A New Deal Needed.

The first important question which will
force itself upon the attention of the leg
islature will be the organization of the
two branches. The jobbers and corpora
ton bosses will as usual make des-
perate effort to control legislation by
forcing upon the senate aud house men
who do their bidding. This includes not
only officers who will pack committees,
but clerks who mutllate, pigeonhole or
steal bills as occasion may require.
Already the old gang which has made
honest legislation almost impossible are
buttonholing members and writing appli-
cations for reelection or unemployment.
1t is to be hoped that every decent and
honorable member will refuse to commit
himself to the Walt Seeleys, Cad
Slaughters, Pearmans. Wigglns and
other vermin who every two years infest
the halls of legislation. Let the tramps
go to work and make an honest living
Give the state clean bill of fare. There
can be no wholesome legislation next
winter as long as the political caves
droppers and railrogue spies hang
around committee rooms or occupy
pia,es OH the floors Of the two houses. A
new deal is neeuic,a. which will ill the po
sitions formerly occupied by these roust-
abouts with clean, honest and hardwork-
ing officials. There has been too much
dirty work in the committee rooms in
years gone by through the conniyance of
clerks and the treachery of secretaries to
railroad managers. Members of the leg
isaturo should go down to Lincoln un-
pledged to any of the old gang and free
to select the best men for the positions
at their disposal. We need new deal.

The Country's Foreign Commerce..


The last report issued by the treasury
department In regard to the countrys
exports and imports, gives gratifying
evidence of rapid increase IN our for
eign commerce. The figures are for the
month of September, but with these are
included the statistics for the three
quarters of the current year ended on
the Both of that month. The total value
of the imports for that period, stated in
round figures, was a little in excess of
$i98 ,000, which was an increase of
$67,00O 900 over tho amount for the cor
responding period of the preceding year.
The exports during the same time were
to the value of nearly 1886 ZOO, 900, gain
of S11 ,0O0,COO over the corresponding
period of 1885.
An exhibit is made of the increase or
decrease in the chief articles of export
during the third quarter which is not
without interest. This shows that there
was decline in the value of exports of
agricultural implements, cattle, sheep,
breadstuffs, iron and steel manufactures,
hops, sole leather, crude and refined
mineral oils, beef, bacon, lard. butter
and cheese, spirits of turpentine aud
wood. There was an increase in the
value of exports of hogs. books, maps,
engravings and other printed matter,
wheat, wheat flour, carriages, horse
cars and steam railroad cars, coal, raw
and manufactured cotton, furs steam en-
gines, oilcake, oilcake meal, hams, pork,
refined sugar and leaf tobacco. There
are some instructive suggestions, doubt
less, to be derived from this showing, as
for example in the reduced demand for
agricultural implements and iron and
steel manufactures.
1t is noted as another interesting fact
disclosed by the report that Great Britain
and Ireland import from this country as
many cattle rs they do from all other
countries, and of wheat -four fresh beef,
pork products and raw cotton they take
greater amount from the United States
than from any other country. In the
products of the dairy we are far behind
other countries in the amount sent to
Great Britain and Ireland, but as COM
pared with some years ago we have
made marked progress in the exports OF
these products. Although for the year
thus far the balances of trade, rs shown
in the excess of imports over exports, is
slightly against u.s. the value of our foreign
commerce for the nine months, amount
ing to the grand total of nearly thou
sond million dollars, must be regarded as
highly satisfactory aud reassuring,

FRDAY's dispatches state that the dem
oorats are conceded to have majority of
two in joint ballot in the Indiana Jegis-
ature. This will elect a democrat
ably Mcdonald or Gray--to succeed Gen
eral Harrison in the United States senate.
II no further changes are made, this
would leave the republicans a majority of
four in the senate beginning on the 4tE
of March, 1897, counting Riddleberger
with tine republicans. New Jersey and
California, however, are still doubtful,
with the chances in the former, accord.
ing to latest returns, a little in favor of
tho republicans. Advices from California
are very meagre. lnasmuch as Riddle
berger has voted quite as often with the
democrats as with the republicans, and
is, therefore, drifting and uncertain
quantity, he may as well be left out of
calculation. though the turn of the polit-
ical tide in Virginia may dispose him
more favorably toward the republicans.
As the situation now stands, tho assured
republican majority in the next senate
will he only two. Thus the margin of
either party in the next congress will be
extremely small.

Opposed To Reciprocity.

The administration is understood to be
strongly opposed 10 reciprocity treaties.
Referring to the recent reports intimat,
ing a probability that negotiations for
such a treaty will be entered into with
Spain, Washington dispatch says they
are misleading, The secretary OF state
is quoted as authority for the statement
that the unsuccessful experiments in con-
nection with the treaty which was nego-
tiated by Minister Foster have satisfied
the administration that it would be mex.
pedient to attempt further similar nego-
tiations. When Mr.. Bayard was in the
senate he was one of the most earnest in
opposition TO the proposed treaty with
Spain, and there is no reason to suppose
that his views have since undergone any
change. Tho position which he then
held was adopted by the president and
Incorporated in his message to congress,
and It is not doubted that il the question
We're again presented to the admlnistra-
Omaha daily bee., 1886-11-08

