stil1 Circulating a Falsehood.

/ The colored woman, Ida Wells, who
has been endeavoring to create public
sentiment in England against lynching
blacks in the south, has returned to this
country, and has been interviewed in
New York It appears she went to Eng
land on the invitation of an English
/ woman. who became interested in the
blacks during visit to this country.
/ Ida Wells says she went to
England TO get the moral support
Of that wise Christian nation
when / should demand in this country
that the negro should have a fair trial
when charged with crime, and not be
made the scapegoat of a white mans
crime or a white woman's falsehood. -
While we are opposed to lynching,we are
free to say that we think it doubtful if
this woman can point to a single instance
where a black man, who has been
lynched was the victim of "a white
mans crime or a white womans false
hood" Bishop Thompson of Mississippi,
who is a northern man,
said, sometime ago, that he
has yet to learn of the lynching of
black man who was not guilty of the
crime with which he was charged. And
in almost every instance the man lynched
was charged with most heinous crime
against white woman. Indeed, it is
crime Of this nature for which blacks are
lynched, and blacks of the class to which
Ida Wells belongs refuse to see that the
way to stop the lynchings is for the
blacks to create a strong sentiment
among the people of their race against
crimes of this nature.
In her interview Ida Wells says:
while | was in London Gov. Nerthen Of
Georgia wrote to the London Chronicle
protesting against the publicity given by
the London papers to my statements re-
garding the lynchings in the south, and
! characterizing those statements as false
hoods. The London Chronicle replied
that its editorials were not based upon my
unsupported statement, and mentioned
clippings from papers of the south bear
ing out my statements. Three days after
Gov NOrthens letter was received the
cable brought news of the lynching of a
negro in Gov. Northen's own state, and
that negro was cut down before he was
dead and skinned alive
While it is true that story was cabled
to London that a negro had been skinned
alive in Pierce county, there was no
foundation for the story. The MORNING
News published several times that the
story was untrue, and finally leading Off
Gals of Pierce county made thorough
investigation of it and branded it as a
falsehood. 1t is a difficult matter to
reach with denial all who hear false
hood, and so this Pierce county yarn is
still being circulated. If Ida Wells has
heard the denial she shows herself I'M
worthy to represent people of her race
by continuing to circulate the story. The
story really carries its own refutation,
because there are nowhere in Georgia
people who would be guilty of such bar
barity as charged in the Pierce county
story.

Mr.. Carlisle.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal DEM
The attempt to fasten upon the Secretary
of the Treasury either inconsistency or de
Ception by reason OF the Presidents letter to
tee will not succeed. 1t is altogether posi-
tle that Mr.. Carlisle did not see that letter
until he saw it in Print Nothing is likelier
than that Mr. Cleveland consulted no one be
fore sending it, That, at any rate. would be
characteristics But il is quite certain that
when the secretary, at the muzzle Of Mr..
Germans olunderouss, this bill, or no bill -
gave his qualified approval to the Senate
amendments, he did SO in good faith and
spoke alike for himself and the adminstra-
ton.

Senator Smith has an idea that the
southern congressman know little or
nothing about the tariff, because they come
from "sparsely settled sections of the
country" They know enough to keep
the country out of the clutches of the
sugar trust. Smiths idea of the tariff
seems to be to let the sugar trust dictate
the sugar schedule. The country is likely
to have more confidence in the knowledge
of southern congressman in respect to the
tariff than they have in Smiths.

pemocratio Protectionists.

From the New York Evening Post DENY.
The attitude of such senators as Mr. Cor
man, Mr. Smith and Mr.. Caffery is, in one
sense surprising. They belong to a party
which has long stood for a revenue tariff and
which succeeded at the last election with a
platform which explicitly declared protective
duties unconstitutional But when the time
comes for realizing what was promised to the
people, and for actually abolishlng protective
duties, these men refuse to go with their
party, and positively maintain that the meas
ure now before cong ress is not such as good
democrats should support.

The railway mail clerks do not like the
recent order of the postofice department,
requiring them to live on the lines of
their routes They say that to comply
with the order would require them to
make great pecuniary sacrifices. The
order, however, is based upon good rea-
sons Clerks who live off their lines can
not respond promptly when their ser
vices are needed in sudden emergencies,
and it therefore frequently happens that
mail trains leave their initial points with
out a full complement Of clerks. This
causes delay in delivering the mails The
clerks are given until March / to dispose
of their homes and secure others, in &C
cordanca with the order.

A piece Conformation that is attract
ing attention was furnished by the chap
lain who delivered prayer at the open
ing of the Iowa republican state conven-
ton the other day. In the course of his
prayer he stated that the Democratic
party was about to be buried beyond res
direction. He did not state the date of
the obseauies, but the members of the
delegation were so impressed by his de-
liverance that they thought it was a
waste Of time to talk about beating the
democracy by the usual methods. If the
democracy is about to be buried, they ar
gued, what was the use of making fight
against it. What wonderfully knowing
fellows some preachers are!

One of these days, not far inthe future,
congress may have big bill for damages
TO pay, if it does not provide a building
for public printing. The present govern
ment printing Office is in rickety old
building that threatens to tumble down.
The printers sent a protest to congress
this week against being compelled to re-
main in it. They declared that it is in a
dangerous condition. The main reason
why congress delays erecting a building
for printing purposes is that land specu-
lators want about three times as much
for any land that is available as it is
worth.

