WASHINGTON LETTER,
Champ Clark's Great Speech Wasteful'
ness Id Caring for ( Old Soldiers
' Prospect ot Republican Defeat Next
November. ... f" , '
From Tavenner,' The Courier's Washington Cor.
respondent.
The Payne-Aldrich-Smoot tariff
revision was upward by approxi
mately 1.71 per cent, and has al
ready resulted in increased prices.
Hon. Champ Olark, of Missouri,
leader of the Democrats in the
House of Representatives, delivered
a speech, which was a moBt effective
answer to the Republicans who have
attempted to feed the publio on the
assertion that the rayne-AldriCh bill
"was the best tariff bill" ever passed,
ana wno are aesperaieiy in neeu oi
campaign material for use in the
approaching congressional elections.
The Minority Leader denounced
the proposed appropriation or &2oO,
000 of the people's money for the
purpose of enabling the Republicans
to gather data with which to prove
that the new tarirt law is a troo-send
to the country.
He denounced the joker in the su
ear schedule. He deplored a condi
tion which permits the steel truatand
other monopolies to sell their manu
factured products cneaper to toreign
era than to Americans. In saor:
Mr, Clark's speech will go down as
one of the great Democratic Key
notes of this session of Congress.. "
"It is true," admitted Mr. Clark,
"that we reduced the duty of lum
ber, and that the lumber trust mark
ed up the price of lumber $1 per
thousand-feet before the last of us
trot out of Washington. And if the
Department of Justice had done its
datv it would by this time have
filled the jails so full of lumber
t-nst magnates that tneir arms anu
legs would stick out or tne windows
and doors."
Mr. Payne, the Republican leader
says that he and his cohorts will
meet us in November. They will
meet us because they cannot help
themselves, and they will receive
one of the bloodiest lickings they
have had since 1892. ' The Demo
cratic party now stands shoulder to
shoulder, while the Republican party
p eients the appearance of a dissolv
ing view.
While ths Bum of $5,000,300 is
being spent annua'ly by the govern
ment f or,the maintenance of soldiers'
h )mes, the Republicans are forcing
the old soldiers to subsist on from
11 to 14 cents worth of food per day.
Although the cost of maintaining
the soldiers' home more than doubled
in the ten years between 1898 and
1908, the number of soldiers cared
for incr aed only 7 per cent.
Frederick M. Kirby, the young
interior department stenographer
who was dismissed -because he ad
mitted that Oscar Lawler, an ap-
Sointee of Ballinger, had practically
ictated President Taft's letter ex
onerating Ballinger, was the sole
support of a mother; wife and babe.
He had worked hard ad conscien
tiously for five years to reach the po
sition ha ocoupied when dismissed.
"The new rates and classifications
in the cotton schedule," says Sena
tor Dolliver, Republican, 'operate
to increase duties very materially on
most cotton cloths. In fact, the
Aldrich revision off this schedule
was one of the most daringly iniqui
tous features of the new tariff. The
production of agricultural imple
ments is largely in the hands of a
trust, arid the trifling reduction of 5
per cent, on these products was
merely for the purpose of attempt
ing to fool the farming community."
In his speech on the tariff Champ
Clark declared that if President
Taft had vetoed the Payne-Aldrich-Smoot
tariff bill, he could have
written his name among the conn
try's greatest benefactors. "But he
let the golden opportunity go by un
improved' added the minority
leader, "and it will never return to
him as long as tne grass grows or
water runs." '
rhe New Name.
Tr,e General Conference of the M.
E. church South, in Asheville last
week voted to change the name of
the denomination to the Methodist
Episcopal Church in America.
The name cannot however be legally
changed before the next general
conference after the annual confer
esces have approved the change by
a three-fourths vote.

FOREIGN .CRUISE.
One of Uncle. Sam's Sailor's From Kan-
dolph Writes ot Doings in the' Navy.
The prospects of an interesting
foreign cruise in the near future are
pleising to every man Berving in the
home fleets. Two squadrons of
cruisiers are in South America this
summer to help celebrate the birth
of liberty on the east coast and then
on the west; but the most popular
trip will be the one made by the
United States Atlantic Fleet to the
Mediterranean.
A squadron was organized April
5, under command of Rt-ar Admiral
s. A. Staunton, consisting of the
North Carolina. Montana. South
Dakota,1 Tennessee, . and Chester
It is known as the United States
Special Ssrvice Squadron. This
squadron was due to arrive at
Buenos Ayrts, Argentina, May 19,
to participate in the Ceutennial
Celebration of the country's inde
pendence from Spain. Mapr Qen.
eral Leonard Wood, of the United
States army has been appointed
special commissioner to represent the
United States government at the
Exposition. He and Mrs. Wood
took passage in the Montana.
After the Celebntion, the South
D 'kota will return to the west coast
and rejoin the Pacific Fleet. The
Washington willj then be" detached
and brought around to the east, and
together with the lennessee will re.
main on this side.
The plans are now to send the en
tire Atlantic Fleet to the Mediterra
nean in the fall. While the ltinerw
ry has not been worked out, tb
Fleet will no doubt visit the princi
pal parts of Southern Europe an'd
liberty will be granted in the most
interesting citiea ' of the world.
This cruise cannot fail to Le of
great value to the ypunger men of
the Navy and Marine Corps. The
Fleet will probably s.iil in Novem
ber. Men who enter now will stand
on excellent chanco of taking part
in this cruise, but I caunot give any
advice toward taking the step.

