1t is being urged that the rulings
of Representative Bob. Haynes, OF
Madison county, while temporarily
occupying the chair of the House,
during its last sittings, were uncon-
stitutional, and that the Validity
of one or two bills passed during
that time is questionable. The con-
stitution provides that "the ayes
and noes of the members shall at
the request of any five of them, be
entered on the journal" Mr..
Haynes rulings were contrary to
this provision. Representative But
Ter and others who were Overruled
in the matter had their protests en-
tered on the Journal.

The New Orleans Times-Demo-

The New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat is one of the most enterprising
papers in the South and compares
favorably with the New York dali
lies. We have recently received
the "Times-Democrat Almanac"
which is very neat publication
with many handsome illustrations.
1t is chiefly valuable for the number
of important statistics it contains
and this is very useful to the News
paper man. The Almanac is pre-
sented "with kindly greeting. to the
Representatives of the intelligence
and,progressiveness of the'SOuth and
SOuth-west-our subscribers"

Now, to begin with, Mr.. Yancey is an
avowed horizontal protecrionist, and want
ed to boost up his paPer.-lDemocrat.
Can anybody tell us what is a
"horizontal protectionist" In the
diversified nomenclature of the tar
iff, and among the many phrazes
that have been invented to express
the different shades of belief ON that
subject, did anybody ever hear of a
"horizontal protectionist" The ed
itor of the CHRONICLE never in his
life spoke or penned such words, so
joined they have no meaning and
express nothing. Some time ago
we did have occasion to say: ''In
our opinion a horizontal reduction
of the tariff of 33B per cent. will
give the relief that consumers clam
or for, and furnish all necessary pro-
lection to American industries"
Does that declare us protectionist
of any kind, in the political accep-
tation of the term? If SO, Henry
Watterson is a prOtectionist, for he
only asks for a reduction of the tar
iff and not it's abolition. The only
difference is that Mr.. WattersOn has
never expressed the exact amount
of his proposed reduction, and does
it up in the we'll known phraze, "a
tariff for revenue only" The re-
cent tariff act made horizontal, or
average reduction, of about 25 per
cent. We cannot then be classed as
"Protectionist," for protectionists
opposed any reduction and our po-
sition favors a still further cutting
down. The above is all that
has ever appeared in the CHRoNI-
Gle expressing the editors standing
on the tariff issue. If the Democrat
was not so high-toned a journal this
attack might seem like a personal
discourtesy and an effort to preju-
dice the public against the CHRoNI-
Gle, but we must forbear from in
dulging in such suspicious against
our very honorable contemporary.

ChnrlottsvIlIe "a Chronicle.

Liberty is not license, but a pOr-
ton of the press seems to imagine
that the liberty which is guaranteed
to the press gives free license to pub
lish the details Of every scandal.
There are some journals that need
to learn that there is law to prevent
the transmission of obscene litera-
ture through the mails, whatever
may be their right TO print. The
vile letters brought to light in the
trial of Dukes at UpiontOWn, Penn
sylvania, should not have appeared
in respectable papers, and we are
glad TO say that, so far as we have
observed, they have not been re-
published in any Virginia journal.
1t is outrageous that the eyes Of
pure young women should rest on
such corrupting stuff through. the
medium of newspapers that are in
troduced in the family circle, and
their minds familiarized with the
work OF libertines and the arts Of
the seducer. No pretense Of enter
Drising Journalism justilies the pub
lication of demoralizing and obscene
articles, which, even by suggestion,
may corrupt the minds of the young
and lead them astray from the
paths of purity and virtue. When
the demands Of a depraved public
taste makes such .eXactions of this
paper, the man at the helm proposes
to step down and out.

BY reason Of her peculiar relations
and her peculiar ailments, woman has
been compelled 20 suffer, not only her
own ills, but those arising from the
want of knowledge, or Of consideration

irregularities peculiar to her sex have
thus been aggravated to degree
which no language cam express. In

cal test. 1t was found that the pipe OF six
inches diameter, led by force pump, stood
the test up to 100 pounds to the square inch.
Such pressure no composition ever re,
celyed or stood. How much more it would
have endured the reporter does not know
as the water was turned OIL at that degree
of pressure.
Its composition is of sand so per cent, II

ore, sulphur and gypsum.
FOR sewerage purposes there seems to be
no end to its strength and durability and
the city engineer, who was present at the
trial test, thinks 1t the desideratum for CITY
purposes. There are no elbows necessary
as the pipes are made to fit into each other.
The committee. represented by Chairman
Carter were delighted with the exhibition,
and hope the long vexed quo 1tion of the

Any sized or shaped piping can be made,

Among the institutions that have grown
with Dallas growth, and strengthened with
her strength, is the hostelry of Alfred Kent.
Commencing in rather limited and expert
mental style, Kent has gradually advanced
in proportions until his house has attained
all the comforts of the English inn, with the
modern improvements of the American
system of elegant landlordship. Whilst II
is true that mot every man can keep no.
tel, yet 1t is exceptionally conceded that
Kent can. His secret is an open one. Sub
stanhal, choice and well cooked viands,
clean and cheerful rooms the exercise OF
an unobtruslve courtesy that creates the
prevalence Of true home feelings among the
guests, are the only appliances he has EN-.
ployed to make his house the most popular
OF Dallas hotels. You see it all by his elec.
