there are difficulties in the Southern

The North does not want the force bill.
DID you hear any protest from the masses of
the North when 1t was defeated: Not one

South will not forget where the Western men

amendment was never passed by the people.
1t was forced on the states as the result of
the war. l will grant that there are some
negroes who are capable of voting but there
are two million who are not. Do you think
we should get better laws by allowing two
million ignorant blacks to help make them?
If Northern people will let the negro ques-
ton alone, the solid South will cease TO exist.
Remove the fear of negro dominance and
you solve The question. Let the Southerners
be freed from this nightmare of black control

FREEDOM IN MUSIC.

In one of the New York towns there
Is local trouble over the tunes the Sal
walton Army make the conduit of their
hymns. Some in this part of the Saliva
ton Army field have been illiberal
enough to insist that they do not use
tunes in their public paradeS. But the
point made in the New York trouble is
that the tunes are not reverent and Or
thodoX. Among those that shock are
''lrish Mary" No Flies on Him. and
marching Through Georgia." 1t has
been supposed there is no lack of mel
ody or inspiration in such tunes.
Whether it is the Indictment that leads
upward or in some less celestial direc-
ton, is perhaps matter of cOntro-
yerSy. There are styles in re-
ligious music, as there are in dog
mas and creeds, Those of a few
centuries ago are ruled out by the evo-
lutlons of the new times. The musical
features of the old time would gra te on
the more decOrOuS religious nerves of
the present. The old Puritans would
not tolerate Instrumental music in their
worship. 1t is only within the past
generation that the organ has been tol-
Grated in Methodist churches. 1t Is re-
membered that the ancient brethren
often took their hats and stamped ont
when the organ came in. In st. Paul
church not long since violin obligato
gave some of the pillars the st. Vitus
dance. A French horn will give an
agueish shake to almost auy orthodox
structure. There Is then no absolute
standard for the Salvation ARMY. II
may be allowed almost any latitude, as
long as there is room for those who do not
like the tunes to get out OF their range.

the foremost political issue of the day.
Around each of them it has been posi-
bic to rally cheering masses, who were
eager for the triumph of cause as we'll
as the elevation of a man. The party
has always honored leaders conspicuous,
not only for ability, but also for their
connection with some constructive work
in Statecraft OF the first importance.
There will either have to be an abrupt
and unlikely departure from this firmly
planted custom, or Mr.. HILLS friends
will have to show that his career will
warrant measurement by this standard,
if he seriously proposes to enter the lists
against Mr.. CLEVELAND, before the
Chicago convention. Perhaps they will
be able to do this. Perhaps they will
not try to. In any event, the GLOBE has
confidence in the Democracy's wisdom
and patriotism. 1t feels sure that,if the
victory is not with it in the fall, it will
not be because of the lack of worthy

PRACTICAL ADVICE.

The policy of Mr.. SPRINGERin attack
ing the Republican high tariff By sep
arate bills has received hearty indorSe-
ment from an unexpected source. Hon.
DAVID A. WELLS, than whom none
other stands higher as political econo-
mist and ardent champion of tariff re-
form, writes letter, published in the
GLOBE this morning, strongly COM
mending Mr.. SpRINGER'S policy, and
advancing cOgent reasons for the position
Thich he assumes.
The GLOBE has shown heretofore
the wisdom of this line of attack, and it Is
with no small degree of qualification that
1t is enabled to add the practical Sug-
geStionS of so able tariff commentator
as Mr.. WELLS. While the GLOBE has
illustrated the difficulties menacing
final success of a complete general
reyisoIy bill, Mr.. WELLS goes farther
and suggests that, even were both
houses of congress and the executive
Democratic, an immediate and radical
change of existing revenue laws would
not be the part of political wisdom. He
scores point in saving that it is impos-
sible to frame general bill at this
time that will not contain incongruities,
inexpediencies and possibly absurdities.
liable to provoke, even within the Dem
Ocratic party, hot partisan political dis
cuSsion. This, the GLOBE holds, is "a
position eminently correct in its appli-
cation to tariff reform per Sc. 1t is the
part of wisdom to proceed cautiously,
and with the same consideration for
home industries OF the present that we
claim to have for the welfare of the tax
payers of tie future. So much for the
POLICY of Mr.. SPRINGER concerning the
weight and Importance of reform
which is as sure TO materaliZe in the
future as is anything mutable which
can be reasonably hoped for.
In regard to the plan of tariff cam
paign, and looking toward ultimate sue
cess, the reasons for attacking the Nc
kINLEY act in detail are strictly in line
with the arguments advanced by the
GLOBE few days since. An attempt
to force through a general revisory
measure, framed perhaps with weak
points inviting attack, against the COM
bined hosts of the Republican opposi-
tion, is simply to court defeat. The re-
sisting parties would be held together
by the cohesive force of threatened in
tereSts. To attack the law in detail
necessarily means to attack separate in
terests, fortified solely by a few defend
ers at time. In this way safety lies,
and success is promising.

