T1IE miO.Ut SCHEDULE,.V The Republican* arc trying to make much polltlcul capital out of the sugar nUiediile of tlio now tariff bill. I hoy made sugar free, they any, aul thv Democrats put u tux on It, Ju the In terest nf the sugar trust. What lire tlio facts? (Tudcr tto MeKluley hill sugar was isit free. When reiinid- tlmt Is, remly to enter Into consuiup- tlon—It wan taxed at the rale of UU coals per hundred pounds, aul this tax was purely protective. It raised no roveuuo whatever for tlio government, hut gave to Iho trust imiuy nilllloiis orrry year. 'Jim light of tho Demo crats In congress was to tnko away tills protection to tho trust, anil they arc bitterly disappointed liecnnso they par- tlnlly*fulled. Ihlt they did succeed ill reducing thu tux from UO cunts lo 42 1-2 cents per hundred pounds uul to Uiut extent mluml Iho oontrihutlon which thu sugar consumers of the country will pay to tlie trust In ndilllhst tlio MeKluley law gave to the sugar grow ers a bounty of 2 cents a pound, umountlng lo nliout $12,000,000 this year, and tills should bo added, of course, to the UO cents u hundred pounds given to the trust. It Is calculated Unit a duty of n cent n puuud will produce d ' revenue of $20,000,000. Tho Kepulilleans gave the trust tho power to collect -il of a cent a poUnd-or $16,000,000 a year. Tlioy gave to tlio growers $12,000,000. They therefore taxed the people ou account of sugar $20,000,000 a year, and gave every dollar nf Hint vast mini to tho *lmit mul the growers, none of It going Into tlio treasury for tho use of Iho people. The Democratic tariff hill, ac cording to Secretary Carlisle's cnlcnla- tlou, Impuaoa a duty on raw sugar equivalent U> a little more Ilian ono and onodhlnl cents per teaiud, from which tho treasury wilt derlvo n roveuuo of $12,000,000, mul the sngnr planters ultout $8,000,000, If they sijcoo<>dcd In tnklug full mtvautngo of tho protection afforded them. In addition, It gives tlio 1 trust about $12,000,000. Tho Mc Kinley bill, therefore, collected from sugar oousnmors $20,000,000, all of which weal to tho trust anil growers; tlio Democratic law collects about $U2>- 000,000, of which $12,000,000 imes to thu treasury, the hocus to the favereil lulcrosts being reduced about $0,600,000 u year. Tlio showing Is not a good ono for the nemecratlo bill, when compared with wluit tho Dianoeratlo party prom ised mid tried hnnl to accomplish; but It Is a great deni better allowing than the Uepubllcuti party made when It passed tho MoKhdcy hill. After nearly two years’ delay Hie msnnfnetiirers of Uir great S-inch end 154Deb pneumatic dynamite guns have 'got their weapons lu rendiucss for a test by the ordnance olfleers at Handy Hook. Although the cxpcidiuontH with idin’.lnr wrapiiis fin Issirtl Hie dynamite cnilsiT Vesuvius oeem to have demob- stratod the Impractlcahlllty of tbese> en gines of wnr for u«e in Iho naval ser vice, the trials of pucmuntlc guns at Mhochuryness, England, In 1800, ’ re sulted In tho uccepiancc of tho weap ons by the Itrltlsh government, and some of them have lieon mounted nt Mllfoid Haven. The shells from Hie td-incli guns, loaded with 200 pounds of uitro-glyceronc, have sultlclent ex plosive force to crash In tho bottoms of any vessel If exploded beneath Iho water within fifty feet of Iter. Most of the shells nt Hie Shoehtirytioss trials deviated considerably less than this distance from tliefr mark. As n coast defense weapon,' therefore, the pneu matic gun may prove to bo of consid erable value. MIL WATSON'S TARIFF IDEAS. Mr. Thomas II. Watson nlcads. In Ills psper nuil mi- the slump, for fairness In the discussion of public questions, that Uu> people may bo nhlo to pass upon thoao questions Intelltgeutly. He Is therefore bound to bo fair himself or re*» under the suspicion Hut Ills plea Bln leaded merely to ibxvtve. He says In Ids paper of I'rltlay: ••Oar article published y set relay headed This la Democratic,’ states exactly what the raductlon la the tariff la, using Demo cratic figure*. "The reduction Is not as the Journal stairs, ncarty U per cent., hut I* shout 2.72 per cant. ’To show this elosrly, wt repast a small pan of our article of yesterday grief, "Mr. Park*!* stele* that the revenue which would have been raloed during 1 under the McKinley law would have Men tltO.on.OX).

