The president has signed the new
Chinese bill which has had such a
singular history. The house passed it
on a rumor that the Chinese govern
ment would reject the pending treaty.
Then the senate passed it, for fear the
democrats would get ahead on the
Chinese question. Then the impro-
priety of passing such a measur
pending the consideration of the treaty
by the Chinese government became
apparent to the treaty making branch
of congress and strong efforts were
made to recall the bill. But it went TO
the president. and the action of the
senate having caused the rejection OF
the treaty, there was no course left for
him but TO sign the bill. which accom-
plishes all that the treaty was intended
to accomplish and practically limits
Chinese residents to those now here
and forbids their return whenever they
leave.

It seems probable that Judge Thur

owing to his speech of acceptance to

The workingmen are to choose be-
tween the horns of a dilemma. Goods
must be cheapened or there will be no
market for them. This can be done,
first by taking the duty off of raw
materials, or second, by cutting down
wages. You can't get rid of the tact
that one of these two things is abso-
Iutely necessary. The republicans
have been taking wages down a peg
that is their policy; the democrats
propose to take the duties down a
peg and keep wages as high az possible
Make up your minds, gentlemen

Mr.. Allison from the committee on
finance, reported back to the senate,
last Tuesday the house tariff bill with
an amendment in the nature of a SUBJ
stitute. 1t was placed on the calendar
and ordered to be printed. He said
that the majority and minority reports,
to accompany the bill would be filed,
and gave notice that he would call up
the bill tor consideration on Monday
next. The substitute for the Mills
tariff bill embodies all entire revision
of the tariff schedules and the admins
trative features of the present law pro.
posing the re-enactment of all such
features as, in the opinion of the major
ity of the committee, ought not to be
changed. According to the estimates
made by the committee the bill pro-
vides for a total reduction of about
seventy five million dollars, made up
approximately as follows: Sugar, $27,-
75s 600; free list, Sc, 500, 900; tobacco,
internal revenue, $24, SOC, 900; alcohol
in the arts, 81, 200 900; other reduc,
tons in customs, IS, 0OO, 900. The re-
publican senator's have evidently sat
down hard upon Mr.. Blaine and the
Chicago platform. 1t is 10 be hoped

The officials of the supreme court
have decided to make a slight change
in the ceremonies attending the e
Ing in of Chief Justice Fuller. Ills
change will have the effect of reviving
an old custom, last observed in the in
auguration of Chief Justice Chase, at
which time the ceremonies were some
what more impressive than they have
been in later years. Chief Justice
Chase, after taking the oath of tealty in
the robing room donned his silk gown
and walked arm in arm with the senior
associate Justice, Mr.. Wayne, to tire
bench of the chief justice, where he
subscribed To the judicial oath admin
istered by his escOrt. Chief Justice
Waite, however, took the fealty oath
in the robing room and the Judicial
oath at the clerks desk, dOnning his
robe afterward, and then took his seat
upon the bench. 1t has been decided
that there is a lack of dignified impress
s~iveness in this procedure, and Justice
Fuller will be sworn in under the old
custom observed up to and including
the time of Chief Justice Chase's
Inauguration. After he has taken the
judicial oath at the bench, he will bow
TO his associates, then to the bar and
again to the spectators. AS soon as he
takes his scat the clerk will hand him
a bound docket of cases, which he will
read. There are ten cases on call for
the opening day, the first one being
that of the Bell Telephone Co. 1t will
be Tuesday, however, before this case
is called, as the court will adjourn i'm
mediately after the swearing i'll of Chief
Justice Fuller, in order to pay the
annual call OF ceremony upon the pres
ident.

The only thing a workingman has to
sell is labor. The only thing a manu-
tactprer has to sell is the products of
his labor. Labor is sold in competi-
ton with the world, while the pro-
ducts of labor have no foreign compe-
tition, consequently it is the manufac-
turer who gets the benefit Of all tariff
taxes, and the workiDgman can only
be protected through his boss. See
how it worksl Your boss gets all the
protection, and if you strike for a raise
in wages he sends to some foreign
country and brings men here to take
your place. Its just as simple as cal

Who the fortunate gentlemen viii
be I cannot undertake to predict at

A bill providing for the calling

been introduced in both Houses.
/ understand that the House com
mittee will report iavorably on

lively discussion will follow. ! do
not speak confidently Of the situa-

ernment, and consequently am not

informed gentlemen in our end Of
the Capitol, that the House will
pass the bill by a two-thirds vote.
So mote it be.
Z Last night the Democratic Cau-
Gus met to nominate U. S. Sena-
tor, Gen. Sharp in the chair. Mr..
! Longstreet, Of Grenada, IN an elo-
quent speech placed in nomination
lGen. Edward G. Waltball. Mr..
Burkitt, Of Chickasaw, seconded
the nomination, and moved that
Gen. Walthall be declared the
choice OF the Mississippi Democra-
cy for the position Of y. s. Sena-
tor by reclamation, which was
adopted without dissent.
To-day was local bin day, and as
matter of course a largo number
lof local and private bills were pre-
sented to the House. Two affect
ing Chickasaw were passed. One
I to ratify and confirm certain ac-
tions of the Board OF Supervisors
relative to the settlement Of the

for The election Of an additional

might find some difficulty in mas.
tering the art legislative, ! desire
to say that John Winter not only
knows "where to hang his hat
