Miss Mueller Says "He Was
Mine, and Mine Alone."
WIRES AUTHORITIES AS MUCH
She Leaves Boise for St. Paul and
Promises to Punish, a Xnmbcr of
Men. for the Death of
Her Lover.
BOISE, Idaho, Oct. 20. (Special.) Miss
Alexia J. Muller, the sweetheart and be
trothed wife of Jim Tounger, the noted
outlaw, who committed suicide In St.
Paul Saturday night, has been In Boise
, about three months, and has been .liv
ing at the home of Mrs". French, Sixth
and State streets. The news of the sui
cide was secured by her from newspaper
dispatches, but later a dispatch was re
ceived from, her sister, announcing the
tragedy. She was deeply affected.
Miss Muller Intended to start for St.
'Paul this morning, but met with a dlsap
i polntment. Her sister stated money would
be sent her, but It did not arrive, and Miss
'Muller was obliged to remain until to-
night. During the day Miss Muller sent
a dispatch to the authorities at St Paul,
saying: "Jim's body is mine; it must bo
cremated."
"He Is Mine and Mine Alone.?
Discussing the tragedy today, she said:
"Jim wrote me under the date of Octo
ber 16, stating he had given up all hopo
.and was out of work. Saturday he fel
egraphed me: 'Don t write.' He was
driven to this act by his persecutors. I
am his wife, you know, spiritually. No
scandal has ever attached to my name.
B-ut before God he is mine and mine
alone. My life will be to place him
right before the world. I have wired the
authorities to cremate his. body. It was
his request."
Expected to Marry Soon.
The purpose of Miss Muller In coming
to Boise was to regain her health, which
was much broken. She had completed
her outing and was preparing to start
home in a short time. Miss Muller
about 30 years of age. She and Jim
Tounger expected to marry this fall or
next Spring. She became acquainted with
the man during the prosecution of prison
mission work. He attracted her; she
became convinced ho was Innocent and
she actively Interested herself In secur
ing his liberty. It is apparent thatvMlss
Muller rather feared that Younger would
commit suicide. She was not surprised
when the news came. Now that he Is
dead she will attempt to set some mat
ters right which she alleges are wrong.
It is her claim that he was Innocent and
suffered for others. From what she Bays
of Cole Tounger, the brother, it is evi
dent she believes that Jim. suffered to
shield him from punishment for crimes
not known to the public. She is also
incensed against the Warden of the Min
nesota Penitentiary, and It is apparent
she intends to make some disclosures of
alleged wrongdoing on his part during
the time Jim was confined there. The
time has come, she says, for xne guilty
to suffer. There Is a tale to be unfolded
and she proposes to unfold it.
Miss Muller is from an influential fam
ily. Her father is living in St. Paul. She
wrote a history of the Police and Fire
Departments of St. Paul and did work on
the Salt Lake Herald during the Presi
dential campaign of 1900. fane is now
writing a novel. She left this afternoon
for St. Paul. She is a woman of inde
pendent means.
BODY HAS DEEN EMBALMED.
Authorities "Will Hold It Until Ar
rival of Yonnccr's Sister?
ST. PAUL, Oct. 20. The disposition to
bo made of Jim Toungcr's body has not
yet been determined. The body has been
embalmed and will be kept here until
Mrs. Ella Rollins, of Dallas, Tex., sister
of the Tounger brothers, can be heard
from. "When alive Tounger frequently
expressed the wish that his body be ere
mated when he died. This plan will be
carried out. The body may be cremated
here, or taken to Kansas City for ere
matlon.
The parents of the Toungers and other
deceased members of the family. Includ
ing Bob Tounger, who died In the State
Penitentiary, are buried In a cemetery
near Kansas City. Ultimately. Jim
Tounger's mortal remains will undoubt
edly rest In the family burial lot.
It is not probable that Cole lounger
will be allowed to accompany his broth
er's body away from here, because of
the parole governing his whereabouts.
The parole forbids his leaving the state,
and the parole cannot be modified, ex
cept at a regular meeting of the Board
of Pardons. The board will not meet
again until November 8. A special meet
ing can be called on 10 days' notice, but
it is said the parole cannot be extended
to a pardon, if this course was desired,
at a special meeting.
