A Bold Charge.

The charge made by the New York
Press, reference to which will he found
in our dispatches this morning, that the
sugar trust paid 100000 for such legisla-
tion as it wanted and guaranteed senators
who speculate in sugar stock profit of
$50 a share, is a very sensational one.
It is charge which many will believe
unless it is promptly and authoritatively
contradicted.
There may be some foundation for the
story. The Press should be required to
show whether there is or not. If there is
not, the Press is guilty of an outrage of
the grossest character. and should be
made to suffer in proportion to its offense.
The chances are that the story is I'M
true. 1t is hardly probable that any SEN
ator would have dealings with the trust.
No senator could afford to put himself in
the trusts power. And he would have to
put himself in its power if he accepted
money from it, or permitted it to guaran-
tee him profit from his speculation in
its shares
The Press is q VIGOROUSLY sensational
paper. 1t is bitterly partisan, and has
statements in respect to tariff legislation
ever since the tariff bill has been und er
consideration. 1t aims to be sensational
rather than truthful. Its assertions are
so reckless that they can have no weight
with well informed people.
1t may be that the Senate will take no
notice of the charges unless reiterated by
a paper having more weight than the
Press. That paper has been trying to de
feat all tariff legislation and it has had
no scruples apparently in using any
methods to accomplish its object. 1t may
think the charges of corruption it now
makes will have the effect of creating such
opposition to the sugar schedule among
| democrats that it will be impossible to
reach any agreement in respect to that
| article

pisoiplininn Mr.. mills.

! Our Washington dispatches state that
! the democratic senators who induced the
/ finance committee to report over 400
amendments to the Wilson bill have de-
! termined not 10 permit Senator Mills to
have the place on the finance committee
made vacant by the death of Senator
Vance. They want TO discipline him
for the attack he made on them a day or
two ago for virtually changing the char
acter of the Wilson bill. They know if
he were on that committee it would be
about impossible to have the amendments,
proposed by that committee, adopted, be-
cause he would oppose them.
The attempt to discipline Senator Mills
will do that senator no harm. II may
annoy him a little, but he knows the
great majority of the democrats are in
hearty sympathy with his tariff views,
which he so vigorously expressed recently
in a speech in the Senate. He can, there
fore, regard with amusement the efforts
of the tariff compromisers to belittle and
side-track him.
1t is very well understood that this con
Fress was chosen to reform the tariff, not
to enact tariff that does not differ
greatly from the Mckinley tariff. The
wide departure from a tariff for revenue
measure which is shown in the proposed
amendments to the Wilson bill is the
work of few senators who insist upon
violating the expressly declared doctrine
of the Democratic party.
Senator Mills has done the Democratic
party a real service by calling attention to
the work of the compromise senators and
denouncing it. What he said may do no
immediate good, because the compromise
senator's are in a position to have their
way or defeat the tariff bill, but his bold
and uncompromisine attitude in favor of
tariff reform will cause the people to re
member and honor him He will vote for
the tariff bill and whatever amendments
to it that may be adopted. He will not,
however, do so willingly, but because it
is necessary for the good of the party and
the country that tariff bill should be
passed as quickly as possible, even though
it should not be exactly the kind Of bill
promised by the Democratic party.

It seems that the finance committee is
willing to restore the rates on uncleaned
rice and paddy that were adopted by the
House. The senators from this state,
Louisiana and South Carolina, having
been notified by their constituents that
the rice industry cannot stand the reduc-
tionproposed by the finance committee,
will spare no efforts to have the com
mittee rescind its action.
1t would be interesting to know what
influence it was that induced the finance
committee to reduce the rice rates
adopted by the House a quarter of a cent
pound on uncleaned rice and paddy
without giving the rice planters chance
to be heard. The ways and means COM
mittee reduced the rice duty after having
given all interested parties a hearing,
and the planters accepted the reduction
In the general reduction of the tariff they
expected there would be cut in the rice
duty, but they were compensated, in a
measure, for this loss by restriction
which prevented the Importation of
sound rice at the duty for broken rice
They did not expect a further reduction
in the duty from the finance committee,
and its action was a great surprise to
them. While it is reasonably certain
now that the House rates will be restored,
still those who induced the finance com
mittee TO act as it did will not cease their
efforts to accomplish their object. 1t is
! important, therefore, that our senators
should watch the rice schedule carefully
until the bill is finally passed.
To-day the county of Taliaferro will
| select delegates TO the state convention,
and on Saturday next Hall, Gwinnett,
Milton, Monroe and Hancock will act.
| Gwinnett and Monroe have four votes
each and the others two votes each. For
! the convenience of our readers who may
wish TO keep a pocket "tab" upon the
race for the governorship, the following
/ facts are given: There are in the state
six counties that have votes each in the

saying the company must accede to the

again it is said, in our dispatches of yes
terday, that if every man who went out
during the Great Northern strike is not

The monograph will play an important
part in the democratic campaign in Penn
sylvania this year. Stump speaking is to
be revolutionized. A few nights ago
Chairman Kane, of Norristown, addressed
the Young Mems Democrat Club. A pho
nograph was placed near the speaker,
and his tariff arguments were bottled up
for use in the country districts The pho
nograph will be carried around over the
country, and when the meetings have
been called to order the chairman will
turn a crank. The instrument will
do the rest. The idea, as will be seen
at a glance, lis immense, if it can
be made TO work at all Campaign com.
mittees could forward photographic cyl
inders to Washington and get the con-
gressmen to make speeches to them in the
cloak rooms They could get Hill and
Mills, and Crisp. and Wilson to record
half-hour speeches on the cylinders, and
there is not a democrat in the land but
would go miles to hear those four men
talk on the tariff. Every democrat in any
country district would turn out to the
schoolhouse to hear even machine-made
speeches from such men. Another bright
idea would be to have a photograph
loaded with fiveminute speech by some
prominent man at the polls on election
day. The novelty would draw out every
voter in the precinct, and he could listen to
the little speech aud have his patriotism
aroused to the highest pitch the moment
before depositing his ballot

An Unsatisfactory Explanation

The fact that there areno CoXey armies
in the south does not give satisfaction to
Frederick Douglass and other men of his
ilk. A day or two ago he said the reason
there are no Coxey armies in the south
moving toward Washington is that the
labor is for the most part colored, and
has not yet reached the point of agita-
ton. In his opinion the colored labor is
ir the condition of serfdom
Douglass knows very little about the
condition of labor in the south. Even if
he thought southern labor was happily
situated he would not admit it. He is so
bitterly hostile to the southern people
that he cannot see that there is anything
in the south to admire and commend.
AS matter Of fact the colored labor in
the south is not in a condition of serfdom.
1t is as free and has as many opportuni-
ties for material improvement as any
other labor in the world. The colored
children have good schools which are
supported by the whites, and those of the
colored people who are thrifty are accu-
mulating property. Many of them own
their own homes, and in every southern
state they are becoming land owners.
In this state the colored people own
millions of dollars worth of property,
and the amount of their wealth
is steadily increasing. In other south
ern states they are equally as well
| off. 1t is safe to say that in no other
part of the world are the laboring people
so well of and so contented as those of
| the south. This condition of the blacks is
not satisfactory to Douglass because it does
not sustain his theory that the blacks are
badly treated. He would much prefer
his race should suffer indignities and
| harsh treatment in order that he could
| have theme for his lectures and news
paper interviews. The truth is not what
he. wants. He wants views that are
based upon his prejudices against the
whites of the south sustained. Instead
of being friend, he is an enemy of his
