Newspaper Page TextNew York World. While crowds of citizens throng ed about the grave of Mr, Gonza les, the murdered South Carolina 1 editor, it was suggested that .a 1 monument be reared to his mem ory. It will be time to talk of such a memorial when Souili Carolina has vindicated her name and her law* by hanging the assassin. Un til then Tillman’s cowardly crime will stand as a warning to the journalists of the State that no writer may dare to oppose the am bitions of any political ruffian Bave at the ripk of his life. It is intolerable to think that in any part of the United States, in the dawn of the twentieth cen tury, au honest and respeoted ed itor may be murdered in oold blood simply because ho criticised an unworthy Lieutenant-Govern or seeking to force himself upon his party as a candidate for Gov ernor. All accounts agree that Gonza les was unarmed and that he sought to avoid the assassin when they met on the street. All ac counts agree that Tillinan, fresh from his seat as presiding officer of the Senate, gave his victim no chance to defend himself or to eso^pi, and that' after “calmly wiping the smoking pistol barrel on his coat sleeve” lie surrendered himself to the police, sent for his lawyers and confidently began preparations to defy justice. Shall this appalling and delib erate crime against personal liber ty and the freedom of the press go unpunished? Is there any com munity in this oountry so morally senile, so lost to righteous sensi bility, so overawed by thuggery, so blind to danger, that it can re main inert and helpless to avenge such a brutal and premeditated murder? This is a case that should awak en not alone the civic oourage and indignation of South Caroli na, but of the whole nation. The bullet that pierced the body of Mr. Gonzales was aimed at the heart of honest, ineependent jour- dalism Until the boasts of the murderer and his political cronies have been answered by a swift trial and relentless punishment the constitutional guarantee of free speech and a fiee press stands void in South Carolina, and Ti 11- manism may trample the citizen ship of that State iluder foot. m: 7 " SgiE;! Venezuela. Venezuela has a larger area than the combined areas of tho great states of Texas, Kentucky, Ten- Aiessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana,, Oblahoi^a and Arkan sas. In figures its 1 area arnouuts to „ about 590,000 square miles. The population is 500,000 less than that of Massachusetts. In 1891 it was 2,828,527. The capi tal, Caracas, has 75,000 inhabit ants, Maracailo 85,000, LaGuayra 15,000 aud Barcelona aoout iS,- 000. About oue person out of ev ery 100 is pure white, while the others sfre descendants of black slaves, mulattoes, etc., and In dians. The republic has tjhree zones— hot, temperate and cool—accord ing to the elevation of the land. The lowlands in the northwest are very torrid. Here great quantities of oofifee and oaoao are raised, which form the largest agricultu ral exports of the country. The cacao is sent mainly to France, Germany and Spain, and the oof- fee, which averages a yearly crop of 55,000 tons, to the United State*. —Geographio Magazine. — -.*-*-* John D; Rockefeller was over heard to remark to his physician the other day thas he would give $1,000,000 for a new stomach.

The pork packers have been round ly denounced for advancing prices, but they have their defense, and urge it with some force. In a review of the conditions in 1902, the National Provisioner ob serves that the packing-house in- tenets have felt the heavy hand. This authority says: “The mailed fist of yellow journalism hit an industry which was already strug gling with hapless conditions over which it had no control, but for which it was held responsible, and that imposed responsibility flaunted to the public eye for re sentment.” It is urged that the stockmen sent cattle very high. The packer had to shoulder the load and carry it and suffer for it. Labor asked more wages and got it. The equipment man raised his price, and it was paid. The ice and refrigeration man came in with his rise, aud to be paid. The fuel man put up the price of coal, and his bill had to be met. In junctions met the packers at the very factory door. Germany built an exclusion wall against most of the American meat prod ucts. On top of it all came the scarcity .of good beef cattle, the inability to sell poor carcass stuff except at a .loss, and the hog shortage. Thus their line of de fense runs. AU of which tends to encourage greater activity in stock raising in the "South, and in Georgia in particular, where all the conditions are favorable to it. Notwithstanding their plaint the packers are reasonably happy. In concluding its review of last year’s affairs The Provisioner says: “Financial condition^ were good, however. The general state of trade has been excellent? and a splendid movement of factory by products at good prices furnished the redeeming feature of 1902 and braced trading. The current year promises to be a favorable one for the paoldug industry—a record one, in fact.” If this year is to be “a record one” for the packers we may ex pect continued high prices for meats of all kinds, and Georgia farmers had better throw an ex tra nubbin to the old sow, and give a tip to the setting hen. A Millionaire Labor Union. After an exhausting five months’ strike the United Mine-Workers of America, as appears from the re port of Secretary-Treasurer Wil son to the Indianapolis Conven tion, has a million dollars in the bank. It received in 1902 for all purposes three millions. More than $1,800,000 was expended in “strike benefits,” but the “spe cial anthracite assessments” real ized $1,969,026.84, and $419,954.- 14 was given by other unions and by the public, so that the union treasury is apparently some $580,- 000 richer by the strike. The poverty of the miners, of which so much has been heard, is scarcely indicated by these fig ures. They do, however, reveal in the mass a tremendous power. It is understood that the million- dollar surplus will be used in un ionizing Virginia and' Weet Vir ginia. A motion for a permanent strike assessment of 25 cents a month, which was voted down in convention, would have provided more than a million dollars a year in addition to the present resourc es for industrial warfare.—New York World. - — Better Than Gold. “I was troubled for several years with chronic indigestion and ner vous debility,” writes F. J. Green of Lancaster, N. H. “No remedy helped me until I began using Eleotrio Bitters, which did me more good than all the medicines 1 ever used.

The Secretary of State hds final ly concluded terms with Colom bia and has sent to the Senate a fcieaty which seems to meet, wit^ general approval. Under the con ditions of the convention, thiB oountry is to lease the required zone of land for one hundred years with the privilege of renew al at the same rental, at pleasure. The annual*rental, which is to be gin five years after the ratifica tion of the treaty, is to be $250,- 000 and the cash payment to be made as soon as the convention ia ratified by both Congreses will be $10,000,000. This with the $40,- 000,000 which it is agreed to pay the Panama Canal Company, will make an immediate cash payment of $50,000,000. At the end of sixty years the entire property of the Panama Railway will reverb to the United States. All ton nage and other water dues from the harbors of Panama aud Colon will be paid directly to the United States. During the construction of the Canal martial law will pre vail aud United States troops will police the district. After that ar rangements are to be made for po licing. etc., by a joint high com mission, bub it is provided that in no instance will a citizen of the United States be tried by other than a court maintained by his own Government. Tendency of tho Times. The tendency of. medical science is toward preventive measures. The; best thought of the world in being given to the subject. It is easier and better to prevent than to cure; lb has been fully dem onstrated that pneumonia, one of the most dangerous diseases that medical men have to contend with, can be prevented by the use of Chamberlain’s Cough Rem edy. Pneumonia always results from a oold or from an attack of influenza (grip.) and it has been observed that this remedy coun teracts any tendency of thete dis eases toward 'pneumonia. This has been fully proven in many thousands of cases in which this remedy has been used during the great prevalence of colds and grip in recent years, aud can be relied upon with implicit confidence. Pneumonia often results from a slight cold when no danger is ap prehended until it is suddenly dis covered that there is fever and difficulty in breathing and pains jp the chest, then it is announced that the patient has pneumonia. Be on the safe side and take Chamberlain’s Cough Remedv* as soon as the cold is contracted. It always cures. For sale by all druggists. We promptly obtain U.
