\ Brantley s speech is the first
has been delivered from the
Mrpolnt of me southern men who
■ trying to harmonize the ilerao
lie party on the basis ol a policy
■ will he satisfactory to New York
■ the east. He is one of them.
m is laboring to make tire tariff
ntlon the principal issue in the con
esslonal campaign. The first part
Ihis speech was a presentation or
Its and figures to show the urgent
pd of doing something for Cuba,
Bit after that be turned to the po
litical phase of t'ne question ami de
livered a talk to bis democratic breth
ren that evoked a round of applause.
•‘tt ib\ true.” he eaid, ”thafc tine
democratic platform of Ib'Jis condemn
ed not reciprocity, but the sham re
ctprocity of the McKinley laws, but
this bill calls for a horizontal reduc
tion ol 20 per cent on everything. For
my part, I cannot decline to accept
free trade with one eountrv use
I cannot get tt still freer, and because
1 cannot get free with all countries.
It wp are to nave free trade there
must be a beginning. The beginning
is now, and as 1 cannot get more t
am ready to accept this. If the deni
ocratie party stands for tariff redue
tion. as I have been taught to be
lieve, it is not clear to me how the
party’s position on that question wii,
be made plain to the country, if it
refuse to vote for this bill, the only
mu before this body with a single
item of tariff reduction •- <t. It is
not clear to me now we can sustain
ourselves by refusing to accept a
slight reduction of tee tariff on th<
ground that we cannot get a com
plete reduction. Kesults as well as
principles are involved.
“I know that those who are respon
sible for this bill disclaim that it even
hints at tariff reform, but no repub
lican leader would call any bill re
ported by him a tariff Reform bill.
If this bill is really a protective meas
ure, It is intended to still more tight
ly bind the American consumer, wny
has the republican ways and means
Committee waited four long months
before presenting it? Wny did they
Spend night alter night m sweat and
turmoil, trying to find enough repub
lican votes to pass it? Why do stal
wart protectionists refuse to support
it on the ground that .. is in strict
accord with the principles oi ne dem
ocratic party?
"Thoee of the republican leaders
who are wise and far-sighted enougn
to read the band writing on the waii
that if the greed and rapacity of the
protected classes are allowed t. O stand
in the way of the just and humane
performance by this government of its
duty to Cuba, it will mean the over
throw of protection and the downfall
of the republican party. This Is why
._ey have labored so earnestly to pro
cure enough republican Votes to pass
the bill. They do not wish the atten
tion of the country called to their hu-
millatlng position of being unable to
maintain the .onor and keep the faith
*of th's country without the aid of
democratic votes, and all because the
: protected classes have become so bold
as to announce that the only interest
| and aim 01 the republican party shall
be to maintain and fatten them.
‘‘This bill, therefore, comes to us
after long discussion and delay on the
part of the republicans merely to sat
isfy in part a public sentiment that
cannot be trifled with) That it Is
merely a sop to public sentiment Is
shown the long delay, b.v the many
caucuses., by the meagre concession—
meagre in amount and meagre in the
time that it is to operate—and by the
conditions imposed on Cuba. I am
persuaded that public sentiment and
pot,lie JustK" a t net going to be
satisfied with this bill, because it goes
too far in Its dcir.au is on Cuba, and
not far enough in its concessions to
ber.
“The discussion we are now having
deals with a state of ahairs In the
■lajority party never before
since 1 have been here. 1 did not ex
pect to see a division in their ranks,
and still less a division over the mat
ter of protection. This division shows
that the leaven of tariff reform Is
at work. The republican leaders,
controllable bv them, have made an
through stress of circumstances un
advance toward the democratic posi
tion-only 20 per cent., but an ad
vance. Because ol' this advance shall
we abandon our position? What be
comes of our vaunted faith and cour
age) in our position if we are to be
driven from it in order that republi
cans may seize and profit by it? Tariff
reform cannot be intrusted to its ene
mies'or left in the keeping of those
who have made reform a necessity,
and every victory that tariff reform
wins in the public mind must redpund
to uie good ol the democratic party."
WILL INVITE THE REGIMENT.
Brunswicklans to Extend Invitation
to the Fourth.
An invitation will be extended to
the Fourth regiment by the
Brunswick military in Albany next
Tuesday, and efforts will be made to
Set the regiment to have their en
campment this year qh St. Simon.
Since the article was published In
The News a few days ago, many of
the companies comprising the Fourth
have considered the matter of the
coming encampment, and they all
seem to- favor St. Simon. The pa
pers have also been talking about
the encampment and tfioy, too, seerni
to think that the regiment will de
cide to make St. Simon the place.
A number of the Brunswick mili
tary nn i will meet with Calomel
Wooten and others of the regiment in
Albany Tuesday and extend them an
invitation. Nearly all the companies
of the regiment will attend the Chau
tauqua, and it can be learned at that
time which place the members seem
to jhvor.

