1t is expected that Mr. Randall will in
troduce tariff bill into the House in day
or two. 1t is reported that it provides for
reduction in the revenues of $40, 900 600
| 100000 in the tariff and $60,000,00O in
the internal revenue 1t does not excite a
| great deal of interest 1t is very we'll I'M
derstood that if the Mills bitl does not pass
no bill that Mr.. Randall introduces will.
If Mr.. Randall and his few Democratic
followers unite with the Republicans and de-
feat the Mills bill he will have to bear part
of the responsibility for its defeat. The bill,
with few changes that will doubtless be
made before it is reported to the House, is
about as fair one as it is possible to frame.
Some of the changes which should be made
relate to rice and sugar. The reductions in
the tariff on both these articles are greater
than they should be in view of the small re-
auctions in the tariff on some other articles
which are in much better position to stand
a reduction.
The bill, however, must pass, if it passes
at all, with comparatively few changes, and
those not radical ones. The pressure for
changes will be very great, and if il is
yielded to, in any marked degree, the bill
will be 50 changed that it will be either en-
tirely worthless or unacceptable to the
majority.
The Republicans are talking about remov-
ing the entire sugar duty and paying the
sugar planters bounties. The sugar planters
will not consent to anything of that kind
1t would be about impossible to adjust the
the bounties satisfactorily, and the difficulty
in getting appropriations to pay them after
a year or two would be an almost insur-
mountable one, The bounty scheme will
do to talk about but not to put into opera

Gen. Sewell, of New jersey, is sad to
have formulated plan by which the Re
publicans are to get the Presidency this
year. He figures out that with Judge
Gresham as their candidate, the Repuhli-
cans would get 1871 electoral votes This
would leave 204, which would be enough to
elect the Democratic candidate, but Gen
Sewells figures are arranged so that the
nine votes of New Jersey shall not be gained
by the Democrats. He wants the Republi-
cans to join with the Prohibtionists in car
ryinE that State for the Prohibition Candi-
date, aud if this were done there would be
no election, and the House would have to
choose President As the Republicans
have a majority OF State delegations in the
House, they would elect their candidate.
The scheme looks very well in print but it
is entirely too fanciful Suppose some OF
the Generals figures in the Republican col
umn should make a break for the Demo-
cratic side of his tally sheet, or that the
Prohibitionists in New Jersey should refuse
to enter into the plan, what would be the
resultl Why, the ruin of Gen. Sewell as a
political schemer. b tier go into some
other business, General. Political figures
are mighty deceptive

Why doesn't the Republican party ACCEPT
Senator Ingalls, for its Presidential candi-
date' 1t is anxiously looking for a candi-
date, and, apparently, he is very anxious
to be chosen. He is "A typical Re
publican. He is not willing to admit that
the men who fought for the Confederacy
possessed any virtues worthy of admiration,
and lie is never SO happy as when he is
using his bitter tongue to SANDER the South
ern people He believes in legislating III
favor of the rich rather than the poor, ana
in placing heavy burden upon the toiling
masses in order to pay pensions, for political
effect, TO ex-Union 1lders who never saw
a battle or smelIed the smoke of the great
civil conflict. What more could the Re
publican party desire in a candidate! En-
FILTERED by the loss of power and the pros
pect of dissolution in the near future, that
party has an unspeakable hatred of all
Democrats and particularly those Of them
who are x-Confederates Where could it
find man so well fitted in every particu-
lar, and so thoroughly in sympathy with it
as Senator Ingalls,
1t is true he has not q war record of which
he has reason to be proud, but his talk is
calculated to make the unthnking believe
that if he had chosen to go to the tented
field, instead, as Senator Blackburn puts it,
of remaining in Kansas to prevent the jay
hawkers of that State from robbing the hen
roosts, he would have been a great soldier.
He is great fighter now, however with his
tongue, and the courageous way in which
he charges upon the exConfederates of the
Senate and the regulations of dead Union
generals who were Democrats, is a spectacle
which must command the admiration of
his party. Senator Sherman will have to
be on the watch or Senator Ingalls, will cap
ture the Republican nomination by the tao
tics which he is employing. Shrewd as
Senator Sherman is, and ready as he is to
do anything to win the Presidential nomi-
nation, he will likely lose it if he permits
Senator Ingalls, to surpass him in his abuse
of the South.

The Next State Fair.

+ The prospects for the State Fair to be
held in Macon next October are very fiat
tering. They have not, perhaps, been so
/ good for number of years Although the
time for holding TIE fair is yet distant,

Der of county exhibits One of the most
attractive features of the two exhibitions in
Georgia last fall was the county displays.
These displays were not only interesting and
instructive, but they were highly creditable
to the State of Georgia and an honor and
benefit to the progressive counties that
made them. The thousands of people who
saw those Of Putnam, Sumter, Floyd and
Talbot counties at the Piedmont Exposition,
and of Hancock and Monroe at the State
Fair, went away with the impression that the
counties named offer very great
advantages to persons desiring to settle in
this section Perhaps a display even more

State Fair Premium Committee, which has
lately been in session, doubtless concluded
to offer such inducements as will make it
an object for these and other counties to
show their wonderful resources. The cash
premiums to be offered in the different de-
partments of the coming fair amount to
about ST. 900.
The increased interest manifested in the
fair is due in great part to the thorough
organization Of the State Agricultural So
ciety and to the efforts of its officers. Par
ticuIarly is it due to the efforts of Hon. w.
j. Northen, who is gentleman of advanced
ideas and indomitable energy. With him
at its head the fair promises to grow in
popularity each year, and to present, better
than ever before, the vast possibilities of
hte State.

