WHIsKEY AND TOBACCO.

We are glad that the republicans IN
congress have refused to reduce the
tax on whiskey and tobacco, both OF
which are destructive agents and only
less pernicious to mind and body than
opium. 1t is disgraceful to the boosted
civilization of this people that one OF
its great leading agricultural industries
should be tobacco. 1t not only robs
the country of so much production, IN
land and labor, that might support life
and advance its real prosperity. but it
poisons and destroys the people, de-
moralizing the character, paralyzlng or
impairing nerve and muscle, and in a
few more generations it will begin to
tell on the universal American type.
Look through our cities, any of them,
in any section, but more especially in
the south, and who can tell without a
census whether groceries or tobacco
stores are more numerous. All know
which best thrive, for the tObacConlst
gets rich while the average grocer
barely feeds and clothes his family.
This is disgraceful to both the intelll-
gence and the morals of the American
people. And yet papers of the stand
of the St. Louis Globe Democrat JUS
titles the reduction of taxation on whis-
key and tobacco, and says: THAT de-
gree of taxation is right which brings
in the greatest amount of revenue from
these sources, and the tax on spirits is
too high, because it is above the
best revenue point" AS sepci-
men of heightened and moral
logic this excels. Surprising the
best revenue point of more i'm
portance than the bodies and souls of
the American people, might it not be
reached by a larger reduction of taxes
on commodities that will benefit, or at
least will not destroy them? 1t is
more important than its civil service or
its diplomacy that the American gov.
eminent should squelch the tobacco in.
dustry and the whiskey distilleries, both,
by prohibitory laws.

ATTORNEY GENERAL BRE"slEh W
SOUTH CAROLINA ELEC-
TON FRAUDS.

An earnest letter of Attorney Zen
eral Brewster on the subject of the re-
cent "ferce or fraud" in the South
Carolina elections, will find eager re-
sponses in fair minds. He writes to
the District Attorney at Charleston
who is a democrat. He says ne ex-

those l want prosecuted, and first pur-
sued" We are satisfied, and the
whole letter indicates, that these vlgor-
GUS and earnest sentences of the At
torney General are inspired by patriotic
and not partizan feelings. If prose-
cutting officers everywhere and of all
grades were actuated by these feelings,
and were solicitous only for the purity
of the ballot, without which public lib
ertv is sham, we should feel more
certain that this great country will turn

space for few more of Mr.. Brewster
earnest words:
"There will be no example, if merely
insignificant persons are taken hold OF.
Those who stand high in community
and have thus ventured to violate the
law and encourage others to do it, are
the persons to be first prosecuted, and
if convicted and punished in a signal
way, then things will begin to change
and voters will be encouraged to vote
according to their convictions, and
those who do vote will feel satisfied
that their votes have been duly count.

THURLOW WEED ON MASON.

We agree with Thurlow Weed in
thinking, when the sentance of Ser
geant Mason is considered in connec-
ton with all the facts of his case taken
together, that it ought to "arouse the
American people," We remarked,
when before speaking of it, that every
crime is such soley by reason of the
criminal motive which is supposed to
have inspired it. Mason's motive was
patriotic, and the killing he sought to
do just, it being simply not his privi-
lege to do it. Yet this availed nothing
in mitigation of the sentence passed
upon him by pretended court as law
less as that of Judge Lynch. Mason's
is indeed not case for pardon. We
presume it is not the presidents prlvi-
lege to pardon in the absence of le-
gal conviction for crime. Mason has
not been found guilty of any crime but
by military gang of self-constituted
judges, alike incompetent in a legal and
literal sense, and the act is an outrage
and a disgrace to the army. Mason
should be released upon habeas cor
pus by a competent court. TO pardon
him will be adding insult to injury.
Mr.. Weed sent $40 to the Mason
relief fund and in his accompanying
letter expressed the sentiments of the
people in the following .objurgations :
Il have never before known either
a civil or military tribunal incapable Of
discriminating between an offense
prompted by right feelings and impul-
sively committed, and a crime DELHI.

The tribunal which found Sergeant
Mason guilty should, after sentence

The Sixty and Six Bill is FOrclbIe Set.
tlement-It iscriminates I'm Favor
of Certain Bonds.
Columbia Democrat.

Our boiler friends are loud and long in
their praise and eulogy of the sixty three
four-fve-apd-six act, and they are denuncia-
tory of all others who are opposed to that
act, or favor another of \ different settle
ment. Now let us look at that act little
and see the fallacy and Inconsistency of their
position. In the first place, they do not
claim that over 100000 or 100000 of
bondholders ever agreed to accept that set
Element, leaving 100000 or 23,000,00
who have given no expression as to their
actioh-unconsulted and unheard from.
Now, remember that they are charging
every settlement must come from
is reputation and dishonorable, and
that you are bound in good faith and
justice to accept his proposition. But they do
not propose that those bondholders who have
given no expression of assent to said PROPOSE
ton shall be controlled and bound by those
so said to have asaented. In other words,
about one-fourth of the bondholders to con-
troll the other three-fourths. Well, that is
not as presumptuous and dictatorial as they
are trying to do with the Democratic party.
About one-tenth of that party are trying to
control and dictate the policy OF the other
nine-tenths.
But let us look further at that act. 1t pro-
vides that upon all bonds not presented for
funding on the LIST of January, 1888, no in
terest shall be paid on such bonds, thereby
forcing the bondholders to either accept the
provisions of that act or have their claims
repudiated and forever barred, for 50 long
as said act remains upon the statute book, no
interest can ever be paid unless the bond
holders have first accepted the provisions of
said act. But our bolter friends cry out with
holy horror and righteous indignation at
what they term forcible adjustment of the
debt. How much more force could be used
than to say to the bondholders, / know that
about three-fourths of you have not agreed
10 takerhe proposition of sixty three-four-
6ve-and-six, and have said nothing on the
subject, still we will fix ii 80 you will be bound
to accept, or you shall never get anything aad
forfeit your debt. So we will just put it in the
funding act, that all of you other sondhold-
ers-including the blind girl in Lawrence
county-shaH never be paid . cent until you
accept its provisions. The boilers further
make a great hue aud cry because they say
the Democratic platform makes distinction
in some of its bonds. Now see their incon-
sistency. The sixty three-four-fve-and-six
act upon Its face provides that all the bonds
held in Tennessee by charitable and educa.
tional institutions, at a certain date, shall be
paid in full, thereby discriminating in favor

