a sUsPICIOUS sCHEME.

A number of American and Canadian
capitalists have organized company to
build an immense canal from the great
lakes 10 the Hudson river, thus to afford
a corporate deep waterway from Mont
real to New York city. a bill has just
been presented in the Dominion parlia
ment to incorporate the company in that
country, and bill is in the New York
legislature to incorporate it on this side.
The territory through which the canal
will run on this side the national line is
all in New York, hence no charter need
be asked Of the United States.
This looks like deep-laid plan to
head off the movement of tho American
lake shipping interests for govern
ment canal connecting the lakes with
the Hudson river, and thus with the
seabOard. The scheme would simply
compel the ship companies to pay such
tolls as the company saw fit to impose.
That the lake boats should have free
access to the seaboard through Ameri-
can territory is not matter which con-
Germs the Northwest alone, but of grave
Importance to the nation at large. With
a free waterway these boats would con-
vey to the seaboard, and many of them
to Europe, One-third of the corn, small
grain and flour of the United States. at
rates which would be a wholesome
check upon the grasp of railway cor
poratiOns. 1t would afford European
market for all this and the product of
the industries of the West and Middle
states of vast Importance, and which
could be built up in no other way. A
toll system means simply blockade to
such traffic.
The Dominion owns all its canals,
and they are free waterways to all Can
adian ship owners, and will ever be
maintained as such. With toll system
on our side the Canadian ships would
shut out our ships from the business Of
both countries. Then our American
railways could safely continue their in
iQuItOus pooling system, and hold the
farmers and manufacturers of the
country in their gras p.
A powerful movement to checkmate
this undertaking should be set on foot
at once. Chicago and Duluth are not
alone interested. 1t concerns ali the
cities and country between the Rocky
mountains and Pennsylvania, and the
Canadian line and the Ohio river, if not
still further SOuth

REPUBLICAN RESISTANCE

The Republican senators threaten to
resist the reorganization of the United
States senate by the Democrats, and
there are many reasons for the belle,
that they will do 50. the leaders of
that party have declared with great
gusto that the Democratic party would
not dare carry out it's policy of tariff re-
form. They assert with apparent great
confidence that such course would be
disastrous to the country and result in
the overthrow of the Democracy. There
is nothing in the world that would give
them greater pleasure than a return to
power, and if they are go confident that
the tariff reform policy would result
disastrously, and that the Democratic
party does not dare pursue it, why do
they not give the dominant party full
swing and let it hang itself? For a
failure to put in force tariff reform
would be just as fatal to the party as
putting it in force to the detriment of
the country.
The fact is that the assertion of these
Republicans is not honest. They know
full well that the Democratic party Will
carry out its pledges to the people, and

If CHARLEY HoYT can not find In his

farce which viii hold the boards better

bOuffe features which might be utilized.
The effort of the legislature to maintain
its dignity on the one hand, the mock

of repulSiOn for lobbyists assumed by
the house, furnish ample material for a

FIRED THE TOWN.
Nearly Every Building in Puryis,
Miss, Wiped Out by
Flames.
Negroes Apply the Torch to
Avenge the Arrest of a Col
ored Preacher.

MERIDIAN, Miss, March 22.-The
town of Purvls, Miss, Oh the New Or
leans & Northeastern railroad, 100 miles
south of Meridian, was DESTROYED by In
cendiaries last night. Shortly after
midnight the torch Was applied to five
buildings in different portions of the
town, and within two hours time almost
every store and residence in the place
wiped out. The people ran panic
stricken into the streets and the great
est excitement prevailed. The West
ern Union telegraph Office was burned,
and particulars are meagre, but from
the passengers who passed Purvis on a
north-bOund train this afternoon it was
learned that the conflagratlon is the re-
suit of a bitter feeling between tho
white people and the negroes, growing
out of the arrest of negro preacher.
The negroes fired the town i'll revenge.
A posse of citizens left Meridian for

that tariff reform will be one of the
greatest blessings TO the masses that has
fallen to them in many years. 1t is TO
prevent the execution OF this policy that
the desperate effort will be made to
maintain Republican control of the sem
ate. The loss of the senate will be
death to the Republican party, or, at
least, prevent its return to power for
many years, and they know IL.
But there is more than politics back
of the matter. Complete Democratic
control of the country means the loss OF
much ill-gotten gain to corporations.
And these are great share of the in
SEPARATION of the proposed movement OF
the Republican senators. The m0narchs
who are fattening at the expense of the
masses through the MCKINLEY bill can-
not be expected to let go without a
struggle, and the best one in their
power to make.
The United States senate is fairly
Democratic. and it will be organized by
the Democrats in spite of these Repub-
lican senators.

JEFFERsoA's BIRTHDAY.
Democratic Clubs to Fittingly
Celebrate 1t.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-The Ma
tional Association of Democratic clubs
has issued notice recommending a
Simultaneous celebration on the 18th of
April next of the birthday OF Thomas
Jefferson. The address says III part:
1.-The time is peculiarly appropriate
for general renewal of our devotion to
the principles of Jefferson. For the
first time since the civil war the Demo-
cratic party is about to return to power
in all political branches of the general
government. We have prOreSsed the
purity. simplicity and frugality of JEFF
ferson and his Democratic associates.
Let us, the Democratic people. see as
best we may, that these professions are
redeemed by our public servants. The
Republican party, by its eXeesses, in
vited the most sweeping condemnation
ever visited upon any party i'll America.
1t has been displaced and the Demo
cratic party restored because the people
at large desire the pure, just and consti-
tutonal government which Jefferson
and his disciples gave them and Which
we have promised them"

of sufficiently grave Importance TO have
it referred, with Mr.. Cullom's resigna-

culties in the case, Mr.Cullom Withdrew
his request, and Mr.. Hoar's motion fell
