There is an impression that after all their
| talk, the republican senators will not seri-
ously attempt to pass tariff bill. 1t is
asserted that Mr.. Blaine has made known
to them his opinion that 1t would be mis-
take TO pass bill, because it would deprive
the republicans Of the opportunity 10 make
square issue between protection and free
trade II the senate should pass bill, the
bill would necessarily have TO make some
reductions in the tariff, and if-the repub-
hcans went on record i'll favor of tariff re-
duction, however small the reduction might
be, they would no longer be able to charge
the democrats with being free traders.
There is some force in these views Of Mr.
Blaine, but what will the people say If the
republicans should change front in the very
beginning Of the campaignl VIII they not
say that the republican party is weak and
vacillating, and that it has no policy of its
own relative % the tariff VIII they not
ask what the republicans propose to do
about the surplus. which is accommodating
with dangerous rapidity' 1t really looks as
if the republican party would be in worse
fix by refusing TO pass a tariff bill than if it
should pass one.
There is another thing that is calculated
to induce the republicans to accept Mr..
Blaines advice. 1t is the difficulty the re
publican senators are experiencing in fran
ing tariff bill Some senator's want one
thing and some another, and it begins to
look AS if it would be impossible TO unite
them on any measure.
If the tariff BILL which the republican
senators have been at work upon for sew
eral weeks, should not be reported, the CON
clusion would be irresistible that Mr.. Blaine
is directing the campaign for the republic
ans. He is certainly sufficiently popular
with his party to have his way in all mat
ters relating to the campaign.

WHAT MIGHT ADJOURN CONGRESS
Mr.. Cox Holds Yellow Fever Scare in
Allegiance for His Colleagues.
FrOn1 fhe Ne1r York Herald


WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-Congressman Sunset
Cox says one little sentence from his lips would
adjourn the house instantly. What Mr.. Cox
means is best explained by the following state
ment made by him to Herald representative
to-day:
Last Thursday" Mr. Cox began, 81 ran
down TO Moorehead City, N. C., To obtain a few
days rest. Returning to Washington ye ,terday
my train was detained at Greensboro to await
the arrival of the Jacksonville and Florida ex-
press. My presence on the train had been tele-
graphed ahead, and when aighted at Greens
boro found large crowd in attendance, who
insisted upon my addressing them. spoke for
about thirty minutes TO as Intelligent and re
sponsve an audience as have ever faced.
When the Jacksonville train came In and we
started north again, noticed that had fallen
among the most scared and most forlorn look
ing people on earth. Suddenly heard one man
propose to another that they should go forward
but his friend replied that they would not be
permitted TO. 1his rather surprised me until
found upon inquiry that the majority of my
fellow passengers were flying from the plague
stricken city of Jacksonville.
They we're all bound for New York, and
imagine that half of them arecarrying the
germs Of yellow feverin their systems. This is
what | mean in saying that a word from me
would adjourn the house instantly but out Of
regard for the feelings Of my colleagues will
forbear to speak of it. p"

1t was the New York Tribune which an
nounced the other day thots-Mr. BlainA,s
family brought back with them thirty-two
well filled trunks; SO that no one can be
charged with Intentionally disappearing
the number. Generally speaking, it is a
matter of no public concern what those
thirty-two trunks contained, but since his
return Mr.. Blaine has had good deal to
say about the results of foreign labor being
imported to deprive American workingmen
Of their wages, Mr.. Blaine didn't take
thirty two trunks and twenty parcels and
bags with him to Europe, therefore he must
have purchased and filled a considerable
number while he was abroad. Is he will
ing for the workingmen of this country to
know what they containedl Did they con-
tain tho foreign labor products whose inn
portation will tend to lessen American
workingmens earningsi Stand up and an

On the day of Mr.. Blaine's expected ar.

was then in that city, went to Manhattan

The Bay Street Road.

A good many citizens would like to have
Bay street road opened so that it will inter
sect the Augusta road near Jasper Spring.
The opening Of this road would be a very
great improvement, and one that ought to
be made. There is just now good oppor-
tunity to make it. The city has built the
Bay street road TO Musgrove creek. and
spanned that stream with a substantial
iron bridge. Beyond the bridge there is
already partly constructed roadway
The chnin-gang is now in the vicinity of
the proposed road opening ditches but that
work is not being pushed, owing to the obiec-
tions of few small farmers who do not want
their land drained at this season of the year.
because their little patches of rice require
all the water hat can be obtained for
them.
A part of the chain-gang therefore can
be spared for other work. What work is
there to be done in that locality that would
be of greater benefit to the county than
that of constructing the road above referre
too The county commissioners will not buy
any rights of way, but it is understood that
they will have the road constructed if those
who are interested in having the improve
ment made will secure the rights of way.
Would not those who would be benefited
by this improvement act wisely by taking
measures at once to get the necessary rights
Of way Another good chance for getting the
road built may not present itself for long
time. Prompt and energetic action now
will doubtless secure a much needed and
long desired improvement.

Congressman Fitch,s Convention.

COE4ka CH5AlAhn T8tCh d conversion.
Ashbel p. Fitch, who represents the
Thirteenth district Of New York in Con
gress, ard who was elected as a republican,
has deserted tbs republican party and has
announced his intention Of applying for a
place in the democratic camp. OF course a
place will lie found for him. lie is a level
headed young man who has made quite a
reputation for himself during the short time
he has been in congress- If he wants to go
TO congress again from the district he now
represents, he can do 50, because he is not
only very popular with his constituents,
but the district is naturally democratic.
The district includes Harlem, and among
bis constituents are great many working
men.

nonsense, and says that in his district Eng
lard has about as many adherents as
China, and that those Of his constituents
who propose to vote for tariff re-
form are as sincere friends Of American
industries as are those who advocated a
high protective tariff. As for himself, he
SAYS that he believes in reasonable reduc-
ton in the tariff, just as Garfield, Arthur
and Folger did, and in giving American
workmen cheaper necessaries of life and in
supplying manufacturers with cheaper raw
materials. He is confident that if the Mills
bill were adopted the burdens of the poor
would be lightened and that wages would
he better. He emphatically objects to the
republican policy Of making whisky free.
That policy he declares would cause more
distilleries to be established in his district
than there are school houses, and make
whisky 50 cheap that it could DO bought for
% cents gallon, or cents glass.
Congressman Fitch is not the only con
vert to tariff reform, and not the only re-
publican who will vote the democratic
ticket. There are a great many, and the
number is steadily increasing

Chinese Girls in America.


Interview an st. Louis Post Dispatch.
I found that in San Francisco there are
women and young girls who are slaves.
They are purchased In China by men who
make a speciality of this trade and are
shipped to Frisco to other Chinese, who
purchase them there. These women are
compelled to live life of shame as slaves
and they have no protection whatever from
the police unless they voluntarily make
complaint. In that case, of course, the
police free them and give them the protec-
ton they demand, but the authorities never
interfere in these cases unless they have
been applied to for help. On this question
gathered some statistics that may be of in
terest: These women and girls, l am told.
are kidnapped in China, imported to this
country, sold in the secret slave markets of
San Francisco and doomed to a slave
which passes description. The girls are sold
and are employed as bond servants in Chi
nese families. There are l 800 women and
girls, of whom probably hundred are
bound-footed women, and are the wives of
merchants and rich men. From 600 to 700
are married according to the Chinese Gus
tom and the others are members of the
harems, if | could 50 call them, of the rich
Chinese. Then there are probably about
500 slave girls and women who are forced
into life of shame and misery.