without disgrace. Thus far the Low
tax Republicans have displayed an
unexpected quantity and quality of back
bone. While the bruises which they received
under the seat of their breeches when kicked
from the convention to which they were the
rightful delegates were black and blue they
announced that they had burnt the bridges
behind them. If they surrender to the Fed
eral ring now after wrongs 20 grievous and
insults 30 gross they will show to the world
that their courage is like that OF flock OF
sheep which, finding further resistance use
less and unavailiDg, PROSTATE themselves in
the dust and offer their throsts to the hun
CRY wolves. The Independent Republicans
of Pennsylvania discovered the duplicity of
the mschine bosses, rejected all their over
lures, and from this time 10 the day OF
election the order will ring out along the
line: Forward death to the machine or
victory to honest Democrats The Low-tax
Republicans in their negotiations with
Hawkins to-day and tomorrow will
see that every compromise proposed
will lead to The continued rule of the
Federal ring, just as all roads lead TO Rome.
This contest ia indispensable. If the colored
Republicans who are weary of the despotic
rule of their new masters, and have struck
for freedom, from the further dictatiou of
the Federal ring, surrender in this contest, all
that they will have to do in future elections
is to wait with sealed lips until they receive
orders from their oyerseers as to how they
should exercise the prerogatiye of freemen.
The Low-tax Republicans have everything
to lose and nothing to gain by the proposed
parley, for they will have to play with the
loaded dice of the Federal ring.

TIE ONLY DANGEx.

The canvass has been a quiet one. 1t is
true there have been numerous gatherings of
the people and many speeches made. But
there has not been much enthusiasm, be-
cause the Democrats have been over-sanguine
and the Republicans have no hope Of success
on account of their divisions. This is the
greatest source of danger. The Importance
OF this contest extends beyond the mere cleo
tion of good men to Office on Thursday. The
result will have an important bearing on the
election for United States senator and the
election of member to the House of Repre-
senlatives from this district. Every friend
of Senator Harris should work on Thursday,
for with the election of Radical sheriff and
other county officials Shelby county would
be permanently in the hands of the Republi-
cans, as they understand the art of per-
petuating their power when they once get in
Office. Our candidates are men of blam eless
character, eminent ability, and they fifty
represent the intelligence, the wealth. the
industry and good citizenship of the county,
and they can only be elected by a turnout OF
good citizens on Thursday.

coNeEpExATE HATERs.

There is in the North yet quite a large
coterie Of what may be termed Southern or
Confederate haters. The members of this
coterie hold it a religious principle to refuse
to the South and TO the Confederate any
credit whatsoever, and never fail when an
opportunity offers to depreciate and SANDER
everything Southern. This association or
society OF Confederate haters have their
sfiliators also among US. These afiliates
are either those who have come here imbued
with this hatred, and have not, despite every
kindness or courtesy shown them, souls large
enough to rid themselves of this turbulence.
They have some encouragement from con-
temptible class of our own people who were
skulkers during the days of peril and suffer
ing for the South. To claim for the South
or the Confederate the dignity that belongs
to cause sincerely and gallantly upheld-to
refer 10 the contest on the part of the South
as one where men, recording TO their con-
duct, either made or lost reputation-excites
in these venemous creatures rabies as
binding with rancor as rattlesnake in Au-
gust or hydrephoed dog. The New York
Tribune is the leading journal of this
malignan. set. OF course it has scattered
throughout the land, feeble imitators-bear-
ing, however, to it no equality except in
malice. A midget can hate as hard as an
elephant. The editor of that paper was
compelled TO refer in late number 10 the
gross scenes of billingsgate enacted in the
Senate and House of Representatives since
these bodies had passed from under the in
huence of the South. In very appropriate
terms, and with just indignation he de-
nounced the coarse manners now prevalent
in the national legislature as disgrace 10
cur country. Instead, however, of magnan-
imously giving the old Southern spirit credit
for fostering in the Federal Congress dig |
nifty of bearing that made it at that day the |
model parliament of the world, this South |
hater, with a greater coarseness than that he |
was rebuking, spoke of those days as the |
time of the Southern swashbuckler with |
his pistol" Now, if the "swashbuckler |
With his pistol' from the South knew how
% keep the Federal Congress in order and
make it respectable body, which the T.ib-
the admits it is not now, would it not be bet |
er to turn loose this "swashbuckler |
With his pistop again, to improve the
morals and manners of Congress? If the
Tribune and its imitators would reflect a
while on the proposition whether the habit
ndulged in by such journals, of indiscrim-
nate and coarse abuse of the South, has or
lot taught that very coarseness to Northern
of which il now complains as
l dishonor to the republic, we might per-
,aps have a reform. At home is the best
place to start a reform. This advice we give
Whitelaw Reid without fee or reward.
