There neYer was a time since the ; protective tariff as a distinct policy i was adopted by the Republican j party when that party was as much ! divided on the tariff question as it j is now. For the first time men j prominent as leaders in the party have declared that the time will come when the tariff must be re- duced and that fact recognized by the protected industries if they would not see the whole protective system destroyed. The Republican leaders have not been slow to dis cover the trend of sentiment among the people, and they have been saga cious enough to chime in with it, or at least to seem to do so, for there is not one of them who does not ad mit that protection was simply in tended to be temporary, and that when it has accomplished its pur pose it should be a dropped. Tbey have at last reached a point where it is conceded that the tariff is high enough. It took them about thirty -fire years to reach that point, for they never touched the tariff that they didn't make it higher than it was before. There never was a suggestion that it was high enough, and probably there might not be now if new questions had not sprung out of the acquisition of ter ritory by the Spanish war and the increase in our exports of manufac ! tures had not been so great within the past few years. The plain, matter-of-fact people who think about such matters, and view them from a disinterested , standpoint think that if these acqui sitions have become ours in the true : sense and their people Americans by adoption, purchase or otherwise, they should be treated as other people in our territories are and traded with on the same principle, that we should encourage them to trade : with us and should make the way for : them to do that as easy as possible The late President McKinley took that view of it when he favored lib eral dealing with Porto Eico and urged Congress to discharge its "plain duty." That led to a pretty i animated discussion and was really I "the parting of the ways" between i the Republicans who believe that the i tariff was devised to foster the in dustries of the country and was to last only for a time, and those who believe that it was devised for the benefit of a certain class of people and was to be perpetual. But they made a sort of compromise on the "plain duty" and got together before the next election came around. There is another parting of the ways over reciprocity with Cuba recommended by McKinley, favored by his successor and his advisers, and by the majority of the party leaders in Congress, but opposed and protested against by some of the beneficiaries of the protective duties. The fact that the number of people who are interested in reci procity with Cuba is large, while the number who are opposing it is com paratively small brings up the ques tion of protection more distinctly, and makes its selfishness more strik ing, because it shows a few indus tries endeavoring to benefit them selves at the expense of other indus tries and of the people at large. It is a fight of the protected against the protected, each seeking its own in terest and each indifferent as to what the effect might be on the other. The people who are interested in neither watch the fight and see in it a striking object lesson illus trating the selfishness of the whole protective system. They know that the beet sugar men, for in stance, have had tariff protection for more than ten years, protection enough in the increased cost of sugar to the people to have bought ana paid for every pound of Bugar they have made in all these years, and still they demand protection for at least ten years more, and now be cause it is proposed to make a re duction of one-fifth of the tariff on sugar from Cuba they are clamoring as if chaos were coming and are talking about ruin to their industry which still has 140 per cent, pro tection and couldn't, at the rate they have been progressing in the past, produce sugar enough in forty years to supply the demand for home consumption, even the present demand not to speak of the pros pective demand lorty years hence. The beet sugar kickers have given the country a splendid object les son on the greedy selfishness of pro tection carried to the extreme. Another object lesson is given by the manufacturers who have been shipping their manufactures to for eign markets, competing against foreign manufacturers, and often underselling them, but when It is proposed to reduce the tariff protec tion they have raise a clamor and declare that they cannot stand any tariff reduction. They boast about their ability to "compete with their rivals across the seas and to sell some things for less than they can, that if the tariff were reduced they coudn'tdothat,foritiBtteSS that enable, them to charge the American consumer enough to more than make up the reduction they have to make on their exported goods to compete with European manufacturers. Until this declara tion was made the American people had not thought that they were paying tribute to the manufac turers to enable them to do a for eign business and compete with for eign rivals. But they are getting to under stand it now and don't see why they shouldn't be called upon to do that year after year, having done it so many years already. The people are catching on and the leaders are catching on to the people, which ac