Somebody here in Chloride inquired
how 1t happened that the ~rat-tailed
Fox Of Socorro came TO be an alter
nate to the national convention of
democrats ana then get appointed
member for New Mexico of the nation
al committee. The matter was easily
explained by a bystander who SAID
''The rat-tailed Fox has the habits of a
skunk and commands the same kind of
respect. lie pushes himself into the
society of gentlemen and they, rather
than run the risk OF being befouled by
him vacate the premises and leave him
solely in charge. The skunk occupies
choice places by eason of his odor and
the rat-tailed Fox does likewise. No
body wants to soil their feet by kick
ing him, so they let him alone and per-
init him to suppose ,hat he is the boss
Of the democratic party m New Mexl-
CO."

The New York Herald In a re-
cent issue saws: "When the South,
with its greater advantages for
cheap production, manufactures
the cotton and the iron which 1t
produces, and when the West builds
so many WOODEN mills as Will in n
measure supply the demands OF the
country, what is to become OF the
factories and furnaces of New En-
land and Pennsylvania? This is
becoming a very serious question
for them, These newly established
industries possess such advantages
over their older competitors that
the contest is a very unequal one
and the issue is not at all doubtful. :"
Here you have little of the true
inwardness of the free trade move
ment. AS the matter stands New
England factories are bound to go
to the wall. With free trade the
young Southern industries will be
killed off, and the New England
factories left in better shape for a
contest with foreign countries.

BLISSFUL IGNORANCE.

Why didn't the Madison TIMES
reporter get up and express his
opinion and his views in the col
ored meeting instead of having
Hawkins do it for him?
The TINES reporter seems more
at ease in a cOlored convention than
among the whites, whispering and
prompting dusl;y member Of the
meeting would indicate this-Mad-
ison Journal.
The Journal does not appear to
know the difference between a re-
porter and the average country
editor. The TIMES reporter ac-
quired his reporting experience in
the service Of frst-class daily pa
pers in New Orleans, and reporters
are expected to get all the informa-
ton at meetings possible. To do
this it is necessary to ask questions
occasionally, and the man or men
of whom the questions are asked
are the ones who are most likely to
furnish the information desired.
Consequently the TIMES reporter
asked several questions during the
meeting Of March 10Th. He did
the same at the white mass meet
ing of March 10th, and will continue
to do the same at all future meet
ings he may attend, when he feels
so disposed.
The Journal did not have "a re-
porter at the Republican meeting
OF the 10th of March, or the Demo.
cratic mass meeting Of the 10th
either, so far as could be discerned
and it probably got its information
secondhand, which would account
for the wrong construction placed
upon the TIMES reporters actions
The party who furnished the Jour
nal with the items at the head oil
this article evidently had not The
most remote idea of the duties of a
reporter, probably never saw one,
and naturally did not know the du.
ties of one. The more discreet
course then would have been to
have said nothing about-the wits.
pering, etc, but" fools rush in
where angels fear to tread"

TIE EXECUTION.

Now is a good time to consider
what you can do towards having
Madison parish wen represented
al Tie Exposition in New Orleans.
While the water is up and you are
waiting 20 sec what it is going to
do, you can improve your leisure
time In perfecting a plan for help
ing the exhibit from Madison.
There is no use in waiting for
any formal notice. or for the organ
ization Of committee to take the
matter in charge. Proceed with
what you are going to do, and all
the formality can come later.
There is plenty of time for that,
but you cannot begin too soon to
get yourself into shape to prepare
your exhibit, whatever it may be.
Wailing and grooming over the
fact Of there being high water has
never yet done any good. If you
are going to stay in this parish and
make it your home, why the more
you do towards building it up the
better. Show what it is capable of
and induce others to come. If the
entire open land in the parish was
occupied, enough money could be
raised here at hcme to make our
levecs absolutely secure against
any flood. There is no better agri-
cultural parish in the South than
Madison, and all it wants is some
vim infused into it to make it what
it ought tobe.
Unfortunately and wrongfIlly,
the parish seat is supposed to be a
sample of>the state OF the parish
itself. Unfortunately, because Tai
lulah is more like a corpse than a
live town, and wrongfully, because
our parish seat is more properly a
sample of the abandoned overflow
cd lands than of the cultivated and
go ahead part OF the parish. 1t,
therefore, bchooves the enterpris-
ing men of Madison, and such men
arc to be found, to bestir them
selves, and see that the best OPP
portunity they have ever had, OF
will have, to place our parish prop
erly before the world, is taken adj
vantage of to the fullest extent,
and let the mourners have theil
funeral to themselves.

