DURING the session of Circuit Court
at Lynchburg last week number of
still houses in Moore county were
condemned as nuisances, and their
owners indicted before the grand jury.
1t has been found that still beer and
slops which the still houses turn into
the streams are poisoning the waters,
killing fish by the thousands and
spreading sickness and disease among
the people who live along their banks.
Slowly but surely the venom of the
still worm is bringing stronger meas.
ures to bear upon its accursed work,
and we firmly believe the day is com.
ing when in some way or other it is
going to be crushed.

THE st. Louis Republic presents
the following as a fair sample of the
kind of tariff reduction which the
Senate tariff bill proposes, and says
the bill is full of such jobs: "The pres.
ent rate of taxation on cotton ties is
80 per cent ad valorem. They come
in 50-pound bundles, which sell fol
from Go to rs cents per bundle at the
works in England; for $1.l0 in New
Orleans and for $1.20 in st. Louis
They pay at present an import tax O.
% cents a bundle. The Senate bill
changes the tax from So cents ad va
loren to l.3 cents a pound on the iror
and 2 additional on the tie, making
a total of 1! cents pound or IS cent.
tax on the 50-pound bundle. That is
the Senate bill more than Triples tn,
tax on cotton ties by raising it from
% to rs cents on a bundle"

Mr.. ARCHIE THOMAS, editor of the
Record, Springfield, Tenn, died at his
home in that place last Wednesday
morning. No member of the Ten
nessee Press Association had more
friends in that body than Archie
Thomas. All loved him for his
warm-hearted, genial nature, and he
was ever ready to do anything in his
power to serve his friends. He was
earnest and enthusiastic in everything
he undertook, and will be sadly miss
ed from future meetings of the Asso-
citation. He had only been sick a few
days. The announcement of his
death will be received with sincere
regret by all who knew him.

what tho Republican party is fighting
for. There is no conflict OF interests be-
tween tho several classes OF producers
and consumers in the United States.
That which benefits ono benefits all.
The farmer, the manufacturer, the Ia.
borcr, the tradcsman, the producer, and
the consumer, all have common interest
in the maintenance Of protective tariff.

The farmer has better and nearer mar

mand; he is called upon to build more
houses. Every branch OF trade, every
avenue OF labor will feel Instantly the

The Democratic majority in the
House adopted yesterday the clause OF
the Mills bill placing wool on the free
list. Thus President Cleveland pro-
poses to give tho workingmen OF the
country cheaper clothes, while he
charges them about five prices for the
sugar that goes into their coffee or the
tea for their babies, and for the tobacco
which goes into their pipes after the
meal is over. But it may DO as well TO
examine this contention OF cheaper
clothes under tho calcium light OF actual
statistics. The American grown wool
amounts, in round numbers, to 2S5, 0O0,-
900 pounds, at mn average cost Of 49,
100000. This is literally md equally
distributed over the country in the
hands OF small farmers, who manage
through their small flocks Of sheep 10
meet expenses and put by sometimes a
few dollars for rainy day., The wool
itself is made into cheap clothing for
tho humber classes Of tho people,
and the extraordinary competition in
this particular business gives to the
American workingman actually the
cheapest garments sold anywhere in the
world. Wool to the value Of SS0,000,-
600 is imported, upon which there is
Maid in duties about $5,0O0,0O0 or Just
enough to supply the deficiency in the
product Of the country, To putt plain
", the people pay about ten cents a head
to maintain an industry which supports
frat and last millions OF persons, and
which gives them cheaper clothes than
can be obtained in any other country on
the globe. A Democratic President and
a Democratic House OF Representatives
ask them TO abandon this triang duty in
order that they may enjoy what appears
to tho Democrats to be the inestimable
privilege Of paying onShupdred millions
Of dollars to maitain a few sugar plant

Of States thought 10 be safe beyond
question Tor the Democratic party
The Democratic party Is pledged 70 go
ahead on the line of Free Trade as fast
as it can, Whoever believes in that pol
icy ought to make sure Of getting in,his
ballot for the nominees Of that party.
Giving tho Republican Party n Chance.
1 EFhe Republican Executive Committee
Of Ohio county, at its meeting on satur-
night, took action that will be heartily
approved by every Republican in the
First Congressional District who desires
the nomination OF the most available
mSn.
To the Republicans Of the district the
action will be welcome, becauseit gives
them to understand that, 30 far US the
party machinery in this county is con-
cerned, itwillnot be used in favor ofeither
Of the Ohio county aspirants, or, indeed,
of any Ohio county man as such.
The aim of the County Committee il
to give to the Republicans OF the county
an opportunity to be represented in the
Congressional convention by men who
will go, not merely as the henchmen OF
this man or that, but as county repre-
sentatiyos in the best sense, ready to
confer with representatives from other
counties.
It may be that the delegates from the
other counties OF the district will prefer
one Ohio county aspirant, it may be
that they will not prefer either. 1t may
be that it will seem best to go outside Of
Ohio county, in which case Ohio county't
delegates should be tho first togivo theil
assent.
There has been a good deal Of activity
on the part OF tho aspirants, but the Re
publicans from this important district
arc still far from anything like n genera
agreement, for they have not had an op
portunity to confer with disinteresteC
fellow Republicans. Aspirauts are MOI
disinterested, and they are rarely able
to sec the situation as others do.
The point this time is to nominate
worthy man who can be elected. II thu
Republicans Of Ohio county avail them
selves OF the opportunity which thei
county committee has sought to give
them, their counsel in convention vii
be worth something to the Republican
party.
