A Tariff for II svenae Only


The Democratic party, In their ago
ny In view Of the defeat that awaits
them at the polls, are making terri
BILE outcry because the Republicans
are pressing the tariff issue, IS q vital
part Of the campaign. It Is, no doubt,
q grisvous piece Of presumption on the
part Of the Republicans, to make their
own plan Of . campaign, instead Of
taking from the Democracy such .
plan as they would have been delighted
to furnish, ready made, without charge.
But we are still alta loss to compre-
bend why the Democracy should and
fault with us for taking them At their
word. Do they mean to say that they
are not in favor Of "tarif for revenue
onlyG" ESQ, why does their platform
say sol Do they propose to confess
that their platform means nothing 7
Ifso, why d. they ask intelligent men
for their votesf But the truth is, the
people do not intend to trust them.
They either mean what they say, or
they confess to an attempt to obtain
votes en- false pretenoes. They say,
they are in favor Of "a tariff for rsvs-
nue. only" The republicans and many
Democrats, who are interested In tar
itf for prots ,tion, are proceeding on the
assumption that they mean what they
say-that is all.

A Cnmpaign Of FRAUD.

The campaign in Wilmington was
commenced by the Democrats in fraud,
Il has been conducted all along in fraud
and It will end in fraud. The drst was
by their two assessors who refused TO
assess the honest voters. The next act
was By the same assessors assessing be-
tween four hundred and five hundred
fraudulent voters. A truculent Levy
Court took the matter in hand and re-.
fused to strike the fraudulently assess
ed names from the assessment though
their own attorney decided that they
should do so. The same Court also not
only put every possible impairment in
the way Of securing full and honest
assessment of honest voters whom tbs as
SCISSORS had refused TO assess, but they
appointed such men - Pat Gardner,
I'd. Mccall, B. c. knight, Constable
Hickman and Bailif Daley TO hold the
Inspectors elections. The ballot box
stating and false counting which ersusd
has astOnished decent and respectable
people of all parties, and some who we're
Democrats are Democrats no more on
that account. Through the perfdy of
these men the Democrats to-day have
three stolen inspsCtors.who were never
elected honestly. The efforts Of the
leaders Of the Democracy to defeat be-
fore the Courts, the attempt to have
Justice dens to the Ninth Ward, Is but
farther evidence that their campaign Of
fraud 10 TO be continued. 1t is too late
for the Democrats to facs about now
and pursue any other course. There is
NO way by which these audaeious frauds
can be defeated and the authors Of them
taught q wholesome lesson, than for
every honest voter, Democrat and Rs
publican, to put their seal Of conde NINA
ton upon 1t at the ballot box on Tues
day, the second of November.

A word TO the COIOred Voters

There Is reason TO believe that the
Democracy are making special prepa-
rations to intimiiate the colorsd voters
in this State on election day. We
hardly believe they will dare to at
tempt carrying out their plans In this
city, but they may. Under the cir
cumstances we wish 10 caution the ne.
groes TO be cool, calm and discreet. Do
mot get excited nor be alarmed. You
have rights under the law, and W

the right to vote, provided y'.u are
qualified under it, and the f.1suds of
Justice will see that you do. vote. Be-
careful not TO interfere 18th the rigLts
Of others and, above all, not to be the
aggrsssors in any tiolence. 1t Ia quite
likely the Dem .scrats will try to goad
or draw you into trouble. Do not per.
init them TO do 80 II it can possibly te
avoided. II you are attacked defend

Der that the good name Of the city and
Of the Republican party is, in som'