Ac cording to Mr. Wntaoo'g Men, there. fore. Mr. McKinley reduced Hie tariff to Hio extent of $20,000,000 or $40,000,- 000 n year. Instead of raising It. ns everybody else has thought.

If Mr. Wntoon In rlghL n duty high enough In tie prohibitory Is, If we un- tiers!,iial his argument, Hie lowest |s*t- sllilo duty, and a tariff law made up of prohibitory duties, so lliat It would produce no rerenue, the lowest possible tariff.

THE AUGUST CAMPAIGN. “O. wblther .are Wh drifting?" The politician cried*, * “1 thlulc lt’» to the devil," The fat man, hot, replied. It'» a pity that Watson, Hines Cc Co. have forced upon the people the necessity of weltering under this bluing Augui’ run In order that the apostles of Democ* racy may smash the dangeroua fallacies and Isms of Populist propagation. -11s true, 'tUi pity; pity *Us, tis true; but the perspiring Democrat, an he mops nis mat ing t.*ountenanc«i consoles hlmsslf with the thougift that it's a blamed sight hot ter for the Populists, who have not only to bear the sun's heat, but the bum is words cf Democratic truth fired at them from every stump in Georgia. LAUGH AND GROW FAT. Good people, lay aside your cares. And have a merry chat, For ’Us a proverb wise that say# Thro’ laughing we grow fat. The recent hot wave Is supposed to have been caused by Cupt. Kolb’s remarks when he heard tha election returns over In Alabama. NOW, WOULDN’T IT ? O. wouldn’t It be awful nice. If, as it -whirl* apace. The earth should slip Tom Watson’a grip And fling him Into space? Without Watson's guiding hand at the helm, the Populist bark, “driven by tne winds and tossed," would long ago have been dashsd to pieces on the rock of Geor gia Democracy, but even his hand is losing its cunning, and after the Demo cratic cyclone of next October gets through with it, all that will remain of the aforesaid political bark will be its stempost, stuck high on a sandbank, and marked: “Sacred to the memory of departed Populist aspirations.” "Oh, my friends," shouted the parson, "are you not Interested <n Uie burning questions of today?" “Not much," replied the fat man in the back pew; “the burning question of the future is what worries me, b’goah!" Here is a good ono. The Populists re cently held their convention to nominate candidates for the leglelature in Meri wether county, and, a* Is their custom, they came from several neighboring conn- tie* and made a ( showin# of strength which greatly pleased them. Some diys later the Democratic convention met for the same purpose, and about 1,000 true- blue voters put in their appearance, tuliy as many as the Populists had been able to gather from all sources. A. prominent third portyito was on hand, and, walk ing up to a Democrat, he remarked: "Aleck, is this the best you fellows can do? Why, when we Populists met the other day It .ook{d like Gabriel foul bio wed his trumpet." f "Yes," said Aleck; "but colonel," and there was a far-away* expresalon In his eyes as he surveyed the thousand or more men in sight, “but, colonel, this ’eras Just the Democratic executive committee, and some of them were sick and couldn t come!" Now doth the thirsty voter seek The candidates galore. And With a moet beguiling wink. He gently murmurs—'’’moreP' And he not only demands It, but he gets It—more whisky, more money, more promises. By these means tho gilded fpol supplants the man of ability In tho halts of legislation, and the Interests of the people have to foot it down the middle of the road, while the. trusts and com bines of the wealthy occupy soft places on the bond wagon. -ROBERT L.

