of the Iowa excursion party through
the south In tho latter part of October.

he says of their visit TO Port Gibson
We left Yicksburg al 7:30 Friday
morning, passing over quito rough
country down 20 Port Gibson, where
the forces under General Grant In 1868
fought the first great battle In tho
subjugaiion of Yicksburg. As tho
train pulled up We found carriages in
waiting TO take us through the city.
The procession was headed by band,
preceded by colorcd man who car
riod the stars and stripes. We were
shown through and inspected cotton
seed oil mill that employs hundred
men and has a capacity OF $50 tons per
day. We did not visit the mammoth
brick yard that Is operated by steam
with n capacity OF 100000 brick per
day, as our time was too limited. As
we were returning TO the hotel we
called Mt the courthouse where large
number Of coIorcd teachers were
passing their examinations. The su-
pcrintendcnt informed us that some oI
them were college graduates. They
use tho same examination questions
there that are used in New York, and
wc weFo informed that most of the
papers written by those people were
good. The coIored race were making
rapid advancement along the educa-
iional line, the school money being
divided equally between the two ra-
ces. The teachers present were most
ly OF the pure African type. We were
next taken to The hotel, where, seated
at the table, we listened to an address

Above the passions OF bis clay;
Nor fears remorse, nor feels she sc0urge
OF conscionoe with The ended day.
He has no greed for w.salth that's won
By bargain in the marts Of SIN,
Nor lust for fame whose paans mock
The hollow heart that walls within.
His lips attuned TO natures Tyre,
lie sings a. sang the early stars;
His clean hands snited 10 Gods plan,
Ills handiwork no blemish mars.
He gives 10 aIl unselfsh dne,
Nor claims what Others may not share;
And every cry 0f woe bespeAks
Ills ready bounty with bis prayer.

THE SILVER BILL In THE HOUSE.

Monday was field day, as well as
record-making day, in the house of Rep
resentativrs. The speaker. in his efforts
20 obtain fair play for the majority of his
party. was compelled to be more arbitra.
ty in his rulings than ever WAS Mr. Reed
in the Fit, first Congress. He went 70
far as 10 squarely reverse a decision of
Mr.. Carlisle. The speaker 10 whom the
Democrats have heretofore pointed with
p'ide aud contrasted with Mr.. Reed.
The plea of czarlsm which the Democrats
used SO effectively in 1890 WAS shown up
in all Its bald humbuggery. and the
country has probably heard the last of it..
But this was not the only nor the most
important triumph of the Republicans.
In spite of the dodging OF the Democrats,
they were compelled to face the music
and plump one way or the other on the
silver question. 1t would have been q
plaintive scene had it not been SO Judi
cruus The wrigglings of an eel are tame
compared with the writings and con-
tortl"ns of that section of the Democrat
&c party which s;rOve to perprtuate until
after the fall elections the fiction that the
party Is IN favor of honest money. But
they had to come to it.
1t is preposterous to imagine that the
intelligent voters in the North will toler-
ate such juggling with the national cur
rency as would fuice the wage-earner to
a. ctpt seventy cent coin for dollar >
worth Of work. aud that is exactly what
would occur were the Free Silver bill to
bec0me "a law. This. of itself is sutfi
cient to determine the fate of the Demo-
cracy. without considering the havoc
that would be wrought in financial cir

bly, overtake all branches of industry
