three
years the attendant said
The nurse went to the cot where he
lay
Good morning mother he said
cheerfully holding out a thin hand
You dear little fellow how came
you here You are so young
My father was drafted and I got
them to take me with him for a drummer-boy
Ive got no mother nor
nor sisters
Ah so you called me mother You
do need some one to take motherjj
place Im sure
Yesm The boys told me you would
take care of me
And where is your father
He was killed three months ago at
Antietam I was wounded then in my
hip same ball that killed my father
The surgeon says I shall be a cripple
always
The eyes of the nurse were growing
moist My little boy looks very hap
py after all What makes you so
she asked
The child pulled a little Bible from
under his pillow and replied In the
Bible it says When my father and
my mother forsake me then the Lord
will take me up If I get well and try
to be good I guess I shall have a home
somewhere If I dont get well I ans
sure I shall
There was more than one deeply in
terested listener now and each had
some new question to ask the lad
Childlike faith like his was rare even
in the hospital where it was commons
for men to feel that they could not die
unless they were listening to a hymulpr
a prayer
My little lad some one asked whe
taught you to trust in God
My mamma until she died then my
papa
When he got better he was heard one
Sunday morning plaintively to say I
wish I could go to Sunday school
Then there followed a pleasant sight
Two of the ward attendants said Get
the child ready Well look after him
They crossed their hands and carrf
the cripple to Sunday school every Sun
day while he was in camp But they
did not go alone By ones and twos
and threes the big soldiers followed the
little fellow and stole into church
They all loved him and some one look
ing on said A little child shall lead
them
One da a surgeon came to the nurse
and said Here is a man looking for a
soldier oryhan boy to adopt Tell him
all you know of Henry
The nurse told him of the lads brief
life his beautiful spirit and his long
ing for an education and a home
You have interested me greatly
said the man with moistened eyes My
wife and I had planned to go to Camp
Denison but we both dreamed on the1
same night that Ave should come to
Camp Chase 1 think God has led us
I am sure she will wish to take the
boy
In a few minutes the lads feeble
arms were twined about the mans
neck He was crying for To those
who clustered around to bid the little
fellow good by the child said
i was sure God had a home for me

nearly 3500 every minute to be sue
