Yankees Beating John Bull.
Mr. James D. Taney, United States
consul at Belfast, has informed the
State Department that a recent large
importation into the British Kihgdom
of American carpets have caused a
great cimmotion among the English
and Scotch manufacturers.
The American product was sold at
a much lower price than the home car-
pets, and the result has been that there
is a general reduction in carpets of fine
grades. The consul states that he is
informed on good authority that the
English and Scotch makers are new
manufacturing a special grade of ax-
minsters to compete with the American
carpets. ‘ '°

, An Unpopuiar Tax.
The'expressions of opinion upon an
income tax are not encouraging to the
proposition to revive that method of
raising revenue. Of all the many and
various forms of taxation of which we
had experience in war time it was the
most vexatious and unpopular, and it
would prove the most unpopular tax
that could be levied now.
There is no harm in passing resolu-
tions against, as the Commercial Ex-
change has done, but we doubt if there
is any serious danger of the enact
ment of such a'measure. Its chief ad-
vocates are some Western 'Populisis
who like the idea of, taxing other peo-
ple but who are not so influential as
' they supposed themselves a few weeks
ago. There are, to be sure, some Dem-
ocratic Congressmen, including a few
whose judgment carries weight, who
advocate an income tax on theoretical
grounds — and theoretically there is
much to be said in its favor—and there
will be afavOrablereport on the sub-
ject made to the ways and means .com-
mittee. That the committe itself will
abopt the idea is improbable, and that
it could command the assent of both
houses of Congress is almost impossi-
ble.
Christmas Gifts.
The season of agony and annu'al gift-
giving, and receiving, is at hand and
wretched women, over-worked mothers
and wives and many other classes of
human beings are already preparing for
the annual present-making which robs
Christmas of nearly all its pleasures.
Christmas means to many people, givers
and recipients, such a feeling of burden
that the royal holiday becOmes a dread-
ed period.
Manifestly this is all wrong, says an
exchange, and has grown out of the
abuse of gift making which has devel-
oped into a regular nuisance. This
year Christmas is looked forward to
with more than the usual dread. Hard
times are upon. and money can be
expended more profitaby than in mak-
ing Christmas gifts. ,
“ Merry Christmas ” should mean
something more than a worry over gift-
making and the emptying of one’s purse
in gift~returning. Ladies, you are lead-
ers in this matter, begin then this year
to confine your gift making to the poor,
to your children and members .of your
own fireside and the advent of the new
custom, or rather the return to the old
will lift a weight from many a heart
now made fearful by the dredd of re-
ceiving gifts,to return which means an
penditure of money hard to spare.
Tariff Legislation and'the South.
When the ruling party in Congress
comes to frame a new tariff bill it will
be forcibly reminded of the'fact that
there is a New South.
No longer a purely agricultural sec-
tion, as it was before and for some time
after the late war, it has large indus-
trial interests which it desires to foster
and to strengthen by protection, as
they have been fostered and strength-
ened in other states. Significant were
the utterances of the Alabama manu-
facturers and capitalists before the
Ways and. Means Committee a few days
ago, and no less significant was the ad-
dress to the Democratic party recently
issued by them. In unmistakable lan-
guage they threatened that if their in-
terests were put in jeopardy by adverse
legislation they would seek relief in
affiliation with that party whOse poli-
cies would give themra guarantee that
inits hands those interests would suffer
no harm. ,