countB for the fact that we have more tariff reformers among the Re publican leaders now, than we ever had at any one time before. They are playing the game very shrewdly, however, and while they propose to humor the people they do not pro pose to break with the gentlemen who make campaign contributions. THE NEGRO MASS MEETING. The negro mass meeting, which was held in Raleigh, Tuesday, was well attended and by men who seemed to have business in view and "talked out in meetin'." The address issued, taken as a whole, was in good spirit, sensible, and full of suggestions .for the bet terment of the race, if they act upon it and live up to it. The leading spirits of the meeting and the men who drafted the address showed by their speeches and the address that they have sized np the white Repub lican leaders they have been follow ing, and come to the conclusion that it is about time for the negroes to cease being nsed as monkeys to pull chestnuts oat of the fire for the fel lows who have been fraternizing with the "colored man and brother" before elections and dropping him like a hot iron when they had no farther use for him. They may mean this now, but there has been a good deal of talk of that kind before elections for some years past, but it was all forgotten by the time the elections came around and the colored cohorts were marshalled as usual and marched to the ballot boxes by these same white bosses who got the ballots and when the ballots won got the offices and the jobs that there was any money in. The fact is the white leaders have been playing the negroes ever since the days of "forty acres and a mule" and negroes with sense enongh to go under cover from a storm ' know it, so that there is nothing really new in in this demon stration of last Tuesday, although it may interest Jeter C. Pritchard, who received marked attention. GOING FOR THE BEEP TRUST. In response to a resolution of in quiry by the House of Representa tives Attorney General Knox has stated that he has given instruc tions to the United States district attorneys to institute a rigid inves tigation to ascertain whether there is, as alleged, a meat combination organized in restraint of trade, for the purpose of putting up prices, etc, in violation of Federal statutes. Of course, the gentlemen who are running this meat business will de ny that they have entered into a combine for any such purpose, bu are simply following the "commu nity of interest" plan invented by Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan, when he combined the steel plants and merged the railroads that he could bring into the combine. That's all. Of coarse such an idea as running prices up never entered their heads or constituted a factor of the com bination. If prices have advanced and the man of average earnings has to substitute codfish or liver for his usual steak or roast it isn't their fault, for the ordinary wage earner must not expect to get square meals of fresh beef at moderate prices when Western farmers are feeding beef cattle on 65 -cent corn. 1 hat is about what they will answer wnen asked about the combine to raise prices, &c, and maybe they will succeed in persuading some of the district attorneys to believe it. Our opinion is that the investiga tion will not amount to much and that if the people want to bring the meat Trust down they will have to pursue a course independent of legal proceedings, boycott it, and go without their meat rations until it comes to terms. A European inventor is at work on a submarine boat in which he says he will cross the Atlantic, making the entire trip under water. This is probably the Frenchman who proposes to run a submarine boat to carry passengers from France to J&ngiand under the channel. When Santos-Dumont gets his air ship running and this fellow gets his submarine boat running, people who want to take a jaunt across can soar over, glide along on top or dive and go under, as they prefer. Some people call St. Louis a slow town, and yet a 14-year old boy there has just eloped with and married an 11-year old girl, and at last accounts their parents hadn't spanked 'em.

A disfigurement of the finger nails, to which many are subject and which causes severe pain whenever an attempt Is made to tear it off, is hang nail. To remove bang nails various methods are employed. Some people bite them off, others cut tbem, and again some pull them off, but the best way is to loosen the membrane of the nail with a blunt instrument and then cut away the ragged flesh with a pair of scissors. If the membrane grows too long or rath er too high on the finger nails, press it back with a blunt instrument and then cut off with a pair of curved scissors. Indeed, the membrane should be press ed back every day after washing the hands. Do not, however, be too rough ln the treatment of the nails if you do not wish to run the risk of injuring them at the roots. Dow to Dry Robber Boots. It was a problem how to dry out our hip rubber boots. In the sitting room there was an open grate fire, which was covered every night with fine coal and a few shovelfuls of ashes, so that the room never became quite cold. We found that if we heated a piece of old flannel as hot as possible and stuffed it down into the foot of a boot and stood the boot in front of the fireplace it was as dry as a bone next morning.

