"The Carlisle tariff BILL
How does that strike you M
a popular title for the demo
cratic tariff bill which is to be
passed by tn e Fifty-third
Congress? Unless a number
of gentlemen who are in pos
tions to know are wrong in
their calculations Senator
Carlisle, whose resignation az
Senator will take effect the
fourth Of next month, is the
man who will lframe that bill.
The great success of the Wei
ker tariff bill, framedby Pres
ident Polk's Secretary of the
Treasury, was, it is said, what
induced Mr.. Cleveland to fol-
low the sa the plan and en- trust
the framing of a tariff bill
which is to be strictly in ac-
cord with democratic IDEAS.
to his Sec. Of the Treasury.
1t is not to be underst ,od or
inferred that this move is in.
tended to deprive the W,ys
and Means COMMITTEES of the
next House of any Of it's
rights. The idea is merely to
put into the hands of that
committee a complete tariff
bill, leaving it's members to
decide whether it shall he ac-
cepted as prepared or be a.
mended before being reported
to the House. Whatever ones
opinion of this method of
preparing the tariff bill may
be, it cannot be denied that
John G. Carlisle is by exper-
ience end ability specially
well qualified to frame the
democratic bill. He has for
many years been a leading
tariff reformer, and his ma me
attached to the bill would,
of itself, make it popular
with the rank and file Of the
democratic party.
Much curiosity is felt con-
cerning the answer that Sec
retary Foster will make to-
Representative Scott's reso-
luton: which has been nd,p.
ted BY the House, calling for
information as to the delay
in the erection ofpublic build
ings for which tie money has
been appropriated by Con-
gress. Mr.. Scott says hs ls
satisfied that the delay has
been caused by the lack Of
money in the Treasury, and
the facts are all apparently
with him; butt is hardly proI
be ble that the willy Secretary
Of the Treasury will admit
that.
Representative Bynum's re
solution, which has been adopl
ted by the House, calling on
the Civil Service Commission
to furnish q list of all the
~ 4 4 I I
men reinstated in the classi-
fed service of the Govern
lnent, under rule 10, since
March 4, 1889, together
with the date ri their dislnis-
sal or resignation from the
the states they were
from and the States charged
with Their appointment, the
date of their reii. saSement,
and the dcpertmentsin which
they were reinstated. Rule
10, referred to in this resolu-l

1t would he much better tC
absolutely suspend the Civi
Service law so fara as itrelates
to appointments and remov
ais, for the first yearof every
administra ation, as proposed
by. Rep. DeArmond's bill
now in the hands Of a House
committee, than to evade it,
rs has been done under this
administrations; besides, il
would be much more mainly
and honorable.
The favorable report to the
House on the bill repealing
all federal election laws con.
tains some very strong lam
guage, but, as the report
truthfully says, "these laws
are d continued menace to
the peace and welfare OF the
country" and nothing said
against them can be- too
strong. The House will pass
this bill, not with any exppc-
tation thatit can get through
the Senate at this session,
but to emphasize the posi-
ton of the democratic par
ty against these laws.
The republicans of the Sem
ate have apparently adopted
a sort Of go-as-you.please
pace. Two attempts have
been made within the last
week by means of caucuses,
to get them together. but
they were both failures. The
most Of them appear to wish
to avoid doing anything,
aside from some special bill
in which they are Interested,
and to bp unable to interest
a sufficient number of their
COLI agues in any one meas
llre to- get it endorsed hy Il
caucus. Having given mp
the silver question entirely
they will this week caucus on
the admission of new States.
Wheu the results of the last
'e!e:tiOn are considered the
republicans are e1cusable for
being slightly demoralized.
Senator Wolcott has Ueen.

pense Of the Postmaster Gen.
eral. He don't like Colum-

ae made q huMorous speech
in tavor of his joint resolu-
tion directing the Post Mas
ter General to stop the sals
OF them, and heraised a laugh
by saying that he had q let
ter frou, a physician saying
that if the sale of these stamps
was stopped the stock on
hard might be utilized os

mated in relation to Mr..
Wannamaker's statement
that $T.5OO,O 900 profit would
be realized from the sale of
these stamps to collectors
thIt this Government was

