Washington Critic: The little sketch going the rounds to the effect that Senator Kenna, with two pairs of queens in his hand, gave the pot to o1Senator Dolph, who held three aces, on the principle that three of kind beat two pairs, has provoked the soul of the senator from West Virginia to it's profoundest depths. Yesterday, during the executive session, Q brother senator approached him cautiously and by easy stages on the subject. ey ..-
 "How is this, Kenna ?' he said. sl
 "How is what ?'' inquired MT. Kenna in reply.
 "Why, this little story about Dolph's three aces beating your two pairs tf
 "Not a word of truth, sir, in it," said the senator, with snap in his eyes. "I never played poker with Senator Dolph in my life. I never played poker with any, body. I don't know one card from an other. don't know how to play cards of any kind. But, sir, and his face grew determind aid sinister, eff Senator Dolph or any other man with three one-spots in his hand thinks he can beat me when I've got four queens, I'll be doggoned if wouldn't like to see him try it once"

THE TARIFF DOWN SOUTH. If the agi- tation at Washington, organized and pro noted by the enemies of the American systems of industry and labor, has been disastrous for the time being to progress sive enterprise, it has resulted in setting every class of citizens to investigation of the hitherto mysterious problem. It is unnecessary to add that the consequences of this popular effort to get down to the bones of the subject have been unpleasant ay surprising to the free-trade doctrinaFies.
 The revolution of sentiment among the masses is apparent enough in every part of the' United States, but it is nowhere quite so plain and suggestive as in the southern states, whose people havef been always fondly counted upon by the British influence at Washington to back designs upon the successful existence of native in dustries and labor without thought or question. The recent effort by the Wash ington combination of the British interest, with few selfish eastern manufacturers. to break down the barriers which keep out flood of cheap foreign productions, that, if admitted free of duty, would shut up our shops, factories, furnaces and mines, or compel them to run on the pau per labor basis of Europe and Asia, has led to the presentation of many object les sons which the capitalists, laborers and farmers of America have been not slow to consider and absorb. .--NeaO Orleans Times Democrat. -ss .-ss.. ..,

the Missouri Pacific men went out they did
not pretend that they had any grievances
against that railroad Mr.. Powderly, the
head of tho Knights of Labor, after examin-
ing the facts pronounced the strike cause
less; so did the Governors of Missouri and
Kansas. Not until twenty-five days after
the strike began did the strikers set up any
complaint against the Missouri Pacific. If
public sympathy in this case has been with
the railroad it is not because public sympa-
thy naturally gravitates in that direction, but
because the facts have compelled it to turn
that way against its inclination. The
undergrad and overworked horse car men
have never had any difficulty in bringing
they employers to terms. Their grievances
have been recognized as genuine, and pub
lie opinion has compelled the companies to
listGn to them and redress them. Under
like circumstances it would prove equally
potent with Jay Gould. If the Southwest
strikers have any grievances let them state
them in good plain English, so the people
can understand them. The wickedness OF
Jay Gould they know about already.

mon of the education committee made their
visit at a time when the government day
schools had their vacation, so they could
make no personal observation; there was
only one in session, and that one taught by a
Hampton graduate, a full blood Indian girl.
The Committee visited this one and accord
ing to the agent. Judge Holman expressed
himself as delighted with this practical re-
suit of Eastern education. Now in New
England. when the day school in any locality
does not produce satisfactory results, we DO
not abandon the school system, but proceed
to improve that particular school, get a peter
teacher, make decent and suitable building
etc. There is no trouble with mission
schools, the results in these are more IMAM
abundant. If instead of giving the govern
ment schools to the impecunious relatlons OIL
some politically appointed agent, whose one
object is to draw their salary, they snoulu De
entrusted to competent Hampton graduates
or to earnest white men ana women, WIN VII,
the love for humanity that eharacterlzeS the
missionary teachers, we have no doubt the
results would be satisfactory.
II is plain to be seen through all this that
the whole system of Indian education is at
tackled. 1t is simply new shoot OFF the old
well seasoned policy of hlndering education,
cheating and irritating Indians until they
retaliate, and then call on the army to exter-
inmate them. The unmitigated wickedness
of such a course on the part of a civilized
government will work its own reprsal The
tears are not yet dried in many eyes, and
bitter memories of tine price paid for Cypress
ing negroes have not yet faded out from
many homes. 1t cannot be possible that the
moral sense of the country will allow the in
iquity to be repeated.

