They Want the Bounty.

The Louisiana senators insist upon the
payment of the sugar bounty this year, even
though the tariff bill becomes a law, and
goes into effect before this years sugar
crop is ready for market. In fact, they
demand it, and threaten to vote against
the bill unless their demand is granted
They are supported in the position they
have taken by the newspapers of their
state, and the sugar planters.
The bill could be passed without their
votes if all the other democratic senators
should vote for it. There is some doubt.
however, as to what one or two of
the other democratic senator's will do
when the bill comes to a vote
Besides, it is understood that the popu-
list senators, Kyle and Allen, want the
bounty paid for the benefit of sorghum
sugar makers of their respective states,
and have united with the Louisiana SEN
ators in demanding it.
AS yet there is no sign that their de-
mand will be granted Indeed, it is
pretty safe to say it will not be granted
Neither the House nor the Senate favors
granting it. If it should not be granted
would the Louisiana senators vote against
the bill? That is question that cannot
be answered. The chances are they
would not They would hardly dare to
take the responsibility of defeating the
tariff bill

The South Carolina Campaign.

! The News and Courier, speaking Of the
/ Tillman-Butler campaign in South Caro-
I lima, which closed at Abbeville on
/ Wednesday, says: 1T is the last of Its
/ kind, let US hope, that will ever be known
! in South Carolina" We are satisfied
| that all who are interested in the welfare
Of South Carolina Join the News and
! Courier in the foregoing expression Of
hope. The campaign was a deuoralizing
one II was full of personalities and pas
sion. The speakers tried to Guido each
other in the use of harsh terms and
epithets, expressive Of contempt for their
opponents. The News and Courier says;
After nearly two months of stump
oratory we cannot recall the eX-
preston of a single sentiment by
any of the speakers which has contrib
uted in the least degree TO the elevation
or instruction of the people What a
sweeping condemnation Of the men who
seek to be the lawmakers and the ad
illustrators and executors Of the laws,
And yet who will say that the comment
of the News and Courier is not d Just one
And what did the candidates accom-
plish by the campaign Is any one of
them stronger with the people 1t is
doubtful. The situation is just about as
it was before the campaign began. Till
man is as much in the lead as he ever
was, and his following is Just as
blind in its devotion to him as it was
when it elected him governor the second
time
The truth is that the factions in South
Carolina cannot be reasoned with The
Tillmanites, particularly, will notlisten to
argument. They have made up their minds
to follow Tillman, whether he is right or
wrong. Indeed, they do not ask whether
or not he is leading them in the right di-
rection. All they care,for now, appar-
emily, is the defeat of the opposing. fac
ton
There will come time, of course, when
they will do a little more thinking. After
awhile they will begin to ask what Till
mans leadership has done for them
whether he has not used them to advance
his political ambition and given them
nothing in return. When that time comes
they will push Tillman from the pedestal
upon which they have placed him, and
they will do 1t with the same kind of con-
tempt for him that they now pretend to
have for those who oppose him. Tillman
is not the kind of man to lead long. When
his day is over there will be better days
for South Carolina

A Protector of Trusts.

Day after day, for many weeks, the
republican papers, led by the New York
Press, have shrieked, Kill the tariff
bill; defeat the iniquitous measure that
has wrecked the industry Of the whole
nation, and beggared innumerable homes, ("
and a lot more rot of the same sort. The
language of the New York Press, in par
ticular, has been lurid. The writer
of its tariff articles creates the i'm
preston that he keeps on his desk bottle
Of fTe-water from which he draws inspir
alton frequently.
OF course the Press and all the other
republican papers want the tariff bill
killed And all the republicans in con
gress are doing their utmost to kill it.
And why do they want it killed. The
reason is apparent. They want
to save the trusts and monopo-
lies that have grown enormously
rich and are robbing the people of mill
ions of dollars annually under the Nc
Kinley tariff. Take, for instance, the
sugar trust. To what extent is it pro-
tected? Is it not given by the Mckinley
tariff a half cent a pound on every pound
Of sugar it refines, II is reliably stated
that that trust draws from the people
profit of S350O0,0 600 year. If the pend
ing tariff bill is killed it will continue to
draw that amount. 1t is clear. therefore,
why the republicans are united in de
handing that the tariff bill shall be
killed.
If the democratic measure should be-
come a law the sugar trust would get
only one-tifth of cent protection-not
half as much as it now gets.
The sugar trust is only enc of the many
trusts at which the pending tariff bill is
aimed. There are many of them, and it
hurts the Republican party to see them
threatened with a partial loss of their
outrageous exactions from the people.
If the New York Press knew how idi-
otto its reckless rawlings appear to the
people who know its motives it would
hardly have the courage to continue its
utterances. II doubtless thinks it is de-
ceiving the people. 1t is mistaken.

What viii His Explanation BeP

What sort of an explanation will Pre- 81,
dent Reinhart Of the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe railroad offer to the charge
made by Expert Stephen Little, that
within the last two or three years the
earnings of the road have been overstated
more than $4,000 O02 That is what the
committee that is engaged in the work of
reorganizing the property wants to know,
and what every one who is anyway inter-
ested in the property is specializing
about. President Reinhart must have
some sort of an explanation that will tend
to relieve him of Intentionally deceiv-
ing the stockholders and bondholders of
the property. The accounts of the road
have passed directly under his notice,
and he could hardly help knowing just
what the road was earning.
But if he knew the earnings were largely
overstated, why did he permit the reor-
ganization committee to perfect scheme
of reorganization upon a false basis? He
must have known, of course, that the
road, reorganized upon such a basis,
would soon be in financial trouble again.
Clearly President Reinhart must have
something to say that will place him in
much more favorable light than that in
which he now appears. He is a man of
exceedingly fine ability, and his reputa-
ton for straightforward dealing has al
ways been the best. 1t is therefore ex-
pected that he will make an explanation
that will show that Expert Little has not
got at the facts in his exam nation of the
books.
Mr.. Little's report, however, has had
dampening effect upon the confidence of
the public in the roads securities. The
prices of the bonds and stocks have
steadily fallen for several days. If Presi-
dent Remnants explanation is an admis-
sion that the earnings of the road have
been greatly overstated there will be a
still further decline in the prices of the
securities.