THE COMET HAS PASSED.
Excitement Over and Many Disippolnt
ed Comet is Sow Visible In Western
Sky Early Evening Terrors of the
Ignorant and Superstitious.
Halley's comet has come and gone;
the world is none the worse and very
little wiser. In fact, many are dis
appointed because the comet is not
coming up to its reputation. The
astronomers said it would equl the
sun in size and brilliancy, bet it 1 1
scarcely greater in appearance than
a large star and not nearly
so bright. However, they Bay the
earth has really passed through the
tail, though the exact time of pass
ing cannot be determined. But
since tbe phenomenon is not to be
seen again for seventy-five years, it is
not prudent to neglect it now.
Halley's comet has been the most
talked of topic for several weeks.
For seme days it was visible in
the eastern eky a little while before
day. But the long looked for day
was May 18, when the comet was to
pass over the sun and the earth to
pass through the tail. The most
intelligent astronomers said that no
harm was likely to happen to the
earth, there being only one chance
in 281,000,000, but some sort of
visible effect was expected. Some
looked for a meteoric display; others,
for storms and electrical disturbances
affecting telegraphs and telephones;
some, an auroral display similar to
northern lighbf a few teared possi
ble danger from poisonous gases.
But while .many waited for the
comet's passing with only curiosity,
many, more, especially negroes and
ignorant people lived in terror.
In New xork uity, tnousands sat
up Wednesday night watching for
the celestial wonHer; the Eist Side
was terribly alarmed and Buffered
several panics. Labor in different
parts of the country was demoraliz
ed from the employees refusing to
wor. Negroes ull over the country
held sjecial Eervices praying for de
liverance from the approaching ca
lamity. Una negro worn in in
South Carolina arose Wednesday
morning, looked at the comet, and
fell dead. Many Mexicans; collect
ed on the hills, around crucifixes
and performed inenntations and
weird ceremonies to avert the im
pending doom Many Porto Ricans
left off work, carried candles, chant
ed prayers, and confessed their sins.
A voodoo doctor in Hatai made a
fortune by selling pills to the ne
gros which were warrijted to keep
off all evil effects of the comet.
However, Wednesday night came,
nothing was felt and little seen.
An auroral glow in the northwest
was noticed in some parts of the
country. On Thursday, a broad
spectrum of light extending across
and to a considerable distance on
either Bide of the sun was seen, in
Winsconsin and thought to have
been caused by the comet's tail.
The astronomers can not say def
initely when the earth passed
through the tail. Opinions vary
from 1 1 p. m. Wednesday to 8 a. m,
Thursday, and even later. The
reason given for this is that the tail
was curved and did not swish by as
quickly as was expected. However
all agree that the comet has really
pased the sun and is now whirling
away from the earth at the rate of
thousands of miles a minute, which
it will continue to do for 37 and i
years, going 500,000,000 miles far
ther away than the farthest known
planet., when it will again turn
back towards the earth.
This is not the first time in the
history of the world that people havj
have been terrified by this wonder
of the heavens. It was seen in the
year 12 B. C. It scared Christen
don after the Turks took Constanti
nople in 1456. It was associated
with the capture of Quebec in 1759,
and with a financial gambling mania
in 1835.
Yet the astronomers say the tail
of the comet is only condensed sun
light, containing one solid molecule
to the cnbic yard. One Harvard
Professor says it is the "airiest ap.
proach to nothing." The head is
said te be made up of a mass of
meteorites, larger than the earth in
bulk but inferior in mass and
weight.
In Medieval times, comets were
looked upon as harbingers of God's
wrath, foretelling catastrophe, war,
and death. Sir Edmond Halley, who
lived in tbe Seventeenth Century
was one of the first men to give
them much reasonable thought.

Mr. I. II. Pugh Dead.
Mr. I. H. Pugh died suddenly at
his home near Franklinville, last
Sunday morning. Mr. Pugh was.
at the bedside of his son, Henry
Pugh, who was ill at his home in
Franklinville, until about midnight,,
when he left for his home, having
complained of feeling tad before

pected. On reaching home, he re
tired between 12 and 1 o'clock p. nu
About 3 o'clock, Mrs. Pugh heard
her husband making anmnuusal noise
and called to him, but getting no
reply she quickly lighted a lamp,
and went to his bedside when he
was breathing his last. All efforts,
to revive him were in vain. v
The remains were laid to rest in
the cemetery at Pleasant Ridge Mon
day morning. Rev. Marion Baldwin,
conducted tbe funeral service amid
a large concourse of people.
Mr. Pugh was a consistent Chris
tian gentleman and a good citizen
who will be sadly missed in his com
munity. He leaves a wife, two sons,
and two daughters to mourn the
loss of an affectionate husband and.
kind father,
There is no record that the earth
has ever before passed through the
tail of a comet and no prophecy that
it ever will again.
The comet is now visible to the
naked eye in the western sky fro
about 8 to 10 p. m., and will set a.
little later each evening until July
1, after which it will no longer bV
seen except through the telescope.
It looks to be slightly greater in
size than the largest stars, but not
so bright, and there is only a faint
suggestion of a tail. It is the
chance of a life time to see the mys
terious visitor, even though it does
not come up to the show promised,
by the astronomers.
