The Six Reereant Southern Demo

Washington Post
The six Southern Democrats who voted
with Mr. Randall 10 betray the Democratic
party into the hands Of the Republicans,
seem likely to be rudely called to account
by those who believe the tariff needs to be
reformed and revamped. In the Sixth
Alabama District one Of these six, John NJ.
Martin, has been shelved and Mr. Bank
head nominated in his stead. Mem
esis also has an eye on Mary

L. Findlay has been similarly put in
dry-doek, for loving an oppressive tariff
not wisely but too we'll. During the long
vacation from the sorrows and trials of
public life that is before him, he win have

GENERAL BRAGG has been defeated
in his attempt to secure denomination
for Congress by the Democrats of the
Second Wisconsin district He is the
bright particular Bragg who declared in
the Chicago convention that he loved
Governor Cleveland for the enemies that
he had made. This foolish utterance.
though much commended by the Mug
wump press, was one of the most serious
of the causes that came near defeating
Mr. Cleveland in this State. General
Bragg has been caught in making a DO.
litical bargain and then breaking it, and
he is not so shining light in reform
circles as he was. He is disposed toward
sensational utterances and has in times
past made himself unpleasantly conspic-
uous by his denunciations of the South
ern people. He can probably be spared.

YhItworth College A Statement

surprised lately TO learn that number OF
persons entertained wrong impressions "a
regard to "Whitworth College property

1t is a sad task for US 10 put this matter
before the public, bat believing as We do
that il is a duty We owe his memory, se
can only pray our friends TO take 1t IN the

sorrowful undertaking TO place thls before
the public. it would be still more painful
TO allow the impression 10 remain that the

There appeared in the columns OF the

writer for the kind words, but at The same
time wish TO correct a few statements

remain in the Brown House" our home,
at least for one year; but II having been
suggested that il would be difficult 20 get
President without a house Tor himself and
family. we con ented TO the removal.
As the writer states iu the above men
toned article, we supposed we were paying
the mortgage Though We expected TO pay
it in another way by remaining when We
gave up the house. The writer theu says:
III occurs to US that this mortgage Is
debt of honor to the Methodist church,
We again thank the writer for this sen-
tence But we, the family, consider this
o,tr sdebt of honor" and when the party
holding the mortgage returns we expect 10
pay every cent, leaving the 'Centennial

our many friends, both OF this and adj0in-

To the Board OF Trustees, in whose care
we were left, and Yho are faithful to the

have selected TO fill the vacant chair. The

IT is the special mission of the United
States revenue steamer Corwin to guard
the coasts of Alaska for the purpose of
preventing depredstions upon the seal
skins for which that inhospitable region
is particularly noted. Recently, acting
under instructions, the com mander of
the Corwin seized some Britiah schooners
which were found freighted with fur
and sealskins in Alaskan waters sixty or
one hundred miles from land Over
these waters the laws of the United
States relating TO customs, commerce
and navigation are extended, the boun-
diaries being defined, end waters of the
Territory coded to the United States by

1t is alleged that the act of the Corwin
is violation of international law, and
will give rise to serious controversy
between the United States and England.

by the Cincinnati Enquirer, in which he
replies to some of the charges made
against the Democratic party in the
platform recently adopted by the Ohio

is succinct and clear statement of
some of the reforms which have been
accomplished under President Cleve-

ing paragraph is especially worthy of
consideration, as it contains the Demo

OF course we do not expect that such

enunciatJr of true Democratic princi-

Democratic House and voices the senti-

Democratic authority by the masses.
