The South is still intolerant 1t
seems to look upon men who are in
favor Of moderate protection for the
development of the marvellous re-
sources of its own section as traitors
to the democratic party. The Chron-
icle, of all the southern contemp
oraries who advocated tariff for rev.
enue and fair protection, is the only
Southern daily that still stands by its
conviction and dares to maintain that
a tariff for revenue and protection IL
not inconsistent with a tariff reform
If the tariff in favor of cotton goods
was taken off, every mill North and
South would be closed i'm six months,
Protection has developed the iron in
terests of the UnitedStates, so that we
are now able to compete with England
in the markets of the world, and sell
steel rails that ut one time cost $50
per ton at $35 ton. This is what
Protection has done for the United
States. = augusta, Ga, Chronicle

The first report of the Secretary ol
Agriculture is a straightforward. bust
ness-like document. Secretary Rusk
seems to fully realize the responsible

ly striving to lay solid and enduring
foundations for the new department OF
agriculture. At the very outset in his
work of reorganization, however, he
finds himself hampered by lack OF
means. The appropriations made by
the last Congress are inadequate to
the urgent needs of the department.
Even the old department had out
grown the provisions made for it. The
estimates he makes for the coming
year are very modest compared with
the appropriations made by other
governments for the same purpose. II
is to be hoped that Congress will

ions of the department, and is inter.

All veterans incapacitated for labor,
and dependent upon their labor for
their support, must be supported in

Under these circumstances it makes
no difference to the taxpayer whether

the same nation. Inasmuch, however,

1t is gratifying to see that the necess-
ity for revision of the tariff with in
tent to secure greater protection is
urged by the president and the secre-
tary of the treasury on incomparably
stronger ground than the importance
of curtailing the surplus revenue
Both go to the root of the matter in
observing, also that a moderate reduc-
ton In the rate of nearly all protective
duties would result in an increase of
revenue. IL the object is to cut of
revenue that can be done quickly and
surely, as the secretary of the treasury
shows, by placing effectually protect
i've duties upon products which are not
now largely produced in this country,
only because such effectuar protection
has never been given. In other cases
Important reductions of revenue can
be made by placing on the free list
articles which are not, and in needed
quantity or within reasonable limits oil
cost can not be produced in this
country. M Y. Tribune.

TO LOSE THEIR HOMES.

Settlers at Fort Pierre, $. D., VIII Have
to Vacate the Lands on which They
Have Squatted No Title Can Accrue
to Them-Intense Excitement Prevails.
PIERRE s. D., Oct. 25.-Intense excite
ment prevails at Fort Pierre, across the
river from this place, caused by the re-
ceipt Of private advices from officials
of the Interior Department stating
that the people there have no
recognizable right to the lands
whereOn they are settled and that the
land where the town is situated belongs
to the Government and will be opened
for settlement in the same manner as the
rest Of the reservation land; provided,
however, that the Northwestern rail-
way does not accept the mile square
on the conditions heretofore agreed
to between the company AMI the
Government. The advices also add that
the company is certain to take tho land,
as it has recently signifed its intention
OF so doing, and that the land it wants is
exactly that on which the Fort Pierre
settlers are located. The information
clearly states that in either case the
settlers will be compelled to vacate the
reservation entirely and come across
the river after the President Issues his
proclamation, and before it takes ef-
feet; and the military authorities have
been notified to prepare to compel the
settlers to vacate at any time.

Ridd1ed with Buckshot.

Henry Mccullough, the foreman on
DR.. Perkins plantation, eight miles east
of Memphis, Tenn, was assassinated
after dark recently. He was sitting
with two other white men in an Office ON
the place, when both barrels of a shot
gun were fired at him through an open
door, by an unseen marksman outside.
Mccullough fell from his chair riddled
with buckshot. His companions rushed
out but could not find the assassin in
the darkness. Suspicion, it is said,
points to a former negro tenant on the
place, with whose wife Mccullough was
supposed to have been intimate. An at
tempt was made to poison Mccullough
two months ago, and a negro woman fell
a victim to the dose prepared for him in
his food. Williams was arrested charged
with the poisoning, but the proof was
not sufficient to hold him.

a Reign of Terror

James Howard, sheriff of Harrison
County, KY, was in Frankfort few
days ago and had a conference with the
Governor about affairs in Harlan County.
The stories telegraphed from there, he
said, have not been exaggerated. There
is reign of terror there that nothing but
force can break. Sheriff Howard, who
is a cousin of the outlaw leader, Wills
Howard, is anxious that the lawlessness
be suppressed, and does not seem to
want his relative protected He did
not ask the Governor to send troops to
Harlan, but in talk after his confer
ence he said he did not see how the
trouble could be suppressed without the
aid of the militia, backed by the law.
He is not going home just yet, pre-
ferring to wait for calm.
