natural swimmers. The only reason
why men excel them at the art is

SOUTHERN INDUSTRY.

The Chattanooga Tradesman in
its weekly review of the industrial
situation in the South, for the past
week, says:
The week has been unfavorable
owing to a cold wave, which extend
ed all over the South, and caused
great loss to truck farmers and
planters, In other lines of industry
the previous favorable reports have
been continued. Iron masters and
coal miners are somewhat increas-
ing their outputs, are not accumu-
lating stocks. It's understood that
their sales are on a small margin of
profit. Woodworking plants are in
creasing in number and Importance.
The formation of several large con-
Germs is reported during the week.
This industry is also selling its man
ufactures on a narrow margin, and
is in need of cooperation among its
members in order to procure great
err advantages, and to control the
cutting Of prices
Among other new industries now
under way, in the Southern states
are the following.
Brick works are to be built at
New Iberia, La, and Manchester,
Va, canning factories at Eufaula,
Ala, Kingsville, Ky, and Monroe
La, a cotton compress at Galveston,
Tex, and cotton mill at Salem, N

CALLS THEM TRAITORS.

The most sensational political
document of the age, Governor
Tillman's "prominciamento" against
Cleveland, not excepted, is the po-
litical address just issued by the
Minnesota Democratic Association
to the rank and file of the party in
Minnesota. After deprecating the
fact that the free list in the Wilson
tariff is not so large as demanded by
the Chicago platform of 1892,
says;
"Who are the men-Democrats in
name, protectionists in fact-who
have thus brought dishonor and
shame on our great party? Who
are they who have betrayed
the great loyal host who gave them
the power thus to deliver us into
the hands of the enemy2 Who are
they who have thus made certain
the apprehensions of our President
expressed in his inaugural, and Civ
en- to his thought the effect of
prophecy? Said he:
" Even if insuperable obstacle
and opposition, prevent the con-
sumation of our task, we shall
hardly be excused, and if failure
can be traced to our fault or neg
lect we may be sure the people will
hold us to swift and exacting re-
sponsibility.
"Who are these men who have
mterposed insuperable obstacles and
opposition and made failure due
to our fault and neglect? These
are the men; names fit to stand
alongside of Benedict Arnold in the
annals of our country:
Senator Calvin S. Brice of Ohio
David B. Hill and Edward Muir
ply, Jr., of New York.
'John B. Mcpherson and James
Smith, Jr., of New Jersey.
"Arthur p. German and Charles
S. Gibson of Maryland.
John N. Camden of West Vir-
ginia.
'Donelson Caffery and Edward D.
White of Louisiana.
"John j Morgan and James L.
Pugh of Alabama.
"These are men who wear the
mask of Democrats that they may
the better betray our cause; these
are they who have wrought this
marvellous changes putting our
party in the attitude of defeat and
giving to our opponents that of
victory.

CONGRESSIONAL FORECAST.
Tn Tariff Bill will Hold the Right
of-Way" in the Senate
Work in the House.


