tariff legislation. A new step has been
taken, which looks as il all this was
done with long look forward as to the
maneuvers to be adopted by the Repub-
lican administration.
The tariff bill WAS so made up that
this sugar bounty was to be paid to the
sugar makers only after compliance
with certain conditions. These condi-
tons were that the sugar mills should
practically be put in charge OF Federal
inspectors, as distilleries are. The
conditions Were so burdensome that, as
will be remembered, Governor Hogg
vetoed the bill accepting the bounty
for the Texas state convict farm, where
a great deal of sugar is made.
The first Indications of the Republi-
can scheme are apparent in Louisiana,
where President Harrison has ap-
pointed large number of negroes as
inspectors at the sugar factories. There
is no scarcity of competent white Re-
PupllIduo III llldO SltUt. Jul lIe5t are
passed over and negroes put in charge
OF the mills. The white planters and
mill owners are Of course indignant
that their work should thus be
turned over to the espionage and super
vision of ignorant negroes, and have
refused to allow them to discharge the
duties of their Office
1t is likely that there was deliber-
ate purpose in this action of the presi-
dent. If the negro inspectors are not
to be allowed to do their work, no
oounties will be paid. Then the de-
mand will he made that the bounty be
repealed entirely. and sugar left to take
its chances in competition with the
world, because it is a Southern indus
try. THE GAZETTE will back its COM
nonsense judgment by the prediction
that the Northern Republican politi-
clans ard press will at once begin an
agitation for the repeal of the sugar
bounty law.

MILITARY MEN.
The Question of the Martial Display at the
Worlds Fair.

CHICAGO, Ill, Oct 21.-There was a
large assembly of military men gathered in
the Worlds fair rooms to-day TO discuss the
subject of the military representation at
the fair convention. 1t was made up
of men from all the states in
the Union. National guard officers,
Worlds fair Commissioners with Loyal Lee
gian buttons on their lapels, and regular
army officers sat side by side and talked Of
military matters. j. d. Adams occupied
the chair. Col. w. B. Bird of Minnesota
offered the following resolution:
Resolved, that it is eXpedient to have
military display at the dedication of the
exposition in 1892, and the several
states be requested to send as large
q force as possible of the National guard
at that time. Also, that as shelter and sub
sistence in Chicago are to be furnished to
10000 troops by the exposition company, the
several states should pay the expenses OF
transportation.
Gen. Ordway moved that the convention
cooperate with the Veterans committee in
future.
No action was taken on any of the resolu-
tions.
The conventions djourned till tomorrow.
The chair appointed the following i'm
portaut committees:
Legislation-Gens. Ordway, Henry, EN-
bier and Wickham and Col. Bend.

AN ALIEN Law ADVOCATE

The alien land law as enacted by the last
legislature seems to be doomed. Two dis
trict judges have recently held it uncon-
stitutional and the chances are that the su-
preEle court Will take the same view. Some
features of the law may have been harsh
and radical. yet the principle on which it
IS based and the objects for which it was
passed are sound and good. That the pres
eut legislature at an extra session or the
next legislature at its regular session will
re-enact 1t or one substantially similar
there is but little doubt. The people, with
but few exceptions, favor such law. The
exceptions are those who are largely en-
gagged in the wildcat schemes OF booming
towns and business enterprises for purely
personal, individual profit Crockett
Courier.
Crockett is in Houston county, and
Houston county is in East Texas.
Houston county is finished, it has moth
ing to gain by being permitted to Dor
row money-Houston county gets all the
surplus money it can use from the
state. Houston county pays into the
state treasury s11.S00 annually and
draws out of the state treasury $4,000
annually, or 5000 annually more than
IL pays IN.
The Courier is edited by statesman,
an alien land law statesman, who, being
one of the benefciaries OF system that
nets his county an annual profit of
$1,000, would deny the people of other
counties the privilege Of borrowing
money for the purpose OF town and
farm Improvement
1t never occurred to the Courier,
perhaps, that it is none OF the Cou-
rier's business whether other peo-
pie borrow money or not. whether
other people desire to improve
their condition or not. All coun-
ties in Texas are not so happily
situated as is Houston county-all other
counties do not receive from the state
treasury more than they pay into it.

