industrial and commercial enterprises
which have changed the face of the South
are in the main manned and ofiieered by
natives of that section.
This explains how so little has been
known about the progress being made
south OF Mason and Dixon s line or of the
men who were doing the work. Finan-
cial circles, ever prompt to realize their
OWN interests, have led The way to cor
rection of this. The amount of capital
invested III Southern business concerns
and the representation of Northern bank
ers, railroad men and manufacturers in
the homogeneous of such enterprises, is
on the increase. A better knowledge
of the industrial South, Of its capa-
bilities and of what it has ac-
complishsd, is already being gained.
1t is, of course, desirable that this pro-
cess should be facilitated in every way.
The closer drawing OF the bonds of bush
ness means, mere than anything else can
mean, the disappearance of seetionahSm
in politics. Moreover, the Southern
people, with admirable pluck and perse-
Ferance, have themselves demonstrated
the capabilities of their land. IL is n

The Tariff.

On the 2lst inst. Mr.. Martin of Texas
submitted the following resolution re-
pealing the tariff laws:
Whereas, the government of the United
States of America is based upon the dem
ocratic principle of equal and exact JUS
tice to all men and special and exclusive
privileges to none; and
Whereas, the present existing tariff
legislation is based upon the aristocratic
principle of special and exclusive privi-
leges to a moneyed class, and is the pro-
life mother and source of all the special
legislation, both national and state,
which has followed its adoption; and
Whereas, we have now arrived at that
period in the history of our common
country when we must retrace our steps
aud follow in the paths marked out by
the fathers of the republic, aud adopt
only democratic methods in democratic
administration or move on in the mael-
strom of revolution from which our in
stitutions can never be rescued. There
fore be it
Resolved, that the panacea for all our
ills is to adopt without delay a series of
repeating statutes repeating all special
and privileged class legislation.
Resolved, that the committee on ways
and means be and they are hereby in
structed to report a bill to this house
without delay repeating ali existing tariff
legislation.
Resolved, that the committee on WAYS
and means be instructed to report at the
same time, a bill imposing q tariff of 42Is
per cent. ad YaloTem on ali foreign inn
ports into the Uniled States, thus taxing
all capital invested in foreign merchan-
disc and imports alike, and at the sans
time affording the same protection 10 the
raw wool and hide of the Texan in the
Boston market which is given to the
manufacturer of WOODEN goods and shoes
in the state of Massachusetts,, and pro-
1ecting labor in all parts of the Union
alike and allowing every American 10

lection which government of equal aud
exact justice TO all men affords to every

sonal and political respect who sustains a
base party policy
The question is easily answered:
Only charlatans and fanatics as
sumo that those who differ from
them politically must of necessity
be actuated by improper motives.
He must be either one or the other who
snpposes that a great party could be
erected in this country on foundation
of dishonesty and insincerity. The prin-
ciples of the Democratic and Republican
parties are widely divergent; in some form
they have. been at combat from the
foundation of this government; states
men and patriots have been and are ar
rayed on either side.
The Democrat who vainly imagines
that all the virtue and intelligence of
this country are devoted to his political
views is as great a fool as the Republican
who eherishes similar delusion.

a KISS NOW AND THEN.

You may bring me the choicest of fruits and of
flowers,
The daintiest morsels that money can buy,
To cheer me and comfort me in the dark hours,
When under the shadows of sickness lie;
The couch may be soft, and the noises around
Subdued so I hear not a single football
And though grateful for this, yet cannot help
thinking,
Thata kiss now and then would be better than
all.
A kiss now and thenl How it lightens our Ia
It brightens our homes, and it sweetens the
crust;
And when from the lips of loved one It's
1t adds to our iov and increases our trust.
The children demand it with innocent coaxings,
And who will deny that our great bearded
Are better prepared for the conflicts they're
If somebody gives thema kiss now and them
1t softens the heart of the veriest miser;
IT'S ample reward for much trouble and
stress;
And none are the poorer-nay, rather the
For now and then giving kiss or caress.
These delicate tokens of love and affection
We may in our folly pretend 10 despise,
But when there's neglect of these little atten-
tons,
What heaTt-aehes and hearts, breaks and burn
ings arise!
Rich fruits and bright flowers may please for a
moment. ~
But, oh, they no power to help or to heal
Like the lingering touch that so fondly and
truly
Expresses the tender emotion you feel.
Though the table may groan meath the weight
of its viands,
And money be plenty, the heart may not
thrive,
And there's many, oh, many lonely one sigh
For kiss now and then, just to keep them

Do Not Retal,d Progress.
Gordon Courie.


