WAodiNoION OullSs Nfbii, AOOt.
Senator ingalls, of Kansas, and
Brown of Georgia, furnished sensa-
ton by indulging in bitter quarrel,
which, inter mittently, lasted for two
days. Then the Mexican Pension
bill got all mixed up with politics in
the Senate and still hangs there.
The Anti-Polygamy bill came trium-
phantly through the Upper House,
but too late perhaps to be acted on
this session at the other end of the
Capitol. There was some sharply
seasoned debate on the measure.
Speaking ofpensions and Politics, the
the Republican Senators permitted
party tactics to get away with their
interest in Mexican veterans They
agreed. in caucus to tack the bill, an
amendment reviying the arrear.

TEMPERANCE IN the south.

Not the least valuable among our
exchanges ia the San Marcos FhEi
Pass. the editor OF which is descend
cd from a Friends family In Indiana.
Recently the FREE Pass has added
greatly 10 its interest and value by
espousing warmly tho cause OF tenn
perance, especially 'qocal option, in
Texas. Nothing no olovates either a
human being or q newspaper as an
ardent enthusiasm for a great cause.
This is a truism, we know, but one
that both men and newspapers are
too apt 10 forget and which therefore
should DO often repeated. The sue
cess OF the temperance movement in
Georgia seems 10 have afforded great
encouragement TO the friends OF this
cause in Texas, and. judging from
the position taken by the FREE Pass,
they are working with commendable
zeal and earnestness.
Among the many complimentary
notices which have recently been
given the FREE Press, We are peculi'
arly pleased with the above, which
We clip from the Journal, a paper
devoted TO the interests Of the Socie
ty Of Friends, and published in the
city of Philadelphia. Lest it should
be unreasonably disappointed by the
outcome of our local option election,
we wish to call the attention Of the
Journal to the fact that the condi-
ton of things here is rather ex-
ceptional, in view of the large negro
and Mexican element under control
Of the whiskey influence, and that
even with this drawback, a full and
fair vote would show q majority in
favor Of local option, while in the
State generally the advance Of tenn
perance ideas is very marked, though
o great work is yet to be done before
they shall become enthroned in the
laws Of the land.

ST.. Louis, June Goth, 1884.
To The EDITOR FREE PREss.-The
preliminary movement for the great
National convention was held here
this week in the Standard Theatre.
The delegates have been named
amidst harmony to be present at Chi
cago, July the 9th. The veterans OF
the party are here, and the scene yes
terday will never be forgotten. The
vast structure was filed to its utmost
capacity. The very mention of the
name of Tilden brought cheers and
applause that shook mother earth for
blocks around. This great mani
fear-cannot be our champion again.
In obedience to the order of nature,
he must rest his case where it is, and
be content with honors thick upon
him. Still the cry here is, "Tilden
long as he lives"
Your correspondent read the hang
ing in effigy of the Hon. Isaac H. Ju,
Ian at San Marcos to few friends this
week, and the comments of the press
thereon, to Col. I. G. McGinnis, the
champion of the brewers and liquor
dealers, and their we'll paid attorney,
who sprang to his feet and with angry
gesture said, "this is bad news and a
bad break, it is an outrage that will
cost us the votes and the support Of
many a good and valuable citizen"
Thank God, precious few of the law
abiding and hospitable people of San
Marcos and Hays county will indorse
the silly deed.
The repeated and tremendous
failures in New York are being felt
in St. Louis. Edwin Harrison and
other capitalists of the city are en-
barassed Money is fearfully tight
and local banks are insisting on large
discount. No telling where the de-
cline in stocks will end. Real estate
in the city is dropping and the inter
est on money is rising.
Mrs. Mary Stanton is dying and
her ante mortuum statement was Ia
ken by the authorities this morning.
She must die within day or two.
Your readers will remember that her
husband dashed a goblet of vitroil
in her face ten days ago. Well, Mr..
Stanton's defence will be, that he
was under the influence of liquor ct
the time. The moral!

The Gatesyille Advance says |:

II ia anything but creditable com
ment ON the enforcement Of Texas
law that gambling is allowed to 60 on
in every large city in the state. With
the recent decision Of the appellate
court before them officers have not q
shadow of excuse for not properly
enforcing the law. In this election
year the people should be sure that
the men for whom they vote will en-
force the law. Vote for honest,
efficient, sober men, and there will
be little left Of gambling and kindred
vices.
We commend the above to our
readers as sound advice. With the
right kind OF men in Office, crime in
all its forms will rapidly diminish.

A Noble Document.

