ALEXANDRIA, VA
MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER %.

WHILE Mr.. RANDALL will be treated Oh
his present visit to the South Win a'' u.
proverbial hospitality of that seceioh' anu
wb;la Mr.. Watterson's assaults upon nin
ara condemned by men of all political opin-
ions IN that section, there is no doubt that
any attempt of his to make proselytes 10
his protective tariff ideas will be resiS'eu'
and must come to naught. The white peo-
nle of the South have just as good sense as
their Northern cousins, and all that tney
need to make them oppose a protective
tariff ia that they shall correctly understand
wbat that sort of tariff really is. Any effort
To mislead them on that subject will be
oounteracted at once. Now that the III
effs ,ts of protection have become 80 appar'
emf at the North that the people OF that
section are repudisting it, the Southern peo'
MIA certainly are not silly enough to adopt
it. The fact that practical iron manu-
facturer of Philadelphia has within the last
month made arrangements for expendlng
million dollars in the erection of iron WORKS
In Alabama shows plainly enough what
peculiar advantages the South has Tor tna1
industry. With revenue tariff only, all
the Northern iron manufacturers would be
compelled TO come South and avail! them
selves of these advantages in order to com
pete successfully with foreign manutactur'
ers. Nothing could be more conducive to
the welfare of every portion of the South
than the immediate abolition of the protec
tive tariff.

A Texas Row.

The town of Fort Mason, in Texas, oil
Christmas Day was the scene Of one Of the
most sangunary rows ever witnessed ther"
The participants were Joe Kyle, james
Guilford, Heach Light aud John Simmons
The original quarrel WAS between Lgh'
and Kyle. and began in Il breach Of pro,nis"
case several years ago. Kyle has siucr
made threats against Light, who, being Il
man Of fearless character, took 10 steps 10
avoid row, out rather courtcd il than
otherwise, riding frequently in kyle's neigh
borhood, and making no secret of the con
temp: in which he held his enemy's threats
On Thursday Light rode into town in CON
pany with two friends, James GuilfOrd and
John Simmons, oil heavily armed The
party htched their horses, made for the
nearest saloon, and began TO fill up. To-
ward evening Kyle rode in, hiiched his
horse, took Winchester from his saddle,
and went to q neighborng saloon.
Before dusk, when the Light party bad
started to their horses, with the Intention
of going home, Kyle stepped TO the door
Of his saloon, block down the street, and
saw them. He had his Winchester in hi>
bard. Guil(ord saw him, and said 10 Light
"!leuch, yonder's Kyle, and he is drunk
T.n.rc is going to be t~ou;'le. Lets ne oil. ="

Kyle advanced some eighty yards up the
street, carrying his gun in one hand and
holding stick in the other. He stopped
suddenly, dropped his stick, and shouting
"l'ye got you at last, Heach Light" put his
gun to his shoulder and fired.
The Light party had drawn their wca
pons and the ball opened. Kyle's first buI
let took effect in the shoulder OF Light
horse, and it fell. The fall of the animal
disconnected the party's aim, and his VIC
lent struggles dislod5ed them from their
hiding place. Kyle was struck twice, hui
he continued to empty his gun and stood
his ground. Light and his party poured
perfect rain of bullets in that direction from
their rifles and revolvers. Light was The

thigh. Guilford turned and walked halt
dozen steps and fell with ball through the
body, and Kyle, advancing toward his pros

back dead. Simmons mounted his horse
and rode a few yards down the street,
where he dismounted and surrendered to
the officers He was wounded in the
hand, and shot once through the coat and

When Kyle YVES picked up he was found
to have four wounds, one through the lleshy

Congressman w. w. Phelps, Rep
of New Jersey, has come 10 the front
as one of the most violent opponents
of legislation restricting railways.
He went so far as to say that if Con.
gress were to pass the Interstate law
the railr Dads would either ignore it
altogether, and thus clog the courts
with suits, or seek revenge by stopping
all traffic on their lines, and thu,
paralyze commerce. If the giant
railway corporations of the country
are more powerful than the Govern
ment of the United States it is time
the people knew it. And if that kind
of contest is TO come, it may just
as well come now as ever. We hope
such legislation as will be for the in
terest of the producing classes, and
yet not discriminating against any
just and legal rights of the railway
corporations, may be secured at this
session of Congress.