Jsdge Hines is not proving himself to
be a leader Of sufficient magnetism to
arouse enthusiasm in the ranks of the
populists He is making a very tame
campaign. Unless he does better than
ne has yet he will not poll as large q vote
as the populist candidate for governor
did two years ago. The truth appears. to
be that Judge Hines isn't quite so much
OF populist as some Of the populist lead
ers would like. He recognizes the truth
and strength Of the principles of the
grand old Democratic party, and that
fact hampers him when he begins to talk
populism to a crowd of populists.

1t is apparent to every thinking man
that with wheat at 50 cents bushel and
cotton at Z cents pound it is impossible
for the farmers to continue paying the
prices for manufactured articles
the Mckinley tariff compels them
TO pay. The Mckinley tariff is
largely responsible for the present hard
times, and the sooner it is got rid Of the
better it will be for the whole country.
The protectionists may argue as they
please, they cannot avoid the conclusion
that the Mckinley tariff imposes upon the
farmers heavier burdens than they can
bear.

benefcient scheme of tariff reform cannot

beneficient scheme of tariff reform cannot
be successfully inaugurated.
When we give to our manufacturers free
raw materials, we unshackle American en-
terprise and ingenuity and these will open
the doors of foreign markets to the recep-
ton of our wares and give opportunity for
the continuous and remunerative employ
ment of American labor. With materials
cheapened by their freedom from tariff
charges, the cost of their product must be
cOrrespondingly cheapened. Thereupon
Justice and fairness to the consumer would
demand that the manufacturers be obliged
to submit to such readjustment and mod
ification of the tariff upon their finished
goods as would secure to the people the
benefit of the reduced cost of their manu-
facture and shield the consumer against
the exaction of inordinate profits.
1t will thus be seen that free raw ma
terials and just and fearless regulation
and reduction of the tariff to meet the
changed conditions would carry to every
humble home in the land, the blessings of
increased comfort and cheaper living.
The millions of our countrymen who
have fought bravely and we'll for tariff re-
form should be eXhorted to continue the
struggle, boldly challenging to open war
fare and constantly guarding against treach-
cry and half-heartedness in their camp.
Tariff reform will not be settled until 1t
is honestly and fairly settled in the interest
and to the benefit of patient and long
suffering people.
Yours very truly,

THE NEW TARIFF BILL
Becomes Law Without the
Presidents Signature.

The Constitutional Limit Expired Nom
day NIght---Mr. Cleveland Writes a
Letter to Representative CatchinRs.
Mr.. Cleveland allowed the Democratic
tariff bill to become law without his sig
nature. The constitutional period of ten
days, provided for the President to consid-
er the BILL expired with the midnight hour
Monday night, when, the President having
failed to return the bill to Congress with
or without his approval, it became law
and went into operation throughout the
country Tuesday morning. Contrary to
the expectation of many Mr.. Cleveland did
not send a tariff message to Congress. In
stead of this he addressed to Representa-
tive Catchings of Mississippi the letter
herewith printed, in which he sets forth
his view of the new law, and gives his rea-
sons for not signing the bill.
Both houses of Congress came to final
adjournment Tuesday afternoon at 2
o'clock. Less than 20 Senators and not
more than so Representatives were in their
places when the adjournment was declared.

The Real question at Issue.


From the Boston Advertiser.
Whether or not legislation at our national
capital can be bought; whether or not
criminal conspiracy in the form of trust
shall outweigh, in Washington, the wishes
and the welfare of the sovereign people;
whether or not, when a measure reeking
with corruption and potmarked with
treachery, falsehood and multiform infamy
has had its true character exposed, so that
the whole country knows and proclaims
the character of the vile thing, that
measure is to pass the Senate, pass the
House and pass the President, and then
the people are to condone the crime by
keeping in power the party that is guilty
these are the questions beyond all others
that are going to be uppermost in the public
mind from this time right on until shutdown
of the Tuesday after the first Monday OF
November next.

NEW HAMPSHIRE NOTES.
Incendiary Fires Burn Farm Buildings
at North CharIestOwn.

The people of North Charlestown are
greatly exercised over the outbreak of
three fires within short time, all of which
are supposed to have been of incendiary
origin. The first fire was discovered by
Mr.. Farwel in the hay in his barn Friday,
but it was quickly extinguished. The next
evening another fire was started in Mr..
Farwell's hay NOV, and when discovered
it had gained such Roadway that it could
not be controlled. The barns and the
brick house, with nearly all their contents,
were destroyed. The buildings were in
sured for only $500 on valuation of over
5000. Mr.. Farwell is man of high re-
pute, with no enemies as far as known.
He is brother of Jesse Farwell of De-
troit, who erected the fine schoolhouse at
North Charlestown. Monday night the
buildings on the Leland farm, occupied by
William Wheeler, were burned, this fire
starting also in hay NOW. The house
hold furniture was saved, but the contents
of the barn were burned. The farm is
owned by Charles Holland of Worcester.
Daniel NJ. Reyes of East Boston was ia
tally injured at Claremont Saturday, being
thrown from carriage in the hospita
grounds, while driving with his wife anC
niece. Several ribs were broken, penetrat
ing the lungs. 1t is singular fact that Mr.
Keyes was injured within two rods o
where his father was thrown from car
and killed

Willard Parsons, the clergyman of lit
tie church at the village of Sherman, Penn
sylvania, inspired by genius of the heart,
came to the metropolis in the summer
of 1877, and selected from its slums ten Of
its forlornest children and took them to his
rural home. His parishiOners, to whom
he had communicated his intent, warmly
welcomed them to their houses and gave
them gratis of the best they had. AT the
end of a fortnight they returned to town,
refreshed and delighted with their new
experience. Other children of a like grade
went to the same place and the same
persons and received the same generous
treatment. The experiment succeeded
beyond all anticipations, and has produced
excellent and abundant fruit throughout
the country and in Europe.
