A Change In Tone.

Last week we referred to the changed tone
of the democratic press of the state toward
William Pitt Kellogg. AT the time of writ
ing that article we little dreamed that an
other change was about to occur rs to its tone
regarding the former democratic opponent of
the republican leader in the gubernatorial
contest of 1872. Yet soft is.
While IL is admitted that our senator has
lately mt least, been doing good work for the
state, it Is openly charged by some of the
democratic press that Hon. John McEnery
(under contract authorized by democratic
legislature, and executed by democratic
governor in McEnery's favOr) has been reap
ing an unfair profit from lands charitably be-
slowed by the United States to Louisiana for
the building of the levees and the education
of the children OF the state, laying claim
even to the ground on which the monument
at Chalmetto rests, Indeed, SO rank has been
the feeling of indignation aroused by these
charges against one who has for years stood
high in the opinion of the democracy Of the
state, that the former idol is made the subject
of bitter cartoon in city editorial.
OF the exact truth of these charges we have
not the means of knowing, and sincerely trust,
for the good name of the person charged, as
well as forthe honor and interest of the state,
they will be disproved but there is food for
reflection for the people hereafter TO bear in
mind, and this is, that republicanism in Louis-
ana is no more evidence of dishonesty than
democracy is Of superior virtue. But short
time ago Senator Kellogg was denounced by
every epithet which malicious ingenuity
could devise; now, his ability and steadfast-
moss in the discharge Of his official duties to
the state is admitted by the same press and
portions of tho people who then held up Mr.
Mcfnery as grand representative of true
democracy while to-day, ifthe charges made
by tho Now Orleans Picayinle and other papers
regarding him are true, he will have ustly
fallen so low as none will feel like doing him
reverence. zempOra nutaatar, ct nos matamm

"MY COUNTRY, IT'S OF THEE"
The Venerable Author OF Our National
Hymn.

The Venerable Author OF Our National
Hymn.
Rev. S. +. Smith, the author of the well
known national hymn, My Country, 'Tis of
Thee" is u well preserved looking old gen.
tleman, about 8 feet inches in height, and
slightly built. His hair Is very gray, and he
stoops slightly. With the exception ofNbeng
q trifle deaf he bears his seycnty-fvo years
wonderfully well, and that he is in
good health is amply proved by the two long
addresses he delivered without seeming at all
fatigued. Two years ago Dr. Smith and his
wife set out for a tour through Europe the
East Indies and Burmah, in which latter
country ono Of his sons has been missionary
for some years, and, Notwithstanding his great
age, the voyage seems to have done DIR. Smith
good.
A Chicago reporter had a brief interview
with the doctor recently.

| worked out their natural re-
suits. Toward the end of Marbles ad
mlnlstration, and for a time following,
the paper had the reputation of being the
worst pay in the city of New York. and,
| perhaps, in the United States. Poor fell
lows walking on their uppers were trying
to collect their salaries. Nobody seemed
to know what ownership the World had.
1t finally appeared that Col. Thomas A.
Scott, who was deeply involved in the
| trans-Pacifc railroad enterprise, had been
made the victim of buying it, with the
idea of using it to influence the indorse-
| ment OF his bonds by the governments.
Some time previous to this the paper had
| been huxtering all sorts of Mexican and
| Spanish-American jobs, and was regarded
Ia New York city as ready to pimp for any
scheme of foreign adventures who wanted
to gain foothold on this continent Col.
Scott found the paper of no advantage,
and it is understood that in his effects
when he sold out the trans-Pacifc fran
ehise and property to Mr.. Gould was found
the World newspaper.
Perhaps the most remarkable incident
IN the history of this newspaper was its de-
sertion of Horatie Seymour in 1868. The
World took no position as the Democratic
organ merley On aconunt of Marbles sit
ting at the editorial desk, but two of its
oWHers were known to be Mr.. Belmont,
chairman of the Democratic National com
m1ttee, and Mr.. Barlow, the chief counsel
OF that committee and buyer in general to
the Democracy. 1t seemed, therefore, as
tonlsbing that while the campaign was yet
warm and undecided, this paper, arroga-
ting to itself the organship of the party,
should pronounce Seymour and Z air to
be politically defunct, called for
another convention, and eveh in the
month of October to nominate somebody
else to beat Grant. have previously given
in your columns conversation with the
editor at that time the Washington Demo-
cratic organ who told that in his belief Mr..
Tilden inspired the articles in the World
withdrawing Seymour and Blair. 1t any
rate, he used his belief with remarkable eff
feet as member of John Kelly's delega-
tion to Syracuse in 1879. Mr.. Tilden's can
didate for governor was there nominated,
but sufficient excuse was given for the de-
fection of Tammany hall in the detection
of Mr.. Tllden to Mr.. Seymour's cause
eleven years previously.

