There are Democratic newspapers
which are not enamOred of Mr.. Nor.
rison's tariff bill, and the Atlanta
Constitution is one of them:
The simplest minded person in the
world need not he told that such bill
as Morrison has introduced is not. in
any sense of the word. real tariff re-
vision. There is no attempt in it to
adjust differences or to realize or sys-
temiZe the tariff, or to lessen its real
burdens. 1t is simply free-tra de
measure, pure aud simple, framed
not for the purpose of benefitting the
country. but for the purpose of for
warding the political ambition of Mr..
Morrison. 1t is the duty ofSouthern
Democrats to stand up for Southern
interests and send the Morrison bill
to join its flat and horizontal prede-
cessor.

he placed himseIfin a position utterly
inconsistent with his professed desire
for Civil Service reform, but the we'll
known and disgraceful truth is that
he has allowed secret ISLANDERS against
worthy Republican officials to serve
as pretexts for their removal or sus-
pension, and now does not dare to
place those ISLANDERS in the daily light
where they can be confronted by the
men wronged. because their falsity
and foulness would be proved and
would disgrace his influential supper

the whole trouble. Rather than let
daylight in upon the dirty work of

A Blight to civilization.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March III
Letters continue to he rec ivad here,
giving further details of the recent
slaughter of colOred men while al
tending court in CarrolIt0n, Miss.
The latest report places the number
of killed and tn )se who have died
from wounds at seventeen. The at
tention of the President has been
directed to the matter by eX Senator
Bruce and eX-COngressman Lynch.
They have received Iaany letters
from the scene Of the slaughter which
represent that many colOred people,
paralyZed by fear at the outrage, tfed
to the woods, and that among these
were nun Der who were wounded
These letters state that it is not
known how many had died from
their wounds, but the number is
muchJarger than was first reported.
The slaugh ter was committed near
the home of Senator George, and his
son is said to have been one of the
"Reguators.
Mr.. Bruce and Mr.. Lynch in their
interview with the President, direct
ed his attention. to the fact that the
Governor of Mississippi had taken
no Official action in the matter, and
was represented as having animated
that ne such action could be taken, aS
it would trench upon the authority
of the county. The President, i-tened
with attention to the recitalS of
MessrS. Bruce and Lynch and OK
pressed himself in decided terms
against such affairs aS a blight to civ
ilization. He expressed him self sur,
priSed that the State authorities had
taken no steps to have the outrage
investigated and the guilty parties
brought to justice. He intim ted
that the matter had been talked
about by the attorney General and
himself.

The free-trade Chicago Herald Thus
sneeringly referred TO the recent pro-
test of the industrial interests of
Pennsylvania against the Morrison
free-list tariff bill: "A few ten-mil-
lionaire iron and steel men went
down to Washington last week to
protest against any reduction in the
amount of protection they receive
from the Government, and all the
organs in Pennsylvania eXclaim !:
Morrison bearded in his den.' The
free traders put to rout.' The enc
mics of American labor exposed,
etc." The Pittsburg Dispatch points
out that tho free-trade organs state
ment is not characterized by complete
accuracy as to facts, and corrects it by
saying that 1.-THE real state of the case
is that no milliOnaires or ten-miliion-
aires went down but delegation of
glass blowers and iron workers wash
ed their hands and faces and went
over and made things so lively for
Morrison that he is expected to put a
clause into his tariff bill prohibiting
laborers from expressing any opinion
at all on his proposed horizontal re-
duction of their wages to the Euro
pean level"

Whatever may be the outcome

Whatever may be the outcome of
the conflict between Mr.. Cleveland
and the Senate, it is important that
the public do not lose sight of the
real issue. Republican Senators do
not challenge the right Of the Presi-
dent to remove Republicans from Of
flee and to substitute Democrats nor
do they object if it is done frankly
and manfully, saying that he prefers
to have Democrats in places of public
trust. If he were to take that ground,
the Senate would promptly and with
out question confirm every nOmina-
ton, in the absence of specific charges
of unfitness or unworthiness. But
Mr.. Cleveland started out as a pre-
tentious Civil Service reformer. O5-
tentatiously announcing his purpose
to conduct the public service on BUSH
ness principles, making no removals
for partisan purposes and selecting
men for vacant positions on account of
fitness, not to reward them for par
tisan services. In fact, he has re-
moved officials again and again ia
direct violation of these pledges. He
has appointed intense Democratic
partisians, and placed in responsible
positions ballot-box suffers, thieves

now idle, several hundred railroad
men here are idle. The loss in this

Why Disguised q?

