The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1894-05-04

Ex-president Harrison has been
talking about the Coxeyites. He
says they "are burrying to Wash
ington 10 endeavor 10 impress by
their presence upon the members Of
congress certain political views Ito
tell our representatives that the
workmen Of the country are in dis
lress and reed relief. Ibelieve If
the Republican policies OF admins
tration had not been threatened, we
should not have Witnessed this sad
almost appalling manifestation"
WhereupOn the New York Post
comments: "To the eye Of the gen.
eral public the industrial army is
a collection of lramps aud criminals,
who deliberately refuse work every
day OF their lives and enjoy march
ing through the county in mobs
and living on the farmers and viii
layers. To the more perspicacious
gaze OF the ex-president. they are
citizens hurrying to Washington 'to
impress on members Of congress
certain political views
"To differ with a thoughtful ex-
president seems n serious matter,
and yet we will venture on the as
sertion that there is not a view in
the whole army. What the army
wants is bacon, whiskey, hominy,
pie and the like, without working
for them, and we warrant they are
perfectly Indifferent whether these
blessings come to them under the
Mckinley bill or under the Wilson
bill. Moreover, they will, we are
sure. exempt any representative
from the necessity of listening to
their opinions on the present finan-
cial situation for q silver dime, or
any senator for a quarter. = = :
"No tramp ever dreamed that he
had views on the tariff until he
heard of 1t from Gen. Harrison, or
that when meandering through the
country robbing orchards and hen
roosts and frightening the women,
he was really acting as a deputalion
to congress to oppose the Wilson
bill. Consider what a delightful
prospect this opens up to this Will
ON lonely wanderer."

Abraham Lincoln ranks with Stone
wall Jackson Mt the head of the civil
war period, but IL IL. nevertheless, true
that when the supreme American"
does come, he will be quito a different
man from Abraham Lincoln, or from
Stonewall Jackson either for that mat
tor.
The eastern college professors, who
began by thinking Lincoln AZ ignor-
ant and dangerous boor from the
arowdY West" have now gone to the
other extreme, and arc laudiug him as
the greatest American of all time.
They arc as absurd ut one extreme as
they were at the other.
IL is absurd 10 say that In iullncss
aud completeness of character Lincoln
ranks above Washington and Jeffer-
son. Yet, absurd as 1t is, the very
Brahmins who once laughed at him
are now saying 1t of him.
Although Washington was not
great genius, his character comes near
or completeness than that of any man
In the politics of this or any other
country; while jefferson was a great
genius-a man Of such transcendent
ability that, In power of intellect as
shown In his theories, he stands head
and shoulders above all American
tatesmen-above all the statesmen of
modern times. Not TO know this is to
be ignorant Of that in tho past of A.
merica, which alono can adequately
explain The present.
Remarkable In everything eud all
IN many things, Mr.. Lincoln
had n character which was crude even
In its strength. lie overcame immense
obstacles. lie rose from the lowest
depths to the highest station by bis
with the class from which
he sprung. lie was benevolent IN ev-
crYthing and In many things acute
and far-sighied, but bis intellect nev-
er was well balanced and he was more
han once on ihe verge of mental col
lapse.
The time has como for all Ameri-
cans to know the truth without preju-
lice as II concerns this great man, aud,
knowing It, to SEQ thar he had weak
ncsscs aud faults of character as rc-
as the qualities which made |
him great. But II will never be pos
Iible 10 reach The truth through read
ng exaggerated eulogy any more than
I has been through giving heed to
he misconceptions Of prejndiecd ami
Louis Republic.

Modern WsrshIp.

The revelations Of The defects IN The
cruiser New York are worthy of the
most serious consideration. Coming
as they do on the heels OF the exposure
Of moro armor frauds, they suggest
the advisability Of snspending the con-
structiou OF irouclads until il Is ascer-
iaincd whether modern ironclads arc
OF any value.
These discoveries OF faulty cousiruc-
lion and Of rotten armor follow simis
lar discoveries in Great Britain and
France. In tho latter country Il 10
only few days ago that the Mngcmia,
the latest battlc-ship, supposed 10 be a
model, on whose principles onr own
batile-ships have been constructed, was
found 10 be unseaworihy.
II has been our boast that We have
waited 70 profit by the experiments Of
others. The boast seems unfonnded
in view OF the fact that our crack ship
seems so faulty that she would DO
source of danger TO her own crew in d
battle.
Arc all modern warships good for
nothing2 IL may bo grim suggest
ion, but the reflection naturally occurs
that a naval battle between modern
warships may be desirable In order tU
obtain an answer to this question. 10
Is apparent from recent Developments
that the next naval 6ght will result Ia
the most appalling disaster known 10
the high seas. In the meantime we
had best go very slow with the build-
ing Of new vessels N. Y. World.