TAFT ANSWERS TEACHERS
Complaints About Philippine Posi
tions Not Well Founded.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20. Some time ago
complaints were made by school teachers
in the Philippines about the hardships
which they endured. It was asserted that
good places were given to a few teach
ers and bad places to others. Complaint
also was made that the condition of the
currency caused a loss to the teachers,
and that the commissary supplies of the-,
insular administration were not good. All
these complaints were referred to Govern
or Taft. His reply has now been re
ceived at the War Department.
Governor Taft says that in the very na
ture of things the teachers find to enter
upon duties which were largely of a mis
sionary character and hardships were cer
tain to be the portion of some. It was
impossible to make all assignments equal,
but as the facts became known, efforts
would be made to equalize the duties of
teachers, so that all would share In the
pleasant duties as well as in the arduous
work.
Governor Taft says that the completion
of the boats that have been building for
the insular government there wiil be a
better system of supply from the commis
sary department.
PRESIDENT TO BE EXONERATED.
Free From Blame on Account of As
sault Upon Spanish Consul.
"WASHINGTON. Oct. 20. It Is learned
from Manila papers received at the War
Department that upon an Investigation
the President of Cebii was exonerated
from all blame on account of the assault
made upon the Spanish Consul at that
place. The President, however, was sus
pended at the tlmo the charges were
made, and has not yet been reinstated.
Seventeen policemen were arrested for
the assault at the time. Four were con-
vlcted. The Spanish Minister. In maklne
complaint to the State Department
about the assault, used language which
went further than that ordinarily em
ployed In diplomatic correspondence,
showing that his government was very
much Incensed that the assault had been
committed.
The military telegraph has been turned
over to the insular constabulary by an
act of the Philippine Commission. These
lines heretofore, have been operated by
the signal corps of the Army.
NEGRO BURNED TO DEATH
Charged With Assaulting: and Then
Murdering: a "White "Woman.
FOREST CITY, Ark., Oct. 20. Charles
Toung, a negro charged with assaulting
and afterward murdering Mrs. Ed Lewis, a
white woman, was burned tonight by a
mob of infuriated citizens of this county.
The Sheriff used every effort against this
extreme measure. He had telephoned to
Judge Hutton, who had promised to come
tomorrow and give Immediate trial for the
negro, and the leaders of the mob had
given the Sheriff positive pledges that
they would await the trial and take no
violent measure. About 8:30 o'clock tonight
a mob marched to the Jail and demanded
the keys. Deputy Sheriff Murphy under-

THE CONVICT AND THE GIRL "WHOM LEGAL FICTION KEPT
APART.
The suicide of James Tounger, tho paroled convict, is the climax of a tragic
romance. Though actually olive and able to love as intensely as any man, he was
legally dead, and therefore Incapable of entering: Into a. marriage contract. De
spairing of overcoming the legal obstacles to his union with Miss Allxia Mueller,
the girl whose love he won when he lay wounded In prison, he ended all with
a bullet
James Tounger and his two brothers were sentenced to life Imprisonment, 'No
vember 21, 1870. for the murder of J. L. Heywood, cashier of a Northfleld,
Minn., bank. On July 14, 1901, the Tounger brothers were released from prison
on parole, but, although they were permitted to go anywhere within the bounds
of the State of Minnesota, the "court held them legally dead.
James Tounger was badly shot about the mouth and shoulders during the
fierce battle in which he was captured near Madelia, two weeks after the North
field raid, and while he was in prison was frequently ill. Mls3 Mueller,, a
pretty girl then residing in Stillwater, in the family of a deputy warden, had
constant ccess to the penitentiary, and became Interested In Tounger because of
his feebleness, and often took delicacies to him." They soon became firm friends,
and Tounger told the young woman the troubles of his career as guerrilla and
bandit.
In spite of tho fact that he was more than 20 years her senior and In the dis
grace of a prison garb, tho girl fell In love with Tounger. Both regarded their
prospects of nJatrlmony as well nigh hopeless, as Tounger was scheduled to re
main at Stillwater Penitentiary the remainder of his life.
Then the parole came, and the couple were not long In reaching tho conclusion
v to get married.! Miss. Mueller's St. Paul relatives are people of prominence, one of
them having been recently a member of the Legislature, and considerable objec
tion was ralsedVo the proposed nuptials because of the stigma which It "was feared
would attach c.4 the bride. Reluctant consent, however, was obtained from the
blood kin. andjTounger, happy over his conquest) repaired to the County Clerk
and asked for A license.