tion by congress the president and secre-
tary OF state would be found not to have
changed their views of the subject. They
do not believe, so it is said with apparent
authority, in tinkcring with the tariff
through reciprocity treaties, and the sen
ate is on record as occupying q similar
position. A majority of the house is
doubtless of the same mind. at least it is
known that Mr.. Morrison and most
of those democrats who act
with him are very hostile
to such treaties 1t is not at all proba-
BILE. therefore, that negotiations in this
direction will be opened or encouraged
by the present administration.
There are obvious reasons iustifying the
exception made in the case OF the proposed
treaty with Mexico. That country is
hardly to be regarded as bearing the
same relation TO the United States, com
mcrcially, as other foreign nations. 1t
is a neighboring republic, closely linked
with us by business interests, which from
the natural force and conditions of ter
ritorial propinquity must increase in ex-
tent and intimacy. 1t is quite impossible
that two countries tcrrtorially united as
are the United States and Mexico can
maintain policy of commercial hostil.
itv without disregarding and damaging
their mutual interests. But with respect
to this proposed treaty. the opposition in
the present house of representatives is so
strong that there does not appear to be
the least probability that the necessary
enabling act can pass. Regarding the
sAI 1,atxx
government of the United States and that
of Spain, relative to trade relations with
Cuba and Porto Rico, while necessarily
reciprocal in its character, is so only in
limited degree, and was necessary to
prevent unjust and damaging
determinations against American
vessels. Negotiations arc now
in progress with view to a more clearly
defined and permanent arrangement that
will obviate future complications and
difficulties similar to those which recently
disturbed the commercial relations of the
two countries. In respect to this matter
the administration must in fairness be
credited with having shown more spirit
than with regard to any other of the
| matters of controversy with foreign ma
tons, the result being prompt and salts
| factory.
1t is undoubtedly the fact that without
reference TO political divisions the people
| of the United States are not favorable to
reciprocity treaties. The general view
seems to be that they are IL sort of ALI
ance which may become entangling
while the facts of experience do not ap.
| prove them. Our reciprocity treaty with
Canada was not to the advantage of this
country, and suggestions for it's renewal
have not been favorably received by our
people In the position the admlnistra-
ton is understoo to occupy on this sub
| ject, it is, therefore. undoubtedly in ac-
cord with the general popular sentiment

AMONG the many matters of interest
reported in our voluminous foreign dis
patches of yesterday was that the Aus
trian government has decided not to
await the result of experiments with diff.
ferent repeating rifles, but has ordered
the factories to work night and day on
the Manntiher repeating arm, while
those at several places are working in
cessantly on the Werndi repeaters. This
is ominous.

is that of Admiral David ID. Porter now

An Electric Irishmnn.

LOUISVILLE, KY, August 22.-David
Lindley is an old Irishman who lives on
Milk street. He is possessed of singu.
lar afliction. About four years ago he
was standing under tree at Winters
Gap, East Tennessee, when violent
storm came up. The tree was struck by
lightning and felled to the ground.
Lindley was rendered unconscious by
the shock, but otherwise was uninjured.
During every electrical storm since he
has experienced peculiar tingling all
over his body similar to that produced
by an electrical battery. When the
storm ceases the sensation leaves him,
and is not again felt until another storm.
Any person can receive slight shock
by catching hold Of his hands during a
storm. It is frequently tried by his
neighbors, by whom he is considered !, a
magnetic wonder. Mr.. Lindley's health
is in no wise impaired by the electricity,
and he is of the opinion that it benefits
him. Yesterday during the storm the
shock was much greater than usual, and
the effects have not entirely left him.
He has constant fear of the lightning,
and breads the approach of a storm.

WILLIAMSON Correspondence

Our town has had more visitors and
persons seeking health this Summer than
usual, and every one who comes seems to
be much improved, and is delighted with
our cool climate, health giving waters
and that social and hearty welcome ex-
tended to all by our people. Many ladies
come who from debility and loss of-ap-
petite, spent sleepless nights for months,
and after drinking our water for few
days they sleep sound, become cheerful.
and their greatest trouble then is to get
enough to eat.
We are gladto see such spirit of i'm
provement in our village at this time.
Mr.. G. Dacus has bought lot on Main
street, and is now putting up magnif-
cent brick building, in which he antici-
pates doing an extensive business. Mr..
81. r. Barmore is adding considerably to
the appearance and comfort of his dwell
ing. What is most needed now by every
inhabitant of our town is thepaint brush.
Maj. Tom Anderson and wife have just
returned from visit to Asheville; also
Mrs. Rogers and family, who have been
on Cesar's Head, drinking in the magnifi-
cent scenery in viewing the landscape
o'er'.' far away to the sunrise and sunset.
A sunset view of Rich Mountain, Trip
pie Falls or the Bridal Vale is worth the
trouble of going there, and we only re-
gret that more Of our people can't indulge
in mountain trip every Summer.
We have been visited by one or two
heavy clouds, attended by a great deal of
electricity. Mr.. Stephens had very fine
milch cow killed by lightning while
standing in the stall.
The two towns of Williamson and Pei
ger are unusually hoalthy this Summer.
The atmosphere is so cool and bracing
that it helps all to feel better.
The new drug store in Pelzer is in full
operation, aud they are progressing rap
idly with their new addition to the mill.
Rows Of new cottages are also going up,
bringing more business and more inhabi-
tants to our busy town on the banks of
old Saluda. Mr.. Lee Blake is now Presi-
dent OF the Bank at Pelzer, and is fully
competent for the place.
Our village was alive with candidates
and farmers on Saturday, and we had
some tall speaking, each speaker trying to
convince the people how we'll be could
run the machinery. Late that afternoon
the candidates spoke to large crowd of
enthusiastic citizens of Pelzer, who made
the welkin ring with their hearty cheers.
