THE TARIFF OUTLOOK.

Proceedings in Congress this week
indicate the probability that All amended
tariff bill will be passed aud that i'll The
general reduction ofimport duties those
| on sugar and molasses will not escape.
| Senators Kellogg and Jonas are fight
ing side by side in defense of the in
| terests of our agricultural classes, and
while they do not hope to secure the
adoption of the sugar schedule recon-
mended by the Tariff Commission, they
are confident that the rates favored by
the Senate Finance Committee will at
least be accorded. sThese are, II cents
per pound on all grades Of sugar, with
an increase of five-hundredtls of "a cent
for every degree above Is degrees, polar
iscopic test.
Votes taken in the Senate OH Wednes-
day made it apparent that there is a
decided sentiment in favor of the FL
nance Committees schedule, though
Senator Kellogg is hopeful of obtaining
something better before the bill can be
finally passed. He has several more
amendments PREPARED, one Of which adds
IS per centnm to the committees rates
on all sugars produced 10y slave labor.
1t is thought several Republican Sena-
tors now supporting the Finance Com
mittee will consent to advocate the
adoption of this amendment.
The Republicans in both branches of
Congress seem determined to press tariff
legislation through before the end of the
session, and they have the assistance ola
of@he Democratic members in
this purpose. There is a general impress
sion that tho result of last Falls cleo
tions was largely dne to n popular
demand for tariff reductions, and the
leaders of both political parties are evil
IDENTIFY DESTROYS of placing themselves in
line with what they believe to be the
drift of public sentiment on this question.

Since the CHIEF assisted in the election
Of Mr.. Joseph II. Acklen to Congress
from this district III 1576-an error fol-
which we have since endeavorel to atone
we have found little in the course OF
that active and prominent young Dem
ocrat to admire or applaud; bat MIR
Acklen has at last done something which
meets with our unqualified appreciation
and Endorsement.
The commendablc action to which we
refer is the transmission of letter to
Senator Kellogg, Congressman elect for
the Third District Of this State, wherein
Mr.. Acklen announces that lie has abanv
doned his proposed contest for tho seat
in the Forty Eighth Congress which an
overwhelming majority of the voters of
the discreet accorded to Mr.. Kellogg.
We congratulate Mr.. Acklen upon this
very sensible proceeding, which consti-
tutes virtual admission Of what must
have been ~ patent fact to all nnpreju-
diced minds: that the allegations of
frand, intimidation aud bribery made
against Senator Kellogg and his friends
in the notice of contest given by the
Democratic candidate some weeks ago
were far-fetched, erroneous and ephem-
eral.
The title of Mr., Kellogg to his seat
being now qnieted, we trust the bitter
ness engendered by the late Congress
ionnl election--for which we have never
been able to account on reasonable
grounds-will he permitted to die out,
and tat the course of our Representa-
tive will be such as to advance the in
terests and secure tho appreciation Of the
whole people of our district.

AN INTERESTING CONTROVERSY,

| Documents are being circulated among
the Catholic citizens Of this parish,
headed by the following agreement, and
are being extensively signed:
| We. the undersigned Roman Catholics of the
parish of Ascension hereby agree to form our
selves into a corporation for the purpose of
managing the temporal affairs of the Congrega-
| ton. of the Roman Catholic Church of Assem-
| Roman Catholic Church of Ascension, and
agree to become charter members of said cor
Wherefore we hereafter atfix our respective
signatures.
The object of this movement is to
revive the charter of the former Congre-
cation, which expired i'll 1881, and to
take charge of the property owned by
that corporation i'll this parish, consist
ing principally of town lots in Donald
sonville commonly known as "church
lots" These lots had been seized by the
Sheriff for delinquent taxes, but Mr..
Leon Babin advanced the money to pay
the amount due, and the new corpora
ton will reimburse him for the expendi
ture.
Rev. Father Ceuppens, rector of the
Ascension Church, is opposed to the OBJ
Jeet Of the agreement, and in his sermon
last Sunday morning he sharply criti-
cised the originators, rejecting with
particular severity upon the gentleman
who has for Il number of years acted as
collector of the rental accruing from the
lots in question. Father Cenppens de-
sired the property sold by the Sheriff
and proposed to buy it in +" for the Cath
olics of this parish" but leading members
of the church We're not willing to allow
the title of their former corporation to
be jeopardized by such sale.
The controversy is exciting general ill.,
tercst among the Catholics of the com
munity, and considerable warm feeling
has been already stirred up by it.