more or less and rattle the dry hones

companied in his tour of the state
by Rev. Sam Jones, Hon. Seaborn
Wright and Rev. 1,. G. Broughton.

and the people will be invited to gath
er from the surrounding country end
trear what Mr. Jones says will lie
“speakin’ what is speakiu’-”
The points thus far decided upon
and announced for these meetings are

or Austell and Madison, and a grand
evening rally in Atlanta and probably
Brunswick.

each meeting and will be followed
by Rev. Sam Jones, Rev. 1 g.
Broughton and Hon. Seaborn tVilgnt.
The latter named three gentlemen
have agreed to lie of the speaking par

phase of the gubernatorial campaign,
the candidates and their platforms
or attitude on public matters.
There cannot he any doubt t Hat such
* serh.-S of meetings us above planned
and with such well known orators
will attract widespread interest and
add some spicy features to the pend
ing gubernatorial contest.
These gentlemen, it is understood,
will be Invited to visit Brunswick by
Guerry supporters here, and they will
probably accept.
Besides the Guerry aggregation,
Col. Est.ill will spend a'Tew nays nere
within the next few weeks, and the
friends of Mi* Terrel! are now endeav
oring to get him to and liver an address
to the people of Glynn county some
time in May.
At any rate. It seems as if the state
campaign has only started and from
now until me primary tno candidates
will all get,ln much work.

under the aide supervision or Mr.
Ballard. He is gratified with the
advancement the children have made
in all branches of the school.

SHE TRAVELED
IH MALE ME
WEST VIRGINIA WOMAN ARREST
ED IN PADUCAH, KY., DRESSED
IN MAN’S CLOTHES.
Admits She Was Married and De
serting Her Husband—Man She
Was With Denies It.
Paducah, Ky., April IS.—Two years
ago Kllis Glenn, the famous “man
woman,” 'el West Virginia, was ar
rested here. Today an almost exact
ly similar case developed.
Another West Virginia woman, also
masquerading in male attire, was lock
ed up along with the man who ac
companied her, and both are being
field to await investigation. The
woman confessed that her name Is
Mrs. Pearl McMillan.
She admitted that she had 'l'.cojqeQ
a husband at Berkley, vv. Va., to go
away with James Baker, whom she
says left Jils wife at Catlettsburg, Ky,.
to travel with her. Kaker, however,
insists that they are man and wife.
Suspicion was attracted to the dis
guised woman by in asou of her small
bands and long hair. She wore a
typical tramp’s outfjt of rags. When
compelled, however, to don the fem
inine garb which she carried in a
valise, she became a pretty and grace
ful little blonde.
The woman has refined manners,
and uses faultless language. She
seems badly frightened and was evi
dently never before under arrest.
The couple were penniless. They
came here, tney said, from Oak Hill,
Ark., where the man recently lost his
employment.
REPEAL OF THE WAR TAXES.
Mr. Cannon Believes the Surplus Will
Not Be Greatly Reduced.
Washington, April 18.-—Representa
*
committee on appropriations, said to
day that the repeal of the war taxes
would not necessarily greatly reduce
the surplus of the government receipts
'over expenditures during tine next
fiscal year. He had examined careful
ly, he said, the probable effect on
the treasury, aWd although he appre
ciates tlie difficulty of making an. ac
curate forecast, he believed there
would still boa surplus of many mil
lions next year.
Last year when certain war taxes
were repealed, It was’predicted that
the government receipts would be
reduced as a consequnce to the extent
of $10,000,000 during the fiscal year,
the present indications are, nowever,'
that the loss on this account will not
exceed $30,000,000. Mr. Cannon be
lieves that this experience 011 account
of continued good times may be re
peated next year.

tally, wounded Jerry Cleveland, the
bailiff of Godfrey minus district, near
Godfrey, in the lower part of this
county, last night.
There are conflicting reports as to

