IL will be remembered that In spite OF
the war which the slave-owners waged

not a few anti-slavery men i'll our north

England, who believed that the
republican party was not fulfilling its
pledges. and VINO did not hesitate to de-
nounce what they termed Its weak
subserviency to the slave power. IN
fact, there were in the early days OF
the war leaders In the party who were

way that Hill, German and Others are
held up to-day, as traitors to the party's
cause. But If, to rebuke this delay IN

in Demand
1t Is natural, perhaps, that the repub-
lican press should endeavor to belittle
the democratic victory in the congress-
ional election in McKinley's old dis
trict in Ohio, but the very effort they
make In that behalf shows that they
appreciate the full significance Of the
victory. They may well do SO. There
has been a good deal Of chatter in the
organs of the party about reaction in
public sentiment concerning the Nc
Kinley tariff and a good deal of exulta-
ton over republican victories here and
there, but it is worthy of note that this
election is the first that has been held
since the revolution In 1899, in which
the Mckinley issue was fairly and
squarely raised
The followers Of Mckinley realized
this and made extraordinary efforts to
carry the district which he himself car.
ried In the gubernatorial election by a
majority of nearly six hundred. They
had in their favor the hard times, the
dissatisfaction SC widespread over the
delay in passing the tariff reform meas
ure, the help of the American Protect

year. indifference. But with all these
advantages they were beaten by sub
stantially the same majority which the
democratic candidate had In 1892. Nc

PLANS FOR NEW PLANTS.
Renewal Of Activity in the Tin Plate
Industry.

A Gratifying Result of the New
Tariff Law as Shown in This Branch
of Trade-The Pet Industry of the
Republicans Doomed by Action of q
Democratic Congress.
Pittsburg, Aug. 1.-THE settlement Of
the tariff has given an impetus to the de-
velopment of the black plate and tin
plate industries. Plans that have been
held in obeyance for months, are now be-
ing put into effect and considerable eager
ness is displayed to invest money in this
direction.
B. Goldsmith, a tinplate importer of
New York and Portland, Ore, is in Pitts
burg and proposes to invest $500, 900 in
the business in this vicinity. The plans
for MIR. Goldsmith's plant call for four
mills, with capacity of twenty tons per
day Northen Bros, tinplate manufac-
turers of Chicago, are said to be nego-
tlatlng for the purchase of divers Fif-
teenLh street mills, the intention being to
convert the plant into a black plate and
tinplate works.
1t is also reported that the firm of Nc
Intosh, HemphIll q Co contemplate en-
tering into the manufacture of tin plates
Inquiries have been made atIseveral
foundries and machine shops for esti-
mates of cost for equipment of plants for

NoCioe to Be Given That It Has Had
Enough of the Tariff.
Washington, Aug 1.-THE sundry civil
appropriation bill was sent to Gray Ga
bles to day for the signature of the Presi-
dent. 1t was signed by the Vice President
and Speaker Crisp this morning. It is
necessary that il 1hall receive the ap-
proval of the President by next Monday
morning, as the Joint resolution Of con
gress extending the current appropria-
tions will terminate then and all work
depending upon this bill would then have
TO cease. 1t is expected that the Presi-
dent will sign the bill tomorrow. and
that the messenger will return with it by
Monday morning.
The general deficiency appropriation
bill, which passed the Senate to-day, was
the last of the appropriation bills to re-
ceive final action by congress.
The river and harbor bill Is practically
law, inasmuch as IL cannot now be re-
turned to the House in which it origi-
mated with a veto within the requisite ten
days, which expires tomorrow, as the
House Of Representatives has adjourned
until Monday.
Senator Murphy of New York offered a
resolution in the Senate to-day providing
that there shall be no more tariff legisla-
tlon at this session.
The republicans in conference this
afternoon decided to indorse MIR. Muir
phys resolution If he modified it. This
Mr.. Murphy has agreed 10 do, and the
probability is that a vote will be taken
tomorrow on the resolution declaring it
impracticable TO have any more tariff
legislation at this session of congress.
This will be carried by good ma .ority,
and, as Mr.. Brice puts it, will be notice
TO the whole world, including the House
of Representatives, that the Senate is
ready to 60 home, and will do no more

SOLD TO PAY STORAGE.
Relics of Reconstruction Belonging to
Big Boss Bryant,


Atlanta Ga, Aug. IA rather pecu-

gro politicians to the court house to-day
1t was the sale Of the Office furnishing and
library of John E. Bryant, the big repub-
lican boss, who sat on the throne with
Col. A. e. Buck in Georgia up to some
ten years ago Bryant was United States
marshal under Grant, and for some years
after that a big factor in the politics
of the colored brother, of whom
he was evidently very fond, judging
by the kind of literature that helped to
compose his library. In the lot which
was stored here ten years ago, when Col.
Bryant took up his carpet bag and left
for other pastures, and now sold TO pay
the storage charges, were some very in
teresting records of the reconstruction
period. Conspicuous were lot of bonds
of the Republican joint stock com
pany," which had capital of $50, 900. w.

clan, bought the whole collection of relics
OF the carpetbaggers for S25.
