=, ,b;. session of Congress, but 10
.mspd the Mckinley law by separate b'lis
roo1ifv;ne tariff taxation on articles most
| ,,,,of,, 20 nrove bcnefo ial TO the people.
T,nbappy experiences Of the past is the main
-ooson for this decisi on. The tariff reform
,,osition Of Mr. Cleveland. taken just before
,hs presidential elect IN OF 1888 led to the
disastrous defeat of the Democratic party,
and the ultra-rad ical tariff reform
legislation Of tie Fifty-frst Con
cress, Just prior to the election Of 1880,
led to q political revolution That year.
Hence Mr.. Springer roasops that pressing er-
IRENE tariff measures before the country Just
prior 10 = regular election has always proven
unfortunate for the party responsible there
for. and that therefore it would be exceed
insly unwise for the Democracy to make
general attack on the Mckinley tariff just BE-
fore the presidential contest Of the current
year.
Further than this no also reasons that even
If it were not impolitic to make tho expert
ment Of urging general tariff law at this
time there Is no chance that, with Repnoh-
can Senate and a Republican President any
such bill could possibly become law. The
time spent Oh it wonld on that account be
wasted and no good could possibly re-
suit BY making no attempt ut what
would undoubtedly be futile legislation,
however. and by concentrating all the energies
Of the Democratic majority il the House to
lowering the tariff on necessary articles-such
as wool. for instance-there would DO some
chance of eaecting much good, and of reduc-
ing the prices Of such articles to the people.
while at the same time tariff reform would
never be lost sight of.
These reasons given for the action OF the
Ways and Means Committee are certainly
very plausible, and no doubt the committee
have come to a wise conclusion. It Is ell
couragng. at any rate. 10 see themacting with
prudence and caution and evincing deter
mination make no blu1der.

A BILL has Just passed the. Mississippi Leg
slature granting pensions 10 all the disabled
Confederate veterans who re side in that State
One of the notable features OF the bill is that
it includes all the colored body servants of
officers, who while in attendance upon their
masters in the field were wounded to an ex-
tent that has effected their ability TO earn
livelihood. This provision OF the bill is only
one of many indications that the Southern
people are thoroughly weil disposed towards
the negro and that the rem oval of all causes
of antagonism between the races can only re-
dound to his advantage by increasing the
feeling OF kindness with which he is regarded
by the whites

The South Boston Times in its last issue
makes a very vigorous attack upon the worth
less cur which Is doing so much TO prevent
sheep culture from becoming one Of the most
profitable industries Of the State.
Our contemporary INDUCES the historical
vein and shows that the number Of worth
less dogs in community has always been
fair criterion of the wortilessness OF people.
There are the countless dogs Of CONSTANT
nople, for instance, the favored property Of
the unspeakable Turk, and there were the
dogs of ancient Egypt, which were considered
to be sacred and allowed TO overrun every
thing.
The day of the Egyptian dog has passed
but his sceptre, if the expression can be used
in a canine connection. has descended to the
Virginian rural cur. He is, according TO our
esteemed contemporary. the monarch Of all
lie surveys, and is even the lord and master
of the local political boss. and shares with
wife and children the warmest affections o.
every householder.
The picture drawn by the Times is very
deplorable, and it is all the more SO because
it is substantially true.
"A legislator" it says. may be forgiven
any radical bias he may once have shown;
may be forgiven for having once used his in
fluence for the ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of one race at
the expense Of bis own; may be forgiven a
weather-cock tendency Of shifting from party
TO party as his necessities may require may
be forgiven a faint of bribery and corruption
not sufficiently glazing to attract the atten-
ton of the law: but should he ever dare to
lift his voice or vote against the sacred
dog, then indeed has he sinned q
sin Of the nature of blasphemy.
for which sin there is no room for
forgiveness. though he may seek it with re-
pentance and tears Sheep may be muir
dered by the thousand the profits from
grazing may be destroyed nights made
dismal by the snarling and bowling of worth
less ours; no matter, he is sacred and not TO
be taxed OF disturbed in his position of high
prerogative, and thus we ally ourselves with
the despicable races, who invariably foster
and cherish the worthless cur"
We are afraid that our contem porary is
right in saying that nothing short OF a reyo-
luton will rid the rural districts of the heavy
canine burden that now weighs so heavily
upon its prosperity. Where. however, are
the forces TO be recruited that W II carry FIRE
and sword into the ranks of the dog proprie-
tors? From the country? There every man
owns his dog. From the city! The people
in the cities are Indifferent to the dog ques-
ton because it does not touch their interests
The destruction of the rural do : is a problem
of stupendous proportions that may well tax
the powers of the greatest states man to solve.
Here is a field for new propaga ndist, who can
confer incalculabe benefit upo II the State by
creating sentiment hostile to the variegated
mongrel ours that now bark defiance at the
friends Of the best interests OF the commu-
nifty. Where is the modern 2 eter the Hermit
who will begin the new cru sadey viii the
editor Of the South Boston Times undertake
this great part?

THE death of Dir. Sturgeon removes from
the field of religious thought and teaching
the most prominent figure that has occupied
it during the course of the last half century
either IN America or Europe. Mr. SpurgeOn
stood apart TO himself not only in the pre-
eminence OF his intellectual ability and per
sonal influence, but also in certain important
phases Of the religious belief which h enter
tanned 1t is a most striking testimony to the
superiority of his talents that he should have
for so many years not only maintained his
position as the minister OF one of the largest
and most intelligent congregations in the
world. but even steadily advanced in the force
and impressiyeness of his sermons. No
preacher in the last half of the present cen
tury has approached him in greatness except
Beecher man of as much genius perhaps.

elevation Of character and general purity OF lie.
THE citizens Of Bridgeport, Conn. must be

The United States Supreme Court Rem
ders Its Decision on the Tariff
Cases.
The Mckinley Law Upheld, Including
Reciprocity and Sugar Bounty
Clauses.
Another Decision Affirms the Right Of
the Speaker to Count Quorum.
Other Decisions.

WASHINGTON, March L. The Nc
Kinley tariff act was declared to be
constitutional by the supreme court OF
the United States in decision rendered
by Justice Harlan. The cases on which
the decision was based were those Of
Marshall Field, of Chicago, and Of New
York merchants, who protested against
the payment Of duties on certain woolen
dress goods and other importations
on the ground that the Mckinley bill
was not a legal and constitutional
enactment by reason of the omission
from the enrolled bill of the tobacco re-
bate clause, agreed to in conference and
contained in the bill when il passed
both houses. The court holds this omis-
sion does not make the bill Illegal. II
also holds that the reciprocity and
sugar bounty sections OF the bill are
constitutional. 1t was contended that
the reciprocity section was unconstitu-
tienal because it delegated Legislative
powers to the executive. The chief
Justice and Justice Lamar dissented
from the opinion of the court. They
contended that the legislative function
was delegated to the president by the
act

MANY DROWNED.

LONDON, Mach 1.-The Times Oporto
correspondent gives details of the fright
ful storm reported from there Saturday.
He says: 1T is reported that 300 boats
are lost and 800 persons drowned. The
loss of life is probably underrated. The
steamer Elbe made three futile at
tempts to leave Leixoes harbor on Sat-
urday and fourth attempt on Sunday
morning, which succeeded. While out
she saved a boat load of twenty men
and has not returned up the coast to
Vigo, where some boats, it is reported.
have taken refuge. The storm did not
affect shipping in Liexoes harbor."
