Secretary Carlisle felt called upon
last week to publicly deny that the Jul
dietary committee of the house has re-
ported resolution denying his au-
thority to issue and sell bonds. He
says that the committee recognizes his
authority to issue bonds, the only
question of difference being whether
he could use the proceeds for any other
purpose than the redemption of Uni
ted States notes, and that Mr.. Bailey
the author of the resolution, distinctly
admitted the existence of his authorl-
ty to issue bonds, declaring that the
resolution of the committee does not
impeach his right to issue bonds but
questions his right to apply the pro-
ceeds to any other purpose except
those specified in the act.

THE WILSON TARIFF BILL PASSES.

Last Thursday was a great day for
the Democratic tariff reformers. The
Wilson tariff bill was put upon its
final passage, and passed the House by
a vote of 204 to no. clear majority
of 6I. Before the final vote was taken
the internal revenue bill, including an
income tax on incomes of $4,000 and
upward, and s1.OO per gallon on whis-
ky, was tackled on to the tariff bill as an
amendment. The vote on the adop-
ton of the amendment stood 49, for
to 20 against, few Republicans voting
one way or the other.
As passed, the bill makes all sugar
free and wipes out the bounty. Wool,
coal. iron ore, lumber and other raw
materials are placed on the free list.
The following named IL Democrats
voted against the bill on its final pass
age: Sickles, Bartlett, Schermerhorn,
Hendrix, Haines, Cummings, Camp
bell and Covert, of New York; Cadmus,
of New Jersey; Davey, Meyer, Price
and Robertson, of louisiana; Geary,
of California; Sibley, of Pennsylvania;
Page. of Rhode Island, and Sperry, of
Connecticut.
1t is freely predicted that the bill
cannot pass the Senate in its present
form.

Michael Flaherty was IN court as
a witness, and with each succeeding
question put to him his never bril-
liant mental powers became more
and more confused. At last he was
asked to tell about the situation OF
certain flight of stairs.
'HoW do those stairs run?' asked
the examining COUNSEL whose pa
thence was well-nigh exhausted by
his efforts to elicit information from
Michael.
''Phwat is it ye're askin' me now?'

A TIMELY CRITICISM.

! HATTIESBURG, Miss, Jan. Both. 1871.
Editor Mississippi Leader:
Your timely and just criticism of
Bishop Galloway's attitude on the IL
quor question marks new era in the
usefulness of THE LEADER.
In the earliest days of the history of
our State the liquor traffic existed by
virtue of State license, and by virtue
of the same authority it still exists.
The Democratic party has yielded, to
some extent, to the demands of the
Prohibition party that the traffic be
abolished. 1t has yielded only to keep
the question out of politics and there
by retain the license system, and pre-
serve the Democratic party. 1t has
never legislated In the direction of Pro
hibition out of enmity to the liquor
traffic. or else it would have eXterml-
mated the business. The liquor men
are nearly all Democrats in this State,
for the Democratic party has been
their savior. What temperance legls-
lation Prohibitionists have wrung from
the Democrats has been grudgingly
and unwillingiy bestowed out of defer
ence to public opinion that the Dem
ocrats feared would crystalize into II
strong political party. Let us ask the
Democrats for no more favors; but let
them take their course, let public SEN
timent crystalize into political action,
and let those who will stand 10y their
whisky party and plead with it till they
tire of that and come to us. Let us as
sert our true manhood by selecting our
own men to make and execute law. A
mendicant never wore crown. Fro
| hibitionists who look to the Demo
cratic party to abolish the alcoholic IL
ouor traffic. lose sight of the national
| character of the saloon power. or do
not realize the absolute subseryiency OF
the Democratic party to the rum and
Stun elements. or else they love that
party more than they hate the saloon
Let those who are joined to Democra
cy and rum, fight their own temper.
ance battles in their own way; but let
those of us who are welded to neither
have no part or parcel in their scheme.
Let us fight our own battles, in our
own way, in our own party, and expose
the inconsistency of those who, like
the Bishop, illustrate the Redeemer's
parable of divided house.

The Democratic National ponven-
ton of 1892. among other things, gave
utterance to this sentiment: "We de
nounce a policy which fosters no in
dustry so much as it does that of the
sheriff" OF course, the Democratic
Convention had no allusiOn to the Ii
censed liquor traffic. No sane man
would expect Democratic platform
to denounce whisky. But how beauti-
fully the denunciation fits that subject.

general use, hcnceit still goes by the
name of Gala. The spotted one,
common in cultivation during the
last few years as the Richardia albo-
maculata, was also introduced from
southern Africa in 1859 This is
we'll known by its spotted leaves.
Another one was brought from the
same country in 1887, under the
name of Richardia hastata = the
spathc being OF a yelloWish color,
but very small, and is not yet much
