Fierce RepubIicans.

Asarule the bitterest Republicans in
the South are those who at one time were
Democrats. Why this is so is not easy &c
explain, except on the theory that they
fear that their sincerity will be ques-
toned by both Democrats and Republi.
cans. and to prevent anything Of that
kind they think it necessary to be ex,
tremeIy fierce in the profession of their
new faith.
About the iercest and noisiest Republi-
can in the South now, is Gen. Chalmers,
of Mississippi, although his Republican,
ism is not very old. He is small man
physically, but for the past two years he
has made noise enough to attract the at
tentiOn of the whole country. The bill he
offered day or two ago to restore a re-
publican form Of government in Missis-
suppl was intended of course to
secure for him a chance to attack
the Democrats OF Mississippi for defeat
ing him for Congress. He assumes, OF
course. that his defeat was due to ballot
box stuffing. The truth, doubtless, is
that he was beaten because the people of
his Congressional district didn't want his
services any longer.
1t is remarkable that such leading col
ored Republicans of Mississippi as Bruce
and Lynch are satisfied with the way
elections are conducted in that State, if
what Gen. Chalmers says is true. 1t is
probable, however, that the testimony OF
Republicans like Bruce and Lynch will
be accepted by the country in preference
to that of Gen. Chalmers. They are not
anxious to have the form Of government
Of Mississippi changed. 1t suits them
very well as it is. Their Republicanism,
however, isn't the bitter sort that Chal-
mers' is.

About the Whistles.

The talk which number Of citizens had
yesterday with the committee of the City
Council which has charge of the petition
asking that something be done to abate
the steam whistle nuisance will, it is
thought, have the effect of causing a fa-
vorable report to be made on the petition.
1t is certainly to be hoped that it will.
and that the Council will pass an ordl-
nance promptly to regulate the whistles.
OF course, all the wild talk that if the
whistles are not kept footing and screech-
ing in a way to annoy very large part
Of the population of the city, grass will
grow in the streets and the town will go TO
the ''demnition bow wOws,p is sheer nom
sense. The town will be as prosperous
without the noise OF the whistles as with
it. The prosperity OF the city doesn't de-
pend on the whistles.
There are occasions when there is reason
for blowing whistles, and nobody win find
fault if they are blown on such occasions.
What is complained Of is the constant,
unnecessary and prolonged whistling, and
that, too, at times when it is the most
annoying.
The people who are annoyed by the
whistles have rights that ought to be
respected as well as those who own the
whistles. Unnecessary whistling serves
no good purpose. Why, then. not abolish
it, The manager Of one Of the rail

The Nicaragua Treaty.

The chief interest in Congressional
matters this winter centres in the lately
NEGOTIATED treaties. Some of the features
of the Nicaragua treaty have been made
public. The United States agrees to con-
struct ship canal, as soon as the work
| can reasonably be done, across the terri
tory of Nicaragua from GreytOwn, on the
Atlantic coast, to the harbOr of BritO, on
the Pacific coast, by way of the San
Juan river and Lake Nicaragua. The
| government of Nicaragua comedies and
grants to the United States not only the
right-Of-way for the canal, but also strip
of territory three miles wide on either
side of the line of the proposed canal.
The United States is to have the right to
build forts and do whatever else it may
deem necessary for the protection of the
canal on this six miles strip. Nicaragua
is to have police jurisdiction over it. One
half of the tolls received from the canal
is to 90 to Nicaragua. The advantages of
the canal to Nicaragua viii be the tolls
and the improvement of her territory.
The advantage to this country, outside of
that which arises from commerce, viii be
the control of so important work.
1t is stated that enough money was
raised by the company which held the
concession for this Nicaragua canal to
do sufficient work to save the concession,
but that this government announced its
purpose to interfere and prevent the
company from attempting any work. 1t
was then that the Nicaraguan Government
n aonaaeEinr n tho
United States. 1t is also stated that it
was for the purpose Of purchasing the
concession held by this company that the
$3.50, coo was wanted by the State Depart
ment last winter, and about the request
for which there was so much speculation.
The treaty, while it may meet the APP
prevail of the Senate, is certain to have
strong opposition. The general senti-
ment in this country is, doubtless, that
no European power ought to be allowed
to exercise control over any great under
taking on this continent, and as
the proposed Nicaragua canal is
to be exclusively under the
jurisdiction of the United States it
will meet with a great deal of favor on
that account. twill be questioned, how
ever, whether il is good policy for the gov
eminent to undertake work on foreign
territory which will cost at least $4,000
and to accept territory in a foreign State.
There is possibility also that the treaty
NAV lead to complications with European
powers. However, in view Of the infor-
nation that France is preparing to take
control of Panama, and in that way exer-
else absolute control over the proposed
Panama canal, the ratification of the Mic
aragua treaty may be deemed advisable.

