A CONFLICT between whites and
negroes came near being had IA few
days ago near Sunnyslde, in the
Yazoo Valley. The negroes were
armed and congregated, but Gov.
Lowry called out two companies
of militia with whom he went in
person and prevented war. The
cause was, as usual, a smart Alex
negro, one Oliver Cromwell, who
did not remain to see the results
OF his little job of rousing bad
blood. AT last accounts no further
trouble is expected.

The National Editorial AsSocia-
ton seems to have enjoyed a grand
success in their convention at De-
troit last week, although Col. Shep-
ard, of the New York Mail and
Express, insulted The Southern
membership by a venemous dia-
tribe on the South. The Southern
editors brlstled and the Northern
editors lamented, but both sides
agreed that Sheppard was an ass,
and there it ended, except that it
was mutually understood that the
offensive New York Colonel should
not do so any more. The editor of
the DEMoCRAT-STAR will perhaps
give a brief account of his trip
when he gets rested, and hence we
leave the subject of the great event
to HIM.

Gov. Lowry is sympathetic and

pardoning power, and upon that
John L. Sullivan is probably hop
ing TO escape a Mississippi Jail.
But John l. is not conducting him
self, since returning TO Boston, in a
manner to elicit the sympathy Of
the Governor, who has as great
contempt for the drunken hummer
as he has for those who defy him

LOUISIANA AND THE TARIFF.

The campaign just closed in
Louisiana suggests some thoughts
on the tariff question, not much to
the credit to either of the great
parties engaged in manipulating
the Third Congressional District.
The two parties were once widely
separated on that great issue. The
Republican party was committed
to high tariff for The protection of
infant industries, while the Demo
cratic party was apparently on The
verge of free trade. Two or three
Presidential campaigns, however,
had narrowed The issue down TO
The Republican advocacy of tariff
for protection, with Incidental reye-
nu" and a Democratic clam0r for
tariff tor revenue with incidental
protection. The Democrats and
Republicans are about TO meet
half way and make the fight
OH the method of tariff reform,
both yielding to the pressure for a
shift Of the tariff burden.
In The last Presidential election
Louisiana Democrats voted their
party ticket reluctantly on account
OF their sugar industry which, be,
ing about the youngest mfant
industry IN the country, they
feared would be crippled by Demo
cratic tariff for revenue only"
Now the Republican party has
completely adopted the Democrat
&c idea so far as it applies TO the
sugar industry, and claim that as
only about one-tenth of the sugar
consumed is produced or manufac.
tured in tins country, that sugar
should be put on the free-list and
talk about a bounty for protection
Of the infant industry in which
Louisiana is most deeply interested.
The idea is entirely at variance
with the Republican protection
theory, and demonstrates the sell
tishness Of that party of The mon
obollsts and capitalists of The
North, whose infant industries
they have so zealously protected
through these many years of
growth, The meannesS is apparent.
The Democratic party, on the
other hand, has never denied the
wisdom of the protection of infant
industries, even by a tariff burden,
provided the burden Is not greater
than necessary to accomplish the
III view. But it does seem
that to require the consumers of
his country to pay a high tariff on
of the sugar they use
the protection Of the manutac-
of the remaining one.tenth
produced at home is a greater bur
den than necessary, and contrary to
the Democratic idea of "Iive and let

THE fact that 100000 negroes are
expected from North Carolina to
settle in The river bottoms of Mis-
slssippi, Louisiana and Arkansas
should give the whites of the three
States no uneasiness. White peo-
pie can't very we'll live in that
section Of country, and if the me-
groes can il is the very place for
them. The negroes are developing
a tendency every year to cOngre-
gale in these Gulf States, and the
next best thing to their migration
westward is their location. If they
can be located and kept 10 them
selves, so much the better, and
they can more easily maintain

unhealthy river bottoms than any
where else short of the extreme