Mr. Rogers, jthe Clerk, generous, though Just, hesitated, and, doubting his
power In the premises, placed the case before Attorney-General Douglas. This
official spent days going over the musty tomes of the state law library, but he
could find no authority anywhere for the Issuance of a marriage license to any
body actually or legally dead. I
Mr. Douglas" extended his sympathy, but told Tounger the only way in which he
could become a legal benedict would be to get through a supplementary legisla
tive act giving the Board of Control (formerly the Board of Pardons) the power to
grant a full pardon, -which would, of course, carry with It complete restoration to
citizenship.
All this would take time, as there would be no session of the Legislature until
next January. Tounger evidently had no faith In any relief from that body, so
used a pistol to make the facts agree with the legal fiction that ho was dead.
took to communicate with Sheriff "Will
lams, whereupon members of the mob took
the cell keys from Murphy, and, breaking
in the jail door with sledge-hammers,
dragged the prisoner from his cell. Sheriff
Williams had arrived in the meantime, his
protests not being heeded. The mob took
the negro to a point about ha'.f a mile
east of town, bound him. piled wood
around him and set fire to It. The negro
begged plteously for his life, but the mob
turned deaf eaTs. In a short time, the
flames leaped up, and. he expired In the
presence of the several hundred men.
After Toung had been put to death, the
mob started In quest of another negro, al
leged to have been Implicated In the kill
ing of Mrs. Lewis. At midnight he had
not been found.

From what can bo learned the robbers

IRISH LEAGUE IN SESSION
LEADERS OF INTERNATIONAL REP
UTATION IN ATTENDANCE.
Redmond, Davitt and Dillon Repre
sent Ireland Bonrke Coctoan Is
Chosen Temporary Chairman.
BOSTON, Oct. 20. A notable gathering
of leaders of International reputation
made remarkable the opening of the first
convention of the Irish National League
in this city today. John E. Redmond,
M. P.; Michael Davitt, 'and John Dillon,
M. P., envoys for Ireland; Hon. Edward
Blake. Irish member of Parliament; Unit
ed States Senator Smith, of New-Jersey;
Patrick Egan. ex-United , States Minister
to Chile, and Patrick Ford, of the Irish
"World, were among the delegates.
The convention was opened at 11:45 by
National President John Flnnerty. Bourke
Cockran was chosen temporary chairman.
In addressing the convention Mr. Cockran
said that an. appeal to arms by the Irish
people would be folly rather than patriot-
ism, but that when the truth of the Irish
question had' become apparent to the
world an adjustment ot the difficulty
would be possible. The committee on cre
dentials reported that 6S7 delegates, ln-
eluding 127 delegates-at-large, representing
21 statt3 and the District of Columbia and
Canada, were entitled jto seats.
The convention was then organized with
John F. Flnnerty, of Chicago, as perma
nent chairman. Committees were ap
pointed with the following chairmen:
Rule?. General Obelrne, New York: by
lams, M. P. Curran, Massachusetts; plat
form and resolutions, M. G. Ryan, Phila
delphia; ways and means. United States
Senator Smith, New Jersey; permanent
organization, Patrick Ford, New Tork.
Before the afternoon adjournment
speeches were made by M. P. Curran, of
Boston, and General James R. Obelrne,
of New Tork.
After the committee on ways and means
had been perfected, a number of letters1
of regret were read, notably from Presi
dent Roosevelt, Governor Crane, Mayor
Collins and Bishop Conaty.
John Dillon one of the Irish envoys, pre
faced Ills' remarks by saying that he was
amazed at the strength of the movement
In America, and the success of the con
vention, both of which, he said, would.
give courage to the brethren In Ireland
I and consternation to her enemies,
He said
the league needed assistance In Ireland
because the people there were disarmed,
because they were not allowed free
speech, a free discussion in the press, the
liberty of public meeting, and, lastly.
trial .by jury. This, he said, is tyranny.
