Tourgee on Jefferson Davis.

In a suggestive and elaborate criticism
OF the career of jefferson Davis, Judge
Albion W. Tourgee expresses the opin-
ion that the South under more capable
leader, like Robert Toombs, could have
achieved independence. Judge Tour-ee
certainly makes out case against Davis
competency, and the facts are, and
have long BEEN thoroughly ind
by the better minds OF the South But
it is not SO clear that there was any
other leader in the South, no matter now
much superior to Davis, who could have
led its armies TO victory, The best judy
ment OF the world is against that prop
osition- The lost military opportuni-
ties OF TIE South are certainly matched

If the Supreme Court of the United

ment the charters of the various copora-
lions forming the great Sugar Trust be-
came forfeited, what then will the great

That is what it will do. You can stake
your money with absolute certainty
upon one or both of two propositions:
First, that every Democratic platform
Will denounce trusts: second, that every
Democratic Legislature will foster and
support them. There is no detection or
exception from the severity of these
well-established rules.
We must, however, qualify the state
ment that the great trust will leave

But. despite OF this Democratic sub

ROCHESTER,, n. Y. Dec. SI.-The
general term of the fifth department
has handed down decision in the case
of kemmler, the murderer condemned
to death under the new law providing
for the killing of criminals by cleo
tricity.
After reviewing the experiments
made upon animals by electricity and
the accidental death of men, through
the same instrumentality, the judge
concluded: The light of the scientific
evidence in this case is sufficient,
as we think. to remove every
reasonable doubt that the pas
sage of a current of electricity of
a certain well-determined intensity
through the vital parts of the body I'M
der chosen conditions of conduct and
resistance, must result in instant
death. If the question were of
the ACCESSIBILITY in the change Of
the mode of inficting death by
capital punishment the dis
cussion might be prolonged. As we
are confined to the question of consti.
tutionality we deem further discussion
unnecessary. The order dismissing the
writ of habeas corpus and demanding
the prisoner must be affirmed"

fering with American trade and indus
try. ANY more reduction of the tariff
on leading articles would have the ef-
feet simply to increase importations
and to increase the revenue. 1t would
carry money out of the country and re-
duce the rate of wages. It would bring
cheap. shoddy and pauper labor prod
ucts directly into competition with the
products of American labor and enter
prise, and would produce reaction in
business that would be calamitous if not
ruinous.
1t is apparent from these facts that
the present true method of revenue re-
form is to remove the tax entirely from
one or two or three articles, which will
relieve the burdens of the people TO
that extent, and will prevent the ac-
cumulations Of the surplus.
To this end the Republicans in Con-
gress will totally abolish the tobacco
tax, which will deplete the revenues to
the amount of SIS, 900, 900 a year. The
tobacco habit is not to be defended; it is
vice; it is an expensive vice, but it is
one of the least of the vices. 1t is not
as ruinous to health, unless through ex-
cessive indulgence or to persons of a
peculiar nervous organization, as has
been alleged. Tobacco is peculiarly the
luxury and the solace of the poor. To
cheaper its price by removing the tax
would be good policy, and would save to
the people directly the amount now paid
on that account. OF course the tariff on
imported tobacco, which is a luxury of
the rich. will have to stand.
The Republican policy is also to re-
move the tariff on sugar except SO far as
to produce revenue to pay bounty to
American sugar growers. The present
sugar tariff produces a revenue of $50
000, 900 a year. Four-fifths Of this could
come of, leaving an amount sufficient
to pay bCunties on American sugar
equal to the amount by which it is now
protected. This would save to the peo-
pie dire city s40,O0O,OO a year, and no
American trade or industry would suffer
from the change.
With the revenue reduced by these
two changes, gradual changes could be
made in the tariff schedule so as to
equaliZe its burdens and benefits and to
leave every interest just amount of
protection. 1t might be the work of
years, but it could be better done by be-
ing gradually done.-Chicago Journal.
