The Morrison Bill.

We occasionally come across a
Mississippi newspaper which seems
10 he edited in the interest of East
ern monopolies. To such we desire
to say that the passage of the Nor
rison bill would not have affected
manufactures in this State, aud
that for this declaration we have
the authority of the manager of one
of the largest, if not the largest cot
ton factory in the South. Put this
in your pipe and smoke it, ClaT
ion.
And we occasionally come across
Mississippi newspaper which
seems to be edited in the interest OF
the manufacturers of Great Britain
and the millionaires of the United
States. To such we will say that
while the passage of the Morrison
bill might not have affected the
manufactures already in existence
in this State, it would certainly
have operated as check To the es-
tablishment of other manufactures.
II the manager of the largest cotton
factory in the State contemplated
the erection of a new factory, NO
doubt he would be anxious to have
the protective tariff continued, and
more especially so if the State o.
Mississippi did not exempt factory
property from taxation for a mum,
Der of years, thus iDflicting greater
burdens on other taxpayers. Th'
big factory at Wesson, for instance
was not inaugurated by its presen
owners. Col. Wesson, who begnl
the enterprise, struggled along IN

And then the beautiful Morriso
bill affected other interests beside

and newsp apers tell US they are j

And he Sold him for 80 Pieces of
Silver.

Some 1900 years ago, Judas Is
CARROT betrayed his Master for 80
pieces of silver, and all down the
ages his name has been a synonym
OF dlshonor. Perhaps injustice has
been done the memory of Judas by
this universal verdict of mankind.
Judas doubtless justified his act by
a eonrse of seasoning entirely sat
isfactory to himself. lie doubtless
thought his business would be in
jured if he refused.
He would not only lose the good
will and trade OF the Pharsees,. but
what was worse still, he would lose
that so pieces of silver.
He thought as long as Christ had
to be betrayed he had as well do il
as anybody. 1t is true that Judas
much preferred that nobody would
commit such deed, but as long a.
somebody would do il, il had as well
be he as auybody.-Not that hs

Facts About the Presidents.

Mr.. Cleveland will be the twenty
second President OF the country. or
the Presidents seventeen were elect
ed and four-Tyler, Fillmore, John
son and Arthur-succeeding to the
office from the Vice-Presidency.
Thomas jefferson and John Quincy
Adams were elected by the House
of Representatives in default of an
election by the Electoral College,
and r. b. Hayes was declared
elected by the commission selected
to decide the disputed election of
1876. Seven of the Presidents
Washington, Jefferson, Madison,
Monroe, Jackson, Lincoln and
Grant-were elected a second time.
Gen. Grant was the youngeet of
the Presidents when inuagurated,
being AT; Pierce and Garfield were
40; Polk and Fillmore so; Tyler 81;
Lincoln 81; Van Buren and TAYLOR
55: Washington and johnson 81;
Jefferson. Madison and John Quincy
Adams 5S: Monroe SO; John Adams
and Jackson 81; Buchanan &c; Har-
rison 6S. Garfield died the Young
est, not having reached his fiftie h
birthday; Polk was 81 at his death;
Lincoln Sc; Pierce 65; Taylor &c;

The honor of furnishing Presi-
dents has not been evenly attributed
among the States, Virginia, Massa.
chusetts, Tennessee, New York,
Louisiana, New Hampshire, Penn
sylvania and Illinois, furnishing all
the incumh hents so far. Cleveland
will be the third President from
New York-Van Buren, and Arthur
being his predecessors.
1t is somewhat remarkable that
no member of the United States
Senate should ever have been elected
to the Presidency at the time OF
his incumbency. Disregarding the
fact that experience in this body
ought to fit q man for the high office
the people have ignored the Sena-
tors. The army has furnished a
large number of Presidents, and,
with the exception of Hancock, Me
Clellan and Scott, no military man
nominated to the office has ever fail
ed of an election.
Washington owed his elevation
to his success in the field; Jackson's
success in the war of 1872 was the
wave which lifted him into the
White House, anil Harrison, Tyler,
Pierce, Grant, HAYES and Garfield
wore the epaulets of a General be-
fore they were honored with the
Chief Magistracy of the Nation.
There are now two ex-Presidents
living-Grant and Hayes-and

will make third-Baltimore Her.

money in it.

from the following incident
Caiaphas. the high-priest, was
getting up a petition to sell whisky
in Jerusalem under drug license
He approaches Judas, who signs it.
The petition to the Hon. Board
of Mayor and Aldermen is published
IN one of the city papers, and when
Peter, James and John see the
name of Judas on it they are struck
dumb with surprise and mortifica-
tion.
They examine the petition and see
that Caiaphas has majority of only
10 of the registered votes of Jcrusa
lem, and they think the petition
should be defeated.
Peter draws up a counter petition
and starts around the square TO Sc
cure signatures.
Drunkards sign it.
Men with no church connexion
sign it.
Peter thinks certainly Judas will
give his name and influence. To
Judas he goes and unfolds his plan.
Judas promptly answers No. He is a
good temperance man-wishes there
was not a drop Of whisky in all
Judea.
If you will get up a petition, he
says, to put it out of the whole coun-
try,I will sign it. There is no use to
stop Caiaphas from selling it, while
Pontius Plate and Marcus Agrippa,
right across the street, sell it. No!
stop them all and am with you;
and remember Caiaphas does not
wish to open retail doggery, 6nt a
respectable drug store-a gilded
palace of sin.
Peter goes on to explain that he
intends to stop them all but they
must be dealt with one by one.
Well, he replies, l do not believe
in stopping it here in Jerusalem
while they sell it right up the rail
road 20 miles there at Jericho and
over here at Bethlehem.
1t is true a great many will be
killed as result, jails will be filled
innocent youth debauched, the bony
fingered skeleton of starvation will
walk our streets hand in hand with
gaunt despair; mothers hearts be
wrung, and gray haired sires brought
down to death in sorrow for a sons
disgrace.
Souls will go to hell-But we will
make money. Murder trials will
cost the tribes immensely but we here
in Jerusalem will do a staying bust