Cleveland’s house after dark, all
heavily armed. Gardner called Clove-

THE FEAST OF THE PASSOVER.
Period Will Be Observed Here Next
Week.
The festival commemorative of tlie
deliverance of the Israelites out of
the Egyptian bondage and tneir con
sequent 'departure” fronT that "country,
begins on Monday night and lasts for
seven days. The period will be ob
served by the Jewish citizens of
Brunswick generally. It is a holiday
of rejoicing with <ur Israelitls'a citi
zens and is founded upon the follow
ing:
“And God told Moses to tell the
Israelites that on the night of the
fourteenth day of Nlsan I shall pass
through the land of Egypt and all the
: first born of ...e land shall die, but I
will pass over your houses and not
Smite your first born. Be prepared
to leave, for on that night Pharoah
will consent to let you go.”
In great alarm, in the middle or
tlie night, Pharoah called for Moses
and Aaron and said: “Rise up and go
forth from my lanu you and the Is
raelites. Go and serve your God as
yau have spoiien.’’ The Israelite*
were actually driven out of the land
of Egypt and were not allowed to
stay until they could prepare their
broad and they nad to bake It un
leaV'S ned.
Therefore, the eeebrating of the
least of Passover and tue eating ol
Matzos, the unleavene., uread.

PRICE FIVE CENTS.
HE ID FRIENDS
MUCH ALARMED
♦—
RECENT ASSIGNATION OF THE
MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR
ONE OF THE MANY ALARMING
SYMPTOMS. .. .
M. SIPIAGUINE OWED POSITION
TO THE INFLUENCE OF A
BOSOM FRIEND OF THE
CZAR.
St. Petersburg, April 16. —Although
M. Sipiaguine, the minister of the in
terior, who was assassinated April 15.
was not actually the leader of the
reactionary party in Russia, he was
the tool of those who, in the opinion
of many, were responsible for the
prevailing situation. His assassina
tion, easily explicable in the present,
political condition, was hailed with
joy in radical circles.
For a month there liad been daily
rumors of Sipiaguine’s impending res
ignation, owing to disagreements with
the governor general of Moscow, the
Grand Duke Sergius, who fias been
supporting the novel policy toward the
working classes instituted by M. Tre
poff, the police prefect of Moscow,
which includes the organization of la
bor unions under police coni-ei.
The murdered minister's name was
also mied up with the histories of the
financial irregularities charged against
so many officials ar present
iaguiiie spent lmifiense sums in re
decorating his residence. A single
was accused of appropriating 500.-
000 roubles from the secret' service
chandelier cost 50,fi(i0 roubles and ho
funds. The ueceased was by no me? ns
talented and owed his position to in
fluential friends, especially to Count
Shermeticff, the bosom friend of Czar
Alexander 111. and the old dowager
czarina, who is largely unaer Count
Shermetleff's influence.
Shortly before Sipiaguine was ap
pointed minister ol the interior he
married the sister of Count Sherinet
ieff’s wife, Princess Viasemski, a bril
liant woman 36 years old, who Is now
a warm friend ot the czarina. Count
Shermetw ff was deeply interested In
Lieutenant General Prince Viasemski.
The latter, who was a member of
She council of tne empire, was recent
ly reprimanded by the czar for his
protests against the action of the po
lice during the popular demonstra
tions of the early part of last year,
and he is said to have left Russia to
ivold the consequences ot his pro
tests.
OMcials here privately admit that
the murder of Sipiaguine was one of
many exceedingly alarming symp
toms. It was learned that the
chateas ot the duke’ of Mecklenburg in
southeast Russia was recently pillaged
nd then razed by rioters.
The young clerk named Orloff, who
was compromised in the revolutionary
movement and who hanged himself
In prison, belonged to a group ol pris
oners who refused food and were ar
tificially fed.
The death of Sipiaguine affects the
chances of Murray A. Virner, the mil
lionaire Pittsburg contractor, of se
cuing the St. Petersburg tramway
franchise, as the deceased was a no
table supporter of Mr. Verner’s prop
osition and overruled the committee
who had recommended the Westing
house offer. The matter is possibly
now indefinitely postponed. Many
people think that the death of Sipi
aguine will help the aspirations ol
M. De Wits, the finance
who has long been ambitious to be
come imperial chancellor, or at least
obtain control of the ministry of tne
interior. Unusually grave labor out
breaks are reported at Yekateermosfav
Poltava, Voronej and Tambouav. The
details are rigorously suppressed.
Williams to Run for Governor.
Columbia, S. C., April 18.—L. J.
Williams, of Edgefield county, who
has been a member of the dispensary
board of control for a number of years
and now cuairman of the board, has
formally announced himself <n,ip
date for governor. *
