sherman Follows Suit.

Not to be outdone by Blaine, Senator
Sherman has delivered his speech in
reply to the Presidents message, taking
the Tariff for his text. He opens by
cftieising the President for recommend
ing that the Internal Revenue WHISKY,
beer and tobacco tax be permitted to
stand. He insists that the tax on those
necessaries should be repealed; and that
the protective system, by which nine
twentieths Of the people are taxed fol
the benefit of the monopolists and ex
tortioners, like the Ark Of the Cove
nant, is too sacred to be touched
Nevertheless, Blaine is in the lead, an'
Sherman will be left.

TINS N. Y. Tribune and the Chicago
Journal are ridiculOusly attempting TO
show that the jackson city election
units Mr.. Lamar for the q. s Supreu1e
Bench. As Mr.. Lamar was a thousand
miles away when Il occarred; was not
consulted or considered in connection
with it; knew no more about it or was no
more responsible for it than q child that
was born before the food, we cent
understand the lsgic Of those journals.
Suppose the case reversed, and that 3
Republican Executive had sent Senator
Sherman's name for confirmation Is Mr..
Cleveland has Submitted Mr.. Lamar's.
Is there Democratic newspaper in all
the land silly enough to cite the circum-
stances Of an election IN some Ohio
town where Mr.. Sherman does not vote,
and which he has not even visited for
years. As proof that his nomination was
not ct to be made!

In his message .hs Governor urges the
adoption % a constitutional amendment
mailing the payment Of the poll tar a
condition Of suffrage. Numerous other
amendments have been suggested from
other quarters. As far as we are advised,

EA1DENTALLY the Voice, the rational
essh 81 Prohibition, says: "In portions
Of the South what is known as the
'carpet-bag rule" was disastrous in the
extreme. It was simply robbery. 1t is
not surprising that there should be a
dread of 4 return to that rule. But
such a fear is groundless. The war
issues are settled and settled forever.
The people of the North cannot be
rallied along those lines again." Never
theIess, the South, taking counsel of the
slogan which Blaine, Foraker, Boutelle
and other sectional leaders, have raised,
will stand by the party whose orifame
was the pillar of cloud by day and the
pillar of fire by night, when she was
wandering in the wilderness.

obstruction 70 navigation caused By the

member that the late Representative

two years ago; and that no action was
taken. He introduced a bill in the

time, but il failed to be reported favor
ably by the Committee 10 whom it was
referred.
There are two distractions across Big
