sherman Scores a Pslnt.

Washington, April 2S.-Sueh of the
Republican Senators as are not presi-
dental candidates are enjoying a
hearty laugh at the expense three of
their number, who are carefully nurs-
ing their presidential boom. On
Thursday last ex-GOv. Routt, of Col
oradO, made his appearance upon the
floor of the Senate. In few minutes
il became noised about that Gov.
Routt was the chairman of the Color
ado delegation to the Chicago conven-
ton. This was followed by the report
that the delegation being unpledged
would probably vote as the Governor
desired.
Then the fun began. Senator Alli-
son, his grave face beaming with uni
versul kindness and good win, saun-
tered over TO the spot where the Gov
ernor stood. After brief converse
ton Mr.. Allison remarked, as if the
suggestion had just occurred to him,
"by the way, Governor, come up and
dine informally with me this evening"

cepted an invitation for tonight

the Iowa statesman with affected I'M
concern.

morning.
The shade of disappointment which
overspread Mr.. Allison's face disap.
peared moment later when Senator
Cullom, of Illinois, who prides himself
upon his resemblance TO Abraham
Lincoln, joined the group with many
solitous inquiries regarding the Gov
enor;s health,
"You will dine with us tonight,
said Mr.. Cullom blandly, after saluta
tions had been exchanged.
Tho Governor politely declined. "a
previous engagement, you know h
added briefly by way of explanation.
"Ah,' said Mr.. Cullom, turning Il
ward Mr.. Allison, "You got ahead {
me, see"
"No," replied Gov. Routt, who III
derstood the situation perfectly, an
could not help laughing at the litt
comedy which was being enacted. "

ofyou both.i."
! The story spread, and after thu
Routt received no more invitations

Things looks certainly Blaincish--
very Blaineish. The two issues of the
Republican canvass arc protection and

Blaine to embody both? Sherman and
Harrison are certainly malevolent

good natured. Evarts is too tedious.

the same breath, and skin the cat, aud
leap the banners, and plunge through

The Truth On the Quinlne Tariff.
PHILADELPHIA Telegraph.l

To those who think that whatever is
is right, and therefore should not be
disturbed, and that the tariff is thing
existent, and therefore not to be altered
IN any manner whatsoever, we heartily
commend the history of the duty ON
quinine, which six years ago was vir-
tually prohibitory. 1t will be remem-
bercd that a hard fight had TO be fought
to secure the repeal of the duty upon
this important medicinal agent. AT
the time of the repeal of the duty there
were five firms manufacturing quinine
in this country. Three of them were
in this city, and all declared through
the columns of the Evening Telegraph,
either by their own letters or in inter-
views with reporters, that if the bill of
repeal passed they would be compelled
to discontinue the manufacture of
quinine. The price of the article was
then $3.50 per ounce, but as soon as
the duty was removed it began to fall.
1t is now 80 cents per ounce, or S2.95
less than it was when the duty was on.
Neither of the five great firms which
previously manufactured quinine has
since discontinued its manufacture,
and all are, it is fairly to be as
sumed, making satisfactory profits
from its manufacture under the re-
duced price. The making of quinine
in this country six years ago was
monopoly, from which individual for
tunes represented by millions of dol
lars were realized. II is but just to say,
however, that there has been large
increase in the growth in the cinchona
bark from which the medicine is made,
and the added supply of raw material
has helped to lessen the price of the
product. There are other great mon
opolies to-day in the country which
could and should be destroyed by the
reduction of the excessive duties on
their manufactures. The worst of them
all is the sugar trust, monopoly
which oppresses every consumer in the
land. The quinine experiment should
be tried upon it.

