The Pori Boyal Scheme.
The attempt to take the Augusta and
Port Rojal railroad out of tba control
of Receiver Comer and pat tato tbe
possession of i receiver ?ho ts A resi?
dent of Sooth Carolina is, apareo tl j,
part of a s?beme to boom Port Royal.
The attempt was not a surprise to the
management of the Central It was"
thought it might be made wheo the
movement to hu? ? the charter of the
road declared f bid wa? inaugurated in
the Sooth Carolina Segislature a few
weeks ago. ito doubt ie entertained
that those who were behind the move?
ment in the legislature are directing the
attempt to get possess i oe of the road
through the courts
It ts believed that some of those who
helped to so load the Central with debt
that it was tntftjr forced loto the hands
of a receiver are engaged ia this
attempt rd wf?t from the Central some
of 5s possessions. Whether or not
th? hefief ia correct will socs be
known. When the io side history of
ft% Central railroad for the Ust few
^'8 ts written there is reaten to be?
lieve that some cort?os things will be
t?s&osed.
The .Augusta and Port Royal road
will not go out of Receiver Growers con?
trol without a lively legal fight. The
road is io Jadge Speer's coart now sod
it will stay there for awhile in all
I?robafcf?ry. If he is convinced that
tue ?&eopt to place it the bands another
'receiver is in the interest of speculators
au'd schemers rather the owners of the
property. Ute law that takes it out of
his court will have to be pretty clear
before he will consent to let it go.

Testing the Guns.
Pert Royal, Jan. 31.-The Oficial
t.tals of the pneumatic guns of the
dynamite cruiser Veen vi os began-it ll j
o'clock this morning. The board of J
( Seers appointed to conduct the trial. I
Captain M. Sicard, Captain A. S. j
Baker and Lieutenant A. P. ?Nazro, [
?rrived on the ship at 9 a. m. se as to
stat roo observers to watch the faH ot the
projectiles auk to watch the loading of
the guns and gave order? for the firing
of the first shot at ll : J5 o'clock Io
all, twelve shots were fired, sis *t a
range of two thousand yards and sis at
fifteen hundred yards, the three goa*
being fired In succession. With the "
exception of the first tuvo shots ?red k
from the starboard gus no shot fell ,
snore than twenty yarda distance fresn ;
abe required range and every shot firdd ?
mouM?ave struck the man of warnt the i
distance designated by tbs board.
No target ?as used, but the hoard
specified the distance required and the
xmecrtUfg officers with theodolities re?
corded the results. There ?as no diffi?
culty tn the working of the air ^uns
?or of the supply of air to the re?
servoirs nor io the controlling of thc
?hell by the wind vanes. Tbo?r$t two
shots fired from the starboau&feU about
one hundred feet short -cf r?he required
distance This probaMysdue to a slight
error to the asaumo&feae -of the range
curve, an .-error arising'from limited
number ?of projectiles available for
prelsnssnasy motk. -&s soon as the
?MME ?anas *??e**te>l ?io the range the 1
enuffvo?f the statvoard gun was slightly
a?i?ared a^d the rrvmaioiog shots gave
i the s**re*fO??dr*s*u ? rs as those from the
??AtrjpmwB. Saune first shots fired from
t&e s im ?an tiffin ricocheted in the same
iliac of fire, rep!unging about
.seventy five yards ahead. They exhi
fhitad a slight divergence to the left as
the? came from the water.
During the trial the Vesuvus was se?
curely moored to the naval wharf.
Twelve more shots will be fired tomor?
row under similar condition and then
the trials with the ship in motion will
begin. Lieutenant Schroeder said this
evening that he ?as highly pleased with
the day's work. The board declined
to give official figures preferred not
to expresa an official opinion at this
time. The friends of the Vesuvius are,
however, jal iiaat over thc result and
claim that the day has demonstrated
facts which ?ill revolutionize naval
?arfare.

