Baltimore Sun: Capt. John s.
Herndon, a prosperous, peaceabIe
farmer of Georgia, says he has
bought neither meat, -four nor corn
for the use of his family in thirty
six years, and every year he has
had a surylus of the afore-mention-
ed articles to sell. He further SAYS
that he never saw two men fight 10
his life. Commenting on this ex-
ample the Augusta Chronicle SAYS:
"The man who lives at home, who
raises all bis own provisions, who
makes cotton his surplus crop, who
attends to his own business aud
leaves other peoples alone, who
does not embroil his neighbors or
dispute with his adversary, is in
velvet.D

GEN. JoHNsToN's FAREWELL ADDRESS
Upon taking leave of his troops al
Greensboro, in April, 1865, Gen. Jos
E. Johnston issued the following ad
dress:
GREENSBORO, N. c., April 26, 1866.
Fellow-Soldiers-In terminating
our official relations, I earnestly ex
hort you to observe faithfully the
terms of capitulation agreed upon
and to discharge the duties of good
and peaceful citizens at home, as you
have that of thorough soldiers in the
field. By such course you will best
secure the confidence of your people
and restore peace and tranquility to
your country.
l will always remember with pride
and heartfelt thanks the generous
confidence and loyal support that you
have given me, not only on the field
of battle but on the line of march.
You will now return to your homes,
with the admiration of our people,
won by the courage and devotion you
have displayed in this long war.
1 now part with you with feelings
of deepest regret, and wishing you
all the happiness and prosperity to
be found in the world, bid you an
farewell forever.
J. E. JOHNSTON.

The Mckinley Tariff Doomed.

The election of Gen. J. M. Palmer
to the Senate by the Illinois Legisla-
ature, determines the exact political
status of the next United States SEN
ate. Three vacancies were still left
to fill, but the political cast of the
new Senator's had already been set
tied. California has since sent Re-
publican to succeed Hearst, Demo
crat, who is dead: Maryland viii send
q Democrat to succeed Wilson, Dem
ocrat, who is dead, and Florida will
send a Democrat to succeed Call,
Democrat, whose term has expired.
Hearst had two years to serve, and
Wilson had just been reelected for
the full term of six years.
The Senate of the late Congress
had 81 Republicans and 81 Demo
Gratis, giving the Republicans a ma
jority of IA. The new Senate of the
Fifty-second Congress will have 46
Republicans, 40 Democrats and 2
Independents. The independents
Kyle, of South Dakota, and PETER,
of Kansas-are both positive in their
hostility to high tariff taxes and op-
posed to the policy of the Admins
tration generally.
On the vital political issues the
Senate stands 46 Republican to 42
Democrats and opposition, giving
the Republicans 4 majority; but on
the tariff issue, three of the old Re
publican Senators who are in the new
Congress, voted against the McKiu-
ley bill. These added to the AZ
Democrats and low tariff Independ-
ents, all of whom are pronounced
against the Mckinley bill, would
make as anti-McKinley tariff Sena-
tors to 43 Mckinney Republicans,
It is entirely safe to assume that
the new House will pass the repeal of
the Mckinley tariff by more than
two-thirds vote; and it is now entire
ly safe to assume that the new Sen
ate will repeal it by a decided major
ity. Of the Republican Senators who
voted for the Mckinley bill not less
than ten are known to have been OPP
posed to it and voted for it only un-
der severe party pressure. That was
before the November elections, and
with the cyclonic upheaval against
high tariff taxes in the West, there
may be others who would vote to re-
peal the oppressive tariff even over
the veto of the President.
1t is now obvious to all that the
new Congress will repeal the McKin-
ley tariff; that the House will pass
the repeal by more than two-thirds
vote, and that the Senate will repeal
it by decided majority with the
possibility of a two-thirds vote to
pass it over veto. Such is the pop
ular response to the Mckinley high
tariff; such is the impressive political
lesson of 1890.

In the middle of the fourteenth
century Europe was visited by the
most destructive plague that ever
afflicted humanity. This pestilence,
which is commonly called the Black
Plague, had It's origin in Asia. 1t
traversed its deadly course until It
reached Eastern Europe, and invaded
Italy, Germany, France and England.
According to some of the historians
OF the time, oue-third and even one
half of the population was swept
away.

Alexandria Town Talk: Let an
anti just mention anything that would
improve the schools, and Immediately
Morris gambling money is showed at
him. The antis are all in favor of
public education, but they insist that
the money for the purpose come from
the people and not from a great
gambling corporation. They do not
insist on evil that good may come of
it. They do not believe in offering
up their political liberty for public
education, levees. draining New Or
leans, etc. They propose to kill the
lottery dead and in a few years have
the best system of public education
in the South, and do it with honest
money.