AVAUNT-MORMONISM

Ii is a sad mistake to look upon
the Mormon question as if it had ref
erence only to the government Of
Utah. for the fact is, that in pursuance
of the farsighted policy adopted years
ago by the leaders of the Mormon
church the neighboring States and
territories have been so industriously
colonized that the Mormon influence
in them is looming up as an impor
tant political factor. In the nexI
Congress the delegate elected from
Utah will have the company of a
Mormon delegate elected from Idaho.
who owes his political advancement
to very natural combination Of the
Mormon and Democratic vote. H.
Wyoming the Mormons are yer,
strong; in Nevada they have flourish
ing colonies, as, also, in Colorado;
and in Arizona they number abou'
5000, and are extending their col
ones with all possible dispatch.
In Arizona it appears as though
the people are awaking to the peril
involved in the existence Of these
Mormon colonies, for within a few
weeks one of the U. S. Courts in that
territory, presided over by Hon. Sum
ner Howard, late Speaker Of the
Michigan House of Representatives.
has convicted and sentenced to va.
rious terms of imprisonment five
polygamsts, one of whom was
Mormon bishop. In Colorado and
Nevada the existence Of State gov.
eminent precludes any interference
by Congress, but if the people Of
those States have any regard for the
security of the homes in their midst,
and which constitute the glory of our
free institutions, they will promptly
bestir themselves to suppress the
polygamous colonies, and prevent
them from attaining political pow
er which would certainly be used for
strengthening the Mormon hierarchy.
But in Wyoming, Idaho and Arizona,
as well as in Utah, the polygamists
must be dealt with by the Federal
courts, and the Mormon power has
already reached such proportions
that it cannot be longer safely tenn
ported with. The convictions for
polygamy already had in Utah and
Arizona should be followed by other
vigorous prosecutions, not only in
these, but in the other States and
territories where Mormon colonies
exist. Polygamy is unqrestionably
spreading and strengthening itself,
and if 1t is not courageously dealt with
it will soon be so entrenched, not
only in Utah, but in half dozen
other territories and States, that it
can with impunity set at defiance the
laws, in both the States ard in the
Nation. The spirit of Mormonism
is, in its essence, the spirit of disloy-
atty. The Mormon leaders to-day
acknowledge no allegiance to the
Federal Government; on the contrary
they denounce it openly as the en-
bodiment oftyranny. The continued
growth and power of the Mormon
church ale a menace not only to
good morals, but to the existence Of
the Government. To restrain the
Mormon hierarchy and to annihilate

The Michigan Argonaut is a weekly

University at Ann Arbor. BY way
of showing what they can do, the
editors have just issued what they call
Double Holiday Number, which
would really be creditable to them if
they were professional newspaper men
instead of bows in college. 1t is a
twenty four page, three column paper,
with very heavy cover. The last
eight pages are advertisements. The
first nine are filled with original
stories and poems, every one ofmerit
sufficient to insure Its acceptance by
many ambitious journals. The other
seven pages are filled with editorials,
news items, ETC., of less interest to
outsiders, perhaps, but. Of course, not

whole paper is very interesting as
showing what college boys are capable

CURE FOR DIPHTHERIA.

Ruth Lockwood, the nine year old
child of 'rhos Lockwood, a compos
itor in the New York Times office,
became violently Ill with diphtheria
little while ago. She was so weak that
il was deemed dangerous TO try trach-
eotomy, or cutting open the windpipe.
A day or two before, DR.. Nichols, Of
1T West Washington place, who was
attending her, r, ceived copy Of the
Paris Figaro, which contained re
port made to the French Academy of
Medicine by DR.. Dellhil. DR.. Delthil
said that the vapors Of liquid tar and
turpen,iie would dissolve the fibrin-
Gus exudalions which choke up the
throat in Group and diph,heria. DIR.
Delihil's process was described. He
pours equal parts Of turpentine and
liquid tar into tin pan or cup and
sets fire 10 the mixture. A dense,
resinous smoke arises, which obscures
The air of the room. "'rhe patient"
DR.. Delthil says, Immediately seems
TO experience relief; the choking and
rattle stop; the patient falls into
sumber and seems to inhale the
smoke with pleasure. The fibrinous
membrane soon becomes detached.
and the patient coughs up microbicid
es. These, when caught in glass,
may be seen tc dissolve in the smoke.
In the course of three days afierward
The patient entirely RECEIVERS.
DR.. Nichols tried this experiment
successfully with little Ruth Lock
wood. She was lying gasping for
breath when he visited her. First
pouring abont two tablespoonfuls Of
liquefed tar on an iron pan, he pour
ed as much turpentine over it and set
it or fire. The rich resinous smoke
which rose to the ceiling was by no
means unpleasant. As it filed the
room the chlld's breathing became
natural, and as the smoke grew dense
she fell asleep.-Ex.