srHE BEASTS DEAD.S

Nashville American.
"Old Ben Butler is dead
Early yesterday morning thu
angel Of death, acting under
the DEVILS orders, took him
from earth and landed him In
hell. In all this Southern coun
try there are no tears, nc
sighs and no regrets. He liv.
ed only too long. We are
glad he has at last heen re.
moved from earth and even
pity the devil in the posses.
sion he has secured.
when Grant died, it was
with the respect and the es.
TEEN Of the Southern people.
When Sheridan died, all the
harm he did our cause du-
ring the bloody contest OF
more than a quarter of a CEN
tury ago was forgotten, and
his seeming cruelty h a d
grown to be held as love of
country and his terrific as
saults rs great generalship.
When old Tecumpseh Sher-
man passed away, the people
whom he devastated and rob
bed OF property and precious
lives were pleased to forget
the borfres he made of our
cities, the path of death he
cut to the sea, and they now
hold him as one who loved
well bis country and was cru
el only to be true.
But with Ben Butler it is
different. His stay in the
South was q curse to our peO
I'le and his dead body cannot
shake the estimate formed of
his clIara cter when he sat in
New Orleans as a military
satrap upon the lives and
property Of defenseless men
and women.
Eve have no love for him,
and praise Of any kind, sole
ly because he is at laAt dead,
would be the veriest hypocri-
sy from the Southern people.
There ts nothing in his
VIII ole life to- excite our admi-
ration. When it is sald that
he wac possessed OF great
intelligence and undaunted
energy, all that Is to his cred
it has been said.
He was a trucking dema-
whose selflshness a.
mounted to pollution; he was
an autocrat who used power
to wreak. personal revenge; he
was mean and malignant. a
hanginan from prejudice, the
insulter Of women, A bragga-
d ocio, q trickster and scoun.
drel whose heart was a. black
as the smoke from the Goals
thut are now scorching his
ROui. 5
II there bea future ofpeace
in store for Ben Butler after
his entrance upon eternity
then there is NO heaven and
the Bih.e isa lie. II he'll be on
y az black as the Good i,ook
it, then there are
not the degrees Ct punish
.nent in which some chris
tians 50 fimly believe. He has
gone, and from the sentence
which has already passed up
on him there is nc appeal.
Heis already 90 deep down
IN the pit ofeverlasting doom

that one on the death of Ren
Butler was not foreordained.
1t should be a day Of merry
making. The Beast is dead.
The cymbals should beat and
the tin horn should get in
it's exultant work. Butler
has gone where he can issue
no more orders making the
rape of the Southern women
a gala pastime. He has gone
where there are no more
spoons to be stolen. He has
gone where it is not in his
power to order hanged South
ern gentleman for alleged
treason against Butlerism.
Goodbye, Benl You strut
ted through a few temporal
triulnphs; row rest if you
can in the birthstone glare Of
hell fire. You laughed twenty
five years ago when you bran
ded your offensive personali-
ty upon the memory Of your
superiors; now smile if you
can when powerless and sunk

What Q Southern Soldier Thinks
About 1t.
Cor. Landmark.
The foregoing appeared in
the Nashville American of a
recent date, and for down
right fiendish malignity has
no parallel in the English Ian
guaee. The writer from
whose head and heart such
sentiments emanated, repre-
sents q few FOOLS North and
South who were responsible
for the late war in this coun-
try, aclass ofextremists, who
are still doing all they can to-
keep the best elements of citi
zenship in the two sections
arrayed against each other. |
Such sentiments arc a refec-
ton upon the Christianity
and civilization of tho age,
and how any sane man, un-
less he was at the time drunk,
could have given expression
to such is more than the hu-
man mind can comprehend.
The author, and the newspa-
per in which the article ap-|
peared, should be denounced
by every self-respecting citi-
zen in America. And every !
patron of the Nashville Amer-
ican should at once order his
paper discontinued. The
Southern soldiers will blush |
universally to find that there
is one such fiend in humanI
shape as the author uf the
above in our Southland. MOL
soldier could have so express
ed himself about one dead. III

About three weeks A. o a circular was
issued to grain dealers and elevator
men Of central Kansas urging an
organization to induce legislation In
the interest Of correct weights. What
Is wanted is set of scales at each
station where every car shall be weigh
ed before and after loading and that
railroad companies be held responsible
for the delivery OF the number OF
pounds Of grain shipped. A meeting
was held in Salina yesterday. About
so grain men were present, The Re-
publican says: "They claim that IL the
necessity Of figuring on shortage is
removed the shipper will be enabled to
pay from one half cent to one cent
more per bushel to the farmers for their
grain. The meeting proposes TO pre-
pare bill requiring every railway com.
pany to put in car scales at all the
shipping points and the railway com.
pany will be held responsible for any
shortage that may occur at the destina-
tion. This the grain dealers declare
will bring about needed reform in
