Stimulated by the example set by the gen.
erals OF the North. the surviving leaders of
| the Southern Confederacy have inaugurated
a campaign of criticism against each other.
The most notable instance is the recently
published criticism of Gen ROBERT TooArBs
on JEFFERSON DAVIS, in which the former
depreciates the military and statesmanlike
qualities of the latter. TooMBS thinks that
JEFF DAVIS forte was ''review writing"
and that he would have made more sue
cesstul magazine writer than he did a states
man or soldier ToOMBs and DAVIS are
historic characters and We're more promi-
nently identified with the secession move
ment than any other two men now living.
The opinion held by either of the other is a
matter OF interest. yet OF no special value.
Between them TooMBs and DAVIS man
aged 10 give the country a good deal of
trouble, and if TooMBs thinks that
he deserves credit for the princi-
pal part Of the mischief that
was done DAVIS ought to be willing TO let
him shoulder it. Yet TooMBs will have an
uphill work convincing the public that
DAVIS doesn't deserve a proper share of
the responsibility. 1t was the misfortune
OF the South that either TooMBs or DAVIS
was in an influential position when sectional
trouble arose. 1t would have been better
Tor the southern section of the Union if
neither IooNIBs nor DAVIS had been born.
why either OF them should want to parade
himself before the country at this time
is mystery. The Southern people have
no In -
the less they have to say of each other the
better for both of them.
The next distinguished Confederate critic
IS Gen. JOE JOHNSTON. who thinks that
STONEwALL JACKSON has been overrated.
JOHNSTON says that JACKSON was a mod
erately good brigade or division COM
mander. but beyond that had no
merit as military leader. He thinks
that JACKSON had no genius for com
manding armies. Gen. LEES estimate of
JACKSON was quite different. for when the
latter lay on his deathbed LEE sent him a
letter in which he stated that the Southern
cause could better afford TO lose him than
! JACKSON. The soldiers who win battles
are the ones who are famous in history. If
Gen. JOHNSTON had developed some of
JACKSoN's genius for winning battles he
would have added greatly 10 his own mill
tary fame. and his criticisms would have
been received with better grace Gen.
JOHNSTON was conceded to be- great strate-
glst, but It Is no disparagementt to his claims
to military distinction to say that in after
ages JACKsoN's name will be remembered
when JOHNsroN's is forgotten. 1t would
be better for all Of these surviving leaders
OF the lost cause to permit their late COM
rades to rest in peace. Let the dead past
bury its dead.

A few Republican journals are rubbing
their hands with glee because two promi-
nent Eastern Democrats are found among
those who are interested in the cattle leases
IN the Indian Territory. These gleeful
newspapers seem TO overlook the fact that
the Democratic party possesses the rare
virtue of turning its own rascals out Just as
promptly as it does the rascals of the oppO-
sition. This is something that twenty years
OF continuous rule failed TO develop in the
Republican party. But when Democratic
administration raids a gang of government
swindlers it bags the bunch. The Demo-
cratic party is no respecter of persons when
it gets down to the work of reforming the
government.

The Tariff Broken.


CHICAGO. Aug. 13.-The pressure was
Just little more than the Chicago roads
could bear, and to-day the break cams
There had been preliminary SYMPTOMS for "A
day or two, but cutting did not become
general until to-day, when there was a
scramble for business. There were two in
citing causes. st. Louis has been thorn
In the flesh ever since the restoration of
the tariff, having paid but little attention
to 1t. Now the new oat crop begins to
move, and there is q prospect of an in
creased tonnage, as the yield is excellent
and the demand sufficient to create a move
ment. Back of this was the fact that ST.
Louis had been offering shippers for the
past two days to contract for the transport
tatlon OF grain to New York
at II cents per 100 pounds. BOs-
1513cents. The Chicago tariff is off from
% cents to cents per 100 pounds. and
quite large amount of grain has been
taken at those figures. One road took 100
carloads at 10 cents. Another transaction.
involving $1,000 bushels of oats. was re-
corded, and numerous five and ten carload
lots were forwarded at Is cents. 1t was
taken for granted that Is cents is the pre-
vailing rate, although some shippers are ask
ing for Ii cents. AS this was the
day for the meeting of members of the
Central Traffic association in New York.
this little lapse into the old rut was quite
appropriate. 1t will give those gentlemen
an opportunity to do some more resolving,
and the managers of st. Louis roads will
have a chance to explain why that has been
the only point that has failed to make an
honest effort to sustain the tariff

THERE is somebody in Minneapolis who Is
evidently an enemy TO that city. he is en-
gagged in sending out specials TO the Chicago
papers representing that the people of Min
neapous are in the pouts because the state
fair is TO be held within the limits of St Paul,
and that they are going 10 '.get mp a fair on
their Own hook, for the purpose of eclipsing
the ST. Paul show" The fair 10 be held be-
tween thct two cities is a state enterprise, and
one in which all the people of the state are in
terested, regardless Oflocality. That the fair is
going 10 be 4 brilliant success is now assured
beyond all possibility Of doubt. That it Is
going TO be the grandeSt affair of the kind
ever held in the state is also settled. Each
citizen of Minnesota has an equal interest in
the enterprise an il is going TO receive. as it
deserves the good will of all Such sensa-
tlonal stun IS is sent out TO the Chicago
papers will do the fair no harm. but does in
justice and positive injury TO the people of
our twin sister.

OID AND Tough.

The Chicago Tribune'S startling ru-
NOR that the Rock Island road had Swal-
lowed up the Northern Pacific is such an
old chestnut that it is not reliShed by even
the Chicago people. Similar startling M
mors" have been floating out from Chicago
with such wonderful regularity and FREE
quency that they have ceased to have any
startling effect. When the Northern Pa
ciiie gets ready to rope in the Rock Island
and few other Illinois railroads mention
OF the fact will be made in the GLOBE.
Until The announcement is made by US
those who feel an interest i'm railroad mat
tiers would do well To keep their nerves in a
quiet condition and not be excited by sen
sational articles in the Chicago newspapers.
If ChicagO's ambition was 10 be gTatified
the earth would have to be enlarged. What
Chicago will actually get will be a very
small portion of il. With New York on
one side and st. Paul on the other Chicago's
equilibrium is going to be preserved i'll

THEENGLIsH DEMAGoGUE.

Whether his American wife is to blame
for it or not it is quite evident from Lord
RANDOLPH CHURcHLL's speech at VIM
borne that he is as much OF a smOoth-tongued
demagogue as the average American RRli-
tician. His harangue about the tax on the
poor mans beer would have sounded well
enough coming from an Illinois congress-
man, but it is not what the public is pre-
pared to hear from member of the English
cabinet, body which is supposed to en-
body all the dignity OF earth. 1t is very
clear, however, that Mrs. CHURCHILL lacks a
very important experience in American
politics or she would never have per-
mitted her husband to have made an
attack on the newspapers. If her