The. immediate cause of insomnia is abnormal activity of the brain, which rirnwn nn undue amount , of blood to that orcan. Cold feet usually accom pany a heated brain. To re-establish normal conditions the tension must be removed and the blood drawn from the brain to the extremities, thus equaliz ing circulation. a scientist who studies brain fag recommends gymnastic exercise to pre- de rpnose. The following exercises, each reDeated several times, are rec ommended: Standing normally, inhale slowly. Vigorously stretch the arms out horizontally from the shoulders, nortHTiti(T them to the finger tips. At the same time rise on the balls of the ft. i After remaining motionless for a few mnmonta alowlv relax the arms, return . to the normal poise and exhale. Stretch the arms ln front of the body ana re- 1 dl- neat the exercise: also stretch them rectly upward and repeat. Unite the three movements of the arms, raising them horizontally forward and up ward, rising on the balls of the feet, inhaline and exhaling as before, Next stand with the weight" on one foot Extend the other a long step dtiifronallv forward, touching the ! toe to the ground. Partially transfer the weight to -the forward root, at ine aorru time hend that knee as much as nnaaihle and raise the heel high from the ground, keeping the. whole of the back foot on the ground until this posi tion of the bent knee and tne raisea heel of the forward leg is firmly taken. Then gradually pull all but the toe of the back foot from the grouna. while nrpssinsr down forcibly, as if overcoming a strong resistance, with the forward lee. The forward knee straightens, the whole foot comes to the ground and the weight is trans ferred to the forward leg during the movement. Slowly transfer the weight to the back leg, rorcioiy pusning mat foot to the ground as the heel of the forward foot rises. If sufficient force is exerted in press ing the feet to the ground, after five minutes' practice they will glow and tingle. That the extremities be warm is a necessary condition for slumber Many people are troubled with wake fulness in the night after a short sleep. It requires determination to rise and take exercise, although that is the only way ln which some persons can obtain relief. LITTLE DROPS OF WATER, A Chinese Punishment That Downed Strong Man 8andow. One of the Chinese modes of pun Ishment, especially when it is de sired to extort a confession from a criminal, is to place him where a drop of water will fall on one cer tain spot of his 6haven crown ' for hours. Some measure of the tor ture this inflicted was ondb experi enced by Sandow, the "strong man," says The World's Events. When Sandow was in Vienna some years ago, a schoolmaster made a wager with him that he would not be able to let a half liter of watei drop on his hand until the measure was exhausted. Sandow laughed at the idea. The measure was procured and a hole drilled in the bottom sufficient to let the water escape drop by drop The experiment began. Sandow chatted gayly at first. The school master stood by and counted the drorjs as thev fell. At the two hun dredth Sandow became less jovial: then he became sober, and an ex pression of pain crossed his face. At the three hundredth his hand began to swell and grow red. The pain increased and at length became excruciating. Then the ekm burst Finally at the four hundred and twentieth drop Sandow- acknowl edged his defeat. The Doctor and His Patient. Dr. P. of -London enjoys a very large practice and hardly finds time to take his much needed: rest, One day Dr. P., who had company to dinner, sat quietly chatting in a corner of the drawing room when he was told that a patient had come to see him who was strongly recom mended by some fellow -practition ers. The doctor submitted with a bad grace and stepped into his sur gery. - ! Our physician was in the habit of ascertaining the condition of the patient by asking him to count and generally stopped him at thirty or thirty-five, quite enough for the purpose. This time also Dr. P. ask ed his patient to count. Time pass ed, and the guests began to feel alarmed at his protracted absence. One of them opened the surgery door. Dr. P. had gone to sleep in his armchair, and the patient had counted up to 8,643, ijQiuJon An swers. Dogs as Horses.

COTTON MARKETS. By.TeiejrraDh to the Morning star New York, April 16. The cotton market opened steady with prices un changed to three- points lower, this beincr an indifferent response to very disappointing Liverpool cables and to large receipts at the ports. Soon after the call tbe whole list eased off a point or so further, in the absence of gener ous speculative support and under scattering sales by Wall street com mission bouses. The new crop date from private wires reflected favorable prospects for the cotton already in the ground and told of active preparations over pretty much the entire northern nortion of the belt. The weather con ditions were ideal and there was less talk of acreaee reduction. But as was the case yesterday, when least ez Dected. May shorts began to seek cover. Wall Btreet buying orders came to the front and the New Orleans market made an upward lunge, which sur orised even the bull leaders here. For the balance of the day speculation was active, with the general course of prices unward on covering and new buyine Soon after midday the July option in New Orleans moved up to 9 25. this being seven points above the previous record price for the season. New Or leans buying orders here helped to advance May to 9.07, July to 9.03 and August to 8.86. Towards the close the commission house contingent sold freely to secure profits and some of the more daring traders went short on the theory that Liverpool will nrove disappointing again to-morrow. The. close was quiet and steady, with prices net six points higher to three points lower, the new crop positions alone showing the decline. Nw York, April 16.
