The Texas Legislature having failed to pass State-wide prohibition, has ' Bow succeeded In passing a law that, tt it believed, will settle the question A that has kept the State stirred up con stantly for the past few years. It Is advocated by the wholesale liquor . dealers and the brewery interests, who will join with the prohibitionists In securing lu passage, fearing that next .time they would bo wiped out alto : gather. On of the main feature of :' the bill la that it would restrict the slumber of saloons to one for each 500 - - habitants and this would result In weeding ont the dive all over the Stat. The usual statute that a saloon cannot be operated within 300 yards iof a church or school house Is Incor porated In the law. but It is provided that If a church or school house is f built within 300 yards of a saloon, no renewal of the license for that saloon "Will be granted and at the expiration 1 ' f the license, the saloon must close. It la manifest that in this way, the prohibitionists could further greatly reduce the number of saloons. A cer tain form Of protest or objection by people of the neighborhood would be cause for a refusal to grant a license ' f a saloon. The price of a license ' Infixed at $1,200 a year for a liquor saloon and $600 for a beer joint. A Violation of the law will be cause for confiscation of the license, and a sa loon caught selling liquor on Sunday Will be put. out of business for good. Licenses are to be granted or refus ed by the State Comptroller, or the district Judge. Former prohibition iaws in Texas have been flagrantly " violated and the salvation of the re maining liquor interests will depend . upon a strict enforcement of this new law, the enactment of which Is a , foregone conclusion, and for the rea sons given, it is a law that Is going to be observed. It will follow that . while Texas will not nave State-wide prohibition, it will he under the op- . orations of nno of the strictest prohi bition laws (vr enacted THE-TARIFF.. A LIVE STWECT. Stoca the woman are Interested', la the tariff. It follows that everybody la interest tn It. A a matter of fact, hundreds of people who formerly skip pad tariff literature aow go through it- It la a subject that for ones) has become Invested with general and un usual Interest. In a way. the country haa been attending a tariff kinder garten. The United States govern ment collect anndally three hundred million dollars in tariff duties and twelve articles, or classes of article pay three-fourths of this sum. The figures have been compiled by the Bu reau of Statistics of the Department of Commerce and Labor, and It is fora its figures that we quote. We find by the report for I J 07, strange to say, that sugar paid a greater tariff than cotton goods, the general opinion having been that the latter heads the list of all tariff producing articles. Sugar, however, brought in sixty mil lion dollars in duties, against thirty nine million for cotton manufactures. The tariff on leaf tobacco amounted to twenty-two millions. The compli cated features of the cotton goods schedule are given in the report as "an example of the difficulties which confront the maker of the tariff and the officers of the government who determine the amount of duty to be collected and actually collected on the thousands of articles and many thousands of grades of different art icle Imported; and to further indi cate that while It is true that twelve different articles or classes of articles pay three-fourths of the duties col lected, the details of fixing the rates of duty, and of determining the amount of duty which should be paid and of calculating the amount actual ly collected, are, after all, most dif ficult snd tedleus, and explain In some degree the difficulties of the task of making a new tariff." The con struction of a tariff law, is, as a mat ter of fact, one of the hardest tasks to which Congress Is called upon to give its attention, and a combination of circumstances appears to have made the present contract one of more than ordinary difficulties. The scheme for the creation of a tariff commission to handle this particular branch of the government's business is being agitated with considerable vigor snd the result will be, no doubt. a reform of some sort In the meth od of originating and laying down fu ture tariff duties. SEW . COTTOX CONTRACT KIXES. Out respect for growing public sentiment, the New Orleans cotton ex change has made a set of new rules governing contracts in. future deliv eries and the new rules are regarded as something la the nature of a re form,' According to The Picayune, the new contract of the New Orleans ex change will provide for the. tendering on contracts of only those grades that are unquestionably splnnable, mer chantable and desirable Accordingly, undesirable low grades of stained and trashy cotton will be eliminated from the cotton tenderable on contracts. A future contract wUl therefore afford ample protection te both buyer and seller and serve as a proper medium of transfer between the two. Fur- U. J . i . unuer me new rules tne ex change will adopt permanent stand ards o grade which will be unalter able, and not changeable from year to year, as has been the custom in the past. "This," says The Picayune. will insure stability to contracts and traders need cause no misgiving as to any change in the character of cot ton represented by certain grades mentioned. When the national or State government fixes permanent grade standards such standards will be adopted as the basis for all con tracts." The new rules appear to be desfgned to eliminate all the old ob- ectlons to the future contract, the principal one being that a buyer had no assurance of receiving under a fu- ure contract desirable grades of cot ton, several years since the Louisi ana Legislature passed a law that greatly restricted the operations In fu- ures and that worked to the detri ment of the New Orleans exchange In particular and. It Is