Breckinridge on the stump.

The canvass that was begun yesterday
at Lexington, KY, by Col. w c. p.
Breckenridge for a denomination for con
gress from the Ashland district promises
to be highly sensational and holly
contested one. The issue is not political
one. 1t is one of morals. The question
which the democrats of the district are
considering is whether Col. Breckenridge
is fit man morally, in view of his testi-
mony in the case in which he is a de-
PENDANT, to be honored by an election to
high and responsible office.
The people are greatly divided. In
every social grade he has friends and op-
ponents, but the impression gained from
the newspaper reports is that the great
majority of church-going people, par
ticularly the women, are against him
The women are taking a very active part
in the contest. In some of the towns of
his district they have formed organiza-
tions and are sending out circulars point
ing out the grave delinquencies in Col.
| Breckinridges past life. That they will
have an immense influence in the contest
there is no doubt. The men, in many in
stances, will be guided by them
The thing for which Col. Breckenridge
is condemned chiefly is the hypocracy to
which he confessed on the witness stand.
He admitted that, though he was leading
life of immortality and deception, he per-
mitted himself to be recognized as a con-
| sistent and highly respected member of
the Presbyterian church, and posed as
an exemplary Christian fitted in every
way to be the guide and instructor of
youth of both sexes at college commence
ments.
Col. Breckenridge is a man of wonder
full powers of persuasion. There are
few men in the country so eloquent in
speech as he. 1t is possible, therefore.
that he may persuade his district to re-
nominate and re-elect him. The chances
are, however, that he will fail in his
undertaking. The hostility to him is too
| great to be overcome. The people feel
that to give him a denomination and a
reelection would be to indorse his CON
duct. Although they may regret the ne
cessity for assisting in putting an end to
his brilliant career, they will hardly con-
sent to confer further honor upon him.

Somebody Made Big Money.

The insinuation is thrown out that
there are senators who have made a great
deal of money specializing in sugar GER
tiicates. We do not know whether
there is foundation for this insinuation or
not 1t is to be hoped there is not. There
is one thing certain, however, sugar has
advanced s33 a share since Feb. 1, the
date on which the Wilson bill passed the
House.
The action OF the House, putting both
raw and refined sugar on the free list,
knocked the bottom out of the price of
sugar certificates, and came near causing
a panic in the stock market. When the
finance committee took hold of the Viii
son bill the price of sugar began TO rise.
1t seemed TO be understood that sugar
would be restored to the dutiable list,
and it was known, Of course, that if it
was. the price of sugar certificates would
advance.
Sugar was put on the dutiable list, and
owing to the hard fight made by the
sugar refners and sugar planters, the
duty was increased more than once, and,
hence, the price of sugar certificates ad-
vanced.
The House was to blame in the first
place for the opportunity TO speculate in
sugar. 1t put sugar on the free
list and repealed the bounty, al
though it was quite certain that
sugar would not be permitted to re-
main on the free list. Members of the
finance committee are TO blame for let
ting their purpose TO put sugar on the
dutiable list be known. This informa-
ton somehow or the other always reached
Wall Street before the committee acted.
1t Is mystery how the information
got out, unless some senator of the com
mittee used it for speculative purposes,
or voluntarily gave it out to friends.
1t is worthy of notice that the same
thing happened when the sugar schedule
of the Mckinley bill was under consider
tion. Information of the purpose of the
committee mysteriously reached a favored
few and fortunes were made by some
body. The same kind of charges were
made against senators then that are being
made now. Still it cannot be stated posi-
lively that senators use their positions
for speculative purposes.

A group Of gentlemen, mostly from Dixie,
were discussing certain phases OF the insti-
tuition Of slavery as it existed in their region.

ooercing the Louisiana Senators.

The Louisiana sugar planters are dis
satisfied with the sugar schedule of the
Wilson bill-at least that part of it which
deals with raw sugar At a conference
of planters held in New Orleans Thurs
day night, it was decided to have a con
vention of the sugar planters on May H.
If the sentiments expressed at the CON
ference prevail at the convention the
Louisiana senator's will be instructed to
combine with Senator Hill and one or
two other senators who are believed to be
hostile to the bill, and demand duty of
2cents pound on raw sugar, and, fail
ing to get that demand granted, TO com
bine with the republicans and defeat the
Wilson bill If the Louisiana senators
refuse to obey this instruction
the sugar interest of the state will sup
port two men for senators at the next
session of the legislature who will pledge
themselves to carry out the wishes of the
sugar planters in the matter of a sugar
duty.
This action Of the sugar planters places
the Louisiana senators in a very uncom-
Portable position. They have done all
that it has been possible to do for the
sugar planters, and have succeeded in
getting much better terms for raw sugar
than it was thought could be got when
the consideration of the sugar schedule
began in the Senate. The Wilson bill
went to the Senate with sugar on the free
list and the bounty system repealed, The
Louisiana senator's succeeded in having it
placed on the dutiable list, and very
fair duty imposed upon it. The duty,
however. is not high enough to satisfy
the sugar planters. They declare they
cannot cultivate their plantations at a
profit unless they have duty of at least
2 cents a pound.
They will not get what they want That
is certain. And the temper of congress is
such that if an attempt should be made
to defeat the Wilson bill in the interest
of the sugar planters, there would be
grave danger of sugar being placed on the
free list with the bounty system repealed.
That would mean absolute ruin to the
sugar planters, and they are taking
very great risk in the course they are
pursuing. Public sentiment is emphati-
cally against anything calculated to de-
lay the Wilson bill, and it would sustain
! congress in treating the sugar interest as
the House treated il, rather than have
the business depression prolonged by a
contest for higher duty on sugar.

International Free Coinage.

There seems to be q vast consensus of
opinion in favor of restoring its money func-
tons TO silver on some sure and accepted
basis. The Post has always urged that the
free coinage OF silver, under present circum-
stances would end in reducing our financial
condition to level with that of Mexico or
the South American states. Free coinage
under an International agreement would be
quite different thing. and might prove the
avenue to far extending prosperity. This
would seem the right time for calling to-
gethera new international conference. and

The prospects are that Savannah will
enjoy cool and breezy summer, provided
the several rate wars between the street
railway, ice and beer corporations ma
teralize and continue. With railway fares
at cents, ice at 80 cents per hundred and
beer at 81 keg, the ordinary man could
bid defiance to the athletic mercury and
make summer a season of delight.