THE demand for silver dimes is now
so great that they are being turned out
at the rate OF 100000 day. Not less
than S3,1I6,477 in silver dimes have
been made in three years past. For
this purpose all the uncoined and mutt
lated silver coin is being reworked,
notably the silver half-dollar, which is
clumsy pocket piece and very unpopu-
lar. The novelty banks which the
dime savings institutions are sending
out are supposed to be ansv cradle for
the sudden and unprecedented demand.
The minis at Philadelphia, New
Orleans and San Francisco have been
for some time and are now busy making
dimes.

WHAT 1T LOOKS LIKE.

The only protected Southern indus
try was that OF sugar production. The
demand has persistently been made at
the North for free sugar, but the Re-
publican party's record in favor of pro-
lection would not allow it to remove
the duty from sugar while increasing
the tariff on the other uecessaries OF
life, and the Democrats commended that
if the tariff on sugar was to be removed
or cut down, the same thing should be
done TO other protected industries. The
Mckinley bill, however, made bold
stroke, and put sugar on the free list
while recommending the sugar growers
with bounty of > cents a pound on
their production. By this means sugar
was made cheap TO the consumer, ap-
parently, though he was taxed to pay
the : cents pound subsidy, which was
not noticed.
That is the history Of recent sugar.

The armies of the world, or rather
of the civilized nations, include 3,6O0,-
600 men. These men, and almost as
many more who are required 10 wait
upon them in some form or other, are
consumers and not producers of the
worlds supply OF food. Besides the
loss OF their time and labor, they cost
at least $1,000 year each, and that
amounts to $4,000, coo, 900. In proportion
to population our army of 1000 men is,
by far. the smallest in the world.

CARTRIDGE FACTORY ExPLoDEs
Three Men KILLED and Their Bodies Gre
mated-Others Injured.

CLEVELAND, ONO, Oct. 21.-The factory
of the United States mine supply company
was completely destroyed by explosions,
followed by fire, shortly after 5 o'clock this
afternoon. Three parsons were killed and
several injured. The factory was recently
established in an old brick stable on Wilson
avenue, and made fuses, cartridges, etc,
for mining operations, using the different
preparations of gun cotton, dynamite. nitro
glycerine and gunpowder. The first eX-
plosion was heavy one, blowing the roof
nearly off and shattering the walls.
The shock was felt for half mile
away Shouts and screams were heard
inside the building then all of the twelve
employees, excepting three, tumbled pell-
nell out Of the windows and doors. Sew
eral other lighter explosions followed, send
ing bricks in all directions, and in a few
minutes the flames Were at work. The
fire was subdued and in few hours
the charred bodies of John Fink, Afford
Schaf1er and Paul Pfannkuche, anephew of
the president of the company, were dug
out of the ruins. Minnie Peck, an employee
was severely cut and bruised, and other
employees were injured but not severely.

THE defeat OF the force bill has not
quoted its champions. The New York
Age encourages hope for it in this
style:
OF course the Federal election bill is not
dead. Why should it be! 1t incorporates
principle as eternal as the constitution
which guarantees the right of congress TO
pass law placing Federal elections under
the control of Federal authority,-by which
elections in which all the people are inter-
ested shall be controlled by all the people
The Republican party is committed to the
enactment of Federal election law, and it
cannot get away from the promise.
As long, however, as the Democrats
have control of the lower house-a con-
troll given to them on account of, among
other things, the Republican party'5
advocacy of this very force bill-it is
not going to make any considerable adj
vance. But the South must see to it
that the party that stands for the force
bin does not again get the ascendancy
in the house of representatives

The presence of a number of armed
war-ships in the harbor of Valparaiso
will do more to lead the Gillian gov
eminent to recognize the justice of the
United States demands for redress and
indemnity than all the diplomatic talk
that Secretary Blaine and Minister
Egan can give the junta. The Chilians,
like all ignorant people, are impressed
only by the immediate and present
show of force. They know nothing OF
the great resources and power of the
United States. To them, it is only one
of several countries, as Peru and the
other South American states, and their
recent successful war with Peru has
made them so foolish and vain that
they may imagine they can deal with
the United States in the same manner.
Half a dozen iron-clads at hand will
give emphasis to President HarrisOn's
demands as nothing else will, and go a
great way toward keeping the peace.