claimed, to the otton trade In general. This action of the exchange will probably result n a loosening up of this law. T1BIFF DEBATE ; ;M:t$lUE SENATE BTft E. C BRTANT. ' It Is a singular fact that some of the artists who have attained to emi nence and distinction In the world of music have a temper that will go off at a touch. It Is related hy The Spartanburg Journal that the great diva. Mme. Olive Fren-utad, was In a rsge while taking her part In the clos : ing exercises of the Spartanburg Music . FestivsJ. but that she succeeded In concealing the fact from the audi ence. The state of her mind was dramatically disclosed, however, to i reporter who had repaired to he dressing room to secure an Interview with her. She stamped her foot a the astonished young man, pointed to . the door and told htm to get out which admonition he heeded lnstantcr .and probably, to save his life, could : not have told what it was he wanted to Interview the madame about Probably the next time he undertakes to Interview the diva In her parlor he will first take the precaution to get ft line on the state of her amiability and recaptiveness. Ex-Governor Glenn hss reached New Orleans on his Southern tour. Ha was booked to preach there twice yes terday end once to-day in the pulpit of three different Presbyterian churches. . He is working In the cause of "religion In the homes," and the New Orleans papers are according ljlm a warm welcome. The Times-Demo crat thinks that ex-Governor Glenn's contribution of a year's undivided service as lay preacher, to the cause of home missions, is unique, snd adds: "His meetings elsewhere have been largely attended and grattfylngly suc cessful. To the oratorical power, na tive ability and sincerity that made him a popular and successful execu tive, he adds a fervor and devotion in the Christian cause that wins and Im presses tils audiences." Hs has been attracting attention wherever he goes and has been successfully fulfilling hi contract. Referring to the death of Dr. W. H. Wheeler, The Wlnston-Halem Jour nal says that he was one of the grand old men of a former generation that "he was Ransom's friend. He was Watson's friend. He was a country gentleman. There was more grace In the way he removed hi hat, hid friends like to say of him, than any three Chesterfields combined." These few words contain very much of a tribute. Dr. Wheeler was one of the old-line Republicans and had a fine reputation as. a Confederate soldier. But the "he was Ransom's friend" give In a word the standard of his character. The Spartanburg Journal Is Inclin ed to twit The Columbia State becauKe of the alleged fact that the attendance on the Columbia Music Festival was smaller than the attendance on Spar tanburg's celebrated event. Spartan burg has the finest music festival in the South and this fact Is generally conceded. It was an established suc cess from its opening sixteen yeara ago and a knowledge, of that fact ought to be eufflclnt te keep The Journal In a serene and altogether un envlous frame of mind. DIMINUTIVE FARMS. A good suggestion has been ad- ; vanced by a patriotic woman of Char Jotte to the effect that one of the fioata -In the 20th of May parade should symbolize the signing of the ; Mecklenburg Declaration of Indepen dence. A, sufficient number of de scendants of the signers could be ; drummed up to represent them. Such a float bearing these representatives attired in colonial costumes, would prove a winner. In the celebration of llli the signers were represented in horseback parade, but the float could be made more effective, and It would give President Taft something to talk about when he goes back home. More or less Ignorance nrevalls I government circles about the nature of Southern harbors. At the time th Confederate reunion was held I Wilmington there was much discussion as to whether the "risk" of sendln the Raleigh Into that port could he assumed. It was finally devlded t try It and the Raleigh sailed In with out the aid even of a pilot and with no risk whatever. Similarly, a dls cusslnn urose hs to the expediency o pending the battleship Mississippi u the river to Natchez, to receive her gll ver service, and It has been decided to try the experiment, which will be no experiment at all, for there are two passes at the mouth of the Mtssisslp pi that will float the biggest battle ships. The Mississippi will carry th battleship of that name In perfect safety and will cause a revision of some Ideas that prevail in naval circles. Some Virginia Republicans have dreamed a dream of the future. They have given It out that Judge Jeter C. Prltchard would. In a year or two. re sign his lifetime Job on the Federal Court bench so as to make room for Mr. L. P- Summers, a Republican poll tlcian of Abingdon. It was figured out that If Mr. Summers should be nomi nated by the Republicans for Gover nor of Virginia and should succeed in cutting down the Democratic ma Jority, he should be given Judge Pritchard s place as a reward, taking it for granted, perhaps, that it would be agreeable to the Judge. But Judge Prltchard has simply said nay, and lost no time In saying It. Tha Democratic primaries will be held In Winston to-dsy snd in Greens boro to-morrow. In each tdvn, in terest, has been growing as the date -for the primaries approached. At one time ft looked as if there would be a " soareity"of candidates, but the trouble now Seems to be to get all of them on Ul ticket Both town' bring era t Jo strongholds, however, there Is no apprehensfoh felt as to the resorts. North Carolina towns generally suc ceed In selecting men -capable of giv ing an -honest and efficient adminis tration. - - The election of Mrs. E. C. Gregory, daughter of Senator Lee S. Overman, as one of the vice presidents general of the Daughfers of the American Revolution by a lead of one hundred otes over any other candidate, was a handsome compliment and one that puts this State in a more than ordl- arlly good humor with the D.