He recounted some of the experiences
of John O'Donnell and William Redmond
ir trying to address meetings. There are
those who will tell you, he said, "that the
true remedy is the revival of Irish indus
tries; but I say there will never be a re
vivai until the hand of the landlord is re
moved." He urged sending to Ireland
( steady
contributions that the contest
against Englan might not flag. '
Michael Davitt, the next speaker, said
there were organized in Ireland 113:
branches, with an average membership of
0, which gives a total memebrship of
110,000. He also said there were SOD
branches in England, Scotland and Wales
i Mr. Davitt said he believed the brethren
j In this country at that time deserted the
caupe of Ireland In not fighting England
The platform and resolutions were then
presented. They pledged the convention
to uncylng allegiance In the cause of Ire-
iandls independence, assert the right of
the Irish race to carry on the war against
England by means of honorable weapons
assert the belief that the leaders In Ire
land are best fitted to direct and carry
cn the contest; demand the arraignment
of England at the bar of public opinion
through dissemination of facts regarding
her rule: declare that the United Irish
League is the only menace to England's
rule In Ireland, and, finally, urge upon the
members of this country to contribute
liberally to the cause. The convention
adjourned until tomorrow,
ADDRESS OF PRESIDENT" FINERTY
He Upbraids Britain for Alleged
WroDRd Visited Upon Ireland.
BOSTON, Oct. 20. President Finerty. In
opening the convention said the delegates
had again assembled in the dual capacity
of American citizens and allies of their
Irish kindred to lift up their voices in I
behalf of Ireland's tillers of the soli to
own the land they cultivate. Now 60,000
Irish husbandmen are farmer proprietors,
and they are so because of the labors and
sacrifices of Parnell and Davitt, O'Brien
and Dillon, Biggar and Redmond, who
followed In the track of the pioneers for
Irish liberty.
"Today there are other Irish patriots,
tho brothers and friends of Ireland's del
egates to the convention, wearing tho
convict's clothes and performing hard
labor In Irish Jails because they have
dared to tell the English Prime Minister
that his rule In Ireland Is founded upon in
vasion, usurpation, confiscation and the
breach of treaties which even savage vir
tue would Kaye -respected, but which
English greed and Jealousy systematically
violated.
"The Anglo-Normans, at the close of the
12th century, introduced their foul feu
dal system into Ireland. Before they
came the Irish lands were the property
of all the people and were held In trust
by monarch, prince and chief. But tho
invaders did notj&espect the laws which
governed ancient Ireland and which were,
in the main, models of wisdom and jus
tice. On the contrary, they overrode tUcm
from tho first, and after vanquishing
fathers and brothers in the field or by
traitor methods they married the daugh
ters by force and' laid claim to the lands
which were the common property of all
the Irish people and not of a favored and
privileged few. 'r
"Ireland did not tamely submit to this
new and violent condition of affairs, but
as history tells has fought long and per
sistently for liberty. The Anglo-Norman
feudal system was paramount in Ireland
until Parnell, supported by the Lanu
League of which the United Irish League
is the lineal successor, made a breacn
in Its brazen shield. Catholics and TXfxtz
estantB alike were persecuted ana tne
outrages forced them to emigrate to the
American colonies, where they took their
part in the war for 'independence. Since
January 1, 1S01, Ireland has .been, to all
Intents and purposes, an English pnpv
Ince. The union act wined out, as far as
parchment and seal could do It, her dis
tinctive nationality, but the hearts and
hands of the bulk of the Irish people havo
been and are Inflamed and raised against
the provincial condition. They have not
accepted the brand of social and political
Inferiority.
"English rule stands self-condemned by
the official reports of Its own servants,
which show that Ireland has today a
smaller population th'an she had In 1801,
and that within the last 60 years 1,250,000
of her people starved to death; more than
2,000,000 were evicted from their holdings
and 4,000,000 at least sought refuge from
British tyranny In this and other free
countries. A government, whether native
or foreign, that could and can find no
remedy for this wholesale destruction of
an ancient and highly endowed people has
no right to exist. It has sinned against
the beneflaence of God and tho Inherent
rights of mankind.
"Under more favorable conditions the
-Irish people would bo entirely Justified in
resorting to arms to end this huge ini
quity. Right and Justice are on their side
and present opportunity alone Is want
ing. With a powerful ally to furnish her
with the nucleus of an army and with
the munitions of war, Ireland, by puttfng
every able-bodied man in the field, could
win her Independence, "out without such
an ally nothing short of a miracle could
render her victorious. The men upon
Irish ground are the men to decide tho
policy of their country.. So long as they
keep the green flag flying and make no
compromise of their right to be free and
independent their American kinsmen
are and will be their allies and auxilia
ries.
"Ireland .must fight England with such
weapons as she has ready. She must not
submit to be extinguished while waiting
an opportunity to stride. She is threat
ened with one great and pressing danger
extinction by emigration. As her man
ufactures, except In the line of linen and
a few other staples,' are lmost destroyed
Dy jiaigusn competition, wnicn nas everj
advantage that wealth, plant and skill
can give, her young people are in a great
measure cut off from skilled labor pur
suits, and agriculture is the only other
alternative of employment. The b.est
lands of Ireland are held by alien and ab
sentee landlords. Tho worst are occu
pied by the tillers of the soil.. Between
these two classes there is an Irrepressi
ble conflict.
