LATEST FROM WASHINGTON.

Senator Mills. of Texas, will close the
debate on the tariff bill next Tuesday.
This is considered high compliment to
him from the fact that he is not II mem
ber of the finance committee.
Senator Mills, like many others, is not
satisfied with the bill, but he recognizes
the fact that it is the best that could be
done ut this time and is nothing more
than a compromise.
After the general debate has been
closed the bill will be taken up by sec
tions and each section debated, with no
limit us to the time allotted any member.
1t will thus be seen that the opposition
to the bill can prolong it indefinitely if
they are so disposed
What tactics the Republicans will pu-
sue remains to be seen. They recognize
the impatienee Of the financial world at
the long delay and the interruption 0i
business and will perhaps permit the bill
| to pass. The following viii beOfinterest

CONFEDERATE REUNION,

A grand reunion of Confederate Voter
ans will take place at birmingham, Ala,
on the 25th inst. to continue two days.
1t is earnestly requested that every
organization of the Veterans be repre-
seuted at this reunion, and that eX-c0n-
federute soldiers and sailors generally
form into local organizations, and to
this end send to headquarters, towit:
to Adiutant General Geo. MOurman, New
Orleans, La. for papers to organize III
time for the grand reunion. and thus
unite with their cOmrads in carrying out
the laudiblc and philanthropic objects OF
the organization. The total number Of
camps admitted number 47O, Of which,
Louisiana is credited with al.
We urge upon the cN-COntedcrate of
Louisiana to organize in the interest of
this glorious cause Following We give
an extract from letter from Ait. Gen.
MoOrman, chief of staff, which more fully
explains the aims and objects of0the
organization:
Business of the greatest Importance will

Fourth Annual COnventiun-smch as The

rv. and to enlist each state in the cOmWl-

RECAECITRANT DEMOCRATS.

The financial condition OF this country
is far from being satisfactory. This Is
shown in many ways but in no way more
clearly than by a comparison of the bank
clearings rs published each week in the
metropolitan papers, being complied by
the mercantile agencies. From all OF the
trade eenters comes the same story,
decrease, when compared with correspond
ing period of the previous year.
There is probably more than one cause
for this universal stagnatiOn and life
lessness in commercial circles, but the
most potent factor at present is uncer-
tainty in regard to tariff legislation now
under consideration. Merchants pur-
chase only sueh supplies as will meet
the immediate demand, and their shelves
are frequently empty of such things as
could be sold from the fact that they
would rather miss sales than bny goods
liable to be affected by change in the
tariff schedule.
Factories dare not resume until there
is some certainty as to the cut in tariff
duties OH their products.
1t is not the extent of the change that
is to be made, but the uncertainty which
paralyzes business and we can hope for
no revival until this vexed question is
settled.
Had Mr.. Cleveland called a special
session of congress Immediately after his
Inauguration, and had congress gone
speedily aud energetically to work in the
matter of redeeming the pledges made
TO the people in the democratic platforms
of the past few years, all would have
been we'll
"He who Jlallies is a bastard;
Who doubts is damned"
Long before this the vexed question
would have been settled and the country
would have been on the high road to pros
perity.
After congress assembled last August
what did the country sect Nothing but
disgracefnl squabbIing in the house and
inactiOn Oh the part of the senate. II
was found that democratic majority in
both branches could not be relied upon
to make good its promises to the people,
its obligations to the country and to the
constitution. How long is this thing tC
continue? How much longer are the
honest masses of the democratic party
who have labored for 10 these many
years for the cOnsumatiOu of that grand
result viz, democratic supremacy, tt
be Inundated by few Tecalcitrant
members, bent only upon personal inter
ests, who block legislation by an alliance
with the republican minority Scarcely
less culpable are those other democrat
who pcrsistently absent themselves 81
that it is possible for the minOrity to breal
quorum at almost any time
The righteous Indignation of the peOpl
oyerthis state of affairs has been show
at every election held for the past year
We believe that a majority Of the demo
Gratis in the house are true and trier
men who wish to do their whole duty
but there are enough delinquents to brinl
disgrace upon the party. For this latte
class we have Just this to say--Tathe
than see them reelected, we would rathe
the democratic party should ever RENAL
in the minority.