When a man dies, Instead of one of the heirs taking the whole proper ty and paying the remaining heirs for their parts, the whole property is di vided into as many parts as there aro The tariff debate in the Senate has developed an Interesting situation. Senator Dolllver, of lows, and Sena tor Nelson, of Minnesota, have taken Issue with Senator Aldrich on his bin and threaten to give trouble. v In the- course of him remarks Mr. Nelson said that toe was greatly dis appointed that the finance committee failed to reduce the duties on cotton and man uf act ares of cotton, manufac tures of wool, glass and glass manu factures, and earthen, stone and china ware. These schedules, he declared. are too high. "I think." said he. "that a man. no matter where he may live, who stands ror a metier rate of duty than is Jus tified by, the fair and just principles of protection is a greater enemy te the Republican party than any enemy you can possibly ind on the other side ot the chamber." Following Mr. Nelson Mr. Dolllver said: "I have not been one of those who sought to push the country, and certainly not my own party, forward to a revision of the tariff. But I can not refrain from entering an individ ual dissent from the proposition that It was the purpose of the President in calling this Congress, or the pur pose of the party in practically or dering the Congress to be called to gether, In its platform of last year. either to leave the Dlngley tariff act as it Is or to Increase its rates." This sort of talk from two able Senators like Nelson and Dolliver gave the leaders of the majority cold chills. Everybody expected Senator Cummins, of Iowa, who represents a new Re publican school, to speak out against some of the provisions of the Aldrlch Payne bill but the strenuous opposi tion of Nelson and Dolliver came as a surprise. CRITICISM OF PRESS. The papers of the country, as a rule, especially those of the West, are criticising the tariff bill severely. The editorials have been so plentiful and so pronounced that the Republican leaders are alarmed. It la believed tnat the papers reflect the sentiment of the people on the quest ion of revision. As a result of the fear Injected In those responsible for the action of Congress a new bill may be offered, and If this should be done, the extra session might continue until th last of the summer. There Is no telling when the work of revision will be complete. If the Democrats and the Insurgent Republicans should get together and make a vigorous light Mr. Aldrich would be put to his wit's end to win. It is said here In certain circles that Dolllver la piqued because he did not get an assignment on the finance committee, and that that accounts for his attitude toward the bill. No one doubt Mr. Aldrich' ability to put through his measure but all doubt the wisdom of steam roller methods, which would react on the party In 1910. President Taft, Uncle Joe Cannon and Senator Aldrich, as well as other party leaders, do not desire to bring about a condition that would Jeopardize the party in tho next election. Democrats are already re joicing over the prospect of a split in the ranks of the dominant party. The West, especially those States where Cummins. LaFollett. and other Re publican insurgents dwell, Is gradual ly leaving the school of stand-patters of the Republican party, and these men are hailed as "near-Democrats" now, and it is this sentiment. It Is said, that makes President Taft take so much Interest In tho South. A new alignment Is looked for In the South. The election of three Re publican Congressmen in .North Caro lina last fall, the break-away of the Georgians from the party caucus In the fight on rules in the House and the disregard of the party platform on the lumber section of the Payne bill have encouraged Republican lead ers In Congress. Some partisans from the middle west go so far as to say that Champ Clark, the. minority lead er, will be defeated next election. HOW 8ENATORS STAND.

Did you see the shot fired?" was the question asked of an Irishman called as a witness in a trial ones had in Kansas City. "I did not," was the Celt's response; "but I heard It folred." "The evidence is not satisfactory," sternly announced the presiding mag istrate. "Step down." This legal finding was evidently not precisely to the liking of the Irish man for no sooner had he left the stand and had turned his back than he gave way to a somewhat derisive laugh. This had the effect of arousing In turn the Judge's Ire. and he imme diately recalled the offender. "How dare you show auch contempt of court'.'1' demanded his honor. "What do you mean by laughing in that manner?" "Did your honor see me laugh?" asked the Irishman, in a most re spectful tone. "No, but I distinctly heard you laugh." said the magistrate. A twinkle came Into the eye of the witness. "Such evidence Is not sat isfactory, your honor," said he quiet ly. Whereupon, every one, including the Judge, laughed.

Some idea of the wonderful prog ress of the German navy is gained when one realises that Vice Admiral Reinhold von Werner, whose death is announced at the age of 84. saw prac tically tne birtn or that navy as we know It. When the German fleet was sold by auction in 1151 Werner se cured a commission in the new Prus sian navy, and daring the war with Denmark he commanded one of the three steam frigates, then the prlncl j pal ships of the Prussian navy. At jthe date of the formation of the Federal navy Werner was director of dockyards at Danslg. In 1SS9, how ever, the deceased vice admiral re turned to active service, and at the time of his retirement in ,H7I he held the command of the Baltic station. He devoted the last thirty years of his life to the patriotic task of popularising the idea of that sea And ever as the 'season comes My steps still there were led, When Thou with sll a Mother's care Dost for Thy Chlldrens' wants prepare ine neaven descended bread.
