DISGUSTING HYPOCRISY

Cleveland Leader.
The time-worn excuse of the Southern
Democrats for their unlawful and wicked
disfranchisement of the Republican
masses, by means of fraud and terror
ism, is that persistent violation of the
Constitution and the laws is necessary
to save society from the rule of ignorant
and immoral classes unfit for the duties
of citizenship. Yet what do we see in
Louisiana? The Democratic party is
torn asunder over the question of legal
izing and perpetuating the most ruinous
and infamous gambling institution in
the country. Half of the Louisiana
Democrats are openly in favor of de-
Tending and fostering a lottery out
lawed by the Federal Government, so
far as its authority extends, and every
where regarded as a monstrous crime.
Many of the honored leaders of the
Louisiana Democracy are trying to bring
about the sale of their States honor for
a yearly tribute, and the Democratic
opponents of the lottery plague have
been forced TO put bolting ticket in
the field. On the other hand, the Re-
publicans are united. They have held
harmonious convention and nominated
a single ticket, and they propose to
make their contest under a banner on
which is written unfiinching opposition
to the lottery power and unsparing de-
nunciation of all forms of gambling and
all bargains with the gamblers who are
seeking to use the authority of the State
in their defense.
What do Northern men who have
been somewhat disposed to look upon
the outrages of Southern Democrats as
necessary crimes think of the specious
pleas by which they have been misled,
in the light of the existing situation in
Louisiana? Shall not parties be judged
by their works rather than by their
professions? Of how much value are
the fine words of pharisaical bulldozers
and sanctimonious ballot box suffers
who would sell their State to lottery
and are now endeavoring to elect
white mans ticket" for the benefit of
a huge gambling ring? 1t is sickening
to honest men to witness the present
position of the Louisiana Democracy
and then read the hypocritical pleas of
Southern Bourbons for freedom to
commit wholesale political crimes for
the good of society and the safety of
the public morals.

PUBLIC OPINION.
WHO WANT FREE WOOL?

WHO WANT FREE WOOL:
Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette.
The advocates Of tariff reduction, who
have hit upon the expedient of attacking
the Mckinley act in spots, believe that
the proposition for free wool will receive
the most united support, and is, there
fore, most likely to receive legislative
sanction. 1t is because of this sanguine
expectation that Chairman Springer and
the other Democrats on the Ways and
Means Committee are taking the great
est possible care to have the free-wool
bill in the least Objectionable form, so
that it will not provoke unnecessary
antagonism. 1t is understood, OF course,
that the placing of raw wool on the free
list will be followed by the removal OF
what are known as the compensatory
duties on wooden goods. As contem-
porary expresses it, there will be no pro-
lection left to the manufacturers, the
duties being reduced to apurely revenue
basis.
This raises the question, Who want
free wool and a reduction of the duties
on wooden goods? 1t has been assumed
that the manufacturers will be greatly
benefited and that they will be delighted
at the prospect. But there is no truth
in this. The National Wool Manufact-
urers' Association has forwarded a
petition to Congress deprecating a re-
newal of tariff agitation, asserting that
the proposed changes in the woolen
schedules are not based on any real ad-
vantage which would result to the do
mestic manufacturer or the domestic
consumer. and that as manufacturers
they are satisfied with the existing
tariff law" They think they are entitled
to period of rest and beg "to be left
alone, that they may pursue their In
dustry in peace and with reasonable
degree of confidence"
1t is clear that the manufacturers do
not want any tariff tinkering, and where
is there the least evidence that the con-
sumers of wooden goods are clamoring
for lower duties? They, too, are evil
IDENTIFY satisfied with the tariff, realizing
that under its operations they have not
only not been robbed, as free-traders
predicted, but they have been able to
purchase their supplies as cheaply and
of as good quality as ever before.
1t amounts to this, then. that the only
persons who are exerting themselves in
behalf of free wool and lower duties on
wooden goods are the radical free
traders, who, through the instrumental
ity of the Democratic party, propose to
destroy the tariff root and branch by at
tacking it in detail. They pretend to
be acting solely in the interest of the
oppressed" manufacturers and the
"pillaged" consumers, but, as we have
shown, these classes are quite satisfied
and are opposed to any change. The
real animus of the free-traders is to re-
store the old order of things under which
importers and dealers in foreign goods,
by fraudulent undervaluations and other
devices, swindled the government and
flooded the country with cheap goods,
to the great disadvantage Of home man.

