THE HOWL TO THE CONTRARY"


Mr.. Mills seems discouraged. After months
of labor by the Treasury Department-said by
the Treasury Department to have Deen
wonderfully able, exhaustive and thorough
labor-a bill was prepared which embodied the
plans of the President, the Secretary, the
Speaker and his chosen leader Of the House.
Mr.. Mills Then more than month was
wasted while Mr.. Carlisle labored to arrange Its
committees the point of chief anxiety. during
all that months paralysis of public business
being TO pack the Committee on Ways and
Means so that it would start the Administra-
TONS tariff bill with strong backing. Finally,
almost another month has been wasted in
secret efforts to get the picked members OF the
committee to agree upon something. And now
Mr. Mills sadly cOnfesses: 1.-THE great
stumbling-b block in our way is the wool ques-
ton 1t is difficult to say how far the
committee will 90 On that subject. But
il is a question in my mind whether any bill
will be able to run the gauntlet of the present
Congress" II that is so. why waste months
Of the time which ought to be spent in much
needed legislation? Why agitate the whole
country, and embaTass all trade and industry
by desperate attempt to do something, when
it is very doubtful whether Congress can be
got to do anything and when, if anything can
be done it would probably not be satisfactory
to any of the members engaged in the work
Mr.. Mills avows his belief that free wool
would be a blessing. in spite of the howl to
the contrary" The "howl to the contrary
has made itself heard, then. even in dark-lan-
tern meetings of the picked instruments of
the Administration. Apparently some men
were selected as members of the committee
who thought they were for the Presidents plan
when they were appointed. but who have since
been hearing from their constituents. Other
wise Mr. Mills would not be in doubt how far
tho committee would go, at this late day. and
would not manifest impatcncc about the ." howl
to the contrary" The woolgrowers and other
farmers. and the defenders of protection gen
orally, may we'll find encouragement in the
confession that The voice Of the people is heard
and that it does not help the Presidents plans.
Mr.. Mills doubts whether any bill will pass
the House. II is good thing that he has
wakod I'D, though tardily, to realization Of
the fact. Mr. Morrison used to bring in his
flee-trade bills, and then be certain they were
going to pass eventually until about month
or six weeks after they had been defeated.
Possibly Mr.. Mills may be capable Of discover
ing a little earlier that his cause is hopeless /;
that the people are against him. and that mem
bers of Congress do not dare to defy their VIII.
At all events. it is good to keep up the fire
without ceasng, and to pour in petitions, re-
monstrances and resolutions, until the enemy
quits and runs.

MIR CARLISLE UARNED.

Mr.. Carlisle and his friends arc warned by
"The Herald" that it will be most unwiSe ior
them to persist in refusing to open the case oil
Mr. Thobe and to examine into its merits.
This is but an early expression of the opinion
which will prevail with candid men of both
natties. and throughout the country. The
Herald" says: His duty to himself and to his
party is at once, at the earliest mo-
ment, TO demand and insist that the disputed
election case in which he is party be re-
opened.n 1t continues, that, he cannot afford
to get himself seated in the House by the votes
of his party alone; that all the Republicans
except four want the case considered on It's
merits, and that their demand cannot be re-
fused by Mr.. Carlisle without placing him in a
position that he will afterward regret. This
sound advice. given before the vote on Monday
affirming his right to seat, is in striking
contrast with the less honest and less manly
treatment of the question by other Mugwump
journals, and is just as good now as II was
before that vote was taken. IL he Is WISE nc
will refuse to let the matter rest where 1t is
The question for the country Is whether
Mr.. Carlisle or Mr.. Thobe was. in fact, the
choice Of the legally qualified voters In the

to narrow precedents. in a strict partisan spirit,

l,ecause through bad faith of others MIR. Thobc
failed to make up the record as it should have
been made. 1t may seem to these gentlemen
that the case of Mr.. Carlisle is one that justlies
tho utmost use of technical advantages, because
he is Speaker personally respected by Repub-
licans in Congress- is man of large Inliuerce
in his party, has great influence in the House
and thus. it is reasoned, can influence some
Republicans to refrain from opposing his claims
to seat These are adroit calculations, from
a party politicians point Of view But they
ignore the one duty which rests upon every
member of tho House. and which the country
will not forget If Mr.. Carlisle was not hon
estly elected by majority Of the legal voters
then every member who helps to keep HIM IN
his seat contributes to an act of robbery. Jie

