The Louisiana State Lottery
Company is peculiarly AN institut-
ion, of Louisiana. Its interest in
it's charities, and the popular appre-
citation of the company's efforts to
advance the interests of the State,
are too well-known to be contro.
verted at this late day. The legis-
lature of Louisiana before adjourn
ing on the 10th of July of this year,
ordered that an amendment to the
constitution of the State be submit
ted to the people at an election in
1892, carrying the charter of the
company up to the year 1919. In
the meanwhile the present charter
does not expire till the first of JAN
uary, 1895. There will not be the
slightest change in the policy or
methods of the company which, un-
der the management of General
Beauregard and Early, will be CHI ar
acterized by the same regard for
equity and fair business dealing,
which have made the name of The
Louisiana State Lottery Company
a synonym of honesty all the world
over.-Ne,o Orleans La) city Item,

BLAINE MUST Go.
He Will First be Forced From
the Cabinet. Then From
His Parry.

A Washington dispatch says: The
indignation of the Republican lead
ers of Congress over Mr.. BIaine's
interference in the tariff discussion
has reached belligerent state. 1t
is proposed since the tho publica-
ton of his last letter TO Senator
Frye that ne shall be forced out of
the cabinet, and, if possible, out of
the party. This may seem extreme
and startling, but it is what is at
this moment being seriously dis
cussed by those gentlemen in Con-
gress who might be expected to
bear feeling OF angry resentment
against the man who has done more
than any other to injure the 'repu-
tation" of the bill upon which they
are dependent for campaign capital.
Conferences have been held by
these gentlemen since the appear
ance of this last letter to Mr.. Frye
to determine what they can best do
under. the circumstances. The opin-
ion is strongly unassnous that he
has done an irreparabIe injury to
the party by his criticism As one
of the gentlemen remarked, it will
be extremely embarrassing when
they are on the stump defending the
Mckinley bill to have Mr.. Blaine's
letter quoted ut them. In talking
the matter over it was said that Mr..
Blaine had embarrassed the admin
istration and the party in congress,
and that something must be done
to destroy his influence and relieve
the party of any responsibility of
his utterances.
1t was understood, also, that Mr..
Harrison entertained similar senti-
ments. A gentleman of unquestion-
ed reliability, who knows all about
what is going on in this matter and
sympathizes with it, said that Mr.
Harrison had tried to put Mr.. Blaine
down, but had failed, and now they
would see what could be done. He
said further that they would force
him out of the cabinet and then out
of the party; that they would exer-
else all their power and would crush
him.

In an interview Senator Faulkner
thus gives his idea of what DISPOSE.
ton will be made of the Mckinley
bill:
GAS n matter of policy the Repnb-
licans recognize that they must pass
a tariff bill during the present ses.
sion of Congress. And for these
reasons: For the first time in the
history of high tariff legislation the
importers have taken an active part
against the McKi ley bill. They
realize that the measure reaches be-
yond what is ordinarily understood
as protection, and is, in fact, prohib-
itory. The representatives of $780,
000,0 of capital invested in the
importing business appeared before
the Senate Committee on Finance
to oppose this measure, the majority
of whom were leading Republicans.
Should the bill fail to pass at this
session these men would exert their
influence and power against tn. Re.
publican party in the fall election.
Should it become a law, notwith-
standing its many iniquities, these
business interests would oppose
any further agitation of the subject,
-preferring to suffer the ills they
know of, than to be left to the un-
certainty in the making of their con-
tracts as to what would be the pro-
vision of any subsequent law"

The ruction which Blaine is Great.
ing in the republican party over
the tariff question is simply the re-
suit of an encounter between states
manship and partisanship.
However radical and thorough a
partisan Blaine may be, his position
and long experience enable him to
see afittle further than the blind
leaders of the republican party in
Congress. Blaine discovers that il
is time to call halt in monopoly
legislation. The educational cam
paign has enlightened the masses
on the iniquities of tariff legislation.
The people are waiting and eager
to get whack at it. The fall cleo
tions will place the tariff monopo-
lists in a very embarrassing position.
Blaine smells the battle from afar.
He recognizes that there must be a
change of front. That either the
republican party must take the
democratic position, or the demo-
cratic party will take the republi-
can position of the majority party
in Congress.
As matter of craftsmanship, as
well as of party and personal policy,
Blaine can afford to take issue with
his party on the tariff. When his
party is rebuked at the polls,
Blaine's advice will be appreciated,
and he will rise again to the leader
ship of his party. He will be nomi-
mated in convention over his chief
for the presidency, and he will en-

About yVhnt We Expected.

New York Herald: We shall have
it appears, no Tariff bill this session.
Perhaps Mr.. Allison and some OF
the more conservative republicans
may coerce one, but it does not look
like it. We have had little faith
in tariff measure from the present
Congress. And now that Mr..
Blaine has knitted the Mckinley bill
the faith grows weaker and weaker.
The reason is obvious. Why
should the protoetionists pass a now
tariff? The present one suits them
very well. They are making great
fortunes out of it. They keep war
taxes in time of peace, vote enor-
nous pensions to absorb the surplus,
and the longer the tariff remains
the more money will be sailed away.
The condition of affairs is shame
full. Industry is oppressed. The
people are taxed from their bread
to their raiment in an outrageous
manner. Millions, tens of millions
are taken annually from the wage
earners to swell the fortunes of Mr..
Carnegie and others like him. The
industrial and agricultural resources
of the nation are given over to q
monopoly. That monopoly was
powerful enough to send -four
hundred thousand dollars in one
sum to help elect Mr.. Harrison
The money went where it did the
most good. The men who sent il
desire no change in the tariff. Why
should they?
The republicans have been fooling
over the tariff for years. They
have never amended it, because
they do not desire amendments
They will fool and dawdle and de.
bate the Mckinley bill as they did
the Mills bill and send it over to the
next session, to- the session after
to limbo, if they can.
When public opinion in the Unit
ed States becomes revolutionary
and these tariff barons find they
cannot hold on to their gains, there
will be change. But, to use 9
homely but quite Ineligible illus.
tration, there will be no tariff re.
form until the people take the
monopolists by the neck and kick
them into n realization of the fact
that the workingman has claims
which they are bound to respect.

The enemies of human progress
can be found in every city, village
and hamlet in the land. Many of
them are calm, cool, designing
schemers who profit financially by a
system that makes the rid richer,
and the poor poorer But the rank
and file is composed of those whom
political prejudice makes the uncon-
scious tools of their scheming lead
ers. There are farmers who are
mortgaged to bankruptcy, or whose
property has been sold under the
sheriff's hammer, beggaring them
selves, their wives aud children, who
at the coming election will vote for
the system that beggars them.
There are laborers working for star
walton wages, living in squalid tene-
ment houses, with their boys grow
ing up to crime, and their girls to
prostitution, who will vote, yes ami
fight for the monster, monopoly, that
is crowding them and a multitude OF
their fellows, down deeper into the
depths of degradation. There are
merchants by the thousand in this
land who have been driven to the
wall and forced into bankruptcy by
the power that fosters monopolies
and trusts, and the Capitalization oil
business, who will vote and work
for the power that ruined them.
And the worst of it all is, that all
except the schemers think they are
doing humanity service.-Rdna-
