A Southern Republican Fight.

Republicans in the south fight as
earnestly as Democrats, it seems, when
;heir political aspirations are likely to
be thwarted. Republican heads were
cracked in Gatlinburg, Tenn, recent.
ly. The fight took place in Baptist
churc between the friends of Repre-
sentative Houck and those of Henry
Gibson, his rival Republican candidate
for Congress. While Houck was edu-
eating his audience in the church
Gibson's friends interrupted with hiss
es and howls. Here the deputy sheriff
entered and the fight began. Stones
and pistols were the weapons offensive
and defensive. After the smoke OF
the battle reached the ceiling of the
SCARED edifice it was discoverek that
the leader of the Gibson men had his
skull crushed, and Houck man also
had his bump of veneration interfered
with.

Sugar.

About the only industry now clos
ing in this country, or running on
short time, is the sugar refining in
dustry of Louisiana. Report from
that section is that Spreckels' Sugar
Refinery has shut down for an indef-
mite period Notwithstanding that the
crop of cane is unusually large. 1t is
the curtailment of the sweet sugar
bounties and rebates that is twisting
this very thrifty industry somewhat
out of shape and making the faces of
very few rich manufacturers and
planters look rather more sour than
they used to look. We take it for
granted that both Havemeyer and
Spreckels and the Louisiana planters
are rich enough to stand the shave
much better than the poor consumers
Of sugar of the whole country can
stand the bounty heretofore given the
gentlemen engaged in this sweet in
dustry. In this connection a well-to-
do Louisiana sugar man was recently
heard to remark:
"There is determined feeling
among the planters against the pres
ent administration on account of the
new sugar schedule in the tariff bill
and the delay in paying the former
bounty, of which at least one-tenth of
the whole or 81, 900, 900 is still due.
ga syndicate of planters has EN-
ployed Louis Sorer, an ex-Govern-
ment official, to weigh and inspect
the forthcoming output Of refined SUI
gar, on which the bounty would
amount to upward of SII, 900, 900. A
sworn report of this is to be filed at
Washington, d. c., and a fund is
being raised to bring suit against the
Government for the recovery of the
amount of bounty claimed to be due
upon this report. The former bounty
on No. I grade, 90 test, was cents
per pound, and from IS to 90 test,
Il cents per bound. The planters
are in earnest about this matter, and
the ablest counsel in the country will
be employed to push their demands. y
Report from Washington dated Octo-
Der Ist, is to the effect that Have
meyer and others have been formally
indicted and held for contumacy be-
fore the investigating committee for
refusing to answer questions put to
them when under Senatorial exami-
nation. The cases will come up fol-
argument on October IL. Inasmuch
as the indictments against Have
meyer and Searles cover some twenty
eight typewriter pages, considerable
history of the sugar industry can no
doubt be gathered from these pages
by the earnest student of politicaI
economy. The questions were perhaps
deemed impertinent by the sugar
men for the reason that they tried tc
divulge which political party received
the heaviest contributions from them
This was of course very impertinent.

Our Candidate for Congress.

During the sitting of the conference
OF this District, the whole State was
watching for the result, and when it
was reached it was hailed with the
greatest satisfaction by the Democratic
press. The candidacy of Mr.. Buck
alew has promise of competent
representative in Congress-one who
would honor the district and the State
and in whom his party could confde
for sound votes and enlightened legis,
latlon on public questions. On the
occasion of the nomination the Phila-
delphia Record said:
The Democratic Congressional con-
ference in the Seventeenth district
Northumberland, Montour, Columbia
and Sullivan counties) has brought it's
labors to satisfactory conclusion by
the nomination of ex-senator Charles
R. Buckalew. There are few men in
the State who from experience or
natural attainments are able to render
better service to the country than Mr..
Buckalew. He is as wise as he is able
and honest"
The Seventeenth district is now
represented by one of the most capable
and efficient members of the State
delegation in Congress-Hon. S. P.
Wolverton. The district is so strong
ly Democratic that a nomination is
equivalent to an election. For this
reason it is matter of pride that the
primary choice of the party should
have been SO admirable. 1t is an ex.
ample which all parties might initiate
with advantage to the general welfare.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1894-10-05

The political party whose lines of
policy will insure the greatest good to
the greatest number is evidently the
most deserving of the sovereigns vote
and support. Tie party promising
the more equitable laws covering the
commercial relations between the
lofty is evidently the most deserving.
AS between caring for the classes and
caring for the masses, both parties are
just now in love with them asses.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1894-10-05

To the voter we would say endeavor
to weed out the positively bad where
ever you find them, whenever their
private or public character rises up to
rebuke them. If you demand good
men primaries will be more careful to
give them to you in order to win at
the polls. The equitably disposed in
the matter Of Government favors are
the only ones worthy of your vote. In
the open warfare between the two par
ties as at present aligned against each
other, the question arises, and you
must determine it, shall We longer pro-
tect particular representatives of par
ticular rich and powerful industries, or
shall we give the masses the benefit of
the competition that will result ma
turally from little or no protection to
the hitherto highly favored classes.
! need not tell you which party now
favors protecting the masses, for the
alignment has long since been drawn
to the advantage of Democracy.

The Northumberland County DEM
ocrdt OF last week in publishing Mr..
Buckalew's Sunbury speech, says:
Read the able and exhaustive
speech OF Hon. c. R. Buckalew, de-
llvered in the Court House Tuesday
evening. He spoke without notes
and in an impromtue manner, which
was very pleasing and entertaining to
his large audience. We had report
er on hand who took down the speech
IN short hand. The Democrat is
right In 1t this campaign as it always
has been. Every person who desires
enlightenment, especially on the in
EQUITIES of the Mckinley tariff law
should read the speech
The same paper in reporting the
Watsontown meeting Sept. 70, says:
Mr. Buckalew, in a speech of over
an hour, touched on all the leading
issues OF the day. His speech was
attentively lisened to and literally ap.
plauded.
One noticeable thing was that the
audience kept increasing during the
meeting and at the adjournment there
were many more persons present than
when the meeting commenced. This
proves that the people are taking an
interest In the approaching campaign
and are studying the arguments pre-
sented to them by the speakers"

For CORONER,

The better TO judge what consti-
tutes his patriotic duty let the voter
read the argument advanced by both
parties, and after carefully combing
out the political sophistry that has
heretofore been known to work in
through the warmth of political ex-
citement, just exercise his great
privilege and duty Of voting as he
Pleases. That's the best plan where a
mans first love is good, pure and
equitable government as between the
rich and poor and the high and the
low.