1t is not exactly new idea that
even the best circus rider cannot ride
two horses going swiftly in opposite
directions. Yet certain professional
reformers consider it a mark of an
unholy and wicked nature in Demo-
cratic politicians generally that they
are disguised with the course of Pre- =
ident Cleveland. Was there ever a
good seaman who was not disguised
with a captain who tried to steer iwo
ways at once?
OfcOurse the Democrats understood
that President Cleyeland does not
mean TO go both ways. That is why
they are disguised, and not simply
and sulphurously mad. Their ohjec-
ton is that he is "mutton-head,"
who does not know where he is going
or wants to go. To them. as 10 prac-
teal politicians generally, that is the
one objectionable offence. Ifa man
wants to go the wrong way. he can
be bought or beaten. But you can do
nothing with man who does not
krOw where he wants to go and yet
keeps on trying t0get there.
The Democratic politicians could
endure Mr.. Cleveland if, startiug for
the promised land by way of reform,
he showed some faculty of getting
there. Or they could endure him if,
starting for the land flowing with
milk and honey by the old and we'll
beaten spoilsmen's road, he was ac-
tually building up the party in that
way. But q President who refuses
to "bring In the boys and warm their
toes" and who nevertheless contrives
to outrage and drive away Civil Ser
vice reformers--how can a politician
shout for him?
Mr.. Cleveland professed that he
would so please the partisan
voters and the reformers that his
party would be secured in power
without any official Entertainments.
But when he appoints such spoils-
hunting scab as Oberly to be Civil
Service Com missioner, every Demo-
cratic politician worth his salt feels
that the non-partisan voters are not
going to be satisfied or held by a
brainless performance of that sort,
On the other hand, instead of putting
all the strong Offices into the hands of
strong party workers. and so using
the public service to the utmost to in
trench the party in power, Mr..
Cleveland selects a great many re-
spectacle hut helpless dead weights,
and also keeps in Office a great many
Republicans. That kills the chance
Of success by the old-fashioned and
to Democrats the favorite route.
The Democratic politician is wiser
in his generation than the children of
light who call themselves reformers.
The politician knows that party
must please somebody in order to
succeed. If it wins enough of the
non. partisans. to secure a majority.
very well. If it kindles the zeal of
the unterrified and the brass-mount-
ed, and so gets out enough votes Of
the old-fashioned sort, very well.
But fit does neither, if it contrives
to offend everybody, then disgust on
the part of well-regulated politician
is naturally Y. Tribune.

The Compromise Bill.

PHILA DELPHIA, March 30.-Mr.
Robert p. Porter telegraphs from
Washington to the Press as follows !:
1.-THE Ways and Means Committee
this morning devoted an hour or two
to the consideration of the general
sections of what will soon he known
as the Compromise Tariff bill. This
bill in IFS present stage is known As
the Hewitt Administrative bill, but
as 1 teIegraphed Friday night, it will
soon take form and shape As the bill
to supersede MorrisOn'S defunct rate
cutter. for such is all his so-called
tariff bill really was.
The Treasury Department experts
are doing the heavy work on Hew"
tits proposed measure, which, how
ever, will he marred by the raw ma
teria" riders, which Statesman Nor
risOn and Statesman Hewitt propose
to tack on, thus to undo all the good
that might be accomplished by the
simplitication of the administrative
features of the tariff law and revision
of the inequalities.
The dismal failure Of Morrison's
second tariff bill ought to conyine
him Of his utter inability to frame a
bill that even his friends could vote
for. But il does not. He still con-
vulsively clutches the tattered REM
nants, and believes he can yet patch
NJ something that will pass and be
called "A bill. The fact is Mr.. Randall
has completely circumYented him 10y
his forethOught. Aided by the Treas
ury Department, he has caused re-
ally meritorious tariff bill to be cor
structed, ignoring entirely the ques-
ton of rates. The bill thus prepared
corrects the inequalities of the tariff,
and if it were not for MorrisOn's and
HeWitt's amendments in the shape Of
a free list it could be supported by
good protectlonists regardless of party
1t is a humiliation for Morrison
though he does not realize it yet. His
own friends are distressed at the sec.
ono exhibition he has given of inge.
ni0us incOmpetency in dealing with
this vital question. The question is
asked on all hands what will be done?
This mornings mail brought me half
a score Of letters from differ Mt parts
of Pennsylvania. Ohio and New Jer-
sey, all containing this refrain.
The answer j., no one Knows. If
the question comes up on the Admin
istrative bill, which is in fact the only
Tariff bill, l should think it would
pass the House, and, with some
amendments, the Senate. If the
scattered remains of the Morrison
railroad accident are picked up, put
in Il basket and tied to the measure
there is no accounting what will hap
pen. In such an event the sound Re
publican tariff men will know what
to do, while the wavering members
of the Democratic benches may even
be tempted into the supreme folly Of
free wool in order to say they have
passed a tariff bill.

A Chambersburg Pennsylvania dis
patch says; "Agents of the South
PennsyIvaniaRailroad company were
in the northern part of Franklin
county last week purchasing the land
through which the prospective line of
the railroad runs. The dee1s of this
land to the railroad company were
recorded on Monday. The death of
General Devereaux robs the Wander
bilt faction of its majority of one in
the management of the South Penn
sylvania and leaves the Hostetter
faction. which favor the completion
of the road on an equal footing"

pro-perts Of their tariff bill, the Dem-
ocratic refnrmers are still struggling
tn get up measure that viii make
some sort of a show in the House.
Free wool is insisted upon as fea-
ture for campaign use, and the bill.
when 1t Is reported, Will contain an
item of this kind. "Wool in the
grease" is thought to be the designa-
ton that will be given in the free list
to which will also be added salt. lum.
Der, flax and hemp. The report
among the Ohio members is that Hill
and Geddes have decided to vote for
free wool.
The tariff Democrats who were
snubbed by Mr.. Morrison i'll the be-
ginning of the session, enjoy his pres
ent discontinue very much, but give
no aid or comfort. When humbly
appealed to for suggestions as to what
would he acceptable 10 them they are
willing to answer as individuals, but
disclaim any intention of being COM
mitted to the support of tariff meas
ure in whole or in part. They say
the Ways and Means Committee
would have had the benefit of their
views and votes if Mr.. Morrison had
placed one of their nuni,cr on his
committee, hat as he thought he
could get along without them, they
will let the country see how much OF
a statesman he is.
