ton of memoers Of the legislature, SO
freely INDUCED in during the past few
months, on last Friday eliminated in
the shooting Of Senator Smith. A
Nashville special to the Avalanche
gives the following particulars;
Immediately after the roll call in
the Senate Speaker Morgan called
Mr.. Mathews to the chair and pro-
ceeded to speak on II question of per-
sonal privilege. Reviewing the agi.
tation over the debt settlement, he
declared that in casting the deciding
vote he acted conscientiously. The
passage of the bill was followed by
charges Of bribery. He concluded by
pronouncing the charges UNANIMOUSLY
and maliciously false, emanating from
the spirit Of the arch hend, and the
author the son of an illustriOus sire.
He said: | denounCe every insinua-
ton, DO matter who from, as false,
sanderous, vlllainOus and infamous.
In view OF the premises and in behalf
Of my family, my wife and children
who are to wear my name, in behalf
of my constituents, III behalf of the
members Of the senate, of the repub'
lican and democratic parties, l de-
mAnd full and thorough investlga-
ton Of the charges against me.
Mr.. Smith, of FentreSs, rose, and
after speaking in similar strain, and
demanding an investigation, said in
conclusion: | understand the man
making the charges against me is in
this house. Here's the man, John j
Nertrees, who comes before the courts

no one can impose on me. l denounce
him as liar, who acted anprotess

try.
Senator Barrett followed to the
same effect.
Mr.. Bell offered resolution that Il
Joint committee Of nine he appointed
TO investigate the charges.
Smith and Morgan passed down to
the Maxwell house together. Smith,
at about 1880 was sitting in the TO-
tunda of the hotel reading "a paper,
when Nertrees and his brother walked
up to him. Vertrees slapped Smith
on the arm, and, placing pistol close
to his shoulder, fired. Smith rose,

Vertrees fired two or three more shots,
but without effect. A large crowd
gathered, and half "A dozen men were

The Aston Episode.

We have in this country class of young
men who, thanks to the industry, frugality,
shrewdness and luck of their fathers, or, in
rare cases, of their grandfathers, begin lie
rs actual or expectant millionaires. 1t is n
bad thing for the young men, and it is not
good thing for the country. Fortunately,
there IRE not very many of them as yet,
but the class is constantly growing.
Naturally, it is growing faster in New York
than anywhere else.
Now the New York newspapers, cspeci-
ally the serious and didaotic ones, have for
years past been exhorting these gilded
youths to go into politics and take their
share of the drudgery and glory of carrying
on this democratic Republic.
Why not' They are American citizens,
after all, in spite of their millions. They
owe a duty to their country as well as
their poor neighbors Their wealth has
given them opportunities for study,
leisure to devote to the public service, and
immunity from sordid worry
and sordid temptation, which their neigh
bors do not enjoy. The solemn metropoli-
tan newspapers are entirely right in saying
IL would be much better for the young men,
healthier and manlicr lifo to read history
and political economy, and get up blue
books, and lend hand ut the work of max
ing laws and running the Government, than
to dwindle away their time between the
club and Delmonico's, the bilhard-room
and tho ballroom, the Yacht cabin and the
polo ground, sham fox'hunting and sham
stage-drving.

The threat of Russian invasion awoke
China from her slumber of three thousand
years duration. Her frontiers were men,
aced by the colossal Empire of the North,
and they were in an utterly defenseless con-
dition, for the majority Of the Chinese
forces were either ON the coast or were quar-
tered along the southern frontiers, Had
the invasion taken place the Russian col
unm would have experienced but little diff
fculty in penetrating far into the interior
Of the Flowery Kingdom, with little danger
OF encountering resistance save from the few
scattered hordes of semi-savage Tartars that
rove over the vast region on the hither side
of the great wall, When the invason
seemed a settled fact, theChinese Court Ia
mented they had no railroad communication
from the capital to the limits of the empire;
but when the spectre" was exercised, and
an accommodation was brought about be-
tween the two powers, the Chinese Govern
ment wisely concluded to build railroads
and telegraphs on an extensive plan. Pre-
parations for carrying this great idea out
are now being made, and soon the snort of
the iron horse will now be heard in all parts
of that vast country, which has hitherto
been so faithful to the traditions of the past.

The reasons given by Judge Ross, ofMont-
gOmery county for refusing to charter two
so,called Marriage Benefit Associations, APP
peal to the best judgment of both lawyers
and laymen. The same opportunity is
offered in these companies as in the mutual
assessment life companies for frauds upon
the better class of risks in which the poll
cies are not likely to mature at once. The
Spectator who takes out a policy on
the eve of his marriage reaps the same re-
ward as the one who gets life policy
just before his Subject shuflles of, and in
both cases the fair risks have to stand the
assessments. The numerous frauds which
these marriage associations encourage are
well set forth by Judge Ross in his decision,
which anticipates most clearly the evils that
are sure to result from an extension of this
system. When such enterprises threaten,
not only actual fraud, but general lower
ing ofmorals in approaching the most inn
portant relation that can be assumed in
life, the arm of the law is well employed in
checking their further growth.-[Philadel-

temporaries wrought conviction in him
or whether he did il Of his motion. We
know not, but William Waldorf Astor went
into politics. After serving in the New
York Assembly and Senate where
he chiefly distinguished himself by his
thiek-and-thin devotion to the cause Of ex-
Senator Conkling, his ambition took a
higher flight, Banker Morton's acceptance
of the Paris mission gave him an opening.
The Murray Hill district of New York city,
the richest district in the United States,
was looking around for new Representa-
hive in Congress. William Waldorf Aston
sought and easily obtained the Republican
nomination, As Banker Morton only a
year before had scored majority of $500
the nomination was supposed to be
practically equivalent to election.
But William Waldorf Astor resolved to
make assurance doubly sure, and to that
end began oneoi the most demoralizing and
discreditable canvasses ever seen in this
country 1t astonished even the New York
newspapers, Hardened reporters watched
his doings with awe From his headquar-

hurrying from gin mill TO beer saloon, and
from gin mill to brewery. How much he

And after all this outlay of money and
time, this toll and humiliation, William
Waldorf Ast0r finds himself soundly beaten
by self-made man, a GARFIELD Democrat,
who, when asked to undertake contest

reply: "Ifyou desire to run me on my

coMBArrINe A FALLAcY.

A feature of the resolutions of the Chicago
Tauif Convention is the declaration that
the Constitution authorizes the protective
tariff system. The Constitution provides
that Congress can levy and collect taxes,
duties, and imposts and excuses for the pur-
pose of paying the debts of the Govern
ment and providing for the general wei
fare'' of the country. The protective tariff
system is by no means constitutional or
American system, for it is a
system of taxation not for the pur-
pose of paying the public obligations and
expenses of the Government; not for the
general welfare-but system devised for
the benefit of certain group of citizens,
and containing not even the germ of equal
and exact justice to all men," A protective
tariff taxes the many unequally for the ben
eft of few individuals. 1t is legislation
for class 1t is inimical to the general
welfare" 1t is opposed to the welfare of
the masses. Its principle has, in fact, been
pronounced unconstitutional by the SUI
preme Court of the United States. The
protective system is always apologizing for
its existence. 1t has no place in Republic.