America for Americans.
Mr. Theodore Roosevelt hasoccupied
a somewhat conspicuous position for
several years, and a position that. has
subjected him to more or less criticism,
especially as a leader and authority in
the cause of civil service reform. But
in all that he does or undertakes to do
he is admittedly forceful, aggressive
and sincere, and, ‘says the Washington
Post, the attitude which he occupies
with regard to our public school system,
marks high measure for the man in
this respect.
On Wednesday evening of last week
he delivered an address before a Boston
audience on the general subject of
Americanism in the schools in which
he argued with consummate earnest-
ness against the diversion of State
moneys fOr educational“ establishments
of a sectarian character and at the same
time denounced the policy prescription
on any religious ground in the creation
of public school boards. All that he
asked was that good Americans should
be invariably let'in and the old world
prejudices kept out. ‘ ,
The spirit and tenor of his address
may be best understood from the pero-
ration with which it closed :
“Exactly as in our public schools the
lesson should be conducted in no lan-
guage but in English, neither in Ger-
man, French, Spanish, nor any other,
exactly as the children should be taught
to speak United States, and to think
United States and to do United
States, so we have a right to de-
mand that the voters in settling about
the public schools should vote as Amer-
icans merely, and should realize that
it is utterly abhorent to and unworthy
of real Americanism to discriminate
for or against any American because of
his birthplace or because of his creed.”
That is good “United States” talk,
Mr. Roosevelt. It embodies a platform
on which all good‘ citizens may stand.
It suggests a reform that faithfully fol-
lowed and carried out will make our
public schools the nurseries of patriot;
ism,- the source and inspiration of the
truest citizenship and the world’s best
models.

time, the French are seeking to restore
them to these very functions. Under
the Second Empire,vand even up to
1875. there was no doubt in the matter,
and no one thought of entering a salon
without white gloves. But at this
period a change was manifested, owing
to the influence of the American col-

There was a fire on Water street Mon-

at the store of W. H. Smith & Co.
Harry Beers, employed at the Electric
Light station, called at the store for a
can of asphaltum oil, and accompanied
the clerk, Edward Taylor, to the oil
room. It was rather dark in the room
and Beers lighted a match to see as to
whether the can was filled. The vapor
from the Oil became ignited and there
was an explosion.
The woodwork about the room was
set on fire and the flames ate their way
to the cellar where James Morris, an-
other clerk, was at work. Morris suc-
ceeded in extinguishing the fire in the
cellar and then ran up stairs and across
the street to the Hope Hose house and
Messrs. R. Goldschmidt, Charles Payne
and Lorenzo Adams secured a line of
hose and made a connection with a hy-
drant, but in the meantime the fire had
been extinguished.
Edward Taylor, the clerk, sustained
severe burns about the face and was
taken to the hospital for treatment. '
Young Beers who lighted the match
was also séverely burned about his face

rescue was also severely burned on the
hands. ,

but upon investigation it appears to‘have
been an earthquake. Buildings shook,
dishes rattled and doors flew open in all
digrctions. Reports from surrounding
towns indicate that the shock has been
heard in all parts of the Green Mountain

partly shattered. It is also reported that.
one of the walls of the Academy building
was somewhat sprung. The teachers and
children fled from the building, thinking
that the boilers had exploded.
The shocks were like two successive
blasts of dynamite, the motion being ap-
parently upward, at first, followed by a
lateral ‘swaying. All nearby towns felt
the shock. The upheval seems to have
traveled from northwest to southeast.
Frightened School Children. .

quake shock was felt here about 11:40

from the shock. It was noticed particu-
larly in the public school building where

ONCE AN ELOQUENT PREACHER.
Rev. Dr. 'Pritchard Sentenced to Jail
as a Common Drunkard.
PORTLAND, Me., Nov. 28.—:—A most pa-
thetic and sensational scene was enacted
in the municipal court yesterday when
Judge Gould sentenced Rev. B. F. Pritch-
.ard, at one time considered one of the
most eloquent preachers in the state, to
jail as a common drunkard.
The evidence went to show that Mr.
Pritchard was addicted to the use of drugs,
and his pitiable condition gave proof of
the fact. '
When the sentence was pronounced ho
madegan eloquent plea in his own behalf
and eutreated the judge to show mercy,
vowing that he would never again touch
liquor. The court, however, said he felt
that under the circumstances he could not
let him go. -

help to-day. The various shop crews
marched ‘in a body to their respective
factories and tramped into the offices

the proprietors and sometimes invited . '
the manufacturers to join them in their
lockout. '
_ The various trade unions are work;
ing in 'harmony with each other. The
executive committees have been hold-.

their deliberations is not given to the

tions for werk.