The Progress notes with pleasure
the appointment of some very impor-
tant committees by the Directors of
Water Valley Board of Trade, the
proceedings of which will be found in
this paper. The last, but by no means
the least important is that of commit
tee on public roads. This is a step in
the right direction, as nothing con-
tributes more to the material success
of a town than good public roads, and
no town is a live and progressive one
that does not see to it that the thor
oughfares, levees, bridges ect., lead
ing to it are kept in good condition.
Within the last year Water Valley has
suffered the loss of several thousand
bales of cotton and corresponding
loss in her trade on account of the
utter impassibility of her roads and
levces, especially the latter. Her citi-
zens have become thoroughly aroused
on this subject, and the committees
appointed on the various Public thor
oughiares leading to this place, mean
business when they say that the roads
must be kept in good repair, and over
scorers on their respective roads had
best take due notice and govern them
selves accordingly. The organization
of this Board of Trade is one gigantic
stride on the road of progress

fAe Reaction frOsa Prohibition.

We learn from the press Of Kinds,
YszoO and Lauderdale, that elections
viii probably be asked for in those
counties on the question of prohibit
ton; which was carried in their elec-
tons two years since. A two-years
trial of its workings does not seem TO
have won universal favor; and the result
Of the re-trial viii be noted with gen.
eral interest. We have never been able
to share in the conviction that prohi-
bitiOn possessed staying qualities at
least not in localities embracing cities
or towns. There can be but few who
favored prohibition who do not per-
ceive that suppressing the local sale
does not end, if it dimini.hes, the con-
sumption. And all have had ocular
demonstration that jug whisky will
make drunk come, just like the bar
room nip. Impracticability is only one
of number of disappointments follow
ing the test of trial
In Yazoo county, in discussing the
proposed re-submission of the ques-
ton, both the Herald and the Sentinel
favor primary vote of the white
people to decide whether or not it
shall be submitted again. A corre-
spondent of the latter paper thus dis
cusses the proposition:

tablished doctrine in this county that
the whites shall control its politics,
and they certainly ought TO, and will
control moral question, when sub
mitted to the voice of the people. So
| suggest that this whisky question be
submitted to a vote of the white peo-
pie exclusively at primary election to
be held under rules and regulations
to be agreed ON between the executive
committee of the prohibitionists and
the representatives of the whisky men

whisky let the election be held under

COnkllng's Feeling Toward the South.

As a rule the Democrats did not hike
him. because when be fought them he
fought hard. lie asked no quarter
and gave none. The Southern Demo-
Gratis were especially bitter towards
him, and his feeling toward them as a
mass amounted to almost hatred. In
dealing with them he acted as if he be-
lieved that nothing they did was sin
cere. He invariably accused them of
insineerity, playing part; that every
thing they did was dictated by policy.
His dislike of the men from the South,
however, was as nothing compared
with his dislike of the men of his own
party who would not agree with him
in the estimate he placed upon the
Southerners, or, as he put it, the Re
publieans whose pusillanimity eneour-
aged tho Southerners to reach the
position they were fighting for and
which they believed belonged to them
by nature or divine right-that is, the
position of political masters. 1t was
this feeling that caused him to make
one OF his greatest fights in the Senate,
the contest for the admission of kel-
logg from Louisiana, and against the
admission Of Nj. G. Butler from South
Carolina. When the long and bitter
contest was ended by a compromise,
admitting both Kellogg and Butler,
Conkling was disconsolate, and it was
then that he first thought Of retiring to
private life. lie said that Buffers adj
mission mean. the near approach OF
the time when the Government would
again pass into the hands of the men
of the South, who would rule il as
they ruled it from its foundation to
the advent of Lincoln. lie said he
could not close his eyes to the fact that
the men of the South were dynastic In
their belief--that the fight they were
making was fight for dynasty, witt
the people Of their section as the SOW
ereigns and the men of the North tn,
political vassals. 1t was this feeling
that made him SO intense in his hatre,
of the Hayes administration. He salt
il was plain to every one who could Sc
beyond his nose that the Democrat
party of the South, having found
through weak and craven govern
ment at Washington, way to over

ton acts, were sending their ablest me

the North were sending to Washingto
to meet these bold and able men-me
who were in politics simply because