"The Irish landlords are offered a settle
ment tantamount to 40 years' rental for
the lands they hold in general by the law
of conquest or the process of confiscation
These lands belong by hereditary right to
the Irish people. But the Irish people
do not ask for a new confiscation, but for
condemnation and purchase by loan on
terms of easy repayment. When, Instead
of 60.000 600,000 heads of Irish tenant faml
lies become proprietors, a tourniquet will
have been applied to tho bleeding arteries
of Ireland. The young people, the pride
and flower of their country, will remain
at home and, beneath the genial skles-of
their native land, make her fertile soil
blossom as a rose. And with prosperity
will come liberty. Its "handmaiden.
"England herself must be growing tired
of the cruel Irish landlords whom she up
holds by her Sheriffs and her soldiers
Balfour and Wyndham are making a last
effort In behalf of their clients, the land
lords. They have dug up the gaunt and
ghastly remains of old Edward I, the
hammer of tho Scotch, and with this
rusty, rotten old hammer they are at
tempting to put down the United Irish
League. They have hammered a dozen
Irish members of Parliament ,and about
SQ0 local leaders into Jail.
"The meeting today." paid President
FInerty, "Is to express the sentiments
of the Irish on the Irish question and to
welcomo Ireland's chief and his fellow
delegates. A year has not elapsed since
the United Irish League of America was
temporarily organized. In spite of sense
less opposition in some quarters and un
manly apathy in others it has increased
and multiplied throughout the American
continent and has furnished the true men
In England with a respectable amount of
the smews of war to carry cn in a manly
manner the noble struggle for land and
prosperity. The Prctestarts of the Norm

that trades unjons' excess In violence .to

Don't Jump Off Cars.
Osteopathic Health.
Jumping off moving trains and street
cars, as practiced today, is a fruitful
source of nervous disorders, and not one
fully recognized for its importance by any
school except osteopaths. Yet the facts
are easily comprehended. Certain It is
that nervousness in all its protean forms,
from irritability, neurasthenia and gen
eral nervous collapse to paralysis, is so
caused, and that the careless habit of
many people of bowling off moving cars
stiff-legged lays the foundation for these
disorders every hour of the day.
In leading the strenuous life of our cities
men and women seem unable to wait to
get to their journey's end. Before trains
come to hair a stop at crossings unu piri
forms fidgety pedestrians with muscles
tense arop from car platforms and almost
before their bodies have recovered from
the forward momentum are stalking a mao
footrace against time in the opposite di
rection. This enterprise saves 10 seconds,
of course, for that particular errand; but
possibly it hastens by many months one's
journey to the grave. Positive Injury Is
thereby done to the spine and nervous sys
tem, which must gather in cumulative ef
fect until one day the wJiole nervous or
ganism may go to pieces. More slips of
the vertebrae from their true positions
one upon the other, and the strains
brought to bear In consequence upon the
ligaments and muscles binding them to
gether, are what first occur from these
sudden Innumerable poundings of hard
heels against adamant pavements. These
seemingly trivial mishaps to the body are
CATARRH, D
AND
Cured to Stay Cured
Catarrh
This disease affects all the mucous mem
branes, which form the skin within the
body and lino the nose, the throat, the
Eustachian tubes, thebronchlal tubes, the
lungs and are connected continuously
with the lining of all the organs of the '
body. Cntnrrli usually begins with cold
la the head. The discharge creeps up the
nose, causing distress In the heady and
throat, and then Inflames the little air
tubes leading to the middle ear. ' S
If you have Catarrh, cure it before it !
attacks these little tubes, because you arc'
In great danger of
Deafness
Or at least impaired hearing. It Is
Catarrh eating its way into th,e car that
first blocks up the tubes, causing buzzing
and roaring noises, and when the dis
charge cannot escape you become deaf.