Mr.. Tilden's letter is a noble utter
ance. There ia q tone OF dignity and
Of composure and OF patriotic states
manship about IL which ought 10 have
a SOLDERING and elevating influence
upon his party, and indeed upon the
country. The nomination and cleo
ton of Presidents awakens such
greed, lust of Office and low ambition
that il is eminently necessary and
sagacious 10 remind the country, AZ
Mr.. Tilden does, shat there il no
fundamentally in human society 30
potential in its influence upon man
kind for good or evil as the govern
mental machinery for administering
justice and for making and executing
laws" Mr.. Tilden's reference TO his
own career can only be offensive to
the most bitter partisan. His char
acterization of "the occasion and the
power sometimes bestowed on q mere
individual to communicate an Impulse
for good" as the "best gift ofheayen is
expressive of the insight Of an old
man who becomes more and more
the true seer as he imerges from the
activities of life upon the serene
heights where he closes his public
career and looks forward and back
ward with equal composure and with
the clearest intelligence to which he
ever attains.-TSpringfeld (Mass.)

The difficulty of uniting on a
candidate still impels the democratic
party to turn towards Tilden. 1t is
argued in many influential quarters
that as he did not say he would not
accept the nomination if rendered
him, that he might not refuse, and
that it ought at any rate to be unan-
imously rendered. This might prop
.erly enough be done, provided there
was a suitable provision made in case
of his refusal. While the FREE PRESS
yields to nobody in admiration of Mr..
Tilden, it fully concurs in his state
ment that no one man is essential to
the success of democratic principles.

IRON ANOTHER WASHINGTON LETTER.
In the important field of afirma-
tive legislation, the House has made
its best record in the passage OF bills
providing for the forfeiture OF nearly
7O,OOO,OOO acres Of railroad land
grants in Oregon, California, Aaizo-
m, New Mexico, Texas, Indian Ter
ritory, Missouri, Arkansas, MISSISSIPPI
pi, Alabama and Louisiana.
The House Committee on Foreign
Affairs has encountered rather knot
ty problem in the mysterious Senate
amendment to the consular and dip
lomatic appropriation bill, appropria-
ting $3.50, 200 to carry out the pro-
visions of the neutrality act. The
secret appropriation relates to the
settlement of the .Nicaraguan ques-
ton, and as the real causes for the
action Of the Secretary Of State in the
matter become known there is very
general sentiment of appreciation Of
his course. It seems from the best
sources of information that it came to
the knowledge Of the Department of
State, through one of the United
States representatives in Central
America, that two great powers (re-
ported to be Germany and England)
were quietly endeavoring to obtain
from Nicaragua q concession for the
purpose of either constructing ship
canal which should connect the two
oceans, or else the concession would
be held, and the United States thus
prevented from constructing such
work on it's own account, or by its
citizens, unless by the consent of the
powers referred to. This informa-
ton came SO directly that there SEEM
ed to be no doubt of its accuracy.
The State Department, for once
awaking to the necessity of immedi'
ate action, took such steps as it
deemed proper, and asked Congress
for a sum of money that could be
used to complete the preliminary ne
gotiation. The mysterious part OF
the matter is the use to which the
money asked for is to be put It is
likely the whole affair will be fully
developed in few days.

Straightened Out.

The article on the Tariff in our
last somehow got mixedby the print
er towards the close in making up so
as to be rather unintelligible; we
therefore correct and republish that
portion of the article below:
Some protectionists claim that the
pauperism of England is due to free
trade. If they live to see the United
States as densely populated as Eng
land is at present; or when our man
ufacturing and wool interests thrust
agriculture and stockraising into OBJ.
security; they will then behold pau
perism in its purest state upon their
own hearthstones.
Why is it that among the sixteen
million laborers of this country the
small proportion who are engaged in
the manufacture Of protected" art
icles are continually having trouble
with their employers concerning their
wages, and that the vast majority
who are engaged in unprotected en-
terprises are as q rule, in O highly
prosperous condition.
If Englands condition is alarming
with free trade, place q tax upon her
imports and the result would be fatal
Let England protect" her farmers
by placing tariff on breadstuffs-
one half of her population would
starve.
Does it seem a "free" country where
the masses must pay tribute to q
few of the rich simply because they
are engaged in the manufacture of
certain articles that are quite neces-
sary to the comfort of all
If an observing person will go to
Castle Garden, the principal cause of
of our future pauperism will at once
become apparent; he will readily an
ticipate what our laboring classes
will ere long, have to contend with.
II the tide of Chinese immigration had
not been checked it would have done
more to lower wages than a reduction
of the tariff could possibly have done.
If Its human to err" it must be
natural for a man who owns factory
or a few head of sheep to endedror to
delude the fifty millions Of people of
the United State into the belief that
a reduction of the tariff would create
a panic, and it is also very natural for
this same parsonage to ''look out for

The Black Waxy forcibly and truth
fully says:
The Dallas Mercury, one of the
most watchful papers in the state,
says that Buck Walton literature is
no worse than John D. Templeton,
the present incumbent of the attorney
generals office, who rents his proper
ty in Fort Worth for a gambling hell.
If the Mercury be right, then MIR.
Templeton should be requested to
stand aside to make room for some
man whose position would not allow
him to be hampered by obligations to
common law breakers. Texas wants
no men in office who ionize murder
ers, or furnish criminals q place to
ply their nefarious avocations. Re-
form is the word.
