The GREAT TARIFF BILL,

After having undergone a pretty thor .
ongh discussion und fair trial of all
amendments proposed or suggest to it.
finally passed the House of Representa-.
iiyes on Saturday evening by a majority
offolr votes. A tight fit, truly! But then
Il must be re ncmbered, that no tariff Of
duties can ever pass the House Of K pre-
senlutyes except by a close vote. Tncr,
are so many ard such diT,re,t re lsons
which inf uenCc men TO vote against J.
10 many cases not so much with the iuten
ton Of defeating tie bill as for Tn
purpose Of making their individual dis,
tent at particular provisions ofit, that tie
majority in its favor viii always be dimj
uutive in It's proportion. Instead OF fur
however the majority, would, we belle G
nave been ten or even twelty times as
many, if all who believe llat the bill ough
10 pass hal voted in lavo; oft.
Upon the final vote the House was IA
usually full. All the ab,ene IS (exccp
perhaps Mr. Wse) are believed 10 hav,
been absent from neceSsity-H all hat
been present, and the Speaker had also
voted, the majority would have beer
about the same. But to save the bill an
ensure its passage, there is no doubt Ihl
had it been even projected on its first ira
tint vote would haze been reconsdercd
and the bill passed by sufficient majorit,
Of votes.
OF the character ofthe bill the reade
will be able to obtain a pretty good ide
ny a close observation oflhe fate of the
amendments proposed to it. Some i'm

CoIu mbus Miss. July Goth, 1912.

The editor of the New York Tribune
the most iudicious and best informed po-
tIciar,we have some times thought, in the
whole coprs editorial Of the United States
gives the following in his last paper.
THE NEXT Pr EsIDENT-Heary Clay
his now been formally nominated for
next President by the Wing State conyen
lions of Maine, Delaware, Norlh Carllna,
and Georgia,and by large meetings,o the
people in New York Ohio, LOuisana,& &c
These nominations, it will be observed,
have been spontaneous, and entirely IN.
animous. No other candidate was even
uamed in any Instance-no other thought
of. No otber has been propo sell in any
State; and there is not now single Wing
paper in any State but Pennsylvania, and
possible one in OHIO, speaks of any man
| but Henry Clay as its first second or
third choice. Ia Pennsylvania few jour
| nails held up the name Of Geo. SEQ /; but
/ y Is most evident that Mr.. Clay is the
first choice of a majority. The great ma
iority of those who prefer another to Mt.
| Cav cannot take the vote Of the State
an apprehension that the c"entS OF every
,asslng huor are disrelliug. All e in
locations Of public sentiment justify the
assurance that Mr.. Clay is already sub
.tanrialIy nominated as their candidate for
President by ninety nine of every hun.
bred Wings throughout the Union.
"Such beng the notorious fact, it seems
20 us that the idea of holding a national
onven,ion 10 nominate, is mistaken
and preposterons. Such convention
as things are. could do nothing but dc.
clare what every one already knows.
"And VIC are sue that nothing exclu
sive nothing dictatorial will be done OF
suffered by Mr.. Clay's friends. If a fair
" called convention Of the Wing State;
of the Union shall declare a preference
for any other candidate, then we shall hole
it the policy aud duty ofthe vast majority
/, to unite in national convention. Unit
: that time however which We are con6den
will not come we shall consider the mat
ter substantially settled by the spontan
eons and almost unanimous voice of tn
Wing party from Mars hill to the Sabine
: and shall act upon that conviction.
Such being the condition of the Wings
9 united enthusiastic and burning TO pnnis
- and effect the men here by which the
- have been drfrauded Of that victory S
nobly won-what is the position of the
adverssries"

were like the drone of a bag pipe. then
they resembled the cumming of a bee in
small and confined room, and finally. as
they were losing themselves in air, fioated
off the like wild strains of the Eolan

To promote the greatest amount of I'm

those in tile more advanced studies, and $50
for such as attend merely to reading, writing

As the number of pupils is limited, early