A coLoREp SERVANT AT. COURT.

COLoRED SERVANT AT COURT.
Washington Post.
There is colored messenger at the
Department of State who has been at
tached to the service for many years
in one capacity and another, and is val
ned by officials because of his intelli-
gence and general usefulness. The old
gentleman tells an incident ILLUSTRATING g
the potency of clothes on either side of
the Atlantic.
He was over a few years since as gen
eral utility man to a party of distin-
guished statesmen on an important di-
plomatic mission. The party was bid
den to an important social function at
one of the Continental courts, and as
the affair took place in the afternoon
the diplomats started out arrayed in
their finest frock coats according to the
best American usage. Only the color
ed aid de camp, who went along to look
after coats and hats, wore the usual
dress suit of his position.
When the party arrived at the palace
the colored contingent, who did not
know the lingo, found himself hustled
through the dressing room by lot of
liyeried lackeys, and before he could
realize the situation ushered alone into
the presence of royalty. There is no
color prejudice on the other side, and
he was taken for the chief representative
of the American republic.
When he escaped from the unexpect-
ed prominence it was to find himself
alone in a strange tongued city. The
rest of the delegation, as he learned
when he found his way back, had been
sternly excluded because of their uncon-
ventional uniforms. The old gentleman
frequently relates with glee how he car
ried off the honors for the joint high
commission.

PETER AND THE CONSTITUTION.
New York Press.
The long whiskered United States
Senator from Kansas has met with a
serious shock at the very beginning of
his career in Washington. Mr.. PETER
has always had an idea that he knew
all there was worth knowing about leg
islation for the benefit of the people.
Almost his first action in the Senate was
to introduce bill to authorize the
Secretary of the Treasury to loan to the
farmers of Indiana $l00,000,000 on ap-
proved first mortgages. The bill was
promptly referred to the committee on
Agriculture, which has just decided that
it has 40 authority and that the Senate
has no authority in the matter, and has
returned the bill to the Senate with such
a report. Unless Senator PETER hires
a constitutional lawyer to scrutinize and
pass upon bills that he may prepare on
similar lines for introduction into the
Senate he will find himself the laughing
stock of the country.

THE DUCHESS OF TECK.

Pail Mall Gazette.
The betrothal of pretty Princess Mary
of Teck, writes correspondent, recalls
the days when the Duchess of Teck was
a girl. remember well how she was
the heart and soul of all the gayeties at
the Castle of Mecklenburg- StrelitZ, even
at the age when she had hardly entered
into her teens. She was lovely girl,
but a romp and tomboy of the first or
der, from whose practical though inno-
cent Jokes, nobody at the castle was
safe. If all the candles in a room went
suddenly out, or if ghostly forms ap-
peared to visitors on their way to their
bedrooms, Princess Mary was sure to
be at the bottom of the plot.
One winter evening, continued the
same correspondent, stands out espe-
cially in my memory. A party of chill
dren were frolicking about the castle.
Princess Mary the brightest and gayest
amongshem. They were playing about
the corridors, and have very vivid
recollection of seeing the Princess rush
along in wild haste, pursuing one of
her visitors. Suddenly her hair, which
was held up at the back of her head by
an arrow-shaped ornament, came down
and enveloped her as in shower of
gold. / never saw such lovely hair as
that of the Duchess of Teck when she
was a girl. As she flew along, with
flashing eyes and burning cheeks, she
twisted the mass of hair into golden
coil, dashed the arrow through it
and vanished into a gallery. She was
favorite with everybody, girl of re-
markably sunny temper, and even her
tutors and governesses were always on
her side, though they confessed that she
was "a fair handful"