II any oolored man wants to vote thu

of the Republican party that every lie

Be sure to vote, every one Of you VIII

R. 3. MoNAHAs, ESQ, 10 as ne said
several times last night At the Opera
House, a lawyer, and because he
would have no legislation to regulate
his business he would have no poll
,ician's hand interchangeable the bust
ness Of the country. He thought Dem
oersts, Republicans and Grsenbaokers,
ought to be satisfied with the present
tariff and let 1t alone. He forgot, how
ever, in . lawyer like manner TO tell
| the audience that the only persons who
attempted TO interfere with the tariff
we're the Democrats. He forgot to tell
them that Fernando Wood, Democrat,
a. Chairman Of the Finance Com nsttss,
tried his level best to have the present
tariff laws abrogated and other Laws
passed more in accordance with free
trade principles, or tariff for revenue
only. He forgot to tell his Wilmington
aud ience that Mr.. Wood was supported
in his efforts to repeal the present tariff
by the solid Southern Democratic vote,
and lad IL moi been for few tariff
Democratic members from Pennsylvania
joining the Republicans on that issue,
the tariff laws would have been repeal
ed long ago. II Mr.. Monaghan thinks
that a Wilmington audience is toe
stupid to understand his lawyer dodge
he is very much mistaken. Mr.. Mona
CHAN was not q success in Wilmington,
and his speech on the tariff was about
as thin 40 his audience was before he
closed.

4 Strange Story.

In 1913 chestnut tree, quite 800
years old, was blown down ON the banks
of a little creek near the church called
South Carolina within a mile Of the
village of Yorktown, in Pickens County,
Ala, and about seventeen miles south
east of Columbus, Miss. Beneath the
roots of the chestnut tree we're found a
a pair of brass scales for weighing, with
the brass weights having Spanish in
scriptiOns and numerals on them. Two
three-pOund cannon shot were found
With the scales. The soil beneath the
tree was very dry, drained as it was by
the little stream hard by, and these
relics by the Spanish adventures were
we'll preserved. But it does not follow
because these portable articles were
found at the spot that De Soto visited
it. He had little use for scales, and
may have left them at some distant
place of encampment. or lost them in
some battle, and curious red man,
assigning little value to the treasure
trOve," leftit when he drank on the banks
of the stream. Indians had no wagons
or wagon ways, and yet when Eastern
Mississippi was first settled by the white
people in 1880, and while the Choc taws
still owned and occupied the country,
there was broad deep wagon road fol,
lowing the course of the river some dis
lance and deeply cut in tine hilisides and
into the rivers banks. 1t crossed the
river at the mounds, ten or twelve miles
below Columbus, on Buffers plantation,
of which have spoken. The Choctaws
said that this road was carved out by
white men, who marched across the
country, fighting and killing, long be-
fore their recollection. If this be the
tradition, as heard it stated long ago,
there can be little doubt that De Soto
made the road and crossed Tombigbee
at the place indicated by the Spanish
scales and weights, and the old high
way was certainly made by no race of
modern Indians. But if this be true, it
does not follow that De Soto spent the
winter preceding this passage of the
Mississippi in the vicinity of Columbus
or at Tupelo.

Bitter Drops i'm the Sweetest Cup.

l'hlCiEp LINES Lcltti.
Alfonso has been here four years,
and is learning the bitter lesson that
comes of the vain ambition and pride of
kings. As he stood in the regal hall of
the Ambassadors the other night he
wore troubled look in the very height
of the feast. His mother, gorgeous As a
Snitana in laces and Jewels worth an i'm
perial ransom, brought a French jour
nalist to present. The journalist was a
member of the Figaro staff, and the con-
versatiOn smacked more of politician
anxious to retain his place than young
bridegroom in the soft delight of the
honeymoon. He set out by avowing his
admiration for the Figaro. which, he
declared. al read every day" He
admitted that he felt some of the en-
nuies of life. This pageantry, for ex
ample" he declared. ais tedious to me.

court life bore him. His taste is all for
warlike practice. He never, he said,
had enjoyed life so thoroughly rs when
in the saddle at the head of his armies
in Northern Spain putting down the
Carlists. That was the sort OF lie he
loves. "They accuse me-" he added,
"Of loving Ostentation. pleasure and
pride. Not at all. Saturday, for ex-