The Crees With War Paint On.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. !

HELENA, NJ. T., May 13.-Ool. Ilges,
commanding at Fort Assinnibo1n, northern
Montana, has received information that
the Cree Indians are preparing for general
war. Three hundred lodges under Big
Bear, Lucky Man and Little Pine are
camped within twenty-five miles of Fort
Walsh, Northwest territory, preparatory
to cross into Montana to avenge the loss
of the Crees in the late horse stealing
raid. Col. Ilges' informants are scouts
who have been in the camp. Ilges,
Immediately on learning of the proposed
raid, dispatched couriers to Fort
Walsh to demand of the British
authorities to take immediate steps
to prevent the Indians from crossing the
line if possible. He thinks the first attack
will be made on the Gros Ventre and As
sinniboin Indian S, and that it will cause
a general war, in which case the stock in
terests of northern Montana are sure to
suffer, and no white mans life will be safe
on the prairies. A party of Cree raiders
a few days ago stole forty horses from the
Benton & st. Louis cattle company, and
are being pursued by two companies of
Fort Assinniboin cavalry and Capt. Nc
Adams, making day and night marches
A fight will probably result.

for the value of beer sold him. Hill ad-
mitted the debt, bat pleaded that the Con-

ton by declaring that the amendment was
not in force, the record OF the House OF the

it had passed. and that the House
measure differed from the amendment
as passed by the Senate in form and sub
stance; and, further, that subsequent action
in the Nineteenth did not and could not

Judge Sewers says that, while il is true
the enrolled bills are landmarks of

DIR. Oliver Before the Senate Finance Com
mittes-Chapgss Ia Schedule TO be Recon-
mended
WAsHIyGToN, Jan. IS The Senate III
nance Committee to-day gave further hear
ing to II. W. Oliver, of the Tariff Commits
sion, in regard to the metal schedule
proposed by the Commission. A prominent
member of the Commission thinks i. is very
probable the Commission VIII decide to
bring in an amendment to their pending
bill TO provide for making two classihcations
of steel, and impose Q higher duty on bars
ingots, ETC., made of higher priced steel
than on blooms of less costly material. The
Committee have found upon investigation
that the classification proposed by the Tariff
Commission would admit at the same
rate high priced charcoal steel from
Swedish iron by the Siermens
made by the Bessemer rrCcs IS. the former
being valued at about $l20 and the latter
only from $40 to $50 per ton. The Com
mittee will, therefore probably adopt the
limitation that will distinguish the two for
import purposes. The Tariff Commission
| recommended this limitation at weight OF
blooms, not less than 500 pounds and not
less than five inches square nor less than
| five inches in least dismeter in cross sec
| ton, the rate to be six-tenths of central per
pound. This Limitation the Dmmitiee have
stricken out, the result of which they now
find would be TO admit high priced sIeel at
six-tenths of a cent per pound, which. under
the Commission bill, would pay two cents
per pound. This the Committee think would
do injustice 10 manufacturers of fine steel in
this country, and it is thought
they will undoubtedly adopt some plan Tor
! remedying the defect. The Committee have
also become convinced its proposed reduc-
ton of the duty on pig iron from So u per
ton, as in the Tariff Commission bill, to S.
would work great injury 10 domestic man
ufacturers, and will probably reconsi der this
action and recommend the Tariff Commits
sion rate. They have received remonstr8noes
| from manufacturers in Ohio, Pennsylvania
and other States asserting that the So rate
would compel the closing OF many furnaces
Late this afternoon Oliver was given q
second and final hearing, at which be fur
nished the Committee information of i'm
poriance with reference to the recommen-
dGtion of the Tariff Commission for an
increase of duty upon tin plate and hoop
iron. and the imposition of duues upon steel
booms under newly-invented processes.