TIE REPUBLICANS.

The Republican Parish Execu-
tive Committee held a meeting on
the 29th of March in Tallulah.
The meeting appears to have been
called by L. Ii. Brown, but for
what purpose can only be left to
conjecture. 1t was stated in the
meeting that Browns notices read
in some cases that the meeting was
to be a meeting of the Parish Com
mittee, and i'll others, mass meet
ing or Convention. This state
ment was not denied by Brown,
and as the maker of the statement
offered to prove it by exhibiting
the notices in Browns hand-writ-
ing, it can be accepted as true.
At the meeting of March 18th
Brown was elected temporary chair
man, and he claimed that he was
chairman of the present meeting.
Gov. Hawkins claimed that he was
chairman OF the Parish Executive
Committee, and The meeting was a
Parish Committee meeting with
himself as chairman. The usual
confusion. when such state of af-
fairs exists, now took place, every
one trying to talk at once, and fin
ally the Brown crowd retired to the
front part of the building and held
a mass meeting, where they en-
dorsedthc ticket put up by the Lu-
-Crandell party, substituting r.
II. Brown for D. George Humphreys
rs candidate for the Legislature,
and endorsing DR.. Kelley for Sheriff.
Another scene of confusion ensued
on the motion to adopt the Lucas
Crandall ticket, but it was finally
adopted as far as could be learned.
1t was resolved to have the pro-
ceedings published in the Journal
and Vicksburg Herald.
The Parish Committee then held
a meeting. A call of the roll show

now, but as good many people
hold his political opinions in high
esteem in the faith that he was the
father of Democracy, it will inter.

American industry. And every

Investigating the Tariff.

The tariff editor of the New York
Herald has recently been devoting
himself to appeals to the laboring
men of the various trades which he
styles "unprotected," pretending
to show how protection is injuring
them by putting up the prices OF
articles entering into everyday
consumption. He has made al
ready no less than three editorial
appeals to the carpenters, in which
he asserted that this branch Of
trade, which employs the largest
number of hands of any industry in
the country, is wholly unprotected,
and that the carpenters are the VIC
Tins of the tariff.
In answer to these appeals car
penter of New York has just writ
ten to the Herald, on the subject OF
protection, a letter which gives the
workingm ans view of this ques-
ton.
The particular carpenter writing
to the New York Herald OH this
subject declares that he and all his
have been inyesti-
eating the subject of the tariff to
find exactly how it affects them.
eve first satisfied ourselves that
England is a free trade country
and that wages there are only one
half what they are here, in the va
rious trades we follow. In case we
have free trade and our wages are
reduced to the English stand
ard, can we buy a barrel of -four for
"a which now costs us IS? meat
which now costs us nine and twen-
ty cents for five and ten? Can we
take trip to Coney Island and
back, including a clam chowder,
for twenty-five cents instead of fifty
cents as now? Can We buy the New
York Herald for one instead OF
two cents; ride on the horse-cars for
half price, and get our rent for halt
what we pay now? In fact, if our
wages are reduced down to the En-
glish standard-one-half, can we
get everything correspondingly
cheaper"
This puts the case very clearly
as far as the industrial classes are
concerned, whether they figure un-
der the head of protected or unpro-
tected industries. If any mechan-
ic or workingman will look at the
subject as this New New York car
penter has done, he will very soon
arrive at the conclusion that while
free trade will inevitably have the
effect of reducing his wages, there
will be little if any reduction in the
cost of the majority of articles that
that now constitute necessities for
him. I'D.