If the individual who writes proclama-
tionS for the Knights of Labor at St. Louis
would occasionally dip his pen in common
sense his productions would be greatly i'm
proved. The workingmen of this country
are not in danger of being enslaved by Jay
Gould or anybody else. 1t was only year
ago that the men employed on his southwest
system of railroads compelled him to hear
their complaints and redress their grievances.
When their cause was just they had no diff
ficulty in bringing him to terms. The rea-
son they are not succeeding so well now is
because of the popular impression that in the
present controversy, up to very recent date
at least, they have been in the wrong No
amount of fervid rhetoric can cover up the
fact that the strike at st. Louis originated,
not in any complaint against the Missouri
Pacific, but in difficulty on another road,
over which Jay Gould had no control When

Mr.. Pulitzer of the New York World, who

six days out of the eighty-two in which Con-

Gen. Logan's bill to increase the army
would have passed probably, had it not been
for Mr.. Gibson's amendment repeating the
section of the Revised Statutes that forbids
the appointment in the regular army of any
man who served as an officer in the Confed-
crate army. A test vote, taken previous to
the offering of this amendment, showed a
majority in favor Of an increase. But when
Gibson's amendment was voted down, all the
Democrats who had previously voted for the
clause increasing the army, voted against
the whole bill and killed it.

The reelection of the Republican Govern
or of Rhode Island was foregone cOnclu-
sion, and so was the election of Republican
majority to the legislature. The doubtful
matter in the contest was the fate of the
amendment to the constitution forbidding
the manufacture and sale of liquor as a bey-
erage, and the fate of Attorney General Colt,
which was intimately connected with it.
The returns show that the amendment has
been carried by two or three hundred votes
over the necessary three-ffths, and that Mr..
Colt, who was obnoxious to the Prohibition
lists on account Of alleged sympathy with the
liquor traffic, has been defeated. The amend
ment. which removed the property qualifica-
ton from veterans of the late war, was car
ried with no opposition of any consequence.
The result is notable victory for the Pro-
hibitionists, and they have good reason for
rejoicing. A good deal more will need to be
done, however, before therum traffic is driven
from the State of Roger Williams. But a
good beginning has been made

The Knights of Labor have ordered the
Messrs. Keene to discharge all the non-un-
ion help employed in their shops at Show
hogan, and a dispatch to the Argus says
that the probability is that work will be sus-
pended there and the business removed to
Lynn. When the Lasters' Union were trying
to get possession of the shops of the Messrs.
Spinney at Norway, the PRESS pointed out
that the inevitable result of their success
would be the removal of the shops back to
Lynn. The case of the KeeneS is precisely
analogous, and the result predicted is about
to follow. All the proprietors who moved
their business from Lynn to this State did
so to escape from the control Of labor I'M
ions. Lynn offers many advantages which
Maine towns do not, but the prospect of es-
Gaping from the labor unions was regarded
as a sufficient offset. If, however, they are
to be still under the control of the unions, it
will be for their advantage to return to Lynn
and they will promptly do so. Perhaps af-
ter they are gone the Maine Knights may
awake to the fact that they have only been
pulling chestnuts out of the fire for the ben
eft of their Lynn brethren, and have badly
scorched their fingers in the operation.

It would seem that the exercise of very
ordinary amount of prudence would have
prevented the accident at Bardwells on the
Fitchburg railroad. Heavy rains had been
prevailing for some days, and it was known
that the place of the disaster was one pecu-
liarly liable to be affected by them. A con-
slant watch should have been kept, therefore
to see if the road bed was washed out, and
to give timely notice in case it was A little
foresight and the expenditure of few dol
lars would have saved many valuable lives,
and averted wide spread sorrow and suffer-
ing, besides preserving much property to the
railroad company. In the long run fore
thought and caution pay heavy dividends
If Mr.. Morrison's tariff bill is to become
law it would have been much better for the
fishermen had the Treaty of Washington
remained intact. Under that treaty for the
concession of their markets our fishermen
secured the right to take fish along the Do
minion coast and to run into Dominion ports
for any purpose. But if Mr.. Morrison's bill
becomes law they will be compelled to sac
rifce their market without getting anything
in return. Free fish, whether under tariff
law or treaty with England, means the
destruction of the American fishing indus
try. All the jewellers along the New England
coast, whether Republicans or Democrats,
are opposed to it, and had there been any de-
mand for it in the West and South it would
have made itself heard when thenotice to
abrogate the Treaty of Washington was
pending 1t was not heard then and it is not
heard now. The fisherman's profits are
small enough under the tariff, and nobody
: begrudges him them.