Senator Sherman's views with regard to
the restriction of Chinese immigration seem
to have undergone very marked change
In fact, his present views are so different
from those he formerly held that he may be
said to have turned political somersault
When the bill restricting the immigration
of Chinese coolies was introduced. he op-
posed it. The Ingalls, and Hoar amend
ments, which greatly modified it, were
voted for by him, and in that shape the
bill passed. 1t was vetoed, and when it
was attempted to pass it over the veto, he
voted in the negative Another and weaker
measure was introduced, and he also voted
against that.
Why was he in favor of Chinese immi-
grafton at that timer Because he thought
Chinese labor would be the cheapest the
factory owners could get. This seems to be
queer position tor him to have taken, for
he is to-day vociferouslv calling for pro-
tective tariff, on the ground that it pre-
vents factory labor from being cheapened.
But perhaps at that time he thought more
of the interests of the monopolists than of
those of the laborers.
In discussing the resolution introduced in
the Senate las5 week, looking to treaty
unfavorable to Chinese immigration,
Senator Sherman said 1.-The time had come
when he believed the Chinese should be
excluded from this country"
The question arises is Senator Sherman's
conversion real, or is he trying to catch
votes in the event he is Presidential nomi-
neel 1t may be that he is honest in his
present belief. There is little reason to doubt
that he is trying to ingratiate himself into
the favor of the Pacific slope voters. Com
ing upon the eve of a Presidential cam
pagn, in which he may be one of the can
didates, his course is at least open to sus-
picion. If he stands upon his former
record on this question: he will not be a very
available candidate, for he would be apt to
| lose several States that he could not afford
to lose.
Does not his conversion come too late?
The Pacific coast is already overrun with
Chinese, whose immigration might have
been prevented by the passage of the bill he
opposed. The people of that section will
probably attach more Importance to his
past than to his present action, and if they
do he need not expect a very hearty support
from them.

The Steer Is Causing Trouble.

There is a loose steer in one of the upper
countless said a railroad member of the club,
that is good deal of annoyance to a certain
railroad company. The steer was being shipped
to Chicago, and at some station above here 10
took 1t in his head to play McGarigle and by
some means he escaped. In a few days the
owner of the steer called upon the company for
a settlement, claiming that if their cars had been
properly constructed the steer would not
have escaped. The company agreed
to settle the basis of the value
of the steer, and this was accepted. In the
meantime the stray steer was having fun. He
demolished fences in the neighborhood, tore
down haystacks, and made a holy terror Of him
self in the county. The citizens held meeting
to discover the ownership of the steer and
learned the facts as above given. They then
brought suit against the railroad company, and
the company sets up the plea that they know
nothing about the steer at present, as they have
paid damages for his depredations once, and
this, they think, is enough. The man who
originally owned the animal has his pay, and in
the meanwhile the steer is going about on his
own hook, so to speak, living off the best hay
in the country"

At eight her courage almost failed,
And turned to wholesome dread,
For as she spoke she had to dodge
A boot flung at her head.
She thought he swore at nine o'clock
And gave up trying then,

Got up at half-pa zen.
Then came the tide of bitterness
That overfiowed her cup;
For he remarked: What! half past ten?
Why didn't you wake me up?'

area is nearly as great as that of Rhode
Island; she has the highest mountain in

within her borders will outweigh any other
family in the United States, and she has the
largest hunting ground between the Rocky

A Lively Campaign Indicated.

The approaching Presidential campaign

licans intend to make an extraordinary
effort to regain coatrol of the government.
They understand that if they are defeated
this year they will remain out of power for
years, and that their party will likely go to
pieces. 1t has no strong cohesive principle.
The issues which brought it into being, and
which made it great and strong, are dead.
1t is now living on its reputation. Prohibit
ton is thinning its ranks and tariff reform
is weakening its hold upon its members. 1t
intends to make an extraordinary effort for
existence this wear, however, and it doesn't
propose TO be nice in the choice of means
for doing so. 1t will attack the South from
which it hopes nothing, and it will wave
the bloody shirt vigorously. 1t will appeal
to passion and prejudice and spend its
money freely. 1t will smash the tariff bill
and the fishery treaty if it can, and it will
support all sorts of pension schemes and
prevent as much legislation that is calcul-
ated to reflect credit upon the admin stra-
tiou as possible
The Democratic party will not be want
ing in vigor and vitality. 1t is awake to the
Importance of the occasion. and will not be
taken unawares at any point. The an
nouncement in our dispatches yesterday
that the young girls Of Pittsburg, Pa, pro-
pose to form political clubs indicates the
probability of an element in the approach
ing campaign that has never beea known
in any previous one. The formation of these
clubs of girls is doubtless due to the admira-
ton which Mrs. Cleveland has excited
throughout the country. The example of
the Pittsburg girls will doubtless be
followed in other parts of the country, and
if Mr.. Cleveland is the standard bearer of
the Democrats, and the prospect is that he
will be, it is not improbable that to Mrs.
Cleveland no small share of the credit for
his election will be due. Even the New
York Sun, which doesn't appear to have a
very high regard for Mr.. Cleveland but
which admires Mrs. Cleveland, would hardly
have the courage to train its editorial guns
upon the battalions of Cleveland girls UNI