GUARDING EGAN.
Santiago Officials Fear UnruIy
Characters.

Santiago Officials Fear UnruIy
Characters.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Sin the absence
of definite information respecting the
reason for the placing of police guard
around the United States legation in
Santiago. as reported today, officials of
the state department are incliued to
doubt the correctness of the report. If
it be true. however, they look upon it
as friendly intervention in behalf of
Minister Egan against the probable as
saults of some unruiy characters
in the city, disposed still to
hold unfriendly sentiments toward
the representative of this government.
The reports from Santiago the past few
days have all agreed that that the feel
ing towards Mr.. Egan has greatly i'm
proved, and especially iii official circles,
and upon this foundation officials in
Washington take favorable view of
the probabilities in that city.
The state department has received no
cablegram from Mr.. Egan for several
days, the last one being simply an &C.
acknowledgement that be had received
Secretary Blai1e's cablegram that
Chili's apology was acceptable to the
United States. The department expects
to hear from Minister Egan officially as
to the report that Judge of Crimes Fos-
ter had announced the finding in the
Baltimore assault cases. The sentences
are thought to be quite light, and the
fact that no one is held responsible for
Higgins death provoked some criticism
in official circles.

SIGNS PLAYING OUT.

Prof. FOSTER is perhaps the mos
widely known and accepted of the
weather prophets who are doing at all
steady work. His forecasts are assumed
to have value enough to be copyrighted.
Still, reference is no doubt permissible
TO the fact, that his programme contains
a storm wave that is to sweep over the
continent from the LIST to the 5th of Feb
ruary. In this latitude it is to be so
frigid as not to embarraSs curling clubs
or any use of concealed water. The
thinneSs of the accomplishment in this
case SO far leads to distrust of the still
seyerer storm that is to appear from the
18th to the 9th. But the unofficial school
of weather prophets is getting pretty
we'll out of business, and the govern
ment prognosticators only anticipate
movements already incepted. Since
the weather conditions have be-
come a matter of definite record
most of the old signs have gone out of
use. The figures have an ugly way of
colliding with the Judgments of the
memory. For instance, few persons
would readily accept the statement that
the weather the past few days has aver
aged about 40 degrees warmer than the
same days last year. Last fall the old
fellow who has been observing the corn
husk for forty years insisted that it
indicated one of the old-time winters
that one pointed to as landmarks for
fierce cold and reckless storms. Most
of the tlrong OF other omens that have
come down among the superstitiens
threatened severe winter. The ami
NAL signs are probably the most reliable
when understood correctly, but the only
safe prediction is that in this section
the weather will be about the best to be
found anywhere.

SHOULD BE ALARMED.

The Republican daily at the capital of
South Dakota sounds note of warning
and alarm to its cohorts in that state.
1t admonisheS them not to let the
faction of HILL. or Tammany hypnotic
them," not to depend upon split in the
Democracy. The reference evidently is
to the Democracy of the country, not of
South Dakota. The admonitiOn is
timely, and no doubt needed. The raz-
zle dazzle the Republicans hope will
grow out of the New York situation, and
enable the Democrats to throw that state
away with good deal of miscellaneous
pointing. 1t is not the year for the
Democrats to act the fool and throw
away the prizes within reach. Repub-
licans who are looking for success
through the plumbers and folly
of the Democrats will meet dis
appointment. But the Pierre pa
per finds danger in the local situa-
tion,a land fears that hard seasons work
is before the party to keep the state in
its possession. The disaster is to come
from the cooperative movement of the
Democrats and independents. The lat
ter are to take the state offices. and the
Democrats the presidential electors.
WHAT authority there is for anticipating
this combination is not indicated. but
the cooperation in the last legislature
which resulted in an anti-MCkINLEY
senator may augur repetition OH the
same lines. Should the Democrats OBJ
tain the four electors aud one Of the
congressman by aiding the lndepend-
ents TO secure the state offices, it would
seem to the Republicans as very prac-
teal sort of politics. 1t is not too soon
for them to commence footing the party
horns. But the horn business is going
of fashion, both on cattle and in some
other quarters.

