THE NEW TARIFF.

The Times Dem crat Of March 9
printed II synopsis of the new Tariff
Bill, passed by Congress in it's clos
ing hours. Manufactures of pot
terry have an increase of protection.
Iron submits to a reduction, proba
bly, Of a small fraction ; no change is
made on Wooden manufactured ar
%ticles; a considerable reduction is
made Oh Tobacco; a small rednc
ton is made CD WOODEN goods.
Rice is lowered one halt cent per
pound. Champagne and fine Ii
qoors are increased; on carpets
and ready made clothing there IS
generally a small reduction of tariff
dutieo; Books remain as they are
paper has a considerable reduction.
AS to sugar it is difficult to make
more explicit the synopsis aud it is
therefore given in fall.
SUGAR.
A revolution is brought about in the method
OF assessing duties on sugar. All sugars are
now graded by the Dutch standard. Tie
new law prescribes the polari-scope test M Is
No. ~ Dutch standard and provides that an
gar testing not above Is degrees shall nav ia
cents per pound, and that .04 cent per pound
shall be added for every degree above Is.
This classification favors the importation of
high-grade sugars because it bears with dis
nroportionate weight on the lower grades.
The average, however, is not far from AZ per
cent being IA reduction of from II to 20 per
cent below tho existing rates. Above No. 10
the classification is still by the Dutch stand
ard-S75 cents per pound from No. ID to No.
10, 8 cents txom No. l6 to No. and 3.5 cents
s7',S a1.,s a. and resent rates here are
tn new rates on rsl snssrs, i ike the old,
are and were intendO 10 be- proLibitory.
The principal gamers ffU(nss the reduction Of
duties on sugar will be thap ~retiners of the
mgher grades Of raw sugars, who get their ma
terlal under a lower duty and retain Just as
much protection against foreign comnetit,on
as they have now. Molasses testing below $50
will pay 4 cents a gallon, testing above ste
cents. The present rate ON all molasses is 6,
cents.

One If the worst features of our criminal ju'
risprudence. ia the practice of putting off
trials from time tO time. until witnesses are
gone. are confused in their recollection Of
events. or are tempered with by the friends
of the accused /; then, after a heavy charge
has been imposed upon taxpayers. tie cr;,ni-
nails ut last are permitted to slip through
the fingers of justicc.-N. O. Item.
There is nothing in the juris
prudence of Louisiana that needs
reforming so much as its criminal
code. The trials Of murlerers are
postponed from time to time until
the witnesses Of the crime are
dead, OF removed beyond the reach
of tie courts. Criminals should
have swift and speedy trial, a
speedy and swift Punishment when
guilty or an early release when in
noceEt. The homes: tax pa, er is
made 10 pay the expense of guard
ing thieves, robbers and murderers.
aud also pay for keeping for months
and years, in prison, men who ought
tosbe at liberty. If man is guilty
Of crime, lie should he punished
promptly; if he is innocent, he
ought not to DC kept in prison, aud
III neither case should the tax pay
ers he made to bear any heavier
harden than is absolutely necessa
~ to insure justice.
Under the present law every
thing works to the benefit Of the
scOnndrtl aud the villain. to the
detriment OF the honest and peace
full citizen.

1t is an encouraging sign of
progress that is now exhibited in
the Press Of Louisiana, that of Civ
ing columns of instruction to the
planters, as to the best manner of
cultlvating the soil and managing
agricultural affairs, and doubtless
furnishes much reading matter for
the farming community. The vast
and intimate knowledge Of farming
which editors have renders their
advice peculiarly instructive to the
c~ultivatOr of the soil.

The Sandwich Islands are just
now in the disagreeable plight OF
being oyerrun by Mopgolians.
Meetings are held in which the
speakers protest against unre-
stricted Chinese immigration, on
the ground that these Celestial in
corners will soon outnumber the
natives. One Honolulu newspaper
demands that Chinese immigration
shall be restricted to the number of
laborers the sugar plantations may
demand. An impression has pre-
vailed in this country that the
Hawaiian Government lately re-
pealed its old anti Chinese laws,
but this is denied by the Hawaiian
Minister. The islands have pro-
tested against the embark .tion Of
Chinese for their ports, but the
closing of the United States against
the yellow men turns the current
only the more heavily to Hawaii
and British Columbia. It would
be strange were the Hawaiian is
lands to be. chiefly tenanted by
Mongolians. and that change will
take place within a very few years
unless enernetic measures are
taken to regulate the numbers ad-
mitted.

MORNING APPEAL


PR09t1t0tc0 El0Q 0c0CC.
Emery Storrs, the Chicago lawyer,
gave . splendid exhibition of Wes-
tern oratory in his appeal IN be-
half of the murderer, Jere Dunn.
In the peroration he said i:
Gentlemen, the States attorney
will speak to you when I have
done. eloquently, splendidly, bat
As he is speaking just look and
keep looking into the depths of the
evidence in this case. And, gentle
men, l believe that this man will
be acquitted. believe that there
is sunshine in the future of him. l
believe that the birds will sing for
him and the grass grow for him. 1
believe that in the old home in Os
wego the old hearts will be CAD
dened by Jere Dunn emerging
from the ordea! unscathed and uu-
harmed"
The eloquent gentleman forgot to
tel the jury that there would be no
more sunshine for Elliott, bis
clients victim; that the solitude OF
his grave would never be enlivened
by the songs of birds, and that the
only grass to grow for him was that
which sprung from the soil en-
riched by his own dust, and waved
above his own grave that in the
old home" was one old but loving
mothers heart which her sons
presence could never gladden. again.
All these he forgot to mention. The
Jury also forgot to look at this de
of the picture, and told Mr.. Dunn
to leave the Jail and go out into the
fields and hear the birds sing. etc.
The Chicago News offers these
comments on the situation
"Some day, when the sun is
shining brightly and the birds are
