and Logan were wounded on the same
battlefield, aud in the hospital their
cots stood side by side. Like Logan,
be had left Congress to go to the front,
and IL was not until ten years had passed
that he came back TO sit in the House
of Representatives.
The same cOngress-the Forty-third
ALSO brought Roger @ Mills, OF Tex
as, into public notice. Four years al
terward, in 1877, Carlisle appeared as
the representative Of the Kentucky dis
trict which lies just across the river
from Cincinnati. In the list of com
mittees of the next congress after Car

ind these three names together, under
the title Committee on Ways and
Means" William K. Morrison, OF Illi-
nois; r. @. Mills, of Texas, and John
&. Carlisle, of Kentucky.
Then and there was formed that
warm friendship which has had such an
important bearing upon the history Of
politics aud legislation In America.
Randall was speaker then and apparent
ly the invincibe leader Of the Demo-
cratic party In the commons. But the
alliance of three forceiul, ambitious men
had not then begun to show It's power.

When the ways and means committees
OF that house was announced William

man, and next TO him was that OF Roger
o. Mills. Tneu came the effort to pass
n so.called tariff reform bill prepared
chiefly by Morrison, Mills and Carlisle,
out known as the Morrison bill. IL was
defeated. But in the Fiitieth Congress,
when Morrison had been defeated for
reelection by Jehu Baker, the effort
was renewed by Mills, VINO had become
chairman OF the committee on ways and
means. HIS bill passed the house, but
failed to become law owing to the fact
that the Senate was Republican. 1t was,
however, the chief issue between the
parties ia the Presidential campaign OF
1855.

We Must Redeasaa-pur Pledges.

Atlanta Constitution.
The Augusta Chronicle hits the
nail squarely Oh the head when it
says that the continuance of the
democrats in power beyond the
present administration depends
upon their honest compliance
with the party's pledges.
AS our contemporary puts it,
the democratic party triumphed
in the recent election because of
it's pledges to the people. 1t is
now in the control of the gov
srment. If its promises are not
made good the people will hold
the party responsible, and the
party will hold the administration
to q strict account. The national
contest was won on the financial
and tariff planks of our platform,
and a democratic congress is in
duty beund to pass such laws as
will enable the president to put
these reforms into practical opera
ton.
Norhing could be truer than
these timely words of admonition.
They come from an old and in
fuential democratic newspaper
which did more thau any other
agency to say the tenth district
from being captured by the third
party.
The Chronicles views are
exactly in line with The Constitu-
tons repeated utterances. The
administration must fully redeem
the promises of our platform, and
carry out the financial and tariff
reforms TO which it.stands pledged.
1t must do this or stand before
the democratic party and the peo-
pie il the position of man who
has violated his solemn promise
to his neighbors. Broken pledges
discredit nu individual, and it is
the same way with an administra-
ton.
This is the situation. 1t is all
nonsense to talk about The speedy
dissolution 9 of the republican
party. That party will lose or
gain strength in proportion to our
fidelity or lack of fidelity to our
platform. A trimming, hedging
policy ON the part of the new adj
rinistration in financial aud
tariff matters would rehabilitate
the republicans or build up the
third party.
