Sore Hands and GrowIern.

The American says: "The indica-
lions now are that the cause of tariff
reform has been deliberately sold
ouj. If Mr.. Crisp had not deter
mined to crafty the protection Dem
orIats who supported him, he would
never have dreamed OF degrading
his hOnorod rival from the head Of
the Ways and Means Committee and
putting there wordy, vaporinE pol
iticiau to make a great question
small by his incompetent leader
ship" This is outrageous talk from
leading Democratic journal, hold
ing party success above personal
ambition. Some time ago, the
American had the party greatly di-
vided on the silver question and Il
perfect unit on the tariff reform issue,
and now it is trying to make its
readers believe that the party is torn
all to pieces on the tariff question,
and that the majority Of Democrats
in Congress who supported Crisp are
protectionists. This is a wild mis-
representation of the facts there are
no protection Democrats; they are
all for tariff reform, but differ as to
the policy. Mr.. Crisp and his sup.
porters are in favor of a compact bill,
putting salt, binding Irvine, cotton
ties, wool, ores, lumber and other

If The Governor understands, as he
probably does, that the people of
Tennessee will soon get tired of
maintaining a standing army, he
will give the military instructions to
promptly hunt down and Jail every
leader or man prominently connected
with the Briceville mob, arson and
robbery, and every one known to
give advice or COuntenance to the
proceedings, and make it possible to
maintain law and order without the
military or extra guard. The sheriff
and other civil officers Of Anderson
county also need hauling over the
Goals. If the Governor goes at the
business in this kind of way he will
greatly establish himself in the con-
fidence Of law-abiding people.

Eighteen months ago the Demo-
cratic party was strongly united and
solid on both tariff reform and free
coinage, and on these two issues the
great Democratic majority in the
lower House of Congress was elected.
Now the party is divided on both of
these Issues. These divisions can't
be charged to Crisp, German, Hill,
Tammany Hall or the Alliance, for
all stand in favor of both measures
Just as they did eighteen months ago.

What has the Tammany Democ-
racy done to deserve the terrible
anathemas hurled at them every
day by newspapers claiming to be
Democratic? Is not the party in
debted to Tammany for the election
of President Cleveland in 1884, and
for every Democratic victory gained
in New York? Suppose they are
bad fellows, tigers, toughs, and all
that, can't Democrats who have

Diversified Farming.

DR.. d. G. Goodwin, Commissioner
Of Agriculture, has undertaken a
great work in which if he pushes it
to successes he will accomplish more
than any other commissioner has,
and that is educating and organizing
farmers for diversified agriculture.
DIR. Goodwin comes from the cotton
growing district, where the farmers
are just now groaning under the
losses on cotton at 6 cents pound,
just as tobacco planters have been
suffering, and he is first devoting his
efforts to induce the cotton planters
to reduce the acreage in cotton and
devote portion of the land to corn,
stock and other things that make the
farm self-sustaining and the owner
Independent. Other State commits
sioners in the cotton belt have joined
him in the move and a convention
for this purpose has been called to
meet at Memphis January 6. The
same remedy applied to the cotton
belt is also good for our tobacco
planters, and that is what interests
the LEAF-CHRoNICLE most. We
want to see great turn out of farm
ers to the Union Warehouse tobacco
fair and corn show tomorrow to
hear DR.. Godwin's speech, catch the
spirit of the movement and go to
work for general system of i'm
prOvement and change of policy.

Mills Not Removed or Degraded.

The mugWump journals are la
menting as the greatest calamity
that could have befallen the Demo,
cratic party the removal" or the
displacement of Mr.. Mills from
the craftsmanship of the Ways and
Means Committee by Speaker Crisp,
just as if Mr.. Mills held that place
by natural born right over all other
Democrats and there was no other
man in Congress capable of discharg-
ing that duty. Mr.. Mills is not
chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee to be removed, retired,
displaced or degraded. Mr.. Mills
did occupy that position in the Fiji
tieth Congress, from which emanated
the Mills bill that the Democrats
went to battle on in 1888 and were
defeated. Mr.. Mills appointment
expired with That Congress, and Mr..
Reed, being elected on a different
policy, did not see proper to reap
point Mr.. Mills as chairman of that
committee, but gave Mr.. Mckinley
the place. Mr. Mills made his old
bill or policy an issue in the Speaker
ship campaign and was defeated by
Mr.. Crisp on a different policy, and
consequently is not the man to lead
the Democratic majority. He sulked
and declined to accept the appoint
ment unless he could name his own
colleagues and carry out his own
policy, and to place him at the head
of that committee in Difference to the
minority would not only be dcgrad-
ing to the Speaker, but would defeat
the party policy, MIR. Mills is simp.
ly the defeated and not the removed
or degraded, beyond his own acts in
and refusing to work with
the majority after a different policy
from his own has been decided on.

Jockey Superstition.

For some reason or other the average
colored jockey is SO brimful Of super
stition that he can hardly get down to
weight. Jack Crittenden, the we'll
known colored jockey, now living at
Gloucester, would rather lose every race
for year than see snake or bullfrog.
The stable boys discovered this the other
day and one of them placed dead snake
in Jacks bunk. The poor little fellow
when he touched the clammy reptile,
grew ashy in his terror, flew out of his
stable into the night and no inducement
strong enough has been found for his re-
turn. He firmly believes that the dead
snake was an evil omen, and that he is
hoodooed. Yesterday somebody slyly
placed a dead frog in Jacks pocket.
The jockey firmly believes that the frog
jumped into his pocket and died. To pre-
vent recurrence of this kind he cut
every one of his pockets out yesterday
afternoon and sewed up the openings. -

Bathing in the Park Fountain.

The policemen in the City Hall park
have their hands full now that the warm
weather has arrived, and with it the
consequent flow of water in the fountain.
About noon each day forty or fifty
youngsters, mostly newsboys, gather
about the pool and amuse themselves by
sticking their heads and feetin the water
while others with sticks, strings anc
bent pins endeavor to snare the fish
which some of them believe exist beneath
its surface. One youth was sousing his
head while, as he thought, the policeman
was patrolling the opposite side of the
park.
Another boy seized the bare legs which
stuck up in air and pushed the bather's
head about foot under water He was
SO engaged in this. pleasing homicidal
effort that he did not see the approach OF
the gray coated guardian until a rattan
descended with telling effect. The i'm
mersed youth got similar tanning, t.
the intense delight of the other boys
The officer says that it is common thing
for these boys to battle in the fountain
at night AS they have only two gar
ments to get into, they can take plunge,
dress and get away before TIE guardian,
who may be block away, can reach
them. Anew York World.

Business Women in Yellow Trousers

We are now assured that the business
woman's dress is to consist of a pair of
trousers, roundabout coat and hat,
and we are told that women of taste will
aever be satisfied with such plain garb.
But why should it be PLAIN? We can
make the trousers of red or yellow, the
roundabout of blue or green, and we
can put all sorts of trimmings and laces
and ribbons on them. We can make
them of silk or velvet or any material
whatever. We can make the hat very
dainty and flowery.
We can get up all sorts of fancies fol-
the identifying of the business women's
dress, after the Woman's National coun-
Gil has come to decision about it. We
can make it plain if anybody wants it
that way, but you may be sure that few
women will wear it that way for any
great length of time. We want color in
our attire; we want delicate material for
it; we want ribbons and frills and flow
ers upon it. | believe that the fashion
plates of the new dress will look just az
pretty and stylish as those now got up