Onening of the Exposition

The great Worlds Fair and Industrial
Exposition at New Orleans was yester-
day opened under extremely favorable
auspices. The city was dressed In holt
day attire, the weather was pleasant and
the enthusiasm was unbounded. The
President, at Washington, surrounded by
leading members of each branch OF the
government and the representatives OF
foreign governments, played his part IN
the programme almost. as well as II
he had been present. The differ
ent States, the National Government
and foreign governments were well
represented at New Orleans. The South
expects much from this exposition, and
there is every reason to think that her
expectations will be realized. The at
tendance will not be large, probably, until
after the holidays, but soon after that
period the tide of travel will set toward
New Orleans, and from then until the
close of the fair the Crescent City will
have all she can do to provide for her
guests. 1t is well, probably, that few
weeks will elapse before the rush begins,
because there is much yet to be done be-
fore everything will be in place.

Tun Policies

The opposition to the spanish treaty
appears 10 be growing in strength. Mr..
Foster, who negotiated it, is doing what
he can to secure a favorable cOnsidera-
ton Of it, but he fails to show that it isn't
a One-sided affair. Even free traders
like Frank Hurd doubt the advisability
of ratifying it. Mr.. Hurd is in favor OF
almost anything that looks towards free
trade, but he is not at all enthusiastic
with respect TO this treaty. He looks
upon sugar as a revenue article, and
thinks that as our revenue must be de-
rived almost wholly from imports, sugar
ought to be one Of the very last articles
put upon the free list.
The revenue refOrmers don't like the
treaty, because it will postpone and prob
ably prevent a general reduction Of the
tariff. If it is ratified the effect will be to
strengthen a number Of great mOnOpolfes
which have grown up under the present
protective tariff policy.
1t is rather remarkable that the eX-
tTeme prOtectiOnists have not up to the
present spoken in favor of the treaty.
It's ratification would stop all tariff agi-
tation for several years. There would be
no surplus revenue, and Of course there
could not possibly be any reduction OF the
tariff.
The negotiation of the Mexican treaty
was the starting point of a new policy for
getting our goods into foreign markets.
The Hawaiian treaty cannot be said to
occupy that place because that treaty was
based on patriotic sentiment rather than
on the idea of extending our trade. The
Hawaiians had sympathized strongly with
| the North in the war between the States,
and those who were mainly instrumental
in securing the negotiation and ratifca'
| ton of the treaty desired to show appre.
citation of that sympathy.
The Spanish treaty is in the same line
as the Mexican treaty. Those who adyO
cate this treaty policy do not propose Il
stop with those two treaties. Their plar
includes similar treaties with all the
South American countries.
The two policies for securing a foreign
market for our products are now plainly
outlined. One is to make reciprocal trea
ties with all countries which have neeC
for our manufactures, and in that way
secure such advantages as will enable u:
to underseI other countries. The Other
is to so reduce our tariff as to enable oul
manufacturers to compete with Other
countries in foreign markets. 1t is fol-
| Congress to decide which is the better
policy. There is much to be said in favor
OF each, but there is not much reason tC
doubt that the decision will be in favor o.
the tariff reform policy.

Free Trade in Spots.

the Mexican and Spanish treaties are adopted
and carried on to their legitimate conclusion
free trade will become the controlling policy

but the forerunners OF others, and that upon

imply and what they propose to effect is
mutual free trade, and the policy of prOtec-

The South Need Not Demand.


So that while it might be "immaterial" to
the South, in one sense, to have no place in
the Cabinet, it would be matter of very
great consequence in another and entirely
lust sense-quite as much so as though the
conditions were reversed. and the North in
stead of the South excluded from recognition.
But the South will not need to insist upon a
fair acknowledgment of her political services
or of her relative place in the Union; and we
must say it looks a little like afectatiOn to
protest against it. 1t is question that may
safely be left to the broad and practical mind
