Tie Sins of Fathers.

A Dakota judge in the course of
his charge to the jury recently,
touched on an important point.
He said:
although the prosecution has
established the fact that defend
ants father was once a member of
the legislature, this should have
no influences with you in bringing
in your verdict. The unfortunate
affair in the life of his father might,
of course, make US look with sus-
picion on the family, but at the
same time it really proves nothing
against the defendant, as he may
as deeply deplore the conduct OF
his paternal relative as any of US. !"

The Monroe Oil Mill has been
receiving machinery. Nine carloads
or ittleover half the freight has
been received. The bill will be
over $1,000. Eight car loads cost
for freight, s1.975, or S247 car,
which is nearly as much as sec
ond hand car is worth, unless it is
in very good order. The railroad
Co., evidently thought they would
not get another chance at an Oil

Astounding.

The esteemed Pascagoula Democrat |
Star says that the following paragraph |
copied from an editorial which appeared
in The CLARION is astounding:
OF all the States which have undertaken
to regulate and control railroads by Com
mlsslons-twenfy-six in number-ln Mis-
sissippi alone is there any clamor for their
abolition. Why is this Simply because
the Commission is now undergoing in this
State the ordeal to which the Commissions
of all the other States have been subjected.
Ii may seem now that the railroads will
triumph. If they shall, it will be against
all precedent.
"We are only surprised that our es-
teemed contemporary is not better post
ed, says the Democrat Star, and then II
reminds US of the fact that the anti
supervision Democrats of Tennessee
combined with the Republicans and de-
feated the Democratic nominees for
the office Of railroad commissioner in
that State, and elected, instead Of them,
Republicans pledged not to execute the
law. II LuItASI IcuAAnOo uS SAnN sA0
supervision law was repealed in 1875 by
Democratic Legislature. The fact Is,
though our esteemed contemporary does
not say so, that the repeating act was
passed over the veto of Governor Bate
by two-thirds majority.
1t has been so long since there was
any clamor for the repeal of the super.
vision law in Tennessee that we did not
think of it in connection with the state
ment which is characterized as "astound
ing" There is now no clamor for re-
peal in Tennessee; because since the
combination of the anti supervision
Democrats in that State with the Re
publicans, the supervision Democrats
who are largely in the majority in th'
party organization, have been forced Il
yield their convictions or run the grea
risk of having the party defeated. 1t il
in Tennessee in reference to railroad
supervision, as if the Prohibitionists il
Mississippi who are Democrats, has
joined with the Republicans in opposing
Democratic nominees who were not Pro
hibitionists
In Tennessee, as in Mississippi anC
elsewhere, especially in the Southern
r States, nearly every consideration ha
| been subordinated to party success, AM
so, when party success was threatene'
: in Tennessee by the combination be
2 tween the anti-supervisionists and tn
: Republicans, Supervision had to go.
But we do not understand that wha
occurred in Tennessee has any strength
as a reason for the abolition of the Com
mission in Mississippi, nor do we under
3 stand that our respected contemporar
would endorse similar methods in Mi;
sissippi.
When the question which was settle
adversely to the supervision Democrat
of Tennessee, shall be presented to tn
Democratic party of Mississippi, W
shall be prepared to discuss it. "Suff
cient unto the day." ETC., etc.

Il is gratifying to note that the South
was so well represented. Thus an OPP
portunity is offered to demonstrate that
in fealty TO the Constitution and patri-
otism for the Union the South is hand
in hand with the rest of the States. The
occasion is one replete with possibilities
for good. The event to be celebrated is
the birth of the grandest form of gov
eminent the world has yet produced
As was well said by Mr.. Green, our rep
resentative at the meeting of the Com
mission, foreign governments are based
upon the principle of force; in ours
force is eliminated as far as possible
and Its foundation is, based upon the pa
triotism of the people" If patriotism
falters, the Union weakens. Let u

The Faithless TWenty.Slx.

The motion of Mr.. Morrison that the
House go into the Committee of the
Whole on the State of the Union, for
the consideration of revenue bills made
on Saturday last was lost by the follow
ing vote; Yeas, 149; nays, 154
This action on the part of the House
is heralded throughout the country as
the defeat of Mr.. Morrison and Mr..
Morrison's bill. Would that were all of
it. But it is not. 1t is the defeat of
the efforts of the revenue reformers to
have needed laws passed at this session
OF Congress.
On the motion twenty-six Democrats
voted in the negative. OF these New
York contributed (Bliss, Merriman,
Muller, Spriggs and Stahlnecker), Penn
sylvania Boyle, Curtin, Ermentrout,
Randall and Sowden), Ohio 7 (Foran,
Geddes, Lefevre, Seney, Warner, VIII
kins and CampbelD, Louisiana Gay,
Irion, ct. Martin and Wallace), New
Jersey 2 Green and McAdoo). Illinois .
(Lawler and Ward), Alabama / Mar
TIM.
The only Republican votes cast in
favor of the motion came from Massa-
chusetts and Minnesota-Hayden and
Stone of the former State and Nelson,
Strait, Wakefield and White, of the
latter.
OF all the big fools in Congress there
are none so foolish as to deny that there
are urgent reasons for the reduction of
the surplus annually gathered into the
United States Treasury, reckoned now
at one hundred millions of dollars. If
it were not a crime against the tax
payers, to rob them annually of this
vast sum under the forms of law, it
would still be unwise and imprudent to
hoard it in the Treasury, since its with
drawal from use by the people will work
a contraction of our currency, which
the country cannot stand, and its acces-
sibility while in the Treasury win sug
gest all sorts of extravaganza.
The Democrats who in this matter
have been faithless to their party may
have been true to their constituency
but we do not believe it.
The demand for tariff legislation was
never stronger than now, and we have
the comfort of believing that it viii not
be long before we will have Congress
that will, at least, make some patient
effort to relieve the people from the
yoke Of the Protectionist barons.

Professional Drill Exhibitors.

The following reference to the Ma
tional Drill at Washington next May,
which we find in the Philadelphia
Ledger, contains a suggestion that we
endorse as well as misstatement that
We desire to correct. We agree with
the Ledger that cit viii be necessary to
divide the militiamen into two classes,
professional and amateur" and for
the reason stated but il Is a well known
tact that there are no professional
drill exhibitors who earn their living
by attending shows and winning large
money prizes"
Great preparations are being made for
a National Drill" at Washington next
May, which is intended to bring together
representative military companies from all
parts OF the Union, incite emulation and
friendly competition and lead to a closer
organization of the militia OF the several
States Washington, with its magnificent
streets for display, would certainly be
made very attractive by such an encamp-
ment, and the applications already received
show that there is no difficulty about get
ting the soldiers to join in the enterprise
Nine regiments, seven batteries and sixty
seven separate companies, representing
twenty different States, have expressed an
intention of joining in the display. There
Is one drawback to the success Of the en-
terprise which may be avoided in the rules
governing competitive drills In the West
and South drilling has become regular
business. There are companies whose
members have no other business; they are
professional drill exhibitors, who earn
their living by attending shows and win
nlng large money prizes. In the East we
nave no such organizations, and our anna
teur National Guardsmen, who drill only
during leisure hours, could not hope to
compete with these professionals, although
they are certainly just as good soldiers for
actual service. AS in boaE-racing, cricket
and other sports, it will be necessary to
iIvide the militiamen into the two classes,
professional and amateur or the latter
will be driven FROM competition, and the
very purpose of the drill defeated. 1t is
not the few money-making "hippodromeo
companies that need encouragement, but
hose whose members, after earning their
wings In ordinary labors, give their spare
line IN the evenings to the service of the
State.