The expression "to eat crow has been brought Into prominence a good deal lately owing to the dlstrubed condi tion of politics and tne many discus sions that have arisen os a consequence. A party of gentlemen were discussing tne merits of the very signiacant ex pression the other day, when somebody remarked that It had a kind of accepted definition that Juat satisfied everybody who wanted to use IL oaying that he didn't believe It ever had legitimate authorship. “Oh, yes It has. to'o," remarked a veteran politician—If his name were called he would resent the well applied title—as he squared himself against the brick wall of Sol. Hose's drug store to explain IL “I read some years ago the Interesting history of the expres sion and It waa about like this: "Years ago." he went on, “a soldier on the Western plains was stationed near a town and- one day wandered out from camp upon ti pasture. There lie spied a craw hopping about among the cows, anil, having hla gun along, aimed at the bird and killed It. As he did so a little boy who had been watching him dashed off with -awl Id yell in the direction of a distant house. The sol dier laughed at what he thought to be the boy's terror ut the report of the gun, and laying it down carefully ut the root of a tree, went to pick up the crow. "After that eomethlng else attracted his attention and he did not think of hla gun again until he heard an angry voice behind him. and turning around, found himself gazing straight down the bnrrel. A furious Dutchman was at the other end. . He had shot the Dutch man's pet crow; the boy had borne testimony to the deed, nnd now for tlio penalty. “Sparing you a recital of the heated conversation which followed, the result was that the Dutchman spared the sol dier’s life on the condition that he would straightway eat the crow he had shot. The soldier protested to no pur pose. He linn'lly got perm Union to cook the craw a little over a Are made with a few chips. ’ “Then he began to eat But before he had eaten more than half of the bird he became ao sick that he swore he would rather die than finish the meal. The Dutchman’s wrath seemed to be appeased by this time, however, nnd he restored the soldier hls gun and told him to move on. TJie soldier took the gun with apparent appreciation ot the Dutchman'* leniency, but instead of moving on he Instantly took "lm at the Dutchman’* head and swore he would blow his brains out If he did not eat the other half of .the craw. "The Dutchman cat Targe gobs ot crow.’ "He was compelled by rear of death to swallow the crow In big hunke, and then the soldier went on hls way re- Joiclng. leaving the Dutchman nffclng like a Texas cyclone. The latter swore vengeance and next day appeared at the military station and mado complaint to the company officer that one of hls soldiers had wantonly shot hls tame crow. The officer told the Dutchman to point out the offender and he should be duly punished. The offending soldier was identified. 1 “Calling the soldier to him the offi cer said sternly; 'Did you ever see this man before?’ (pointing to the Dutch' man). . - “ 'Yes, air.’ the soldier replied, ‘I dined with him yesterday.’ "This answer so amused the Dutch man, beside* showing him how all hls friends would laugh at him If the story got out, that he refused to push the complaint against the soldier, and to 'eat crow' rather than suffer anything mortifying or humiliating passed Into a proverb from that day.” black Milk, but good. Butter Like Coal Tar From n Bovine Freak. Ed iMareh of Mineral township comes to the front with a Btory that Is Loth wonderful and unique, but true in ev ery detail. About live weeks ngo n Durham-Altlerney cow, aged 2 years, gave birth to a calf, and they began to milk the oow. but were thunderstruck when they discovered that its milk was black. The calf, however, thrived upon tho milk, and last week Mrs. Mursh, having overcome her prejudices, de cided to try some of tho milk, snys the Plantburg Dispatch. It tasted the same as outer milk, only It was much richer, arid by leaving a crock of It set for four hours nearly two Inohea of cream, n .little lighter In color than the milk, would raise on the top. Two gallons of .the cream were churned and four pounds of butter were secured. The butter was examined by e chem ist, who pronounced It perfect butter, egeept In color, and gave the reason fbr the color eomathlng yet unknown to sclehce In the blood of -the animal. The ibutter much resembles coal tar and has a dellalous taste. People are coming from far and near to see the freuk, and Mr. Marsh has been offered big sums of money fqr the cow. He has decided not to sell her. however. In the hope that toe can raise some more stock of the same kind. A roll ot butter will be shortly sent to this city and placed on exhibition. The milk makes fairly good Ink and tthe cream might be ueed for printers' Ink. A SOLDIER'S FOUR WIDOWS. Nashville. HL.
