THE Springer committee yesterday threshed
over another bundle Of old straw. The ma
tion yawns when it glances at the column set
apart in tho daily papers for tho report of the
proceedings of the Springer committee, and
turns to the page. Witness Walsh did his
best to keep tho official stenographer awake
for an hour or two yesterday. Mr.. Springer
should empty wagon load of patent Office
reports OF last years tariff speeches into his
hopper. In this way he could add variety to
the dreary programme, and possibly get him
self talked about, Ho must do something
very soon or tho people will forget all about
him. There is an emergency.

THE bears took slap at stocks again yes-
terday, and there was great tumble in prices,
Union Paciflcs touching 455, Western Union
dropped to 81, Canada Pacific to 40, and Louis
vile and Nashville to 40. The decline in
values ranged from / to cents. The bot.

bank failures and financial disasters of every
description. The wreckers wore in full pos

REPUBLICAN and democratic senators arc
alike reluctant to tackle the trade dollar
Tho senate committee on finance yesterday
postponed the consideration Of the house bill
providing for the retirement of this trouble
some coin till aftor tho Juno convention.
Tho democratic senators will probably ask
for a further postpon omont till after the July
convention. There is good reason to believe
that the bill will not be acted on by the
senate at tho present session. Tho one side
will not consent to an expansion Of tho silver
currency the other side will not consent to
any reduction Of tho monthly coinage, and
neither sido wants to incur the hostility of
the silver producing states.

Gov. Cameron's Diagnosis OF the Politi-
cal situation-A Majority for Protec-
tion.
In response to series of questions ad-
dressed by the New York Herald to tho chief
executive of a number of the states touching
political matters, Gov. Cameron. of Virginia,
has written the following letter:
RICHMOND May ., 1884. To he editor OF tle Herald
ihe inquiries you PROFOUND are specific and cate
gorioa and presume will be met by direct re.
spOnses, without elaboration:
1. A great majority of the voters of Virginia,
without reference to party afiliation, in favor
oil tarlii distinctly protective In my judgment,
no party can carry this state, in national cleo
tion, which advocates tariff reform, if reform
means II reduction in the rates of import on iron
coal, sumac, peanuts aud half u dozen other
products OF Virginia.
The coalition party is openly pledged to protec-
tion. The large majority of the democratic papers
lean toward high tarin, but counsel avoidance of
us the Ohio idea. The plea Of avoidance merely
To save political organization will not, in my
opinion, satisfy the people. Dhey will expect
open nYOw9l ana square discussion.
2. Virginia again without reference 10 party
dlvlsionsl Is undoubtedly in favor of an abolition
Of or radical change In, the internal revenue sys.
tenn. Our people hold this question to be inti-
mately connected with the first. But how can
that be done? Revenue must be provided to con-
duct the government and pay interest on the debt
and II the direct tax be done away with the tariff
or indirect tax, must be relied on for revenue.
luere may Oe some sentiment i'll Virginia in
tavor OF retaining the tax against liquors distilled
from gratn but the feeling is universal against
continued charge upon the fruit distllers, who
only consume surplus which cannot be put into
market, ana the cost of collecting this tax is
largely in excess of the revenue derived, The
general feeling is favorable 10 eXempting tobacco
though few of the large manufactures may hold
different view.
g.. The democratic party certainly cannot sue
coed by avoiding or straddllng the only live issue
OF economic policy now dividing public opinion
In this country. A party which has no convic
lions or hesltates TO act up to them on vital
questions of finance has reason for existence.
vision, is defeat.
L. 1t would seem from recent DEVELOPMENTS
thata majority ofthe democrats of Virginia would
prefer the nomination Of MIR. Tilden would he
accept.
The coalitionists have already spoken for Mr..
Arthur.
My own choice need not be given, as shall
have no voice in naming the candidates. Re.

WHEELER, the Copiah county assassin, who
shot Print" Matthews just after he voted at
the November election, testified yesterday in
his own behalf. He gave an account of the
murder which has never been heard before,
and which seems to have been constructed
with view to meeting the exigencies of the
present trial. There scarcely has ever been
a shotgun leveled at a republican in Missis-
sippi that was not purely defensive weapon
according to the testimony of the rullian who
used it. We have no doubt but that Wheeler s
testimony will have great weight with q
Copiah county jury.

No great amount of damage was done by tho
burning, but the volume of smoke that
pured out from the hidden source of the con-
fiagration was almost phenomenal. The saving
of this building and tho valuable property
illustrates the valuo of wel.orgauized aud
efficient fire department. Its destruction
would have been far.reaching calamity.

Tie Trndn Dollar.

The senate committee ON finance yesterday
listened to Senator Sherman's adverse report
upon the trade dollar bill, but did not reach
o final disposition of the matter. Its further
consideration was postponed until tho third
Tuesday in June. The reason for this post
ponement is understood to be the opinion of
majority of tho committee, including mem
bers of both parties, that it is inexpedient to
bring on financial discussion at this time,
or to take up tho trade dollar question apart
from other features of tho subject of silver
coinage, which. in the opinion Of some NOM
bers Of tho committee will soon require con-
sideration. The debate warrants tho belief
that the trade dollar bill will not be favOrably
reported this session.

Seated beside his fathers tomb

Seated beside his fathers tomb

Who speaking with poor mans son,
Reproved him, In his lordly way.

Costly aud beauteous to behold;
And 10 ! on alabaster graved
His name in characters of gold.
what likeness to thy fathers tomb
Has 1t, as high as thot is lowq
Builded of brick, with dust thereon.
Not more than summer winds might blow.'
"Peacel" said the poor mans son. Before
The heavy stone that on him lies
Thy father shall have moved lot,
Mine will have entered Paradise.

And choose ye straightway which is best,
Earth which rich men disquiet 80,
Or Heaven, which is the poor mans rest ;"

Magic No More Mystcry-Seen From
Across the World

III AROUN of Alcppo," said Sir Philip
IL Derval, chad mastered every secret
in nature which the nobler magic seeks to
tathom. He discovered that the art of heal
ing is to assist nature to throw off the disease
to summon, as it We're, the whole system to
eject the enemy that has fastened on a part.
his process all included the reinvigoration of
the principle of life
In this the Eastern sage merely anticipated
the practice of the best physicians of to-day
W hat life itself is, nobody knew then-no-
body knows now. But we have learned
something of the reasons why the mysterious
tide rises and falls. Provided the great or
gans of the body are not irrcparably destroy
ed, medical science can always relieve, and
often save. Yet no reputable physician now
adheres to the barharouS and stupid processes
OF depletion, such as bleeding, by which it
was attempted to cure disease by reducing the
patients ability to resist it. Now-a-ti;iys we
do not tear down the fort to help the garrison
We strengthen 1t.
In this intelligent and bcncticent work. it is
conceded that i'AItKE ER'S TONIC leads all
other medicines. AS an invgorant it acts
immediately and powerfully upon the circu-
latlon and the organs Of digestion, thus giving
Nature the assistance she calls for. 1t follows
that all ailments of the stomach, kidneys and
liver are at once relieved or cured No other
preparation embOdies the same qualities or
produces similar results. 1t is delicious to use
and the best known anti-intoXicant. Price