The DIIatorY Policy Of couurs...

For the Revsills.1
In the SD congress now in session
there are in the House of Represent
atives 656 members, $40 of whom
are Democrats, 127 Republicans and
10 Populists.
In the senate there are SO men,
bers, A Democrats, 38 Republicans
and 3 Populists, A of whom are
lawyers, and in the house of repre-
sentatives there are 229 lawyers, the
number Of lawyers in both houses
Of congress aggregating 273. Only
one member is listed as a specu-
lator.
1t is evident from the political
constitution of this body that the
Democratic party is responsible for
the delay in settling the tariff and
currency measures and for the con-
tinued financial distress and depres-
sion in business. Until these meas
ures are disposed Of we cannot ex-
pect any stable improvement i'm the
business outlook or our financial
condition. II our harvest season is
reached before these important
measures are settled we NAV expect
another season Of ruinously low
prices for our products.
This congress has been wrangling
over these measures sOr months.
The Democratic members are di-
yidcd into factions, each faction
having selfish and narrow purposes
in view. We are now on the eve
Of crisis, the result of which we
cannot fully foresee. A crisis
caused by this delay, the full dam
ger Of which can only be averted by
congress promptly settling these
two important questions. Unless
these factions i'm congress patri0ti-
cally ignore their selfish purposes,
the party will soon be thoroughly
disorganized and win lose the want
age ground it has been so long bat
tling for and will assuredly be de-
feated in the next presidential con-
tost.
What we want now in congress il
less seltishness, more honesty and
patriotism and men who have the
courage Of their honest convictions.
Men who seek to make politics
trade should not be encouraged.
There are now too many lawyers
and spectators in congress. Let
US in future seek to send men there
to represent US OF good, common,
practical sense. Men Of known hon.
esty, who have the courage of their
and would rather be
right than be president. The evils
Of which we complain can not be
rectiied by multiplying parties.
We should rather endeavor TO recti-
Iy what we may see TO be wrong in
our party organization and send the
right class of men TO make our laws.
Any want of integrity and moral
principle when discovered ought TO
Do fatal to the aspirations OF any
nan who asks our support TO ena-
Die him to reach congress. x.

A few days ago at convention OF
business men in ST. Louis ex-
Gov. Francis, OF Missouri, said:
"Each year the local papers give
from $500 to $1,000 in free lines to
the community in which they are
located. No other agency can or
will do this. The editor, in pro-
portion to bis means, does more for
his town than any other ten men,
and in all fairness with men, he
ought to be supported-not because
you like him or admire his writings,
but because the local paper is the
best Investment a community can
make. It may not be brilliantly
edited or crowded with thought, but
financially il is of more benefit TO
the community than the teacher or
the preacher. Understand me, /
do not mean mentally or morally,
but financially, aud yet on she NOR
al question you will find most OF
the local papers on the right side.
To-day the editors of the home pa
pers do the most for the least mon-
ey Of any people on the face Of the
earth"
A little thought or a little fnves-
tigation on the part OF the reader
will prove that this Is true, and that
the newspaper 10 altogether the best
friend OF any community. PeOnIe

Tired Eyes.

There is popular notion that 1t 10
much more dangerous 10 tire the eyes
by use than II is TO tire auy other or
gan of the body. IL Is not necessarily
injurious TO the legs or tire arms or The
brain to become tired, for proper rest
may restore all these to their normal
condition. The same is true Ia regard
to tho eyes. .'Proofrcadcrs, sewing
women and mechanics who use their
eyes for long limc upon near objects
must of necessity weary the muscles
which adjust the eye 20 vision; but IL
tho weariness Is compensated for by
rest AT proper intervals, there will be
no harm dono 10 the eyes, for they arc
go constructed that they can bear max
imum fatigue as well as other paris OF
the body. Eyes are not oycrworkedr
even II they feel very tired when the
task Is done, rs long as their natural
power returns after tho proper inter-
walls of rest during the day, and sleep
At night.-Wortbington's Magazlues