In order that our readers may under
stand how the situation at the coal mines
near here is regarded from the stand
point of a great daily journal advocating
the industrial development of all Texas
and especially interested in ''West
Texas we print this week an excerpt
from a lengthy editorial which appeared
in the Fort Worth GAZETTE of last Mon
day under the head: ''Mine Troubles. ~
The editorial frequently refers TO Il
presentation of facts, - published in
the ''Labor Tribune of Philadelphia /,
by one Rennie, sent here by the Tribune
at the Instance, as we understand It, of
the coal company to investigate and re-
port ''the facts in the case, which pub
LEGATION was reproduced by THE GAZETTE
on the same day the editorial appeared.
Whether the GAZETTE IS view of the
situation is correct or not we are not pre-
pared to say. 1t is quite probable that q
better knowledge of ali the facts in de-
tail obtained from q nearer view OF the
scene of the trouble, would have consid-
erably modified some of the expressions
used by the editor But there is one
thing about the matter which appears
very plain to us; that is, if the company
mas decided upon a scale OF wages, ana
that scale does not satisfy the miners,
their only recourse within the law is to
decline to work in the mines If the
company are not Offering reasonable
wages it will appear when they have eX-
perimented. They have the right to ex-
pertinent, and any attempt by the men
now at the camp to prevent experienced
miners from coming and making prac-
teal test of the matter must place them
in bad light before an intelligent public.
What THE GAZETTE says of the retard-
ing of the development of the country is
every word true; not only is the develop
ment of the coal interest here retarded,
but the mere presence of an armed civil
military force here will make so unfavor-
able an impression abroad as to materi-
ally damage our country by preventing
the better class of immigrants seeking
homes in the West from locating here.
Let our people take an unprejudiced view
of the matter, and give their influence to
the side of justice, whatever side that
may be, but all orr interests demand
that there should be an end to this tool

Stop the Bullying.
Washington Star.

Events at Samoa suggest the strength
ening of the navy with all speed, the
contraction of bigger cannon at the
Washington national gun foundry, and
the immediate concentration of all the
nation naval force conveniently and
readily available at the scene of contro-
Versy. No war between the United
States and Germany is likely to result
from the affair. Neither nation can
afford to go to war with the other. But
Germany is at this stage of the proceed
ings bullying aggressor upon American
personal rights and American property,
and halt should be called
and redress demanded in no uncertain
tone. Fuller information concern
ing the Samoan controversy may show
that nothing has been done
which explanation and apology ON the
part of Germany may not remedy, but
the movement TO secure such explanation
and apology cannot be too prompt or too
vigorous. The extent of PREPARATION viii
be measured by the apparent earnestness
of the United States in the matter. The
Indifference and unconcern to aggressions
upon American rights exhibited by rep
resentatiYes of American diplomacy have
given more encouragement to a policy of
contemptuous disregard of protests by
Americans against the acts of foreign
governments than any other fact. In
view of the weakness of our navy Bis
marck might be pictured as scorning
American resentment and perslsting
in policy of injuring American property
and insulting the flag with Tweed s reply
to expostulation: "Well, what are you
going to do about it?'' But the relations
of Germany with other European nations
and the extent of her merchant marine
to be exposed to American privateers in
case of war, exercise powerful restrain
ing influence. With European powers SC
evenly balanced the full weight of the
United States thrown into either side of
the scale would send the opposite side
fiying into the air. Notwithstanding the
contemplate military and naval showing
of the United States its latent strength
is well appreciated in Europe,
and firmness in maintaining
American rights and in demanding
redress for American wrongs on the part
of its official representatives, coupled
with the indication of earnestness fur
nished by a strengthened navy eoncen-
trated at points where American interests
NAV be threatened, will almost invaria-
bly, result IN a peaeeable settlement of
difficulties without diseredit to the ma
tional honor. Such a settlement can
doubtless be obtained in the present case:
and no other should be accepted even
though hostilIties may follow. The Uni
ted states will never cease 10 be bullied,
If bullying is never resented.
