A Working CONGRESS-.

Reviewing the legislation accomplish

ahead of any sessions held since the war,
and as time rolls along the greater will
be the respect for its achievements;

which have become laws. A tariff act
compromising on entire revision; an adj
ministrative customs act designed to Sc.

Protection the Citizens Right.

A nation should first of all be just to
those citizens upon whom its existence
depends To support our government,
enforce ITS laws and maintain its stand
ing among the nations of the earth a
large revenue is required to be regular
" forthcoming. backed by an unlimited
reserve Of both men and money which
can be drawn against in cases of emer-
gency Not only is every citizen forced
to pay taxes on his property, but, except
in eases of infrmitY, his person is held
liable for military and jury service, and
he is never exempt from call to aid in
preserving the peace Of society and en-
forcing the laws of the land.
II is in behalf of these citizens that
Protection demands privileges over
foreign business competitors that under
ali circumstances will fully Offset the
sacrifices they are compelled to make.
To concede them less is injusiice-for
them to accept less would be slavery.
From the standpoint of equity. foreign
producers have DO more right to free
admittanee to the markets of this coun-
try for their wares than they would
have. if here. to occupy the business
houses of our merchants without first
making terms satisfactory to the owners.
OF course these foreign competitors
prefer not 10 pay for the privileges they
so much desire. and hence have all
along conceived it to be their interest to
see to it that their preferences were
given vigorous emphasis in our politics
whenever voters were called upon to
select representatives for enacting and
enforcing national legislation. The
ingenuity evinced by these advocates of
free foreign trade in concealing from
voters the real question at issue, and
the energy with which voters have been
urged to believe that the interests of
their country would be best promoted
BY extending TO foreign business rivals
privileges necessarily beyond reach Of
its own people, would be especially
commendable if brought to the support
of some wolthier object than advance
ment of legislation dictated by the
British Golden Club and supported by
the unanimous voice of foreign press.
During the century that has interviewed
since the first Congress declared against
the commercial domination of England,
American voters have never failed to
reiterate their opposition to foreign die
tation in shaping the economic leg:s-
lation of tliis country and there is no
probability that the national policy of
protection for home industries will be
reversed so long as voters are permitted
to understand the real ann of self-styled
reforms Of our tariff laws.

On last Tuesday evening at $50 O'Clock
Mr.. Felix Miller, of Orange, Texas. and
Miss Millie Levy, of Brookhaven, were
united In marriage at Heuck's Hall by
Rabbi Heller, of New Orleans. The Hall
had been prettily decorated for the aus
picious event, and, at the appointed
hour, beneath the bright lights
inspired by Meudelsshon's We'd
ding March played by Mrs. Zollie
Daniels, the beautiful bridal party
entered. The bride and groom took their
places beneath the large floral marriage
bell, Immediately in front of the gifted
Rabbi upon the stage, and, surrounded by,
the attendants, the scene was an impress
sive one. They were as follows:
Richard Alcus. Miss Sarah Levy.

Richard Scherck. Miss A. Lewenthal.

The ceremony was performed in most
striking and solemn manner by Rabbi
Heller; after which congratulations were
showered upon the young couple by the
many relatives and invited guests present.
The wedding feast was one, sumptuous
and delightful; which being over, Rabbi
Heller read numerous kilograms from dis
tant ones expressing good wishes and con-
CALCULATIONS.
The bridal presents numbered three
score and ten, beside others awaiting her
in Texas, and were both elegant and USE
full, as well as ornamental.
The young people danced the glad hours
away until the early dawn, when Mr..
and Mrs. Miller took the train for Texas
where the best wishes of their Brook
haven friends will always abide with
them. Ar. Miller, who once lived in
Brookhaven, is now successful young

DEATH OF MRS. o. ii. MARTIN.
A Sons Tribute to his.Dearly Beloved
Mother.

Mother.
DIED.-At the residence of her cousin,
Mrs. Emily Kerr, at Brandon on Thursday,
Jan. 10Th, 1891, IN the 59tE year of her
age, Mrs. OPHELIA III. MARTIN of this
city.
Mrs. Martin was the daughter of Major
John II. Mallory, for many years State
Auditor of Mississippi, and the mother of
the late Hon. John II. Martin, editor of
the New Mississippian, of Marion Martin
and of E. L. Martin of this paper. On
the day following her death, the body was
tenderly laid away in the cemetery at
Brookhaven, beside that of her lamented
son, about whom her affections had been
so warmly and closely entwined in life.
1t is with eyes dimmed with tears and
u heart almost sinking under its burden
of grief, that the writer records the
death, and seeks to pay Il simple tribute
of filial love to an angel mother. 1t has
been beautifully said that "mother" is the
sweetest word in the English language,
and that mothers love is the barometer
of God But all, how little do we realize
its truth, or appreciate the value of the
priceless jewel that was ours until it has
been transferred from the mine of time to
the corOnet of eternity. Never yet has
lIElfi0eF cOiIlfidSScu the SuOTcltSS DOUHtS
of mothers love, nor plummet sounded
its uufathomable depths. Closed in death
is the eye that watched with tender sOIic-
itude from the dawning mOments of in
fancy to the noontide hours of our man
hood pulseiess the hand that guided our
Youthful feet in the pathway of duty /;
hushed forever, the music of that voice
that spoke only in Kindness. and coun-
seletl only ia wisdom; forever still the
once warm heart that throbbed with
naught save Christian love and charity.
At morning, we shall miss the bright
brave words of encouragement and cheer
that arnored us for the contests of the
day; at noon, we shall MISS the sweet
kiss of welcome that greeted our return :
and no more shall be kDewn at eventide
the gentle blessing and peaceful henedic-
ton that attended duty well performed.
But green in our heart will live Il blessed
memory, that will brighten and brighten
as time steals away; and from that far
spirit land will be waited back an ever
present influence, inspiring to lottier aims
and nobler deeds. that can never die.
