The change in tone of the Southern press on
the tariff question continues to be one of the
most marked indications of the day. There are
sixteen daily papers in the South advocating the
existing protective tariff system. The growth
of the protectonist idea in Alabama is particu-
larly significant: five out of the eleven daily
papers in that State have taken pronounced pro-
tectionist grounds. The Southern farmers are
beginning to realize the value of such markets
as come from live manufacturing communities
at home.

Defeat This Measure.

The bill of Senator j. Wilson, of
Iowa, now before the Senate at Wash
ington, to increase the rate of postage
on Fourth Glass matter, will work
greatly to the disadvantage ofSeeds-
men. and very many other interests.
Indeed it is a measure which ought to
receive the united opposition of the re-
presentatives of all political parties.
Farmers everywhere will do well to
write to their Senators and Congress
men. urging them to oppose this bill.
We are assured that this bill has been
sprung upon the Senate in behalf of
the Express Companies, who ara con-
stantly aiming to increase their own
revenue at the expense of the P. O.
There are thousands of Post-off1ces not
reached by Express Companies, where
the surrounding population are now
Accommodated at reasonable rates by
United States Mails. The Express
Managers would like to crowd the
mails out of the field. occupy it them.
selves, and charge whatever rate seem
ed best to them. So far from advanc-
ing the rates on any class of mail mat.
ter, they should be steadily reduced to
the lowest minimum possible. The de-
velopment and progress of the people
of the United States are identical with
reduction in postage.

When the message had been read
Senator Harris of Tennessee moved that

ed. Senator Edmunds of Vermont
with considerable excitement objected
to this and said:
1t reminded him of the communications
of King Charles the First to parliament,
and that the president unintentionally, no

think l am safe in saying that it is the first
time in the history of the republic that
any president of the United states has
undertaken to interfere with the delibera-
tions OF either house Of congress or qpes.

which the constitution commands him to
make from time to time. This message II

In these days of reform, anything 1t all

senate of the United States, in it, COM
munications to the heads of departments,
not his heads Of departments, but
the heads of departments, created
by law, directed them to transmit certain
official papers, and that is all. The prest-
dent Of the United States undertakes to
change the question into consideration by
the senate Of his reasons or motives for
putting civil officer, as it might be called,
''under arrest" with which the senate has
not undertaken In any way to make any
question at all. By every message he has
sent to this body. and they are all pub
lished, he has asked the senate to advise
and consent to the removal Of one officer
and the appointment of another. That Is
what he has done, aud the senate In calling
for those papers-to say nothing Of tho
wider considerations about any deflcien-
cies in the departments Of justics-is asked
to remove these officers without knowing
the condition of the administration of their
officers.
After little sparring between the
Democrats and Republicans motion
made by Senator Edmunds to refer to
the judiciary committee prevailed.

Steers on the Rampage.

An accident containing some funny
features occurred in the big tunnel at
Summit, on the Northwestern road,
Sunday night As train loaded with
Montana cattle entered the tunnel
from the north, door to one of the
cars accidentally slid back. Several
fiery steers Immediately jumped out.
and with elevated tails dashed ahead
of the slowly moving locomotive and
soon were hidden in the dense dark
ness of the tunnel. One steer ran back
and took to the woods. The train was
quickly stopped and the train men de-
serted their post in a frantic endeavor
to corral the fractions fugitive. Think
ing the animals in the tunnel were suf-
ticiently we'll Gagged, they all started
for the steer in the bushes. After q
lively chase they finally lassoed this
creature and tethered him to tree.
They then returned to the tunnel, and.
procuring hand car, sailed in after
the other steers. When they had pro-
ceeded in some distance they werc
charged upon by the believing crea-
lures, who mistook a colored
lantern On the car for the ha-
ted red rag. The men clambered into
the inches of the walls, ana for time
played the statue act, while the semi
wild animals gored the innocent Ian
tern. The steers held the fort for an
hour or 80, but the men, urged to des-
peration through fear that another
train might come bowling into the tun-
mel from tho opposite direction at any
moment, finally descended from their
perches, and, after long struggle In
the darkness, succeeded in capturing
the citadel. The whole train force
worked valiantly for about three hours,
and at the end of that time were able
to move the train southwark and clear
the road. All the steers were recovered,
the men being so thoughtful even as
to 90 back into the woods and bring
out the beast which had been tethered

latter and said: Dear Brother Magoon,
please raise the tune" Mr.. Magoon
responded, Dear Brother Jeter, I've lost
the metre" At this an old deacon stand
ing by said: "Why, bless my time, they
speak in rhy me-" and an elderly lady sang
out TO the late James C. Crane, one of the
pillars of the church, Dear Brother Jim,
do raise the hymn" When the audible
smiles that these Involuntary and i'm

subsided some one struck up:
