The Mckinley bill put sugar on
the free list "a reduction of 2 cents
per pound, and the republican press
is referring to this saving as a grca
card to draw to. The New York
Herald comments as follows on the
inconsistency of that party; GAS we
understand it, the reason for this
immense jubllatIon is found in the
fact that cheap sugar is regarded by
the republicans as a good thing. 1t
reduces the cost Of living and is q
boon to the wage Garner. We are
impelled to ask, therefore, whether
cheap sngar is the only blessing
which ought to be conferred upo0
the poor? Why not give them cheap
clothing, also, and cheapaeverything
else? Why take &c per pound off
sugar and put tax of SOC on the
price Of of wooden shirt or petti>
coat2 If the principle is a sound one,
and it is not true, after all, that
cheap necessaries of life make cheap
men, why in the name Of common
sense should the benefaction be con-
fined to one article rather than ex-
tended to all?

Last Mondays american contained
the following: "The passengers on
the incoming N. & G.. train Sunday
morning were given q rare treat IN
the shape Of a pugilistic encounter
between q well-known drummer who
resides at Columbia, Tenn, and a
woman who was travelling with her
daughter and husband from Chatta-
nooga to their home in Missouri.
"The drummer boarded the train at
a small station above Tullahoma, and
as there was no other vacant seat in
ensconced himself beside the daughter
mentioned. The young lady was sew
eral seats in the rear of her parents,
and at the time of the drummer's
entrance she was firmly in the en-
brace of Morpheus. The lnasher'S in
trusion did not waken the dreamer,
and as the former thought this fair
traveller was unpr. te ID he proceeded
to take advantage of the situation q ID
have little harmless fun.
His first and only breach OF decOrum
was to imprint kiss upon the dim
pied cheek of the young lady. Some
say it was accompanied by an en-
brace.
"This act quickly awakened the
young lady and she cried to her par
ents for protection, Two or three
words of explanation sufficed, and
the drummer suddenly found him,
self in "hOt-box,"
"Both parents became furious, but
the mother showed the irate male
protector aside, claiming the privi-
| lege of settling with the party. She
was large, muscular woman, and
after few bouts, in which she dis
played a remarkable degree Of fistic
science, the travelling man found 1t
very difficult to even guard and
feint. He was getting considerably
wOrsted when Conductor w. N. Aus
tin came to his rescue by prOmisiI z
the young lady's parent that he
would put the drummer off the train
This partially Gained the Mis-
sOuFlans, The conductor, instead OF
fulfilling his promise, thought that
the knight of the grip had been suffi-
GENTLY punished and carried him
into ano her car, The father learning
that the badly used up man was on
the train went in search of him with
his pistol in hand. Here his better
half again interfered, and locating
the terrOrized drummer she proceeded
to give him another pummeling
While the second round was going on
he train stopped at TullahOma and
the drummer made his escape"