Il ftO 3^-DUTV.
ff th? Sogar Tai Isltestsrod There Will
Bc Trouble for tho Democrats.
The report came from Washington on
Dec. 20 that Congressman ?afchings, of
Mississippi, said:
"We can frame a tariff bill which will
?are from $100 to $150 a year to every
family of five persons. In that case a
small tax on sugar would not bo felt by
the people. The proposition to retar
thia commodity would, I suppose, meet
with considerable opposition at the out?
set, but as it is the net result which must
be looked at, and as the saving to the
people would be much greater on other
things, I think that a tariff on sugar af?
fords the best means of raising a large
revenue without at the same time im?
posing a burden which would be felt.
"The sogar bounty law can be repealed
at any time* Tfie sugar bounty was
merely a gratuitous gift by congress' to
any industry already in existence. I
favor the repeal of the sugar bounty, but
in its stead I want to see a tariff placed
on the commodity. "
Theoretically Mr. Catchings may be aU
right, but practically he is all wrong. It
is easy to take duties off at any time, but
it is difficult to put duties on in times of
peace. The Republican party had an ex?
perience ia.1890. It took the people just
two months to decide that they had no
more ns? for the party that had put on
j more duties than it had taken off. Th-y
have never since changed their minds.
Tariff taxation is indirect taxation,
and the virtue of indirect taxation lies in
the fact that it niches money from the
pockets of the people so quietly and se?
cretly that they do not see it go and sel?
dom realize that they are taxed. Until
1890 the mass of the people did not know
that they were paying a three cent tax
on every pound of sugar purchased.
They know it now and suspect that du?
ties on other articles are taxes. No other
.article that is or can be protected is con?
sumed so universally and largely as
Yagar. It will therefore be easier to in?
crease any lother duty than this one. The
Democratic party may be true to its
platformed greatly relieve the burdens
of tho people, but if it restores the duty
on sugar nts days will be numbered. The
^Democrats, if they would retain power,
?mestit?ke off and not put on duties. K,
\with rrigid economy, deficiencies occur,
they must be met by some kind of direct
taxation thrt willcompel the rich to
contribute something to the government;
ithatfrW thirty years has been an instru
ttttttt Sur extorting money from the
[pocked of the people to turn it over to
rtrcafeuod corporations.
Convinced Against His WilL
ffia his message of 1890. just after the
cowtftry :hM hit McKinleyism the first
tis?. President Harrison said that there
weald be neither * Wisdom nor justice'*
in preforming the tariff before the Mc
R3t??*jr Hil had had a "fair trial." This
implied that if after a fair trial the
popular verdict of condemnation should
ie repeated, it would be both wise ai.J
gnat to hearken to it. But now he acts
Hko the Irishman who appealed to the
court for justice and got it in the shape
of two years in the penitentiary, and
who made faces and shook his fist at the
learned judge pronouncing sentence. Mr.
Harrison distinctly repudiates for him?
self the idea that he represents the whole
people, and is bound to carry out then
wishes as clearly and legally expressed.
Yet he does not plainly say that he will
veto any tariff bills that may be passed,
only expressing a hope that none will be
passed. It is the clear duty of congress
to put such bills before him as speedily
es possible.
In his letter of acceptance he admitted
that some changes might need to bo
made in the McKinley bilL How does
congress know that free wool and really
free sugar might not now seem to his
better instructed, mind to be such
changes? At any/ rate congress ought
to-go-ahead, an d'find out whether tho
man who was afraid to veto the depend
en?pension bill and the direct tax re?
fund b2? which put mShons of dollars
of taxes upon the people, will get up
courage to : veto" laws for removing
taxes. We admit that a message from
him explaining and defending such a
veto would be a public calamity, but
perhaps he could be induced to send in
a veto pure and simple and omit the
attendant agonies.-New York Evening
Post _
Without Ha?te and Wlthont Delay.
The Democratic leaders are already
anxiously studying conditions. They are
searching for facts that should bo taken
into account They are weighing every
suggestion. Even the most dogmatic
doctrinaires among them realize-now
that tho responsibility of affirmative ac?
tion is upon them-that "it is a condi?
tion, not a theory, which confronts us."
There is in all this no recanting, no
shrinking from the work the people
have set these men to do. They are go?
ing to reform the tariff They are going
to relieve the people bf burdens. They
are going to put the raw materials of
manufacture upon the free list. They
are going to make material reductions in
the duties on the necessaries of life.
They are going to cheapen the cost of
living to the people. They .ire going to
create conditions which will give to the
workman more ?or his wagei than he
now gets. But in doing this they are
going to feel their way cautiously--as
becomes men dealing with affairs that
concern the national prosperity-and
make no avoidablo mistake that can in
any way imperil the welfare of the peo?
ple.-New York World.
Another Trust Combine.
The projected consolidation of tho
White Lead trust and the Linseed Oil
trust will inevitably invite attention to
the very high tariff duties under the
shelter of which these organizations have
done business and fixed prices, The duty
on white lead is three cents a pound,
and the duty on linseed oil was increased
by the McKinley act from twenty-five
cents to thirty-two cents a gallon. These
rates have been prohibitory in spite of
the high prices exacted by the combina?
tions.-New York Times.

HOW TO CARE FOR CLOTHES.
Fractteat Hints to Men on the Preserm
tion of Garment**
When the clothes are removed the
coat should be slipped over a bow hanger
-the vest may be put on it first
A coat that is worn ' quite steadily
from day to day ought always to be
irang on the back of a chair, the arm?
holes being slipped over the back posts?
the vest to be hung first rn like manner.
It is best to place the chair near aa
pen window, as the exposure to air will
uelp to soften the wrinkles.
The trousers should be well shaken, to
free them from dust, and then "pulled. **
This means that the j are to be folded
down where the front and back creases
are. and then, holding them by the top
band, the foot is placed on the bottoms
on the floor and steady , gentle pressure
exerted. ?
Lay the trousers out smoothly on the
bed-still folded on the creases-and fold
lengthwise at the knee line, smoothing
out all possible wrinkles with the hand.
Pvt the trousers on the chair seat In
the morning the entire suit will look
.?rested." and the end will justify the
means.

velope of court plaster, a package of
antiseptic cotton and a flat card wound
with fine linen twine. Above the pock?
et is a band of inch wide silk elastic the
color of the binding, stitched down at
intervals to form rive foldings for five
half ounce flat bottles, with contents
labeled below each bottle on the linen
ammonia, witch hazel, camphor, glyc?
erin, cologne. A loop of elastic cord
on one flap attaches itself to a button on
the opposite one, when they are folded
over the bottles, while the other ends
are also folded and tied as in the usual
traveling dressing case.

How to RemoTe Motea.
Moles are a kind of tumor and may
be removed, when not too large, if not
located on a vein. This is sometimes
done by electricity, bot when the mole
is round and like a bead on the flesh, a
horsehair tied tightly around its base j
will soon remove it Tie it at first as
tight as you can stand it, and every day
draw the hair tighter. On the third or
fourth day the mole will fall off, the
hair having grati nai ly cut it through
Some use thread, but there is always a
chance of this breaking when tightened.