If the Democratic leaders of the
Senate do not miscarry, the present
week will be devoted almost exclus-
lively to a consideration of the tariff
bill by that body. Their plan is to
have the bill taken up each day inn
mediately after the conclusion of
routine morning business, which
means that they desire to absorb as
much of the morning hour, which
usually lasts until 2 o'clock, as pos
sible and cut out the discussion of
miscellaneous subjects, many of
which are introduced when a ques-
tion like the tariff bill is under dis
cussion, for the purpose of obtain
ing delay. They may not succeed
in getting such an order as this, but
the announcement of the purpose
of making an effort in that direc-
tion is an indication of this inten-
tention of crowding the debate
along as rapidly as it possibly can
be done. The Democratic members
of the finance committee will also
probably undertake to extend the
daily session until 6 o'clock, which
will most likely be resisted by the
Republicans.
Appropriation bills will have the
right-of-way in the House during
the week. 1t is the intention of
the House managers to push ahead
with these bills and get them out of
the way as soon as possible, Some
of the prominent House Democrats
are alarmed at the slow progress
made in the Senate with the tariff
bill and the seeming indifference
those in charge of it are manifest
ing. They think by clearing up the
work of the House the country will
see that any responsibility for the
delay of the tariff bill which may
exist will lay at the door of the Sen
ate,
After the post Office bill is dispos-
ed of the consular and diplomatic
bill will be called up, This bill will
probably be made the basis for
general review of the foreign rela-
tions of the government. The mat
ter connected with the attempt to
restore Queen Liliuokalani will be
again threshed over; that Brazilian
resolution and the action of Com
mander Stanton in saluting the in
surgent. De Mello, will come in for
their share of attention. as will also
the Bluefelds, Nicaragua, incident,
and, perhaps, the wreck of the Kear-
sage, In fact the debate will prob
ably take very wide range and may
touch upon any of the numerous
diplomatic controversies pending
The Bluefelds incident, involving
the enforcement of the Monroe
doctrine, coupled, perhaps, with an
intimation of bad faith on the part
of Great Britain in carrying out the
award of the Behring Sea tribunal,
will probably attract attention.
The chances are the discussion of
the result will consume the remain
der of the week, after the postofice
bill is completed, but if not, the
army bill. The river and harbor
bill will follow it.

COxEY AND HIS LITTLE ARMY
The Treatment Both May Expect to
Meet at the Hands of Metro
politan Police,

which a car load of unemployed
men, commonly known as 'vags,
from Cincinnati, Ohio, were taken
into custody by the police of Wash
ington, D. c., on their arrival in
that city, as recruits for General
Coxey's army, will afford to Mr.
Coxey and the public at large very
fair idea of what may be expected
by the regular members of the In
dustrial army, on their arrival at
the seat of government. The men
arrested on Saturday night will be
brought into the police court, at
Washington, and a charge of vag-
rancy preferred against them. The
local law against vagrants applies
to all men without visible means of
support, who are destitute and like
ly to become charges upon the city,
who have no vocation or means Of
gaining a living or who solicit aims
The penalty is ninety days in the
workhouse at hard labor but it
rests within the discretion of the
Judge to accept their promises to
leave the city at once or to accept
5000 bonds aslsurety that they will
not beg or become public charges.
There is no doubt of the application
of this law to the band from Texas,
under Capt. Primrose, for the
search in the police station of the
men showed that the total cash
capital of the company amounts to
about So. They have received two
good meals during theday, and have
been passably comfortable except
for the ignominy of confinement in
cells usually occupied by criminals,
Capt. Primrose, the leader of the
band, may find himself in more SER
ious trouble than his followers.
There is an old law on the statute
books, which was passed in 1880,
which makes it an offense to bring
into the District of Columbia any
destitute people who are likely to
become public charges, with pen
atty of from $25 to $50 for each
ofense The police authorities are
considering the advisability of
bringing a charge of violating this
law against the leader, in which
case his fines, or the alternative
workhouse Imprisonment, would
amount to a very heavy punish
ment.
The same charge may be brought
against Gen, Coxey, if disaster does
not overtake the army of the com
monweal before it completes it's
itineracy OF course the vagrancy
act may be brought into operation
against his followers, and, besides,
there are two other laws which it is
the openly advertised purpose of the
Coxeyites to break One is the act
Of Congress regulating the use Of
the Capitol grounds which forbids
any gathering, demonstration or
parade, the making of any GRAFTON,
or use of threatening language, the
display Of any banner or device to
attract attention, The others is a
local law which forbids men to con-
gregate on the steps of any public
or private building. 1t rests with
in the discretion of the Vice-Presi-
dent and Speaker Of the House to
suspend the Capital regulations for
any proper purpose and perhaps
Coxey's agents will apply to them
for permission to carry out their