but it seems that we had undercstimated his
vitality and wickcdncss. His uneasy ghost,
which was recently making the rounds OF Paris
and is now walking the night in Florence. has
had sufficient power and influence to break up
the Commission and to bring to naught the
fisheries negotiations, thereby prolonging in
definitely the period of hostilitics between
Canada and the United States. Mr. Bayard
knows the secrets of the prison-housc and can
a tale unfold that will harrow up Mr.. Chamber

tween the quarrelsomc branches Of the Eng

with tho wicked idea of breaking up the Can
adam Confederation by putting a premium
upon secession. 1t is he who has brought Mr..
Chamberlain across seas on FOOLS GRAND and

maker and a statesman "Tho Baltimore

own districts only but in every other, by men
honestly chosen by the people.
IfMr. Carlisle thinks it worth while to insist
that Republicans are making a point on his
case for partisan advantage. he is entirely well
come The beginning of the matter Is that he
and his friends do not dare to have the Iucs-
ton Investigated on It's merits. Why, The
country does not know. The reason is best
known to them. They DE- this in a spirit of
nartisanship never surpassed for shamelcssness.
II was a most indecent thing to choose as
Sneaker a man of whose election by the people
there was honest doubt. The indecency is not
diminished in the least by the contrivancc
adopted for selecting the Committee on Elcc-
tions Everybody knows the power OF the
Sneaker. through his discretion in recognizing
one member rather than another, and his right
(, select members for the working committees
of the House. 1t is notorious that Mr.. Carlisle
Uses his power without linching for the benefit
of his party Republican members must be
expected to reason that he will use it not less
for tho reward Of those who favor and the
punishment Of those who oppose his claims to
seat
This gross indecency of the Democratic ma
iority. in making Mr.. Carlisle Speaker and then
refusing to examine the case against him on its
merits, has abundantly justified Republicans
Of the House in their course. What they have
done fixes public attention upon the facts in
the case. The merits Of the contest cannot be
examined honestly and fairly. as Republicans
maintain they ought to be. because Mr. Car
Isle and his party friends obstinately and I'M
nudontlv refuse to inullire whether the man
they have elected Speaker was honestly en-
titled to a seat in the House. If Democrats
think they can afford to face tho workingmen
and the whole people on that state of facts,
Republicans are ready.

ATLANTA UNIVERSITY.

Professor Horace Bumstead, Of Atlanta Uni
versity last year It's acting president and now
its financial agent, has come North, and Is at
present in New-YorlS, for the purpose OF securing
as large part possible OF the $4,000 which
the institution is under the necessity Of asking
from its friends in consequence of the with
drawal Of the annual appropriation OF $4,000 by
the State Of Georgia The expense OF conduct
ing the university is about s32, year One
half Of this is made up from tuition fees, the
products OF student labor and miscellaneous
sources. The State has hitherto appropriated
So. 600 for its benefit, and friends in the North
and elsewhere have contributed the remaining
81. 900. This year, and in all probability here
after these friend, must double their subscrlp-
lions.
Our readers and all other persons Interested IN
tbe education Of the colored race will remember
that at the last session Of the Georgia Legislature
q bill 1.-THE Glenn bin was introduced and passed
nv the House which, while necessarily general IN
it's phraseology, was aimed at the Atlanta Unlver-
sity, making it a felony, with fine, Imprisonment
md the chain-gang in full view, to be engaged
directly or Indirectly in the instruction OF both
white and colored pupils In the same school.
This measure aroused such q storm OF execratlon
nearly everywhere except in the Georgia LeSlslat-
ure that the Senate thought 1t wise to pass q
comparatively mild substitute, which, however,
the House refused to accept. The result was
that with a considerable feeling OF relet inc
Legislature passed and the Governor signed what
were known as the Calvin resolutions, withdraw
ing the appropriation Of $4,000 unless the uni
versItv should use the money exclusively ior inc
education OF coored pupils 1t was supposed
that the university would accept the alternative !;
but the trustees determined TO reject IT, for these
reasons among others, that its acceptance Woulu
no a violation Of the conditions on which the IN
stitution had received large gifts, an act OF NIL
delity to the purposes Of the founders, and gen.
eral surrender of principle The fact that white
and colored pupils had been taught side by size
had never furnished a decent basis for oppoSl-
ton from any point of view, for the white pupiS
had been very few in number and, with Few e&-
centions the children Of the teachers. Ihere
had never been any concealment or evasion In the
matter: the same conditions had always existed
and the successive State Boards of VISITORS
whose reports were invariably appreciative ana
commendatory, had been perfectly acquainted
with the situation.
This is brief history Of the proceedings when
have necessitated a larger demand upon the I'D
craltv Of those who know may wish to inform
Themselves Of the thoroughly honest and efficient
work which Atlanta University is doing. Inc
resnonse ought to be prompt and generous