93 per cent of all Impaired Hearing Is
due to Catarrh. Cure your Catarrh and
you escape the blighting affliction of
Deafness. ,
Bronchial and
Lung Diseases
"Neglect your Cntnrah and it poisons
the air you inhale Into your lungs. Your
bronchial tubes first get sore. They ulce
rate, an.d that racking cugh raises a
rotten discharge. If this doesn't alarm
you enough to get your Catarrh cured I
It won't be long until the disease has,
stolen along from the bronchial tubes
into the lungs. Then It begins- to feed
on the lung cells until it forms- ulcers
and cavities and you have
Consumption
Check your Catarrh before It reaches
the lungs, and cure It, and you are In no
danger of this disease, so fatal in this
climate. Cure It before you have swal
lowed so much of the prisonous discharge
Into the stomach, where It Invariably
sets up tho so-called.
Dyspepsia
Which is only a symptom of Catarrh of
the Stomnch, and leads to much other
suffering, often fatal. In the bowels, liver
and kidneys. Cure the Catarrh In your
nose and throat and you will seldom
Tiave any stomach or bowel troubles.
An Indisputable Fact
Doctors Copeland and Montgomery
treat and cure more cases of deafness,
bronchitis, asthma, lung and stomach
troubles than any other living physicians.
They are the only doctors who cure to
stay cured, as thousands have voluntar
ily testified In these columns.

complaint, to cut out this slip, mark the

The Effect of ihe Foresters'
on Posterity.
Labors
Success.
The forester, while not ignoring the de
mands of his own pocketbook. works
for the remotest posterity. When he
clears a .tract of the wilderness of Its
century-old timber he sows the seed for
a new" forest, although the new crop will
not mature for another century- Ho
seeks even by the scientific direction of
nature's work to leave for posterity a
better forest than he found. Surely, then,
forestry Is not an ar to be practiced by
an individual. The simple lumbering of
our forefathers, making the most profit
for today and Ignoring tho morrow, is
more attractive. Since tho forester cur
tails his profits by making provision for
posterity, forestry can only be practiced
by the state or by great Investment cor
porations, operating on so large a scale
that the distant f itture must enter into
the calculations of this generation.
Strictly economic considerations de
mand, that tho state prevent the despoil
ing of our American forests by lumber
men and pulpmakers. The yearly lum
ber harvest in this country now amounts
to more than 40.000,000,000 feet. Great
tracts of virgin forest land have been de
vastated and no provision made for the
future. The Increasing demand for dally
newspapers and many editions of them
is having a marked effect on forests close
to the centers of densest population. A
single New York newspaper consumes
140 tons of paper every day, or 100.000,000
pounds a year. Every day In the year 30
acres of timber must be cut to feed the
presses of this single newspaper. This is
an exceptionally large consumption of
wood pulp the largest in the world but
other newspapers approach this con
sumption, and the yearly cut of pulp
makers is rapidly increasing. In conse
quence, the available supplies of spruce
nre diminishing in the United States, and
the pulpmakers are moving northward j
into the Canadian forests for their raw
material.
By the creation of great forests and
reservations by the National and state
governments, like the 3,000.000-acre pre
serve in the Adirondacks and the pro
posed Appalachian preserve, the state in
tends to eet certain barriers to stay the
progress of the lumbermen and pulpmak
ers. But professional foresters point out
that the best interests' of the Nation are
not being conserved by the present policy
of forbidding the cutting of trees on
state lands. Alarmed by the denuding
of American forest lands, the idea has
gained ground that it Is a crime to cut '
down a tree. "Woodmen, spare that
tree!" is the cry. But It Is as Idle to
forbid the harvesting of wood crops when
they reach maturity as It would be to
forbid a farmer to reap his grain. Man
must have food from the fields and wood
from the forests. As well stop the min
ing of Iron ore as set barriers against j
lumbermen. Timber must be had. and i
millions of trees must be felled every J
year. What is demanded Is not prohibi- (
tivo legislation. f but scientific sylvicul
ture, so that new wood crops may be
raised to provide for future demands. t

nobody but those who put it there knew
of its existence. This knowledge was not
confined to them, as the remonstrance
against it of Mr. Vest, of Missouri, in the
Senate shows. But we have a strong Im
pression that this debate was never re
ported outside the columns of the Con
gressional Record. What Mr. Moody
meant was that it was not generally
known to the people of the nation that
there was any duty on anthracite coal In
the bill, and. Indeed, the act Is so worded
as to prevent its being evident to the gen
eral public that it is there. That was
cortainly the effect in this quarter. It will
be remembered' that when It was first
stated, after the coal scarcity began to
be serious, that there was a duty on an
thracite coal. It was at once denied in tha
high tariff press.
