AS TO THE SPEAKERsHIP

From present appearances, the contest for
the Speakership is, practically, between Mr..
Carlisle, of Kentucky, and Mr.. Randall, of
pennsylvania. The question for the mo-
ment, therefore, is whether the South will
best consult her real interests by support.
ing either of the aspirants first mentioned.
Mr. Carlisle is Southern man, represent
ing great and powerful Southern State,
and this fact might seem to give HIM a Ger.
tain claim upon cur preference. This ap-
pearance, however, will not bear investiga-
ton. The claim conferred upon Mr. Car
Isle by the circumstance of his being a
Kentuckian is a sentimental one at best,
and, in Il case like this, there is no place for
sentiment. There is only one issue before
the country just now, and that is not sec
tional in any Of its ramifcatons. Mr.. Car
Isle and Mr.. Randall represent different
and conflicting aspects of this issue, and the
South has but one duty--to support the
one who represents the view and advocates
the policy most favorable TO her interests.
The old South with its passions and its pre-.
JUDGES, its grievances and regrets, is dead.
The new South, with its harvests waving
over the battle fields is turning her clear
and hopeful eyes to schemes OF progress
and expansion. Under her changed CON
dition, and thrilling with her noble pur-
pose, she has no time TO look backward, no
inclination to seek for guides and motives
among the ashes of the mournful memories
she has put behind her.
There is no reason why, in this matter,
Mr.. Randall should not serve us well as Mr..
Carlisle Mr.. Carlisle's Troublesome of
them at least-declare that he is not free
trade advocate, but the fact remains that
hiscandidacy is ardenty promoted by every
free trader in Congress and in the country.
MIR. Carlisle himself has said nothing, ex.
cept that he lie in favor of revising the tariff,
but all of his adherents favor the revision
also, and the most conspicuous of them do
not hesitate TO admit that the object is 10
do away with protection
Mr.. Randall, on the other hand, while he
considers revision Of the tariff advisable
makes a point Of defining very explicitly
the plan upon which that revision should
he pursued. He makes distinct avowal of
adherence 10 the policy Of fostering home
industries; of so framing the tariff as TO
protect American enterprises while proyid.
ing the revenue necessary for the conduct
of the government Is this question, then.
between Messrs. Carlisle and Randall an
open question at ally
If Dir. Randall favors discriminating
iariff-a tariff so adjusted as to strengthen
and promote the industrial growth OF the
South, he is unquestionably the South's
candidate for the Speakership, as against
any one whose views are different or even
underlined.

J WHAT CONGREsS WIZ DO.


1t is scarcely probable that Congress will
indulge the country with any exciting leg
islation. Both parties are inclined to be
calm and observsnt. Each will feel its way
TO SEINE popular issues and strive to make a
record upon which it can go before the peo-
pie. That there will be any radical propo.
sitions from either side we do not believe
The question of the currency will be let Sc
verely alone. Although there is move
ment to authorize the coinage Of subsidiary
silver in place Of the dollar, and to retire
the small denominations Of paper currency,
Congress may be safely relied upon not to
touch 1t. There may be, it is true, an effort
to modify some OF the most Objectionable
features Of the tariff, but it will be only an
effort, and there are hundred chances to
one that there will be nothing done about
it. The American politician, whether DEM
ocratic or Republican, is extremely averse
to taking any desperate chances, and any
legislation upon any Of the leading issues
before the country is reasonably certain to
burn the fingers of the party which invokes
it.
Outside of the contest for the Speakership
the coming session will be very tame and
inconclusive body. 1t will prefer to wait
and see. We do not believe that the result
of the Speakership will have any influence
in determining the tariff issues any more
certainly than they are settled now. The
Democratic party has no inclination to take
up radical position on the question. The
conservative doctrine commenced by the
Ohio platform has appealed very generally
to the intelligent public opinion of the coun-
try. No considerable body of the Demo-
Gratis in Congress will seek to go beyond it.
A conservative position is always prefer
able on the eve Of presidential canvass.
The Democrats understand perfectly well,
no matter what the Republicans may say to
the contrary, that the tidal wave has not
subsidized. The tendency of public senti.
ment is in their favor. The same distrust
which the people felt last year in Republi-
can methods is still prevalent There has
occurred nothing to modify it. From the
standpoint from which we have written our
opinion 1t does not occur to us that Con-
gress will undertake to vitalize any mate
rial issue for the national canvass