AMERICAN ANARCHISTS.
Packer Whitaker Says the Short
Sellers Are They.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 5.-"The short
seller today is the anarchist of Amer
ica," said John Whitaker. large pork
packer of st. Louis and Wichita, Kan,
today i'll an address to the house COM
mittee on agriculture in advocacy of the
aHti-options bill. Mr.. Whitaker said
that the tendency of ''shOrt" selling was
to depress prices and to interfere with
legitimate trade. Farmers, he said,
were not compelled to market their
grain instead of storing it; but the
experience of the past eight years had
taught them that holding wheat was a
losing game, and that with this unlim-
tied short selling ''beating down the
price" each year, the best time for
them TO sell grain was as soon as it was
harvested.
Wipe out, if possible, the short sell
er. the non-Owner, in other words, the
American anarchists said Mr.. Whit
taker, and added: THAT Is what he is.
| say it soberly. The short seller is to-.
day the anarchist of America, the worst
one we have, and he will make the
farmer come down ana sell his stuff I'M
der the red flag"
Mr.. Whitaker said that the wheat eX-
ported this year had averaged in price
95 cents bushel; and if this proposed
law had been i'll force he believed it
would have been considerably more
than 81 bushel. He did not believe
the law would hurt owners of real grain
or provisions, because, If fictitiOns offe r
lngs We're done away with, the market
would be supplied with actual grain or
provisions, and, there being a small er
quantity offered, prices would be bet ter.
He frequently received letters from Eu-
rope saying che writers would pay bet
ter prices for meats if the Amer lean
market would only be kept steady. But
this market could not be kept steady
when the cash price was being put
down by sales for future delivery by
every Tom, Dick and Harry.
MIR. MoSeS-You think the price of
commodities is governed by the amount
of fictitious offerings? Mr.. Whitaker
Undoubtedly.
Mr.. Moses-Do you hold that the mar
ket is not regulated by the law of sup
ply and demand? Mr.. Whittaker-Yes,
sir.
Mr.. Moses-If meat transactions were
confined to real products only. could not
the Western packers form a trust to get
control OF the actual products and put
the price away beyond the reach of the
consumer? Could not Armour, for in
stance, with his millions of money, get
control of all, or enough of the wheat,
to control the price and send it up to 50
a bushei? Mr.. Whitaker did not be-
lieve in the first place that that would
be good policy, and in the second place
did not believe the combination neeeS-
Sary to success could be formed

Locate Carriers.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Capt. Schley
will leave Washington tomorrow for
San Francisco to resume command of
the cruiser Baltimore. which vessel
will be continued on the Pacific station
for some time TO come. There is no
truth in the report that she is to go to
the Asiatic station. The navy depart
ment is just now endeavoring to head
off several Golfers that were started out
from New York during the recent
CHILEAN war preparations for the Pacific.
There were four ships in all, carry
ing total of $4,000 tons of coal. One
of them has been intercepted
at Montevideo and ordered to discharge
her cargo there and return to the United
States. A second one is expected at
the same port in few days. and efforts
are being made to learn the where
abouts of the other two. so as to reduce
the expense of transportation as much
as possible.
The navy department has not heard
from the Philadelphia since she left
Port au Prince some weeks ago en- route
for Mentevideo. She was expected to
have arrived at Montevideo on Thurs
day or Friday. The Yorktown and
Boston still remain at Callao. Peru, and
if our relations continue amicable with
Chill it is probable that neither vessel
will return to Valparaiso.
