Repeal the navigation laws pass ed when Washington was Presi dent and thus allow foreign-built vessels with coolies as seaman, to sail under the American flag is the free trade method of building up "American shipping," says Phila delohia Press. That was the method advocated when it was first proposed to establish manufactur ing industries in this country. The free traders declared that if the foreigners could do the work cheaper than it could be done in the United States that we should let them do it. Had that advice been followed this country would now be devoted to agriculture almost exclusively, and manufucturing products would come from Europe. The United States would, to a large degree, be on a par with South American countries devoted to agriculture. The great development of the United States, unparalleled in the history of the world, could not have taken place. But the un sound free trade advice was not heeded, and the United States is to day the greatest both in manu facturing and in agriculture of any nation in the world. And it is yet far from the limit. The future ad vancement in manufacturing will far excel anything now known and will furnish employment to a popu lation that will need all the wheat and other agricultural products raised in tin; United States. The advantage of the protective feature has been demonstrated in our coastwise shipping, which far exceeds that of any other nation, and increases rapidly. That is be cause foreign competition is now allowed in the coastwise trade. But in the foreign trade American ship ping is on a free trade basis. It has to meet without any aid and under many disadvantages, such as higher wages and better food, the competition of vessels from all other countries. It has necessarily declined enormously, while the protected coastwise shipping has in creased at a tremendous pace. Re peal the navigation laws and the foreign shipping would quickly take possession of the coastwise trade, as it now has possession of the foreign trade. There is no dispute as to these facts. By reducing wages and every thing else so as to compete with foreign vessels the United States might hold its own. Rut the peo ple of this country do not want and will not have that disgraceful con dition of tilings. In time a way will be found to protect American shipping in the foreign trade, and when that is done that industry will prosper in the same way as the coastwise shipping now prospers. RESCUED A PRISONER. Sheriff Prevented a Lynching at Coxsackie, N. Y. SMUGGLED PRISONER TO BOAT Took Negro, Charged With Aasault on a Little Girl, from the Flimsy Local Lockup to Jail at CaUkill —Enraged Farmers Vowing Vengeance Foi Beastly Assault. Albany, July 15.—The quick wit ol a deputy sheriff at Coxsar-kle prevent ed the lynching of James Little, a 19 year-old negro hailing from Summer hurst, N. J., who early yesterday morn ing, near New Baltimore, criminally assaulted Emnra Cole, aged 11, daugh tor of Joseph Colo, a farmer living one ruile back of New Baltimore. The child, with her 5-year-old sistei and Maud Lobdell, aged 12, was pick ing berries by the roadside in the long woods between New Baltimore and Coxsackie, a mile from home, when Little accosted them, asking them for something to eat. The Lobdell girl went to her home, but her mother was not there, and re turning to her companions she found the negro dragging Emma Cole into the woods. She ran to her aid and the negro pulled out a handfull of her hair. She then ran away with the lit tle Cole girl, screaming for help, while Little dragged his victim into the woods and assaulted her, then escap ing after threatening her with death If she moved. Her father and neighbors met the child coming home, and at once or ganized a party to scour the woods. A description of the negro was sent to nearby towns, and an hour later ho was captured on the railroad track, noar Coxsackie, by Roy Cutler. He confessed the assault and was locked up. In the meanwhile news of the cap ture reached New Baltimore, and a mob of 150 enraged farmers started for Coxsackie, augmented by a large number of striking Coxsackie mould ers and river men, all frankly avowing their intention to lynch the negro. It was the strikers' "benefit day"in Coxsackie and the town was crowded. Threats of lynching filled the air, and every train augmented the crowd. Deputy Sheriff Scanner Vanloon, re alizing that the coming of darkness would mean the breaking of the flim sy local lockup and the violent death of his prisoner, smuggled the negro out and took him down the river on the l>oat to Catskill, where there is a well-built Jail. The Cole child is seriously injured, but may recover. Her father and the neighboring farmers arc in a terrible state of excitement, and but for the deputy's quick action would certainly have lynched the negro. There is probability of trouble when the negro is taken to New Baltimore for examination. Precautions are be ing taken to protect the prisoner, but New Baltimore is In a very ugly tem per. MOB PERSUADED TO LEAVE. Senator Foster of Louisiana Helps t* Save a Negro From Being Lynched. New Orleans, July 15. —After uiuc& persuasion from United States £>eu ator Foster, Circuit Judge Allen, Dis trict Judge Smith and Sheriff Sanders the mob which went to the St. Mary's parish ja.il to lynch Ksau Lovely, alias Possum, a negro confined there, dis persed and agreed to let the law take its course if the negro was tried promptly. Lovely is an ex-convict and is re garded as dangerous. On Sunday he attacked Mrs. Rene Hebert, while she was driving to church and robbed .her, leaving her in a serious conditio® from the shock of the attack. Several hundred neighbors of the Heberts went to the jail to lyncli Lovely, but were dispersed by the speeches of Senator Foster and the others. It was announced that a spec ial jury would be impanelled, and, as Lovely had already confessed to the crime and the evidence against him was conclusive, no doubt could be en tertained of the administration of Jus tice. According to agreement, Ijovely was brought to trial before the district court in Franklin. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to the penitentiary for 34 years. Immediately after the sentence he was removed to the parish prison for safety. There was no further demonstration against the prisoner. To Increase Capital Stock.

Soii.-itor Quay was to-day asked if the report of his intended retirement fr im the Sen ate was correct and made this reply:— "I must refer to you my Academy of Music speech at Philadslphia in l'JOl." Taken at its face value this means that Quay intends to retire for in the speech referred to he pointedly declar ed never again would he ask the people of this State to give him office or pre ferment. It is apparent that Senator Quay is anxious not to precipitate a party em brogllo on the Senatorship at this time. He evidently holds that if he should make a final decision at this time it would soon fill the woods with candi dates, put factionalism into politics and poseibly cause a renewal of the old battle along new lines. Among intimate personal friends Quay's declaration is regarded as final Members of his family assert that in March, 1905, he will retire and that nothing can change this. Senator Quay is certainly not retir ing because of ill health. His Maine fishing trip h«s invigorated him to a remarkable degree, He has gained in weight and looks as hearty as a farmer. He expects to spend most of the Sum mer at Beaver- On the night of May 14, 1901, in the Academy of Music, Senator Quay, in part, said:— "My political race is run. It is not to be understood that God's sword is drawn immediately against my life, nor that my seat in the Senate is to be pre maturally vacated, but that with the subscription of my official oath on the 18th of January my politics ceased, ex cept insofar as I may be committed to certain measures pending in the pre sent Legislature. "I will never again be a candidaie for nor accept any political position. I have many friends to remember; I have no enemies to punish. In this re gard I put aside the past." Cnolera Infantum.

'•About six years ago for the first time in my life I had a sudden and severe attack of diarrhoea," says Mrs. Alice Miller, of Morgan, Texas. "I got tern porary relief, but it came back again and again, and for six long years I have suf feied more misery aud agony than I can tell. It was worse than death. My hus band spent hundreds of dollars for phy sicians' prescriptions and treatment with out avail. Finally we moved to Bosque county, our present home, and one day I happened to see an advertisement of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoes Remedy with the testimonial of a man whe had been cured by it. The case was so similar to my own that I conclud ed to try the remedy. The result was wonderful.
