THE SOUTH and LABOR.

The Democratic leaders in Congress affect
soicitude for the American workngman 1t is
mainly on his account that they desire to have
those "terrble war taxes repealed. The
Mills bill is assumed by its authors to be gen.
uine relief measure for the oppressed laboring
classes. who are overtaxed for clothes and the
necessaries of life. The dishonesty of this
pretence is apparent when the fact is disclosed
that five of the seven Democratic members OF
the WAYS and Means Committee reporting that
measure represent Southern constituencies.
The Solid South controls the committee by an
overwhelming majority as it does the party at
large: and what interest has that section OF the
country ever shown in the progress OF the labor
ing classes? It's own working people to-day
are reduced to level with the pauper labor OF
Europe The lowest wages anywhere in the
Union are paid in the South. The laborng
classes there are Systematically degraded, i'm
poverished and plundered; yet the political
leaders of the South have the assurance to come
before Northern voters as the friends ana ad-
yocates Of the down-trodden working people,
who are taxed to deathw
Let no Northern workingman be deceived
by these hypocrtical pretences. The South
exercises despotic control over the policy of
the Democratic party. 1t does nothing for its
own working classes, and it is equally indiffer-
ent to the fortunes of labor in the North. 1t
has the cheapest of cheap labor ITSELF and Gym
icaly thinks that the Nation would be on the
high road to prosperity if the manufacturing
and industrial interests of the North could be
brought under the old-time supremacy of King
Cotton and the wages Of working people gener-
ally reduced to the Southern level. 1t does not
fear free trade, because there would be no
competition under it between labor in the South
and labor in Europe. Naturally, with its po-
litical traditions Of the reign of Cotton and
with . vn dense masses of cheap unedu-
Gated laborers, the South is the stronghold Of
free trade. With its President, elected by the
suppression of the negro vote in ter States Of
the Union, and with its one hundred Confed-
crate soldiers in Congress who fought the bat
tie of slavery it is arrayed in hostility to the
industries of the North and to the working
classes who are dependent upon them. 1t is
accustomed to the conditions of pauper labor
ard is Indifferent to the progress and prosperity
of the lab oring classes.

AUTHORIZATIONS THEORISTS.

The people who oppose vaccination are per-
haps not numerous, but they are decidedly
noisy, and seem bent ON making themselves
as conspicuous as possible. The International
Congress of Anthropology did not escape them,
and the delegates must have been no less
astonished than annoyed when physician pro-
ceeded to inf1ict upon them paper containing
the widest and most eXtravagant assertions
upon the subject. OF course the time and
place were equally ill-chosen for the introduce
ton of such an issue, but at no time nor in any
place would it be proper to make such a sweep
ing statement as DIR. Hanchett did ON this
occasion. When man deliberately asserts in
a public assembly that "proof after proof has
been brought forward that this vaccination.
as it is called, is utterly without avail in
protecting the community or individual from
the dreaded variola," one hardly knows how
to deal with the declaration, it is so extrav-
agantly inaccurate. No one, indeed. will
assert that vaccination invariably protects,
but its failures are in majority Of instances
attributable to defective power in the vaccine
matter, or careless manipulation. and do not
affect the underlying principles in any way.
When the benefcent results of DIR. Jenpers
discovery are contemplated, indeed, feeling
of wonder arises at the perverSty which can
ignore all the cumulative evidence of tho
prophylactic virtues Of vaccination. Before
it was introduced the ravages of smallpox
were so terrible that in the seventeenth
century it was difficult to find, in London. a
person unmarked by the disease. OF those
who were attacked by it. fear
fully large percentage died, while the
convalescents bore the scars TO their
graves 1t then killed white men as
quickly as in later days it has killed Indians.
Vaccination has unquestionably drawn the
poison fangs of the disease. To-day small
pox, even in its NEST virulent FORMS is never
the scourge it was formerly, and ordinary
attacks are as easily treated as measles.
Vaccination has been proved in the most con-
elusive way, and by the longest and most
extended trial, to be an invaluable prophy-
Tactic. 1t may be said that it has practically
put an end to the epidemic form of yariola,
and TO call il an "inflicti0nn is about as
irrational as to denOunce life and fire insurance
or the use of anaesthetics. Moreover, the OBJ
ponents of vaccination are anything but con-
siSent. We doubt whether many Of them
would turn up their noses at pate de foie
gras, invitingly served, yet that dainty is
certainly in all respects as amenable to the

A TRRTST At RISM1RCK.

Herr Won Puttkamer's downfall in the Prus-
sian Ministry is ascribed by the Radicals to
Herr Richters recent speech in defence of the
Empress. That speech was the bOldcst attack
on Prince Bismarck that has been made in
many years. 1t was defence Of the Liberal
press against Government prosecutions for
which Minister Won Puttkamer was held re-
sponsible. 1t exposed the injustice of the as
saults upon the liberty of the press to defend
the sovereign and the Empress. Herr Richter
reminded the Landtag of the Chancellor's
mcrciless treatment Of Count Won Arnim, who
was accused of revealing State secrets and he
then charged Ministers of the Crown with
worse treachery to the Emperor. Extracts
from official papers respecting the Battenbcrg
affair he declared, had been published in jour
nails usually employed by Prince Bismarck, and
these could only have been furnished by him
self. Only through gross betrayal of conf
dcnce, he added, could the most detailed ac-
counts of the projected betrothal have been
published; and the most abominable feature
of the misuse of official secrets was the fact
that the people were excited against the En-
peror after the differences between him and
the Chancellor had been adjusted. AS this
daring speech has been followed by Herr Won
Puttkamers resignation, it may not be unea-
sonable to connect the two events.
1t is most anomalous proceeding that the
duty of defending the Imperial family should
have devolyed upon Deputy whose Radical
ism borders closely upon Republicanism. When
he declared that if hundrcdth part of the
insults that have been printed about the En-
press in the Conservative press had been hurled
against the Chancellor there would have been
hundreds of editors in prison, he made home
thrust which could not be parted. He
exposed the injustice Of prosecuting Liberal
journals for publishing reports about the treat
ment of Colonel Won Villaume by the Gar
and then of allowing Conservative editors abb
soute license to excite prejudice against the
Imperial household by repeating insoent in
situations and revealing secrets confded only
to the Chancellor. The speech appears TO have
been decisive. The resignation of the Vice

District Attorney Fellows is in fair way to
get himself into more serious trouble than he
has ever yet experienced. We do not see how
there can be any doubt that, by his absence
from his office for week to attend the st.
Louis Convention, and his lingering for week
longer on visit in the Northwest, he has been
guilty of gross, if not criminal, neglect OF duty.
This appears to be the opinion of Justice Bar
rett. who is reported to be exceedingly indig-
nant at the Colonels conduct. The special
Grand Jury, empanelled week ago, has, by
Mr.. Felows's failure to bring before it the i'm
portant matters which it was constituted to act
on. been at its wits end to keep itself busy,
and the subordinates in the District-Attorney's
Office are thoroughly demoralized and incapable
of deciding on any course of action. They
managed TO send an urgent dispatch to their
chief yesterday, warning him Of the wrath to
come and begging him to return. Unless he IS
promptly on hand, it is understood that Justice
Barrett will either appoint a lawyer to attend
to the Prosecutors duty before the Grand Jury,
or else discharge the jurors Such action would
clearly be in order. But the matter ought not
to end there so far as John r. Fellows is con-
cerned Probably it will not.

announcement caused much excitement,
aud the police had trouble to prevent dis
