What will They Do with It2

AT last there Is tariff reform bill he
fore congress. 1t was framed and in
troduced by Mr.. Morrison, chairman
of the house ways and means commit
tee, n gentleman who Is prominent Us
a Democratic leader and also as an anti.
protectionist. 1t goes first to the
house, a body where the Democrats
have large working majority. The
Democrats claim to he tariff reformers.
The bill contemplates tariff reduction,
but not ola radical nature-not enough
to upset business interests or threaten
any meritOrious industry. Putting all
these facts together what ought to be
the result? IT can he told In five
words; The passage Of The bin. We
do not mean though both houses of
congress. The senate, clear-cut pro-
tective body. stands an insurmount-
able barrier to that; aud back of the
senate is the president, also Il protec.
ZIONIST, with ready veto. But the
Democratic house has nothing to do
with these ultimate contingencies. Its
duty is TO pass tariff reduction bill
and send il along to the senate. That
body will slaughter it. but the Demo-
Gratis will have done their duty. They
will have placed theparty upon record
and shaped the issue upon which IL
can so before the country in the cleo
ton this fall. Already predictions are
being made thai Mr.. Morrison's bill
cannot command the support of the
house; that il is too extreme; that the
country is not ready for tariff tinker
ing. Already the taunt Is being flung
at the Democrats that, 'as ,lsuaJ.p
they will dodge the issue and do moth
ing in the way of giving force to what
they profess. II they verify the pre-.
dictions-if they pocket the taunts-
they will invite and merit defeat
Tariff reform is the only issue upon
which the Democratic party can an

sue, and the Democrats its exlonenis
there is no ground upon which to DIS.
place the Republican party. The cry,
by the Democrats, of turn the rascals
OUT" is as silly aud futilc as shaking
the bloody shirt would be with the Re.
publicans. 1t must be tariff reform
or nothing, 80 far as the Democrats are
concerned. A party without an issue
or policy Is worse than no party AT
all. The rank and file of Democracy
IL ready and willing TO make the issue.
Everything rests with the congress
men In the house. Are they equal to
the emergency?

The Lorio Of Facts.

Thirty thousand persons, at Fail
river, who until recently were opera
tives in cotton mills, are idle. They
are out of employment because they
cannot stand n further reduction OF
wages. And the mill owners say they
cannot operate their establishments
any longer, unless mt a reduced rate of
wages. Thus the spindles are silent,
men are idle, the mill doors are shut
and capital is locked up. Ii Is not
charged that the mill owners are ra-
paoious and desire to grind down their
operatives. 1t does not appear that
cotton goods have undergone any inn
mediately recent depression in price.
Nor is there any diminution in the
demand for such goods. People want
cotton for wearing apparel as much as
ever. The explanation is found in the
growth of manufacturing industries
in the South-the home of cotton.
The smoke that rises from tue tall
chimneys of every cotton mill in the
South hangs like pail over similar
establishment in New England. The
hmm of every spindle in Southern
factory is the knell of once loud and
busy spindles in the East. The South
ern products, turned out so much
cheaper, are driving the New England
products out OF the market. The mill
in Massachusetts or New HamI shire
cannot compete with the mill planted
beside the cotton field in Georgia,
Mississippi, or any state in the cotton
belt. Such result is inevitable, and
New England is accepting the stern
logic Of the situation. AS for the
South, it is only beginning to realize its
power and resources. 1t crowned cot |
ton as king long ago, but now is in.
vesting him with imperial attributes. |
AS the years go by the manufacture of
cotton goods mus become more and |
more Southern industry. 1t is no
dream of the Imagination TO predict
that the man who trayerses New Eng
land quarter of century from now
will search in vain for the cotton mills
that now dot that section of the coun-
try. He will find manufacturing es-
adjustments, no doubt, in plenty.
The New Engander must manufacture
10 live But the spindles and looms
hat turn out the cotton cloth will have
'ome South, where they belong.

Born Of War Trnnhlns.

a special dispatch to the GAZETTE
from Longview has given the outlines
of rather peculiar criminal case now
on trial in the district court at Hen
derson, Rusk county. During the war,
in that county, one Chism evaded the
CONSUMPTION act of the Confederate
government He sought the woods
and was chased by bloodhounds until
caught. When the war ended Chism
hunted up the man who conducted
the chase against him and killed him.
Then Chlsm shook the dust of Rusk
county from his feet and found refuge
IN "a southeastern county. There he
lived quietly and reputably until
few months ago, when, by accident, his
whereabouts Were discovered and he
was arrested and carried back to Hen
derson, to answer the charge of muir
der committed nearly twenty years
ago. The case came up for trial yes
| terday. All the circumstances CON
sidered, 1t is perhaps to be regretted
that the man was discovered, as the
trial must of necessity revive some bit
| ter local memories. Considerable zeal
must have been manifested by some
body, or Chism would not have been
found and carried back to Henderson.
And that zeal was manifested proves
there is feeling somewhere, which will

all circumstances, as before said, it
were better there had been no revival
of the matter. Chism's act was born
of the spirit OF revenge and retaliation,
but it was not of kind to be classed
with assassination, or wilful, malicious
murder. The man ought to be acqit.
ted and suffered to conclude his life in
the orderly, quiet spirit that seems To
have characterized IL since he slew his
pursuer. II is rather too late in the
day to jeopardize mans life because
OF his resistance TO the mandates of the
dead Conlederacy. This is not the
first ease of'the kind that has occurred
In the South since the close of the civil
war. They have figured in the courts
in nearly every Southern state, and in
every case we have heard of (save one)
the juries, obeying the charge of the
courts, acquitted. In Tennessee few
years ago, IA jury convicted man
whose case presented striking SINH
larity TO this one of Chism's. He
sought relief in the United States
courts and found It.
